ET weekly magazine's Fall Movie Preview features three movie musicals- Sweeney Tood, Enchanted & Across the Universe

Hi All-

On my way home from NYC- Saturday 8/18 ( I saw the play "Old Acquantaince') I decided to pick up a copy Entertainment Weekly Magazine's Fall Movie Preview (which they featured upcoming movies ) so I dont get bored at the 4 hour ride bus ride home .

Fortunately, They had articles & pictures on the three movie musicals in this issue- Sweeeney Todd (my favorite of three- so excited to see this ) Enchanted & Julie Taymor's Across The Universe. Also they had a lot of articles on new movies like "Elizabeth II " and of course Reese Wintherspoon new movie , "Rendition"

Also has an article on "Hairspray" on Oscar Watch : Pick up a copy

I read the article online about Sweeney and in the article Burton does confirm it's rated R.

I'm going to head out to pick up my copy very soon.

Is anyone else driven nuts by seeing the ACROSS THE UNIVERSE trailer. It seems like every movie I've gone to since THE NAMESAKE plays that trailer, and I've gotten to the point that I can't stand seeing it.

Did anyone read the article about how it is now a rule that for best original song or original score the studio can't send the voters a cd, but the voters can only judge by seeing the movie. How crazy is that?

I love the idea. It's been too common lately that a winning song merely plays over the credits of a film, and it is high time that the academy starts taking into consideration what is actually happening onscreen WHILE the song is playing. Plus, it will give musicals a better chance.

When I first saw that cover, I thought "What is Maria Sharapova doing on EW?"

Wasn't Learn To Be Lonely from the POTO nominated for Best Song? That played at end credits, so I think Come So Far is safe.
