Sony announced a Special Edition DVD for Blue Thunder to be released 4/4/06. No word on what's going to be on there, but anything is better than the garbage release they put out in 1998 only full screen with no extras. Only later did they release a double-sided version. Even the VHS was released in a LBX version. It's an incredibly unpopular film, so it's surprising they would re-release it with extras it doesn't really deserve.

UK: Stella Artois film campaign gets GBP1m push
just-drinks.com
Interbrew UK has announced a GBP1m press advertising campaign for its Stella Artois Live Film promotion. The summer drive features three ads mixing everyday scenes with well-known characters and scenes from classic films. Each execution portrays a typically English scene, which has been "invaded" by characters, props and scenarios from well-known films. Each of the three executions, Town, Park and Beach, features more than 18 film references of varying degrees of subtlety. For example, Town is a picture of a typical street scene but incorporates images including three Minis (from The Italian Job), an American cab (from Taxi Driver) and three bowler hat-wearing "droogs" (from A Clockwork Orange).

21. Malcolm McDowell - Broke out with his innovative approach to Alex and his "droogies" in A Clockwork Orange, and soon devolved into a clichéd Brit-talkin' villain alongside Terence Stamp. Now he's alternately playing characters like a corporate boss (In Good Company) or a dance troupe leader (The Company) in what has become a welcome revival of McDowell. Horrorshow!

Maybe seeing OLM! in the theater is getting less rare? Let's hope so! This one also comes with a discussion.
Mostly, when people think musicals, they think only of glitzy, sanitized displays of cheerfulness like Singin' in the Rain. Westport Arts Center is trying to skew that knee-jerk perception in showing the 1973 British musical and black comedy, O Lucky Man! at the Garden Cinemas. In the film, a lucky salesman Mick Travis (played by Malcolm McDowell of A Clockwork Orange) sets off to find financial success. While it sounds perfectly nice, the film is a surrealist experiment put to screen, exploring everything from sexual deviance to sadistic medical research to the evils of capitalism. Songs, interspersed throughout, are by Alan Price of the Animals with memorable lines like "Poor people are poor people-they never get to see / Someone's got to win in the human race / If it isn't you, then it has to be me." Kooky and a bit deranged, the film is as free from traditional musical restraints as one can imagine. If anyone misses the finer points, Time Magazine film critic and Academy Award-nominated screenwriter Jay Cocks will be there to discuss just what Musicals Out of the Mainstream are all about.
Garden Cinemas, Isaac St., Norwalk, CT - Tuesday, Dec. 14, 2004 7 p.m. $20, $5 students. Complimentary popcorn with the movie and free glass of wine with your ticket stub before or after at Fat Cat Pie Company. 222-7070, www.westportartscenter.org

Robert Altman on why he did The Company
"It finally occurred to me that probably the things I should be doing are things that I don't know too much about. If I were in it for the money, I would have made M*A*S*H 3 and 4 and retired." 
Another quote on how the Rolling Stones never were going to do ACO.
Andrew Loog Oldham smiles and tells a story about how he convinced the world he owned the rights to A Clockwork Orange (he didn't) and how he was going to get the Stones to star in it. Belefast Telegraph

Alex makes yet another list and Peter O'Toole on Caligula
Alex was #68 in Hollywood's 100 Most Memorable Characters of All Time in the Sydney Herald Sun
"There's only one attitude to take as far as I'm concerned and that's to turn up and be a pro, always. Just do it. Whatever else is involved, it's a question of self-respect. I don't want to be pompous, you know, but whatever the circumstances, the profession should be honored. It's a difficult profession. You can starve at it. Not just be banished to bacon and beans, but really starve. And doing a piece that you thought was going to turn out well, and seeing it turn to dross - that's a kind of starvation, too." Peter O'Toole on Caligula 2004

Return of a star maker 
Andrew Eaton scotsman.com 
Years before Stanley Kubrick made A Clockwork Orange, Oldham was battling to get the film rights to Anthony Burgess's book - David Bailey was to direct, Andy Warhol to finance it, the Stones to play Alex and his droogs. Bailey, he says, claims Oldham "buggered the deal" by demanding a fee bigger than the entire budget. This, Oldham adds, was probably true.

The dark, hard eyes that once stared back at you from "A Clockwork Orange" are gone. Malcolm McDowell's blue eyes are softer now and even show fatherly affection when co-star Perizaad Zorbain is in the room. McDowell is presently in Goa filming for the movie "Exitz", a futuristic movie with a script written by Farooq Dhondy. He plays the role of a gaming magnate who falls in love with an Indian beauty queen and manipulates a young illegal immigrant to do his biding.

What has happened to the new Star Trek Generations DVD? Amazon and most big chains have pulled it. The release date was 9/7/04, but was recalled shortly after. The DVD is now scheduled for a September 28, 2004 release. Due to a typographical error on the "Star Trek Generations" Special Collector's Edition DVD packaging that inadvertently notes a teaser and theatrical trailer that are not on the DVD, the product has been recalled. This seems like a waste to remove two lines, but it may make it collectible since they will not include the trailers and will remove the lines from the package.

Yet another version of ACO 2004 is coming.
August 25, 2004. A Group of stagestruck teenagers will be living their own midsummer night's dream - when they take their royally endorsed show to a world famous festival. The 12 drama students from Campsmount School will take their performance of Shakespeare's comedy A Midsummer Night's Dream at the Edinburgh Festival later this month.
The celebrated group, which performed the play for the Prince of Wales earlier this year, is also set to stage an adaptation of A Clockwork Orange - the violent and controversial work by Anthony Burgess. Both performances will take place each day of the five day run at the Cabaret Voltaire, on Blair Street in the city. The teenagers will also take part in street theatre.
Sharon Francis-Burnett said: "We are all incredibly excited and can't wait to get there. The students were superb when they performed in the West End - this is another wonderful opportunity for them and I'm sure that they will embrace the new challenge with energy and enthusiasm."
Headteacher Peter Trimingham added: "I'm sure the students will benefit tremendously from the experience - not only will they be performing in front of festival-goers from far and wide but they will be rubbing shoulders with professional performers.
"The whole school community is behind the students. After the superb performance in London it is no surprise that a lot of parents and other members of the community are going to visit Edinburgh in the last week in August. It's certainly an experience I am looking forward to!"

Edmund M. DiGiulio, 76, Leader in Motion Picture Technology, Dies
By G. S. Bourdain
June 9, 2004 NY Times
Edmund M. DiGiulio, an influential force in motion picture technology who won several Academy Awards for his innovations in cinematography, died on Friday at his home in Malibu, Calif. He was 76. The cause was congestive heart failure, his family said.
Mr. DiGiulio (pronounced dee-JU-lee-oh) developed a reflex viewing system for the Mitchell Camera Corporation, where he worked after graduation from Columbia University in 1950 and a stint at I.B.M. The device earned him an Engineering and Scientific Award from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.
He also developed the System-35 Mark II camera with video assist and camera control for three-camera filming, which was used for "Stop the World, I Want to Get Off."
In 1968 Mr. DiGiulio founded a company named Cinema Products and developed the CP-16 and CP-16R, Mickey-Mouse-eared television news cameras that were seen worldwide perched on television news reporters' shoulders in the predigital era. The CP-16 had another moment of fame in "The Blair Witch Project."
Mr. DiGiulio also developed the Steadicam, a motion picture camera stabilization system worn by camera operators. He, the inventor Garrett Brown and the company's engineering staff won an Oscar for the system in 1978.
He worked for many years on special projects with the director Stanley Kubrick, starting with "A Clockwork Orange," and developed the ultra-high-speed lenses that Kubrick used for the candlelit scenes in "Barry Lyndon."
At the Oscar ceremonies in 2001 Mr. DiGiulio received the Gordon E. Sawyer Lifetime Achievement Award for technological advances.
He was a chairman of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences Scientific and Technical Committee for five terms.
Mr. DiGiulio is survived by his wife of 47 years, the former Louise Brown; a daughter, Amanda Richmond of Los Angeles; a sister, Armida Clare of Huntington, N.Y.; a brother, Arnold, of Los Angeles; and a granddaughter.

If you are a man caught reading a specific book in the UK you could win money. Possibly ACO will be chosen.
Guys caught reading in London might just win money for being caught in the act.
June 7, 2004
London (Reuters) - In a bid to lure men in Britain away from TV soccer games and into book shops, publisher Penguin Books will send out a sexy model to offer £1,000 ($1,837) prizes to males spotted reading a selected title.
The publicity ploy, launched Monday, aims to boost sales among men, who on average buy fewer books than women.
"It's to sex up the book industry, which probably needs it, but also to address the more serious issue that reading has fallen off the radar of younger men," said Neil Griffiths, author of Penguin-published "Betrayal in Naples."
A different title will be chosen each month.
At the same time, Penguin, a unit of Pearson Plc, released results of a poll in which 85 percent of women said a man could increase his chances of getting a date by talking about a favorite book.
By contrast, more than half the men polled said they believed that flattering a woman would suffice to impress her.
An accompanying Good Booking chart of 40 books recommends such lad-friendly Penguin titles as Anthony Burgess' violence-filled "A Clockwork Orange," Raymond Chandler's noir thriller "The Big Sleep" and Jack Kerouac's beat odyssey "On the Road."

Barbara did the make-up on ACO.
Barbara Daly 3/8/04 
"They said something like, `well, you certainly sound enthusiastic'. Models did their own make up in those days. There were a couple of make-up artists who were attached to the large make-up houses, like Arden, and occasionally someone from a salon would come onto a shoot to do a beauty treatment. But I was one of the first. There wasn't much money in it in those days. I just made enough to pay my rent and eat. It took about seven years to become properly established. I was more often out of work than in, but I gleaned an enormous amount of experience and knowledge."

Kubrick flick is best pic
By Sun Online Reporter 5/5/04
Stanley Kubrick's controversial film A Clockwork Orange today proved its enduring cult status as a poster for the smash hit was voted the best ever in a poll of movie fans. Kubrick withdrew his 1971 film - a nightmarish vision of Britain's youth culture - from UK circulation a year after it was released following its controversial reception.
The poster for the violent classic shows anti-hero Alex (Malcolm McDowell) holding up a dagger with a sinister sneer. The poster beat one for the 1975 Steven Spielberg thriller Jaws, which shows a shark heading towards a swimmer in the ocean, into second place. The poster for Francis Ford Coppola's Vietnam film Apocalypse Now, which depicts a blood red sunset, came third. The famous ET image, a lone bicycle flying through the sky, came fourth, followed by the Star Wars poster. The image for the 1961 classic Breakfast At Tiffany's, showing Audrey Hepburn in a black cocktail dress and smoking a cigarette, is the sixth favorite and the oldest film in the top 10. The poster for Donnie Darko came seventh, followed by that for The Shining, another Kubrick film, which shows Jack Nicholson's deranged face smiling through a beaten-down door. Trainspotting came ninth followed by Pulp Fiction at number 10.
The poll was carried out among Odeon staff in 97 cinemas across the country.

