Pixar's "Brave"
Why isn't "Brave" showing at Cannes? Because the Scotland-set film will
open the Edinburgh Film Festival just after its June 22 stateside
release. I saw half an hour of Pixar's 13th film and first fairy tale,
which will prove to be yet another top box office performer by summer's
end. That's partly because in a summer of sequels and familar brand
names, "Brave" will pop as one of the few originals. It's written by
Irene Mecchi ("The Lion King") and co-director Brenda Chapman ("The
Prince of Egypt"). "John Carter" writer Mark Andrews also co-directs.
Another thing: have you noticed how many archers are in movies these
days, from Katniss Everdeen to Hawkeye? And Legolas will be back in "The
Hobbit," and, eventually, Neytiri in "Avatar 2."
