The WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2012 annual report for this blog.

Here’s an excerpt:

About 55,000 tourists visit Liechtenstein every year. This blog was viewed about 180,000 times in 2012. If it were Liechtenstein, it would take about 3 years for that many people to see it. Your blog had more visits than a small country in Europe!

Oz Trailer Here

Tom Hanks and Emma Thompson have begun shooting the newest film about the making of another film. This time it’s the making of Disney’s Mary Poppins. See below for more info. Sounds interesting.

The long-awaited, exceedingly expensive, modern-day version of the classic TV series, The Munsters has been littered with problems for awhile. That said, the pilot (Mockinbird Lane) will be trotted out for Halloween (good timing, huh?). Catch it if you can because I highly doubt it’ll take off as a  series (as originally planned), especially since production can’t make up their minds on which direction to take the show.

As promised, here’s the newly released trailer for Hitchcock, starring, Anthony Hopkins, Helen Mirren, Scarlet Johansson and Jessica Biel.

I was surprised to see how domineering Mirren is in her portrayal of Alma Hitchcock, but the banter between herself and Hitch looks witty and interesting. As for Hopkins as Hitchcock…if you look away, you’d swear it was Hitchcock talking. As usual, Anthony Hopkins doesn’t disappoint. I’m really looking forward to seeing more of this one.

Hitchcock will be released in the U.S. in November; Australia in January.

Hasn’t she come a long way? Now, Scar Jo plays Janet Leigh’s character, “Marion Crane” in the new film, Hitchcock, scheduled for a theatrical release early-2013 (in Australia). Alfred Hitchcock will be portrayed by Anthony Hopkins and his wife, Alma will be portrayed by Helen Mirren. Jessica Biel also stars, as Vera Miles. The film essentially studies the relationship between Hitchcock and his wife, all the while, we get a peek into a time when Hitchcock’s biggest hit, Psycho, is in production.

If done well, it has “Oscar nods” written all over it. A first look at Scarlett Johansson in costume and make up as Janet Leigh and playing her Psycho character, Marion Crane shows what good casting can do for a film portraying real-life stars of yesteryear. She looks eerily like Leigh. Now we await the trailer. I’ll post it here as soon as it becomes available.

*Quirky fact – Psycho was original filmed in colour…and the blood was chocolate syrup!

…is it just me, or does Nicole Kidman (seen in the photo below) coiffed to play (and look like) Grace Kelly just look like Nicole Kidman in dowdy clothes?! I’m not liking these first images at all. She looks nothing like Grace Kelly. The film, aptly titled, Grace of Monaco, is now shooting in Monaco.
