Scarlett Johansson will star as a woman who is not of this Earth in the new sci-fi alien project Under the Skin, according to Heat Vision Blog. Here's a description of Scarlett Johansson's alien character in the project:

"Johansson plays an alien on earth, disguised as the perfect aesthetic form of a mesmerizing woman. She scours remote highways and desolate scenery looking to use her greatest weapon to snare human prey -- her voracious sexuality. She is deadly efficient, but over time becomes drawn to and changed by the complexity of life on earth. With this new found humanity and weakening alien resolve, she finds herself on a collision course with her own kind. Taking her point of view throughout, the film presents a unique look at our world through alien eyes."

Sexy Beast director Jonathan Glazer co-wrote the script with Walter Campbell which he will direct from. The script was based on the novel by Michael Faber.

Nick Wechsler and James Wilson will produce the movie for FilmNation, with production set to start in the spring of 2011.

Under the Skin comes to theaters in 2012 and stars Scarlett Johansson. The film is directed by Jonathan Glazer.

Apple has released the second trailer for the highly-anticipated action-fantasy Sucker Punch, which will be released in theaters nationwide on March 25, 2011. Click on the video below for a glimpse at director Zack Snyder's latest thriller:

Close your eyes. Open your mind. You will be unprepared. Sucker Punch is an epic action fantasy that takes us into the vivid imagination of a young girl whose dream world provides the ultimate escape from her darker reality. Unrestrained by the boundaries of time and place, she is free to go where her mind takes her, and her incredible adventures blur the lines between what's real and what is imaginary. She has been locked away against her will, but Babydoll (Emily Browning) has not lost her will to survive. Determined to fight for her freedom, she urges four other young girls--the outspoken Rocket (Jena Malone), the street-smart Blondie (Vanessa Hudgens), the fiercely loyal Amber (Jamie Chung) and the reluctant Sweet Pea (Abbie Cornish)--to band together and try to escape their terrible fate at the hands of their captors, Blue (Oscar Isaac), Madam Gorski (Carla Gugino) and the High Roller (Jon Hamm). Led by Babydoll, the girls engage in fantastical warfare against everything from samurais to serpents, with a virtual arsenal at their disposal. Together, they must decide what they are willing to sacrifice in order to stay alive. But with the help of a Wise Man (Scott Glenn), their unbelievable journey--if they succeed--will set them free.

Sucker Punch comes to theaters March 25th, 2011 and stars Carla Gugino, Vanessa Hudgens, Jena Malone, Jon Hamm, Michael Jai White, Abbie Cornish, Emily Browning, Jamie Chung. The film is directed by Zack Snyder.

The cast prepares to take us behind the Vancouver-based set of the highly anticipated new fantasy adventure from visionary director Zack Snyder

Visionary director Zack Snyder has earned that title by creating a string of successful and groundbreaking, fan-favorite films. He first gained attention for his remake of George A. Romero's classic horror movie Dawn Of The Dead and followed that up with two other extremely popular motion pictures, which were both adapted from famous graphic novels. 300, based on legendary comic book scribe Frank Miller's popular story and Watchmen, based on equally legendary comic book writer Alan Moore's seminal graphic novel, which is considered by many to be one of the greatest comic books of all-time.

In September, the director released his first animated film, Legend of The Guardians: The Owls of Ga'Hoole, which received mostly positive reviews and decent box office numbers. Not to mention that Snyder was recently chosen by The Dark Knight director Christopher Nolan to helm the new adventures of the man-of-steel in the upcoming film, Superman. But first, audiences will have a chance to see the director's latest visually stunning movie when Sucker Punch is released in theaters on March 25th.

Snyder has described his new film as "Alice in Wonderland with machine guns, dragons, B-25 bombers and brothels." That sounds pretty good to us! The film is set in the '1950s and tells the story of Baby Doll (Emily Browning), who is trying to hide from the pain caused by her evil stepfather. She ends up in mental institution in Vermont, where she begins to imagine an alternate reality. In order to deal with the situation, she enters the hyper-real world of her imagination, and the lines between reality and dream begin to blur. Eventually friends, who are inmates from the institution, join Baby Doll on her journey. They want to escape from the imaginary world but in order to do that must steal five objects in five days, before Baby Doll is lobotomized in the real world.

