The Force is with us
Article Abstract:
The film 'Star Wars,' which was first launched in 1977, is now being relaunched following investment of $15 million in digital audio and visual improvements. The relaunch is mainly designed to test audience reactions before the planned release of a new 'Star Wars' trilogy, beginning with 'Episode One: The Balance of the Force' in May 1999. No 'Star Wars' films have been released since 1983, and there were fears that the concept could now be regarded as outdated.

See her ... then see her
Article Abstract:
Actress Kirstin Scott Thomas has until recently been regarded as interesting but second-rank. However, this has changed as a result of the film 'The English Patient.' She has rapidly gained star status, and this is reflected in the image of her which is now being conveyed. She has changed her appearance, and now only does interviews in the most prestigious locations. She now comes across as less domestic and more ambitious.

Always look on the dark side
Article Abstract:
Television comedy director Bob Speirs is popular with comedians for his his temperament and technique. He has worked on successful light entertainment, slapstick and cult programmes, including 'Dad's Army,' 'Fawlty Towers' and 'Absolutely Fabulous.' His natural instinct guides his choice of what is funny. His work is distinctively visual as he feels the camera participates in the plot, rather than composes shots.
