I am a HUGE Tim Robbins fan. Forget about his politics or causes or anything else like that... the man is MASTER actor. I first took real notice of him almost 14 years ago in The Player. Then caught him again in The Hudsucker Proxy... and after that he really showed his stuff with one of the best performances by a lead actor EVER in film... playing Andy Dufresne in The Shawshank Redemption. Now Tim Robbins is talking about the possibilities of directing a new film version of the George Orwell classic 1984. The good folks over at Empire give us the following: But if Tim Robbins has his way, there’ll soon be a brand-new movie version coming our way. Robbins is currently directing a stage version of the novel for his LA theatre troupe, The Actors’ Gang. That runs until April 8, but when we spoke to him yesterday, he told us that he doesn’t want the 1984 experience to end there. “I’ve got a screenplay of it,” he told us (presumably written by Michael Gene Sullivan, who adapted the novel for The Actors’ Gang). “And now I’m starting the process of trying to put it together.” Count me in. The only other film I saw that Robbins directed was Dead Man Walking... a fantastic film that holds an astounding 91% over at Rotten Tomatoes. Great book, in the hands of a guy with some proven directing ability... yeah, I'm in for it.

Tim Robbins used to live in santa barbara. maybe he still does. MOntecito actually. he was out a lot along coast village road. i believe one of his relatives did the bronze dolphin sculpture at the base of the santa barbara pier. this is sort of the logo for the city now. my friends and i loved Dead Man Walking. strange movie, but very good. i especially liked the pacific northwest indian set at the end. apparently that was very accurate. completely different from what i had pictured indians as being.
