MARY MOTHER OF CHRIST is a biblical epic, youth based action drama biopic that will appeal to all audiences. Written by Benedict Fitzgerald (the writer of The Passion of the Christ) and Barbara Nicolosi. It begins shooting in October 2011 and is expected to be released in Christmas 2012.
Starring Al Pacino as King Herod, Camilla Belle as Mary, Julia Ormond as Elizabeth and Peter O'Toole as Symeon. While the film will remain true to biblical accounts, the script is an account of Mary's life at 8, 15. 19 and 27 and Joseph's as 10, 17, 21 and 29 (as the Bible leaves to interpretation, the age of Joseph). Jesus is represented from birth to the age of 12.
The picture will be filmed entirely in Jordan with the full support of Jordan's King Abdullah II, who is offering historical sites never before seen in film. The script and the production is a complete breakthrough and, as the production team likes to call it, is THE GREATEST STORY NEVER TOLD.
"The McRib was, at least in part, born out of the brute force that McDonald’s is capable of exerting on commodities markets. According to this history of the sandwich, Chef Arend created the McRib because McDonald’s simply could not find enough chickens to turn into the McNuggets for which their franchises were clamoring. Chef Arend invented something so popular that his employer could not even find the raw materials to produce it, because it was so popular. “There wasn’t a system to supply enough chicken,” he told Maxim. Well, Chef Arend had recently been to the Carolinas, and was so inspired by the pulled pork barbecue in the Low Country that he decided to create a pork sandwich for McDonald’s to placate the frustrated franchisees."

Huge magazine insert in today's NYTimes promoting the upcoming Rolex Mentor Protege Arts Initiative weekend. (Only in NYC and LA). Worth checking out. Also big piece in the Financial Times on
Trisha Brown and the dance part of the program.
Amazing Blinky Palermo, giant one, one of the best I have even scene, pure dynomite!! Next to it was a large that's right our own Matthew McCaslin w/ Alaska 1995. Couple of the TV's were broken and the guard pointed it out and I said" I am a friend of the artist, its part of the piece, eventually it all goes dead, just like life", he said "OK".
Next floor Kenny Scharf wacky sculpture with a TV all goob'd up Scharf style and the kids are watching the cartoon and I go look at some other art and next think I know Alice hits some button and changes the imput from silent running cartoon to very noisy snowstorm. I push the buttons to get it quiet but cant figure how to get to video. No guard a round, sorry Kenny and fellow museum guests.
