Although we might not watch the film, since director Joe Wright (ATONEMENT) has put that horrid Keira Knightley in the lead role, we must admit his film adaptation of famous ANNA KARENINA is having the rest of the cast filled with great names we love. You already know that the lead male roles were given to Jude Law (as Mr. Karenin) and Aaron Johnson (As Vronsky), but now, they will also have the company of amazing Matthew MacFadyen who will play count Oblonski, Anna's brother. Young Saoirse Ronan will play Kitty, the sister of Oblonski's wife. I so wanna watch this, but how will I? with Knightley in the lead role? :(((
According to "MovieWeb" Relativity Media is planning a sf film called ECSTASIA, in which the intriguing story is set in an alternate universe where love doesn't exist, although people can pay for a costly procedure known as "commitment". ECSTASIA is described as "an emotional Viagra", and without it, couples will feel no romantic connection. The story will center on a couple who can no longer afford the "commitment" procedure, so they have to take extreme measures to prolong their relationship.
Check out the new poster for hilarious comedy BAD TEACHER which premieres June 24th. In the film, Cameron Diaz plays
I feel your pain. I loathe Keira Knightly and am so very disappointed that she is Anna. She already ruined Elizabeth Bennett and now she's about to ruin another well-loved literary character. However, that male cast is outstanding. Still, it will not be enough to entice me to hand over my money.
I so cannot wait to see Bad Teacher. I crack up every time I watch the trailers.
Happy Monday Dezzy, I am back, so you can call off the search party and stand down the national guard. I had a great Holiday, but it is back to the grind now.
@Melsy yep, she ruined too many possibly good films with her atrocious acting and presence. ATONEMENT would be one of the examples. BAD TEACHER really is super hilarious, even for me who don't usually go for brutal or physical humor :)
@Falsy he he ... yep, Cameron really is naughty, naughty, naughty in this one. I can't think of anyone else who could fit the role better than her :)
@Luanne angry? I don't see it :) He is just eying us seductively from the picture taken for Burberry or Dunhill adds, I'm not sure which one.
@Emily it really is extremely funny, and I also find the plump actress who is playing her colleague, extremely funny :)Justin Timberlake is also amazing as always.
@Summer glad you agree with me on KK, I love that we are not using her name :)
@Lyndy glad you like the trailer and Jude's picture :) I have the whole photo shoot with Jude :) in my archive.
@Lurk it will be :)
@Custie search party? National guard? Don't flatter yourself :) I've sent only Major, Private and Kowalski after you,but even they aborted the mission as soon as they came upon the first sardine shop :PPPP Nice to have you back :)
Ectasia sounds like a rather strange concept. I guess I would be curious to see where they take this story. I do like alternate universe stories when done well.
@Clarissa yep, that's exactly my emotion too, Clarissa :(
@Lee I love alternate reality too and sf in general as you know, and this story sounds rather intriguing, I love films on strange futuristic societies.
@Jaccsy that's what you noticed? :))
@MAry he he ... I love naming cats after literary characters too :) My cat was named Zelda after Scott. Fitzgeralds crazy wife :)
WOW, Aaron, Matthew and Jude in a movie by Joe Wright?? I think ANNA KARENINA has become one of my top anticipated 2012 movies!! I love that photo of Jude in that leather jacket, Dezzy.
I laugh at the trailers every time too! I know this movie is going to be hilarious. I can’t wait to rent this movie and watch in my home theater.

ReplyDeleteDezz - Jude Law looks angry like he missed the bus. :P

ReplyDeletesegel!!! <3 :)
Umm, thank you for the Matthew McFadden pict. I've been a fan since he played Mr Darcy!
ReplyDeleteHavin' a great Monday. Two outta three to see. Anna Karenina, not so much. Actually not at all :)
ReplyDeleteAnna Karenina is such a classic. I wish they had a better main character. However, I do like Matthew MacFadyen a lot. I would watch just to see him.

Tossing It Out
emotional Viagra? That sounds quite amusing :)
ReplyDeleteI <3 Tolstoy. I named one of my cats after Anna Karenina. I call her Nini for short. The other is named after that Dr. Quin, Medicine Woman show. lol
ReplyDeleteI fixed my stupid commenting. Yay! You have to uncheck the stupid 'remember me' box. Now I feel really lame.
@Vics
ReplyDeleteI love how we are not saying her name :))
You're into Segal, didn't know that :PPP
@Lydia
be welcome, we love MacFadyen a lot too :)
@MAry
I thought you would be into Tolstoy :)and Russian classics. I spent my childhood reading those in tones.