Another chance to see ACO in the theater if you live near Pittsburgh, PA.
Oaks announces late-night film series 
By Michael Machosky Tribune Review 5/14/04
For all the frustrated folks trying to market Pittsburgh to the wider world, here's a tip - Pittsburgh is a great place to be if you love movies. It's not New York or Hollywood, but the sheer variety of movies available every week is pretty good for flyover country. And one of the main reasons why is the Oaks Theater in Oakmont. The Oaks has just announced its "Moonlight Matinees" film series, featuring a different classic, should-be-a-classic, or never-will-be-a-classic-but-fun-anyway movie every weekend of the summer.
The fun isn't merely confined to the screen. For "Lost Skeleton of Cadavra," whoever finds the lost skeleton in his popcorn wins a deluxe chemistry set. One lucky ticket holder for "Pink Flamingos" wins a gift package of deodorant. And a lucky moviegoer at each screening of "A Clockwork Orange" will win two tickets to hear the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra perform Beethoven.
Saturday night shows are at midnight, and Sunday night shows are at 10 p.m. Tickets are $4.

I just found this MM Caligula quote in the news, not sure why this is coming up again except maybe for the 25th anniversary of the film.
"He (Guccione) shot all this hardcore footage two years after the film had been completed and then spliced it in. I mean, it was absurd, because the footage didn't even match much of the time. There would be a shot of me smiling, looking at what was supposed to be my horse or something, and then suddenly they'd cut to two lesbians making out. It was just awful. On the positive side, I got to work with Peter O'Toole, John Gielgud and Helen Mirren, but, needless to say, we were all pretty appalled by the final product."

Something is up. Dorian is being release as Pact With the Devil on DVD on February 17, 2004 in the US. Maybe they are changing the name to sneak it out there.
Here is a bit of Buzz on Hidalgo.
Mortensen learned to ride horses growing up in Argentina and refined his skills during the making of "Lord of the Rings." While making "Hidalgo," Mortensen became so fond of his equine co-star that he adopted the horse and now boards him near his Los Angeles home. If this film hits, Mortensen may graduate to undisputed A-list status by proving he can draw at the box office without any help from "The Lord of the Rings."

58. Malcolm McDowell. A couple weeks ago I saw an advance screening of The Company, Robert Altman's new flick about the Joffrey Ballet. While Neve Campbell's starring performance isn't bad, it's this veteran actor (and his ever-present scarf) who waltzes away with the movie. Bravo.

When Joffrey Ballet supporters gather at the company's Jan. 24 "Lady in Red" gala in Chicago - featuring the vocal stylings of Our Town's own socialite/cabaret chanteuse Shelley MacArthur - they'll have some nifty auction prizes to bid on. Goodies include a chance to sit for a Victor Skrebneski photo, dinner with Malcolm McDowell (star of the Joffrey's "The Company" film) and the chance for a child to have an onstage cameo in next Christmas' "Nutcracker Suite" performance by the Joffrey. The upcoming gala, being staged at the Palmer House Hilton's Red Lacquer ballroom, is being co-chaired by Debbie Beitler and Melissa Babcock.

Malcolm in Thailand? Unknown if he will be able to attend with the imminent birth of his child.
Big name stars due for film festival
Published on Jan 8, 2004
Hollywood stars such as Val Kilmer and Gong Li will be among the special guests at the 2004 Bangkok International Film Festival to be held in Bangkok late this month, organizers said yesterday.
The presence of some of the industry's top artists is expected to raise the profile of the festival, Tourism and Sports Minister Sontaya Kunplome said.
A total of 156 films from 52 countries - many that have already won international awards - will be featured during the event which is scheduled to run between January 22 and February 2, Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) governor Juthamas Siriwan said. The TAT is hosting the film festival for the second year.
The stars invited to the event include Oscar-winning actor Cuba Gooding Jr, director Oliver Stone, Val Kilmer, Malcolm McDowell, actress Maria Bello, Gong Li, Michelle Yeoh, Bai Ling, Leon Lai, and Christie Chung.
The film festival is intended to promote Thailand's potential as a cultural tourist destination, Sontaya said. Thailand is expected to earn about Bt5 billion this year from foreign film shoots in Thailand, a 500-per-cent increase on revenues for 2003, according to Sontaya. The event is expected to cost about Bt150 million, which includes preparations for a gala dinner catering to 1,000 guests, Juthamas said.

Here's the latest word about A Wedding Banquet, this could be because of Cordless.
Because of a movie-filming conflict, Malcolm McDowell won't be able to narrate the Joffrey Ballet's production of Frederick Ashton's "A Wedding Bouquet" next month at the Auditorium Theatre. McDowell, who starred with Neve Campbell in Robert Altman's "The Company," which is about the Joffrey Ballet, will be replaced by Nicholas Rudall for the Feb. 11-22 engagement.

Here's the first word on Malcolm's next film shooting in two months.
Malcolm McDowell Goes Cordless
Variety Friday, January 9, 2004
Malcolm McDowell will star in screenwriter Oren Moverman's directing debut Cordless, with Steve Buscemi and Fisher Stevens also signing on for appearances in the dark comedy, which has set a late-March start date in New York City.
The film is a tale of spiritual rebirth in contemporary New York, following the struggle of a Manhattan couple attempting to conceive a child in a building in which voyeurism and neighborly love are spinning out of control.
McDowell will play aging, charismatic Gotham gadfly Ezra, who holds sexual sway over everyone around him. Buscemi and his brother Michael Buscemi will play tenement landlords, while Stevens will cameo as a strip-club habitue. Other leads are still to be cast.
1/9/04
The Company is to open wider on Jan 23rd.
Malcolm's narration of The Wedding Bouquet in Chicago is to start on Feb 11.

Very sad news today. The legendary actor whom Malcolm worked with on screen more than anyone died last night. He is Sir Alan Bates and they both were in:
Royal Flash, The Collection, Britannia Hospital + St. Patrick the Irish Legend. He also appeared in Look Back in Anger in 1956, a role Malcolm would play in 1980.
Born 2/17/34 and died 12/28/03. He lost one of his sons in 1990 and his wife in 1992 and threw himself into acting to help ease the pain. He was knighted last year and was an extraordinary actor loved by many and will be missed by all.

The Los Angeles area gets the most screenings of The Company for Oscar buzz and so academy members can see it.
Aspen Filmfest's Academy Screenings presents six films: two a day Friday, Saturday and Sunday, Dec. 26-28. The series, at Harris Hall, continues with daily screenings of Oscar hopefuls through Jan. 2. "The Company," Friday, Dec. 26, 5:30 p.m.
Even though it features actual Joffrey dancers, "The Company" is presented as fiction. But in a three-and-a-half star review, Roger Ebert says there is an enormous autobiographical element to the film. In its view of the creative process, says Ebert, "The Company" mirrors Altman's own artistic struggles and vision.
The Company also played in Hawaii last month.
The Hawaii International Film Festival, presented by Louis Vuitton Hawaii, completed its 23rd-annual event this past Sunday 11/9/03
The festival kicked off with "The Company," Robert Altman's latest directorial effort making the festival rounds, to a packed house of about 1,200 people. A subtle look into the world of a fictional Chicago dance troupe based on the Joffrey Ballet, Altman employs his trademark blurring of narrative and documentary filmmaking by using real dancers from the company combined with actors like Neve Campbell, who masterfully performs her own moves. As is so often the case, Malcolm McDowell steals the show, this time with his biting portrayal of Alberto Antonelli, the troupe's eccentric founder and artistic director.

ACO is now a classic Sci-Fi film!? I always thought it was a black comedy.
A&E blasts off with the 50 best sci-fi films of all time. We polled 15 writers and hardcore sci-fi buffs to rank the best science fiction films ever made, and we were pleasantly surprised at how wide a spectrum of films made the list (and we were really surprised to find that Ridley Scott, a director whom not many of us associate with the form, directed our top two choices!).

"A Clockwork Orange" (1971, Stanley Kubrick): Whether or not it's stood the test of time and proved itself as prophetic as some other sci-fi, there's no denying the impact Kubrick's darkest work undeniably still carries. If Alex and his droogs sipping milk and carousing in the film's cathartic first 20 minutes doesn't stick with you for the rest of your life, you are immune to the unique powers of cinema.

Here is the exclusive story on why Dorian hasn't been officially released.
Dorian is a bit of a sore spot. It was potentially a really good movie, but Malcolm has never seen it. Malcolm was never paid for the performance or at least not fully paid. The producer, Luciano Lisi screwed him. It is not supposed to be released without the final payments being made, so the DVDs shouldn't be out. Malcolm enjoyed the making of the film, it was a small budget but the whole experience was ruined by Luciano. It has never happened to Malcolm in all of his career. It was a bad situation.

Here are two great recent promo shots of Malcolm from The Company.

An Academy Award for Malcolm?
Sony is advertising in the Daily Variety and The Hollywood Reporter getting behind Malcolm for an Academy Award best supporting actor nomination for The Company. They are using some great photos of Malcolm as Arpino.
Some film critics who have seen the film in advance are also listing Malcolm as a potential candidate for best supporting actor on their own.
Also the Devotchka saw The Company in Russia, ironically a month before it's US release date, and noted on the signs for the film it is already listing Malcolm HAS been nominated for Best Supporting Actor! They are jumping the gun a bit, but Malcolm is 30 years overdue since he wasn't even nominated on ACO or any other film for an Academy Award. His last nomination was a Golden Globe for ACO.

Malcolm and Kelley did have a big problem with American Airlines on November 21, but they are in the process of trying to work it out and do not want any further publicity at this time.

Two new books that cover ACO and Malcolm.
Costume Design (Focal Press) 
looks at what actors wear on screen. Interviews with costume designers chronicle the creation of elaborate get-ups in such films as "Dangerous Liaisons," "Bram Stoker's Dracula," "Batman," "The Cell" and "Velvet Goldmine," and costumes that became iconic images from "A Clockwork Orange," "Raiders of the Lost Ark," "Grease," "The Blues Brothers" and "Bonnie and Clyde."
The Nineties: When Surface was Depth

'Clockwork Orange killer' 
By Alastair Taylor 11/25/03 Sun UK
Brutal Peter Foster battered two of his live-in lovers to death 13 years apart, a court heard yesterday. He had an "unnatural interest" in violent cult movie A Clockwork Orange - and recited the Lord's Prayer backwards while dressed as the film's villain, it was said. Foster terrorized four other partners stretching back nearly 30 years, Hull Crown Court heard. The twice-wed fairground worker, 49, was arrested last December, accused of killing Linda Wardill, 45. He was said to have stamped on her stomach, splitting her intestine - then refused to let her go to hospital. Police reopened inquiries into the death of his girlfriend Linda Grimm, 38, in 1989. She was thought to have fallen and ruptured a kidney, but medics now believed she had been battered to death, the court heard. Foster, of Bridlington, East Yorks, also allegedly chained one partner to a radiator and tied another to a drainpipe. He forced a third to play Russian roulette - pretending the gun was loaded - and tied wire round the neck of a fourth, threatening to push the ends into an electric socket, it was claimed. Foster denies two murders, false imprisonment, assault and kidnap. The trial continues.

