Now these are amazingly amazing news :) "Variety" reports that
Kate Winslet has joined
Kenneth Branagh's wonderful movie adaptation of
THE GUERNSEY LITERARY AND POTATO PEEL PIE SOCIETY novel by
Annie Barrows and
Mary Ann Schaffer, in which the story centers on a group of London residents who are displaced to the island town of Guernsey after World War II.
Kate Winslet will portray a magazine columnist who begins corresponding with a man from Guernsey, and learns how they used the book club to outsmart the Germans occupying the island. The writer takes a journey to Guernsey, where her life is forever changed. I've heard only warm impressions on this lovely book, so I'm really excited about the film which starst shooting this April. I'm excited about Winslet's and Branagh's collaboration as well, since they were absolutely stunning in HAMLET!
HOLLYWOOD SPY HEADLINES
According to "Deadline"
CW is negotiating with
DC to make a TV show out of their
GREEN ARROW comic about a superhero who first appeared back
in the 1940's dressed like Robin Hood who is an archer using trick arrows, including glue, net, tear gas and even kryptonite arrows. His secret identity is billionaire Oliver Queen.
Luc Besson produced sf action LOCK OUT, which just changed its name into a rather stupid
MS ONE: MAXIMUM SECURITY has got its official release date on April 20th. Shot last year in Serbia and starring
Guy Pearce, the story of this thrilling film revolves around a wrongly accused prisoner who is promised his freedom if he infiltrates a space jail hovering above Earth in order to free the warden's daughter from the crazed prisoners who have organized a rebellion .Check out
the trailer I've posted last year!
Definitely one of the stars which will be all present in cinemas this years,
Josh Hutcherson, has a number of big blockbusters scheduled for 2012, including his roles in THE HUNGER GAMES and JOURNEY
2: THE MYSTERIOUS ISLAND next to
Dwayne Johnson, but this March he also has the leading role in this charming little feature called
CARMEL BY THE SEA in which he plays a fifteen year old art prodigy abandoned by his drug addicted mother who then finds refuge in the picturesque art village of Carmel-by-the-sea. While trying to survive on his own, he is introduced to the underground world of art forgery. The cast of this lovely looking movie includes some nice names from young and gorgeous
Hayden Panettiere, to
Lauren Bacall, Alfred Molina, LORD OF THE RINGS'
Billy Boyd and a bunch of people from
Clint Eastwood's family, since if I remember correctly, Clint is or was the mayor of this little town in reality?

There's so many greens in comics...why is that? Green hornet, green lantern and now green arrow. Plus he looks like wolverine with the arros poking out of his wrist. lol.
ReplyDeletePlus I'm with you on the strange name change for MS ONE: MAXIMUM SECURITY.
Because, as you can notice, green is the colour of elven power, goodness and justice.
DeleteI've no idea why they've changed from LOCK OUT to that peculiar title
Love the Kate and Kenneth project. It should be a wonderful movie. Green Arrow...To quote my nephew "whatevs."
ReplyDeleteCarmel-By-The-Sea is really intriguing. I love the cast. And you're right, Clint was the mayor of this little town for a number of years.
I think I will be in love with the Branagh Winslet project, especially since so many people have told me the book is lovely
DeleteSo, Clint is no longer the mayor? I think he even bought the place, or was that Kim Basinger who has a town of her own?
It was Basinger who had the town. Eastwood was only mayor one term, I could have sworn it was longer. :)
DeleteI'm going to check Guernsey book out of the library. I really want to read it. :)
imagine being owned by Basinger, she is quite weird privately, isn't she? One of the most undeserving Oscar winners ever beside Halle Berry, Hellen Hunt, Natalie Portman and Gwyneth Paltrow
DeleteI absolutely agree. :)
DeleteI've had The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society novel on my TBR list forever. I MIGHT have it read before the movie comes out. :P
ReplyDeletethis is your last push to read it :)
DeleteThat is a very stupid title change, too much of a mouth full. Green Arrow you say? Hmph seen him enough on smallville rather have a batman one. Carmel looks like it might be good too.
ReplyDeleteBatman show should get into production after the movie version finishes according to previous rumours which also said that Karl Urban is being kept for the lead role
DeleteI had never heard about Green Arrow. :s
ReplyDeleteI haven't either, before this post :)
DeleteKate. <3
ReplyDeleteyep :)
DeleteExcited about Kate's n' Kenneth's project!
ReplyDeleteCarmel...looks great! I think Clint's wife is in this clip. Sure looks like her...
Yes, green power rules ;D
she is, both his wife and his son.
DeleteJust saw "War Horse" this afternoon -- great movie!
ReplyDeletethat's lovely, Debs!
DeleteSounds great looking forward to watching these.
ReplyDeleteglad you like it
DeleteOh I am very excited about the Guernsey Literary Society... movie. Kate Winslet was a first choice for so many fans of the book to play the main character. Now if only they could get Richard Armitage on board for Dawsey I could die happy! :)
ReplyDeleteyep, I know a lot of people love the book, can't wait for the film!
DeleteHayden Panettiere. Any movie she is in is worth watching..
ReplyDeleteWeird Funny News
she is very charismatic and lovely!
DeleteI talked to Pat and he said to switch browsers, he was right, I can comment on everyone's pages again. I missed you Dez! Kate looks fab in this movie, and with Kenneth, oh yeah, I'm going. Camel by the Sea wouldn't normally do it for me, but with Lauren Bacall in it, I'd give it a whorl.
ReplyDeleteyep, I told you about switching to another browser, IE is always the worst solution in all possible cases. Nice to have you back :)
Deletewow wee woo wah!! Miss Winslet is looking hot in that image... yummy!!
ReplyDeletethat's the reaction I wanted to provoke while choosing that pic :) She was lovely yesterday at the Globes too!
DeleteI don't know about the Green Arrow one but the one with Kate Winslet looks good, though it has a super long title.
ReplyDeletelong, but a charming one, you must admit :)
Deletemmmmm Winslet is a tasty little crumpet
ReplyDeleteLOL
Deletelooks sweet! can't wait to check them out and watch these
ReplyDeleteglad to hear that :)
DeleteLauren Bacall! omg. And I love Hayden Panitterie. I don't think I spelled that right... :D But everybody it seems has raved to me about how good the GL&PPS is. Now a movie... I've got to read it FAST. :D LOVE Kate Winslet~
ReplyDeletePanetierre :) Or is it double T? lol it's possible she has problem spelling it herself, but she is sooo cute.
DeleteInterested to see how the Green Arrow will turn out. He's not as well known as the others is he?
ReplyDeletehe is not, but looks interesting and you know me loves green :)
DeleteEven with a new title i still don't have much interest in the Guy Pierce movie. He's a great actor but the trailer didn't impress me at all.
ReplyDeleteAnd while i like Hayden Caramel doesn't look like something i would rush out to see
sorry to hear that
DeleteCarmel looks interesting. I've never heard of Green Arrow before.
ReplyDeleteI haven't either :)
Deletecarmel might be pretty good...
ReplyDeleteIt might :)
DeleteI'm still on the fence about Josh Hutcherson, I hope he'll do well in Hunger Games. Carmel has a great supporting cast, wow, Bacall and Molina are both great, I might rent it because of them.
ReplyDeletequite a strong cast,isn't it?
Delete
