Writer/director Paul Haggis will be attending a screening of his film, Crash, at the Arclight Cinema in Hollywood on Novemeber 29th. This is part of the Hollywood's Master Storytellers program. Haggis will be there at the end of the screening to field questions from the interviewer and specific ones from the audience. Most guests stay for a brief period afterwards to sign autographs and speak with the audience. Questions concerning his rewrite of Casino Royale will certainly come up.

Any takers on coming to the screening. I'm sure it will sell out some time or another next month.

Someone needs to get this straighten up with a simple yes or no:

(something to this effect)

Is "Casino Royale" like "Batman Begins" and "The Sum of all Fears", whereon the continuity of the last set of films are "artisically" ignored and a new continuity begins? A simple YES or NO will suffice.

Please, PLEASE someone ask this, instead of the same questions we know the answers to. This question alone will tell more about the film than a stupid question like what he thinks of Daniel Craig (honestly you think he will have anything negative to say about him?).

Well Stratus if I end up going to the screening I will be sure to ask your question. It's actually one that I have wanted answered as well.

I'm interested in hearing if Felix Leiter and/or Rene Mathis is included. Hopefully someone asks him about it...

*cough* You couldn't drag me to see that film. It's like a tourture device.
Ry, have you seen my mini review of it on my web-site?

Argh I haven't seen your mini-review of the film. My guess is that it'll change my mind about seeing it. Not sure when the screenings starts. The Arclight webpage has not listed a time yet.

I would have loved to go and see if he mentioned anything about the upcoming film. Plus, I think Crash is a pretty good film, but nowhere near as good as Magnolia - to which it seems to get compared to a lot.
