The Jessica Alba cellphone video game
Filed under: Action, Celebrities and Controversy, Fandom, Tech Stuff, Movie Marketing
I usually don't even watch AMC's Sunday Morning Shootout anymore, because unless Peter Bart and Peter Guber pull a great guest (Francis Ford Coppola comes to mind), it's usually abysmally boring. But I stumbled opon it last weekend and caught Jessica Alba talking about her new project: a violence-free video game for play on cellular phones. "In Korea, what they're doing is people can
basically play the games all the time on their phones. It's gonna be
like an interactive thing. This is the kind of action that I wanna do
when I do an action movie." There's no word yet on whether or not a digital Alba will appear in the game, but I think quite a few of you would probably shell out a few bucks to be able to watch her prance across your Treo at the press of a button.

Delta brings Shootout to disc
Six-disc set launched as 'film school in a box'
By Scott Hettrick 11/10/2005
NOV. 10 | AMC’s Sunday Morning Shootout is coming to DVD designed as a “film school in a box,” according to distributor Delta Entertainment.
The six-disc set of the first season of the weekly program, which focuses on the business of the entertainment industry, will include hours of bonus features revolving around hosts Peter Bart, editor of Variety, and producer Peter Guber as well as the full 25-minute interviews with guest actors and filmmakers that are cut to about 10 minutes for the half-hour show.
Delta will release Sunday Morning Shootout: The Best of Season 1 on Dec. 27 in association with Davis-Anderson Merchandising Corp. The first season includes interviews with Clint Eastwood, Charlize Theron, Denzel Washington, Harvey Weinstein and Bruce Willis as well as episodes produced on location at films festivals such as Sundance and Cannes.
Noam Dromi, who produced the DVD along with Evan Geerlings, said the discs also include a “day-in-the-life” documentary with Bart and Guber as they go about their regular day jobs and then head to the studio to record another episode of the show. Also offered is a behind-the-scenes look at the making of the program.
Anticipating that the DVD will reach consumers who might be unfamiliar with the show and yet interested in learning about the business side of the film industry, each DVD will be presented with a specific theme, such as “The Triple Threat: Actor/Director/Producer” and “The Executive Shuffle: Revenge of the Hollywood Suits.” The six discs will be sold in a deluxe set or in two-packs.
Delta launched the DVD division of the 30-year-old music company in the late ’90s.
“The Shootout experience is a must-have resource for aspiring filmmakers and everyone who loves movies,” said Delta president Eric Diltz. He said the program “reflects the company’s commitment to supply the domestic home entertainment marketplace with quality, entertaining, viable product.”
In its third season on AMC, the Scott Sternberg production is scheduled to reach its 100th episode this spring.
“We always had envisioned DVD as part of our long-term strategy for the series and believe Delta Entertainment is the ideal company to distribute it,” said executive producer Sternberg.
