21 APRIL 2008.- AFI CELEBRATES 50TH BIRTHDAY WITH "GALLIPOLI"

"GALLIPOLI"
Source: Heral Sun
The AFI is celebrating its 50th birthday with two free screenings of the classic award-winning film, Gallipoli in Federation Square on Anzac Day.
There has to be a purpose to the string of medals decorating 1981 film Gallipoli. The epic drama won eight Australian Film Institute awards, including best film, best director for Peter Weir and best actor for Mel Gibson.
Herald Sun readers last month voted it the best Australian-made film of all time, beating Eric Bana's Chopper, Muriel's Wedding and Mad Max 2.
The film is screened nightly at the hostels and hotels of Turkey's tourist drawcard of Gallipoli.
No wonder the AFI, to mark its 50th anniversary, is screening it free in Federation Square on Anzac Day.
Playwright David Williamson, who rates the screenplay among his greatest writing achievements, considers it an important historical document -- with a lesson.
"Something like a third of all young Australian men of eligible age were either wounded or killed in that war. It was a cataclysmic event for Australia," he says. "The power of the film is in showing just how awful and senseless that First World War slaughter was . . . it's an indictment of blackness in the human psyche.
"The Germans, the English, the French and the Russians could have sat down and thrashed out their differences in half a day.
"We're still doing it, still sending people to death. Everywhere the nightmare passions of human irrationality are still on display."
Why the $2.5 million film, funded largely by the R&R Films production company of Rupert Murdoch and Robert Stigwood, has entrenched its place in the national psyche is as compelling.
The blind obedience of the men who charged into their deaths haunts Williamson.
"These young men were so imbued with duty that they would obey to a man a senseless order to run straight into machinegun fire," Williamson says.
"I can't imagine the youth of today, I can't imagine generation Y, saying, 'Yes, sir', and leaping up and racing out to certain death.
"That's what is powerful. It's something we cannot comprehend today. I hope the younger viewers will be horrified by it and think, 'How dare our leaders allow us to suffer this sort of fate'."
Williamson had the privilege of meeting Gallipoli veterans while researching the film, which traces the story of best mates Frank Dunne (Gibson) and Archy Hamilton (Mark Lee), who crossed oceans, climbed the Pyramids and walked to their date with destiny.
The film's climax is the bloody charge at the Nek on August 7, 1915. Not one of Williamson's interviewees glorified it.
"They said it was horrible, brutal and senseless, and the only thing that kept them going was loyalty to their fellow soldiers. They couldn't let them down."
The man behind Don's Party and Brilliant Lies, Williamson is making last-minute adjustments to his new play Scarlett O'Hara at the Crimson Parrot for the Melbourne Theatre Company. He finally made it to Gallipoli five years ago.
He huddled low in his seat for anonymity as his tour group sat through a screening of the film.
He was deeply moved, as he is every time he sees it, and astonished by young Australians who knew the lines he had written.

24 APRIL 2008.- UNGRATEFULNESS OR SILLINESS???
William Wallace Statue
Source: Daily Record
A controversial statue of William Wallace is set to be removed - and given to tycoon Donald Trump.
The artwork at the Wallace Monument is often ridiculed because it looks more like actor Mel Gibson in Braveheart than Wallace himself.
After more than 10 years, the 13ft high statue is to be removed from the foot of the monument in Stirling so a tourist centre can be built.
Sculptor Tom Church has offered it to the Trump Organisation for their proposed £1billion golf resort on the Menie estate, near Aberdeen.
Tom said: "It would make an ideal centrepiece at the big hotel Trump is going to be building.
"It has got the history, the presence and the legend and would be a real show-stopper."
The statue caused furore when it was unveiled in 1997 because of its resemblance to Gibson's portrayal of Wallace in the 1995 film Braveheart.
It even has "Braveheart" emblazoned on the shield.
Wallace expert Dr James Boland welcomed the proposal to get rid of the statue.
He said: "If Trump wants the statue, he can have it. It serves no real purpose at the National Wallace Monument as it seems to commemorate Mel Gibson and his atrocious film more than Wallace."
But Tony Burns, who works at the monument, said the statue would be missed. He said: "Foreign tourists love it."

