411 update
Elvis Mitchell is not in the building
Thumbs down
Gossip websites and media blogs circulated rumors last week that film
critic Elvis Mitchell was leaving the New York Times since A.O. Scott
was allegedly made head film critic. Sources even reported seeing a
dejected Mitchell leaving the New York Times building last Friday. The
web is raging Monday morning with the scoop that Mitchell is heading to
the Chicago Tribune, in the Trib's attempt to bring a celebrity film
critic in to compete with Ebert and Roeper over at the Sun-Times. So, is
it bye-bye, Michael Wilmington, hello Elvis? "Uttterly false," says
Deputy Features Editor Jim Warren when asked about the rumors. He adds
that he's already received fifteen calls today regarding the rumor.
