...digital 3-D been available a dozen or so years ago when he shot Titanic, he'd have used it, director James Cameron tells me later. "But I didn't have it at the time," he says ruefully. "Certainly every film I'm planning to do will...
...finally ready for its closeup. Just about every top director and major studio is doing it--a dozen movies are slated to arrive this year, with dozens more in the works for 2010 and beyond. These are not just animations but live-action films, comedies, dramas and documentaries. Cameron is currently shooting a live-action drama, Avatar, for Fox in 3-D. Disney and its Pixar studio are releasing five 3-D movies this year alone, including a 3-D-ified version of Toy Story. George Lucas hopes to rerelease his Star Wars movies in 3-D. And Steven Spielberg...
...Future of 3-D Cameron's Avatar, due in December, could be the thing that forces theaters to convert to digital. Spielberg predicts it will be the biggest 3-D live-action film ever.

"On Tintin, I have both of my eyes open...
...chum [of Brown's] who should not be honored," opined a Daily Telegraph headline. The historian Andrew Roberts penned an opinion piece in the Daily Mail entitled "The Obsceneity of Giving Ted Kennedy a Knighthood." But the Conservative party - now a touchier-feelier bunch under the leadership of David Cameron - is also divided on the issue. Simon Burns, a Tory MP, submitted the following "early day motion" to the House of Commons: "This House warmly welcomes the awarding of an honorary knighthood to Senator Edward Kennedy for services to U.S.-U.K. relations and to the peace process in Northern Ireland...