Here is another exclusive report from the set of Red Roses and Petrol:
"Red roses is very good. Malcolm is brilliant as is Max Beasley as his son. Everyone seems to really love it. It was a very low budget film, but it is amazing what happens when you have good actors and a good script. You could really believe Max as Malcolm's son, they look similar, it was very good casting. If you haven't seen it yet, I think you'll enjoy it. It is a different role for Malcolm as he plays a nice guy." - Big K

Palm D'Or starts series of classic cult movies
By Bruce Fessier, The Desert Sun, November 6th, 2003
"The Exorcist," "Cheech and Chong's Up In Smoke" and "Clerks" are just some of the films on tap for the Coachella Valley's first midnight movies series Fridays and Saturdays at the Cinémas Palm D'Or in Palm Desert.
The "Midnights On the Edge" series starts Friday with Stanley Kubrick's "Clockwork Orange," which theater co-owner Alise Benjamin calls "one of the top one or two classic cult movies of all time." Subsequent weekends will feature "Pink Floyd's The Wall" followed by "Scarface." Benjamin said her criteria for a midnight movie is it must "have some kind of cult following and also appeal to a rather broad demographic."
The Cinémas Palm D'Or is in Westfield Shoppingtown Palm Desert, Palm Springs CA. Information: 779-0730.

Sara (Griffith) lives on danger's edge every day as the courier for a ruthless black market dealer. Her boyfriend, Jack (Hugh Dancy - "Black Hawk Down"), is a young, American expatriate and petty thief who she's seduced into becoming her partner in crime. When Sarah leaves Paris on a "job," Jack meets and falls for a young American woman, Jenny (Cook), who's working in a Paris jewelry store. But when Jack discovers Sarah has been assaulted and robbed, he suddenly finds himself trapped in a treacherous love triangle. Co-starring Art Malik and Golden Globe nominee Malcolm McDowell (upcoming "Stroke of Genius," "A Clockwork Orange"), and directed by Eric Styles (STARZ! Pictures Relative "Values").

The character Malcolm played in Our Friends in the North was based on a real person who just died. You can read the part mentioning this below and the full article here.
Obituaries James Humphreys, Club Owner; Soho Baron and Scourge of the Met
Byline: Jane Fryer
When the police raided Soho's porn shops in the Sixties, they would call up Jimmy Humphreys and offer him the confiscated magazines. He would swing down to Scotland Yard, hand over the cash and fill up his Rolls-Royce. It seemed like a fair return on the GBP 3,000 he was pressing into various police palms each week.
At the time, he was one of London's foremost porn-shop and club owners. The inspiration for Malcolm McDowell's character Bennie Barratt in the TV drama, Our Friends In The North, he had scores of Metropolitan Police detectives on his payroll.

The Company is playing tonight in Virginia!
16th Virginia Film Festival www.vafilm.com
Sony Classics' The Company stars Neve Campbell (Scream, Wild Things, Party of Five), Malcolm McDowell (A Clockwork Orange) and the Joffrey Ballet of Chicago in a gritty look at the realities of daily life as a professional dancer. Campbell, an accomplished dancer who studied with the National Ballet of Canada before pursuing an acting career, plays a gifted ballerina poised to become a principal dancer. The film is a startlingly intimate pas de deux between Altman's fluid camerawork, the pulsating life force of ballet, and the richly textured behaviors of the dancers. It is a love letter to artists who work in this singularly difficult and universally expressive medium, to the people behind the scenes who make the performance possible, and to the art form of dance itself. Audiences at the Virginia Film Festival can see The Company at Culbreth Theatre on October 25, 7pm, a full two months ahead of its national theatrical release. The screening is a collaboration with the University of Virginia Council for the Arts, which has made creating a dance program one of its goals for strengthening the arts at the University, and the Campaign for Dance, an organization committed to advocacy of dance studies at the University.

This is the ultimate news for Stanley Kubrick fans! An exhibition of props and production items from all his films including ACO. It opens next year in Germany and is hoping to tour the world.
www.stanleykubrick.de
Stanley Kubrick is one of the most outstanding directors in film history. On March 30, 2004, for the first time worldwide, the Deutsches Filmmuseum and the Deutsches Architektur Museum in Frankfurt am Main open a major exhibition on his work.
In close co-operation with Christiane Kubrick and his long-standing executive producer, Jan Harlan, the inaccessible estate of the director is being catalogued. An archivist of the Deutsches Filmmuseum has been researching at the estate since April, 2003 at St. Albans, near London.
Already during the preparatory phase, the project is evoking great interest among the public. Actors who worked with Kubrick, for example, Nicole Kidman and Tom Cruise, and director colleagues like Sidney Pollack and Steven Spielberg, are supporting the exhibition. Warner Bros., the key holder of the copyrights, is the first co-operation partner.
Stanley Kubrick planned his film projects down to the minutest detail. Therefore, the primary material itself is extensive indeed: costumes, props, technical material, photographs, film and a yet uncharted number of written documents are part of his estate. The systematic archiving and cataloguing of these materials will take years and will bring to light new aspects and understanding of Kubrick. A representative part of the Kubrick legacy can be viewed from March 2004 in an exhibition area of more than 1,200 square meters in these two Frankfurt museums. The exhibition will then be on show at further locations in Germany and abroad. A retrospective season in the cinema of the Deutsches Filmmuseum, a catalogue, a concert and a symposium accompany the exhibition.

When Bob Altman tells you to do something, you bloody well do it. You don’t question the man. This is f ***ing ridiculous," he snaps. NWAnews 9/19/0310/2/03

He got a great performances out of his mother Sofia Loren, Mira Sorvino, Deborah U unger, Gérard Depardieu and Pete Postlethwaite.

Below is your exclusive first review from the set of Evilenko.
I think this movie is going to be major somehow. Marton Csokas is also starring in it with Malcolm. There is a scene between them that is so powerful, it will blow you away. I think it is Malcolms' best work in years. It ranks up there with ACO. It was filmed so beautifully like a Francis Bacon painting. The cast saw a rough cut of Evilenko the other night...it is amazing. Malcolm thinks it is the best thing he has done for the last 15, 20 years. It is mesmerizing. Just wait till you see it. - Big K.

It is "Between Strangers," written and directed by her son Edoardo Ponti, and bows on WE: Women's Entertainment Network come Oct. 5. This will be the first time the star and her son have worked together. (Edoardo at first never thought of working with his mother, but as he wrote this character, he incorporated more and more mama; at last it seemed only natural to offer Sophia the part. Loren, still a glorious natural wonder, says the role is "appropriate to my age and talent." )

Here's another new picture from The Company
Mr. A addressing the group
As well as a review - just the part about Malcolm.
Ryan has been entrusted by Mr. A (Malcolm McDowell) with a principal performance (the music segues into "My Funny Valentine," which is repeated throughout the film as Ryan's theme) at an outdoor show that she aces spectacularly despite a dramatic thunderstorm.
McDowell is hilariously imperative and impervious as the flamboyant director, addressing all as his 'babies,' admonishing them to eat only fish and salad. He is the king of his realm, doling out interrupted attentions to his underlings. - Laura Clifford
9/8/03
The times printed a large article that was done on the set of The Company yesterday. The real person that Malcolm is playing talks about that a bit.
9/7 NY Times - Robert Altman + Neve Campbell are quoted
9/7/03
The Company premiere is tomorrow and this is what Malcolm was up to right before it.
Malcolm and Kelley went to Chicago to meet at the Joffrey Ballet on Monday 9/1. It was for the rehearsal for the narration he is going to do there next year. The man in charge is a major ballet director from London and this was the only time he has free in his calendar to rehearse before the Feb. 2004 premiere.
9/6/03
A brand new picture from The Company!

Click here to read a recent interview from The Guardian with Mike Hodges. Malcolm also has a paragraph about him.
8/31/03
Two news bites.
Malcolm has done an interview for the French magazine Paris Match which should be out very soon. I can't find anything on their website since it is all in French, but if anyone in France can help, please do.
Stroke of Genius has added Jeremy Northam (who was in Gosford Park by Robert Altman who directed The Company) and Aidan Quinn 9who like Malcolm did an episode of Night Visions) to the cast.
8/30/03
TV Listings updated.
8/29/03
Stroke of Genius has begun filming this week and I added an article about it.

A rare chance to see Malcolm live next year.
Because of his role in The Company, Malcolm is going to be doing a narration for the Joffery ballet in Chicago in Feb 2004. He will be there live and in the flesh unless a big job arrives.
Claire Forlani and Dougie Henshall have joined the cast with Malcolm in Stroke of Genius. 
8/27/03
Two news bites.
Helen of Troy has not been scrapped, it is still in development. Musicals take a long time.
Malcolms' character in Stroke of Genius is O.B. Keeler.
8/26/03
Great news to all of of us looking for Malcolm's early TV roles from the 1960s like Z Cars and Dixon of Dock Green, hopefully all of them have been saved. This is from the imdb.
BBC Director-General Greg Dyke said Sunday that the public will soon be able to download any of the BBC's radio and TV programs from the Internet as part of a new service, the BBC Creative Archive. Speaking at the Edinburgh TV Festival, Dyke said, "Up until now this huge resource has remained locked up, inaccessible to the public because there hasn't been an effective mechanism for distribution. But the digital revolution and broadband are changing all that. For the first time there is an easy and affordable way of making this treasure trove of BBC content available to all."
8/25/03
Hidalgo has been pushed back from a 10/3/03 premiere to 3/5/04 because it is basically a horse movie and Seabiscuit is hot now and they don't want to flood the marketplace with another similar film and probably not do well at the box office. The star is also in LOTR and the next film will also be out at the end of the year. Check the Hidalgo for a picture of Malcolm from the film.
8/24/03
You can read the first mini review of The Company here.
Also the film will premiere in France on 11/12/03 over a month before it premieres in the US, most likely because of Altman's disdain for the US and his love of France.
8/23/03
Another upcoming Malcolm appearance.
The Robert Altman film the The Company is having a gala screening at the Toronto Film Festival on Monday, Sept. 8, 6:30 pm. Malcolm, Kelley and company are all going up to support Altman. The gala is on the night of the 8th. Malcolm and Kelley have already seen the final print and are very impressed with the film.

The exclusive news on where Malcolm is filming next is Scotland and Atlanta for a film called Stroke of Genius. Check the page for cast press release, news, summary.
8/21/03
Dorian has been found on VHS in the UK as "Pact with the Devil". The name was changed probably because it is a bootleg because I don't believe this has officially been released anywhere.
8/20/03
I'll Sleep When I'm Dead will have it's official UK premiere at the Edinburgh International Film Festival August 23, 2003 and then at the Toronto Film Festival (TIFF) on Sept 6. Malcolm will not be in Edinburgh and Toronto is only a possibility.

