Julie, you're a star!!! Thx a lot.

God, I really want this movie to work. Maybe it will. But "squeezing a small art film into a blockbuster" is exactly what Will Smith said about "I, Robot" and as good a movie as that one was, I wouldn'tcall it an art fiom:/ We'll see in December (or January in my case;) )

Cheers

I think the hollywood machine dictates that it can't be a small art film. There is simply too much money at stake. It will be interesting to see what survives. Unless we have no Willisms or hell nawss to look forward to in this 1

it depends on how much creative freedom they get from warner bros. and, first of all, in what fashion they wanna tell the story. batman begins, for example, while costing more than 150 million dollars, was really an intelligent character- and plot-driven movie, made in the fashion of an arthouse movie (while still being a blockbuster). i think there CAN be art in huge hollywood blockbusters, it just depends on the script and talent involved.

on the other side, entertainment is an art (to me), never forget that. having said that, i do have sum doubts about i am legend.

Big Bucks tend to take any charm away from a so-called Art Movie. You almost want it to look cheap and dirty lol.

Eternal Sunshine is probably the xlosest example of a Hollywood film with Indie influences in it.

LOOOOOL... but that's an indie film, can't compare that to movies such as 'i am legend' and 'batman begins,' etc. etc.
