Director Tim Burton sent a video greeting along with a clip from his new stop-motion animation film The Corpse Bride.
The lengthy clip, which made its debut at the convention, revolves
around Victor (voiced by Johnny Depp) rehearsing his wedding vows the
day before his wedding. His role-playing in the forest has the
unintended effect of waking the Corpse Bride, a dead woman left at the
altar by a man a long time ago. The Bride's convinced that Victor is
her new true love, and pursues him. Bonejangles, a beatnik, jazz-singing
skeleton (voiced by Danny Elfman) and his band of bony jazz blowers
tell Victor the legend of the Corpse Bride. This musical sequence is
one of four musical numbers in the film.Quint at AICN writes "This musical number isn't as instantly classic as the best songs in A Nightmare Before Christmas, but it's really damn catchy and the scat that Bonejangles does is just awesome."
According to actor
Passion of the Christ
director Mel Gibson is ashamed of his first ever on screen kiss,
according to ContactMusic. The kiss was with another man in a movie
entitled Summer City. Gibson says, "It was a cheap, nasty movie that
was cranked out in three weeks on a tiny budget." Gibson won the role
during his graduation year at Australia's National Institute of
Dramatic Art. He never received the $450 he was promised for performing
the embarrassing movie scene with Steve Bisley. Ironically, the pair have
since worked together in the stage production of The Hostage and in the
first Mad Max movie.
Bruce Campbell says Hollywood is "creatively bankrupt." At a Comic-Con question and answer session, the cult actor went through the list of films that came out this summer, deconstructing each one. "First of all, every A-movie is a now a B-movie," he said. According to Campbell, any movie that relies on costumes and aliens falls into the B-movie category.
IGN talked with Futurama voice actor
Producer
Joel Silver, star Natalie Portman, co-producer Grant Hill and
co-creator David Lloyd were on hand to show off an exclusive clip which started with
a startled Portman running and hiding from "pursuers who want her to
give up the identity of the vigilante Vendetta – a masked marauder
carrying out his own version of justice on the streets of London." A
voice asks Portman if she understands the information they are after.
She answers "Yes." Then the voice asks, "Are you ready to tell us the
identity of V?" She answers, "No." We then cut to scenes of Vendetta
(played by Hugo Weaving) taking out his enemies one by one with a
knife. The trailer closes with the voice-over from Hugo Weaving saying "Remember, remember the
fifth of November."
The film I most wanted to see at Sundance 2005 wasn't at Sundance. It
was showing in Salt Lake City as part of Slamdance, the indie
alternative film festival to Sundance's more mainstream indie festival.
I was unfortunately unable to make the trek to the city to see the
documentary.
