Gerard Butler. I always knew that some day you'd come walking back through my door. I never doubted that. Something made it inevitable. Gerard Butler's "officially unofficial" fansite is hosting a bunch of high-resolution stills of Butler and Jodie Foster from the upcoming Nim's Island. I was going to post a bigger version of Butler and his bullwhip here, but my computer is protesting, so it's better if you head on over there to view them. (I cannot find where they originated from -- and the site is mum, so if I am slighting someone, I apologize.)
I have to say, Butler looks less than thrilled in most of these. I guess he has more poise than I do, and wasn't running around yelling "You betrayed Shiva!" the entire shoot. Or maybe he was, and just wore himself out. I dig the costume though, especially the boots.
In other Island news, the film is reaching out to children with the Nim's Island: Our World, A Reel Thinking Event. Hosted by Jeff Corwin, the special will be aired on Animal Planet on April 2nd at 10am PST/EST, as well as in schools across the country. It will go behind the scenes of the film, while educating about environmental issues, and encouraging students to come up with solutions. Animal Planet and Walden Media are also sponsoring a contest to implement one classroom's best earth-saving idea.
I really love that this film is avoiding the McDonalds and merchandising route, and is instead educating children on coral reefs and living green. What a lovely idea! I hope a similar marketing scheme accompanies Wall*E.

Thanks for article on the new photos of Mr. Butler as "Alex Rover" in Nim's Island. He looks great - definitely "in character" in those photos.
Just wanted to let you know the photos are included in a slide presentation on Walden Media's -- Nim's Island's Myspace page at- http://www.myspace.com/nimsisland
Always glad to read up-dates on Gerard Butler's new movie projects so please keep them coming.

I am so eager for this film. Love the book. I'm anxious to see Butler interacting with both animals and kids. The trailers are great, and if the stills are any indication Mr. Butler wears his fedora very well.

I think this film will be nice.
Gerard Butler is a special actor, that
doesn't play a character,but
makes the character itself !
I love this so tender and funny
interpreter!
PS Sorry for my disastrous english.
