Movie News

Two interesting bits of movie news this week.

The following voice casting has been attached to Aardman Animation's next film Arthur Christmas: James McAvoy, Hugh Laurie, Jim Broadbent, Bill Nighy and Imelda Staunton. Due out for the 2011 Holidays.

Leonardo Dicarpio may star as the mass murder in the the film adaptation of Erik Larson's novel The Devil in the White City. Seems the film still has a long way to go before it goes to production though, and no word on who will play Daniel Burnham. It will take some work to distill this book into a movie. The story revolves around the 1893 Chicago World's Fair. I am interested to see this recreated on film.

A few post card images from the fair, where the souvenir picture post card made it's debut.

  1. I can't help but think that they may possibly distill the story down to just the H.H. Holmes tale and excise the Burnham part altogether.
