'BROOKLYN' TRAILER
WITH SAOIRSE RONAN, JIM BROADBENT AND JULIE WALTERS
You can also check out the starstudded trailer for new period drama
movie BROOKLYN in which Irish star Saoirse Ronan takes the lead role
alongside Jim Broadbent and Julie Walters. Adapted by famous writer
Nick Hornby and directed by John Crowley, the movie is an adaptation of
Colm Tóibín's award winning book of the same name. Opening November 6th
on both sides of the ocean, BROOKLYN follows an Irish immigrant named
Eilis (Saoirse Ronan) to New York City in the 1950s, where she finds
steady work and budding romance with a fiery young boy named Tony
(Emory
Cohen).
When she is called back to Ireland following a family loss, she is
romanced by a local man (Domhnall Gleeson) who doesn't want her to
return to the US.
I saw that about Natascha McElhone when I was looking her up the other day--I was watching The Truman Show a few years ago when I researched her and learned about her husband dying suddenly while she was pregnant. SUCH a sad story. I was hoping to look her up and find out she'd married again...looks like she hasn't and it's been a long time. That just seems very tragic to me.
ReplyDeleteHaven't heard of that story.... it does sound sad. Unlike some celebrities who have trashy lives, some really have deep stories to tell!
DeleteLooks like a great movie indeed, something that I love to watch.... can't wait..
ReplyDeleteglad to hear it!
DeleteIt took me a moment to recognize Vincent Kartheiser as Pete Campbell from Mad Men. That's a very winsome photo of him. He's an excellent actor too so now all of a sudden I'm interested in this new series.
ReplyDeleteyou know Dezzy always finds the hottest photos of actors :) I wonder if he is still with Alexis Bledel?
Deletelooks kind of serious for a video game movie
ReplyDeleteit will be LOTR serious in epic scale
DeleteIsn't it a serious video game? I never played, but get advertisement for it all the time when I play online games. Looks intense!
ReplyDeleteit's sprawling and uber epic, the movie should be very much like HOBBIT and LOTR, methinks, just what we need after the end of HOBBIT
DeleteDid someone say Travis Fimmel????
ReplyDeleteIt will be good to see him in a new project. :))))
Travis Fimmel today, Aidan Turner coming up later this evening :) I'm currently choosing a photo of Aidan for the post :)
DeleteWarcraft seems good!
ReplyDeleteshould be uber epic :)
DeleteThat actor above looks a little bit like Channing Tatum. I'm excited for Brooklyn!
ReplyDeleteWhich actor? That hunky hunk Barry Nom Nom Sloane? I had a naked photo of him posted before just use the search button in our sidebar :)
DeleteNever played Warcraft, but the film look interesting.
ReplyDeleteit will be our most anticipated movie next year :) You do know we live for EPIC!
DeleteNew York City in the 1950s... I think I'd like that one.
ReplyDeleteyou mean you haven't visited it in the 50's? :) Was too busy chasing girls around freshly liberated Florence and Rome?
DeleteI was too busy building closets and fixing roofs, is what I was thank you very much :p
Deletefixing roofs from Nazi bombings and making closets to hide in? :)
