Fake Calls is an iPhone app that lets you receive a fake call on your phone -- you can either tap the icon on your home screen (discreetly labeled FC) and your phone will ring in ten seconds, or else you can schedule a call in advance. Your phone will look and sound exactly like you're receiving an incoming call -- you can select in advance who the caller is, from your mom to your boss to the president -- except that nobody's really there. You can then "answer" the call -- or decline it if you're using the app just to prove you have manners.

After Dutch director Theo Van Gogh (yes, he's related to Vincent) was murdered in 2004 as a result of making SUBMISSION (many Muslims thought it was overly critical of Islam), American actors have been practically queuing up to direct English-language versions of his films. Steve Buscemi was first with INTERVIEW (2007), and up next to pay homage is Stanley Tucci, whose remake of Van Gogh's 1996 BLIND DATE premiered at Sundance last year.