Last December, we had an opportunity to travel to Vancouver and visit the set of Sucker Punch while they were filming. We were given a chance to walk through the production offices, costume and prop shops, as well as visit the cutting room, see some footage and even visit the set and watch Snyder direct a scene. In addition to speaking with the director himself, we also had a chance to speak with some of the stars of the film including Carla Gugino (Watchmen), Vanessa Hudgens (High School Musical 3: Senior Year), Jena Malone (The Messenger), Abbie Cornish (Bright Star) and Jamie Chung (Dragonball Evolution).

Here is an excerpt from our interview with Zack Snyder where the director begins to explain the message behind the film.

"The movie, it's all about power, so anytime you are dealing with power between men and women, you are on the edge with everybody. So this movie is all about being on the edge in that way, like, when is a person strong and when is a person weak? That's what it's all about. When to take advantage of that and when people do take advantage of it, when do you have to dig deep down inside yourself?"

We wanted to let you know that coverage of our visit to the set of Sucker Punch will begin running soon, so be sure check back with us in the next few weeks to learn everything you need to know about the exciting new film! Also, if you'd like to be among the first to see the official trailer for the movie, which will debut online at 5PM PST today, be sure to check back with us this afternoon for your first official glimpse of Zack Snyder's upcoming new film!

Sucker Punch comes to theaters March 25th, 2011 and stars Carla Gugino, Vanessa Hudgens, Jena Malone, Jon Hamm, Michael Jai White, Abbie Cornish, Emily Browning, Jamie Chung. The film is directed by Zack Snyder.

This quirky unique family will certainly deliver you with some rib tickling moments, ageless romance and some heartwarming scenes.

A beautiful journey full of madness, love and excitement.

A film with the perfect blend of just every emotion that will set in your heart with thrice the fun, thrice the magic, and thrice the laughter.



Movie News:
This Diwali can turn director Rohit Shetty’s life brighter, as he is gearing up to release his laugh riot Golmaal 3 during the festive season. However, the competition is tough this time, as it will face a strong competition from Akshay Kumar and Aishwarya Bachchan starrer Action Replayy, which is also releasing on the same day.

However, the producers Shree Ashtavinayak Cine Vision and the distributors Eros International seem to be not at all bothered about this competition. The first Golmaal movie was a great success at the box office and the same was followed by Golmaal Returns, which was released amid tough competition from Madhur Bhandarkar’s Fashion. So, they expect the success story will be repeated with the third movie too.

With a bunch of talented actors like Ajay Devgn, Kareena Kapoor, Shreyas Talpade, Tusshar Kapoor, Arshad Warsi and Kunal Khemu, the makers are very confident about the success of the movie. Ajay is doing all possible things to promote the movie, as he returns as funny man in the series for the third time.



Devgn was quoted as saying that he wants both the film to do well but he wishes his film to do a little better. He has taken the competition in its positive stride and said that two big releases during the festive season are good for the industry.

In Golmaal 3, Kareena will be seen in a totally different avatar from that of her ‘serial-lover’ character Ekta in Golmaal Returns. She will be seen riding bikes in her tomboyish role. The movie has two new characters in the form of veteran comedian Johny Lever and Kunal Khemu.

The promos of the movie suggest that it will be yet another laugh riot with loads of comic moments. Rohit is ready to serve it hot during Diwali but will he get third time lucky with same platter?

Washington, (ANI): Pregnant Mariah Carey and her husband Nick Cannon don't know the sex of their baby yet, but the former insisted that if their baby turns out to be a girl she won’t go the pink way.

"I'm not going to impose pink on a girl," People man quoted the singer as saying on the Ellen DeGeneres Show. “Do you think I'm really going to go that hard with it? That's how you get the exact opposite," she added.

When DeGeneres asked if she could guess whether she’s having a boy or girl, Carey said, "I would prefer not. Because imagine if you're a baby inside someone's body. Do you really want someone imposing their sex ideas on you? Not really? I'm just saying. Would you want them to be like it's definitely a girl … would you?”

