CATE BLANCHETT
I can't say I liked their previous work together (I'M NOT THERE is still
officially the most monotonous and self- observed movie I have ever watched) but Cate
Blanchett and director Todd Haynes will work together again: Blanchett
and Mia Wasikowska will star in CAROL, a movie adaptation of Patricia
Highsmith's novel THE PRICE OF SALT. It's a love story about pursuit,
betrayal and passion that follows the burgeoning relationship between
two very different women in 1950s New York. One, a girl in her twenties
working in a department store who dreams of a more fulfilling life, and
the other, a wife trapped in a loveless,
moneyed marriage desperate to
break free but fearful of losing her daughter in the process. According
to "Deadline" the filming should start this Autumn!

IS OLIVER WALKER LEAD IN
BBC 'ATLANTIS' EPIC SHOW?
Ever since BBC has revealed their cast for the new fantasy show
ATLANTIS, which will take over the primetime spot from MERLIN this
Autumn, I've been puzzled as to who will play the lead role since BBC
has been very mysterious not giving us any detail on the characters. It
was recently announced that young British actor Oliver Walker has joined
the already announced cast which includes Mark Addy (Game of Thrones,
probably playing Hercules), Juliet Stevenson (White Heat), Sarah Parish
(Mistresses), Jemima Rooper (Lost In Austen, to play Medusa), Aiysha
Hart (to play Ariadne), Jack Donnelly (Dancing On The Edge) and Robert
Emms (War Horse, he will play Pythagoras, Greek philosopher and
mathematician), Ciaran Griffiths (from 
SHAMELESS, to play a Greek
archaeologist). I wonder if Oliver Walker is actually the lead actor who
will play young Jason who arrives to the city of ATLANTIS: a mysterious
ancient place; a world of bull leaping, of snake haired goddesses and
of palaces so vast it was said they were built by giants. Maybe that is
why they kept his name a secret before? He certainly has the breathtaking looks for
the role! Jack Donnelly (MISFITS, DANCING ON THE EDGE) could also be the
hidden lead and he was in the cast from the start! The shooting has
already started earlier this April for one of the most expensive BBC
productions to date!

HAUTE CUISINE
DELIGHTFUL COMEDY TRAILER
Our trailer for today comes from France: it is the first, and a delightful, one for French comedy HAUTE CUISINE which will be released in US cinemas August 16th! Hortense Laborie (Catherine Frot), a renowned chef from Perigord, is astonished when the President of the Republic (Jean d'Ormesson) appoints her his personal cook, responsible for creating all his meals at the Elysée Palace. Despite jealous resentment from the other kitchen staff, Hortense quickly establishes herself, thanks to her indomitable spirit. The authenticity of her cooking soon seduces the President, but the corridors of power are littered with traps. The comedy is based on the extraordinary true story of President François Mitterand's private cook!

ReplyDeletepoor Catho, did sacrifice herself for fashion at that photo shoot :)
DeleteGood Gawd, did a pheasant die on the lovely Ms. Blanchett's head????
ReplyDeletesomething certainly did....
DeleteI hope Carol is better than I'm Not There. Blanchett is a really good actor.
ReplyDeleteshe's the best living actress beside Meryl Streep :)
DeleteA delightful trailer, I must show it to my son, who is a chef in training, and will be enrolling in a chef school this Sept. ~ Thanks for all the updates Dezzy ~
ReplyDeleteoh, that's lovely, Grace, since I cook and bake myself I love cooking films above all
DeleteAren't those some pics of Kate Blanch.
ReplyDeleteFun trailer:) Thanks for sharing.
we do love her fashion photos, sometimes :)
DeleteThose pics of Cate are strange, but I like them--especially her neck. That's a very Nefertiti neck.
ReplyDeleteisn't that armour in the first pic simply stunning, notice the craftsmanship on the skirt and on her arms.
DeleteCate's wearing her bootcamp outfit. And of course you've got the pictures to prove it...
ReplyDeleteI always have pics to prove things..... be afraid, be very afraid :P
DeleteYou're making me tremble... Wait! Don't even go there! ;)
DeleteI've already been there :P I'm always a few steps ahead of you.... lurking around with my camera even when you slee.... well... snore :)
DeleteThank you for reminding me it's Me and My Couch. A great movie.
DeleteI hope a Gordon Ramsay look-a-like appears in Haute Cuisine. :P
ReplyDeleteoh, no Damien, I can't stand that horrid brute.... so pompous and mean
DeleteI'm always fascinated by a kitchen/chef movie as it takes me back to my chef days.....the horror!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteyou worked as a chef, Fran? How very interesting, tell us more!
DeleteI bet you could give any chef a run for their money, Dezzy! I'm glad you told us what the movie what about, the trailer didn't tell us much but it sure did show us lots of yummy stuff!!
ReplyDeletedon't think I would, Elsie. I know how to bake and stuff but I'm no chef :) They're scientists and I look upon cooking from a more creative side.
DeleteHi Dezzy - Haute Cuisine sounds and looks fun. =)
ReplyDeleteagreed, it will be a delight to watch!
DeleteWasn't much on I'm Not There, either. Cate looks amazing in those pics, though and I can't wait to see her new project.
ReplyDeleteI love that VOGUE photo shoot too!
