"The President of the United States of America (Alan Alda) is doing miserable in the polls. So, on the advice of his advisors, he declares a Cold War on Canada. And the people of Niagra Falls, New York, are solidly behind the new anti-Canada stance of the country. Especially since its weapons maker, the biggest employer in town, was closing down and auctioning off its constructed weapons built for the US military to the citizens of the town at very low prices. The cat is pretty good, and do a pretty good job with an unfunny script. John Candy, who was a Canadian, was real good at tossing what many could take as insulting stereotypical jokes. To make things worse, this was Candy's completed movie before his death ("Wagons East" being his final film, but it was completed with a body-double, as Candy died during production).

The latest, though, is a bit of a shocker, even if he is famous for making a dramatization-heavy doc. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Errol Morris’ next project is a comedy, which he’s currently writing.

"There is so much going on these days in the marketing of The Dark Knight (see Chris Thilk’s most recent update/summary here), but Warner Bros. may be wasting a lot of time and money on its campaigns. If we’re to believe an AP story from yesterday, there’s already enough interest in the Batman Begins sequel coming from two separate directions: comic book fandom (”the magnitude of a comic-book franchise with an illustrious 70-year history”) and, of course, the cult of celebrity death (”arguably the biggest movie featuring a posthumous role in Hollywood history.”). The article highlights a number of posthumous film releases, including those of James Dean (Rebel Without a Cause and Giant), Spencer Tracy (Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner), Will Rogers (Steamboat Round the B "
