TO CRASH IN 'SHAMBHALA'
Casting news to start the week, people, beginning with our dear Jonathan Rhys Meyers who always chooses deeply spiritual roles and this new one isn't different: according to 'Deadline' he will lead the cast in SHAMBHALA in which the story follows the sole survivor of a plane crash in the mountains of Pakistan who must deal with that trauma against the backdrop of an alien culture and language. The story will be told non chronologically, emphasizing themes of enlightenment and redemption. Australian/ Indian actress Pallavi Sharda and HOMELAND's Akshay Kumar will also star! You will next watch Meyers in Roland Emmerich's STONEWALL!
'THE LAST WORD' DRAMA
STARRING SHIRLEY MACLAINE AND AMANDA SEYFRIED
Meanwhile, Mark Pellington will helm comedy drama THE LAST WORD
starring Shirley MacLaine and Amanda Seyfried. The story will follow a
retired businesswoman named Harriett (Shirley MacLaine) who wants to
control everything around her until the bitter end and decides to write
her own obituary to make sure her life is told the way she wants it to
be. But when Anne (Amanda Seyfried), a young writer at the local
newspaper, is assigned to the task, she refuses to follow the script and
instead insists on finding out the true facts about Harriett’s life.
The pair then set out to uncover the ups and downs of Harriett’s life,
initially as reluctant partners, and what begins as an attempt to shape
her own legacy turns out to be a reawakening of passions for Harriett —
and a life altering friendship for Anne.

BIG STONE GAP looks like it will be a fun movie to watch. Always enjoy watching Ashley Judd and Whoopi.
ReplyDeleteand Patrick Wilson too!
DeleteOMG. Can't wait to see Big Stone Gap!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteHave a great day, Dez dear.
it does look good, doesn't it?
Delete'SHAMBHALA' sounds like my cup o' tea, darlink. Thank you, Dezz :)
ReplyDeletewe do love it when Jonathan goes exotic, he was so amazing in the CHILDREN OF HUANG SHI
DeleteBig Stone Gap sounds like fun! :)
ReplyDeletetotally!
DeleteOh Wow, I just love Ashley Judd so I need to see Big Stone Gap for sure. The Last Word sounds like a hoot too.
ReplyDeleteit's out next month, so don't miss it
DeleteI love the sound of The Last Word. While it has elements that sound a little reminiscent of Letters to Juliet, it seems to go a different path.
ReplyDeleteLETTERS TO JULIET was cute too... not perfect, but a nice movie
DeleteI love that pic of Amanda. Stylish.
ReplyDeleteI think I have the whole photo shoot in my vaults
DeleteI have been looking forward to Big Stone Gap! Can't wait to see that one!
ReplyDeleteJonathan Rhys Meyers- I always think he looks a lot like my brother. Well, before my brother got all drugged out. Then again, Jonathan does have an alcohol addiction of some sort, no? So, maybe he does look exactly like my brother before the makeup artists touch him up.
What? Then your brother has more in common with Jonathan than you know :( Hope they both find they way out of their problems.
DeleteI've always loved about him how he stars mostly in international productions not in Hollywood. This one is also Asian/European
Sadly, I don't hold out hope for any of my siblings to get clean. How my mama could have 4 of us and I'm the only one who never took to drugs is just beyond me.
DeleteI also like the roles he chooses, though what was that horrid one he was in last year. Was is Dracula or something like that. I think I gave it 2 episodes and deleted it. Other than that, I've loved everything else he's done.
Don't tell me moma took drugs too??? :(((
DeleteI also often ask myself how come I came from the family I came.... I spent half of my childhood thinking me was adopted :)
Yes, DRACULA was mildly boring... but I watched all ten episodes because of my dear Oliver Jackson Cohen... he often retweets us :)
Nope, mama never did them. That's why I am baffled at how all my siblings turned out. Then again, she did work 2 jobs to support us and wasn't home often, so I guess lack of parenting could have played a big role in that.
Deleteyes, that always does the evil deed
Delete"Big Stone Gap" looks like a lot of fun. But my gawd . . . Whoopi's hair!!! Why did people ever think those big afros looked good?
ReplyDeletethey probably come like that every time they come out of the shower :)
DeleteI have to start writing all of these shows down so that I remember how much I want to see them. I am especially looking forward to seeing Jonathan's movie. He is an amazing actor!
ReplyDeleteNo shows here today, dear :) just movies :) But I do write down air times of shows into my desk calender to know when to download what :)
DeleteJRM....drop dead gorgeous..I really like his eyes :).. I will definitely watch that Shambala :)
ReplyDeletewe would never miss it
DeleteI'm not sure who he is...but he's GORGEOUS. Omg, look at those eyes. As I scroll down, I think he would look amazing with Amanda Seyfried. Just saying ;) hehe
ReplyDeletewhatcha mean you don't know who he is? He's been famous for decades... King Henry from TUDORS?
DeleteI first noticed Amanda S.in Big Love. She looks different now.
ReplyDeleteshe became older and also more stuck up too :)