27 APRIL 2008.- THE A TEAM
CRUMBS!!! WHAT A SURPRISE!
Source: C21
Almost 100 hours of NBC Universal's (NBCU) classic 1980s action drama The A Team are winging their way back into the UK, where they will begin airing in daytime on cable and satellite screens from May.
Virgin Media Television-owned men's entertainment channel Bravo has acquired all five seasons of the show – amounting to 98 episodes – which the cabsat channel's controller Dave Clarke described as "the daddy of 80s action series."
Bravo's acquisition manager Ronan Hand acquired the show for a lunchtime slot, through Lizzie Avery, director of sales liaison at NBCU International Television. The show ran for five seasons on the NBC network, from 1983 to 1986.
The pick-up comes after Mr T's return to TV screens in reality show I Pity the Fool and various commercials, and the planned movie that is being produced for 2009. Jim Carrey, Ving Rhames, Mel Gibson and Christian Bale are to star in the remake.

28 APRIL 2008.- MEL VISITED A PRISON IN VERACRUZ
Mel in Veracruz, we think.
Mel Gibson has visited a prison in Mexico's Gulf coast state of Veracruz where local officials said he is scouting locations for a new movie.
Gibson has declined to explain what he is doing, jokingly telling reporters outside Veracruz's Ignacio Allende prison on Sunday that it is hard for him to speak in front of microphones.
But the Veracruz state director of cinema says the purpose of yesterday's visit is to see locations.
Prospero Rebolledo says Gibson's people are just looking for locations for a film, "there is no script, right now they are looking precisely for places to do it."
Gibson filmed his 2006 film Apocalypto in another part of Veracruz.

29 APRIL 2008.- "EDGE OF DARKNESS"

Source: Variety
Mel Gibson has committed to star in "Edge of Darkness," marking his first starring role in a feature film since he headlined "Signs" and "We Were Soldiers" in 2002.
Martin Campbell will direct the feature adaptation of the six-hour 1985 BBC miniseries, which Campbell also helmed.
William Monahan wrote the script, and Graham King is producing through his GK Films banner. Michael Wearing, who produced the original, will also produce, and the BBC will be involved in a producing capacity.
Campbell, who last directed "Casino Royale," developed the project and brought it to King a year ago. He enlisted Monahan for a page one rewrite; the scribe worked with King on "The Departed." King is self-financing the project and is committed to an August production start in Boston. It is unclear whether he will fully finance through production or enlist a studio.
Gibson will play a straitlaced police investigator whose activist daughter is killed. He plunges into the case and uncovers systemic corruption that led to his daughter's death.
Gibson had long been a fan of the mini and was receptive when King and Campbell approached him several months ago.
Before "Signs" and "We Were Soldiers," Gibson starred in 2000's "What Women Want" and "The Patriot." Subsequently, he concentrated on directing, with "The Passion of the Christ" in 2004 and "Apocalypto" in 2006.
While Gibson has stayed under the radar after controversy sparked in 2006, he has continued to be offered acting vehicles, and he came close to accepting on several occasions, including "Under and Alone," a fact-based drama still in development at Warner Bros.
At a time when supposedly proven stars aren't translating to opening weekends, films that Gibson starred in and directed have grossed north of $5 billion worldwide.
King and Monahan won Oscars for "The Departed," and the producer recently made a first-look deal with the writer, who has taken residence in GK headquarters. Among the projects on which Monahan and King are collaborating is the Paramount-based true story of Jim Keene, who traded a prison sentence to go undercover at a maximum-security hospital for the criminally insane. King will produce that film with Alexandra Milchan, based on an upcoming Playboy magazine article by Keene and writer Hillel Levin.
