On August 7, “CAO The Sopranos Edition,” will make its world premiere at the RTDA 73rd Annual Convention and International Trade Show in New Orleans.

CAO The Sopranos Edition marks the first time that Home Box Office has officially licensed a cigar to be made to commemorate the award-winning series. “Both HBO and CAO stand for high quality and innovative products in their respective fields,” stated Richard Oren, HBO Director of Licensing. “It just made sense for us to develop a cigar line around The Sopranos® series with CAO; they have the expertise, quality, and creativity to make this a successful part of our licensing business.”

The highly-acclaimed series, winner of seventeen Emmy® Awards and five Golden Globes, will return to the air for its sixth season starting in March 2006. The limited edition cigar is a bold, full-bodied blend featuring a Brazilian Mata Fina wrapper, Honduran binder, and an exotic mix of fillers from Nicaragua, Dominican Republic, and Colombia.

CAO The Sopranos Edition will be packaged in 20 count boxes, and will be available in three sizes: “Associate” (5” x 52), “Soldier” (6” x 54), and “Boss” (7” x 56). Ask your local retail tobacconist about this very special commemorative cigar that will be a must-have for CAO aficionados and fans of The Sopranos® alike!

Julie Adams and Ben Chapman
FilmFanZine.com, a Dutch Sci-Fi and Horror website, reports that Bill Paxton will star in a remake of the 1954 The Creature from the Black Lagoon.

A remake of 1954`s Creature From the Black Lagoon will star Bill Paxton. The Da Vinci Code - director Ron Howard will helm the project for Universal.

Howard has worked with Paxton earlier in his Apollo 13.

Howard said to CNN that he would like to do another space movie sometime, after the historial film Apollo 13, he would love to do something action/adventure driven. Howard has also directed films as A Beautiful Mind, Willow and Backdraft. Bill Paxton is known for films as Titanic, Aliens, The Terminator (all directed by his friend James Cameron), and Frailty (picture) which he also directed.

The Creature From Black Lagoon is about a scientific expedition searching for fossils along the Amazon River. They discover a prehistoric Gill-Man in the legendary Black Lagoon. The explorers capture the mysterious creature, but it breaks free. The Gill-Man returns to kidnap the lovely Kay, fiancée of one of the expedition, with whom it has fallen in love.

There are some new photos online from the recent filming in London over the past couple of days:

The World Entertainment News Network
site has a second collection up with four pages of small photos (the
large ones are not available except as highly watermarked files)
including Tennant and Piper leaving the TARDIS, Billie under an
umbrella, and Noel Clarke, all in a rainy environment (possibly the
opening of the Christmas special).

The Czech Isifa Photo
service (again reproducing images from the international Splash News
celebrity picture service) has added more images including a
snow-dusted TARDIS, Piper and Clarke running, Coduri and Tennant
outside the TARDIS (again, images watermarked by the photo service).

Our friends at David-tennant.com have a selection of small photos taken of Tennant and Piper together.

The Unit News

site has a collection of photographs taken at the Brandon Estate, site
of Jackie and Rose’s flat used in the first series and again in the
Christmas special.

UPDATE 2030 GMT: Another site, Xposurephotos (yet another news photograph site) has more pictures online from the filming over the past several days.

Details of the object are still sketchy. It never comes closer to the Sun than Neptune and spends most of its time much further out than Pluto.

It is one of the largest objects ever found in the outer Solar System…

The first photos taken from location work on the second series of Doctor Who have made their way to the Internet: what appears to be a Czech photo archive of David Tennant pictures from the Splash News photo service, including pictures of Tennant and Piper rehearsing and some eerily decorated Santas that appear to be aliens or zombies beneath. The photos can be found by clicking here; the first 13 in the set are the ones from this filming, with other shots of Tennant in other locales. (Don’t bother registering for larger photos; you won’t be able to gain entry.)

Studios spent more than $631 million in 2003 on film prints for the North American market alone, according to the Motion Picture Association of America. Subtracting reels from that equation could reduce total distribution costs by as much as 90 percent, according to U.K. digital cinema analyst Patrick von Sychowski. Add in costs for overseas distribution and exhibition, and the move from prints to digital files could mean an eventual annual savings of up to $900 million.
