NOT THAT ANGRY

Everyone hasn't gone to the moon, they've gone to Mars! We have Ted Tally's MISSION TO MARS which has been shooting for over a month, now, with Gary Sinise, Tim Robbins, Don Cheadle, Connie Nielsen and Jerry O'Connell in the Brian De Palma film about the first manned mission to Mars which gets stranded on the Angry Red Planet. We have two James Cameron projects about Mars, one is a TV mini-series directed by Martha Coolidge not based on the Kim Stanley Robinson MARS TRILOGY (RED, GREEN, BLUE) the other is an IMAX 3-D MARS experience. Plus we have the Warner Bros. film MARS written by Chuck Pfarrer and Jonathan Lemkin, starring Val Kilmer, Carrie-Anne Moss, Tom Sizemore, and Simon Baker in the story of the only survivor of a Mars mission who uncovers a frightening truth about the war planet... and only his ex-wife Carrie-Anne Moss can save him! That's almost the same plot as the Disney flick... But it looks like Warner Bros. blinked. They have changed the title of their film to RED PLANET to avoid confusion. There is no truth to the rumor that Les Tremayne has been added to the cast of the Warner Bros. film. All four MARS films will be shot in bleem-o-vision.
