B.O. ANALYSIS: 'The Parents' Meet 'The Titans'
May 08, 2001 4:19am ESTWith "Parents" meeting "Titans" there will be brisk action on the box office playing field and a close race for top honors. "It will be close," an insider promises.

ROLE CALL: 'Mr. Ripley' Grows Up
March 19, 2001 11:50am ESTHOLLYWOOD, Oct. 31, 2000 -- Tom Ripley is about to strike again, albeit under a completely different guise. How so? Think John Malkovich and "M:1-2's" Dougray Scott instead of Matt Damon, for instance. Daily Variety reports that Malkovich and Scott are in talks to star in "Ripley's Game," a sort of a follow-up to last year's "The Talented Mr. Ripley" (with Damon as the titled character). The new project, which is based on the third novel in author Patricia Highsmith's Ripley series, follows an

UNSPOOLED: Stallone Alone
March 19, 2001 11:50am ESTAnother body blow for "Rocky."According to reports today, the hit-challenged Sylvester Stallone, who last year complained he was, yo, "a man without a country," is now minus a big-time deal with Universal Pictures that reportedly guaranteed him $20 mil per flick.

Will Smith, Jar Jar Razzed

Last summer's Will Smith stinker, along with the blockbuster "Star Wars: Episode I -- The Phantom Menace", topped the nominations for the 20t
