More information on Clocktower shoot
Spielberg making “Movie Magic” for Japanese visitors
Army Archerd at Daily Variety has provided a bit more information on the Steven Spielberg film shot last week at Universal on the Hill Valley set. Most of this we had gathered already, but it's nice to see it officially in print:
Steven Spielberg was in front of the cameras for a change — for a film that will welcome visitors to the Universal theme park to open in Japan in a year.
Spielberg, in a 20-minute film, will be the first attraction visitors will see in the park as he introduces them to what they will see inside. Of course, some the attractions will be from Spielberg pix such as Jurassic Park. Other attractions based on his pix that have been/continue to be featured in the Universal parks include E.T., Back to the Future and Jaws, all smash hits in Japan.
He is not scheduled to start filming Memoirs of a Geisha until next year, on L.A. stages.
We now know that the title of the 20-minute film is officially called "Movie Magic", and according to the call sheet we've obtained from the shoot, the preshow movie was filmed over the course of five days. There were no cast involved in the Courthouse Square portion, which is unfortunate because both Christopher Lloyd and Mary Steenburgen were in Los Angeles at the time shooting Wish You Were Dead for New Line Cinema. It would have been a nice touch.
The latest News on Huey Lewis
Our friends over at the Newsline II Fan Club have informed us that Huey Lewis and the News will sing the National Anthem at the San Francisco 49ers game on Sunday, October 3. No word yet as to whether their intro will be televised or not.
Also, the band's 20th Anniversary concert originally scheduled for October 9 has been canceled, as has many of their September concert stops. Some of these were due to Hurricane Floyd, but why others that weren't affected were canceled is unclear.
Huey and the guys have recently finished recording their latest album, which is currently being mixed. According to the HLN Today website, the album is slated for release next March.