6/27/03
I'll Sleep When I'm Dead is being shown at the Moscow International Film Festival right now. The rumor was that Malcolm would attend the premiere since he is over there filming, but he didn't.
Here is a bit of a review from the festival:
Dan Fainaru in Moscow 25 June 2003
Dir: Mike Hodges. USA/UK. 2003. 103 mins
Midway between a psychological thriller and a tough action movie, with a touch of existential soul-searching but never really making up its mind which way to go, Mike Hodges' new film looks better than it actually is and promises much more than it actually delivers. This is another revenge binge from the author of the almost mythical Get Carter. But if, for a while, it seems ready to explode at any moment, when it finally does, it is with a fizzle rather than bang. Once a Cannes hopeful that ultimately landed in the Moscow competition, I'll Sleep When I'm Dead will have a hard time finding its way into a large theatrical release before hitting the inevitable home-video market.

Clockwork Qee! Yeah, I don't know either. These things are hugely popular in Japan. They are little plastic bears. I added the bear and the poster they made for it to the ACO Toys page.

Tempo was slated to be released this week on DVD, but now the word is that the release date for this video has not been finalized.
5/25/03
Good news! New ACO! Bad news! New ACO!
Malcolm mentioned to me last year that he was approached to record a DVD commentary track for ACO. Jan Harlan, Kubrick's brother-in-law and producer, has now confirmed he is working on a third collection of Kubrick DVDs with his short films and all kinds of extras for each film and his A Life in Pictures. This would be the fourth version of ACO released on DVD in the last 5 years which means more money out of your pocket if you already have a previous version as most of us do.
5/19/03
Malcolm arrived in the Ukraine on May 15, or Matrix 2 day in the US, to begin filming of Evilenko. I updated that page with a banner, history, notes and two quotes.

Here is a scan of the upcoming book of ACO essays I posted about on 4/1 below.
Also note they have been releasing all the Star Trek movies in collector's edition DVD sets. So far they are up to #4. We should see Malcolm's film (#7) by the end of the year. Hopefully it will have the deleted scenes he did, interviews, etc.
4/14/03
Filmstelle Zürich, the oldest Swiss student cinema, will show ACO on May 22. It will be an original 35mm print as part of their scandal provoking films series. Jan Harlan, Kubrick’s brother-in-law and assistant on ACO, will have a Q&A session after the screening. All the details can be found on Filmstelle4/11/03
My Devotchka - MM's biggest fan in Russia found out that Dorian has been released there!
As is the case with most things over there it is a bootleg of some sort. This means the film is finished and should see a real release this year. Check the Dorian page for small scans of the cover and the high praise for MM on the Russia box which also provides a short summary of the film.
4/1/03
A new book titled 'Stanley Kubrick's A Clockwork Orange' edited by Stuart Y. McDougal is coming out 5/03. Sounds like most of it is old news, but it is definitely worth a look.
Stanley Kubrick's 'A Clockwork Orange' brings together new and critically informed essays about one of the most powerful, important and controversial films ever made. Following an introduction that provides an overview of the film and its production history, a suite of essays examine the literary origins of the work, the nature of cinematic violence, questions of gender and the film's treatment of sexuality, and the difficulties of adapting an invented language ('nadsat') for the screen. This volume also includes two contemporary and conflicting reviews by Roger Hughes and Pauline Kael, a detailed glossary of 'nadsat' and stills from the film.

www.mondo-digital.com lists the if.... DVD release date as 10/14/03! Not set in stone, but gives you an idea and hope as to when it will be coming. Thanks to the Dr. for the info.
The release date for I'll Sleep When I'm Dead has been removed from the Paramount Site. It was 11/17/03. Since the film is finished it could be moved up especially if it is being shown at the Paris Film Festival. I added a banner to that page if interested.
3/20/03
Malcolm and his wife Kelley are attending the Paris Film Festival March 24 - April 1, 2003 where Malcolm will be the Jury President. The reason for this is that someone who runs it saw I'll Sleep When I am Dead and said it is the best film they have seen in five years. Most of the people who made the film or are in it will attend the festival and see the film for the first time including Clive Owen, Mike Hodges and the producers. The word is that in the biggest scene Malcolm forcibly rapes Jonathan Rhys-Meyers....ouch! Let's hope it isn't that graphic and is more implied than shown.
3/19/03
A film I first posted about five years ago is finally getting made!
It is called Evilenko and reunited Malcolm with Russia.
Thanks again to the Big K for the news.

The March 2003 issue of Razor magazine has a 16 page spread of actors recreating roles from most of Kubricks' films including ACO. If you hurry you can still find this issue on the newsstand. Here is the photo of Mark-Paul Gosselaar as Alex. The weird thing is that he says he favorite Kubrick film is Full Metal Jacket.

Another new roll and a great one! Two living legends portraying legendary roles.
The Chicago Sun-Times Newspaper reports that Malcolm McDowell has signed on to portray Sherlock Holmes in a big-budget movie. Here is the article from the paper: "...Sherlock Holmes is returning to the big screen. Malcolm McDowell, who recently filmed Robert Altman's "The Company" ballet flick here in Chicago, will portray the legendary British gumshoe in "The Baker Street Irregulars," with Christopher Lee playing Professor Moriarty, Holmes' enemy. The film will focus on the secret band of street urchins who dug up so many tidbits of information for Holmes' investigations. Filming will begin in Romania later this spring."
3/7/03
Malcolm for president! The festival is from March 24 - April 1, 2003.
Peter O'Toole, Rupert Everett and Malcolm McDowell will be among the British stars to attend this year's Paris film festival, in a year when the event is championing British cinema.
Clockwork Orange star McDowell has been chosen as this year's jury president, while O'Toole and Everett will be among the actors to present films.
Among the 100-plus films in the week-long festival, from 24 March, 14 will be features made in the UK, highlighted in a special dedicated section. The Paris film festival, now in its 18th year, has built a reputation on its commitment to showcasing movies that might otherwise not be seen in Europe. Jury president McDowell takes over from French actress Isabelle Adjani, who will act as honorary president.

Berkoff was in ACO and Barry Lyndon, so there should be some great stuff in there.
From: The Express February 17, 2003 by "Hickey" 
Steven Berkoff is taking a break from acting and directing to write a book about his showbiz chums, Hickey hears. The tome, a profile of some of the major "artists" he has worked with, is modestly entitled My Friend Stanley Kubrick And Others. "I'm taking some time off to do some writing, " Berkoff revealed at last week's Frida premiere. "The book will be about my experiences of working with the likes of Stanley Kubrick - who was indeed a friend. It should be quite revealing."

Another upcoming DVD.
I Spy will be released on DVD on March 11, 2003, a little over four months after it's theatrical release. Not a good sign. No word on extras yet, but I would guess some of those endless specials that were on TV would be included.

The Company is finished and a rough cut has been shown to the cast. My source said, "It is stunning visually and brilliant to look at."

Bad news about Helen of Troy.
The world premiere performances of Helen of Troy, originally set for March 20-23, 2003 at the Van Wezel Performing Arts Hall by the Sarasota Ballet in Florida have had to be postponed for this season. Scheduling conflicts of some of the prominent artists (De Warrens the choreographer, Brain Johnson the writer and Malcolm) involved in the exciting production have necessitated the postponement until at least November 2003. A new AC/DC album coming out next March is also probably reason for delays.
11/29/02
Next month you'll be able to read an interview that had remained unpublished for over 5 years!
Malcolm will be interviewed next month in issue 38 of Psychotronic Video www.psychotronicvideo.com. The author met him on the set of The Fairy King of Ar in South Africa. He didn't talk much about ACO, but he did comment on some of the films he doesn't usually talk about, like Light in the Jungle and Cyborg 3. The magazine should be sold at any major magazine seller.
11/15/02

Good news for ACO fans in the UK. ACO has finally come full circle. It is an unknown if this is a new documentary.

The official I Spy website has been updated with some cool features. Go to:
http://www.sonypictures.com/movies/ispy/
Click on 'Enter the site' - There are two games - The I spy email challenge + 3D rescue mission, also trivia to mobile phone/pictures, wallpapers, screensaver, trailer and more.
The email challenge is kind of silly. You 'build' one of four agents with certain fighting moves. Then you email a buddy and he builds a character and then they fight. They only thing is that you don't control the fighting - it is done by the computer.
The 3D game is like Doom/Quake except you just have to solve puzzles inside Gundars mansion to help Kelly Alex and escape. There are no weapons to fire or enemies. You'll need to download the latest version of shockwave to play. It is an OK game, nothing really new or exciting.
Click here for a screenshot when you win the game.
9/24/02
Good news if you live in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. On October 11th they will premiere some version of the ACO play. The article is with actress Laureate Carding and I did what I could to translate it.
Actually, there is a list of ex-actors from the Rio de Janeiro Center of Arts Orange tree who is acting in a remake of the play Orange Mechanica (ACO), based on the book written in 1962 by Anthony Burgess, whose story was immortalized in 1971 into the film by Stanley Kubrick. The premiere, scheduled for October 11 to run until January, she is making good use of the time until the play. “It is always a trade. In theater you learn what is old and what is current because I learn a good deal with the younger actors.”If you can read Brazilian Portuguese you can read the article here:

The man who green-lighted ACO at Warner Brothers has passed away. If not for him and his trust of Kubrick, we may never have had the masterpiece that is ACO.
Ex-Warner Bros. CEO Ted Ashley Dies
By KATE BERRY, Associated Press Writer
LOS ANGELES (AP) - When Ted Ashley took over Warner Bros. in 1969, it was a drab studio that had been losing money year after year. When he left 11 years later, it was a Hollywood powerhouse that had churned out such hits as "The Exorcist," "Superman," and "Dirty Harry." Ashley's legacy at Warner Bros. was remembered after he died Saturday in New York from acute leukemia. He was 80. Under Ashley, Warner Bros. became the much-emulated model of a successful studio. In the early 1970s, Ashley teamed with Frank Wells, who later became chief of Walt Disney Co., and John Calley, current chairman of Sony Pictures.
The studio released a laundry list of hits under their guidance, including "All the President's Men," "Blazing Saddles," Chariots Of Fire," "Dog Day Afternoon," "Deliverance," "Klute," "Oh, God!" "The Outlaw Josey Wales," "Superman," "Summer of '42," "Towering Inferno," and "What's Up Doc?" Under Ashley's direction, Warner Bros. also was responsible for the box office successes of Clint Eastwood, Barbra Streisand and the directorial ascendancy of Stanley Kubrick and "A Clockwork Orange." "The studio had been losing money year after year, and the first year we got there, I think the studio made $35 million, which was a lot of money," Calley said Sunday from Beverly Hills. Hardworking and low-key, Ashley thrived on nurturing talent.

