EDITOR'S NOTE: ANY BABBLING OR TYPOS MUST BE FORGIVEN TODAY.....PRE-OPENING NIGHT JITTERS ARE GIVING THE QOTD A BIT OF A TREMOR.
LET'S CLEAR OUT SOME MOVIE NEWS BEFORE DEVOTING OURSELVES TO STAR WARS FOR THE REMAINDER OF TODAY'S DWEEBLOGGING.
Whedon is "Wonder Woman's" Man
It's official. Joss Whedon has been hired by Warner Bros. and Silver Pictures to write and direct the new "Wonder Woman" feature film.
Joel Silver and Leonard Goldberg will produce the film which is of course based on the DC Comics character created by William Moulton Marston.

SUPERMAN Filming Takes Off
Movie stars touch down in Tamworth
A TASTE of Hollywood came to Tamworth yesterday when the principal actors in the new Superman blockbuster touched down at the city's airport ahead of filming at the Breeza-based set today.
Little-known American actor Brandon Routh, who will play the Man of Steel in the Bryan Singer directed film, chose an F28 Skywest plane to get here rather than use his super powers.EDITOR'S NOTE: OH THAT WACKY AUSSIE WIT....The 25-year-old opted for casual clothes rather than the lycra tights he'll be used to wearing during filming on the set of the Kent family farm.
Joining him on the flight were 80-year-old Oscar-winning actress Eva Marie Saint, who will play Superman's earth mother Martha Kent and producer Chris Lee.
Routh was quickly ushered to a waiting 4WD by minders before being taken to a local motel where he will get some rest before donning the famous suit.
Superman Returns producer Chris Lee said the cast and crew were all looking forward to filming in the area.
"We're here to film for a couple of weeks," Chris said."Everyone involved in the film is very excited about filming in this area."
Some filming has already started at the Kent farm set with cameras suspended by cables connected to cranes seen hovering above the farmhouse, silos, corn fields and barn.All filming in the area will be conducted at two sites on the Breeza property, focusing around the Kent farm and the craft crash site, located away from the farm. A local gas company has been asked to supply 110 45kg gas cylinders for use in the opening scenes.It understood pyrotechnics will be used simulate the space craft, carrying Superman as a baby, crashing to earth.
Anime "Castle" Coming to U.S
HOWL'S MOVING CASTLE, the second-most popular film in Japanese history, has been set for a June 2005release here in the U.S. The film was directed by "Spirited Away's" Hayao Miyazaki.
The movie is based on the book by Diana Wynne Jones. The story centers on a teenager who is turned into a 90-year-old woman by a witch and then finds herself sharing a bizarre mobile castle with a sorcerer and a fire demon. EDITOR'S NOTE: THIS SOUNDS EXACTLY LIKE MY FRESHMAN DORM AT UNC! (I COULD SUE FOR ROYALTIES).
Christian Bale and Lauren Bacall will provide voices for this English-language version.
