Posted July 11, 200817 yr Can you name any Canadian #1 box office hits? I can. My Big Fat Greek Wedding made $240 million in 1992. Norman Jewison’s The Hurricane starring Denzel Washington made $50,668,906 in 1999. But it’s not really Canadian... its not a Canuck story anyway. Porkys made $105,500,000 in 1982. Can we do it again? Paul Gross and Justin Trudeau star in Paschendale which I believe hits theatres in September, but I'm not a fan of Paul Gross. I find him too smart-alecky. My hopes rest in the new Canadian movie, Blindness. Don McKellar has fashioned a blockbuster premise in his screenplay adaptation of José Saramago's popular novel. This movie depcits a situation wherein blindness is contagious - its scary realistic horror. I love sci-fi movies, and I think this might be Canada’s next Blockbuster. What do you think?
July 11, 200817 yr Like the concept actually, sounds interesting... I have to say my faveourite Canadian director is probably David Cronenberg....
