AARON ECKHART
TO GO CRAZY IN 'FADE OUT'
Now, here's something for all of you writers among my readers :) Aaron Eckhart, whom you shall watch this January in horror I, FRANKENSTEIN, has taken the lead role in FADE OUT. He will play screenwriter Jim Connelly, who is recovering from a nervous breakdown. He spends his days in a secluded villa by a tropical beach while his beautiful wife takes care of him. He starts working on a new screenplay about a jealous husband who murders his unfaithful wife, but his intense paranoia and hallucinations cause fiction and reality to blur. As the events in Jim's screenplay appear to materialize, he becomes a suspect in his own wife's disappearance and must outrun the police as he pieces together the puzzle seemingly designed by his very own mind.
HARRY AND THE BUTLER
MICHAEL CAINE & SAMUEL L.JACKSON
This one sounds delightful too: The Hollywood Reporter writes that Michael Caine and Samuel L. Jackson have joined HARRY AND THE BUTLER, a film in which Jackson plays a derelict rollercoaster mechanic and former jazz star, who lives in a converted train caboose in New Orleans. However, he unexpectedly inherits a large amount of money, and decides to drunkenly hire an unlucky British butler (Caine).
JULIANNE MOORE IS 'STILL ALICE'
Troubles of mature age will be seen in STILL ALICE too, in which Julianne Moore will play Alice Howland, a 50-year-old Harvard psychology professor at the height of her career who begins to notice lapses in her memory. With a diagnosis of early onset Alzheimer's, the fiercely independent woman must come to terms with her diagnosis and the ways in which it will change her life.

DeleteCongrats!!! Whenever I visit I'm sure to get my fill of eye candy. Aaron is H-O-T and so is Julianne. Both repping us middle agers in style ;-)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Gina! Don't think Aaron would be happy to hear he is put in the middle age group :)
DeleteWoohoo! Okay, half of those 3 million were me. :))
ReplyDeleteAnd I was nodding while reading the description of Harry and the Butler. When my father was a kid, his family actually lived in a caboose for a while during the Depression. His father worked for the railroad and that was their housing.
I bet it is :)
DeleteWhat is actually a caboose, dear? A wagon?
Oh, Dezzy. They don't have freight trains in Serbia? A caboose was the last car on a train. It was where the conductor or brakeman worked. Here's a photo.
Deleteah, my country is so poor that we don't even have enough cars for the passengers let alone for conductors LOL If they're lucky conductors in our trains get one compartment in one of the wagons LOL
Delete3 million is an amazing accomplishment Dezzy! A big congrats to you my friend!!!!
ReplyDeletethat's a whole big city :) Dezzyville, population 3 million :)
