The Orlando Sentinel indicated in June 2002 that hiking boots, relics
of one of the studio's famed "research trips," are sitting in a
display case across the four floors of Feature Animation Florida.
Comparative shots of the aurora borealis as seen in Alaska, Michigan
and Finland are pasted on one wall, photographic studies of the
wildlife they might want to include in the film are on another.
Samples of work of artists they might want to suggest in the film's
style--Frederic Remington, Al Hirschfeld, famous pieces of
illustrated advertising from the '30s--are pasted up, in between
cutouts of the late comic strip Calvin & Hobbes. "We even had bear
cubs brought in here a few weeks ago," says Boyd. "That was fun."
From the early drawings and paintings, it's plain that Bears will
look nothing like Lilo. That's just the way Schumacher likes it. "We
like to continue changing, challenging our artists, showing new
looks," Schumacher says. "The style changes with the demands of the
story," says veteran animator Andreas Deja, principal animator of The
Lion King's Scar, Aladdin's Jafar and for the new film, the little
girl Lilo.

*SIGHTING:
SPACEHOG, the glam-rock band
that scored a hit single with "In the
Meantime"in the mid-'90s, is on "permanent hiatus," reports The
Post's Mary Huhn. Brit brothers Royston and Antony Langdon, who formed the band
in New York, were better known for dating models than making music. Antony dated
and dumped Kate Moss and Royston is engaged to actress Liv Tyler. Royston, with
his new band, performed to a full house at Arlene Grocery Wednesday night, as
Tyler, Michael Stipe and Joaquin Phoenix cheered him on.

My friend Vinterberg
by Susanne Johansson in New York
"Hvordan går det" Joaquin Phoenix asks in what you in a diplomatic
way
would call charming but in broken Danish, and at the same time he looks
proud but also a bit embarrassed. " I just can't speak
that language" he says. " No matter how much I tried and wanted to
learn
it, it was practically impossible for me to learn"
Joaquin Phoenix had the opportunity to learn it for several months last
year. He was spending the months in Copenhagen during the shootings of
Thomas Vinterberg's upcoming movie " It is all about love" where he
has
the main role. But where the Danish language gave him
difficulties, Copenhagen sure did not. " I had a wonderful time there"
the 27-year old American movie star says. He enjoyed himself during his
stay in Copenhagen and he spent a lot of time on his bike. He has just
as good memories when it comes to the director Thomas Vinterberg, who
has become one of his friends.
Very refined.
"At first I was very surprised. I had seen "The Celebration" and
I knew
about the whole Dogme-Manifesto, so when I received the manuscript I
expected it to be similar to that. Instead it turned out to be as
Anti-Dogme as you could imagine. Very refined and plenty of greenscreen.
(scenes that are shot in front of a green screen and thereafter the background
are added in digital)
And Thomas has to be the happiest director I have ever met. Which in fact in
reality is more Danish than it is Thomas. But he has an incredible warmth and a
face that……those eyes, beautiful eyes, makes you feel very comfortable and
safe in his company. That is how it has been with him since our first meeting. I
was in Germany shooting “Buffalo Soldier” when he came down to meet me. I
remember I looked at the parking lot and saw this figure. I knew right away that
it had to be him and I could not help smiling. Just by looking at him I just had
this really great feeling. A feeling which later proved correct. He became a
really good friend so it has been an incredible experience working with him “
Joaquin Phoenix says.
“It is all about love” will probably have premiere in the beginning of 2003.
But already next month we can enjoy Joaquin Phoenix in M. Night Shyamalans new
thriller “Signs.”

23-07-Mel
Gibson fails to outwit Signs co-star
Mel Gibson was left disappointed after he attempted to play a
practical joke on his Signs co-star.
Gibson, who is known for playing pranks on his co-stars, appear with
Joaquin Phoenix in Signs, the latest film from M Night Shyamalan.
The pair were filming a scene in which Phoenix's character is
watching news of an alien attack in a small room under the stairs of
their farmhouse.
"On take 14, Mel comes crunching down the stairs and he's supposed to
knock on the door of the little room I'm in, enter and then we do our
scene," Phoenix tells www.suntimes.com.
"Well there was a knock, all I see is the lights go out in my little
room and then I notice that I'm locked in this room that's no bigger
than a closet.
"I just sat there patiently for 15 minutes and then when Mel finally
opened the door, I leaned out and did my line," Phoenix says. "Mel
was so disappointed because I gave him absolutely no reaction to his
prank."

Producers: Steven Perry, Bonnie Brockheimer
& Steven Saxton
Pending Cast: Kim Bassinger, Joaquin Phoenix, and Danny Glover
Director: Martha Coolidge
Screenplay: Robert C. Newton
Status: In Development
Tentative Release Date: January 2003
Planting its story against the backdrop of the burgeoning Space Program (Bunny
is obsessed with nabbing the sole single astronaut as her husband, while Bud
dreams of heading to Florida himself and cracking the industry - how hard could
it be?), this script has the bittersweet air of a time long past that was both
more innocent and more difficult in that the mysteries of life were somehow more
momentous to naive souls such as Susie. What works best in this script is the
way the three central female characters strut and joust for the attentions of
Bud, using their assets - Ellen has experience, Susie has youthful beauty, and
Bunny, the victor, has cunning while not letting their own friendship, in the
final hour, be ruined. AURORA ISLAND creates a quartet of sharp protagonists and
proves that this is more than any script that needs to keep an engaging story
moving seamlessly. Having a lithe form, the script throws in just enough curves
and back-story to illuminate the motivations of the characters without
cluttering the simple story. From DH1.COM
