Editing Guidelines Please remember these guidelines when editing a film article: If a non-film article already exists with the name of the film that you are trying to create an article for, disambiguate and use (film) in the title: Film Title (film) For more information see: Wikipedia:Naming conventions (films) When writing an article about a particular film, the general format should be a concise lead section, followed by a plot summary of no more than 900 words, production details, a cast list, a reception section, and references. Create an Infobox that tells all pertinent information about the film.
Additional Information: This article has been checked against the following criteria for B-Class status: Referencing and citation: not checked Coverage and accuracy: not checked Structure: not checked Grammar: not checked Supporting materials: not checked To fill out this checklist, please add the following to the template call: <!-- 1. It is suitably referenced, and all major points are appropriately cited. --> |B-Class-1=yes/no <!-- 2. It reasonably covers the topic, and does not contain major omissions or inaccuracies. --> |B-Class-2=yes/no <!-- 3. It has a defined structure, including a lead section and one or more sections of content. --> |B-Class-3=yes/no <!-- 4. It is free from major grammatical errors. --> |B-Class-4=yes/no <!-- 5.

This article needs an image (preferably free) related to the subject, such as a picture of the set or a film poster. A possibility for American films from before 1964 would be a screenshot from the trailer, as these are now in the public domain. Please make sure fair use is properly observed, or the image will be removed. See WP:Films MOS for image guidelines and assistance in uploading.

A plot summary needs to be added to this film article, or the current one needs to be expanded.

[edit] Sporn v. Stallone

There have been some mini edit wars regarding who is the filmmaker here. From what I can tell, this article was originally created for the upcoming Poe film by Sylvester Stallone. If there is another film by Michael Sporn in development, this article was not created for it. As a compromise, since both films are in development, I'm suggesting it mention both (for now). It seems the Sporn film is not a full length feature film but an animated short. It is also not a biopic but mini adaptations of Poe's fiction. Stallone's is a full length feature film and a biopic, so the descriptors are really intended for his film, not Sporn's. Additionally, Sporn does not appear notable enough to have his own Wikipedia article (hence the red link) so I wonder if a short animated film that has not been made yet is notable enough to have it's own Wikipedia article. Feel free to discuss here rather than reverted or edit warring (again), especially anonymous IPs. Thanks, folks! --Midnightdreary 12:10, 6 October 2007 (UTC)
