We're back from the weekend and it looks like Basterds are rich, Bioshock is back on track and Variety has got 9 nein problems, and new media is one! On with the news!
Why are people excited for the director of 28 WEEKS Later helming Bioshock? Did no one see that film? [Current]
Inglourious Basterds proved it has legs with a $37 million weekend, which I guess is good? [Current]
And here is a story that is "legit news" about the number 9 being in film titles that I mocked already. [Variety]
Well, $37 million is good for the Weinstein brothers, but only "a breather" to Wells. [HE]
Todd McFarlane to attempt another Spawn movie for the umpteenth time. Tired of watching his baseballs. [SHH!]
Sure, Takashi Shimizu is making a haunted song movie, but did you know about the haunted radio film? [IndieEye]
And finally, here is today's video to bring you humor...in America. [Japanator]

It recently came to our attention that someone in a script-writing course must really be into the number nine. Because it's showing up everywhere we look, no matter the region, the location, the story or the premise! You can't pop open a web browser these days without running into the number, whether it's written out or a part of another title. We're ready to join Twitch: Nein to Nine!
In fact, it's getting on a near-psychosis level that we're running into it. But why!? Let's take a gander at the films coming out that have decided to rally themselves around this number:
[youtube OnoJecu9e7c]
9
To Be Released: 9/9/2009
What's The Point: A post-apocalyptic thriller by way of Little Big Planet, Shane Acker's CGI film takes place after we're made aware this is a co-production between Tim Burton and Timur Bekmambetov (Night Watch). The cast is comprised of known names (Elijah Wood, John C. Reilly, Jennifer Connelly, Martin Landau, Crispin Glover) providing voices for our tiny, strung-together crew who are the last hope for Earth's survival after an unknown event. To counter-act their patchwork steampunk cuteness, they are chased by ROBOTS. And loud, swelling music plays a lot.
Why Use The Number: If the credits are to be seen, there are in fact nine members of the patchwork doll crew.
[youtube MJpwwdOomtY]
Nine
To Be Released: 11/25/2009
What's The Point: A Rob Marshall (Chicago) "musical" backed by The Weinstein Company as they desperately try to score a hit off the holiday season. Daniel-Day Lewis plays a fictional director based off Federico Fellini and an interpretation of 8 1/2. Then famous actresses show up. But one part of the press release had us cackling. See if you can tell:
...while balancing the numerous women in his life including his wife (Marion Cotillard), his mistress (Penelope Cruz), his film star muse (Nicole Kidman), his confidant and costume designer (Judi Dench), an American fashion journalist (Kate Hudson), the whore from his youth (Fergie) and his mother (Sophia Loren).
Why Use The Number: Seriously though, Maury Yeston, who wrote the music and lyrics for the original musical, claims that his work paired with the material he took from 8 1/2n would make...NINE.
[youtube KQiCmO7lVoA]
$9.99
To Be Released: 11/25/2009
What's The Point: Godless stop-motion puppets live as horrendous abominations against religion, wondering why their lord and creator has forsaken them. Or--it's a slice of life film as shown through stop-motion where their eyes show no emotion except for water dripped onto their clay faces. Oh, and there's a book one of the characters reads that promises the meaning of life.
Why Use The Number: The book costs $9.99. And in the end, the meaning of life is to buy a ticket to the film, realize you overpaid, curse God and become a film critic.
[current 90029810]
District 9
To Be Released: 8/14/09
What's The Deal: Neill Blomkamp made one of the more impressive looking comparisons to racism with this pseudo-documentary about a South African journalist investigating the titular district, which is made up of humans and literal aliens who came to Earth seeking sanctuary--only to find themselves forced into labor and being stripped of their technology. Originally based on his short, Alive in Joburg.
Why Use The Number: Because Districts 1-8 were taken.
[youtube nfpQGJYCQNE]
9
To Be Released: n/a
What's The Deal: Like Ju-On, The Grudge and countless other Asian horror films with soaking wet young girls with long black hair--only this time it's Thai!
Why Use The Number: Some nonsense about visiting nine shrines to get nine blessings to have overtly loud scream-gags and a creepy looking hag-child knock over your water bowl.
So remember! If you're writing a script or making a short film, just say:
NEIN TO NINE.

