It’s a small update today, but everyday can’t be busy in France can it?

GIAMATTI VOICING ZOMBIE TOON
SAW III SET FOR OCT. 31
Oddly enough Lionsgate made the announcement that Saw III will be released on October 31, but wherever it’s announced I am sure fans are sure to listen.

Along with the release date we learn that Lionsgate will also be releasing a special director’s cut DVD package earlier in the month.

Saw III began shooting May 8 in Toronto and should finish by the end of June or early July on a rumored budget of more than $10 million — more than the first two films combined.

BESSON PLANNING ARTHUR 2 & 3
Luc Besson‘s CGI-animated feature Arthur and the Minimoys is set to hit theaters on December 25 and while at Cannes the director announced that he has plans to make a second and third installment of his big-budget 3-D animation/live action movie.

The first pic was budgeted at about $80 million making it the most costly European animation ever by some margin.

The feature recounts how a 10-year-old named Arthur falls into the secret world of the Minimoys, where he meets Princess Selenia and her brother, who help him on a mission to save his grandmother.

The Weintein Co. is distributing the flick here in the States.
