Thanks so much for the thread babette! And all the articles!!!!

[valeposh]

Thanks for opening the new thread!!
And...great title!!!

[agiepagie07]

thanks babette for the new thread and articals-- should keep us busy reading um all!!

[blaab]

You're all welcome!

About those articles, they are like multiplying with the minute it seems, but the content of most is pretty much the same, but can edit out the casting articles in a while when there is more good stuff around. And well same goes for that 'picture moving thingy'. Once we get real pics ... or if someone makes a nice banner ...

And if anyone wants to suggest another title or something, let me know! Same goes for info to be added or edited! Or the lay-out or whatever ...

[Danke]

Thanks Blaab. omg, so many articles? we didn´t even know about this movie two days ago...

[JLarah]

Thanks for the thread, Blaab

God, so many articles already! This business moves fast!

I like that in everywhere it's "Kinear and Graham to star etc..." In EA the two main stars is SC and MF, and they are the ones most talked about. But in this movie the name of LG is appearing more. But probably one of the reasons is because they don't know the rest of the cast, yet, or at least, haven't announced them yet.

[blaab]

Well, the articles all pretty much say the same thing, only the CHUD.com one seems to have some more info in it about directors and all ...

Yeah, I like that too JLarah, let's hope it remains that way even if other actors get linked to this movie

[Gilmoregirl82]

ooh thanks for the thread...I don't know I have my head in the gutter today the title made me squeal for some reason - don't mind me I have a dirty mind this evening

[JLarah]

Oh, and I love the title. I think it's great. No reason to change it.

And I hope that too, Blaab. And you can call me Joana.

[LG rocks my socks]

Yay, a thread for the movie. I'm excited for the movie, esp. with all the new articles.

Thanks, blaab
