Hey folks, Harry here with a bevy of juicy RUMORS, I say rumors because well... that's what these are. I did a run through with some folks on the BLAIR WITCH 2 bit... they confirmed that... so... who knows, maybe this is the beginning of a cool new spy. I'm still working on the others, and I'm headed out to L.A. to do checking on a buncha stuff. I can say that as best as my LIGHTSTORM sources can tell, the rumor started by 4FilmMakers.Com is not true, but at the same time... something is active on the property right now, I know that for a fact. So something is afoot. Here's this stuff, and remember to take it with a grain of salt!

Listen, you probably don't believe me but I am a person that works for a studio. I'm just a nobody on the bottom of the food chain who keeps his ears open with some info that might be of some use to you.
First, a "friend" at Artisan told me that the new co-star being considered for Dirty Dancing 2 is Jennifer Lopez. (I kinda find that hard to believe) but paired up with Ricky Martin, well...
Hannibal DEFINITLEY started shooting on Friday in Florence, Italy and the studio is now trying to rush for a Xmas 2000 release date, moving up from Feburary, 2001.
I read a KILLER, hilarious and raunchy, hot spec script called "Celebrate Youth" that has cameo parts specifically written for BRAT PACKERS Molly Ringwald, Jon Cryer, Andrew McCarthy, Michael Schoeffling, Anthony Michael Hall, Judd Nelson and C. Thomas Howell + Paul Gleason. It's a coming of age comedy that takes place in 1984 (total spoof on the decade of decadence) about a group of kids who BLACKMAIL RICK SPRINGFIELD (Who I heard, read the script and loved it).
Another friend told me that Blair Witch 2 dailies look like shit. AND there's an ORGY SCENE (ala Eyes Wide Shut & Summer of Sam) that was shot for the film that many think, doesn't even belong in it. Blair Witch 2, Orgy? I don't get it.
Anyway, I hope this info is helpful. You probably don't believe a word, but I swear, ALL OF IT'S TRUE. Ask around about the orgy thing. You'll see.
Nice talking to you. I will keep my ears open.
