bury me in this dress

Coraline, a children’s book written by Neil Gaiman, is being turned into a stop animation movie. I learned about the movie from Jungzx who plurked about it. I liked Coraline a lot. I even had Neil sign my copy when he was here. Anyway, I went to the Coraline website and got annoyed when it asked me to enter key codes to access the goodies. I googled for the key codes and I’m sharing it here for everyone’s convenience.

There are no clues even!

Enter the following key words:

stopmotion - the biggest smallest movie ever made
buttoneyes - cast
moustachio - short animation of a man’s mustache
armpithair - the hairs in the movie
puppetlove - Director Henry Selick talks about his love of puppets
sweaterxxs - the clothes of the puppets

I got the codes from this site. The film is going to be shown on February 2009. I’m not sure if it will be released in Philippine shores though.

The first book of the Twilight Series by Stephenie Meyer is going to have a film version which will be shown at the end of this year. I’m addicted to the books and there’s a big chance that I might get disappointed with the film version. I mean, in my imagination, the Cullens and Bella Swan look so much different from the actors chosen to portray them. Hmm, actually I’m pretty sure I’ll be disappointed with the film just like I was disappointed with the Harry Potter and Bridget Jones movies. Still, I will watch Twilight on the big screen if it gets released in the Philippines.

Robert Pattinson (Cedric Diggory in Harry Potter) was cast as Edward Cullen. He’s handsome but my imagined Edward Cullen is dreamier. Now that I’ve seen the trailer and some video clips, my imagined Edward is gone and is now replaced by Pattinson. Oh well. I can’t really do anything about it.

Here’s a video about the cast of the movie.

The teaser posted on the Hana Yori Dango Final website! Yay!

So the movie’s release is June 8. I can’t wait to watch it!!!!
