ALICIA VIKANDER JOINS
MICAHEL FASSBENDER IN 'LIGHT BETWEEN OCEANS', EDDIE REDMAYNE IN 'DANISH GIRL'
According to 'Deadline' Scandinavian star Alicia Vikander has just scored two new lead roles with amazing partners. First she will join Michael Fassbender in LIGHT BETWEEN OCEANS. The movie adaptation of M.L. Stedman novel brings the story of a lighthouse keeper on a remote island in Australia who together with his wife rescues a baby they find in a rowboat and raise it as their own. Alicia will also join Eddie Redmayne in THE DANISH GIRL inspired by the story of Danish painter Einar Wegener and his wife, and the love they shared even as he became the first man to undergo a sex change operation in 1931. She already finished her roles in THE MAN FROM THE U.N.C.L.E. next to Henry Cavill and Armie Hammer, and in THE SEVENTH SON next to Kit Harington. I've recently told you that she will also star next to Dane DeHaan and Judi Dench in 17th century TULIP FEVER, and next to Ewan McGregor in SON OF A GUN.
'THE GOOD LIE' TRAILER
WITH REESE WITHERSPOON
The first trailer has been released for Philippe Falardeau drama THE GOOD LIE with Reese Witherspoon and Corey Stoll in the lead roles! They were known simply as "The Lost Boys": Orphaned by the brutal Civil war in Sudan that began in 1983, these young victims travelled as many as a thousand miles on foot in search of safety. Fifteen years later, a humanitarian effort would bring 3600 lost boys and girls to America. In THE GOOD LIE, Philippe Falardeau brings the story of their survival and triumph to life. Coming to cinemas this October, the film will see Witherspoon playing determined advocate Carrie Davis, who works tirelessly on behalf of four young Lost Boys of Sudan once they arrive in the US.

'ABOUT ALEX' TRAILER
WITH MAX GREENFIELD, MAX MINGHELLA, AUBREY PLAZA
Second trailer for you today is for August 8th drama ABOUT ALEX starring Max Greenfield, Aubrey Plaza, Max Minghella, Maggie Grace, Jason Ritter... It is the story of seven college friends who reunite over a three-day weekend, after one of them attempts suicide. When the friends get together to keep an eye on Alex, the weekend that ensues will renew old crushes and resentments, shine light on bad decisions, and ultimately push friendships and relationships to the brink as the group tries to speculate when the simple life of their college years turned so muddy and complex. Sometimes irreverent, sometimes poetic, and always moving, ABOUT ALEX is a searingly honest look at the changing nature of adult friendship in the Facebook/Twitter generation.
THE GOOD LIE will be a good movie to watch and ABOUT ALEX is a lot like THE BIG CHILL (without someone dying).
ReplyDeleteboth movies very touching and hopefully good to watch
DeleteI too wonder how much "About Alex" will be like "The Big Chill" -- will it have the same impact on its generation?
ReplyDeleteit's a too small movie to have any kind of impact in today's world
DeleteTalking about Fassbender, I watched an interesting movie with him at the Cannes Film Festival in which he plays the lead but you never see his face except for the last five minutes of the film.
ReplyDeleteit's called FRANK
DeleteMiss Vikander is a very lucky lady, working with all those fabulous male actors. :)
ReplyDeleteAnd, wow, that poster with Reese Witherspoon is so airbrushed it doesn't even look like her.
I want her casting agent :)
DeleteYep, funny when you compare the pic on the poster and that pic in the trailer :)
I was just thinking Reese Witherspoon looks good in the poster as a brunette. Not so much in the trailer, though...
ReplyDeletethe wonders of PhotoShop :)
Deleteeverything got blurry after you shared Alicia Vikander, so thank you... the other two items, not really remembering what they were... :)
ReplyDeleteI had you in mind when I was choosing Alicia's pic :)
Deletethank you... she is a doll. also what would you like for the T Morris stop over... though him and I have been friends for awhile. :)
DeletePffttt.... me has been friends with him longer than you :))))
Deletei agree... you are the master and i am just a humbled peasant... thank you for all that you do...
Deletea peasant? I thought you were a zombie master....
Deleterespectfully... zombies can be peasants, though i am no master anymore...
Deletewell, I'm sure you're the master of your house? No? Your wardrobe? No? The fridge? ......
DeleteHa... you have never met the Mrs.
DeleteI'm glad to see Jason Ritter acting. I felt sad back when his dad died. It didn't seem like it was his time to go.
ReplyDeleteWait, that is that Ritter too? He has another brother who is starring in a sitcom too!
DeleteI think Jason is one and Tyler the other.
Deletethe other one will star in McCarties sitcom this Fall as a gay man from an Irish Catholic family
DeleteA sex change operation in 1931...wow that was way progresive for back then!
ReplyDeleteYou would be surprised to find out what kind of complex surgeries were done throughout the history. I've read that even Ancient Egyptians had some kinds of brain surgeries, and I think that certain versions of sex operations were done even in mediaeval times
DeleteI think I will like to see Reese in a more serious role. All too often she plays frilly redneck girl, so it will be interesting to see how she does in this one.
ReplyDeletea lot of her recent and upcoming films are very serious, some even dark and hard....
DeleteI can't wait to see what she's doing then. I did love her in Cruel Intentions. Then after that, she really got into the fluff pieces. Glad she is taking on some edgier roles!
Deletefirst time I've heard of Einar Wegener
ReplyDeleteI've heard about him when they first mentioned the movie about him
DeleteHey,Dezzy,
ReplyDeleteThe GOOD LIFE has an amazing premise. I bet it;s a big hit. Always been a Reese Fan!
About Alex looks like an intriguing film too....
Have a great weekend, Dez!
glad you like both trailers, Michael!
DeleteWow, some impressive stuff here today. I LOVE that trailer of The Good Lie. That movie is on on my to-watch list this fall.
ReplyDeleteglad you liked today's offer, Donna!
