Ah, it seems the problematic sf project GRAVITY has finally found its cast. After being rejected by many young actresses the female role had been given to Sandra Bullock, but it wasn't the end for GRAVITY's problem since Robert Downey Jr left the cast after that. But Sandra will finally get her partner in the film - George Clooney! Directed by Alfonso Cuaron, the film will follow a female astronaut who becomes trapped in space after debris wipes out her space station. George Clooney will play the captain of the ship who has a pivotal role in the story.
Here's an interesting cast for a less interesting film: according to "Variety", two gorgeous people, Eric Bana and Olivia Wilde might star in KIN, as two desperate sibling fugitives on the run who collide with the holiday homecoming of a troubled ex-boxer (Charlie Hunnam).
What's the problem with Gravity? Other than it being hard to defy ; )
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure, Cheri, but they kept losing a lot of popular actresses (Rachel Weisz and Angelina Jolie) maybe it's the studio, or the director or the plot .... I've no idea.
ReplyDeletei'm not crazy about clooney- but he's better than downey jr. - but i'm certain my hubs will want to see that movie... sandra bullock's his favorite.
ReplyDeletekin is a really cool name for a movie- but is olivia wilde in everything? i wonder how many movies are being made that don't have either her or anne hathaway?
yep, I'm not into Clooney either, he has a tendency of not acting but just being charming. I was very angry with him after THE GOOD GERMAN especially since Cate Blanchett gave a stunning performance in it, but he ruined the whole film with his shallow approach to the role making the movie a silly flick and not a profound drama.
ReplyDeleteI just love me some Bullock :) Never watched her in Sci-Fi since that silly Judge Dreed. I actually hope she was paired with Keanu again for this movie, a cold one and a warmth one is a good combination :)
ReplyDeleteHas Sandra and George ever been in a movie together? I can't think of one, so their pairing will be interesting!
ReplyDeleteLove the snowy blog!! Very festive!
Considering how long we've been hearing about Gravity, it's about time they finally settled on the cast.
ReplyDeleteGeorge & Sandra in a movie -- will be interesting to see how they work w/ each other.
ReplyDeleteYeah, why was gravity such a problem? However, you're right, the cast of Kin is hot!

@Jaccsy

@Kelly
ah, it has been snowing over my headquarters for two weeks now :)) Glad you like it.
@Alex
it really was about time!
@Lisa
yep, two charmers finally together :)
@Clarissa
ReplyDeletethe KIN cast surely is a hot one :)
hmmm i think i'd believe sandra with clooney before RDJ (even though i LOVE him). hopefully everyone leaving the project isn't a sign that it will tank.... maybe they right cast just needed to get pieced together.
ReplyDeleteGravity is shaping up to be a pretty awesome movie :) I would have preferred Natalie Portman of course, but you know :P
ReplyDelete@Kristin
ReplyDeletewell, since I personally can't stand RDJ, Clooney definitely is a better choice if you ask me :)
@Jamie
I know, I know, and you also know, don't you? :)
I love the idea of Clooney n' Bullock, I think it will work~ We will have to wait and see if there chemistry can draw us in! I predict, "Yes"!
ReplyDeleteLocke n' Key has my attention, I loved the way this actress portrayed Princess Mary on "The Tudors", can't wait to see this one~
she was amazing in THE TUDORS, wasn't she, so adorable and appealing!
ReplyDeleteI'm in love with the two guys from Kin. Charlie Hunnam and Eric Bana are great actors. But Olivia Wilde? Honestly, was there no one else available? Not a big fan of hers. I'm very interested in this Locke and Key. Love Sarah Bolger. They should have cast her in Kin.:)
ReplyDeleteLove the snow on the blog.
Great cast for Kin. And love anything Sandra Bullock's in, ok without Demolition Man lol
ReplyDeleteDEZMOND - Gravity will be good with Sandra in it. I'm a fan of hers.
ReplyDeleteLocke and Key sounds interesting, too.
=D
Dezmond, I also love the Hurts!
ReplyDeleteWish you and your family a Merry Christmas ;)
@Melissa
ReplyDeleteOlivia is a big hit in Hollywood these days for some reason, I'm guessing it has something to do with her TV roles.
I see the snow is very popular among my readers :)))
@Agent Sanders
Half of the world loves Sandra Bullock :)
