At the start of the year, a new site and FB group called The Ultimate Xanadu Experience went on line and announced their intentions to hold an event celebrating Xanadu’s 45th anniversary in August in Los Angeles. As of now, plans are still being made, but their FB group have been posting some incredibly rare behind the scene photos of the movie and a video of one of the movies muses, Teri Beckerman (Muse Number 8).
Here’s one of many photos that they have posted.

Speaking of Behind the Scenes material: Kira Lehtomaki sent me a photo of cinematographer Victor J. Kemper working with producer Joel Silver and director Robert Greenwald. Thank you, Kira!
Also coming soon later this year: Variety announced that there will be an documentary of the life and career of Olivia Newton-John, with full cooperation of Olivia’s partners at Primary Wave Publishing. No news on the title and where this will end up. Stand by for details.
