BENJAMIN WALKER
JOINS CHRIS HEMSWORTH IN 'IN THE HEART OF THE SEA' EPIC MOVIE
Sometime ago HOLLYWOOD SPY has announced
that Ron Howard is preparing to direct sea epic IN THE HEART OF THE SEA
a 19th century set drama in which Chris Hemsworth will star as the
first mate on board the Essex, a doomed ship whose encounter with an
angry sperm whale was the inspiration for famous novel Moby Dick. The
ship went down in the middle of the South Pacific after being rammed by
the whale, and its crew drifted for more than 90 days, ultimately forced
to turn to drastic measures in order to survive. According to fresh
rumours from "Deadline" Benjamin Walker from ABRAHAM LINCOLN VAMPIRE
HUNTER might play George Pollard, the privileged son of a whaling
family, and the captain of the Essex who gets downgraded after the accident!

AUGUST OSAGE COUNTRY CLIP
MERYL STREEP, EWAN MCGREGOR, JULIA ROBERTS
And here's an all star cast for you in the first trailer for family drama AUGUST: OSAGE COUNTRY which shall start its big screen life this November starring Meryl Streep, Ewan McGregor, Julia Roberts, Benedict Cumberbatch, Abigail Breslin, Sam Shepard, Juliet Lewis, Chris Cooper and Dermot Mulroney. The story of the film offers a look at the lives of the strong-willed women of the Weston family, whose paths have diverged until a family crisis brings them back to the Midwest house they grew up in, and to the dysfunctional woman who raised them. Meryl is the pill-popping mother, Julia has Ewan for a cheating husband who had a fling with a student at his college.
August: Osage County has a fabulous cast. Too bad the clip is too reminiscent of my own family. Has me scared to watch it now. :P
ReplyDeleteoh, noes... hope not when it comes to the hubs....
DeleteAugust: Osage County is certainly my pick of the day. What a cast!
ReplyDeletequite stellar
DeleteI'd see anything Meryl Streep was acting in. I think she's spectacular!
ReplyDeletealways! The best actress that ever was and ever will be.
DeleteI bet Captain George Pollard is the first to be eaten. "In a white wine sauce with truffles and shallots" as that old Monty Python lifeboat sketch said.
ReplyDeleteI remember that skit, it was a classic.
DeleteI wouldn't mind eating him myself in a few delicious bites :)
DeleteYou is naughty darling:)
Deletesadly, he's taken, engaged to Meryl Streep's daughter Mamie Gummer or whatever her name is :)
DeleteCHRIS HEMSWORTH has a lot of work on his plate
ReplyDeleteindeed he is
DeleteEwan looks very different in this film. The beard really changes his face. The film looks good in an introspective real life way. Great cast and certainly worth the watch.
ReplyDeleteI do like him with a beard, looks more stylish and refined, his look in JACK THE GIANT SLAYER was magnificent :) And I love when they show him geeky too like in my fave film SALMON FISHING IN THE YEMEN!
DeleteI haven't seen that one yet. I finally got 'round to watching Brave. 'Twas Mothers Day in the US and the Spawn bought it so we could watch it together. I did tell her that bad things happen when one doesn't love ones Mommy.
Deleteoooh, I loved BRAVE so much, so many delightful characters and the amazingly colourful images and you know how much I love Scottish accent ;) Merida's three little triplet brothers were my absolute fave!
DeleteSo sad to see sf get passed over. At least Sleepy Hollow is going ahead. Woot.
ReplyDeleteYep, it was probably done poorly in the pilot, and it is a shock since the news were saying it was a very strong contender for a season order.
DeleteI'm happy that REIGN and ALMOST HUMAN got picked up at least :)
So they're making like a Moby Dick prequel kind of?
ReplyDeletekinda.
DeleteWow! August: Osage County seems like a good movie but a bit sad too.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if it ends with a happy or crappy end (crappy would be Ewan returning to Julia LOL)
DeleteAugust has a fantastic cast! The dialogue is witty and the message is strong. I look forward to watching it.
ReplyDeleteglad you like it, Clarissa
DeleteI love drama movies, cant wait for Osage County !
ReplyDeleteshould be a good one!
DeleteThat's too bad The Sixth Gun didn't get picked up. It sounded so promising.
ReplyDeleteI share your feeling, Jay :(
DeleteI'm looking forward to J.J. Abrams' new series. I'll probably stop watching Revolution as I just am not having fun with it.
ReplyDeleteYou got any news on if/when Guillermo del Toro is getting that vampire series off the ground? I read about it on io9 and it's supposed to be really gory.
they say ALMOSTHUMAN will be very expensive, so the look should be great too. Very futuristic.
DeleteI tend not to do Guillermo here, only when his movies are not so gory like in PACIFIC RIM.
But I will have first pics of Jonathan Rhys Meyers as DRACULA in new NBC show tomorrow.
DeleteYou should have gone with Chris Hemsworth's picture. Ben is not nearly as hot. ;P
ReplyDeleteOsage County looks all right. Not really my cup of tea, but all right.
not so sure on the hotness, you should see some of Benjamin's newer pics.... :) Om on the nom :)
DeleteLooking forward to August. I bit of drama to feed the soul. I hope.
ReplyDeletewhy is August better than September, Blue?
Deletenew Benny's movie??? yaiiii :)
ReplyDeleteJust saw him in Star trek.....huahahaha soo bloody handsome
haven't seen STAR TREK yet, hope it is good, although I don't like the focus being on the villain.
DeleteI think it was good...coming from me who has no expectation at all.
DeleteI have no objection at all with movies focusing on the villain.
