...still pretty faithful to the show. We were very specific in honoring the show - down the shape of the mouth of the cave they are sleeping in to the crevasse they need to run across as the dinosaur is chasing them. Even when it came to Chaka, I took the facial proportions of the original kid who played the character and imagined what would happen if this kid, who just freaked me out as a viewer, became an adult. So in this movie, Chaka's this really sketchy character who always bails whenever they're in trouble, and Marshall...
...impressed that you got Will to dump dino urine over himself not once, but twice The script originally only called for it once. But then on the second take he just took it so much further, drinking it and showering in it a second time. On set, I'm not just directing but I'm also often running the handheld camera, and you can actually see the camera shake there as I just lost it.

Elie Wiesel, the Nobel Peace Prize-winning author, who had been a prisoner at the camp as a teenager, walked with Obama. "If these trees could talk," Wiesel said...
...Hong Kong, all of whom have been able to give their people high levels of prosperity, health care, and education. None of those societies had easy births. In the 1950s, Singapore was a backwater of the British Empire. Taiwan was deeply divided, in the years after the Communist party took control on the Chinese mainland, between exiles and locals. The spectacular growth of Hong Kong between 1950 and 1980 (Arab states would do well to remember) was fueled by the dynamism and determination of poor refugees from communism looking to build a better future for their children. Indeed, the predominantly...
