Here's some news from Variety...

Richard Attenborough has got the greenlight for "Closing the Ring," the 12th movie in his illustrious 34-year career as a helmer.
Ralph Kamp and Louise Goodsill's Odyssey Entertainment has boarded the $20 million project to handle worldwide sales, with co-finance coming from the Film Council's Premiere Fund and Baker Street.

The tireless Attenborough, 80 in August, is taking a sabbatical from his role as chairman of the giant Dragon Studios project in Wales to shoot the movie in September.

Pic is a romantic drama set in Belfast and North Carolina over two time periods -- 1943 and 1993. Shirley MacLaine, Dennis Hopper, Mena Suvari and Colin Hanks will star, with Brenda Blethyn, Peter O'Toole and Ryan Phillippe in talks to join them. Producer is Jo Gilbert.

Script by Peter Woodward was inspired by the fact that Belfast was the base for a U.S. bomber squadron in World War II. When a B-17 crashes near the city, the dying rear gunner asks a local to return his ring to his girlfriend back home. Half a century later, a young Belfast man finds the ring, learns its history and tracks down the old girlfriend, who turns out to have married the gunner's best friend.

While the WWII events are classic Attenborough territory, the contemporary sections of the movie will mark a rare departure for a director best known for his epic dramas of 20th-century history, such as his Oscar-winning "Gandhi."

"I've done so much period and historical stuff, it's rather exciting to get closer to the present day," Attenborough says. "Even at my age, I'll be using new muscles."

I'm not sure if some of you have ever heard of the show called "Project Greenlight" on HBO but it is a pretty cool contest held by Matt D. & Ben Affleck. Anyways what they do is show you how a film gets made starting at picking a script and then begging for money then the casting and after all that they show you how they film the movie.

Anyways I was reading the cast list and found this:

Quote:

Casting The Battle for Shaker Heights
See who was cast after both unknowns and well-knowns read for the parts
Updated Mon, Mar 3, 2003

Think you could be a casting director?
Read the screenplay (PDF) for the Project Greenlight winner The Battle of Shaker Heights, then take a look at our inside scoop to find out which actors and actresses read for the parts and which were cast.

Kelly Enswiler
17 years old, a senior at Shaker Heights High. Kelly is an extremely bright, albeit defensive, kid who likes to engage in WWII battle reenactments. Pretty much friendless until he meets up with Bart at one of the war games. Kelly clearly resents his parents, whose preoccupation with their own lives/difficulties have made him feel a bit of an outcast. A box boy at the local Shop Rite, Kelly is a charming, deft, clever, articulate, dry-witted young man, never at a loss for words. However, his easy gift of gab is couched in a powerless anger. Finally, in a cathartic moment, he is able to expunge the misplaced rage, the fights and the stubbornness.

Cast for the part:
Shia LaBeouf

Read for the part:
� Kieran Culkin � Jesse Eisenberg � Colin Hanks � Jesse Littlejohn � Trevor Fehrman � D.J. Qualls

Okay our Colin read for the part and lost it, BUT sometimes we get to see the people reading for the part they want so I'm hoping we might get a peek at Colin on the show.

I'll let you know.

I love Shia, but how did Colin lose to him? Sounds like a pretty interesting show though. Thank Cyn!!

**Sternbetrachter** · 05-21-2003, 01:30 PM

I've never heard of the guy who got the role!
THanks for the info!
