Sunday 12th May 2002: Harry Potter DVD Easter Eggs
The Harry Potter & The Philosopher's Stone DVD's are selling like hot cakes over here in the UK. Many stores have indeed sold out just one day after its release. One of our readers has sent in a couple of hidden easter eggs for the disc for seven hidden clips. Take it away Ian,

There are two eggs on the Region 2 release of Harry Potter and the Philosophers Stone. The first is on disc one - highlight the owl above Hogwarts on the first menu, to be told about whats on disc 2 !

To access the deleted scenes on disc 2, you need to first go to Diagon Alley from the menu (there's a puzzle you need to solve to get into there, but if you don't get it after three goes , it lets you in anyway!). Go to Gringott's Bank to get money, then to the wand-shop to get a wand. Now you can go to the classrooms. Highlight the owls on the podium, then the "H" that appears.
You now need to solve three puzzles. In the first , you select the flute to get past the three headed dog, in the second select the key right in the centre of the screen, at the back - you'll see its the one whose wings are not flapping the same as the others when the screen first appears. In the third , the bottle to choose is the yellow one. (All these clues are solvable from watching the film)
You will now be able to select the stone, and see the 7 extra clips.

Wednesday 8th May 2002: Script Review Online For Burtons Big Fish
The Stax Report have posted a review of the script for Tim Burton's next movie. The screenplay by John August (Charlie's Angels 2, Go) is based upon the novel Big Fish: A Novel of Mythic Proportions and is being developed by Columbia.

"Big Fish is about many things (life, death, love, dreams, fathers and sons, reconciliation) but it's a particularly compelling statement about the art of storytelling, about "the power of myth" (to borrow a line from Bill Moyers) and its ability to transport, enlighten and entertain us. I look forward to seeing how Tim Burton will interpret John August's script. Big Fish could end up being Burton's most mature and thoughtful film yet". Full review here.
