Knowing Teaser Post

Academy Award Winner Nicholas Cage stars in the gripping action thriller Knowing. In 1958, as part of the dedication ceremony for a new elementary school, a group of students is asked to draw pictures to be stored in a time capsule. But one mysterious girl fills her sheet of paper with rows of apparently random numbers instead. Fifty years later, a new generation of students examines the capsule’s contents and the girl’s cryptic message ends up in the hands of young Caleb Myles. But it is Caleb’s father, professor Ted Myles (Nicholas Cage), who makes the startling discovery that the encoded message predicts with pinpoint accuracy the dates, death tolls and coordinates of every major disaster of the past 50 years. As Ted further unravels the document’s chilling secrets, he realizes the document foretells three additional events - the last of which hints at destruction on a global scale. When Ted’s attempts to alert the authorities fall on deaf ears, he takes it upon himself to try to prevent more destruction from taking place. Ted’s increasingly desperate efforts take him on a heart-pounding race against time until he finds himself facing the ultimate disaster - and the ultimate sacrifice. Knowing is directed by Alex Proyas (I, Robot, Dark City, The Crow). Knowing hits theaters on March 20th 2009.

Repo Man Sequel Starts Filming Next Month

Alex Cox’s Repo Man sequel Repo Chick is finally going into production next month (January 2009). Production Weekly reports that David Lynch is producing the project.

The original 1984 film told the story of Otto, a newly hired repossession man who goes in search for a mysterious Malibu carrying a high value package which was taken from a government lab and has strange effects on anyone who views it.

Cox has previously said that the follow-up will “unfold against the background of the credit crunch and the subprime mortgage crisis in the US, where repossessions of homes, cars and other forms of property is at a new high. ‘The repo business has expanded to everything from boats, houses, aeroplanes, small nations…children”.

Otto Spoerri, dubbed "the most powerful person in Hollywood" for his role determining seating at the Oscars, has died at the age of 75.

Spoerri served as controller at the Academy Of Motion Picture Arts And Sciences from 1978 until 2002. A statement released by the Academy said that he died on Saturday in his hometown of Zurich, Switzerland.

Although he oversaw the Academy's accounting department, Spoerri was better known for masterminding seating plans for the annual Oscars ceremony. During his time positioning big screen greats, The Wall Street Journal referred to him as "the ultimate arbiter of industry power", while The AP called him "the most powerful person in Hollywood".

However, Spoerri played down his reputation, saying: "It's just working with the producer of the broadcast to make sure that where people sit makes the show flow smoothly."
