· Harvey Weinstein's favorite mistakes include smoking on an airplane without Kate Moss and passing on The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. [Newsweek]
· Al Pacino is having some tax trouble. [TMZ
· The producers who bought the rights to Blade Runner would like their film to be like a Christopher Nolan movie. Ideally, they would actually love Nolan to direct it! I imagine this is also the case for virtually every other Hollywood thriller currently in development. [io9]
