THIRD PERSON which will be directed by Oscar winner
Paul Haggis (CRASH) who also wrote the story: as "Variety" reports
Mila Kunis, James Franco and
Casey Affleck have joined
Liam Neeson and
Olivia Wilde in the film which follows the inter-connected stories of three couples all living in different cities, Rome, Paris, and New York. Each couple and city represent different phases of a relationship, with Rome representing the beginning, Paris the middle, and New York the end.
Liam Neeson and
Olivia Wilde will portray the Paris couple, a pair of writers, while
Mila Kunis and
James Franco will play the troubled New York couple. Casey Affleck will play a part of the new couple who take a road trip through Italy.
HOLLY WOOD SPY HEAD LINES
Beside the story on Noah in sf epic with
Russell Crowe, it seems we shall get another Biblical story on the big screen: according to "Deadline", Warner Bros. will put a
new spin on
PONTIUS PILATE. Produced by BREAKING BAD producer, the story of the film follows the entire life of Lucius Pontius Pilate, the son of a Roman knight and a cunning warrior in his own right. He is assigned to become the prefect of Judea, where his arrogance clouds his judgment and causes the public to despise him. This leads to his decision on the fate of Jesus Christ, a man claiming to be the King of the Jews.
Good news for all of you who liked last year's hit on the Norse god is that sequel
THOR: DARK WORLD will have gorgeous
Kat Dennings again in the role of crazy Darcy Lewis.
Chris Hemsworth and
Tom Hiddleston are leading the cast again.
THE IMPOSSIBLE TRAILER
Last year, I showed you
a Spanish trailer for deeply touching movie
THE IMPOSSIBLE with
Ewan McGregor and Naomi Watts in the lead roles, but now you can check out the English one. They play a family caught in
the tsunami that hit Thailand seven years ago: Maria,
Henry and their three sons begin their winter vacation in Thailand,
looking forward to a few days in tropical paradise. But on the morning
of December 26th, as the family relaxes around the pool after their
Christmas festivities, a terrifying roar rises up from the centre of the
earth. As Maria freezes in fear, a huge wall of black water races
across the hotel grounds toward her.
Henry grabs the two
youngest boys, but it’s too late: the wave smashes into him with
incredible force and dislodges his grip. Maria is pushed
underwater,
where she is crushed and battered by debris to the brink of death. She
finally surfaces in a raging black sea, which has completely submerged
her three-story hotel and the surrounding landscape. Maria gasps for
breath while she tries to understand what has just happened,
convinced
that her family has been obliterated in the blink of an eye. But then,
her eldest son, surfaces a few meters ahead in the wild flood.
Face-to-face with something unexpected and incomprehensible, she must
fight against all odds for her child’s survival. And her own.

Wow, those are some great special effects in The Impossible. So hard to imagine what it must have been like to see that wall of water crashing down.
ReplyDeletewater always gives me creeps, darling, that's why you and me live in the continental regions.
DeleteOh my gosh, Dezz, the trailer for The Impossible was so moving. It's left me on the verge of tears over here. Heartbreaking what all those people went through.
ReplyDeleteThird Person sounds like a good film. I can't believe how many movies Wilde and Kunis have been cast in lately - good for them =)
I'll be interested to see how they do PONTIUS PILATE...see how the story of him unfolds.
hope you clicked on the first trailer too, it's even more amazing and touching, since it's given from mother's point of view.
DeleteNo, I didn't...I thought it was the same trailer...headed over now. Thank you for telling me. Great, now I probably will cry!
DeleteIt was taken down =(((
Deleteit was the Spanish version that I posted last year, here it is, it's extremely dramatic and haunting:
Deletehttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=izFdOXfixNc&feature=related
Elsie...I did cry. I'm just a weepy girl these days I guess!!
DeleteThat opening scene was so much like what I saw in the news when it happened, it was chilling. Can you imagine having lived through something like that.
Deleteit's horrible, especially when you remember the stories of the people who survived. I remember the story of a man whom the wave throw right onto a palm three from which he watched his wife being smashed by the wave and taken to death. And he was helpless to do anything. Imagine parents with kids there, or all those people who lost homes there, people who are otherwise poor as well and had only that modest roof above their heads.
DeleteJust gut wrenching, watching it through the mom's eyes! It didn't even have to be in English for me to understand her pain and torment....ugh!
Deletethe whole film will be like that.
DeleteI will say that:
ReplyDeleteIMPOSSIBLE must be a good movie, but I don't like the trailer!
Like always with the trailers, I see too much of the story!
(perhaps, the story is different, but I would like to have more suspense, more interrogations..)
(... hey Dezmond: I've post some pics of my next LoTR vignette: Tom Bombadil!
... and I've made an error : Tom it's not a character of The Hoobit, I was thinking at Beorn!)
you should then click on the first trailer link in the post, Samwise and watch that one, it's very suspenseful :)
DeleteThe spanish version IS a trailer!!!
