*Herzog is in the process of making a feature film with Christian Bale.

*Victor Erice's fourth film titled "La promesa de Shanghai" (based on the novel "El embrujo de Shanghai") was abondoned because the producer objected to the length of the script which was destined to become a 3 hr film. Unbelievable.

Bela Tarr can't finish his latest because the producer died.

*I agree with you on The Man Without a Past.

*I was scared by Mulholland Drive. No, really.

*Kiarostami made a film with Ken Loach and Ermanno Olmi called Tickets.

Let's just hope that the great filmmakers of today get the support they need to do what they want.
