Chris Weitz to draft Subtle Knife (see update)
Posted by on August 13, 2007 at 12:17 am
An article at the Iranian website Payvand says that the Iranian-born screenwriter, Hossein Amini, will no longer be penning the script for the adaptation of The Subtle Knife. Amini was commissioned to write a draft script back in January, but Payvand reports that “apparently Amini set off working on another movie, Killshot, produced by Quentine Tarantino and the task was given to another talented screenwriter: Chris Weitz.” We’ll see if we can confirm this.

Update: According to New Line’s production executive, Hossein Amini is still the only writer for The Subtle Knife after all.

Hey conor we are all doing a little bit to help so i think we should all do something so we get more infomation and do a better job. What website are you on to get the info. .I am keeping a eye on news round and my friend William. Jake is going on the cast makers website. We all need to to something to help. I also got another friend called adrian who is me and williams best friend. his mum is in dance shows and that so she is helping us by getting audition slips. she tells me to go in WHSmith in the acting news papers. So we all keep on researching. Soon all this hard work will pay off.

helloo gd ppl of earth
ryt-(i dnt meen to offend ne1 withthe following statements(they are made purely bcoz i find them amusing))

ppl ryt at the top r moanin to much about the borin stuff which no1 rele cres about

misses person who sez shell cry at the top is obviously a girly puff (sorry if u r a guy)

deamon_light; i reckon he’s like the director coz he/she seems to know everything

thrs sum guy up thr hus goin on bout how puberty wnt stop him n he’s got the right idea bout how to get in. hes sayin hu cres wot i look like im goin 4 it neway. problem is (no offence to ne1 here) will has got to be tall n probably quite gd lookin ( not sayin irish dude up thrs ugly)

ppl sayin they wanna be extras are lyin to thmselves. they wanna b the star but they dnt fink thr gd enuf. try harder pps

misses girl up thr hu sed summit bout the fingers. (no offence) NOBODY CARES! they can probably do summit to show the loss of a couple of fingers with blue/green screen things n dyu think half the ppl tryin to audition have brains. as long as they get to play will hu cres how many fingers they lose:P wierdos (btw i wouldnt mind bein will my self but i hav a realistic view of my ability to act)

all guy wantin to no bout will auditions; i dnt cre hu will is aslong as he aint sum weedy midgit hu jst happens to b gd at actin

i fink its ‘charlie’ but it myta bin anuva 1; even if lyra is readin all this i wud be mightily suprised if she ever rights nefin bcoz if i wer her id fell rele embaressed if every1 woz tlkin bout me and (no offence misses lyra) shes only a lil 13/14 yr old girl hu’s a very gd actress. thn a gen wot do i no? shut up rich.

real dude; you havnt got half the subtleness will has if u go onto a popular website n give out ur email thingy. (no offence) ur a gump.

lil kid up thr; i wudnt worry bout ur braces m8 they can do loadsa kl stuff wid modern movies

i agree; the webmaster has decided its a nice time to die

guy offering brace nd foreign advice; like the foreign idea thing even tho i dnt no wot it meens. however the brace kids might hacve the 1s tht u cnt jst take off. (my m8s got thm n i nearly knocked his teeth out whn he woz muckin around in a game of take down bull dog:P)

conor; (no offence) no-one cares

lil girl further up; ur spelling is rele quite bad (sorry if ur a boy)

ethan; ur too short to play will. no idea how tall u r but its too short

n kid jst up thr; wills taller thn lyra u plank. hes ment to be tall n shes short

sorry if i hav upset ne1 but i honestly dnt cre
i wud like to know when the audition info comes out, despite the fact i probably wont go. gd luck to every1 hu dus n if ne1 wud like to complain about me plz write a comment for me to retaliate to.;)
