One of our three favourite Kates (beside Blanchett and Zeta Jones),
Kate Winslet has just signed on for a new role: as "MovieWeb" reports she will join
Catherine Keener in
FRANK OR FRANCIS, in which the story revolves around an online war that develops between a successful filmmaker (
Steve Carell) and a movie blogger (
Jack Black).
Nicolas Cage will play an actor known for commercial successes such as Fat Dad, while
Kevin Kline will play the director's brother. It is still not known whom will
Kate Winslet and
Catherine Keener play. The film is being written and directed by
Charlie Kaufman who already worked with Kate on dreadfully boring ETERNAL SUNSHINE OF THE SPOTLESS MIND for which she received an Oscar nod.
MIRROR MIRROR HUMOUR
A super delightful second trailer for
Tarsem's charming fairy tale
MIRROR MIRROR has been released today, and it focuses on the lovely humour in the film. It seems that in the sea of morbidly dark projects this film will be the one for all family to enjoy and you can take
your kids to see it too. Ready to premiere March 30th, the movie follows an evil enchantress (
Julia Roberts) who schemes and scrambles for control of a spirited orphan’s
(Lily Collins) throne and the attention of a charming prince (
Armie Hammer). When Snow White’s beauty wins the heart of the prince that she desperately pursues, the Queen banishes
her to the forest, where a ravening man-eating beast hungrily awaits. Rescued by a band of diminutive highway robbers, Snow White grows into an indomitable young woman determined to take back her realm
from the treacherous Queen. With the support of her subjects, she roars into action in an epic battle that blends spectacle, magic and contemporary humour in Singh’s signature, jaw-dropping visual style.
WALKING DEAD HORROR
Are you ready for the second part of the second season of AMC's
THE WALKING DEAD zombie series? The exciting trailer has just been released, check it out bellow. The final six episodes will start airing February 12th and we shall finally find out if the heroes will leave Hershell's farm or stay there a bit longer, now that the mystery around
the missing girl has been solved. We shall also find out if
John Bernthal (sheriff's deputy) will really leave the show as the latest gossips suggest, which would mean that his character will probably be thrown to the zombies or something (not that anyone will shed tears for that evil brute with serious identity issues). As I reported before the third season has already been ordered and it will have 16 episodes.
Well the walking dead does look better, but than that wouldn't take a whole lot and I'll believe it when I see it.
ReplyDeletehope they will refrain from hurting kids in the finale, they will lose me forever if they do that...
DeleteOops, I shouldn't have read the last part. No cable here so I have to wait for it to show up on DVD or hulu or something. But it is all okay, no spoilers.
ReplyDeletehe he :) It is one of the most exciting shows out there
DeleteOkay, I think I'm starting to get the vibe of Tarsem's Snow White now. That was a cute trailer. Love the little sparkle in Armie's smile. :D
ReplyDeleteespecially when he is under puppy spells LOL
DeleteEveryone love the walking dead :) Except allot of old people :-/
ReplyDeleteit's a popular show
DeleteYes, I'd go see "Mirror Mirror"!
ReplyDeletethat's my girl!
DeleteI kind of don't like the idea of adapting Snow White (well, twice this year) just to make it completely different, but that might be just my conservative side fighting the modern cinema.
ReplyDeleteNew Nicolas Cage movie (woo!) great to know!
I like this one because it kept the warmth of fairy tales, but I'm against THE HUNTSMAN since I'm strongly opposed to the trend of extreme darkness in films
DeleteMirror, mirror, looks hilarious. Gonna see it.
ReplyDeleteit will make us smile a lot :)
DeleteMirror, Mirror sounds like a lot of fun. Can't wait to go and see it with a group of my gal pals. :0)
ReplyDeletegals and boys and kids it's a film for all!
DeleteI think i am just not the target audience for "Mirror Mirror"
ReplyDeleteYou're definitely not! But me is!
DeleteThe walking dead looks good,
ReplyDeletei'll go check it out, thanks
you won't regret it!
DeleteDezz - great sneak peeks! Mirror Mirror is definitely on my list and I will see it with my "kid" - should be pretty awesome if this trailer holds true.
ReplyDeleteI only started watching The Walking Dead last season; my "kid" has all the episodes on DVD and we had a serious "catch mother up" session; I'm hooked now.
