To celebrate the themes of giving, friendship and miracles in the upcoming film Charlotte’s Web, Paramount Pictures and Walden Media have made available over 20,000 barn kits to help groups build “harvest giving barns” to make a real and positive difference in their community. Once built, these cardboard barns can be filled with ‘time, talents and treasures’ to help those in need in the community.
Victoria’s newest film star could easily become Hollywood’s hottest piece of meat. Hopefully not, though. A bit of a Ewe Jackman, Nigel the sheep hits the big screen soon in Charlotte’s Web.
So what exactly do studio executives do? In the case of the new regime that took over Paramount Pictures last year, one of its first challenges was deciding exactly what Charlotte, the word-playing spider who is the title character in “Charlotte’s Web,” should look like.
Shooting Charlotte’s classic tale proved anything but pastoral. The story is deceptively simple. A runty piglet, a stubborn little girl, some barn animals and a brilliant spider literally spell out a lesson in love and sacrifice. Yet heaven and earth and a million leaves would be moved in the process of turning E.B. White’s beloved “Charlotte’s Web” into a live-action movie.
SEGA® of America, Inc. and SEGA® Europe Ltd. announced that actor Dominic Scott Kay, who voices the role of Wilbur in Paramount Pictures’/Walden Media’s presentation of a Kerner Entertainment/Nickelodeon Movies production, the holiday release Charlotte’s Web, has reprised his role in the DS™ and PC versions of the Charlotte’s Web video game. The game is was released on November 14, 2006 and is also available for the Nintendo Game Boy® Advance and mobile phones.
In preparation for the upcoming “Charlotte’s Web” movie an online petition has been set up to save Wilbur the pig. Check that out and more at the Nickelodeon site for Charlotte’s Web!
