in OUTCAST. Budgeted at $25 million, the film is set in 10th Century China, and follows a warrior who attempts to redeem himself by saving a princess. It is currently not known who of the two of them will play the warrior and who will be the princess :) Meanwhile, Michael Curtis (MY WEEK WITH MARILYN) will do a movie adaptation of Edith Wharton's novel BUCCA- NEERS about five wealthy, ambitious American socialites who tire of trying to find suitable husbands in New York. So they head to England to take part in the London season and track down landed but impoverished gentlemen who would make likely matches.
HOLLYWOOD SPY HEADLINES
According to "Variety" Julianne Moore and DOWNTON ABBEY's Michelle
Dockery have joined Liam Neeson in NON STOP, a $50 million air-flight
action-thriller in which Neeson plays a federal air
marshal who starts receiving text messages from someone claiming to be on the same flight, and who is threatening to kill its passengers. Racing against the clock, Neeson's character must identify and stop the killer. The same website reports about Ralph Fiennes, whom you will soon be watching in new James Bond movie, joining the cast of THE GRAND BUDAPEST HOTEL. Set in Europe, the film will, off course, deal with the guests and employees of the Hungarian hotel. Fiennes is set to play a character named M. Gustave, who serves as the hotel's perfectly composed concierge. The cast also includes Bill Murray, Edward Norton, Jeff Goldbloom, Adrien Brody, Willem Dafoe and Jude Law. Angela Lansbury and Johnny Depp have, in the meantime, left the project.

"HITCHCOCK" TRAILER
Here's something that will most definitely win lots of Oscars next year: the first, long awaited, trailer for ensemble drama with elements of comedy HITCHCOCK. The movie brings a love story about one of the most influential film makers of the last century, Alfred Hitchcock, and his wife and partner Alma Reville with whom he was married for more than 50 years until his death. She also collaborated with him on some of his movies and was his editor and advisor. The film actually takes place during the making of Hitchcock's seminal movie PSYCHO and depicts both his professional and private problems which he had to overcome in order to shoot his legendary movie. The marvellous cast is lead by Anthony Hopkins in stunning portrayal of the famous director, British thespian Helen Mirren is outstanding in the role of his witty and ironic wife, Scarlett Johannson plays Hollywood diva Janet Leigh, Jessica Biel is Vera Miles, Toni Collette is Hitchcock's assistant Peggy Robertson, James D'Arcy is Anthony
Perkins.... The film premiers at Los Angeles film festival on November 1st and then hits American cinemas later the same month. It is interesting that we have another film on the famous director coming out this year: THE GIRL which focuses on Hitchcock's (Toby Jones) work with Tippi Hedren (Sienna Miller) who claims to be provoked and molested by the director during her career.
Hopkins is damn near unrecognizable!
ReplyDeletemy thought exactly, Joshie!
DeleteHayden needs to just stop with the acting. Its not for him.
ReplyDeleteNow...Hitchcock looks just WOW! Even after I realized that was Anthony Hopkins, it still wasn't registering. The movie looks great! Must see!
he should go back to modelling :) He is nice to look at, but not to watch.
DeleteAmen. He made watching a Star Wars movie hurt me. In more ways than one. But he is pretty. I would never mind seeing him in a magazine. Just not defiling the silver screen.
Deleteah, yes, he and that Portman wench were horrid beyond limits, never seen such horrid actors (not counting KStew and RPats) :)
DeleteKStew and RPats should have a special category for their utter awfulness.
Deleteyep the "Lord, please, put us in oblivion" category :)
DeleteWowza; I didn't recognise Hopkins as Hitchcock! That'll be a strange one to watch.
ReplyDeleteJamie
he is utterly unrecognisable!
DeleteHopkins looks brilliant and very weird!
ReplyDeletemethinks Hitchcock was very much weird himself :)
DeleteNot sure what to think of the Hitchcock trailer. For one thing, the birds were screeching outside my rear window as I watched it. Very disturbing. Gave me a case of vertigo. Those psycho birds. :PP
ReplyDeleteah, sister, I've always claimed birds are evil creatures (not counting little owls and baby ducks :) And, before you ask, penguins are not birds, but naval spies :)
DeleteHitchcock! Looks great...and I agree, I didn't realize it was Hopkins until I saw the cast listing.
ReplyDeleteHope it turns out as well as promised. :)
fingers crossed, Okie :)
DeleteI think Julianne Moore is getting too old for shots like that...even with the wonders of photoshop.
ReplyDeleteshe just loves posing nude, she was always like that, I think she's the actress with biggest number of nude pics :)
DeleteI really want to watch Hitchcock!
ReplyDeleteJulianne Moore looks too shopped in that photo.
she always has photos like that :)
DeleteThird time here and every time my kids walk in and I can't listen to the trailer. I'll try again in the morning LOL
ReplyDeleteeverybody deserves a half hour daily of being locked alone in a room with his HOLLYWOOD SPY :) Let them wait outside :)
Deletethat look is amazing... hitchcock, i had to look a couple of times.
ReplyDeletepeople seem to like it, Zombie!
DeleteIsn't it strange how 2 or more films about the same theme or person always seem to be released at the same time?
ReplyDeletecertainly is, Debs
DeleteQuitting ahead at the age of 60 - I love it! Hitchcock looks fantastic!! I can't even imagine what it must have been like to be married to him.
ReplyDelete~ I'm off to unlock the door so the family can come back in the house =PPP
he was a looney for sure, but it takes a looney to marry a looney as well :)
DeleteYeepee! The kids can be fed finally :PPP
Ooh I am in love with the Hitchcock pic! That trailer was incredible.
ReplyDeleteAnd with Mic Cage and Hden C, it's all bad. Love that snarky comment about the princess. You are so bad, sweetie. ;)
the one with the knife? :)
DeleteYou know you like me semigood, semibad :)
Hope Hayden is the princess, darling, Cage's eyebrows wouldn't go with silk kimonos....
LOL I couldn't even spell their names right!
ReplyDeleteMic Cage LOL :)
DeleteI just saw the trailer for Hitchcock last night. It look pretty good.
ReplyDeleteThey did a good job making Scarlett Johannson look like Janet Leigh.
too bad she doesn't have any of Janet's acting talent :)
DeleteI loved Hitchock movies; but after this movie I heard terriblr things about him; he was so cruel with actress. Is true Dezz???
ReplyDeleteit is true, Gloria, he wasn't a nice man :(
DeleteAniway Anthony Hopkins is amazing!!
ReplyDeletehe is :)
Deleteexcluding outcast with the terrible Haydesen (or something like that...too lazy to scroll to get his proper name)...the rest of the movies sound great, and have amazing casts.
ReplyDeleteI am most intrigued with Hitchcock. At first, I dont think Hopkins is perfect as him but after seeing the trailler...he isn't bad afterall.
Cage is equally terrible :)
DeleteYeah...but he didn't play in one of my fav sci-fi movies, Star Wars.
DeleteThat hayden guy ruined the movie.
