MERYL STREEP IN TWO NEW FILMS
Now, here's an interesting cast: Meryl Streep will again work with Tommy Lee Jones after HOPE SPRINGS and they will also be joined by James Spader, John Lithgow and Tim Blake Nelson in new period set movie THE HOMESMAN! Directed and cowritten by Tommy Lee himself, the historical drama will, according to "The Hollywood Reporter", have a story set in 1855 Nebraska,and will revolve around a frontier woman and a claim jumper who ferry a wagonload of women, driven insane by the harsh world of the frontier, eastward to Iowa and back to the civilized world. Meryl Streep is also set to take the lead role in Rob Marshall's INTO THE WOODS in which she will play the Witch which conspires to teach important lessons to various characters of popular children's stories including Little Red Riding Hood, Cinderella, Jack and the Beanstalk and Rapunzel.
VANESSA LACHEY IN 'DADS' SITCOM
In television news today, Deadline writes that breathtaking Vanessa
Lachey has joined Fox’s sitcom DADS which comes from Seth MacFarlane,
and centres on two successful guys in their 30s, Eli (Seth Green) and
Warner (Tommy Dewey), who have their lives turned upside down when their
nightmare dads (Peter Riegert, Martin Mull) unexpectedly move in with

NEW 'DA VINCI'S DEMONS' EXCITING EPIC TRAILER
The only trailer I have for you in the slow Easter week is the new one for upcoming new historical adventure series DA VINCI'S DEMONS 
which hits small screens at Starz April12th! Titled "Some Mysteries Are Best Left Unsolved" the new trailer shows the mystery side of the show 
unlike the previous ones which focused on action, historical adventure, exciting sex and Da Vinci's inventions. Starring deeply delightful 
Tom Riley, heavenly gorgeous Laura Haddock, dashingly amazing Elliott Cowan and profoundly magnetic Blake Ritson, the opening
episode will see rising artisan Leonardo da Vinci being hired by the powerful Medicis to create an Easter spectacle in Florence. Da Vinci is 
commissioned to engineer war machines. A mysterious Turk captures Leonardo’s interest.
hubba-hubba hotties today... i am going to just stare at the photos... :)
ReplyDeleteMeryl being the hottest lady in tha house :PPP
Deleteyes and Vanessa.... here kitty, kitty!
Deleteyou do know Vanessa is taken ... by Jessica Simpson's ex hubs :)
DeleteFirst I've heard of INTO THE WOODS, but that could be fun.
ReplyDeletethat's a musical, based on some popular book staged before at Broadway methinks.
Deleteso is it going to be a musical? Streep is awesome.
DeleteYep, it will be a musical. Streep was already great in MAMA MIA musical (even though the film itself was bad).
DeleteAnything Merle does I'm in for - mind you, her last film with Tommy Lee was a bust - I forget the name of it (it was that forgettable) they were a married couple with "issues" going for therapy; I found it dull and slow.
ReplyDeleteThat being said...I love her! Oh, and I'm a huge Tommy Lee fan too!
Jenny @ PEARSON REPORT
(the dreaded link) :P :P :P
you have the title in the post, sister - HOPE SPRINGS :)
DeleteI always love seeing Meryl, even in bad films. She's the biggest actress ever - past and future!
I'm cracking up, Dezz...like from the post to the comment...poof the info is gone.
Delete:)
DeleteLOL. I lived in Nebraska for twelve years. I could have ended up on that wagon in The Homesman. :P
ReplyDeleteAnd I want Da Vinci's leather coat!
Knowing you, you'd probably be leading the wagon riding on a horse with a gun in your hand :)
DeleteI'm much more modest = I want what's under the coat :) You do remember, that Tom Riley reads HOLLYWOOD SPY and that he said our posts are deeply inspiring :) Such a dear gent! Lurv him so....
Gotta admit, I do quite fancy the Da vinci series, I've set it up to record, fingers crossed.
ReplyDeletefingers crossed! Should be the event of the spring on TV!
DeleteI am glad to see Meryl still working; she is a wonderful actress and it's too bad there aren't more roles for women of her age. The DaVinci series looks interesting :)
ReplyDeleteMeryl will work forever, methinks, like Judi Dench and Maggie Smith :)
DeleteMeryl, Tommy Lee and John Lithgow in the same flick? What an amazing cast!!!!
ReplyDeleteit is, isn't it!
DeleteGo on Miss Meryl! That movie sounds worth a look just based on the cast! As for Dads...I might have to just say no. No.
ReplyDeletewhy no? We don't like dads?
DeleteI just don't see it being my kinda show...I've been wrong before though!
Deleteyep, mine neither probably, I prefer family sitcoms to male oriented ones.
DeleteI guess it makes sense for her to be married to Warner. Seth Green certainly couldn't get a girl hot enough like Vanessa Lachey
ReplyDeletegood thinking, Sherlock :PP
DeleteCome on, Dez get me some candy. LOL At least put up some male deliciousness sans clothes. My candy don't need wrappers. ;)
ReplyDeleteNo candy for you, you've been naughty :) Actually, I will have some extreme mancandy tonight, not a naked one, but still extremely dashing - our new obsession :)
DeleteThey've been advertising DA VINCI'S DEMONS here in Oz so hopefully I won't have to wait too long to get to see it. Woot.
ReplyDeletefingers crossed, I couldn't possibly miss DA VINCI'S DEMONS and my dear boys Tom Riley, Blake Ritson and my dear Eliot Cowan!
DeleteI hope to look as good as Streep at her age. Thanks for stopping by my blog. Things have been so hectic lately I haven't been able to stop by everyday but I always read your great posts on feedly.
ReplyDeleteglad to see you back in the blogosphere, Clarissa! Hope you're having fun in AZ this month!
DeleteCan't believe Streep is still relevant and acting at her age.
