BIG LITTLE LIES
TO BE TOLD BY NICOLE KIDMAN AND REESE WITHERSPOON
Now this is an unusual pairing we haven't seen together on the big screens before: Nicole Kidman and Reese Witherspoon have bought the movie rights on Liane Moriarty's bestselling novel BIG LITTLE LIES with the plan to star in it together. According to 'Deadline' the story of the film revolves around two mothers who take a third under their wing when she enrols her son at kindergarten with their children. But the newcomer harbours a secret that could unravel all their lives to the point of murder. As you know, after she flopped big time with GRACE OF MONACO Nicole Kidman will be next seen in Werner Herzog's QUEEN OF THE DESERT and in psychological thriller BEFORE I GO TO SLEEP next to Colin Firth and Mark Strong, and you have also recently seen trailers for Reese Witherspoon's upcoming dramas WILD and THE GOOD LIE.
HBO'S 'WESTWORLD' SF SERIES
RODRIGO SANTORO AND JEFFREY WRIGHT JOIN ANTHONY HOPKINS
A few weeks ago I informed you that HBO is preparing new sf series WESTWORLD based on Michael Crichton’s 1973 book set in a futuristic theme park where androids fulfil dark human desires. With Anthony Hopkins, as the owner of the park, and Evan Rachel Wood in the lead roles, the cast has now been updated by: Rodrigo Santoro (as Harlan Bell, WESTWORLD’s perennial “Most Wanted” bandit), Jeffrey Wright (as Bernard Lowe, the brilliant and quixotic head of the park’s Programming Division), Shannon Woodward (as Elsie King who is charged with diagnosing the odd quirks of behaviours in the park’s hosts), Ingrid Bolsø Berdal (as Armistice, a savage fighter and brutal bandit), Angela Sarafyan (as Clementine, one of Park's most perfect android beauties), Simon Quarterman (as the narrative director of WESTWORLD).

1,000 TIMES GOOD NIGHT
TRAILER WITH JULIETTE BINOCHE AND NIKOLAJ COSTER WALDAU
First trailer has been released for new drama 1,000 TIMES GOOD NIGHT which opens up in cinemas October 24th! It is the poignantly personal and incredibly timely story of Rebecca (Academy Award Winner Juliette Binoche), one of the world's top war photographers. On assignment while photographing a female suicide bomber in Kabul, she gets badly hurt. Back home, another bomb drops when her husband (Game of Thrones' Nikolaj Coster Waldau) and young daughters - fearful for her safety - give her an ultimatum: her work or her family.
A lot of good things here. Interesting to see how Westworld and Big Little Lies turn out. 1,000 Times Good Night will be one that tugs on your heart strings.
ReplyDeleteI do love today's trailer and I can promise a truly brilliant trailer tomorrow as well, something that will warm your heart in seconds :)
DeleteEverytime I hear about WESTWORLD I get pictures of Yul Brynner's android cowboy in my head.
ReplyDeleteIf I got it right Rodrigo will play Yul's character in the series
Deletewestworld is and was one of my favorites... looking forward to the revamp... and the rest is all peachy...
ReplyDeleteor maybe apricoty?
DeleteSome nice pics here.
ReplyDeleteWestworld sounds intriguing and I also enjoy psychological thrillers.
I do like today's selection of pics too :) Very summery!
Delete1000 xs: I can't imagine that kind of ultimatum.
ReplyDeleteI think the decision is easy: you should never have kids if you're not ready to always put them in the first place
DeleteThe original WestWorld was one of the creepiest movies I ever watched. I loved it.
ReplyDeleteHi Dezzy! Sorry I haven't been around in a while; day life has been intense lately.
Hope you're fine, Donna
DeleteNICOLE KIDMAN AND REESE WITHERSPOON? Dreams do come true, Dezz. Dreams do come true.
ReplyDeleteI knew you'd appear from bluewhere as soon as I mention the two of them....
DeleteHeheheh You can't blame a guy like me for dreaming about a team that would rock his world... I feel like, you know, spooning...
Deletewhat's spooning? And should I even know? :)
DeleteWhat's Witherspooning... Where to begin.... where to begin...
DeleteThat 1000 Times movie sounds compelling.
ReplyDeletesure does
DeleteThank you for the pic of Rodgrigo darling. We know I have high hopes for WestWorld.
ReplyDelete1,000 Times Goodnight will be one of those that are both beautiful and painful at the same time. To go into war and see what those photographers see cannot leave one untouched. I have never thought about what their families must endure before.
I wish he had more shirtless pics, dear.
DeleteMost of war photographers are crazy people and adrenaline junkies. Some do amazing jobs, some are used in political propaganda....
Reese Witherspoon also bought the film rights to Gone Girl and turned it into a movie (although she didn't star). She's a Nashville native, and I live here, so maybe someday I'll write a book that gets her attention! I can dream!!!
ReplyDeleteYep, I wrote about that one years ago :)
DeleteI havent' seen any movie with Reese Witherspoon in a long time
ReplyDeleteI think LEGALLY BLONDE movies were the last time I've seen her, and VANITY FAIR
DeleteReese has been a very busy girl! I am not much of a Nicole fan, but I do like Reese, so Big Little Lies will still go on my must see list.
ReplyDeleteI'm love and hate when it comes to Nicole. She has the most impeccable taste in choosing roles, but sadly most of those would better suit some other actresses.