Here is a little bit about The Company from the Chicago paper The Daily Southtown.
Robert Altman has been scouting Chicago as a possible site. The film is about a ballet company, and it will center on the Joffrey Ballet of Chicago, its dancers and choreographer Gerald Arpino, co-founder and artistic director. In making the film, Altman will go behind the scenes to film the Joffrey troupe in rehearsal and performance. Malcolm McDowell will play the part of Arpino.
Robert Altman is also making the rounds at Chicago's eateries. Recently, he was seen dining on fish at Hugo's Frog Bar with actress Neve Campbell and actor Malcolm McDowell. Just last week, the trio was seen eating lunch at Miller's Pub.

The good news doesn't stop - when it rains, it pours!
Warner Brothers no longer has the rights to O Lucky Man! This means the film should turn back over to the estate of Lindsay Anderson, which means a DVD and theatrical re-release can be put into motion as soon as the lawyers have sorted it out.
8/13/02
The news every Malcolm fan has been waiting to hear! No more need for petitions. Big thanks to Paul for the update.
if.... is finally going to be released on DVD by a new British company (not Paramount)
which means it is a new print!! Malcolm recorded his full film commentary yesterday and it is
terrific, according to David Sherwin, who is recording his on Thursday.

Click on the link below for info on the ballet company.
Malcolm has been cast as one of the leads in the new Bob Altman film The Company. Neve Campbell is also starring and the story is about the Joffrey Ballet in Chicago. The roll came directly from the night at Lincoln center when we all saw "Gangster No. 1". Malcolm is filming on the set right now! When he isn't filming he is playing a mean game of golf.

A new book 'Stanley Kubrick: A Life in Pictures' is coming out in October. The book, put out by his wife, is a companion to the awesome documentary of the same name released last year. It is guaranteed to contain tons of new pictures including ACO related shots behind the scenes.
Click here for a picture of the cover.
One of the great film directors of our time, Stanley Kubrick had a profound influence on motion pictures. He was a notoriously private man, rarely granting interviews. For the first time, his life will be portrayed in over 200 images from film, photographs, and the words and full-color paintings of Christiane Kubrick, his wife for over 42 years. Never before seen photographs offer a unique perspective on a man, his times, and his films-from his very first, Day of Flight (1950), through to his last and unrealized project, finished by Steven Spielberg, A.I. (2001). Stanley Kubrick: A Life in Pictures explores the many and varied aspects of its subject-the director, the producer, the photographer, the writer and, not least of all, the man himself.

This is a weird bit of ACO related news I have been meaning to post.
Actor Steven Berkoff, who played a constable in 'A Clockwork Orange' (the one who pushes down on Alex's nose after he is arrested and gets a nasty surprise), was set to perform his one-man show 'Shakespeare's Villains' in Ann Arbor on June 25, was deported from the US due to a "deficiency in his documentation". Berkoff violated visa regulations in 1997 by staying one day longer than he was supposed to.
Would someone tell the INS that a prestigious British film actor never committed any terrorist acts in the US? They should see the long September 11th poem he wrote on his site here.

Total Movie & Entertainment #7 May/June 2002 issue has a list of the top 20 hottest sex scenes in the movies. Here is what they said:
#5 - Caligula. "The original premise behind Caligula--the brainchild of Penthouse founder-publisher Bob Guccione--was to combine graphic sex and violence was artful, intelligence filmmaking. But somewhere along the line, despite Gore Vidal's screenplay and the star power of Malcolm McDowell, Helen Mirren, John Gielgud and Peter O'Toole, groundbreaking cinema got lost amidst gratuitous smut. When presented with a cut of a film, Guccione sensed this and decided to appease the raincoat crowd. So off he went with a camera and a couple Penthouse Pets. The result is some of the most bizarre and realistic sex ever captured on film--mainstream or otherwise. Women fellate midgets, the obese serve as orgy centerpieces and the aforementioned Pets romp from sex scene to sex scene. Art it ain't, but it's awfully mesmerizing."

Prophecy loses money, hopefully not delaying release of The Barber.
Prophecy Entertainment announces financial results for the third quarter
VANCOUVER - Prophecy Entertainment Inc. (CDNX: PEI - News) today announced the financial results for the three months ending March 31, 2002. The Company had delayed the announcement of these results to allow for a thorough review and re-evaluation of the Company's financial position and accounting policies.

As a result, the Company is posting a net loss $2.3 million for the three months ending March 31, 2002. The bulk of this loss is attributed to the analysis of the Company's Film Production Costs for Completed Projects, Film Properties under Development, Accounts Receivables and Deferred Distribution Costs that, in management's opinion, are not recoverable or recoupable.
Revenue for the period was $454,937. The Company continues to sell and collect revenue from royalty agreements on its completed projects, including its most recent film entitled The Barber starring Malcolm McDowell.
"The Company can now concentrate on implementing an appropriate restructuring and strategic action plan to move forward with producing and selling films", said John Curtis, Interim President.
Prophecy Entertainment Inc. is a producer and distributor of independent motion picture entertainment with a focus on commercially driven properties.

Confirmation of a Malcolm project that has seen little info about it.
Moonstone recently announced an alliance with horror director Tobe Hooper to collaborate on the dark comedy "Planning Lawrence Fankhauser's Death." The first picture under the deal is Robert Louis Stevenson's "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde," to be written and directed by Allan A. Goldstein. Goldstein most recently directed the thriller "Dorian," an adaptation of "The Portrait of Dorian Gray," starring Malcolm McDowell.
Because of this I started a page for Dorian - not much yet - cast, news + notes.

Here's some strange ACO related news.
Click here for live tour photo.
LONDON (Reuters) - Disheartened Kylie Minogue fans who missed out on tickets for her latest tour will be able to see one of her shows live via the web.
The webcast performance will be this Saturday from Manchester's Arena.
"We wanted to do it as a treat to those who can't see her because the tour completely sold out six months ago," said a spokeswoman for her management company.
The "Fever" European tour kicked-off last Friday in Cardiff and features remixes of old Kylie hits and new material from her "Fever" album.
Visuals for the show have been inspired by the worlds of "A Clockwork Orange", "Dr Who," "Star Trek," Bowie's "Diamond Dogs," and the New York underground dance scene of the 1980s.
Saturday's performance will be shown from 3:30 p.m. EDT at: www.msn.co.uk/kylie.

Now we have a date! On August 6, 2002 Time After Time will finally be released on DVD.
It will be presented in anamorphic widescreen and English 2.0 surround, with a new audio commentary by director Nicholas Meyer and actors Malcolm McDowell and David Warner, and the trailer.
So much for a big batch of extras like making of and deleted scenes. Too bad Mary Steenburgen wouldn't sit don't and do the commentary, that would've been interesting.

SARASOTA -- You wouldn't think that Brian Johnson, the raucous, charismatic lead singer of the rock group AC/DC, would connect with Robert de Warren, the reserved artistic director of the Sarasota Ballet. After all, Johnson belts out the sometimes-suggestive lyrics to songs like "Back in Black" and "Highway to Hell" in front of thousands of screaming fans. De Warren speaks softly in a "Masterpiece Theatre" British accent, listens to chamber music and only recently learned who Billy Joel was. Johnson is a T-shirt-and-jeans guy with black hair that tumbles out of his baseball cap. He loves his Porsche Boxster and his silver Harley-Davidson. De Warren favors country-club attire and drives a sturdy Cadillac de Ville with 150,000 miles on it.
But these polar opposites are friends and collaborators. Thursday, they announced plans for a lavish theatrical production that they hope will electrify Sarasota and then tour the nation.
The show is "Helen of Troy," a blend of song, dance and spectacle based on Greek mythology. The $1.2 million production will premiere in March at Sarasota's Van Wezel Performing Arts Hall.
Johnson wrote the music and lyrics with partner Brendan Healy, a British composer and actor. De Warren will choreograph and direct the production, which will feature Sarasota Ballet dancers as well as a stage full of actors, singers, acrobats and fire-eaters. Johnson said his friend, Malcolm McDowell, the star of such films as "A Clockwork Orange," will play the role of Zeus, the show's narrator.
"Helen of Troy" has been in the works for six years, said Johnson, who described it as a poignant and funny love story set against the Trojan War. "I'm interested in mythology and history, especially military history," he said. "I must admit that the only part of the 'Iliad' that I read was about the siege of Troy." A 54-year-old native of northern England, Johnson has the charm, wit and working-class accent of a Dickensian rogue. His interests have always extended far beyond rock. "I love musical theater, especially the classic stuff," he said. To prove it, during lunch at Mediterraneo restaurant, Johnson started singing "I'd do anything, for you, dear, anything," from "Oliver!," and then launched into "Shall We Dance?" from "The King and I." Johnson isn't crazy about more recent musicals, though. He and his wife, Brenda, saw "Cats" several years ago. "I couldn't wait to leave," he said. "It was puerile drivel. That's when I started thinking I may as well try to write a show. Then I went to see 'Grease' in New York, and it was friggin' drivel, too. That spurred me on more." "Helen of Troy" is a "Les Miserables"-style musical, with rousing anthems,
tender ballads and minimal dialogue. "It's meant to be pure entertainment on a grand scale," Johnson said. "It's full of songs you can go out singing. It's Gilbert & Sullivan meets . I dunno, George M. Cohan, maybe."
And how in the world did Johnson and de Warren meet? They are both residents of Sarasota's Bird Key, where they were introduced by mutual friends a couple of years ago. "I'd seen Robert's work with the Sarasota Ballet even before I met him, and I was impressed," said Johnson, who has lived in Sarasota for 10 years. "I told him about this project, and I thought he'd be the right guy to help pull it together. We've really developed a simpatico relationship, a level of trust and respect."
De Warren said he was overwhelmed by the power and beauty of Johnson's music for "Helen of Troy," and by the sophistication and humor in his lyrics. "Brian is a bright, fascinating fellow, and it's so exciting to be part of a venture like this," he said. De Warren, who says he's over 60 but won't be more precise, led ballet companies in England, Iran and Italy before coming to Sarasota in 1994. He says he has become an AC/DC fan since meeting Johnson. "I went to their concert in Madison Square Garden last year, and it was amazing and so theatrical," he said.
AC/DC was founded in Australia in the early 1970s. Johnson joined the group in 1980. The band, among the top-selling rock groups in history, still tours regularly. "I still love performing, and I'll keep doing it until I become a parody of myself," Johnson said, laughing.
Nearly $800,000 of the $1.2 million budget for "Helen of Troy" has been raised from local and out-of-state contributors and investors, according to de Warren and Johnson. After seven performances at the Van Wezel, the show will tour Florida and then around the country, they said.
Another of their Bird Key neighbors, talk-show host Jerry Springer, may be interested in playing Zeus in "Helen of Troy" at some point. "Jerry and I have talked about it," Johnson said. "He just did a role in 'The Rocky Horror Picture Show' in New York, and did great."
Johnson hopes his head-banging AC/DC fans will take a chance on "Helen of Troy." "It's just me trying something new. I hate doing the same thing. That's why I have four cars, so I can drive a different one every day." And he'd be thrilled if "Helen of Troy" lands on Broadway, and critics hail
him as the rock-era's answer to Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein. "If that happened," he said, "I'd be so happy, there would have to be two of me to contain all my joy."

