Hey folks, Harry here... The wondrous Zorianna Kit at The Hollywood Reporter has learned that Joe Carnahan is taking over from David Fincher as director of MISSION IMPOSSIBLE 3. Fincher is going to go shoot some skateboard movie. Meanwhile Joe Carnahan is doing this. Who the hell is Joe Carnahan? He's a fellow that I first met in a gym in Park City, Utah with folding chairs... actually, that's not entirely true, I met him in a white plastic tent outside that gym in Park City. He'd just made and was showing a film he made for even less money than Robert Rodriguez's EL MARIACHI... A nice little film called BLOOD, GUTS, BULLETS AND OCTANE.
Then I see HIRE: TICKER - one of those BMW films, and frankly this one was my favorite of the series.
The next time I see this guy it is at the Spanish Riviera flanked by Ray Liotta and Jason Patric. He's got this new movie called NARC that kicks a whole helluvalot of ass. He still has that very intense look on his face of a man that doesn't suffer fools, so I avoid talking with him... lest I be a Wicker Man.
