Todd Field Tears Up Little Children
Filed under: Comedy », Drama », DIY/Filmmaking », Harry Potter »
Todd Field's adaptation of the novel Little Children by Tom Perrotta posed a lot of problems as he tried to cram the entire novel into a feature film ... so he rewrote it, literally. He hated the ending, and made some major changes, collaborating with Perrotta, who also shares a screenwriting credit on the film. They both worked together to make significant changes in order to adapt the book for into a film.This isn't the first adaptation for either. Field wrote and directed Oscar-nominated In The Bedroom , which was based on an Andre Dubus short story. However, Dubus died two years before the film came out, which made it impossible for Field to colloborate with him. Perrotta's novel Election was adapted into a movie written by director Alexander Payne and Jim Taylor. Perrotta didn't work on that script, however, since it was the first one of his novels to be optioned, and the movie development went into high gear and was in theaters only a few months after the book came out.
Miramax to auction props
Filed under: Drama », Music & Musicals », Disney », Family Films », Newsstand », Weinstein Brothers »
As part of their divorce from Miramax, starting
Friday Disney will be selling off "thousands of props and wardrobe items from Miramax's Weinstein era" via an
online auction. In addition to opening up a hell of a lot of closet space in the Disney house, the auctions will also
benefit each company's charities, so it's warm and fuzzy all around. On the Disney side, proceeds will go into the
coffers of the Entertainment Industry Foundation, while the Weinstein brothers will use the auction as a chance to kick
off their new Max Family Foundation, named in honor of their father.Among the items up for grabs (at eBay and Premiereprops.com) are one of Renée Zellweger's size -4 dresses from Chicago and Michael Meyer's mask from Halloween H20, as well as some bits from Spy Kids, Shakespeare in Love, and The Cider House Rules. Get clicking, kids. Just keep telling yourself it's for a good cause - that makes it ok to spend, spend, spend!
