    Hmm... after those two, not sure if the Wachowski brothers have all that many fans left. Still, I am sure a lot of us will watch for Natlie Portman.

    Anyoneelse heard the story about a woman suing the Wachowski brothers saying they ripped of her story for the first Matrix movie?

      Sophia Stewart is full of shit. The "Matrix" was invented by Douglas Addams in 1978's Dr. Who episode "The Deadly Assassin." I wrote to her to point this out and the letter she wrote back showed no ability to write anything cohesive. The letter literally read like this: "You must belive that I came up with the ideas..... James Cameron ripped me off...." Note she used ..... at the end of EVERY sentence.

      She was even trying to get Warner Bros. and just about everyone in Hollywood prosecuted under RICO statures.

      The woman will never get a dime, never.

  2. In light of recent events... by johnthorensen · · Score: 4, Interesting

    From TFWS...

    Synopsis: Set against the futuristic landscape of totalitarian Britain, V For Vendetta tells the story of a mild-mannered young woman named Evey (Natalie Portman) who is rescued from a life-and-death situation by a masked vigilante known only as "V." Incomparably charismatic and ferociously skilled in the art of combat and deception, V ignites a revolution when he detonates two London landmarks and takes over the government-controlled airwaves, urging his fellow citizens to rise up against tyranny and oppression. As Evey uncovers the truth about V's mysterious background, she also discovers the truth about herself - and emerges as his unlikely ally in the culmination of his plot to bring freedom and justice back to a society fraught with cruelty and corruption.

    Think that they'll be adjusting any of that due to the recent bombings in London?

    The question going around the Mac forum at Ars is, what are they using to encode 5.1 channel AAC audio in these new H.265 trailers?

    The trailer actually gives me hope, as it portrays some importants scenes from the comic, as the take over of the tv channel, the torture of evey, and her under the rain.