Another science-fiction series cast off by the broadcast networks has made its way to the Sci Fi Channel. The cable network has picked up all 13 episodes of "Night Visions," which ran briefly on FOX last summer, and will air them as part of its Friday lineup beginning June 14. The series, created by Dan Angel and Billy Brown ("The X-Files," "Goosebumps") and hosted by musician/actor/spoken-word artist Henry Rollins, is a "Twilight Zone" -like anthology of stories that deals in horror and the supernatural. Each hourlong episode features two stories. In addition to the shows that ran on FOX in 2001, three episodes that never made it to the airwaves will debut on Sci Fi. Two of those, featuring Thora Birch ("Ghost World" ) and Malcolm McDowell ("A Clockwork Orange" ), will be shown back-to-back and billed as a Sci Fi original movie. "Night Visions" also boasts appearances by Bridget Fonda, Bill Pullman, Samantha Mathis, Philip Baker Hall, Natasha Lyonne, Joshua Jackson and Sherilyn Fenn, along with many others. Joe Dante ("Gremlins" ) and Tobe Hooper ("The Texas Chainsaw Massacre" ) are among the directors of each installment.

Here is some hopeful news about a Time After Time DVD release from dvdjournal.com.
Dave went digging around Warner's online press database and found actual DVD boxcover art for Nicholas Meyer's 1979 Time After Time starring Malcolm McDowell, Mary Steenburgen, and David Warner — a disc we suggested yesterday that the folks at Warner are likely to release this year. There are no specs or date announced, but the fact that there is a box cover shows that the studio has not forgotten about this fan-favorite. Additionally, we received this letter yesterday from our pal Dan Duvall in L.A.:I enjoyed a screening of Time After Time at Hollywood's Egyptian Theatre in June of 2001. Mr. McDowell was there for a Q&A session with the audience, but the biggest surprise was a "video greeting" recording just for the event by Mary Steenburgen! McDowell had actually invited her to be there in person, but she couldn't make it. Please make Warner Home Video aware that the Steenburgen greeting exists: if she's willing to release the rights, it'd make for a cool DVD supplement.

At the end of Part 2 of Firestarter they announced that the mini series will be released on DVD and VHS May 28. Interestingly is the pictures of the box read "Firestarter 2 - Rekindled".

In Camera Journal #1 David Sherwin mentions he is adapting his book 'Going Mad in Hollywood and life with Lindsay Anderson' into a film. Malcolm will play Lindsay and Paul Bettany (from Gangster No. 1) will play Sherwin. I wanted to find out more and here it is. It is true. The film is still in development and it hasn't yet been given the green light to start shooting. So right now anything could happen. If it does this could be an Oscar caliber role for Malcolm.
I set up a page for Going Mad in Hollywood with all the information so far.

Press Release
19.12.01
For immediate release
If…. [UK 1968]Dir Lindsay Anderson, Starring Malcolm McDowell, David Wood and Richard Warwick
111 mins, colour and b/w, Cert 15
Opens 1 March 2002 at Metro Cinema, & Clapham Picture House, London and at selected cinemas nationwide from 8 March 2002  
As critic, ‘Free Cinema’ co-founder and acclaimed feature film director, Lindsay Anderson was one of Britain’s greatest cineastes and one of the most radical and outspoken voices in contemporary filmmaking. If…. (1968) is undoubtedly his finest achievement, expertly mixing everyday realism with the surrealism of Vigo and Bunuel and a very British sense of social satire. Set in an oppressive public school, the film tells the story of three seniors who refuse to conform to the outdated rules and regulations of the college that governs their lives, and fight back against their repressive right-wing teachers. Anderson’s poetic vision and anti-authoritarian message with the school as a metaphor for contemporary society fed into the social and political climate of 1968, touching a nerve with the aspiring revolutionary youth and inspiring a generation of young British rebels. The film won the Palme d’Or at Cannes in 1969 and launched the careers of scriptwriter David Sherwin and cameraman turned cinematographer/director Chris Menges; and made a star of Malcolm McDowell, here in his first role as the rebel against the system. Sherwin and McDowell were reunited with Anderson on O Lucky Man! (1973) and Britannia Hospital (1982) to form the informal ‘state of the nation’ Mick Travis trilogy.   Bold, on-the-edge and unrepentantly provocative If…. is a truly original vision which cemented Anderson’s place in British cinema history, and inspired a young generation of filmmakers and artists to develop a style and attitude which challenged the aesthetics and politics of the establishment. Almost thirty-five years on, with David Sherwin’s autobiographical account of his collaboration with Anderson, Going Mad in Hollywood, (currently in development); the time is ripe for a reinterpretation of Anderson’s explosive tale. In association with Accenture, If…. is being brought back to the big screen in March 2002, to inspire a new generation of young British rebels, seeking an alternative to the ‘School Disco’ and ‘Friends reunited’ phenomena.  For further information on the release and interviews please contact: Sarah Bemand at the bfi on 020 7957 4740 or email sarah.bemand@bfi.org.uk

The distributor told me, "We bought the DVD master from Film Four so the film is the same, as is the commentary track. We did new menus, split screen neo-Richard Lester style."
The package is also different. Check the Gangster No.1 page for front and back scans.

Cross Creek is coming out on DVD 2/19 from Anchor Bay. This is one of Malcolm's smallest rolls, just a cameo really, but it has been out of print for a long time. This is certainly not one of my favorite of his movies. I wonder if Mary will talk about Malcolm in the featurette.

Malcolm will be in a major big budget film as, you guessed it, the villain. It is a remake of the 1960s TV show I Spy. If the film is done well it could be the biggest grossing film he has ever been in as well as opening him up to a whole new audience. Or it could be another Magoo...

Fantasy Island for real - no Malcolm
"Fantasy Island" Gets Real
Yes, da plane might be making another stop on Fantasy Island. But this time things might be a little more real.
NBC is planning to bring back the Aaron Spelling-ABC schlock classic as a reality series. Peacock executives have given the green light to a nonfiction pilot featuring real-life guests pursuing their dreams in vignettes that range from romance to adventure.
Executive producer Danica Krislovich says the show will not have a prize element à la Survivor but will instead be an amalgam of the CBS hit along with Fox's Temptation Island and the WB's Popstars, with a twist straight from the old show.
"There's no elimination process and there's no game to it. This is not formulaic," Krislovich tells E! Online.
Instead, staying true to the original series, visitors will be flown out on "da plane" for a stay at a yet to be determined tropical resort. Krislovich says she imagines several unscripted stories over the course of one or possibly even several episodes. And like its predecessor, the reality version won't necessarily guarantee a happy ending.
"Per episode, there'll be one to three fantasies," says Krislovich. "Storylines may intersect or not. Whether it's someone trying to overcome a fear...looking for a soulmate [or] bridge a rift between a father or a sibling, what will determine the format will be going behind the scenes and researching their lives."
One such story she's considering is helping someone who dreams of being a private eye solve a case. Another story may feature a love triangle between a husband, wife and mistress or maybe a soldier trying out to be a Navy SEAL who, unfortunately, didn't make it through Hell Week.
"There will also be several twists and turns and a beginning, middle and an end," added Krislovich who is busy coming up with several workable scenarios.
Producers acknowledged they are searching for a Mr. Roarke-style host, as well as a suitable sidekick to take the place of Tattoo, originally played by the late Hervé Villechaize, who committed suicide in 1993.
There's also no word on whether Ricardo Montalban will be returning as either the white-suited wishmaster or in some other capacity. Krislovich says she and NBC are considering a wide range of talent, but she's open to the idea of bringing back the 80-year-old actor.
Although Montalban was unavailable for comment Tuesday, he once said that he'd love to reprise the role despite debilitating back surgery.
"I would have to work with a walker or a wheelchair, which would be kind of more mysterious," Montalban told TV Guide in 1998. "With this character, Roarke, I think it wouldn't be too bad. He's guiding the whole thing with his mind, anyway, not with his body. So I could do it."
This will be the third go-round for Fantasy Island. After buying the rights to the show from Spelling, Columbia TriStar television launched a remake of Fantasy in 1998, featuring British thespian Malcolm McDowell as Mr. Roarke.

On 10/8 on the Mark and Brian Radio Show in LA this trivia question was asked that everyone here should know.
Q: Critics have marveled at the irony of the song choice in this classic movie scene when, in fact, it was never planned. Because it was the only song this actor could think of singing, the director stopped filming in order to get the rights. What's the film? Who's the actor? What is the song?
A: Highlight the text -> A Clockwork Orange, Malcolm McDowell, "Singin' In The Rain"

Coming in September 2001, Kubrick: The Definitive Edition
If Stanley Kubrick had made only 2001: A Space Odyssey or Dr. Strangelove, his cinematic legacy would have been assured. But from his first feature film, Fear and Desire, to the posthumously released Eyes Wide Shut, Kubrick created an accomplished body of work unique in its scope, diversity, and artistry, and by turns both lauded and controversial.
In this newly revised and definitive edition of his now classic study, film critic Michel Ciment provides an insightful examination of Kubrick's thirteen films -- including such favorites as Lolita, A Clockwork Orange, and Full Metal Jacket -- alongside an assemblage of more than four hundred photographs that form a complementary photo essay. Rounding out this unique work are a short biography of Kubrick; interviews with the director, as well as cast and crew members, including Malcolm McDowell, Shelley Duvall, and Jack Nicholson; and a detailed filmography and bibliography.
Meshed with masterful integrity, the book's text and illustrations pay homage to one of the most visionary, original, and demanding filmmakers of our time.

The modern day Charlie, played by Marguerite Moreau ("Queen of the Damned" ), is tired of running from the government that created her. As she searches for answers to explain her psychic fire-starting powers, Charlie runs into Rainbird (Malcolm McDowell), a sociopathic government agent who wants to control her. Danny Nucci ("Some of My Best Friends") and Dennis Hopper also star. The four-hour miniseries, written by Philip Eisner ("Event Horizon" ), is slated to air in December. Robert Iscove directed the project.

Stanley Kubrick: A Life in Pictures - a documentary about the life of the late filmmaker Stanley Kubrick - will be given a benefit screening on July 8 in Ojai, Calif., at a fundraiser for the Ojai Film Festival. The documentary, produced and directed by Kubrick's brother-in-law, Jan Harlan, was made in cooperation with Kubrick's widow, Christiane Kubrick, and includes rare personal film footage and family photographs. It is narrated by Tom Cruise, who starred with Nicole Kidman in Kubrick's last film, "Eyes Wide Shut." Harlan will take part in a panel discussion and question-and-answer session after the screening with actor Malcolm McDowell, who starred in Kubrick's 1971 movie, "A Clockwork Orange." The Ojai festival will kick off Nov. 8 with a screening of Kubrick's 1968 Sci-Fi classic, "2001: A Space Odyssey."