However...I think they had a very lacklustre start last fall, so they had better pick up the "killing" tempo in these last six shows or they're off my "must watch" list! (oohh, aren't I nasty...I'd make a serious mess of those zombies - there'd be no second guessing who gets the bullet!)
You'd definitely want to be on my team if zombies came knocking!
Great post!
Jenny @ PEARSON REPORT
I'm also a fan of THE WALKING DEAD but I love it for all the interesting psychological questions and moral and mental situations they are faced with, and I love the profound suspense made with those elements instead with too much gore. That is why I actually got hooked, the first episode of the first season was all atmosphere.
DeleteWhen it comes to zombies, however, I'm not of Hershel kind, I'd never leave all those zombies in the barn.
I think I'll be seeing Mirror, Mirror, too. Have a great weekend~
ReplyDeleteyou will enjoy it, Lizzy, believe me! :)
DeleteMirror Mirror seems weird.
ReplyDeleteit does?
DeleteMirror does look good. The visuals hare amazing and the comedy element looks funny. I love zombies and if there's a zombie show and I don't like it, ti's because the show isn't doing it right. Winslow looks fabulous darling, and I'm glad to see her working.
ReplyDeleteglad you like the zombies, darling, they are much better than vampires.
DeleteWinslow or Winslet LOL does look spicy on that pic, doesn't she? :) She is like wine...
Cannot wait to see what happens on WD. I so hope Shane gets eaten, nasty brute. And so should Laurie for that matter.
ReplyDeleteI love the new trailer for Mirror, Mirror. And that is terrific news for Kate.I hope the film is better than it sounds.
Melissa, you and I are on the same page with Shane and Laurie!
DeleteYour comment brought a smile to my face! If those two don't get toasted I might have to call it a day!
@Melsy
Deleteyou know I share your emotion, sister :)
And the Kate film does seems a weird choice, I'd never appear myself next to Jack Black... I'd rather eat my shorts than be his colleague.
@Jenny
ah, Jenny sister, you haven't heard that Melsy and me positively despise both Shane and that Laurie witch. We'd accept to be turned into zombies ourselves just so that we could eat those two alive. Can't stand human garbage like the two of them.
Some of my friends said that the Walking Dead was going downhill near the end of the first season.
ReplyDeleteLet's hope the second one proves them wrong.
it it true, it got a bit boring, but the second season was a bit better. Still, it is one of the best written shows out there especially when it comes to atmosphere and drama.
DeleteDid you hear Kate is getting an honorary César award this year?
ReplyDeleteA bit premature I think, but she still deserves the recognition.
I haven't, but that sounds brilliant, she and Blanchett and Collette deserve all the possible awards and recognition since those are the three best actresses that have ever walked this Earth.
DeleteJulia Roberts..... evil? I'd like to see that. Where do I get a ticket, Dezz?
ReplyDeletejust send me $100 bucks and I'll secure a ticket for you :)
DeleteI really need to see the Walking Dead one of this day
ReplyDeleteyou might like it, Novia, since I know you love horrors :)
DeleteDezzy...it's all about the excitement and drama, right...
ReplyDeleteI'll set the scene...I've just returned to read your witty and clever replies and I ALWAYS take a look at your SPY ON THESE CHARMERS TOO blog roll (secretly wishing I was on it)...this is what happened next:
(the screenplay version)
"woman sees her name on list, does double take; begins to bounce wildly up and down on her chair; jumps up and Happy Dances throughout the main floor of her home, like a kid at Christmas; her little dog is startled but howls along in tune with the woman's crazed shoutings (to no one in particular as she lives alone) "I'm on his list, I'm on his list, oh my god I'm on his list!"...
And that's how it happened...over here at my place!
AAAHHHH - I'm on your list! Okay, I'm trying to breath...
You made my day! Thanks Dezz!
Hugs, Jenny
LOL you're a bit on the crazy side, you know :))
DeleteYou've been in the blogroll for some time now. You've been in it before as well, but at some point last year you've disappeared and I tend to erase people from the blogroll when they go missing, since it is a special place for regular visitors and commenters and I don't like having dead links in it :) But now you're back and the blogroll welcomes you :)
oh yay, looking forward to both. Mirror Mirror looks so charming :)
ReplyDeletesuper charming (that doesn't count Julia) :)
Deleteyay! mirror, mirror!!! :)
ReplyDeleteyay and yeepee :)