DeleteDo American people need to know the story before??? (maybe it's easier to understand!)
they probably do. You have a link for the amazing first teaser in my comment to Elsie above.
DeleteI've seen it!
Deleteglad to hear it
DeleteGood Thor news Dez!
ReplyDeleteglad you liked it, Lurk :)
DeleteThe Impossible looks quite intriguing. I can't even imagine what it might've been like for the survivors.
ReplyDeleteit's impossible to imagine, guess that's the point of the title
DeleteMila is a freakin' BOMBSHELL!!!!! WHOA, life is so unfair.
ReplyDeleteshe really is gorgeous, that's Slavic beauty for you :)
DeleteI remember those awful times....and the Impossible trailer is lovely...it moved me....
ReplyDeleteHope all is well Dez ~ How come I don't see you over at Pat anymore ...
the film will deeply move us too.
DeleteI'm no longer friends with him, sadly.
I like Mila
ReplyDeleteshe is very likeable
Deletethe third person sounds interesting, I wonder what connects them all.
ReplyDeleteImpossible trailer is also great...ah the tsunami, it brings back bad memory :(
hope your country wasn't devastated by the tsunami, Novia. But if I remember correctly your country is often under the threat of natural disasters :(
DeleteThird Person has a great cast! Cool people to share the screen together.
ReplyDeleteAnd Mila is gorgeous.
she really is, Kelso
DeleteI'm definitely going to see the Ewan McGregor movie. I love everything that he is in (big surprise, I know). It definitely looks like a new "spin" on a disaster flick. I realize that it's based on the devastating tsunami that rocked the Indian Ocean almost a decade ago, and therein may lie the reason why I'll probably enjoy it more than say, another Hollywood movie featuring yet another disaster. It's kind of like a "reinvention" of that kind of show, making it more galvanizing and real by pulling from modern headlines.
ReplyDeleteI'd rather call it a deep drama, not a disaster movie.
DeleteIt's a Spanish production, not a Hollywood one, which will probably give it more depth and quality.
I don't even know where to begin. Everything sounds good today..and like I said up there/\/\/\, The Impossible DID make me cry...and as it turns out I was JUST thinking about how I forgot how much I adore Ewan McGregor, so, yay!!
ReplyDeleteSeriously...everything sounds good today!
We do like Ewan don't we-he's scrumptious.
DeleteIt will never be clear to me why Ewan McGregor and Jude Law aren't world's biggest stars.
DeleteAn interesting cast of people for the Impossible movie. But it's a tad too depressing for my tastes.
ReplyDeleteimagine how depressing it was for them....
DeleteThe Impossible does look really good and it's based on a true story as well. The terror those people must have felt when that happened. I still remember those images of that impossible wave coming in, the sight of trees, cars, buses and people swirling through what used to be a city. Such devastation, but also such courage.
ReplyDeletePilate could be really good. He was quite the interesting fellow who found himself in an impossible situation.
I wonder how much have they recovered after that. We've seen the quick recovery of Japanese people after that tsunami and nuclear disaster of theirs two years ago, but this was in a very poor country.
DeleteI've always thought about Pontius that way too, darling. It's an impossible situation when you have to deal with religious fanatics or deeply religious people.
Wow, I remember the Spanish trailer for The Impossible and in the first few seconds I had to see this movie, even if it meant reading subtitles. I really cannot wait to see this in the theater. I love Ewan, he is simply amazing to watch. Always playing such diverse roles.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad they are doing this Pontius Pilate project. Always wondered if he was really the arrogant bad guy or just more likely caught up in circumstance. Great stuff as always, my friend. :)
yep, you have the Spanish teaser in my comment to Elsie above, it's very moving.
DeleteHope it will get worldwide release in Fall.
Hope the week is ending nicely for you, Melsy.
Chris Hemsworth!!! HOllaaaa :) :) So yummy :) The other night I saw an ad for Sons of Anarchy and I thought it was him!! Did you know Mr. Hunksworth has a twin?? lol
ReplyDelete...and about Mila Kunis! I was cleaning with Forgetting Sara Marshall on in the background yesterday. It totally reminded me that Ms. Kunis is sexy as hell! I love her too. :) :)
he has two brothers, one younger, the other older, both are actors :)
DeleteWow the Imposible sounds like it will be a fantastic touching movie! I'm so exited to see it I didn't watch the trailer so I'll be more surprized and moved when I watch the movie!!
ReplyDeleteit will be a great movie, possibly an award winning one if done good.
DeleteThat trailer for THE IMPOSSIBLE is heartbreaking. Part of my country was devastated by the tsunami so it was quite hard to watch for me.
ReplyDeleteyes, I always think of you and Novia and my dearest Samantha Soto when natural disasters hit that part of the world
