I want to make sure that EMI's objective is not just to ship albums to retailers, which is the easy part - it's also to get them out the retailers' doors. I still haven't heard anything that convinces me of that,'' he says. Meanwhile ... Garth not only has his ongoing national tour and massive Central Park concert to think about, he's also moving forward on his deal to produce movies for 20th Century Fox. His Red Strokes Entertainment banner is developing ``The Lamb,'' a thriller about a murder plot in the music industry in which Brooks will appear - and for which he'll do the soundtrack. And he has another project, a supernatural story of good and evil based on his own idea that he's personally taking forward. ``All the writers the studio brought in to work on it took it in different directions than I wanted it to go. Finally, they said, `Why don't you write what you want?' So I've been working on it, and I just turned in a `scriptment,' something between a script and a treatment.''

He adds that even before the rock video boom, ``We always made some kind of promo film every time we came out with a new record.'' Meanwhile, the brothers Gibb kick off their world tour Sept. 5 in Miami to promote their hit album, ``Still Waters.'' Although they'll be playing all over the globe, Maurice says the concert trek won't be a killer. ``We're spacing it out nicely - a month on the road, then two weeks off.

It's pretty weird.'' Kilpatrick adds, ``It was staggering to see what went on day after day shooting a movie on the water ... just getting the Willys out there, transporting the people, the food, matching the lights, dealing with the weather. ...
