First published in the Midnight Graffiti anthology (Warner Books), Murder Mysteries was sold to Miramax with Alessandro Camon attached as producer and Goyer as writer/director. Though the property was optioned nearly four years ago, the production has been stalled due to Goyer's committments to the Blade franchise and writing chores on Batman Begins, slated for 2005.

Banksy is one of the world's most notorious and popular street artists who continues to remain faceless in today's society. [56] He is known for his political, anti-war stencil art mainly in Bristol, England, but his work may be seen anywhere from Los Angeles to Palestine. In the UK, Banksy is the most recognizable icon for this cultural artistic movement and keeps his identity a secret to avoid arrest. Much of Banksy's artwork may be seen around the streets of London and surrounding suburbs, although he has painted pictures throughout the world, including the Middle East, where he has painted on Israel's controversial West Bank barrier with satirical images of life on the other side. One depicted a hole in the wall with an idyllic beach, while another shows a mountain landscape on the other side. A number of exhibitions also have taken place since 2000, and recent works of art have fetched vast sums of money. Banksy's art is a prime example of the classic controversy: vandalism vs. art. Art supporters endorse his work distributed in urban areas as pieces of art and some councils, such as Bristol and Islington, have officially protected them, while officials of other areas have deemed his work to be vandalism and have removed it.

In most countries, marking or painting property without permission is considered by property owners and civic authorities as defacement and vandalism, which is a punishable crime, citing the use of graffiti by street gangs to mark territory or to serve as an indicator of gang-related activities. [4] Graffiti has become visualized as a growing urban "problem" for many cities in industrialized nations, spreading from the New York City subway system and Philadelphia in the early 1970s to the rest of the United States and Europe and other world regions.

To me, the measure of a good story is that it stays with you. That doesn't have to mean in a pleasant way. Some stories are not pleasant, and are not designed to be. That said, I think it is important to bear in mind that some people can find stories that are designed to be pleasant, unpleasant.

As the movie progressed, permeating nearly every scene was the constant sense of isolation, oppressive despite the lighter moments. The only beings who tenderly touched were the giants: every other scene reinforced loss and loneliness, physical and emotional distance; Helena from her own world, she from her mother; the dark queen from her own rebellious daughter; the worlds of dark and light isolated from one another and every creature solitary behind a mask disguising every feeling and thought. Even Valentine, the most accessible of all the characters, was hiding what was in his heart.While the art had many advocates and appreciators—including the cultural critic Norman Mailer—others, including New York City mayor Ed Koch, considered it to be defacement of public property, and saw it as a form of public blight.
