...Kassar regained the film rights. "I felt assured that the project will be made with respect to the original," said Stone, although co-star Michael Douglas, director Paul Verhoeven and screenwriter Joe Eszterhas won't re-up. "I'm hoping that this will also be a two-box-of-popcorn fun experience at the theater." Like it was the boxes of popcorn packing people...

...portable DVD player and sobbing like a freshly minted Mafia widow. The last time I cried so hard at a movie was as a kid when Old Yeller bought it at the end. Only this time, instead of containing my grief by burying my head in a bucket of popcorn in a darkened movie theater, I was bawling on a 7:30 a.m. train to Manhattan.

(But I'm petrified that Gibson will give his "They'll never take our freedom" speech as "They'll never take our tea.") Heath Ledger (soooo silly in Ten Things I Hate About You) is said to give...

...gotta love Wolfgang Peterson summer popcorn flicks. (Not Wolfgang Puck. He makes pizzas. Though Spago's pies in the summer time are warm and refreshing!) In any case, The Perfect Storm, Peterson's entry in to this year's derby, is building up buzz as the film to beat. His films always have a balance of compelling drama and the requisite action; Air Force One and In the Line of Fire both were international box-office smashes.
