CATE BLANCHETT
TO LEAD LUCILLE BALL BIOPIC
Our most favourite thespian, and without any doubt the best living actress of the younger generation, magically gorgeous Cate Blanchett will yet again play one of the classic stars of Hollywood. As you remember, she got an Oscar for her magnificent portrayal of Katharine Hepburn in AVIATOR and now she will play Lucille Ball in an untitled biopic on the famous actress to be written by another Oscar winner - Aaron Sorkin. The story of the movie, which has the support from Ball's family and children, will focus on Lucille Ball's 20-year marriage to her 'I Love Lucy' co-star Desi Arnaz, which lasted from 1940 to 1960! Together they invented the multi camera format on 'I Love Lucy', and the concept of syndicating TV shows, which revolutionized the industry.

'MACBETH' GETS GORGEOUS
NEW POSTER AND TRAILER
And the new poster for the latest big screen adaptation of Shakespeare's MACBETH is all kinds of gorgeous. You can also check out the latest trailer for the historical drama which is out this October in UK and December in USA. It follows the classic story about General Macbeth (Michael Fassbender) whose ambitious wife (Marion Cotillard) helps him take over the throne from the ruling Scottish king not choosing the means to achieve their ruthless goals. David Thewlis and Jack Reynor also star in the 11th century historical epic.

DeleteYay! I can't wait to see the Lucille Ball movie! That woman was such a class act, so it's nice to see another class act play her in the movie!
ReplyDeleteI've never seen that series of hers, it was way before my time :) but I think Cate can pull anything off and get an Oscar for it! She might get an Oscar next year too, although it will be a battle of senior actresses next year.
DeleteIt was before my time too, but I've watched the reruns. She was such a witty comedian! I agree, Cate can definitely pull anything off. I can't wait to see her in this film!
Deleteshe will probably get a nod next year too for playing the lesbian this Autumn in CAROL.
DeleteFinally something that was befor my time too. Don't I feel young, now?

DeleteCate B. is major talent. Gerard might be good for this role. Macbeth is really looking good and that trailer gave me chills. Disney knows the cool stuff to buy.
