I can't wait to see this - it's gotten amazing reviews. Clive Owen is one of my favorites, terrific actor.

Izzard completes marathons feat
AdvertisementAn ''exhausted'' Eddie Izzard runs through the finishing line
Comedian Eddie Izzard has completed his endurance feat of 43 marathons in 51 days for charity Sport Relief, finishing in London's Trafalgar Square.
Izzard, who ran at least 27 miles per day and took just one day off per week, covered about 1,100 miles on his route across the UK.
The 47-year-old, who trained for just five weeks for the event, told BBC News he now planned to "sleep for a week".
In 2006, David Walliams swam the English Channel for Sport Relief.
Blisters upon blisters are not very nice. It's the pain. Like the pain from mouth ulcers, it's not a massive area but sharp and quite agonising
Eddie Izzard
Izzard - who ended his mammoth challenge in the pouring rain - said he had been trying to complete his final day's run in under five hours but had failed to do so by 30 seconds.
"I don't know what the hell I was doing at the end but it must have been way faster than I was doing the rest of the time.
"So I feel exhausted now, but you know, it's over."
He added: "Being here is very nice because, when I left here seven-and-a-half weeks ago, there was nothing here, it was just a cold morning and now there's a lot of people here, even in the rain."
The comedian, who has so far raised more than £200,000, was joined by well-wishers for portions of the challenge, which took in England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales.
Pretty amazing commitment from Eddie Izzard, who also used Twitter constantly during his effort.
Here we are, already more than half way through our job here. Great stuff today, again working with some of the best skiers and snowboarders in the world. This little recap vid, shot at 9pm last night--just before heading back to the villa for some data wrangling--shows me pretty darn tired, but still kicking. I'm on camera with my friend Chris Jerard from Freeskier and Snowboard magazines. Chris is our subject matter expert and snowsports industry liaison.I feel like we're finally dialing in our separate and additional workflow for sharing this stuff amidst all the other priorities we're balancing. So that should mean that we'll be able to roll some serious outtakes and a wave of more videos here tonight and tomorrow and the next day.
Chase Jarvis, fantastic photographer and author of one of my favorite blogs, has been posting an incredible play by play of a shoot he and his team are on in New Zealand.
Anyone with an interest in photography should check these out (his Facebook page has the most complete coverage).This is the latest in the series and it's a great peak behind the creative curtain of an ad shoot.
Chase Jarvis and his team have really embraced social tools as a way of sharing both what they do as well as the creative process behind it. Another video about the creative process that should be watched is a talk Chase gave to the Art Director's Club of Denver a couple of months ago. Be warned: it will want to make you immediately want to get up and create something.

No 60 year old moves like this...
From the NYTimes story on the Kennedy Honors:
Mr. Springsteen released his first album, “Greetings From Asbury Park, N.J.,” more than 35 years ago. His albums, including “Born to Run,” “Darkness on the Edge of Town” and “Born in the U.S.A.,” have sold some 120 million copies worldwide, and he has won 19mestopics/subjects/g/grammy_awards/index.html?inline=nyt-classifier">Grammy Awards, and an Academy Award for the song “Streets of Philadelphia.”
Now two weeks away from his 60th birthday, he still performs to sold-out arena crowds with his backing group, the E Street Band. In a statement Mr. Springsteen said, “It is a privilege to be recognized in the company of the very best of my fellow artists.”
I love that it's him and Mel Brooks (who I've always felt was overlooked...) this year. And that De Niro guy...
