Have you noticed that Saturday is usually the day for fairy tale news? As "MovieWeb" reports,
Disney's live action fairy tale
MALEFICENT
might get young
Elle Fanning (she is just thirteen years old) as princess Aurora. As you remember from
our previous posts, the film will be the adaptation of the famous
SLEEPING BEAUTY but this time it will be told from the Evil Godmother's perspective.
Angelina Jolie has been attached to the main role for a few years now and she probably won't have any problems showing her natural villainous side in the film. The screenplay has been written by the scribe of ALICE IN WONDERLAND. We've seen little Fanning last year in the flop WE BOUGHT A ZOO and in SUPER 8.
HOLLYWOOD SPY HEADLINES
We haven't seen much of
Jessica Alba lately, but in one of her future gigs she will appear in
A.C.O.D. the film which centres on a grown man (
Adam Scott) who was forced as a child to be the adult of the household when his parents were going through their divorce. He tries to keep his bitter family together when his younger brother unexpectedly announces he's getting married. The title is an acronym for Adult Children of Divorce.
According to "Deadline" animated film
GNOMEO & JULIET, which earned almost $200 million around the world last year, will get its sequel
GNOMEO & JULIET: SHERLOCK GNOMES in which the two of them will hire "the greatest ornamental detective" Sherlock Gnomes, when gnomes start disappearing from their lawns.
Emily Blunt and
James McAvoy are expected to lend their voices again, and
Elton John will again compose the music.
The second trailer for upcoming ensemble comedy
WHAT TO EXPECT WHEN YOU'RE EXPECTING has been released this week and you must watch it since it is extremely hilarious :) and strangely, just like the first one, it doesn't really feature the pregnant ladies from the cast but all the funny fathers dealing with their newborns. Opening May 18th and starring
Cameron Diaz, Jennifer Lopez, Brooklyn
Decker, Anna Kendrick, Joe Manganiello, Rodrigo Santoro, Matthew Morrison, Elizabeth Banks, Dennis Quaid... the film is based on the 16 million copy best-selling book, bringing a modern look at love through the eyes of four interconnected couples experiencing the thrills and surprises of having a baby, and ultimately coming to understand the universal truth that no matter what you plan for, life doesn't always deliver what's expected.
I liked Elle in Super 8. Gnomeo and Julliet was surprisingly good.
ReplyDeletehope the sequel will be equally charming :)
DeleteWhat to expect does look like it should be a pretty good one, we shall see as always though. Can't say I mind seeing Alba back, beats Spy Kids 4..haha
ReplyDeleteOh. Spy Kids, don't even mention it, Pats...
Deletehahaha I found your achilles heel, it's Spy Kids!
DeleteDon't torment Dezz Cat. Annzie won't stand for it. I'll fling a drum stick at you, if you even upset him a wee bit.
Delete'tis a serious thing, Annzie, Pats threatening poor Dezzy with SPY KIDS like that /shakingfromfear/
DeleteWhat to expect when you're expecting sounds like a pretty sweet movie, together with all those actors and actresses!
ReplyDeleteit will be hilarious :)
DeleteElle Fanning from Super 8! Ah that was a great movie!
ReplyDeleteit was a nice one
DeleteDude, Super 8 was not a flop. It was an awesome movie. *shakes head*
ReplyDeleteyes, it wasn't, it earned about 250 million around the world, the flop was more intended for WE BOUGHT A ZOO :)
DeleteYes, THAT was a flop. I won't even be renting that one on DVD. :))
Deleteand it could've been a heartwarming wonder if they had warm people in it instead of those frigidly cold Matt Damon and Scarlett.
DeleteFinally decided to check your blog from Pat's blog...Interesting posts ...I did watch Gnome and Juliet with my daughter but I don't think I will watch the sequel ~
ReplyDeleteThere are Fairy tale remakes/movies coming out soon...The trailer looks interesting but the buzz on Hunger Games is bigger though. With the success of its books, it will do well in box office ~
Nice to meet you ~
Hey, Heaven, welcome to HOLLYWOOD SPY, hope we will be seeing you here often :)
DeleteI try not to cover HUNGER GAMES here, since we do not support films in which kids and teens are put in violent situations and are presented as assassins, killers and action stars.
Looks like you owe the cat one now Dez. I don't take check or credit either, just so you know..haha
Deleteoh, please, Cat, if I start charging you for the international and intergalactic marketing I do for you here, you would be paying it off in next three lives of yours :)
DeleteCKGER..getting it in the ANNESS right about now.
ReplyDeleteGERIZZO finally doing the DON JUAN.
And GATES taking out HOUSE.
EFIFORDE- EFFICAME?
TEXAS HATS are " OFF".
I hear you, brother, sister, I hear you...
DeleteHahahaha...I had the same he/she leave a crazy message on my blog too. Yours make much more sense though. :PP
DeleteI haven't gotten this one on my page yet. These silly people get their kicks in strange ways.
Deletesuch an outspoken and wise person that Anonymous is :)
DeleteAnne, I wonder what they are wearing while posting these things? SM outfits? Thongs? :)
I'm going to begin by saying that Angelina Jolie is a freak and I wish she'd just crawl back under the rock she gave from so I never have to look at her again. I've not seen the Gnome movie so I don't know what a second one would be like. What To Expect When Your Expecting has tremendous potential and mass appeal for we women who owned that book during our pregnancy's. It's been in print so long that my niece used it when she was pregnant with her children. I'd love to see that movie with her.
ReplyDeleteYep, I can't stand Jolie, and she is persona non grata here in Serbia after all the evil she did to us in that flop of her directorial debut.
DeleteI'd like to burn her as a witch. Then I'd dissolve her bones with lye. Her is a she-devil with a soul straight from the heart of hell.
Deletethere were only 12 people at the Serbian premier of the film, and Belgrade has almost 2 million citizens :)
DeleteWhat to Expect looks pretty funny, something I didn't expect as I'm not a fan of these type of comedies. I think this book is non-fiction and been in print since the 80's or something. Of course, they did add aliens to the boardgame Battleship. :)
ReplyDeleteElle is going to be big. She was awesome in Super 8.
it is really hilarious :) even though I'm not always the fan of such kind of immature humour, but it is funny :) I reckon pregnancy is something you should take with humour, otherwise it can wreck chaos :)
Deletelovely!!! What to ....seems to be an interesting one..... the poster and the title itself made me smile...wonder what impact movie will have :) thanks for sharing ....
ReplyDeletebe welcome, glad you liked it :)
DeleteI love that there's a way for Dudes to join the Dudes group on facebook. Funny! Hey, but who am I to judge...
ReplyDeletedudes gotta stick together when the going gets tough :)
Deletecome to think of it, I haven't seen much of Alba since she had her baby
ReplyDeleteyep, she's gone missing, or maybe she's been shooting films we don't notice :)
DeleteI'm interested to see how Maleficent will turn out. I enjoy twists on old stories.
ReplyDeleteit could be interesting
Delete"We haven't seen much of Jessica Alba lately..." all is well then, that girl can't act her way out of a paper bag.
ReplyDeleteThat 'expecting' movie doesn't look funny at all, probably only worth renting just to ogle that oh so sexy Rodrigo Santoro :D
yep, can't act, but pretty as hell :)
DeleteWe do love us some Santoro any time :)
I know exactly what to expect! (Yawn) Dirty diapers and peeing babies. Must be fun!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see Jess in a movie again : )
ReplyDeletenice to hear that :)
