SANDRA BULLOCK
If you're wondering what's Sandra Bullock been up to, she is heading towards kitchen: she will star in the big screen adaptation of Bob Kealing's book TUPPERWARE UNSEALED as the expert who launched Tupperware through famous parties that made the storage product a household name and into the multibillion company it still is today. 'Deadline' reports that Tate Taylor (The Help, Get On Up) will adapt, produce and direct this fun story about a divorcee from Detroit who convinced a plastics inventor to let her go crazy marketing a good product which, up until then, was getting little attention from consumers. The story will focus on her start and the clashes that she had with the company founder Tupper that led to her leaving the company (she left when he sold the company for $15 million, offering her only $35,000 as compensation).

TUPPERWARE UNSEALED sounds interesting. Never really thought about where it got it starts, but the products do come in handy.
ReplyDeleteit is quite an interesting business story since he turned his back on her after she made his products famous and his company extra rich.
Delete"Gracie and Frankie" sounds FAB! I love all the principal actors! And if it's on Netflicks, it might be much raunchier (and therefore funnier) than it would be on cable TV -- here's hoping, anyway.
ReplyDeleteAnd I love the revival of senior actors in films and on TV screens! Bill Cosby is also returning to the small screens next year, and Ian McKellen and Derek Jacobi have their VICIOUS sitcom ordered for second season
Delete"Vicious" makes me laugh so hard I pee. Glad it's been renewed!
Deleteyep, it's getting a second season :)
DeleteLOL. I read the second headline as "Josephe Fiennes Topless Nostradamus". Which might be okay. :P
ReplyDeleteespecially if he would be topless on Nostradamus... we do love medieval naughtiness :)
DeleteSandra Bullock is a lady who doesn't seem to age! I'd like to see the new movie she'll be in.
ReplyDeleteshe does use tones of botox and can hardly move parts of her face now... not as bad and horrid as Courtney Cox or Nicole Kidman, but close
DeleteI like the sound of TUPPERWARE UNSEALED. I always enjoy Sandra Bullock's acting.
ReplyDeleteshe has relaxing movies, but I also liked her deeply dramatic performance in CRASH
DeleteYes, Crash. I loved that movie so much I went out and bought the DVD :)
Deleteone of the best ones ever.... and the TV series was great too!
DeleteSandra is looking mighty fine in that pick. I do like most her movies shall look forward to watching this one. The Heat was ace!
ReplyDeletethat from a photo shoot that she did for that film in which she starred with Ryan Reynolds
DeleteGrace and Frankie sounds fabulous!! I think this is going to be a really good one and Lilly Tomlin is a genius at comedy. Also the whole cast is made up of heavy hitters. There's lots of room for hilarity in this one.
ReplyDeleteSorry for my tirade earlier dahlink. We've been without water for five days and my feckin' plumber didn't come back to finish the job. A tiny little doo hiky thingy right by the main broke on Thursday. He claims he has the part and will be here tomorrow. My flowers need water desperately and I stink to high heaven.
I really hope they have good scripts, dear, because we need a mature old style sitcom! My faves are LAST MAN STANDING and BABY DADDY, and I'm currently also enjoying YOUNG AND HUNGRY and GUYS WITH KIDS.
DeleteShite, dahlink, that's horrible! We have a city here which has been without water for five days now and I can imagine the hell. Will you be able to fix all the plumbing in your house before winter to avoid last year's problems?
We had the entire house re plumbed. What broke is some small metal piece. Also our hot water heater has broken and needs replaced.
DeleteThis guy is a good plumber and his prices are good, he's just so busy it takes him a long time to get to us. He owns his own business and has no workers. He does it all himself which is how he keeps prices down. Supposed to be here today. Fingers and toes crossed.
Water heaters are expensive here :( Maybe you can buy a small one for just the two of you? Or do you have one for the whole house? In my country we have small ones in bathrooms and kitchens.
DeleteHope you fix it, dear. That and the problem with the heating of the house in winter. Maybe some electric heater which the two of you could use in two rooms when the cold comes
Nostradamus was a genius at fooling gullible people.
ReplyDeleteindeed he was, he fooled even the crowned heads
DeleteShouldn't be hard to fool Royalty as most have heads like watermelons.
Deletegotta fit the crown :)
DeleteSandra Bullock looks like a teen in that pic. lol
ReplyDeleteI love the sound of her movie. Interesting topic (never thought I'd say that about tupperware, lol)
should be fun if they don't do it as a comedy
DeleteI haven't seen Crash, but heard it was pretty good. Tubberware, I really would not go pay to see at the movie house.
ReplyDeleteone of the most amazing movies ever, one of those that will stay with you forever and will make you think some very deep thoughts
DeleteAnything is possible.
DeleteMy gosh, Sandra Bullock looks amazing in that pic! She is just one of my all time favorite actresses. Yes, she was great in Crash, but I just loved her in The Blind Side. I can't wait for her new movie!
ReplyDeleteshe is turning her career into a more serious direction after CRASH, BLIND SIDE and GRAVITY
DeleteI still haven't seen Gravity. Waiting for it to become available on 3D on my ondemand service. I think I heard that it was a good one to watch in 3D.
DeleteI haven't either, but I might
DeleteSandra sure ages well, doesn't she? I'm glad. She's a fine lady and a wonderful actress. I'd like to see her new film.
ReplyDeleteActually, she started using a lot of botox and I don't think that was the right decision for her. But her body is still lovely
DeleteDon't do it, Sandy!
Deleteyou tell her
DeleteI think Sandra will be amazing in that role. (of course!)
ReplyDeletemost probably
DeleteI'd buy her Tupperware.
ReplyDeleteI know you would
DeleteI'd show her... how to fill it too;)
Deleteor you'd just fill it yourself for her....
DeleteTwice. Per hour.
