Ooooh, now this is a dream team for me - my beloved Justin Timberlake and my beloved Catherine Zeta Jones in the same film together. They will join Bruce Willis in Stephen Frears' (whom we also love heaps - THE QUEEN, CHERI, DANGEROUS LIAISONS, MRS HENDERSON PRESENTS) LAY THE FAVOURITE, TAKE THE DOG a film about Internet gambling and off-shore sports betting, which will follow a woman who becomes involved with a group of fifty something math geeks in Queens who have worked out a way to rig the sports books in Vegas. Justin Timberlake and Bruce Willis will play gambling experts while our dear Catherine Zeta-Jones will play Bruce's wife, Tulip, in the film.
SHORT HEADLINES *Contrary to yesterday rumors, Michael Rosenbaum will officially appear in the SMALLVILLE series finale. *This might shock you or make you laugh or scream, but Hollywood is preparing a film on MILLI VANILLI and their famous lip-syncing scandal. Ralph Fiennes' epic adaptation of Shakespeare's famous historical play about a power thirsty Roman general CORIOLANUS with Gerard Butler, shot last year at the locations in Serbia, has found its distributor for USA in the Weinstein Company.
Check out stunning new image from HOLLYWOOD SPY's most anticipated film of 2011 - ancient Greek epic IMMORTALS directed by Tarsem Singh. The new image shows Kellan Lutz as
the God Poseidon. Starring Henry Cavill, Mickey Rourke, Stephen Dorff and Freida Pinto, the film will follow Theseus who has to undergo numerous adventures in order to save his country from evil king Hyperion. Click here to read HOLLYWOOD SPY's long post on the film.
Here's an interesting tandem - Julianne Moore and young Abigail Breslin (LITTLE MISS SUNSHINE, NIM'S ISLAND) will star in INNOCENCE, according to "Variety". The movie adaptation of the book by Jane Mandelsohn will follow a teenage girl grieving after the death of her mother who discovers that her private school is home to a nest of vampires (story of your life? :). Moore will probably play a school nurse who seduces the girl's father and actually wants the virgin blood of his daughter.
Stephen Dorff is awesome. I cannot wait to see Somewhere. Immortals is not a movie I'd typically be drawn to, but something about it tugs at my interest.
ReplyDeleteI expect Dorff to be great in IMMORTALS too. Unlike you, IMMORTALS is my absolute favourite genre :)
ReplyDeleteUm, I thought you were going to write about a Milli Vanilla film?
ReplyDeleteI'm trembling with delight for you dear Dezmond :)
ReplyDelete@Andrew
ReplyDeletewell, you have it in the SHORT HEADLINES :) Too much of it wouldn't be good for public health.
@Wendy
why is that, dahling? :)
yay. milli vanilli. I can hardly wait.

Tossing It Out
Because, you've just showcased your dream-team, good sir!! You probably thought I'd lost my marbles :) Then again, that wouldn't be hard ...
ReplyDelete@Arlee
ReplyDeletehe he ... don't pretend like you don't know all of their songs :P
@Wendy
ah, that one :) 'tis delightful indeed, too bad the film isn't my cup of tea, but I do adore the two of them :)
(story of your life? :)
ReplyDeleteTeeheeheeheeheehee.
What, not everyone went to private school that was a nest of bloodthirsty, undead monsters???
I certainly did, MJ :)
ReplyDeleteBreslin said how much fun she had working on Zombieland - must've caught horror-movie-fever!
ReplyDeleteYay for that pairing of CZJ and JT! She has to be the World's most gorgeous actress.
ReplyDeleteWow, I love coming here for all the latest buzz!
This is the first I've heard of the Xmen movie (yes, I do live under a rock. why do you ask?) And me thinks it's urgent to get me to thee Immortals.
Have you ever watched a movie called I KNOW MY FIRST NAME IS STEVEN? It has Dorff in it and I've like him ever since.
ReplyDeleteI love Smallville, this is exciting news.
ReplyDelete@Alex
ReplyDeletecan't say i like it, vampires should not be teen obsession :(
@Terry
glad you enjoy your visits to HOLLYWOOD SPY, Terry :) And yes, you can miss XMEN, but you must not miss IMMORTALS later this year :)
@Clarissa
no I haven't, but I will watch it if I run upon it :)
@Zoe
glad it made your day, Zoe :)
Abigail Breslin, another child actress riding crest of vampire wave. Interesting :)
ReplyDeleteJustin timberlake is looking awesome
ReplyDeleteJustin and Catherine in the same film, yes! Too bad it's not one I would normally like. I'll see it though, just for them.
ReplyDeleteImmortals is going to be stellar and I can't wait for it. I love this genre.
Wow, all of these look great! Bruce, Justin and
ReplyDeleteCatherine, sounds like quite the triangle~
Immortals will be fab, Kellen can morph into any part, I swear. Oh, not sure about the Milli Vanilli thang! Happy to hear Michael will make an appearance! I know you are happy ;-D
Hello DEZMOND - You look fantastic in red! The Immortals film looks great. xoxo.
ReplyDeleteThat's a lot of interesting movies coming out.
ReplyDeleteThe gambling one sounds cool, especially the cast.
I just don't love Kellan Lutz though. I don't think he's good looking at all!
And speaking of good looking, you look very handsome in red and roses!
Willis and Timberlake teaming up could be fun:) ...oh yeah, and how dare I forget Mrs. Micheal Douglas!
ReplyDeleteEL
oh, that JT/KZJ movie sounds awesome! And I think Julianne Moore makes a better mermaid than a vampire... or heck, I don't know. Perhaps I'm just vamped out~ :D
ReplyDeleteNo sexy pic of Gerry Berry to go with the Coriolanus news, Dez? :( Anyway I'm VERY pleased they've found a distributor, hope a trailer isn't far behind.
ReplyDeleteLucky Justin, Catherine is so smokin'!
Good news today, really good news. Rosenbaum, shock and laugh, yes.
ReplyDeleteMoore as a vampire, that will be interesting.
Nahno ∗ McLein ™
Even though I'm over vampires at the mo, INNOCENCE sounds ok.
ReplyDeleteI woulda thought there's better stories out there than MILLI VANILLI though.
@Meand
ReplyDeletehe definitely does :)
@Jaccsy
well, I certainly do not approve of all the vampirism in Hollywood :(
@Melissa
I will also see it just for them. And IMMORTALS will be the best film of the year :)
@Ella
Catherine, Tarsem, Justin and Kellan always make me happy :)))
@RaShelle
ReplyDeletethanks, my dear, have you notice my little red rose in the lapel? :)))
@Kelly
why, thank you, I was hoping someone would notice my dashing StValentines outfit :) After all I am a huge trendsetter :)
@Elliot
yes, yes, we must never forget Zeta!
@Leigh
yep, she is prettier as a mermaid, although there is something vampirish about here, the skin, the look ... :)
@Flixy
ReplyDeleteI'm surprised we haven't seen a trailer so far, since the premiere is soon at Berlin film festival ...
@Nahno
glad you like the news today :) Hope tomorrow's will be great too!
@Lynda
ah, we should be happy, that they at least didn't call the two of us to play Milli Vanilli :P
yeah, my high school was full of vampires... of a less literal nature. :)
ReplyDeletei love bruce willis- that movie might be really good!
and milli vanilli... we've officially scraped the bottom of the barrell, huh?
Yes, I did notice and I love it. xoxo
ReplyDelete@Vics
ReplyDeleteI think we had visiting teachers from your school in my school :)))
And yep, we've hit the bottom :(
@RaShelle
thanks :)
