| Warner Bros. has finally found Harry Potter’s nemesis and it is not an aging fan base. WB has announced that Ralph Fiennes has been cast to play Lord Voldemort, the evil wizard who killed Harry’s parents and who has been out to kill Harry ever since his first attempt backfired horribly on him. Fiennes will play the dastardly wizard in the currently-in-production Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, the fourth in the series of Harry Potter stories. The studio also announced that Miranda Richardson will play the conniving reporter Rita Skeeter. BOP would also like to make a Potter-related announcement: There are officially no more jokes left to make about this franchise. |

Erika Christensen has been cast in the Touchstone feature film Flight Plan, the Jodie Foster starrer that has Foster playing a woman whose daughter mysteriously disappears during a commercial flight. While Touchstone did not say whether Christiansen would be playing Foster’s daughter, we’re guessing that if she won’t, Touchstone will get the boy that played Foster’s daughter in Panic Room. |
| Fahrenheit 9/11 will not be excluded from the 2005 Oscar race. What? You didn’t know that the film was in jeopardy of being disqualified from contention? It’s okay; neither did most of the rest of the world. The simultaneously famous and infamous documentary by Michael Moore was in danger of losing its eligibility for Oscar consideration when a Cuban television station aired a copy of the film. This breaks the nine-month television and Internet blackout AMPAS has in place for documentary features. A recent announcement has revealed that Lion’s Gate and F9/11 would not be punished due to the fact that broadcast was not licensed by the studio and in fact was broadcast from an illegally downloaded copy from the Internet. Oliver Stone’s film about the Republican conspiracy to leak the film to Cuba to keep it from winning an Oscar, thereby helping it make more money, will be eligible for next year’s Oscars but will likely be nominated for a Razzie instead. |
