Brad Pitt and Natalie Portman team up
Brad and
Natalie are doing a movie together. Watch them break up, sell their stuff and reminisce… oh, that doesn’t sound appealing?
Why wouldn’t an auction catalogue make for a good movie?
But for real, I actually kind of like the idea. Please don’t quote me on that. I got a rep to protect.
Ma Cheri Amour
Cheri Trailer
“What is it Sebastian? I’m arranging matches.”
(this quote comes from the same genius man whom my blog is named after)
That’s what my friends and I say whenever we see a movie that looks like this. Other examples are Brideshead Revisited, A Room With a View, Maurice… pretty much anything British, a period piece, that also involves tea and giddy laughter at other people’s misfortune of being poor. Check out my little intro to Rupert Friend here.
Look smarmy Adam… there ya go.
Awhile back I mentioned some casting details on the upcoming romantic comedy, Leap Year, starring Amy Adams and Matthew Goode. Now, the hilarious Adam Scott has joined up, and although his role hasn’t officially been announced, he MUST be the boyfriend Adams chases through Europe. And honestly, how perfect is that casting? It’s perfect.
Check out this snazzy ring, I got it in a cereal box!
The Green Lantern movie (not to be confused with the Green Hornet), is set to start filming mid-September, and has a release date of December 17, 2010. Director Martin Campbell is going to have a lot of anxious fans knocking down his door for casting details, so he best get on that… quick.
“I’m gonna strike a pose I guess.
Today’s news of
James Franco signing on for another
David Gordon Green “stoner” flick, except one that’s a period piece, has gotten a lot of excited people blogging, but the official release of
The Year One trailer may have just upstaged it. I can say, without any embarrassment that this trailer made me laugh, out loud, 3 times. So very, very excited.
GOEMON Trailer says “what up Dragonball?”
This is what Dragonball Evolution should look like, but it won’t. (looks like
James Wong’s about to get schooled)
GOEMON Trailer.
Eisenberg Kills Your Darlings
Upcoming star of Adventureland, and current fav,
Jesse Eisenberg has now been added to the cast roster for Kill Your Darlings, where he’ll be playing famed poet, Allen Ginsberg. Kill Your Darlings will follow a murder, and how it triggered the “beat” generation.
Chris Evans (Sunshine, Fantastic Four) will star as Jack Kerouac, and
Ben Whishaw (Perfume, Brideshead Revisited) will play Lucien Carr, the Columbia student who brings them all together, and is charged for the murder. With all the Ginsbergs and Kerouacs flying around, “beat” seems to be back. I never thought I’d say that.
Franco Gets Into Character
Ginsburg appears to be popular these days! Now on top of the news about Kill Your Darlings, we have the first images of
James Franco also playing Allen Ginsberg in the upcoming
Howl. The film will follow the obscenity trial of Ginsberg after his most famous poem, Howl, was published. They have an all star cast aboard (Paul Rudd, Mary Louise Parker, Jeff Daniels, Alan Alda and more), so Howl looks like it has a shot at greatness, but we won’t know till 2010. Franco’s look will differ greatly from Eisenberg’s I’m sure.
David The Director
David Hayter couldn’t get you to see his movie when he wrote it, so now he’ll take a stab at it from the Director’s seat. Hayter, writer of the Watchmen script, and the first 2 X-Men movies, is forming a company called “Dark Hero Studios” with producer
Benedict Carver, where they’ll work on projects in the action, sci-fi and horror genres. The duo’s first project will be a werewolf thriller called Slaughter’s Road (bad title).
Thomas Dekker (John Connor in TSCC) is in talks to star. Sounds like either all the pieces will finally fall into place for Hayter, or it’ll be giant tornado of wrong for the guy.
Bombs Away (but good ones)
I love John Krasinski. That is all.
“Let The Wild Rumpus Start!”
There is nothing I don’t like about this poster. Agreed?
An Enormous Loss -Actress Natasha Richardson dies at 46
1963-2009
Do You Have a Flag? is flying at half mast today. The sudden loss of the beautiful and talented
Natasha Richardson will have an enormous impact on the film community.
The Film Experience gives a good summary on her career and family. She will always be remembered for exuding incredible warmth and natural beauty onscreen, and I, for one, am really going to miss her.
