Pearl Harbor crash video
Many of you have e-mailed me requesting that I put on the video taken by an amateur photographer shown on ET (Entertainment Tonight) of the airplane crash. I have not seen the video and have no intentions of doing so. I will tell you the following without adopting a “holier-than-thou” attitude:
“The Michael Bay Site will not post footage or links to this video. Personally I do believe that it is ethically wrong to show the moments of someone else’s agony and despair. “
Again, this is my personal choice and belief. I am not condemning anyone who has seen it or post it on their site. I am just giving you the reason why I won’t.

Regarding yesterday’s plane accident in which, thank God, no one died, Bayfilms VP Jennifer Klein says Michael told her that the pilot suffered scrapes and a broken ring finger, not the broken wrist and face lacerations that have been reported by various websites and media organizations. The pilot is currently stationed at Tripler Army Medical Center in stable condition.
Hope it clears the air. Thanks to Nick Medrano at the Pearl Harbor site for the info.

Bay gets ‘Gory’ at Touchstone
By Zorianna Kit
Touchstone Pictures has paid a low six-figure sum for “The Gory Details,” an idea that Topper Lilien and Carroll Cartwright will write for filmmaker Michael Bay to produce and possibly direct.
“Gory” focuses on people who are in the business of crime cleaning — sweeping up the bloody mess left at a murder scene.
Bay Films vp Jennifer Klein brought the idea to Bay and will co-produce. Buena Vista Motion Picture Group’s co-presidents Todd Garner and Nina Jacobson along with senior production vp Mark Varhadian will oversee “Gory” for the studio.
Lilien and Cartwright, repped by the Gersh Agency’s Frank Wuliger, co-wrote the upcoming USA Films’ “Where the Money Is” starring Paul Newman and Linda Fiorentino. The duo also wrote “Dungeons & Dragons,” a live-action version of the popular role-playing game for Sweetpea Entertainment, Silver Pictures and J & M Entertainment, which Warner Bros. will distribute domestically.
