tomorrows house from yesterday
"The international space-age craze of the 1960s stirred interest among Finnish architects,
but there was only one Finnish project that can be regarded as a bona fide sample of space-age
architecture: the Futuro house designed by Matti Suuronen. Its design encapsulated the distinctive
themes of 1960s utopian architecture: mobility, increased leisure time and new materials.
This plastic, ellipsoid, portable holiday hideaway represented something totally new in Finnish
architecture. Even by international standards, it is among the most striking samples of utopian
space-age design."

LOS ANGELES (Oct. 15) - Burt Reynolds and Willie Nelson are in final negotiations to join Johnny Knoxville, Seann William Scott and Jessica Simpson in the big-screen version of "The Dukes of Hazzard."
Reynolds, most recently in theaters with the hit comedy "Without a Paddle," would play the evil Boss Hogg, a role played in the original 1979-1985 CBS show by the late Sorrell Booke.
Nelson would play Uncle Jesse, stepping in the shoes of the late Denver Pyle. Knoxville and Scott will play his good ol' boy nephews, Luke and Bo Duke, respectively, with Simpson on board as their sexy cousin, Daisy Duke.
Jay Chandrasekhar is directing the Warner Bros. project.
Reynolds' upcoming film include "The Longest Yard," "Cloud Nine" and "Instant Karma." Nelson, better known as a country music legend, has appeared in such films as "Wag the Dog" and "Red-Headed Stranger."
