[net.sf-lovers] Tying Up Loose Ends

I think the reason that Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom appears on the
side of the video of Raiders is that there is a coming attractions "trailer"
either before or after the actual film on that videotape. As far as I know,
the sequel is still called "Indiana Jones and the Teplmple of Doom", and it
opens nationally on May 25.

Ridley Scott is definitely the director of "Blade Runner". Tony Scott's first
and only film so far is the film, "The Hunger". Also, Ridley Scott's next
film will be "Legends",some sort of Dark Ages fantasy, with makeup and
"creatures" by Rob Bottin, who did the Thing in, of course, "The Thing".
Ridley Scott has also done some American commercials, most notably, the
Chalnel No. 5 ones("share the fantasy").

While on the subject of "Dune", I think it's scheduled for a Dec. 5 release.
Alasoso, David Lynch's next film will be a fairly low-budget "personal" film
(a la Speilbergsielbergs's E.T.) called R"Ronnie Rocket".

For whoever wanted to know who directed "The Last Wave", it was Peter Weir,
whose most recent film was "The Year of Living Dangerously".

Finally, "2010" will star Roy Scheider, John Lithgow, Bob Balaban and Keir
Dullea.

P.S. Where do I write to for input from Stephen King fans? No snide comments,
please. For those who are interested, "Firestarter" opens nationally on May
11. Also, I just read in Publisher's wWeekly that Universal is in the process
of acquiring the rights tho the Stephen King-Peter Straub collaberation, "The
Talisman" (to be published in Sept.), as a possible Steven Spielberg project!!
