'MOTHER'S DAY' MOVIE
WITH JENNIFER ANISTON, KATE HUDSON, JASON SUDEIKIS
Meanwhile, as it is now a custom at least once each year, we are getting a romantic star studded omnibus movie in 2016 as well! As 'Deadline' writes today, Open Road Films has picked up American rights to Garry Marshall’s MOTHER'S DAY, the latest in the director’s holiday movie series which includes NEW YEAR'S EVE and VALENTINE'S DAY. The film, which has an ensemble cast including Jennifer Aniston, Kate Hudson, Jason Sudeikis, Julia Roberts, follows the lives of several mothers leading up to the title holiday! The movie will be released at the end of next April. We might expect new names in the cast announced soon since shooting begins next month in Atlanta.
I'm looking forward to that last one. I saw both of his other holiday-themed movies and loved them!
ReplyDeletewe do love easy going romcom movies with ensemble casts! I just wish godawful Roberts wasn't in it...
DeleteIs that Jennifer Aniston? Call me stunned.
ReplyDeletewe're quite known for posting her naughty pics :)
DeleteThought I'd pop over and see what's going down at Dezi's scene. Cate Blanchett is one talented gal. I love everything I've seen her in. 'Zelda' will be interesting. It will be a difficult role to play. And first time I've seen Jennifer Aniston sans clothes. Interesting. :-)
ReplyDeleteNice to see you over here, Denise :)
DeleteBlanchett is pure perfection, her and Meryl are the biggest actresses of all times.
We always post Aniston's naked pics here :)
I heard Zelda was crazy, poor woman
ReplyDeleteyep, I myself told you that many times over the years ;) She was fat, but somehow thought she should be a ballerina... One of my cats was named after her
DeleteMother's Day might be good. A lot of big names in that one.
ReplyDeleteMy brother used to insist that I was Wednesday Addams from The Addams Family. Every time he watched that movie he thought that was me. I guess sometimes I look like Christina Ricci when she's all gothed out lol.
there's a Wednesday in each family :) I'm just glad I'm not Pugsley... or maybe I am.....
DeleteAhh, but Pugsley was so cute ;)
Deleteand fat and ugly too :)
DeleteI didn't know Blanchett directed. I look forward to her future movies. I've enjoyed many of her works. I like Jennifer Aniston, but her movies seem to be hit or miss. I hope this one is good.
ReplyDeleteshe's been preparing a movie for a few years now... and she and her husband have a theatre in Oz.