Click on the images below, which feature Jessica Alba, as well as original Spy Kids Alexa Vega and Daryl Sabara, to access our growing photo gallery:





On the surface, Marissa Cortez Wilson (Jessica Alba) has it all...married to a famous spy hunting television reporter, a new baby and intelligent twin step kids. But in reality, trying to mother Rebecca (Rowan Blanchard) and Cecil (Mason Cook), who clearly don't want her around, is her toughest challenge yet. Also, her husband, Wilbur (Joel McHale), wouldn't know a spy if he lived with one which is exactly the case - Marissa's a retired secret agent.

Marissa's world is turned upside down when the maniacal Timekeeper (Jeremy Piven) threatens to take over the planet and she's called back into action by the head of OSS, home of the greatest spies and where the now-defunct Spy Kids division was created. With Armageddon quickly approaching, Rebecca and Cecil are thrust into action when they learn their boring stepmom was once a top agent and now the world's most competitive ten year olds are forced to put their bickering aside and rely on their wits. With a little help from a couple of very familiar Spy Kids, Carmen (Alexa Vega) and Juni Cortez (Daryl Sabara), and some mind-blowing gadgets, they just may be able to save the world and possibly bring their family together while they're at it.

Spy Kids 4: All the Time in the World comes to theaters August 19th, 2011 and stars Jessica Alba, Jeremy Piven, Joel McHale, Rowan Blanchard, Mason Cook, Antonio Banderas, Alexa Vega, Daryl Sabara. The film is directed by Robert Rodriguez.

Paramount Pictures has moved the release date of The Coen Brothers' Western Remake True Grit up from December 25th, Christmas Day, a Saturday, to the more economically viable date of December 22nd, a Wednesday.

The switch gives the movie a three-day head start heading into the holiday weekend, which will now allow it to garner stronger word of mouth. It also puts the film in direct competition with the family friendly Gulliver's Travels and the grown-up comedy Little Fockers. The three holiday releases are different enough from each other, and aiming for slightly different demographics, so there should be plenty of breathing room come Christmas Day.

The decision to move True Grit came after The Coen Brothers screened the Western for Paramount executives. They were impressed enough to make the move, hoping that the three extra days would serve as a sneak preview of sorts for the adult audience the film is trying to nab. This information was provided by Deadline.

True Grit comes to theaters December 22nd, 2010 and stars Jeff Bridges, Matt Damon, Josh Brolin, Barry Pepper, Hailee Steinfeld, Paul Rae, Ed Corbin. The film is directed by Ethan Coen, Joel Coen.

Yesterday, a rumor started to spread that Hugh Jackman is appearing as Wolverine in the upcoming Marvel Studios prequel X-Men: First Class. This odd bit of news stemmed from a limo driver's Facebook update, where he stated that he had just driven Jackman away from the Jekyll Island, Georgia-based location of the X-Men: First Class set. Now, producer Bryan Singer has come forward to debunk this rumor.

In speaking with The Coventry Telegraph, Singer insisted that X-Men: First Class had not yet begun shooting on Jekyll Island, and if Jackman was in the area, he didn't know about it. He also went onto describe the X-Men: First Class storyline in more detail:

"{Hugh Jackman) is not in the movie, he's in the Wolverine movies. X-Men hasn't started shooting in Georgia yet and if Hugh was in Georgia, it wasn't for this movie. It's about how Xavier - if you know the X-Men universe - how Professor Xavier and Magneto kind of met and became friends and how that friendship turned into something else. It takes place in the early 60s and it incorporates some characters I was able to bring back in time that are familiar, as well as some new characters, new mutants. Also, there's a new villain component, a really cool villain and villain group. It's a really cool and fun story. It will be the first Silver Age Marvel movie.

The elusive director discusses his hilarious jihad comedy about four inept terrorists attempting a suicide bombing

England's Christopher Morris has created a thoughtful and hilarious treatise on terrorism with his latest project, Four Lions. While a comedy about Jihadi suicide bombers might sound like its trying to court controversy, the film is being lauded as one of the most important essays ever made about the subject. Some critics have even hailed as it the best film of this year.

