ALICIA VIKANDER
I remember back years ago when we first started writing about her and now she is probably the quickest rising female Hollywood star with an Oscar in her hand. So what is next for Alicia Vikander after so many amazing dramatic roles? Well, Warner Bros. and MGM have revealed officially today that she is their new lead star for LARA CROFT: TOMB RAIDER reboot! As Hollywood Reporter writes, the new movie will show the famous adventurer in a much younger stage of her life, showing her origin story! Later this year we will first watch her beside her boo Michael Fassbender in THE LIGHT BETWEEN OCEANS.
PENELOPE CRUZ
TO LEAD 'LAYOVER' MOVIE
Since we're femalecentric today, another lovely lady from Hollywood, Penelope Cruz has been cast in the lead role in LAYOVER, the big screen adaptation of Lisa Zeidner book! The book revolves around Claire Newbold, a successful travelling saleswoman who decides to go on the lam from her life. She develops elaborate scams for sneaking into hotel rooms, alone or with a guest, and a passion for swimming in their pools. A master of reinvention, she is fierce, funny and falling apart, and the story follows the atypical heroine as she goes off the deep end, and has to find her way back to shore.

'TULIP FEVER' TRAILER WITH
ALICIA VIKANDER, JUDI DENCH, CHRISTOPH WALTZ, DANE DEHAAN
And speaking of Alicia Vikander we finally get the first trailer for her period set movie TULIP FEVER in which she plays a married woman who begins a passionate affair with the artist (Dane DeHaan) hired to paint her portrait. The two invest in the risky tulip market of the 17th century Netherlands, in hopes to build a future together. An incredibly stellar cast also includes Christoph Waltz as her husband, Holliday Grainger, Judi Dench, Kevin McKidd, Matthew Morrison, Tom Hollander, Jack O'Connell...
Not happy with their choice for Lara!
ReplyDeleteSad to hear it, Fran, she is a good actress, though, rarely talented in Hollywood
DeleteGreat trailer!
ReplyDeletewe did like it, although they did make Dean ugly in the film indeed
DeleteI never saw the original Lara Croft, but I think she is very pretty and should attract a nice audience.
ReplyDeleteI saw the one in which Gerard Butler stars as well, twas a very boring one just as any other Evilina's movie
DeleteShe doesn't look much like Lara croft
ReplyDeleteno?
DeleteYes, Alicia Vikander can do no wrong right now!
ReplyDeleteshe is currently the it girl
DeleteDon(t know anything about TULIP FEVER yet, but it looks atmospheric and interesting...To follow!
ReplyDeleteyou can find our older posts on it if you want to find out more, just use the search button in the right sidebar :)
DeleteLooks like Vikander is taking over from Lawrence as the IT girl. Boring.
ReplyDeleteLawrence is so fake, can't believe how much they're pushing her into our faces
DeleteTulip fever is one to watch for my wife! Looks like they used the setting from the girl with the pearl?! ;-)
ReplyDeleteGreetings

you might like it too :)
DeleteTulip Fever looks like a great historical film. I don't recall seeing Vikander in anything, but since I'm always behind in movies I'm sure I'll see her in one of my DVR'ed movies soon. She is lovely.
ReplyDeleteI'm just sad the movie wasn't shot ten years ago with Jude Law.
DeleteI watched Vikander in SEVENTH SON, DANISH GIRL and that Swedish royal movie in which she appeared for the first time years ago. She is very radiant even though a bit plain looking
Should be interesting to see a younger version of Laura Croft. TULIP FEVER is one to watch for.
ReplyDeletedon't miss it in cinemas this late summer
DeleteTulip Fever looks the most appealing to me. I will be keeping and eye out for it! Thanks for sharing. :)

Hope we got a poster or official photos from it this summer :)
DeleteTulip fever seems really good (and steamy :P). A new Lara Croft movie is incredibly welcome as well!!
ReplyDeleteshould be really nice to watch with that cast,
DeleteI think this Lara is very pretty, not really well versed with how the original one was!
ReplyDeleteit was a bit boring, nothing special :) and Angelina as pompous and arrogant as always :)
DeleteOoh! These powerful women. I'm glad we have them in the limelight now more often.
ReplyDeletewe don't get often femalecentric news from Hollywood
