Lucasfilm is the first major production studio to set up shop in Asia, but competitors are right behind it. For years Hollywood has cut costs by outsourcing post-production--the editing, sound mixing and special effects that turn raw film into a blockbuster movie--to overseas firms. More than 90% of the animation for American films and television shows is processed in Asia, mainly in Japan and South Korea.

Gone are the days when the African Cup boasted a couple of giants such as George Weah or Roger Milla, surrounded by a gaggle of talented but raw prospects.

...northeast of England, and they might tell you two. On Sundays, they'd head to St. Nicholas, with its medieval history, 193-feet spire, and Eucharist services twice before noon. But on Saturdays, for more than a century, there's been St. James'. And for its worshipers, bracing the raw winds as they filed up the hill for evening service this weekend, the night promised everything they'd been waiting impatiently for. "The Messiah," says one man, rushing to take his seat, "is back for the second coming...
