Glenn Kenny’s New Blog

A day after learning and announcing that his job at Premiere.com had been eliminated, Glenn Kenny has already set up a new personal blog, free of association with Premiere/Hachette. Well, sort of: the subtitle on the TypePad blog is, currently, “Film writer Glenn Kenny’s own bought-and-paid-for-blog, thank you very goddamn much.” The title-title is Some Came Running, and in the first entry, Kenny explains what he hopes to do with it: “Consider this space the drunken boat we stand in, trying to pull either and/or both of these figures in. Not to be loopy, or maudlin, or anything. Just a fancy way of saying…let’s hang, my friends.”

Anna Nicole Resurrected! Clip of the Day.
The lost Anna Nicole Smith biopic surfaces on YouTube. And it’s meta!!!
Rich at FourFour has made an amazing discovery. A little over a year ago, a Variety story announced that pop star Willa Ford had been cast in a biopic about Anna Nicole Smith. According to IMDb, Anna Nicole was completed in 2007, but as Rich points out, it apparently never even received so much as a DVD release. But Rich found the film on a torrent site, in a manner which, he says, “leads me to believe that no official release by way of DVD is even in the pipeline. I’m guessing that this thing really was just dumped online for free because no one would take it.” So he did what any upstanding member of the community would do: he edited the film down into seven minutes of pure, golden “campy crapiness.”
See the finished product above. I think it goes without saying that my favorite part is when Anna Nicole returns from the grave to ponder media coverage of her demise. “Hell,” breaths Ford, who, incidentally, is way too well-proportioned for the role. “Maybe they’ll even make a movie about me.” Wink!

Is Shia LaBeouf’s Mutt Williams The Future Of The ‘Indiana Jones’ Franchise?
Nineteen years after he last hung up his whip, the man with the hat is officially back next weekend, when “Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull” opens May 22. Now just how much longer will we have to wait before he returns again? That’s the question we’re asking today with news that […]
Nineteen years after he last hung up his whip, the man with the hat is officially back next weekend, when “Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull” opens May 22. Now just how much longer will we have to wait before he returns again?
That’s the question we’re asking today with news that George Lucas has already come up with a storyline for a potential 5th Indiana Jones film. The Search for Atlantis? The Quest for the Fountain of Youth? How about, the Pursuit of a New Leading Man?
Believe it, Lucas told Fox News, saying that any future installment of the Indy franchise would most likely move forward with Shia LaBeouf’s Mutt Williams as the main character, Indy regulated to sidekick status, a la Sean Connery in “Last Crusade.”
For his part, LaBeouf — after a year of couched answers and hiding secrets — seems positively thrilled at the possibility.
Change that. When MTV News caught up with the precocious young star this morning at the Cannes Film Festival, he seemed downright giddy.
“I don’t think a Mutt spinoff would be as big as Indiana Jones,” he told MTV. “[But] fingers crossed!”
But what about us? Obviously so much depends on how LaBeouf fares with critics and fans when “Crystal Skull” opens — and even if he’s a homerun nothing, of course, is a certainty — but what do you think about an Indiana Jones film without, well, much Indiana Jones? Does LaBeouf have the chops to continue the most iconic franchise of my lifetime? Would you want another group of sequels, or would they diminish the original three (soon four) in your mind?
And while we’re at it, how would it work? Sound off on your thoughts, desires, and ideas for where a sequel could go below. The choice is in your hands. Choose…wisely.
