All Time Low is apparently recording a song for the soundtrack of Tim Burton's adaption of Alice In Wonderland. Song title is still to be confirmed so until I know I will leave it out the post. Any updates and or links will be posted here first if and when I get more information. All Time Low is an American pop punk band from Baltimore, Maryland, which formed in 2003. The band members are Alex Gaskarth (lead vocals, rhythm guitar), Jack Barakat (lead guitar, backing vocals), Zack Merrick (bass guitar, backing vocals), and Rian Dawson (drums, percussion).
According to Variety Johnny Depp is in talks to star with Angelina Jolie in “The Tourist,” Johnny Depp would play an American tourist drawn into a web of intrigue and danger by a female Interpol agent (Jolie) as she attempts to locate a criminal who was once her lover. Graham King’s GK Films is financing and distributing through his multi-picture output deal with Sony Pictures Entertainment which was due to start filming in February. Johnny was brought into the mix by King, with whom he has a close relationship, most recently collaborating on “The Rum Diary” and the Gore Verbinski-directed animated pic “Rango.”
The Tourist a remake of the french film "Anthony Zimmer" has recently went through some bumpy rides after “Avatar” star Sam Worthington exited along with director Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck, both over creative differences. But apparently directors are circling to take on this project, including Alfonso Cuaron. Here is the French Trailer for Anthony Zimmer.As you know Johnny is due to start filming Pirates 4 in April/May next year and if he does sign if anything will this delay Pirates 4? Then there is The Rum Diary which is due for release next year and Dark Shadows also due to start filming 2010 so the questions on my mind is does he really have time to squeeze all this in?

In a short but exclusive Interview Steve Weintraub from Collinder spoke with Jerry Bruckheimer about the status of Pirates Of The Caribbean "On Stranger Tides". Since no official spokeman has been able to confirm or deny the rumors that Johnny Depp is not doing Pirates 4 after Cooks exit there are some questions still on everyones mind is Johnny in or out. Although we are convinved it is still full steam ahead for the project this is for those who are still a little skeptical.
Steve Wientrub Reports: I decided to ask Mr. Bruckheimer what’s up with “Pirates of the Caribbean 4″. As you might have heard, a management shakeup recently happened at Disney and rumors have been flying that Johnny Depp might not do the film with former Chairman Dick Cook out of the picture. Since no one has been able to confirm or deny the rumor, with my limited time I decided to ask Mr. Bruckheimer three questions: I asked what’s up with the script, when are they going to shoot the film, and did the regime change cause any problems. He told me they’ve gotten the script, the management change will not affect the production, and he believes they’ll be filming next year. Of course things change along the way, but the way he spoke to me about the project, I believe the Black Pearl is going to be looking for the Fountain of Youth quite soon.
That's it folks and about as official as it is going to get and at least we have it from the producer himself.
Thanks to Steve Weintraub
Making Of sat down with Gilliam to learn more about the making of "The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus". “Imaginarium’s” initial concept came from the simple notion of bringing something from another time into present day. Gilliam thought that a “traveling theater” would be the perfect starting place. He then added the need to make a choice between good and not good and then good and evil. As Gilliam does in all his films he started mixing things together and out came a movie that includes themes of imagination, mortality, family, and more.
Thane Burnett, of SUN MEDIA recently Interviewed Jonathan Frid from The original TV Show Dark Shadows. The 85 year old actor now retired spoke about when he first took the role of Barnabas, he was relieved it didn’t immediately air around his home-turf of Hamilton. That meant his friends wouldn’t have to see it. “But suddenly, it took off,” he recalls. “And I was getting 5,000 pieces of (fan mail) every week.” said Frid.
Frid offers some words of wisdom to Johnny Depp “The key (to playing Barnabas) is telling lies with such finesse that the other characters in the story can’t see through them…but of course the audience can. “They are in on everything. Be sure to keep the two groups apart.”
He’s become more comfortable in finding things to like about his vampire but does admit to not really understanding the die-hard fans. And he has no real interest in a cameo in Depp’s Dark Shadows revival. Unless, he quickly adds: “I’m paid a good, hearty stipends.”
