News Corp. Noir & Sapphire

Studio 360 | Jan 31, 2011

The novelist Sapphire's new book picks up where Push (which became the movie Precious) left off: The Kid tells the story of Precious’s son. And the new film The Clock is a mash-up of more than a thousand movie clips all about time. It's 24 hours long, and we wouldn’t cut a minute.
