In the US, the number one movie of the weekend was THE BLIND SIDE, a football movie starring Sandra Bullock. As the film just earned $20.4 million in domestic theaters, it has already become a bit of a "box office phenomenon" since its target audience was originally "older females", as VARIETY reports. "Initially, the film's core audience was older. What we're finding now is that it is becoming a movie that people are finding age appropriate for kids 8 years and older," said Alcon's Broderick Johnson, who shares the CEO title with Andrew Kosove at Warner Bros. and Alcon Entertainment (more).

Jack Black is set to produce a feature-length animated film about cryptozoology (the study of animals whose existence has not been proven), and the project has already been preemptively picked up by Universal-based Illumination Entertainment. Borys Kit from ABC news has already suggested Bigfoot, the Yeti and the Loch Ness Monster as possible stars.

The British film director Julien Temple is making a film about the British rock band, The Kinks. The plot of his film, titled YOU'VE REALLY GOT ME, surrounds the tension between the band's brothers, Ray and Dave Davies, who formed the band in London in 1964. Ray Davies himself will be collaborating on the project with Temple, a director who tends to focus on the social history of Britian's scene, as his previous films include THE GREAT ROCK 'N' ROLL SWINDLE and OIL CITY CONFIDENTIAL (more).