It is certainly ripe for discussion, and in a rare instance of communal intelligence, audiences are actually viewing Four Lions before making any rash judgment calls about the story's contents. It has seen an outpouring of support from all political affiliations, and there hasn't been any real debate about Four Lions's impending release in the States at all, actually. People genuinely love it.

The plot follows a group of young Muslim men living in Sheffield, England. They have become radicalized and decide to carry out a suicide bombing on one of their on mosques. Rather inept, this gang finds that acts of terrorism aren't as easy as they sound. And what transpires is a comical twist on one of the touchiest subjects in the world.

Director/writer Christopher Morris is a satirist known for spoofing news and current affairs in such popular UK series as The Day Today and Brass Eye, the later of which set off a firestorm when Morris decided to tackle the "dangerous" subject of pedophilia. Out of the public's eye for the past couple of years and notorious for bucking interviews, Morris has recently taken on the challenge of touring Four Lions across America. And one of those stops was Los Angeles, where he agreed to chat with us for a couple of minutes.

Here is our conversation:

You are taking Four Lions all over the place these next two weeks. How is this experience so far? To be touring America?



Christopher Morris: Its great fun. I'm saying this on day one. I haven't been here twenty-four hours. But it's been great fun. It's been a glorious tour. It has exceeded all expectations. You can run that if you are posting this in two weeks time. Or I can give you another one that says: Rank disaster! I can't believe there were empty theaters. I can't believe there were people running out. We had death threats. That's your other one, if in two weeks, things have gone completely wrong. Basically, I am really looking forward to this. Because our experiences with American audiences so far have been really fantastic. I have been bowled over. I am hoping that will continue, and that we haven't hoovered up all the people who will like the film. I hope that we are not heading into some badlands.

Even with this touchy subject matter, there seems to be an overwhelming outpouring of support. There is a certain lack of controversy over Four Lions' release. Has that aspect surprised you?

Christopher Morris: Well, I have gotten used to being not surprised. I thought there might be a little bit of controversy. But I knew that you could only sort-of react with a loud, outraged noise with this film. If you were contrived, and a bit stupid. If you actually watched it, it sort of converts you away from the controversial idea of the title. Or at least the strap line. "A comedy about jihads? What the hell are you doing?" Once you realize that we were taking the material seriously enough to be properly funny, and we're not saying, "Hey, terrorism is high-larious!" But we based this on real life, the pursuit of these complicated and tightly wound plots involve a great deal of error, argument, and foolishness. Then, it is open for anybody to laugh at it.



I know you delved quite deeply into the details, and that you studied what actually goes on in Jihadi circles, and what goes on in carrying out acts of terrorism. One of the scariest, and funniest aspects is that they actually do use children's chat rooms to communicate. Is it possible that our kids are conversing with terrorists on a daily basis?

Christopher Morris: (Laughs) No! I think this is another good idea that I would be quite happy to sell on for a certain fee. But I would want a good auction. My kids used to go on a website called Club Penguin. I thought, "You know what? If you were planning some secret communications? You could dress up as a cartoon penguin, and talk in a rough code. You'd probably get away with that." You are not allowed to swicky-swear on Club Penguin. Then you are out. As long as you keep it clean, and you communicate around a code that is based on The A-Team or The Simpsons, and you do find that these people do this...They text, and they amateur message, and the email...They have email addresses. There was a guy whose email address was @ilovekyle.com. And there was @kewlankinky. At Google Mail, or something. One cell had a communication system made up entirely of album reviews. There was a U2 album review, and a Chili Peppers review. They discussed Big Brother. That was there code system. Why not?

Not watching the film as a scholar, but as an average filmgoer who just went into see a funny movie, I certainly got lost in the story of these four characters as actual, real people. And I want to know, where did you find the line to draw between making a character that is likeable, and someone we can identify with, and maybe even empathize with on some level. But also have us understand and know what this person is up to, and to get us to a place where we understand, and almost want to see, these guys blow themselves up at the end?

