Todd Haynes' new film, which will go into production soon, is about Bob Dylan - 6 different actors will be playing various aspects of Bob Dylan - four of these actors are already cast - there are Christian Bale, Richard Gere, Cate Blanchett and COLIN FARRELL!

It sounds like another Haynes' oddity that will prove to be mesmerizing.

From the IMDB:

As Irish actor Colin Farrell recovers from exhaustion, he's fighting off a fresh set of reports suggesting he was hospitalized after taking an overdose. The Alexander star's publicist announced yesterday he had entered a treatment centre suffering from exhaustion and dependency on prescription medication, which was prescribed to him after he sustained a back injury. But as Farrell takes time out, he's now been hit with reports that he was rushed to an emergency room in Uruguay on Friday after suffering an overdose. A radio station in the South American country reports that traces of marijuana, cocaine and an unidentified substance were found in his blood when he was treated. Farrell's publicist vehemently denies the reports.

Well, when it's become public that the reason you were passed over for James Bond is that the producers though you were "too sleazy" (as opposed to finding Jackman "too fey" and Ewan McGregor "too short"), you're probably in for a bumpy ride.

So...has anyone heard anything about THE NEW WORLD that doesn't include the word "yawn?"

Part of it was shot near where I live and I still yawned.

Well, I saw a trailer for it - and it does look interesting.

It's visual splendor. It's the only trailer I've seen this year that has pulled me in and made me think, "Oh, yes, I want to see that..." I wasn't knocked out by the script to DAYS OF HEAVEN, but the photography and the odd way Malick captures performance have lingered for years. I always fall into its spell. NEW WORLD looks to have that same kind of hypnotic appeal. Malick's films come along so infrequently I find myself celebrating at each fresh endeavor.

In the New York Times article in yesterday's paper on the tragic death of Nick Douglas, who was suspended from The Hollywood Foreign Press Association, there was a very interesting photo of Douglas and Colin Farrell.

During his suspension, Douglas, who was working for an entertainment magazine in Ireland, could no longer continue to write his column.

Douglas was suspended because he sold a photo of himself and Tom Selleck to a tabloid - and, then, that suspension was extended.

The Hollywood Press Association has become ever-vigilant about the "transgressions" of its members.

And Phillip Berk, the president of The Hollywood Foreign Press Association, is still denying that he grabbed Brendan Fraser's buttocks - even though he wrote a letter of apology to Mr. Fraser.

Well, The New York Times gave an excellent review to "The New World"!

Talk to some people some time who've had to deal with its members if you want some eye-opening remarks about this very peculiar and extremely suspect organization.

Of course, as I said in an earlier post, Nick Douglas was "suspended" from the Association for selling a photo of himself and Tom Selleck to a tabloid - and then lying about it - and then telling the truth! - but he was also suspended on "a lesser charge" - selling unopened cans of beer from a MGM reception (another member, who was a witness to "the theft", reported him).

But what really amazes me is that the President of the Association had his hand on Brendan Fraser's ass - or was that really some kind of "ghost hand" that Mr. Fraser was feeling back there?!

Nothing about the Hollywood Foreign Press Association surprises me.

Yes, it's true, the potentially exciting teaming of Colin Farrell and Jamie Foxx in the big-screen version of the popular TV series, "Miami Vice" will finally be "unveiled" sometime this very month.

Ken, with "Collateral", Michael Mann certainly enjoyed a renaissance, right?

Too bad, but Terence Malick's "The New World" failed at the box office in both of its versions and the recent Robert Towne film, "Ask The Dust", failed at the box office, too.

I was at a luncheon recently with some experts on Virginia history. Boy, did they have a lot to say about the New World.

None of it favorable.

My favorite, however, came from my closest friend, who said, "As a director, Malick's a great cinematographer."

Well, both versions of "The New World" got excellent reviews, but the movie-going public just wasn't interested in seeing the film.
