5 Amigos?

Children of Men Movie news junkies will have heard, but Guillermo del Toro, Alejandro González Iñárritu, Alfonso Cuarón and his younger brother, Carlos, and Rodrigo García (director of Passengers and son of Gabriel García Márquez) "are quietly shopping themselves to Hollywood in an all-or-nothing, five-picture deal," reported Lorenza Muñoz and Claudia Eller in the Los Angeles Times yesterday. "The price tag: as much as $100 million."

A serviceable news hook for mentioning these two items: In nthposition, Robert Philbin considers "Globalism and the films of Alejandro González Iñárritu." And in Film International, Bryan Nixon examines Cuarón's use of long takes in Children of Men (warning: spoilers).

Update: Vinyl Is Heavy knew how to celebrate on Saturday. Thanks, Brian!

Seems like an appropriate place to point out Cinco de Vinyl.
