Ok... So I actually lived out a horror film yesterday... I had a flight out of LA at 9:22 to Toronto... I had a car picking me up at 6:00am.... Lets cut to 7:30 that morning and I roll of my couch... I passed out watching LOST episodes I Tivoed and forgot to set an ALARM... So I FREAK quickly grab my bags - and my two pets and FLY out the door...

7:35 - I am curbside and as luck would have it the driver is still out there patiently waiting... He calmly exits the car and says "Late night sir..." to which I respond "Pretend your James Bond driving in a high speed chase and get me to LAX"

7:36 - HIGH SPEED DRIVING BEGINS - twisting and turning through North Hollywood...

7:37 - GRIDLOCK TRAFFIC... We aint moving...

So now there is no way in hell we are getting from Studio City to LAX by 9:22 let alone the one hour prior I need for check in... I fall back against the seat exasperated and sigh... The driver tilts his mirror a little to get a good look at me...

"You okay" he asks...

I respond "Afraid I missed my flight"

He smiles and goes - I used to be in the military and I am never late... and with that my man went into hyper drive taking back streets, dirt roads and gravel paths...

8:45 arrive at LAX (keep in mind my flight leaves at 9:22) I bolt from the car after hugging the driver who has now become my best friend (side note - if I ever plan a heist he will be my driver) and rush to the terminal...

8:46 MASSIVE LINE - I panic... Not making my flight... not making my flight... not making my flight... THEN A VOICE... the voice of angel??? no not an angel... I know this voice... THE DRIVER????

"MY MAN HAS A FLIGHT TO MAKE - MY MAN HAS A FLIGHT TO MAKE make room people... and with that the driver pushes his way through the crowd, and SOMEHOW gets me to the front of the line...

8:48 TICKET COUNTER... I show my passport - the ticket lady looks at her watch - "Sir that flight is already boarding..." she sees the pain in my eyes... then turns to see the "don't fuck with me" look in the drivers eyes... "Ok... we have to hurry... Put we have a small problem..."

"What problem" I ask...

"It's to cold to board your dog in CARGO..."

Now people - You have all met my dog CHANCE in a previous blogg... Now meet my cat ZOE...


Don't let the picture fool you... She is an angry bitter cat who sometimes I believe is plotting my death...

So in one hand I have my cat... in the other my dog...

"Well sir, all I can offer is that you take one pet on as a carry on item and have the other sent to you at a later time..." the ticket lady says.

So I stand - at a crossroads... which child do I pick... The cute puppy who is still just a baby??? Or the cat who will kill in my sleep if I anger her in any way?

8:50 - My heart breaks as I make my choice...

8:51 - I hand the other pet to the driver who is to bring it to Evolution to deal with sending it to me...

9:00 - Bags are checked...

9:10 - Make it through security...

9:15 - Make it on the plane...

So... which animal did I choose????


So yes, Darren is back in toronto getting the pre-production of SAW III started.

LIONSGATE AND TWISTED PICTURES ANNOUNCE SAW III FOR HALLOWEEN 2006

Original Creative Team Reunited For Next Film In Twisted And Lionsgate’s Saw Franchise; Film to be Dedicated to Late Twisted Pictures Principal And Saw Producer Gregg Hoffman

Saw Franchise Has Grossed Nearly $250 Million In Worldwide Box Office And Sold Nearly 10 Million DVD’s To Date For Lionsgate

SANTA MONICA, CA, and VANCOUVER, BC, March 2, 2006 – Lionsgate (NYSE and TSX: LGF), the leading independent filmed entertainment studio, and Twisted Pictures today announced plans to develop and produce Saw III, the next film in the psychologically intense and disturbing horror franchise, for an October 27, 2006 wide release. The film will be directed by Darren Lynn Bousman (Saw II), with story by Leigh Whannell and James Wan (Saw, Saw II) and screenplay by Whannell. (Note from Lee[Owner of SAW the Blog]: THIS IS GOING TO BE AWESOME) The Twisted Pictures team of Mark Burg and Oren Koules will return as producers with Whannell and Wan set to executive produce. The announcement was made by Peter Block, Lionsgate President of Acquisitions and Co-productions, Jason Constantine, Lionsgate Senior VP of Acquisitions, and the Twisted Pictures team of Mark Burg and Oren Koules.

Saw II set a Lionsgate record with a three-day opening weekend of $31.7 million last Halloween, becoming the widest release in Lionsgate history and achieving one of the best opening weekends ever for a horror sequel. With a domestic box office of over $87 million and more than $148 million in worldwide theatrical box office, Saw II easily eclipsed the $55 million domestic box office total of the original Saw. Saw and Saw II have grossed nearly $250 million in combined worldwide box office.

Saw II debuted as the #1 DVD in North America two weeks ago, becoming the fastest-selling theatrical DVD release in Lionsgate history with 3.9 million units sold in its first week alone. The movie was also released on VHS and UMD. The Saw franchise has sold nearly 10 million units to date for Lionsgate.

“Yes, there will be more blood,” said Block and Constantine. “Saw III will involve the same creative forces responsible for the tremendous success of Saw II. The Twisted team of Mark and Oren, along with Darren, James and Leigh, have all agreed to be prominently involved in Saw III. We are proud to be partnered with some of the most disturbing creative talents on the planet, and the Saw franchise will ensure that gore becomes every bit as much a Halloween staple as ghosts, goblins and candy corn.” Block noted that the film will be dedicated to Twisted Pictures principal and Saw producer Gregg Hoffman, who passed away in November 2005.

“We have been discussing story lines that extend the Saw franchise to new limits and beyond with Lionsgate for the past several months,” said Burg and Koules. “The most important element of any franchise is remaining true to the roots of its success. We believe that we are developing a script that is certain to please the Saw franchise’s core fans while adding fresh, terrifying and unimaginable new twists to the Saw saga. Jigsaw himself would be proud.”

Saw III joins an upcoming Lionsgate slate that includes Trent Cooper’s Larry The Cable Guy: Health Inspector (March 24), the inspirational Akeelah And The Bee, starring Laurence Fishburne, Angela Bassett and Keke Palmer (April 28), the provocative Sundance sensation Hard Candy (April), Lionsgate’s first entry in the Spanish-language feature film marketplace, La Mujer de mi Hermano, starring telenovela sensation Barbara Mori (April) and the horror film See No Evil, starring WWE superstar Kane (May 19).

Lionsgate is the premier independent producer and distributor of motion pictures, television programming, home entertainment, family entertainment and video-on-demand content. Its prestigious and prolific library is a valuable source of recurring revenue and a foundation for the growth of the Company’s core businesses. The Lionsgate brand is synonymous with original, daring, quality entertainment in markets around the globe.
Twisted Pictures is helmed by Mark Burg and Oren Koules. Saw, one of the most profitable films of 2004, was their first picture under the new label and was also distributed by Lionsgate. Twisted is currently in postproduction on Catacombs, the first film under the previously-announced nine-picture deal between Twisted and Lionsgate, and is in production on Silence for Universal Pictures.
