Quickly now - Notes

— The Weinsteins picked up the rights to Todd Haynes I’m Not There, a Bob Dylan biopic (who coincidentally, was just busy trying to shut down another Weinstein biopic). The Dylan authorized picture is to be produced by Killer Films’ Christine Vachon, who wrote about how Haynes had originally conceived the project in her latest book, A Killer Life.

— Ang Lee apologizes to Shanghai citizens for Lust, Caution induced traffic jams.

— Elsewhere in China, genre mashup Big Movie (ala Scary Movie) takes on The Matrix, In the Mood for Love, and House of Flying Daggers, among a host of sacred cows.

— Aqua Teen takes big screen leap.

— CHUD asks “What if they released a movie and nobody came?” - unraveling the mystery (myth?) behind the 30 dollar, total box office run for Tom Sizemore and Katherine Heigl’s Zyzzyx Road. Once again, that’s Zyzzyx Road.

— Speaking of small receipts, Risky Biz wonders aloud - Jude Law, cursed?
