Word is that we might have Sean Connery around longer than we thought for Finding Forrester. The movie cast and crew were scheduled to arrive here April 3 and stay for a month. But director Gus Van Sant might adjust that, and shoot more in Toronto and less in New York. Why? Less hassle here. And they can save lots more bucks with the Candian-U.S. exchange rate ...

Amy Heckerling, who was shooting Loser here, is proud to report that she nominated South Park director Trey Parker for an Oscar. Unfortunately, that wasn't enough to get him nominated. But Heckerling is thrilled that his Blame Canada got a song nod. She voted for that one as well.
