  • The Hollywood Premiere for Pixar’s Ratatouille was this weekend and LaughingPlace.com should have its report up soon. Plenty of reports coming in from those who have seen early screenings of Pixar’s Ratatouille. Couldn’t find anyone who wasn’t impressed. Even Rotten Tomatoes is unanimous.
  • Movie City News has a ‘lunch’ with Ratatouille composer Michael Giacchino and video blogged it for our benefit. You can also see Michael’s work in this Disney/Pixar behind the scenes video.
  • Variety pens the story of Pixar’s complete take over of the Walt Disney Company animation process. Really a return to the ways of Walt Disney.
  • Cinema Blend reports to have the scoop on a few plot details for fourth movie in the Pirates Of The Caribbean series. Apparently the future films will focus on the Captain Jack character to the exclusion of the regulars we’re used to seeing. Johnny Depp might get as much as $40 million to make the next film.
