Well it seems that after her Oscar nominated performance in MY WEEKEND WITH MARILYN, super talented
Michelle Williams might have another
Oscarworthy role in the future. "Variety" writes that she will take the lead role in
Saul Dibb's (THE DUCHESS) new drama
SUITE FRANCA- ISSE. The story revolves around Lucille Angellier, a young woman in Nazi occupied France who falls for a young German soldier while her husband is off fighting the war. Her only escape is playing the piano, which piques the interest of the soldier who was a composer before the war. As you already know, three time Oscar nominee also stars in
OZ THE GREAT AND POWERFUL in which she will play good witch Glinda next year, alongside
Rachel Weisz, James Franco and
Milla Kunis. Earlier this year we've seen her as adulteress in
TAKE THIS WALTZ drama.
HOLLYWOOD SPY HEADLINES
In short movie news today, Danny DeVito will direct HONEYMOON WITH DAD.
According to "Variety" the story of this
movie follows an accountant
who was left at the alter. He is subsequently forced to spend what would
have been his honeymoon with his estranged father. Speaking of James
Franco, he will appear in THE GRACE THAT KEEPS THE WORLD next to Glenn
Close. "Deadline" says that the story follows a father and his sons who
are preparing for their hunting trip. Their lives are upended when a
young environmental cop begins investigating hunting violations, and
secrets are revealed that may tear this family apart.
EXCUSE ME FOR LIVING CLIP
It's been a poor week when it comes to new clips, so the only trailer I have for you today is for a film which is currently showing in cinemas: crazy drama
EXCUSE ME FOR LIVING is actually a romantic
comedy... in Recovery ! In theatres from October 12th, 2012 this movie brings the story of a charming suicidal druggie who must obey his rehab-clinic's demand to lead a seniors men's group or face incarceration and lose the love of his psychiatrist's daughter... As you will see in the trailer, it could be a rather cute and lovely movie in the end. The cast includes a lot of people whose names you might not know but you probably know their faces:
Tom Pelphrey, Christopher Lloyd, Robert Vaughn, Melissa Archer, Ewa Da Cruz, Dick Cavett, Wayne Knight and Jerry Stiller!

ReplyDeleteyou likey Michelle's? :)
DeleteI wouldn't kick her out of bed.
Deletewell, how could you, possibly? :)
DeleteCan't wait for Michelle's new projects, she is one of my favorite actresses. And that is a stunning pic of her.
ReplyDeleteI love the trailer for EMFL, it looks charming and sad and funny, a potent combo of emotion.
I had difficulties finding a nice pic of her, since she doesn't do a lot of photo sessions, but I see my boys like this one :)
DeleteI also loved EMFL immediately :)
I'm quite safe with these as they're not my cup of tea!
ReplyDeleteah, sorry, Lurk, I could pour some whiskey into the tea and make it your cup? :)
DeleteMichelle Williams is really getting around these days :)
ReplyDeleteLoved the trailer - and I didn't think I would. Thanks!
glad you liked the trailer, Carol :)
DeleteCan't say any of these really pique my interest either, though I am looking forward to the first sneak peak at the Oz movie. Hurry up with that, would you? :))
ReplyDelete'tis Saturday, the poor day in the news department :( Come to think of it, all days except Wednesday and Thursday are poor days, and sometimes even those two are poor :(
DeleteWe've had the trailer for OZ, darling, click the link within the post :)
Well, duh. I'd forgotten you'd posted that clip already. Had to go back and look again.
DeleteSorry things are slow in movie news, but you always give us beautiful pictures to look at no matter what. :))
I was thinking of doing a spotlight on it soon, but not enough new pics and posters from it yet :(
DeleteIt is interesting that the spotlights I do (usually on the days when there are no news) are the most visited of my posts, by far :) And people go back to them throughout the year.
Hi Dezzy - Michelle is gorgeous. I haven't watched any of her recent movies. I need to catch up on them.
ReplyDeleteyou'd probably like MY WEEKEND WITH MARILYN, Shells, Eddie Redmayne is superdelightful in it :)
DeleteExcuse Me Trailer is hilarious ~ Michelle's projects looks exciting ~ Thanks for all the updates dear ~
ReplyDeletebe welcome, darling, hope you are fine, haven't seen you around much recently :(
DeleteToo much work lately that it tires me to write and post ~
DeleteI like the new autumn design background dear ~ Keep warm ~
ah, sorry to hear that, Grace, hope Autumn will bring you some relaxation and more free time. We miss you when you're not here :)
DeleteGlad you like the falling leaves :)
Some great comedic talent in "Excuse Me For Living" but I wonder if the script will do them justice. Perhaps not, judging by the trailer.
ReplyDeletefingers crossed, the film is already in cinemas :)
DeleteI haven't seen anythign with franco since pineapple express
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen a lot of his work, either, Adam
DeleteI like Michelle, she will be brilliant!
ReplyDeleteOh, the clip is so fun~ I haven't seen Franco since the mountain flick...eeww! I like him, he will be great~
oooh, I love the look of autumn, so clever of you! ;D
glad you like the autumn look, Ella :) I've tried a couple of different designs last night and settled with this, since it brings warmth to gloomy Autumn days :)
DeleteExcuse me for Living looks like it could be the next 500 days of Summer.
ReplyDeleteit could, it could
DeleteI'm always interested to see what what C. Lloyd is doing
ReplyDeletehe is hilarious
DeleteI'm not a fan of Franco and Danny DeVito's work as director has been hit and miss but I do generally like his work so it's good to hear he's stepping behind the camera once again. Thanks Dezzy for bringing this to my attention.
ReplyDeleteI don't like Franco either, he is too arrogant, and I loved DeVito in previous decades, but not his work in ALWAYS SUNNY IN PHILADELPHIA. He became somehow weird ...