Christopher Morris: The fact is, the distribution of personality doesn't pay attention to your final acts on a moral scale. You can find people who would be charming, and great people to hang out with socially, who were in a terrorist cell. Then you would find other people who were sociopaths. There are jokers, and there are non-jokers. There are uptight people. There are boring people. There are a whole lot in there. So, why wouldn't this be the case? Really? The evidence is there in real life. Even Khalid Shaikh Mohammed, who is on trial, is a mastermind behind certain attacks, and he communicates with a sort-of joke. He has a strong sense of irony in the things he says while in court. I wouldn't say he is the most hilarious man on earth. But, there is humor there. One of the things is, to run a group, you have to be a bit charismatic. And you have to be a decent character at some point. At least to those people in their group. Look, the guy that ran the plot to blow up the trains in London five years ago was a renowned local school teaching assistant. He had a particular habit of helping out the underprivileged kids and giving them lifts when they were having difficulty getting to school. That whole kind of thing, That was the same guy that planned to blow people up on trains.

Its crazy. Me and my friend had gotten off one of those buses just hours before that happened. On July 7th.

Christopher Morris: Whereabouts did you disembark?

I'm not sure off the top of my head. I was visiting my friend in London. It was the bus that was blown up in half, that was left in the middle of the street.

Christopher Morris: Jesus, in Tavistock Square?

Yes. We had gotten on another bus after that, and then the bombing happened while we were on a boat heading for Amsterdam. We heard about it while we were walking around Amsterdam. We were a little bit out of sorts...

Christopher Morris: That could have sent you into a very bad place. If you'd been rash and gone straight for the strongest stuff in the café.

It did get the whole day off to a weird start.

Christopher Morris: Did you find yourself laughing historically about the terrorist attacks in London? Or wanting to eat a lot of chocolate as a result of the terrorist attacks in London? Or what? Were you trying to pull your eyes out in a paranoid state, wishing that a hospital would deliver you from this Hell?

It was weird. What we were actually thinking was that my buddy, Tommy Lloyd, had been in South America the year before when something similar had happened. Maybe a year before. Then this happened. And he was worried that someone was going to do a cross check on his passport. Paranoia had set in with him.

Christopher Morris: Ah, of course. Yeah, two is enough to make an unbreakable pattern.

He was kind of spooking me out. Hanging out with him. When we got back a few days later, they still had the two halves of that bus in the street, draped with a giant sheet. It was weird experiencing the people's reactions to it happening in London, and also having experienced the reactions in America on 9/11. Do you personally see a difference between how Americans handle these situations compared to Londoners?

Christopher Morris: Look, I'll make two statements. The first of which undermines the second. Generally, I have been amazed at how phlegmatic and, indeed, ready to embrace the film American audiences have been at the screenings we have played so far. I haven't had any problem getting through that barrier that you suggest might exist. People have really gone for it wholeheartedly. Secondly, if anything, you can't begin to generalize. To generalize an American audience is an act of madness. Ever locality sees the film in a different way. We screened it in New York a few weeks ago. I thought, here if anywhere, they would have the right to be perhaps a little oversensitive about the contents of the film. Not at all. They completely went the other way. They were like, "Come on, dude. This happened to us. We are the fist people to get over this." It wasn't bravado and thick skin. People from both sides of the political spectrum had been in that audience. They were working two blocks away from Ground Zero. There was a guy who'd lost his friend. They were all capable of seeing the film and laughing at it. The American response so far? I have been very pleasantly surprised by it.

Was it similar to what you saw when the film was released in England? I'm not sure when it was released there...

Christopher Morris: It was released in May. We had a good run. The response was incredibly positive in Britain. Sort of a cross spectrum, which I hadn't really anticipated. We felt it played equally well to Muslim audiences as it did to really quite conservative audiences. The take would be different. It was like, they would both laugh. Then they would come out and give different reasons for their laughter. In some strange way, a lot of British agents felt positively included by the film. Which, at first, felt paradoxical. Why would they think this was one of the most inclusive films that they'd seen in Britain? When it was basically about terrorists? But it's about the fact that these are a bunch of guys with feats of clay. They are portrayed as purely that. British Agents are used to being portrayed in more stereotypical, cartoonish ways. Then, on the other side, the conservatives see it as a gesture on behalf of free speech. You should be able to make a film about anything and laugh long and hard about it. Even if you are a soldier who has had friends blown up in suicide attacks. I was surprised by the spectrum. The film was able to have a good long run. Its probably still playing somewhere, in a lovely little seaside resort that has an art cinema.

