has anybody seen this yet??? has it been released in the US?
I used to love the book and cartoon so much!! Im very much looking forward to seeing this

I've never read it or anything, and didn't even know there was going to be a film until I saw Perez today:

I liked the book and the animated version. I wonder if they'll do this version justice. Plus Dakota's in it! Yay!

i'll probably go see it. it was one of my favorite books as a kid.

I have really high expectations for this movie and will definately go to the movies to see it..perhaps on a date or something besides i most definately feel obliged!!!..as one of my mates did the animation for it(he also worked on the new superman)..his opinion is that it kicks ass over the cartoon version but isnt superior to the book!!
but really what movie ever is???
I have great kiddy memorys of the cartoon (havent seen it in so long) but I actually read the book recently as soon as I knew he was working on it!!!

and i have to admit it made me cry and is pretty emotive & impressive...

the negative thing with me though is that i find... usually is that childhood memorys of movies or books often become distorted with a holier than thou attitude and in most cases i end up being really disapointed..ie i watched the dark crystal,pippy long stocking and return 2 oz recently and they by no means lived up to my expectations...then again those movies are old now and if re-hashed could be brilliant if portrayed well..
mehhh im am rambling....but to get back to topic I actually saw a preview for it tonight and i must admit im peeing my pants with excitment..the inner child in me say's YIPPEDITY DOO DAAAAAAAAA

Bump...it gets released here on teh 7th of december..so someone from the U.S must have seen it by now

ANYONE>!?"!?wfl<w~

it's not out in the US yet i don't think.

it's definitely not around here, anyways.

i'm gonna have a hell of a time convincing the boy to take me to this one

hmm how bizarre...I'm fairly sure it was filmed in oz..so maybe that's why it hasnt been released in the us???mehhh

*Edit*

Julia Roberts, Oprah Winfrey, John Cleese, Steve Buscemi, Cedric The Entertainer, Reba McEntire, Kathy Bates, Thomas Haden Church and Andre Benjamin (Andre 3000) are all aboard with Gary Winick (13 Going on 30) at the helm.

The feature is scheduled to begin production on January 31st in Melbourne, Australia and finds Julia Roberts in the lead role of Charlotte A. Cavatica, a spider and heroine of the book who goes out of her way to save Wilbur the pig's life by weaving miraculous words into her webs.

Oprah Winfrey will voice Gussy, the barn's maternal yet irreverent goose; John Cleese as Samuel the sheep; Steve Buscemi as the barn's sardonic Rat Templeton. Cedric The Entertainer will play opposite Oprah as the other Goose - Golly. Reba McEntire and Kathy Bates will voice the barn's ironic cows; Betsy and Bitsy and Thomas Haden Church will voice Brooks, one of two dimwitted crows opposite Andre Benjamin (Andre 3000) as Elwyn the other crow.

well, for sure, someone in the u.s. has seen it. i read a review from someone who went to a screening and he said there were people sobbing at the end.

and i think an oprah interview with cedric the entertainer, dakota and julia was just aired this wednesday.

I think the original film, as well as the book, is just fine without this new interloper. I refuse to watch any Dakota Fanning films until after she OD's.

Abstractor, did you not think Return to Oz was the fucking scariest shit ever? I watched it a couple of years ago and it scared me shitless! Also, Jack the Pumpkinhead thingo just made me think of Jack Skellington.

I saw that the other week you know. It's scary, but also really badly written and acted in parts. A collection of set pieces that don't hang together at all. I still think Fairuza Balk should post here.

Oh, and apparently she's fucked David Thewlis! I just wiki'ed.