UK TV Finally Gets 'Clockwork Orange' Sun, Jun 17, 2001 02:50 PM PDT
LOS ANGELES (Zap2it.com) - After almost 30 years, UK TV viewers will have a chance to see Stanley Kubrick's classic "A Clockwork Orange." The film, which was pulled from UK distribution by Kubrick after the director received threats and hate mail, returned to UK theaters uncut in March following the 1999 death of Kubrick.
The film, which contains some graphic instances of violence including a gang rape and mugging, will premiere July 4 on the pay-per-view movie service Sky Box Office, according to the BBC. The film will not be edited, having received an "18 certificate" rating from British Board of Film Classification.
Malcolm McDowell starred in the film, which was based on the novel by Anthony Burgess. It has been widely available in the United States and across the world since its release, but was not seen in the UK legally for over 25 years at Kubrick's request. It was rereleased last week on DVD and video as part of a new comprehensive box set of Kubrick's work.

I read on a Polish website (which means I didn't understand much) that they are making a movie of Neuromancer based on William Gibson's 1984 cyberpunk classic.

Now a new employer has recruited him for a last-chance run against an unthinkably powerful artificial intelligence. With a mirror-eyed girl street-samurai riding shotgun, he's ready for the silicon-quick.
The cast was announced includes: Malcolm McDowell, Christopher Walken, John Voight Michael Caine and Donald Sutherland. All big names!

Thanks to Catlady2001 for mentioning it.
The Surgeon DVD is the same as before - just in a crappy new package. What a scam.

Good news The Surgeon has gone out of print!! Bad news it is back in a new format...There is a new release of the DVD entitled Gold Series, Collector's Edition. I have no idea what, if anything extra is on it.

If you want the documentary on DVD you'll have to buy the 8 disc box set. It will also be shown on TV.
Debuting exclusively in a special Stanley Kubrick eight-title gift set -- having had its premiere showing at the prestigious Berlin Film Festival February 17 -- is Stanley Kubrick: A Life in Pictures, a powerful new 2 hour and 20 minute documentary, narrated by Tom Cruise. The documentary was produced and directed by Jan Harlan, longtime Kubrick associate who embarked on this exceptional project with other Kubrick filmmakers -- editor Melanie Viner Cuneo, associate producer Anthony Frewin and camera/soundman Manuel Harlan.
The first full-length documentary made with the Kubrick family's co-operation presents a never-before-seen, revealing portrait of Kubrick, sometimes in his own words, at work and with his family. Christiane Kubrick, the director's wife of more than 42 years, only recently made the film footage and family photographs available. Among the long list of actors, friends and colleagues paying tribute are Woody Allen, Sir Arthur C. Clarke, Shelley Duvall, Tom Cruise, Nicole Kidman, Christiane Kubrick, Paul Mazursky, Malcolm McDowell, Matthew Modine, Jack Nicholson, Alan Parker, Sydney Pollack, Richard Schickel, Martin Scorsese, Steven Spielberg, Douglas Trumbull and Sir Peter Ustinov
The documentary couldn't be shown at the Bronx salute, because The Screening Room's retrospective doesn't count as a "Festival". It will be shown at the Venice Film Festival this year and also will be on TV in June.

Coming Soon ! I bet the poster concepts were from Phil Castle as seen at his exhibition.

Additionally a series of never before seen key art templates (previously rejected art concepts for the poster design) as a bonus. There will be a poster offer inside the set. Retail $59.95

Stanley Kubrick restrospective held as part of Bronx walk of fame celebration. 
Salute to Legendary Bronx-Born Director Begins May 11 at The Screening Room
The Screening Room is pleased to join Bronx Borough President Fernando Ferrer and major sponsor Verizon in honoring New York native Stanley Kubrick as he is inducted posthumously into the Bronx Walk of Fame with a two-week retrospective of his films beginning May 11. An exacting visionary whose canon of work has made him one of the most influential directors of the past century, Stanley Kubrick the man remains one of the most enigmatic and provocative figures in cinematic history.
The retrospective seeks to shed light on what has kept his name in the spotlight by showcasing eleven of Kubrick's masterworks, from his earliest features (KILLER'S KISS, 1956; THE KILLING, 1957), to his final film (EYES WIDE SHUT, 1999). As an exciting addition, Kubrick's very first film, the very rare short DAY OF THE FIGHT (1951), will be screened, courtesy of the Kubrick estate, and the director's daughter, Katharina Kubrick-Hobbs, will be present at select screenings on Thursday, May 17 and Wednesday, May 23 to participate in Q&A's about her famous father.
Stanley Kubrick will be inducted into the Bronx Walk of Fame as part of the Bronx Week 2001 celebration, entitled "Yes, the Bronx!", on Sunday, May 20 at 11:30 a.m. at 161st Street and the Grand Concourse. Also inducted will be actors Burt Young and Diahann Carroll; Mets great Ed Kranepool; award-winning author E.L. Doctorow; Good Day NY co-hosts Lyn Brown & Jim Ryan; KISS lead guitarist Ace Frehley; hip hop artist KRS-ONE; Latin salsero Johnny Pacheco and U.S. Secretary of State Colin Powell. The induction ceremony is the climax of Bronx Week 2001 which includes the Borough Cup Challenge with the U.S. Sailing Association at SUNY Maritime College on May 13, Youth and Education Day on May 15, Arts and Culture Day on May 16, Bike to Work and Health Day on May 17, Tourism Day on May 18 and Bronx Green-Up Day on May 19.

Archerd: Sophia Loren works with son on movie
By Army Archerd, Daily Variety Senior Columnist
HOLLYWOOD (Variety) - Sophia Loren celebrates the start of her 100th film, ``Between Strangers,'' June 4 in Toronto -- working for her son, Edoardo Ponti, who's making his feature directorial debut (It's also his screenplay.)
I spoke to young (28) Ponti in Toronto where he is readying the start and asked how he would feel directing the Oscar (2) winner -- his mother!
``I feel so grateful to work with such a magnificent actress -- and person. We had been rehearsing a couple of weeks in L.A., and it seemed so natural to be working with her. I look forward to continuing on the set.''
Sophia's scenes will be with Gerard Depardieu and Pete Postlethwaite. And no, there are no torrid love scenes with either, he laughingly assured me. The pic involves the stories of three generations of women who confront their past. The cast also includes Oscar winner Mira Sorvino, Deborah Kara Unger, Malcolm McDowell, Klaus Maria Brandauer and Wendy Crewson.
I also asked if his father, Carlo Ponti, is involved in the production. The answer, he said laughingly, ``He is being my father -- and my friend.''
The producers are Gabriella Martinelli, Elda Ferri and Mario Cotone. The pic is Italian-Canadian financed and will be sold globally in Cannes by Martinelli starting next week. Edoardo says he feels ``blessed'' to have Martinelli as producer: ``She has taught me so much.''
Edoardo's brother Carlo Ponti, Jr., 32, the resident conductor of the San Bernardino Symph., is not doing the music. That credit will go to Bigniew Preisner, who collaborated with young Ponti on ``Requiem For My Friend,'' a live musical/visual tribute to Kieslowski and on ``Live,'' a short premiered at the Venice fest.
``Between Strangers'' is being filmed entirely in Toronto, ''and unlike 95% of the American movies shot here, we are shooting Toronto -- for Toronto. And this will be an effects-free movie!''

From S - "You probably know that Malcolm McDowell is filming his latest movie in our city of Revelstoke, British Columbia, Canada. This has brought quite a lot of excitement to our peaceful little tourist town of approximately 8,000 people. He is starring as "Dexter the barber" in a mystery thriller. According to our local newspaper, the filming will end on May 6th. I hope to get a glimpse of this fine actor. I'm sure he will enjoy his stay here."

Documentary brings Kubrick into focus
Stanley Kubrick -- A Life in Pictures (Documentary, color, no rating, 2:21)
By David Stratton
BERLIN (Variety) - Jan Harlan, brother-in-law of the late Stanley Kubrick, has come up with what is, for the time being at least, the definitive documentary on the mercurial, immensely gifted, challenging and usually controversial filmmaker.
With full cooperation from Kubrick's family, friends and collaborators, Harlan portrays him as a devoted family man who, though a lifelong New Yorker, lived for 40 years in Britain and whose complete perfectionism gave him the reputation for being difficult, unreachable or, in the words of one British tabloid, ``barking mad.''

There was a dark side to Kubrick. Malcolm McDowell rather touchingly describes his friendship with the director when he starred for him in ``A Clockwork Orange'' but recounts that after the film was completed, Kubrick rejected McDowell's attempts to continue the friendship on a permanent basis. Shelley Duvall, who bore the brunt of the director's anger at times during production of ``The Shining'' admits that ``he could do some pretty cruel things.'' And even his great supporter, Jack Nicholson, admits that ``he could be brutal.''
A Warner Bros. release of a Warner Home Video production. Produced by Jan Harlan.

Oh, Magoo you've done it again. You can rent "Mr. Magoo" this week, do so at your own risk.
Also the AFI listed ACO as #46 in the Top 100 films of all time last week, should be higher, much higher.

Italy softening on 'Clockwork'
ROME -- An Italian court has changed the age rating for "A Clockwork Orange" from "no one under 18 admitted" to "no one under 14 admitted." The loosened rating amounts to a victory for Warner Bros., the distributor of Stanley Kubrick's violent classic, by allowing a wider youth audience to view the film. Paolo Ferrari, managing director of Warner Bros.' Italian division, said Thursday it has won the legal battle it started almost one year ago in an effort to show a reissue of Kubrick's 1971 film to today's Italian teenagers. "More than 25 years have gone by. Today's kids are much better equipped with the tools necessary to understand the film and not be influenced by it," said Ferrari. In May, Warner Bros. will release a restored version of "A
Clockwork Orange" on some 100 Italian screens. The lowered age rating also makes the film, which stars Malcolm McDowell, suitable for TV viewing in Italy.

April 2
Malcolm was on Tom Synder last night and he confirmed that he would be flying to Hawaii today to begin filming "Fantasy Island". Looks like it will be ready for the fall lineup! I'll transcribe the whole interview in the next week or so.

BIG NEWS!! Maybe your only chance to see a BRAND NEW print of ACO back on the big screen! It's WBs 75th Anniversary and to celebrate they put together the "Festival of Classics", their greatest films from the 30s to the 90s and ACO is one of them. Restored color, improved sound. I am extremely excited at a chance to see the original version of ACO. I won't miss it and neither should you if you live in the US or Canadat. Also for Kubrick fans, "The Shining" and "Full Metal Jacket" are included. Here are the dates and locations:
DATE CITY THEATRE ADDRESS
7/3/98 Miami AMC Coco Walk 3015 Grand Ave. #322, Coconut Grove, FL 33133
7/10/98 Milwaukee Landmark Oriental 2230 N. Farwell Ave., Milwaukee, WI 53202

Educational Malcolm? Not quite. Malcolm did another guest voice on the educational show "The Magic School Bus". In the episode - "MSB Gets Programmed". One student programs the schools' new computer to do the morning tasks. Ring the bell, make announcements, raise the flag and water the lawns. The only problem is the kid set them to go off every minute instead of every day. Malcolm plays Mr. McClean the school custodian with a Scottish accent. Out of 26 minutes he is only in it for about a minute to provide comic relief. He gets chased by the sprinklers and raised up the flag pole.

