You can tell it's the holiday season as most everyone that plays in the internet world of film has dialed their coverage back a bit over the last week or so. Consequently, this morning's post is a bit under-sized.

DJANGO FUNCHAINED
I got a little crazy yesterday and had some fun vis-a-vis the success of Quentin Tarantino's latest "Django Unchained". If you have an interest check Twitter and the hashtag #tarantinosequels.

COMING ATTRACTIONS: BIRDMAN
News was bandied about three weeks ago that writer/director and frequent Telluride Film Festival player (Babel, Biutiful) Alejandro Gonzalez Inarittu has been attached to co-write and direct a comedy, of all things. Filming reportedly will begin in March which means that should Inarritu make his third straight film that is a part of The SHOW we shouldn't expect to see it until TFF #41 in 2014.
Here are posts from Variety, The Playlist and The Hollywood Reporter:
