The latest creation in the Ass-Covering Studio Excuses R&#38;D Dept. is the &#8220;Twitter Effect.&#8221; Movies aren&#8217;t making money, you see, because too many people are learning, 140 characters at a time, about how bad they are.

Well, one American hasn&#8217;t. That brain-damaged lady is still suing.

		<description><![CDATA[No one will confirm it, and considering the secrecy around the project, Universal may never disclose the rumoured seven-figure price tag accompanying its deal for Jonah Hill&#8217;s new screenplay Adventurer&#8217;s Handbook. Still &#8212; seven figures?

EW mentioned the whispers this afternoon, including the security measures surrounding yesterday&#8217;s circulation of the script (co-authored by Hill&#8217;s partner Max [...]]]></description>

&#8212;The announcement arrived this morning, with Disney slotting six &#8216;Works films per year, as per its usual. The first will arrive next year under the Touchstone banner, and Disney has [...]]]></description>

Nikki Finke had word this morning that Variety and others have since confirmed: The Works&#8217;s loan-heavy, $US1.25 billion financing package isn&#8217;t coming through after all, [...]]]></description>