Yesterday the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences released its short list of songs eligible to be nominated for a "Best Original Song" award.
There are SIXTY-THREE songs on this list. SIXTY-THREE. Out of that list members will vote and narrow it down to usually three to five actual nominees, announced on February 2. Here's the most important part of the rules governing eligibility:
To be eligible, a song must consist of words and music, both of which are original and written specifically for the film. A clearly audible, intelligible, substantive rendition of both lyric and melody must be used in the body of the film or as the first music cue in the end credits.
That doesn't really make clear whether Bob Dylan mumbling would disqualify himself.
Here are the SIXTY-THREE possible nominees, FIVE of which are from the Hannah Montana movie. We are semi-arbitrarily bolding the ones we're even mildly interested in:
“All Is Love” from “Where the Wild Things Are”
“Almost Over You” from “My One and Only”
“Almost There” from “The Princess and the Frog”
“AyAyAyAy” from “The Maid”
“Back to Tennessee” from “Hannah Montana The Movie”

“Dove of Peace” from “Bruno”
“Down in New Orleans” from “The Princess and the Frog”
“Fly Farm Blues” from “It Might Get Loud”
“Forget Me” from “I Love You, Beth Cooper”
“God Bless Us Everyone” from “Disney’s A Christmas Carol”
“Here” from “Shrink”
“Hideaway” from “Where the Wild Things Are”
“Hoedown Throwdown” from “Hannah Montana The Movie”
“I Bring What I Love” from “Youssou N’Dour: I Bring What I Love”
“I See You” from “Avatar”
“(I Want to) Come Home” from “Everybody’s Fine”
“If You’re Wondering” from “The Lightkeepers”
“Impossible Fantasy” from “Adventures of Power”
“Innocent Child” from “Skin”
“Invictus 9,000 Days” from “Invictus”
“Legendary” from “Tyson”
“Let Freedom Reign” from “Skin”
“Loin de Paname” from “Paris 36”
“Ma Belle Evangeline” from “The Princess and the Frog”

“When You Find Me” from “Adam”
“Winter” from “Brothers”
“The Word Is Love” from “Oy Vey! My Son Is Gay!”
“You Got Me Wrapped around Your Little Finger” from “An Education”
“You’ll Always Find Your Way Back Home” from “Hannah Montana The Movie”
“You’ve Been a Friend to Me” from “Old Dogs”
***Though artist information is not included in the list—I have NO idea why not, but it's not—"Possibility" from "The Twilight Saga: New Moon" is by none other than our own Embedded Tour Stop star Lykke Li.
Any other songs on here worth checking out? Drop me a note in comments and I'll add bold-faced type.

+ Take that, New Moon. Despite the Twilight sequel soundtrack prompting many a WTF-but-it's-actually-good, it was Karen O of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs who is starting to rack up awards season accolades. Her score for "Where the Wild Things Are" (with Carter Burwell) scored a Golden Globes nomination today and, due to a minor Miley Cyrus mess-up, Karen O and the Kids' "All Is Love" is now included in the Grammys' noms for best songs written for the screen. (There's no official video for this, but the fanvid above does a decent job of mixing clips from the trailer.)
+ The Globes' main difference from the Oscars—other than featuring drunken tables of nominees who tend to wander off during the show—is in its segregation of dramatic films and musical/comedy flicks. But they also don't have a home for documentary films, leaving the much-ballyhooed Michael Jackson tour doc "This It It" more likely to be on a ballot with "Nine." Except how apparently the Globe-keepers, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, didn't even entertain that possibility.
+ U2 picked up a Golden Globe nod for "Winter," a stripped down version of which appears in the movie "Brothers." It's oddly lacking in the cinematic vibe the original had:

“Be Italian,” sings Fergie in one of the scarce memorable moments of “Nine,” based in the 1982 musical by Arthur Kopit and Maury Yeston which was based on Federico Fellini’s masterpiece “8½.” It’s a plea that falls on deaf ears. “Nine” is not Italian enough. It lacks a charismatic central figure (Marcello Mastroianni in “ 8½,” Raúl Juliá and Antonio Banderas in the original stage production). It is not daring enough, not passionate enough. “Nine” is too bland. Worst yet, “Nine” feels like a photocopy of a photocopy of an original. Which, actually, it is.
