No, I can’t wait, thanks for asking. But I suppose I will anyway.
Heading down to the Arclight theater here in LA today (which sports the best screens/projection/sound in the city) to figure out how far in advance I can buy opening night tickets. The curtain rises in 13 days, 8 hours….
I know how the movie ends! I had gotten the movie novelization from Books-A-Million a few weeks ago, sometime in April, and got the novelization. Though I kinda regret reading it, though. I was wanting to find out what happens when I SEE the movie! Ah, well, the movie seems ok as far as I’ve read, and 8 pages of color photos of the movie! Man, they look good!
I can’t wait either! I’m dying here!
I just found out that Wikipedia’s Ratatouille page has new casting information including a voice for Ratatouille… Johnny Depp!
WHOA! I’ve been going to Wikipedia but had forgotten (or didn’t have the attention span) to see that! SWEET!
It’s COMING!!!
Oh yeah Shine! I sent the letter to Buena Vista to see if i can get into the preview screening on June 04.
Weird, dave, when you commented, it was 13 days, 8 hours, right now, it’s 8 days, 13 hours…weird…O_o
