According to "Variety" Australian/Croatian star
Eric Bana, whom we haven't seen a lot lately, will take the lead role in
Robert Luketich's (LEGALLY BLONDE) film
BRILLIANT. Following the latest Hollywood trend of heist movies, the story will revolve around a small-time criminal who joins accomplished thieves in a huge diamond heist. Bana doesn't have a lot of future projects in his sleeve. He is slated to star in
BLACKBIRD in which he and
Olivia Wilde will star as two fugitive siblings who come across a boxer (
Charlie Hunnam) who was recently released from prison. After that he will again be a criminal in
BY VIRTUE FALL a film about an ex-con who seeks revenge upon his mentor who framed him for a crime he didn't commit.

I'm a few days late with this one, but here it is now - the first trailer for
ONE FOR THE MONEY, a movie adaptation of famous book series by
Janet Evanovich. Popular
Katherine Heigl portrays Stephanie Plum the main character of the sixteen mystery bestsellers. Stephanie Plum's got plenty of attitude, even if she's been out of work for the last six months and just lost her car to a debt collector. Desperate for some fast cash, Stephanie turns to her last resort: convincing her sleazy cousin to give her a job at his
bail bonding company... as a recovery agent. The film should open up in cinemas next January.

Hmmm. Not the way I pictured the Evanovich characters.
ReplyDeleteNo spark in Morrelli here.
I'm very excited about Justin being in Neil's biopic. He was a huge influence and the world lost him far too soon, though he did leave behind an amazing legacy.
ReplyDeleteToo cool about Eric being in the same film with Charlie Hunnam.You know how I love that blond hottie. Can't wait for the new Res Evil either. Alice is a GREAT character for women, and I can't wait to see Milla in The Three Musketeers in couple of weeks.
Never read the Evanovich novels, but the clip was kind of funny. I remember wanting the biggest gun too when I started with the Sheriff's dept. :)
ReplyDelete"Fresh air is good for the boys." ROFL. That's a great line. Don't know if I'll like the whole movie. ONE FOR THE MONEY is a great title though and I like Katherine H. So we'll see.
ReplyDeleteI'm not enthused by the movies themselves; but I could look at the lead actors all day :)
ReplyDelete.......dhole
I've not seen Oded in anything since the first Deuce Bigalow movie. It'll be good to see if he's still got it :)
ReplyDeleteSeems like a lot of famous people die at age 39. Wonder what it is about that age. I don't have to worry about that age anymore.

Tossing It Out
Big Eric Bana fan, someone says that because he lives in Australia he's a little out of the Hollywood loop but he seems fine with it.
ReplyDeleteGod another one of her movies, it's always the same thing over and over and over again with her.
ReplyDelete@Mary
ReplyDeleteI was surprised to notice that most ladies around the Net didn't like the actor. Don't know why? He seems charming enough to me.
@Melsy
ah, you and girl power :) I wouldn't be surprised to discover that with first dark you throw on a black catsuit and a cape on you and go surfing the streets of Chicago in search of naughty spank-deserving criminals :)
@Luanne
I think I would have the biggest of fun listening to your own stories about your career of a sheriff deputy :)
@Shells
ReplyDeleteit sounds like a nice little film which could cheer us up next January
@Donnzie
that's the spirit!
@Jamie
I'm not sure, but I think he appeared in some of the previous RESIDENT EVIL films too. But I'm not sure
@Lee
ReplyDeleteand lots of them die at the age of 33 and that's my current age :)
@Lurk
yep, it's not easy leading business from Australia.
@Pat
yep, but most people like light comedies and romcoms :)
I haven't read the books, so I have no idea what to think of the movie, chick flick?
ReplyDeletea chick flick it is :)
ReplyDeleteI like Eric Bana, so it's nice to see him doing something.
ReplyDeleteI do find it interesting that Oded Fehr is going to be in the new RESIDENT EVIL movie, especially since his character died in the third one.
Keeping my fingers crossed for Eric Bana. I'm a fan but I didn't like his last couple of movies. Hope springs eternal! :)
ReplyDeleteYAY! Stephanie Plum adaptation. Soo cool.
ReplyDeleteNice blog!

I'm glad they're finally doing a Plum novel. And it's actually funny funny not cheesy funny. And the best thing is, there will be sequels!
ReplyDeleteChrist, ONE FOR THE MONEY looks grim.
ReplyDelete@Josh
ReplyDeleteheh, you know everything is possible in those zombie movies :)
@Sam
it's true, he doesn't have a lot of good movies in his CV, although he himself is a nice actor and has quite a lot of charisma :(
@Jessie
ReplyDeleteI guess you read the novels :) I hear they are quite popular among the female readers
@Gizmo
thanks, Gizmo, I'll pop over to your place ASAP :)
@Clarissa
ReplyDeleteyep, there were funny moments in the film, and the actors are quite cute. There will be sequels only if the first one scores well, which is unlikely since there are no blockbusters in January
@Movies
he he .... I thought you like chick flicks :P
XOXO to you too
ReplyDeleteLMAO!!! Spankalicious bad boys and me in a catsuit...Are you sure you're not the erotica writer, Dez? ;)
ReplyDelete'tis true, I'm the mastermind hiding behind all of the biggest erotica bestsellers and websites :) Although I'm not sure "erotica" is the right word :PP
ReplyDeleteMaybe it is the right thing after Grey Anatomy became weirdo and Katherine Heigl left it, she should apply into real medical school and become a good doctor instead of going around doing senseless things like what she is doing now !
ReplyDeleteGrey Anatomy became weird, not her....but she has been pulled into other mediocre activities afterward !
