 Now this is a lovely piece of movie info! According to "Deadline" Alan Rickman's directorial project A LITTLE CHAOS has found the support of Lionsgate and should start shooting this year. With an amazingly charming duo of gorgeous Kate Winslet and uber dashing Matthias Schoenaerts (you've seen him recently in RUST AND BONE with Marion Cotillard), this will be a love story about rival landscape gardeners who are competing to design a fountain at Versailles for Louis XIV. Alan Rickman will also star in his own film. As I reported before, Winslet, who, believe it or not, played in only two and a half movies since 2008, will also star in sf action DIVERGENT which is set in a futuristic dystopia, following a teenager who seeks to break free from her homogeneous society that divides people based on human traits. She leaves her faction and joins a rival group, where she falls for a young man.

  A BOOK OF COMMON PRAYERS 

Beside Kate Winslet, another curvaceous beauty has found herself a new gig: "Variety" reports that MAD MEN's Christina Hendricks will take the lead role

 in A BOOK OF COMMON PRAYER a big screen version of Joan Didion’s book of the same name. The novel, published in 1977, centres on Charlotte Douglas, an American woman who arrives in a fictional Central American country that is on the verge of revolution and inexplicably imagines it is the place where she will be reunited with her fugitive 19-year-old daughter. Story is told through the eyes of an American anthropologist, long married into the ruling family, who tries to decipher the meaning of Charlotte’s journey. According to Hollywood Reporter Anthony Head, whom you remember as the king and Arthur's father in MERLIN epic series, will continue wearing a crown but in CW's upcoming sf pilot THE SELECTION which is set hundreds years in the future following a girl which competes to become wife of the royal prince and nation's new queen. Head will play the strong and powerful King Clarkson who plans to use his son Maxon's (Michael Malarkey) marriage to forge a powerful political alliance.
