Elton John的這一部[Gnomeo and Juliet]在迪士尼放了很多年終於被拋棄
不過現在馬上被Miramax撿去了
目前的報導中還是有Kate Winslet, 沒看到Ewan
不過還是希望他能夠做這部，一來終於可以跟Kate合作，
更重要的是，還可以唱強叔的歌曲耶.......

Miramax Films has announced an exclusive deal with Sir Elton John's Rocket
Pictures to develop and produce Gnomeo and Juliet, an animated twist on
Shakespeare's classic tale set in the world of tacky garden gnomes. Rocket
Pictures producing partners, David Furnish and Steve Hamilton Shaw, who are
currently finishing post-production on their latest film It's A Boy Girl
Thing, will shepherd the project with Miramax president, Daniel Battsek.
"I have had a longstanding relationship with Rocket Productions and have been
following this project since I was at BVI," said Daniel Battsek. "I was
thrilled when the opportunity arose to bring 'Gnomeo' to Miramax."
"I am very excited about working with Miramax," stated Elton John. "'Gnomeo'
is an edgy concept and Miramax is the perfect home to push the envelope in
animation.
"Academy Award-winning lyricist Tim Rice will collaborate with John on the
songs for the film. Four-time Academy Award-nominee Kate Winslet is
attached to star. Additional casting to be announced at a later date.
Gnomeo and Juliet will be animated in the UK with Academy Award- nominee
Baker Bloodworth (Destino, Lorenzo) serving as producer and guiding the
production in London.
Originally scripted by Rob Sprackling and John Smith, Gnomeo and Juliet was
brought to Disney several years ago by Rocket Pictures. Scribes Kevin Cecil
and Andy Riley penned the current script.
