Coming from Europacorp, Lockout is being referred to widely as Luc Besson‘s new film, and I guess it is, as he’s a producer and co-writer on the pic. But Besson isn’t the director – this is in fact the feature debut of Stephen Saint Leger and James Mather, or as they are credited, Saint and…
Just when I thought The Artist couldn’t pick up any more buzz, along comes this blooper reel which blasts it even further into the hyposphere. Not literal buzz, of course, because this preview of the film’s French DVD special features is even more “silent” than the film was.

Thanks to Little Bleeder Tom who dropped me an e-mail, saying: I’ve been following the slow reveal of the Amazing Spider-Man’s Lizard…
