'A LITTLE CHAOS' CLIP
KATE WINSLET AND ALAN RIKCMAN AT FRENCH COURT
The cherry on top of the cake today is a clip (still no trailers) for Kate Winslet's period set drama A LITTLE CHAOS in which she mistakes Alan Rickman's King Louis XIV for a gardener. Kate Winslet is 
Sabine De Barra, a strong-willed 17th-century French gardener who challenges sexual and class barriers when she vies to design and build one of the main showcase attractions at King Louis’s XIV’s new palace at Versailles. Using wit and intelligence, she attracts the attention of the 
court’s renowned landscape architect, André Le Nôtre (Matthias Schoenaerts), and comes face to face with the Sun King himself, who demands the gardens become a paradise of unrivalled beauty.

I enjoy Rickman's work.
ReplyDeleteand I enjoy Kate's :) and Chris' too
DeleteWhat did you like Kate, best in?
DeleteREADER... for which she won her Oscar too! And my fave film when me was a teen was her HEAVENLY CREATURES
DeleteCool beans, Dezzy. I really don't know much about her and haven't seen her in many things. Maybe one thing, and that was it.
DeleteI'm guessing TITANIC....
DeletePlaying it cool , i like this trailer .
ReplyDeleteit is brilliant, isn't it?
DeleteGreat trailers showcasing some interesting movies coming out. Rickman is also intriguing in any part he plays and Kate looks as though she'll do a great job too.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait for that one, it seems most delightful
DeleteWhat a stunning cast in both, EFFIE GRAY and A LITTLE CHAOS!
ReplyDeleteI shall be keeping my eyes open for both :)
PLAYING IT COOL also has an outstanding cast :) Minus Aubrey Plaza LOL
DeleteWonderful trailers today, Dezzy! Effie Gray is just the sort of historical story I love. And A Little Chaos too. Such great casts.
ReplyDeleteEFFIE had such amazing music, very atmospheric!
DeleteI would totally mistake a King for a gardener too.
ReplyDeleteand a queen too...
DeleteEffie Gray has that wonderfully dark, almost Gothic feel to it. And written by Emma herself. I found the soundtrack to be enchanting set against that backdrop.
ReplyDeleteOoooo we know I'm to like A Little Chaos. Aside from having the wonderful Kate in it, it's about a gardener!! I have to, have to, have to see that. Those gardens are said to have had unparalleled beauty and I'd no idea a female gardener had done them.. Moi is truly excited about this one.
It's also fun that Emma put her own hubs Greg Wise in the cast too :)
DeleteDahlink, gardens are, sadly, giving me terrible allergies this summer.... damned heart pills.....
Effie Gray looks good -- and what an all-star cast!
ReplyDeleteit is truly and outstandingly stellar cast, isn't it? It took me five minutes to type in all the names :)
DeleteHmmm, love the EFFIE GRAY's poster!
ReplyDeletethey stole if from Millais :) It's his Ophelia....
DeleteWho would've imagined Dakota Fanning would have such a long career? I still remember the Dakota Fanning talk show parody on SNL. They were making fun of her basically because for a while there, she was in EVERY movie.
ReplyDeleteand, yet, me has never seen her in anything... not that I feel sorry for that :)))
DeleteChris Pine is growing on me especially after the Captain America.....
ReplyDeleteChris Evans, Fran, Evans :) He said he will probably quit acting after CAPTAIN AMERICA and will become a director...
DeleteRuskin refuses to consummate it... Is that a fact? How rude. Or maybe there is something we don't know.
ReplyDeleteAlan Rickman... I've loved that guy's smirk ever since I first saw him in that Robin Hood movie in another century.
He was too tired from all the daily work.... and possibly had headaches from the paint fumes....
Deleteah, the old Robin Hood... still not sure what's crazier - Costner thinking he can pull of Hood, or Geere thinking he can pull of Lancelot..... thank God Nicolas Cage never played Richard the Lionheart....
Delete...or Superman!
Deleteyes, indeed, I think he still cries after the missed chance.....
DeleteHe was ready to jump off a building... but then he thought, Wait, I'm not really Superman. Smart thinking. So he had a drink in Vegas.
Deletecome to think of it.. maybe it would've been better if he had jumped off that building.....
DeleteYou're so cruel. I thought you were eco friendly.
Deleteeco yes, nico no.....
DeleteI like the Effie Gray poster! Has a fairy tale feel about it, though it sounds like she didn't have a very fairy tale marriage!
ReplyDeleteYay for Kate and Alan together! I really like both of those actors! The trailer did seem a little slow, but I am sure I will like the overall film!
they used Millais' OPHELIA painting for the poster, it is one of my fave ever....
DeleteTis not a trailer, but just a clip, the trailer hasn't been released yet....