February 13

I finally solved the "Batman" mystery. It was falsely reported by imdb.com (who else?) that Malcolm was in the original Batman 1966 TV series as Arcady Duvall in the 'Showdown' episode. Now any fan that did his or her research quickly learned there was no Arcady Duvall or 'Showdown' episode. It was also impossible for Malcolm to be in the show because he hadn't even been in the US at that time as he was performing in the Royal Shakespeare Company in 1966. So, it was all a lie, yes? Mostly. You see, I found the 'Showdown' episode. I was researching another claim from imdb, namely "Batman: The Animated Series (1992) Voice of
Ra's Al Ghul's Son" when I discovered it. 'Showdown', Episode 578, is in the Animated Series. Here's the deal, Ra's is a 600+ year old demon who HAS NO SON, only a daughter. He is desperate to have a male heir to his powers and finds a suitable candidate in Batman. Of course, Batman will not go for this and the daughter falls in love with him in the meantime. Ra's decides that if Batman will not join him then he will have to die, the only way his plan is thwarted is the daughter helps Batman escape. HERE'S THE KICKER! Ra's Al Ghul was voiced by none other than David Warner!!! So, it was probably the same idiot who thought that David was Malcolm in Scream 2. There you have it my little droogies, two mysteries in one solved by YHN.

February 12

Here's the word from Malcolm about my interviewing him for the "Tribute".

"We had a couple of different offers to request for interviews for the Internet and he doesn't have time to see everybody and he thinks if he only sees one person it's not fair to the others. Unfortunately he not going to be doing it. I just found this out recently."

He also confirmed 'Southern Cross', but said the shooting schedule might have been pushed back.

February 9

The 'Southern Cross' is set to begin filming on February 17 in Chile. It stars Malcolm as Felipe Solarno, a rich mine owner and Michael Ironside as the villain for a change. Nothing else is known at this time.

February 5

Here's your last chance at a rare Malcolm collectible. Last night I went into a KB Toy Store and found Captain Simian figures on the shelf. There it was on the back of the card 'Evil Rhesus 2'. None there, but the next KB I went to had a case of them, it seems all KBs got a case yesterday. There are 18 figures in a case, but only 2 'Evil Rhesus 2's. The best part about these 1996 figures is that they were clearing them out at 3/$10. Besides Dr. Soran, this is the only other Malcolm character representation in an action figure. As far as I know KB is only in the U.S. Will scan it in tomorrow. 

February 3

Malcolm will star in "Beings" with Brittany Atkins and Corben Bernsen.

January 6

I don't know how much credit to take on this one. I e-mailed imdb.com a few times telling them Malcolm was NOT in Scream 2 and that it was David Warner. They finally got rid of it. It seems like they thought, "Hey that's that guy from 'Time After Time'....Malcolm McDowell!!"

December 28

I have arrived! I finally got the site listed on Yahoo! Now Malcolm has his own section on Yahoo! at last, no going over to Alta Vista.

Also just received listing on www.fansites.com/malcolm_mcdowell.html

"The Gardener" starring Richard Greico, Malcolm McDowell and Angie Everhart, has had successful, acclaimed screenings in London, England and at the MedFed Film Festival in Milan, Italy. In mid-January, this film will be screened in L.A. for potential North American distributors.

December 25

"Mr. Magoo"was released today. There is a "Magoo" article in the January 1998 issue of Cinefantastique, don't buy it, one line about Malcolm.

December 23 Part 2

Malcolm's agent Mr. Lazo is on vacation, but I spoke to his assistant Mr. Ginsberg. I asked him about "Scream 2" and he said that was the first he heard of it and he looked on Malcolm's resume and it is not listed, though he might wish it was. I first read this on imdb.com, I want to go on record that I don't believe anything they say unless I really check it out. It seems they will publish any rumor without checking. I also told him about Batman and he just laughed.

December 23

I have read that Malcolm plays the film professor in..."Scream 2"!?! Why haven't I heard this before? I spent all night hitting all the "Scream 2" sites and chatrooms looking for answers and got conflicting reports. Some say that yes he did play that role, others say it was Wes Craven himself, others didn't know or remember. If this is true it's unbelievable that it was never mentioned anywhere and is just another sign that Malcolm gets no respect. Since I hated the first "Scream" I have no desire to see "Scream 2" and if Malcolm is in it, it looks like his smallest role ever. Let me know if you hear anything about this.

December 19

There is no Conan in these parts, what a shame, but I did catch the Letterman show. 95% of the interview was about Leslie's growing up and the last minute he talked about "Magoo" and they ran a clip. Yet another bad piece of this movie that confirms my belief that this will be another stinker to sleep through waiting for Malcolm.

December 18

Leslie Nielson is going to be on Letterman tonight and Kelly Lynch in going to be on Conan O' Brien right after. Both are promoting "Mr. Magoo" so it might be worth checking out.

December 17

My site was chosen by www.starseeker.com as their Malcolm fan site.

December 12

Alyssa Milano was on The Tonight Show last night to promote "Hugo Pool", nothing was said about Malcolm.

December 7

The site was added to www.celbrityweb.com/actors/m_actor.htm as fan site for Malcolm McDowell.

December 6

Talked again to Malcolm's agent, Malcolm is in Africa until the end of the year.

December 3

There is a small problem with running a site like this. It's information. Now I have my own archives, plus other things I read or find or are sent to me by fans like yourselves. While most things on this site I know to be 100% true, there are things which I don't know to be true at all. So, what should I do? Well, since I'm the only one doing this Tribute, I'll just put it up and
see what happens. If people dispute the info or come up with new info, then I will either put all of it up or delete some of it. The other problem is that stories change through the years and are different depending on who you talk to. Right now I have three different stories on the origin of
"Singin' in the Rain" in "ACO". Which is the true story? Probably the first one, but I guess we'll really never know the real truth. In conclusion, feel free to send any additions or corrections my way. I'll never put up anything that I know to be false, but I will stand behind things I know to be "true."

In the upcoming issue of SHORT cinema journal which is an electronic magazine done in DVD format that showcases short films and the like, there will be an except from George Hickenloopers upcoming film "The Big Brass Ring". The scene shown in the video is one of Malcolm McDowell as a political figure verbally sparing with someone. There is also an interview with George Hickenlooper on the disc discussing the trouble and challenges of adapting the work of such an icon as Orson Welles. In case you don't know much of Hickenlooper, he did the "Hearts of Darkness: A filmmaker's Apocalypse" documentary on Copolla's "Apocalypse Now" and also wrote and directed the original short film "Some Folks Call it a Sling Blade."

Look for a new biography on Lindsay Anderson in 1998.

The Star Trek: Generations CD-ROM has dropped in price from $55 to $30 for those of you who want it, but don't want to spend big bucks.

November 30 

Added five films to the "Filmography", some are known to exist or are coming out. The others, like "Somewhere in the City" with Sandra Bernhard are not know to exist. I listed them anyway so everybody can do research where they live and find out if they are available or not. Also the
fate of the movie "Monster Butler" which was supposed to be directed by the late Lindsay Anderson is unknown. "The Big Brass Ring", Orson Wells last work, should be out next year.

November 27

The Tom Snyder interview last night was a new one. He talked about "ACO" "Star Trek" and Stanley Kubrick. They only took two calls, but they weren't live and the callers asked the obvious questions. He was there to promote "Hugo Pool" which opens in theaters December 3 in limited release. I don't understand this really since I saw the film on cable months ago. I know Tom is the only one who has Malcolm on right now, but I really can't stand the man. Every time Malcolm started getting into a story, Tom had to interrupt with his stupid stories and it would totally ruin it for Malcolm. Who cares about Tom's stories? People want to hear what the guest has to say, after all, they are the ones being interviewed.

November 26

The "Wing Commander Movie" is under way! Shooting starts in Luxembourg in February 1998. Chris Roberts, creator of WCIII + IV will be directing the feature film. The budget is reported at $30 million or triple thatof WCIV. The film will be distributed by 20th Century Fox in the US. The script is finished, but details are being kept in secret. What is known is Mark Hamill will not be involved because the events will be early on in the series, somewhere after WC Academy. In fact the ONLY actor from the original series will be (drum roll please) Malcolm McDowell as Admiral Tolwyn! Also, the special effects will be, for better or worse, 100% CG. They hope for an Xmas 98 release, but most likely the film will be out early 1999. They had better hurry if the want to beat "Star Wars Episode I" blitzkrieg which begins on May 25, 1999.

Late news...Malcolm will be on the Late Late Show with Tom Synder TONIGHT Thursday/Early Friday 11/26/97 at 12:37AM ET - USA. I don't know if this is a rerun of Malcolm's appearance from this Summer, will let you know tomorrow.

Have received e-mail from David Richard Lewis, a Canadian actor who has worked with Malcolm in the past and recently was the man who stood in for Malcolm in "Mr. Magoo", I will ask his permission for an interview to appear on this site.

November 25

Disney.com lists a "Mr. Magoo" site coming soon. There is the trailer to download at 8.5MB. It took an hour to download and all I can tell you is DO NOT DOWNLOAD IT!!!!! Not only was there no shots or mentions of Malcolm the movie itself looked absolutely terrible. And you know that means trouble when the trailer fails to interest.

I also talked to Malcolm's agent in the US, Michael Lazo, for a chance to interview MM. Mr. Lazo told me that Malcolm was leaving the country this week to spend Thanksgiving with his family and wouldn't back until the beginning of the year. He then said that's when an interview could happen and to fax him with information and we could go from there. So I faxed him and will let you know what happens.

Upcoming SFX-CD Issue 3 UK Featuring "The Lexx"

SFX CD is privileged to be one of the first publications to get the full behind-the-scenes story of this new series. We feature clips of the first two episodes as well as comprehensive episode guides and character profiles. Rutger Hauer, Tim Curry and Malcolm McDowell literally speak their minds in our audio interviews. 

At the Cannes Film Festival 96 a film called "Amanda's Game" premiered. It was directed by Barry Samson and starred Elliott Gould and of course Malcolm. At first I listed it, then I thought it was "Where Truth Lies" but now I realize it's not. I can't find any other info on this obscure film.

November 18

Mr. Magoo to open in theaters on Xmas Day - December 25. Star Trek: Generations premiers on TV - November 18 on Fox. What really pisses me off is that the endless barrage of commercials say "With William Shatner, Patrick Stewart and Whoopi Goldberg". Whoopi? Give me a break! How small was her role? Excuse me, who's the man who kills Captain Kirk, not once, but twice? Just another example of our man getting not getting the respect he deserves.