I don't know how it was in England, but after 9/11, in the States, there were a lot of retrospectives and a lot of documentary segments on shows like 20/20 about how actors of Middle Eastern decent had come out against Hollywood, and they were very disappointed that the only roles they could get were as terrorists. What was your experience like when you went to cast this film?

Christopher Morris: Oh, yeah, man. When I was talking to actors for this, they were all saying, "Ah, okay! Right!" All the Asian guys were saying, "We have a permanent bid on these roles now. We know the only part we're going to be up for is a terrorist. So why even bother to shave? We just go around looking like terrorists all the time because that is all we get." To be honest, there was a whole industry built around these kinds of two-dimensional, off the shelf, cut and paste together type representations that were going on. That is one of the things that frustrated me. I thought, no one is getting anywhere near this. It is all the same. It is all monotone storytelling. No one is getting inside these people's heads. This is all real bullshit. There was a staggering lack of curiosity. Which is still actually the case. Most people cannot be bothered to get anywhere near this. My feeling is that this film should be made many times over by lots of people. Why it hasn't is basically a judgment.

How do you think this material would fare if put in the hands of a more serious-minded director? Which isn't even exactly fare to ask, because this is quite a dramatic film, one that has comedic overtones. It's not a straight up comedy. But do you think we'll see a more dramatic take on this story told from the terrorists' side of the fence?

Christopher Morris: There should be. Look, why not? The information is out there. It's not secret. People are out there to meet. It's just a matter of will, and whether you are prepared to do it. If you make a film about a bomb disposal unit in Iraq, you talk to people who worked in that bomb disposal unit in Iraq, and you use those people to help you get a film that is accurate. Why would you not do the same on a subject like this? When you talk about comedy and drama, I think it was Sandy McKendrick who said structure and comedy is structure squared. Or cubed, or something. That was an appalling misquote. But what he was saying is that you need to understand dramatic structure to do drama. And you need to understand it in triplicate to do comedy. Because comedy is drama with the turns more heightened. The gaps are more heightened. If you don't have some dramatic development, or spine to your film, you are going to have just a string of jokes, which then stops.

Your film seems to carry so many truths, and I know you did dig on this to make it the accurate portrayal that it is. Wouldn't it be hard to make a film like this without an element of humor? It seems like every single laugh in the film is earned, and comes from a natural place. There is no true slapstick.

Christopher Morris: You just described why the movie became what it is. I wasn't looking for jokes. I was just reading into the subject. And I came up against examples of silly, recognizably foolish human behavior. Whether it was the head of the 9/11 plotters being interviewed, and for two hours, he tried to choose a costume that didn't make him look fat. Or whether it was the fact that when he went on camera, he then tried to talk like a sheik, and he changed his voice, and he wagged his finger. He came up with some tantric quotes. And he was stopped by the journalist, who realized he was getting all of his tantric quotes wrong. There is a rather doltish quality just in that. There were lots of court cases that had ample intelligence and surveillance material. Which gave an insight into the everyday conversations that these guys had, sitting around in their bed sheets planning cosmic war. But in a very frail way. They would get caught up in conversations about Johnny Depp. Who was cooler? Osama Bin Laden or Johnny Depp? How The Lord of the Rings related to jihadism. All these kinds of things. That The Lion King scene in the film is not from nowhere. The Lion King is a reference I came across several times describing a moral universe between good and evil. Which, if you apply it to your radical ideology, you say, "We're the good guys!" And off you go!

Its funny. The Lion King is also embraced by the gay community in a similar way.

Christopher Morris: The Lion King speaks to everybody. It would be possible to rationalize a jihadi cell with nothing more than a good, general sense of disaffection and a copy of The Lion King. I don't think its wrong.

If you are Jihad, you don't have to get permission to use a registered trademark or image like a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle to go out and blow up a building. How did that apply to you? Did you have to secure the rights to use the likeness of these characters we see being used at the end of the movie?

Christopher Morris: They have all been dying to see their characters used as terrorists for years. Its good for business. Come on! You just have to be a little bit careful. But then, maybe what I said is true. Maybe they are dying to have their characters used as terrorists. After all, it is a pretty good way of extending the franchise. There are baddies as well as goodies.

