30 October 2008 2:37 AM, PDT | Studio Briefing - Film News | See recent Studio Briefing - Film News news »

The Berlin Film Festival -- the Berlinale -- is planning to screen some 22 restored movies that were originally shot on 65mm or 70mm negative film during its Retrospective sidebar in February. The films include Lawrence of Arabia, Ben Hur, Cleopatra, Patton, 2001: A Space Odyssey, West Side Story, The Sound of Music and Hello, Dolly! Several 70mm films produced in what was then the Soviet Union will also be screened, including the seven-hour epic War and Peace by director Sergei Bondarchuk. The prints will be screened at the Kino International, one of the few theaters in the world still equipped with 70mm projectors. "It will be a feast for the eyes," Berlinale director Dieter Kosslick said in a statement. "I'm delighted we'll be able to provide Berlinale audiences with such a spectacular cinema event." »

The actress says, "It was amazing. The dress is a replica of the one Carol Channing wore on Broadway. It's spectacular.

"And you would be amazed at how many options there are for eyelashes... We had pictures of Carol all over the place. We were like, 'Ok, how close can we make it?'" »

This year sees the release of his first solo writing-directing project, the Pixar picture Wall•E, about a trash-compacting robot still doing his job after 700 years alone on an abandoned Earth.
