JOSH HARTNETT, PENN BADGLEY, GENA ROWLANDS, ALEXIS BLEDEL
Speaking of Cannes, the festival will also bring us the premiere of brilliant sf drama PARTS PER BILLION which has a rather stellar
cast including Rosario Dawson, Josh Hartnett, Teresa Palmer, Penn Badgley, Alexis Bledel, Frank Langella and legendary Gena Rowlands! They all star in he interwoven stories of three couples which are forced to make life altering decisions in the face of a disastrous war. Inspired and sometimes blinded by their love, Len, Mia, Andy, Esther, Anna and Erik are as flawed and beautiful as any of the billions who are facing this human-made biological disaster. As the pandemic spreads and civilization is thrown into chaos, generations old and young must each make the ultimate decision!

Toni Collette is one busy lady. Miss You Already sounds like it would be good, but don't know if I could watch it or not - afraid it would have a sad ending. Don't much like movies with sad endings.
ReplyDeleteI hope it won't, hope Rachel heals in it from the cancer and Toni gets lovely babies. It is part comedy after all
DeleteI was thinking exactly the same thing about Toni. She's working a lot and I think she is good enough to command a high price as an actress.
DeleteI'd give her millions, but I don't think Hollywood thinks the same. If her latest show HOSTAGES was a hit, as it wasn't, she could get more money, but for some reason she gets just critical respect .... today's audience prefers physical beauty to talent
DeleteI remember the trailer for A LONG WAY DOWN. She is rather busy. IN THE FUTURE has some nice star power in it.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to watch A LONG WAY DOWN, love the cast, the writer and the story
DeleteYour soup sounds good, Dezzy. We had leftovers for lunch. Tim stopped in, which is always nice.
ReplyDeletethat's lovely
DeleteIt was nice. It's like a little fun in the middle of the day. He might be able to stop in today.
DeleteLeftovers again, but that's okay.
How was your spinach?
not so good, had a horrid quarrel with a family member and lost my appetite :(
DeleteOh, I am sorry to hear that.
Deleteyep, I really need to put myself as far away as possible from them.... Keep your fingers crossed for me!
DeleteFingers and toes. If you need to vent or chat, drop me an email anytime.
Deletethanks!
DeleteSure thing :-)
DeleteI was telling Tim the other day that I would love to visit your country and eat some of your foods and then hit Hungry.
Rachel Weisz is one of my favs. Glad it will be her instead of Anniston in Miss You Already.
ReplyDeleteI like them both, but Rachel might add a different feeling to the whole story
DeleteI've seen the trailer for "A Long Way Down" and it looks great. Very interesting premise for that movie.
ReplyDeleteI'm anxious to see it myself when it comes out, Debs, I adore such inspiring films
DeleteRachel Weisz... glorious. hey, just thought to say 'ello, i am almost out of the woods. though i have found this gingerbread house and a nice woman asking me to help stock her fire. it should be good, i have only a few bread crumbs left.
ReplyDeletebe careful with your log while stocking her fire.....
DeleteHi Dez,
ReplyDeleteWhat's your pick of the above?
both, I'd like to see both!
DeleteHeavy topics in today's post. But if the story is inspiring and it ends well, I could handle it. Right now light comedy is my thing.
ReplyDeleteFinally my tulips have opened today, it's been a long wait for colour. We had a couple of nice warm days, but tonight it's to get down to freezing again.
hope tulips survive the freeze, dear! Ours have finished blooming long time ago and now the irises are starting to open slowly
DeleteI adore Rachel Weisz. I have been thinking of chopping my hair like hers lately.
ReplyDeleteParts Per Billion looks interesting!
I wouldn't change your hair, sister, your hair is the purdiest ever
DeleteAwww, thank you Dezzy ♥ I just think it would feel much better in the summer months with it chopped shorter.
Deletetry it but be careful! PS Blue Grumpster and me often gossip about you at his place among the comments :)
DeleteI'm a fan of dystopian societies - especially if there is a real chance it could happen - like a plague. Science can't cure everything, and that is the best example of natural life out of control.
ReplyDeleteI didn't quite get it from the trailer, but I think these people are dying because of some intoxication caused by humans
DeleteHappy Earth Day Dez
ReplyDeletethanks, back at you
DeletePARTS PER BILLION Great production for great movie .
ReplyDeleteCheers
I really think it could be an amazing movie. I love the apocalyptic ones... they always inspire big questions and discussions
DeleteToni Colette is pretty busy with a lot of films coming up. Parts Per Billion looks promising. Great trailer.
ReplyDeleteI adore the trailer, I love that kind of psychological drama
DeleteI got a little excited. I saw two of my favorite people highlighted - Melissa McCarthy and Aaron Paul and thought maybe they were working together. Nope. Toni got them. Oh well.
ReplyDeleteToni gets the best parts... she got Dylan McDermott in that show of hers :)
DeleteLove Weisz. If they ever get around to making a movie or series out of the Wheel of Time, I support her being cast as Moiraine.
ReplyDeleteThat trailer is chilling. We sure seem to be fixated with the end of the world kind of thing. When I was a teen, my older brother and I read Neville Shute's ON THE BEACH about the survivors left after a major nuclear war and how eventually the radiation would make it's way around the world and kill everyone. Gave us both nightmares.
it's true that the apocalyptic genre has become very popular, it's because the world is in its melting point due to the loss of law and morals and justice
DeleteOkay, I may be sold on parts per billion!
ReplyDeleteglad to hear it, Fran!
DeleteParts per Billion looks like a great move. Scary scenario, though!
ReplyDeletebut it could happen :(
DeleteA full female cast, you say? Meow! Those kittnes are gonna purrrrr. Now, let's read the info. Oh no! It's not about pregnant women, is it? (non-purrr non-purrr)
ReplyDeletebut, then again, maybe they're lesbifriends.....
DeleteWell, throw me in their midst and I'm a happy man.
