11/01/2006: "Interesting . . ."

The NYTimes reported yesterday that a new film will be madde from a film treatment by Stanley Kubrick commissioned in the late 50's - story here.

Even more interesting is that they signed a relatively unknown director - Chris Palmer. I work in commercial production, so the name is actually quite familiar. Chris is repped by Anonymous Content /Gorgeous the same company that represents other big feature film/commercial directors like David Fincher, Mark Romanek and Wong Kar -Wai. One of my favorite commercials by Palmer is a spot he did for Nike - Tennis Instructor, but some of you may recognize the spot he did for Sky One, where he shot the a live-action version of The Simpsons opening . . . .
