Monday 7th April 2003: Company Confidential Update:
Just received the following information on Company Confidential " DIRECTOR: Matt Damon

CAST: Ben Affleck, Jennifer Lopez, Alec Baldwin, Robin Williams, Jennifer Garner, Paul Sorvino and Wilford Brimley

BASED ON: COMPANY CONFIDENTIAL, a novel by Tom McCrory

OFFICIAL SITE: www.TomMcCrory.com

PREMISE/SYNOPSIS: In this suspenseful corporate thriller from Tom McCrory, women are objects and men are pawns at Campbell Industries in Los Angeles. The ground-rules for survival in this hostile workplace have long been established. If you value your paycheck, never question authority. In this environment, "yes-men" prosper, and for female employees, there is no such thing as an unwelcome sexual advance.

"The two lead characters are perfect for us," Affleck told a source. Ben would play Scott Murphy, a young executive, and Jennifer would play New Orleans bred beauty Lisa LeDoux. With all the scandals going on in corporate America, Ben feels the timing for this film couldn't be better, said the source. The novel is set in Los Angeles and New Orleans. Ben will modify the novel for the big screen, but said the love story between his character and J.Lo's would remain intact." Thanks to Anon!

racist apartheid rule in South Africa in an attempt to heal the wounds of
apartheid. Maintaining that the country couldn't move into a peaceful future
without understanding its past, amnesty was granted to perpetrators willing
to tell the truth about their crimes. “The film is about the horror,'' said
Binoche. Boorman has told reporters that the movie would do justice to the
country's painful past. “Everyone is conscious of what the (commission) has
been for South Africa in this period of transition,'' he commented. “We are
determined to make it as accurate and serious as we can.”

out of people with rock music in the background. I think it would be cool."

one, because he goes and gets his revenge, and then he goes back to death
land."

They had parts of the sand blocked off... there were two characters who stood on the pier and jumped off onto the sand below- each at separate times-, a wire was attached to the back and connected to a crane. They were dressed in black jeans and a leather jacket similar to that of the 50's style rebel look. Once they landed in the sand they would take the stance of like a zombie or warewolf, looking around for something. Then there was another scene where one of them was digging in the sand, they started around 7 pm and I left around 9:30 and they were still filming away.

Monday 7th April 2003: Die Hard 4: Die Hardest Update:
Producer Arnold Rifkin has been talking about the possibility of making a
Die Hard 4 with Bruce Willis. “We want to do it, and we are in active
pursuit,” he said in an interview. “We have probably met with 30 writers,
and the biggest questions that you ask yourself, because one day if we do do
it we'll be sitting here with you, and you're going to say why did you this
movie? So, the reality is, who is he? It's eight years later. What is he
doing, what happened when he was rebellious, he was never within the system,
and you can't have him in the right place at the wrong time again. What
would make sense to any of you that you would be willing to accept that he's
now doing this again? Because he ain't leaping from buildings, we've done
planes, we've done buildings. What is it you do? You don't want to do
terrorists, because then we're going to sit here and you're going to say,
'Wasn't that irresponsible of you to put terrorists back in the White
House?' Or do you want to put terrorists in Yankee Stadium, where the
biggest event is? And that's unfortunately what people, writers come up
with. So we will do it if the right story comes."
