Legendary Pictures List of Production in Progress:
GTA4 Breaks Guinness Records!
It would seem that Niko Bellic’s car-stealing, carnage-creating antics have resulted in the book being thrown at him — that book being the Guinness Book of World Records, with Grand Theft Auto IV stealing not one, but three records in the process!Grand Theft Auto IV was released on April 29, 2008 for XBox 360 - Biggest Entertainment Release of All-Time
- Highest Grossing Video Game in 24 Hours
- Highest Revenue Generated by an Entertainment Product in 24 Hours
GTA IV has racked up an impressive tally by selling 3.6 million copies on its first day of release — thats a whopping US $310 million! This feat has established the game as “the most profitable entertainment release of all-time.”
Just to put this in perspective, here are the next highest earners in entertainment circles:
- Fastest-selling video game in 24 hours: Halo 3 (US$170m)- Fastest-selling theatrical movie in 24 hours: Spider-Man 3 (US$60m)
- Fastest-selling book in 24 hours: Harry Potter & The Deathly Hallows (US$220m)
Fraggle Rock Feature Film Going Ahead
Awesome good news from PuppetVision: The Weinstein Company has given the go-ahead to the Jim Henson Company's Fraggle Rock feature film, which has been in development for a couple years. This makes a lot of sense because the Weinsteins want to develop family-friendly franchises and Fraggle Rock is already an established and much-loved family entertainment property. Also, they have the money and clout to make sure the film gets a good release and is properly promoted.

Jim Henson - 1983 Interview - Awesome Rare Footage
As always, Jim Henson was far ahead of his time, as here he discusses George Lucas/ILM's involvements with Dark Crystal, as well as the future of full high resolution digital film making and high definition television broadcast technology. He also discusses his love of old animation and even a hint of his desires to push technology, animatronics, and design for the Dark Crystal, as well as his future endeavors with HBO's Fragile Rock. Camera keeps rolling at the end for some funny stuff.
