Hollywood shuts down after attack
Much of the entertainment industry has closed down in response to what has been called the largest terrorist attack on the United States. Most notably in Hollywood, the Latin Grammys, which were scheduled for tonight, have been postponed. A make-up date has not been scheduled.
Major movie studios have closed down and production has been halted on many TV and movie projects. MTV News also stopped service for the day.
Austin Powers back for more
Shooting is slated to begin in mid-November for what will be the third installment of the “Austin Powers” series. The new film should be ready for release in July, according to New Line Cinema. Many “Powers” characters, including Mini-Me, Fat Bastard, Dr. Evil, Scott and of course, Austin Powers will return.
The first two films, “The International Man of Mystery” and “The Spy Who Shagged Me” grossed $88 million and $310 million, respectively.
