Movie star Renee Zellweger has been banned from one of her favourite winter pastimes - because insurance bosses won't let her hit the slopes.

The actress' most famous character, Bridget Jones, hits the piste for the upcoming Bridget Jones's Diary sequel, but Zellweger, a once keen skier and snowboarder, admits she hasn't had fun on the slopes for seven years.

She explains, "The insurance company on films won't let you do those things. They don't like you to do sports where you might break all your limbs and potentially your neck."

V. Bad: 'Bridget Jones' Sequel Piracy Threat

Sep 04, 2004

LOS ANGELES  - Piracy is rampant worldwide, including across the pond.

Security surrounding the "Bridget Jones" sequel, "Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason," has been tightened in light of rumors that pirates are offering a $10 million "bounty" for a digital copy of the project, reports the BBC News.

"We are aware that significant sums of money are being offered for any early material on the movie," says a spokesman for Working Title, the studio producing the film.

The studio has not commented on the multi-million dollar bounty or the reports that they have hired Kroll, risk consultants, to protect the film.

The Federation Against Copyright Theft (FACT), says, "A blockbuster film of the caliber of 'Bridget Jones' will be targeted extensively by organized crime gangs and we would anticipate considerable interest among film pirates."

FACT contends that piracy gangs are linked to racketeering, drug trafficking and even terrorism and that they are infiltrating the film industry on all levels in order the get the best quality copies of films.

The DVDs created from any clean, digital copies will be of a higher caliber than the usual shaky camcorder copies obtained from taping films in the auditorium, which constitutes about 90 percent of the pirated DVDs.

"Bridget Jones's Diary," based on the book by Helen Fielding and starring Renee Zellweger, made a gratifying $254.4 million worldwide. The highly anticipated "Edge of Reason," which continues the adventures of London's favorite singleton, will be released nationwide on Nov. 19.

 

DreamWorks Animation's 'Shark Tale' Swims Up the Venice Canals for World Premiere

The Stars Will Be Under the Stars When Voice Talents Will Smith, Robert De Niro, Angelina Jolie and Michael Imperioli Attend the Premiere in Venice's Historic Piazza San Marco

LOS ANGELES, Sept. 2 -- Preparations are underway for the world premiere of DreamWorks Animation's new computer-animated comedy "Shark Tale." As befits a movie set under the sea, the premiere is taking place in the most beautiful city on water, Venice, Italy. The screening, which is part of the Venice Film Festival, will be held outdoors on September 10 in the city's historic Piazza San Marco. The event marks the first time ever that the Piazza will be closed for the premiere of a major feature film.

The stars of "Shark Tale," Will Smith, Robert De Niro, Angelina Jolie, and Michael Imperioli, will be among the estimated 5,000 people expected to be in attendance to watch the movie under the stars.

The Piazza San Marco is being transformed into a giant outdoor theatre for the event, complete with a giant inflatable screen. The screen, which is the largest inflatable screen in the world, is more than six stories tall and over 3,900 square feet. It requires approximately 20,000 cubic feet of air to inflate the screen fully, and, once inflated, the screen will have a ballast of more than 50 tons of water to keep it stabilized.

All of the equipment for the premiere -- some 190 tons, including more than 62 tons of steel and scaffolding, over 10.5 miles of cable, sound equipment, and 5,000 chairs -- is being brought to the site on barges, as there are obviously no roads in the city of Venice. In addition, the three generators that will provide the more than one million watts of electricity needed to power the event, will be floating on barges just offsite.

Opening nationwide on October 1, 2004, "Shark Tale" tells the story of Oscar, a fast-talking little fish whose big dreams have a habit of landing him in hot water. Lenny is a great white shark with a sensitive side ... and a secret -- he's a vegetarian. When a great white lie turns Oscar into an improbable hero and the truth about Lenny makes him an outcast, these two become the most unlikely of friends.