I can imagine that the two guys who created the Mutant Turtles have a great sense of humor, and don't mind seeing their character used here, in this manner. Now, the main character's costume? This furry monster? I don't know if that is a real character or not...

Christopher Morris: It is in Britain. It's basically a big fluffy, idiotic creature that has been used to advertise a breakfast cereal for about forty years. He is instantly recognizable, like Mickey Mouse.

I figured as much. I personally wasn't familiar with it.

Christopher Morris: I hope that didn't destroy your sense of the film.

No, it didn't. But let me ask you this. I recently talked with an Irish filmmaker, and he had subtitled quite a bit of his latest film, even though it was in English. He didn't feel that some of the accents were understandable. The same could be said about your film. There are times when I couldn't understand some of the dialogue. Did you ever consider having subtitles on Four Lions? Or did you feel that would, as you say, destroy the sense of the film?

Christopher Morris: It has come up in conversation. We have not had a conclusive vote on it. When we first came to the states, we thought this was a live issue. But 70% of the people who see the film don't come out saying, "Man, I would have gotten so much more from this experience had it had subtitles." There are maybe one or two people. How would you know what the bits were that you didn't hear? But let me ask you anyway. What were the bits you didn't hear?

I think the bits that I didn't understand were slang terms I wasn't familiar with anyway.

Christopher Morris: Yeah. There are a few things. When I introduced the screening last night, I did mention the rapids, which is a ride in a theme park in Britain. It is a cross between a log flume and something that involves dirigibles. You get into a little rubber boat and you go sliding down some very fast rapids. The other thing was mini Baby Bells. But people know what Baby Bells are, yeah?

Its little round, white pieces of cheese. Right?

Christopher Morris: Yeah, exactly.

I have read a lot of the essays that have come out in regards to Four Lions, and one word that keeps coming up is "dangerous". We haven't realty seen a film in a while that could be considered "dangerous", and it does certainly feel like the types of films that came out in the 70s. Do you think we will see a trend towards more thought provoking material in the coming years? Or is this just a rare instance...

Christopher Morris: Wouldn't it be great if I could answer on behalf of a general plurality rather than myself. I have no idea. How could I know? I do like those types of films that you refer to in the 70s. The French Connection. Dog Day Afternoon. Whatever they are, those things that are kind of raw. They take you into a world in a way that films frantically try to distance themselves from most of the time, these days. Is that a trend? You are in a better position to tell that than I am. I have become a monomaniac. I can't comment on anything other than this picture with the damn crow.

And you will be talking about Four Lions for the next two weeks straight...

Christopher Morris: As I have been for the last year. It is a pretty surreal experience. I think I am going to need to spend a year just sitting by the seesaw, communicating with turtles and sea otters, and probably crabs. They are about my level.

Everyone of these essays references a TV show you made in the UK that I wasn't familiar with. It dealt with pedophiles...

Christopher Morris: Yeah, it was basically a satire on the media's overreaction to the portrayal of pedophiles. It wasn't just a satire on the media portrayal, it was a satire on society's general knee-jerk reaction. People responded so quickly, it bypassed their thought circuits. That made it easy to get people to speak nonsense on behalf of a campaign that seemed to be against pedophiles. We made an early recording with a media celebrity in Britain. We got him to hold a live crab. He held it up in front of him and said, "Pedophiles have more genetically in common with a crab than they do you are me." He said this as serious public information broadcast. Then he went onto say, "There is no scientific evidence for this at all. But it is fact." I thought, once you can get people to say that, you are onto a winner in terms of how much, and how completely they bypass their ability to think about a subject, because they have snapped into a hysterical state of mind. In a weird way, that kind of thinking underpins the impetus to making Four Lions.

Is this show of yours available in America? Maybe I am just behind the times on this...

Christopher Morris: Its almost like we supplied you the question, just so I could give you the answer. Which is, "Yes!" I am sure some distributor is doing a deal right now to distribute it in the states. It is possible if you have the right Region Coded DVD player, you can get it on Amazon. But we are discussing an American distribution deal with somebody. But I wouldn't hang around. I'd nick one.
