Fairey draws parallels between jets, characters

Maybe you’ve noticed the deafening roar of F-16 fighter jets zooming over the city this weekend. They’re hard to miss when they tear into town every summer for the annual Chicago Air & Water Show. Playwright Ellen Fairey, who lived in Chicago for 23 years before moving to Los Angeles last August, found herself so fascinated by the screaming jets, that she set her acclaimed new play “Graceland” — which runs through Sept. 13 at the Profiles Theatre — during the hot, noisy, beer-soaked weekend of the Air & Water Show.

‘District 9′ director has put some serious thought into the prospect of alien life-forms, but do big ideas have a place in a summer sci-fi blockbuster?

He grew up in Johannesburg, South Africa, obsessed with sci-fi — so much so that he was working as an animator at 16, then moved to Vancouver at 17, where he shot commercials and special effects for TV series such as “Dark Angel.” His breakthrough, however, was born of a business failure — his agent sent Peter Jackson a sample of his work when the “Lord of the Rings” filmmaker was looking for a director to make a movie based on the video game “Halo.”

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — The idea of Brad Pitt running for New Orleans mayor has generated a lot of buzz around the city even though he isn’t eligible. It also generated some laughs for the actor in a Thursday television interview.
