Deadline reports that one of the most charming comedians, Jason Sudeikis has a new role ahead of him: he will join Kirsten Dunst in SLEEPING WITH OTHER PEOPLE playing a good-natured womanizer who befriends a remorseful serial cheater (Dunst). Their platonic relationship reforms their chronic infidelity but sparks an inconvenient romantic attraction to each other. You have already heard that after this summers hit WE'RE THE MILLERS, Sudeikis is also set to reprise his role in comedy sequel HORRIBLE BOSSES 2!

Last week I gave you the first pictures from upcoming drama THE RAILWAY MAN and now here is the first trailer! To open in UK January next year, it will have Colin Firth playing Eric Lomax who was one of thousands of Allied prisoners of war forced to work on the construction of the Thai/Burma railway during WW2. His experiences, after the secret radio he built to bring news and hope to his colleagues was discovered, left him traumatised and shut off from the world. Years later, he met Patti (Nicole Kidman), a beautiful woman, on a train and fell in love. Patti was determined to rid Eric of his demons. Discovering that the young Japanese officer who haunted her husband was still alive, she faced a terrible decision. Should Eric be given a chance to confront his tormentor? Would she stand by him, whatever he did?Jeremy Irvine plays the young Lomax.
Please tell me Dorothy trades in Toto for a pitbull.
ReplyDeleteor a huge bear if you ask me....
DeleteI can't wait for ARROW to come back. The addition of Flash will rock!
ReplyDeletehe will apparently appear in three episodes this season, and if he's good he will get his own spinoff series :) But I don't think they will ever beat the old THE FLASH show with John Wesley Ship!
DeleteThe Railway Man looks very powerful.
ReplyDeleteextremely powerful, I rather liked the trailer too, smells like Oscars to me...
Delete"The Railway Man" looks sooooooooo intense. The kind of role that only an actor of Colin Firth's caliber could play. Looking forward to seeing it and yet dreading it all at the same time.
ReplyDeletevery intense and dramatic. Should be a sweeping drama!
DeleteI love, love, love Jason Sudeikis! He was great in Horrible Bosses and We Are The Millers. I'm so glad they are doing a sequel for Horrible Bosses.
ReplyDeletewe do love that charmer, and I love how happy he is with Olivia Wilde! Such a delightful couple.
Deletei am totally in for the post today, except for all the pouty lips faces... lol.
ReplyDeletei must start watching arrow, only heard good things about it.
I haven't been hit by ARROW either :) I kinda try to avoid all things superhero....
DeleteDorothy must die, sounds a bit weird? Might have to give that one a go!
ReplyDeletefingers crossed the poor lass doesn't really die in it...
DeleteLoved that trailer for The Railway Man. Looks intense.
ReplyDeleteI liked it too, we're getting quite a lot of great award-contending dramas this year!
DeleteThere really are. Twelve Years a Slave is another I'm really looking forward to seeing.
DeleteOoh, and we just got our news about who will play Claire in Outlander. I have no idea who she is, but she looks the part. :)
and PHILOMENA which got standing ovations at Venice Film Festival, and Meryl in OSAGE AUGUST COUNTY...
DeleteOooh, will prepare the news for tomorrow on OUTLANDER :) I knew she would be announced today since they've announced the uncle yesterday :)
Yeah. I've always been a fan of Colin Firth. This looks great. And what a twist on Ox.
ReplyDeletea twist indeed, Donna
DeleteEven though I am a huge OZ fan, I do love the twist on this one. After all, Dorothy did steal the witch's family jewel shoes after killing her sister. I don't think Dorothy was such a saint after all.
ReplyDeleteshe most certainly wasn't.... Bad girls always wear red shoes :)
DeleteDorothy Must Die...I like the sound of that!
ReplyDeleteyou're such a villain, Sherry :P
DeletePenny Dreadful is the one for me. The history of those serial stories is actually important although the stories were sometimes lurid and bloody. I wonder if Sweeney Todd will make an appearance. Is it true that they are filming much of this in Dublin?
ReplyDeletethey're filming pretty much all new epic shows up in the Eire, dear! it's either Dublin or Belgrade, these days :) If you and me set up shops in our capitols, we could rule the business of showbusiness
Delete.....
I wouldn't live in Dublin if you paid me. They look down on people like me. Because we're poor and our accents are heavy, they treat us like we're thick as planks. Even with my education they're all automatically my superior :(
Deletethat's the situation in every capitol city, dear, they always look upon people from provinces like that.
DeleteCarney is a good choice for Dorian Grey.
ReplyDeletemethinks so too! And Harry for Frankenstein as well!
DeleteSmallville originated after WB didn't want a show based on Bruce Wayne/Batman. I'm surprised Green Arrow got his own show. He's not the most well known DC hero.
ReplyDeletebut he has the best costume
DeleteDOROTHY MUST DIE sounds oddly amusing.
ReplyDeletehope they make it epic
