1/14/01: Look for the February issue of Premiere Magazine - it features an article and several photos (some of which are on our photo page). Sony has the official website online now as well - nice design though Flash is required.
10/12/01: Michael Jackson has filmed a minor role for the film - no, not as an ET.
10/10/01: Patrick Warbuton says his character T starts out in the film as J’s new partner to be replaced by the returning K (Tommy Lee Jones), though he won’t say why he has to leave. He did complain that he didn’t even rate a noisy crickett and that there are some very scary aliens in the subway in NY.
9/14/01: Production has been temporarily halted with the ending, which was to revolve around the World Trade Center, being re-written. The halt may push back the planned release date.
