I know it was in development hell for quite awhile, and it even had to be reshot almost completely because the original version was considered 'too dark.' It was also slated to open right after Ron Howard's 'The Grinch' in 2000. <BR/><BR/>Whenever I think of Spike Jonze, though, I immediatley think of his ditzy southern cletus-like character from 'Three Kings,' so it's hard to imagine him directing a movie.finsof72https://www.blogger.com/profile/15721909709459135540noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23042008.post-65050234797471415192009-03-27T00:10:00.000-04:002009-03-27T00:10:00.000-04:00The Arcade Fire apparently don't have any music in...The Arcade Fire apparently don't have any music <I>in</I> the movie, though.
