Cool new Parnassus art

Posted 17 years ago

I will admit that THE IMAGINARIUM OF DR. PARNASSUS is a difficult film to market. The concept of the film is difficult to relate on a one-sheet and so far they’ve relegated themselves to just slapping as many famous faces...

PGA noms announced

Posted 17 years ago

I don’t like to waste all your time with the countless nominations and lists by all the critics groups and professional associations out there. In the end, they usually mean very little. But the Producers Guild of America (PGA) is...

Posted 17 years ago
