	Rydell Takes 'Shot' With Yari Prods. Mark Rydell has found his next project in "Jump Shot." The project is being set up at Bob Yari Productions, with Bob Yari executive producing and financing the film. Rydell will direct and also will produce together with David Greathouse. Kim Basinger is understood to be circling the project, for which she is being sought for a leading role. Christopher Walken is also involved in early talks about the project. The film is based on a script by Robert Tannen and is described as having a "Traffic"-like...
	Sounds like Kim Basinger is coming aboard Mark Rydell's saga of corruption and gambling addiction surrounding a college basketball competition, "Jump Shot." We get word they've been casting about for a juvenile actress to play Kim's daughter in the drama slated to begin shooting mid-January. Rydell, whose directing credits include such gems as "On Golden Pond," hasn't directed a feature since the 1994 Richard Gere-Sharon Stone thriller "Intersection."

	Cinema 2005, una valanga di nuovi film. L'estate 2005 sarà quella della svolta. Più film nei cinema e più spettatori nelle sale. Lo assicurano le associazioni di categoria Anec, Anem e Unidim, che hanno incontrato oggi esercenti e giornalisti.  Già dai primi giorni del nuovo anno, però, molti film riempiranno le sale nonostante l'abbuffata natalizia. Archiviati i film-panettone arrivano titoli molti attesi. Fra le prime pellicole del 2005 il nuovo capitolo della saga della single più famosa del mondo, 'Che pasticcio, Bridget Jones!'; l'ultimo film di Ken Loach, 'Un bacio appassionato'; il film di Martin Scorsese, 'The aviator' sulla vita del produttore Howard Hughes interpretato da Leonardo Di Caprio; il kolossal epico di Oliver Stone 'Alexander'; il biografico 'Ray' sulla vita di Ray Charles e a febbraio 'Neverland' sulla vita di J.M. Barrie, lo scrittore di Peter Pan.  Si preannuncia una stagione intensa che culminerà con l'estate 2005 in cui sono previste le uscite di molti film in contemporanea mondiale. Dopo l'esperienza dello scorso anno ('The day after tomorrow' e 'Harry Potter 3' usciti in tutto il mondo nello stesso momento), anche quest'anno le case di distribuzione hanno spinto verso l'allungamento della stagione.  Tra i titoli più attesi in uscita tra maggio e agosto il thriller con Kim Basinger 'Cellular', 'Le crociate' di Ridley Scott, 'Sahara' il film con la nuova coppia di Hollywood Penelope Cruz e Matthew McConaughey, 'La guerra dei mondi' di Steven Spielberg con Tom Cruise e la nuova versione della storia di 'Batman' diretto da Christopher Nolan.  Sul fronte cinema italiano sono pochi i titoli che usciranno all'inizio dell'anno, schiacciati forse dall'arrivo di tanti kolossal americani. Tra i pochi film nostrani di inizio anno 'Ingannevole e' il cuore più di ogni cosà di Asia Argento, 'Il resto di niente' di Antonietta De Lillo e 'Alla luce del sole' di Roberto Faenza.  Per vedere altri film italiani dovremo aspettare l'autunno quando sugli schermi arriveranno 'Quo vadis, baby?' di Gabriele Salvatores, 'Parlami d'amore' di Gabriele Muccino, 'Romanzo criminale' di Michele Placido, 'I giorni dell'abbandono' fino ad arrivare a dicembre con una nuova commedia di Leonardo Pieraccioni ancora senza titolo. Chissà se sarà il primo incasso dell'anno 2006 come lo è stato nel 2004.

	Kim Basinger calling... - While TV's "24" simply could not exist without the cell phone, that wonderful invention is the actual plot hook in "Cellular." The suspense thriller starring Kim Basinger underperformed at the box office in September, but it deserves better and gets another chance when it hits DVD on Tuesday (New Line, 95 mins., PG-13, $27.95).  For once, Basinger's nervous, uncertain screen presence is appropriate. She plays a dutiful mother who is snatched with her little boy from their home. The brutal kidnappers want something from her husband, but she has no idea what. While locked in a strange attic, she manages to wire up a smashed phone and make a Hail Mary call to anyone out there. She reaches the Nokia of a 20-ish girl-watcher (Chris Evans of "Not Another Teen Movie"), who shifts from skeptical to heroically helpful when he realizes the woman crying for help is not kidding. He must race to find her without losing the signal.  First-time director David R. Ellis was second-unit director on the first "Harry Potter" and the second "Matrix," so he knows how to keep the action moving. He and writers Larry Cohen and Chris Morgan lay out their strategy in a joint commentary. (Cohen previously explored his telephone fixation with the 2002 hit "Phone Booth.")  The disk also has deleted scenes and three featurettes. One of them takes a look at how cell phones work.
