  • New James Bond film Quantum of Solace will open in France, Belgium and the U.K. before it comes to the U.S. on November 7. Why? This Variety story doesn’t say, but it does devote three paragraphs to Quantum’s exceedingly boring Bond boilerplate plot.
  • There’s a new Tyler Perry movie opening this weekend, and if this Variety story is any indication, if it does well it’ll be the first time in three years that a Perry film opens at the top of the box office without the trades pretending like it’s a surprise. Also of note: Drillbit Taylor seems to be suffering from a post-Semi-Pro lowering of expectations.
  • Doc maker RJ Cutler has plans to adapt the book Comedy at the Edge: How Stand-Up in the 1970s Changed America into a non-fiction film.
  • Hot Docs has unveiled its lineup. Among the 173 films set to screen are Nursery University, about “the bloodsport of nursery school admissions in post 9/11 New York,” and Bloody Cartoons,  a look at “satirical cartoons depicting the Prophet Mohammed published in Denmark.”
