MEG Movie Update
|
 Jon Turtletaub (National Treasure) has replaced Eli Roth as the MEG director. Jon has experience working with big budget movies and is incredibly excited about doing MEG. He wants the movie to be tense, fun, and scientifically accurate. I love him already. (see photo of Jon holding up the new MEG book!) For the record, I think the world of Eli Roth and sincerely hope he gets involved in a future Alten project.

MEG: Nightstalkers - PREORDER NOW!
|
 Having just completed the final edit, I now humbly believe that the NIGHTSTALKERS is the BEST of the MEG series! I'm not just hyping it; when I was editing I hated taking bathroom breaks. What makes it so good are the characters, both human and monsters.

Joke of the Month:
|
 A worldwide survey was conducted by the UN. The only question asked was: "Would you please give your honest opinion about solutions to the food shortage in the rest of the world?" The survey was a huge failure. In Africa they didn't know what "food" meant. In Eastern Europe they didn't know what "honest" meant. In Western Europe they didn't know what "shortage" meant. In China they didn't know what "opinion" meant. In the Middle East they didn't know what "solution" meant. In South America they didn't know what "please" meant. And in the USA they didn't know what "the rest of the world" meant. IF YOU HAVE A JOKE OR VIDEO YOU WOULD LIKE TO SHARE, please e-mail to me at [email protected] Put JOKE in the subject line.
