More magazine scans

I have just added more than 30 new magazine scans of Jack Nicholson to the Miscellaneous Magazine Scans Gallery. These come from a variety of sources and some of them are just fabulous. Most of these are from a collection of clippings sent to us by a fan of Jacks in the UK - Ian - so a big thanks Ian! I hope you all enjoy them and I should have some more later in the week! -- Sara

The Passenger DVD out March 14!

Exciting news about The Passenger DVD out on March 14th!

Sony Pictures Home Entertainment has announced a new release of The Passenger which stars Jack Nicholson and Maria Schneider. Originally released in 1975, the film is a suspenseful and haunting portrait of a drained journalist whose deliverance is an identity exchange with a dead man. The disc will be available to own from the 14th March, priced at around $24.96. Extras on this one will include an audio commentary with Jack Nicholson (Yay!!), a second commentary with Wim Wenders (director of Paris, Texas & Wings of Desire), An Evening at the Academy Featurette, and an interview with writer Mark Peploe and Maria Schneider - details courtesy of DVD Active follow the link to view the cover art!

For background info on the Evening at the Academy check the October post about the event which includes details and photos! I am looking forward to seeing the featurette. For background on The Passenger - including the trailer, movie stills and reviews - please check out our special The Passenger Section

On an unrelated note - Jack attended the funeral of Chris Penn, the younger brother of Sean Penn yesterday. The papparazzi were at the funeral and a scuffle broke out because Sean Penn wanted the ceremony to be private. It was reported that Mark Ruffalo was able to remove the offending photographers film but sadly, I have seen today on one of the photo sites I go too, that there are stalkerazzi pics from the funeral available and online. This is beyond disgusting. The Penn family have lost a loved one and should be allowed to grieve at such a time, in privacy. I am a huge Jack fan but I have no desire to see photos of him obtained in this way, and I certainly won't put them on this site. I ask that if the photos are published by any magazines that you don't buy those magazines, perhaps if these people didn't have a market for such obtrusive pictures they might not take them and instead learn to show some respect. Ok rant over!
