Doctor Parnassus: First U.S. screening
A little bit of the Cannes Film Festival came to Los Angeles Tuesday night when U.S. sales rep Cinetic Media hosted the first domestic screening of The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus, Terry Gilliam’s highly anticipated movie featuring the last performance of Heath Ledger. (The film is scheduled to have its world premiere at Cannes later this month.)
SPOILER!!
Most bankable star of the season
Transformers and Terminator may have robots; Star Trek may have Spock. But none of them have Johnny Depp, the most bankable star of the season.
It’s blockbuster season, and Star Trek and Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen are the early favorites. But only Public Enemies has Johnny Depp.
Why does that matter? Because when it comes to the movies, Johnny Depp is the most adept actor appearing in a movie this summer at bringing success to a film, at least according to Hollywood’s power players.
Public Enemies to debut at LA FIlm Festival
With 200 features, shorts and music videos from 30 countries, Film Independent unveiled details for the 15th Los Angeles Film Festival, taking place June 18 – 28. New to this year?s narrative and documentary competitions are international premieres along with world and U.S. debuts.
This year?s narrative and documentary competitions include eight world premieres and three U.S. premieres. Director Michael Mann?s action-thriller, ?Public Enemies? will screen as LAFF?s Centerpiece premiere. The film stars Johnny Depp, Christian Bale, and Academy Award(R) winner Marion Cotillard in the story of legendary Depression-era outlaw John Dillinger (Depp).
New staffers ;-)
Thank you everybody for your applications! We got some nice people to write us willing to help.
When Ina (shaman-art) offered us to help, I said YES within a second, as she already is moderating in the forums and I know she’s the right girl. She already added some Artwork pics made by Johnny to the photosessions section 🙂
We now see if we still need a second helper and then decide from the other applications – which is the problem. They are all so nice and how shall I say “no” to one of them??
New staffer(s) needed!
I will have to nearly step back from the site due to personal reasons (good reasons) soon and so won’t have the time anymore to come here and do things on the site every day (I know, even now I have not enough time anymore). Sarfania also has far less time than before because of her job and cannot be online every day, so that Alexandra has all the trouble to add things fast alone.
Because of that, I’m looking for one or two new staffers with plenty of time, at least coming online once a day (holidays are allowed of course :-p). Because we need some allround-talents and not staffers managing one single section, you should have the following abilities:
– being interested in Johnny Depp of course!
– being interested in johnny-depp.org, too.
– (x)html and css
– ftp
– maybe php or at least easy things like php includes would be good
– how to convert images (make thumbs etc.)
– speak/write English good enough
– being a fast learner
– seeing yourself what needs to be done
– being interested to do it for longer and not only a week
You don’t need to be perfect in everything, just have some basic knowledge or at least an IDEA of it, so I don’t need to teach from zero, we’ll be there everytime you need us how things are to be done.
