This week in stuff

Finally, a nifty trailer for Charlie Kaufman's Synecdoche. Apparently the movie confounded a number of people over the last few months at festivals, but it looks like the studio has a good understanding of how to promote this.

It's nice to see Seth Rogen flexing his chops a little, andhis next project looks like a ton of fun. Hot off completion of Kevin Smith's Zack and Miri Make a Porno comes the announcement that Stephen Chow, actor/director the great Shaolin Soccer and Kung Fu Hustle, will direct the Rogen/Evan Goldberg-penned Green Hornet.

Charles Burns, author of the amazing Black Hole (a film version of which David Fincher is attached to), took part in this great looking animated horror-omnibus featuring five graphic novel artist/writers.

Heath Ledger's true last movie, Terry Gilliam's The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus, is finally getting a little promotion here.
