KATE WINSLET JOINS
Well, this could be a powerful female drama. The English language remake of Danish drama Silent Heart, now titled BLACKBIRD has cast Diane Keaton, Kate Winslet and Mia Wasikowska in the lead roles!
Directed by Notting Hill's helmer Roger Michel, who did recently
ruin My Cousin Rachel which could've been a marvellous movie,
BLACKBIRD will see Diane playing a a terminally ill mother who brings
her family together for one last weekend before she commits suicide.
Winslet, who is currently shooting new Avatar sequels, and Wasikowsa
will, of course, play her daughters.

Boy Erased is out this November |
In real life, Diane Keaton is mother to two adopted children: a daughter and a son.
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure, but I think there are two israeli producers involved in this quality movie (Avi Lerner and Boaz Davidson).
By the way, 'Blackbird' is also the name of a famous Beatles' song.
Avi does have a rich list of projects behind him!
DeleteHaven't heard of that song, will have to check it out!
"Boy Erased" looks very good. Interesting to hear Russell Crowe with a southern accent. Hopefully this movie will help to expose the lie that is "ex-gay reparative therapy" and show the harm that intolerance brings to families.
ReplyDeleteI still cannot grasp there is even such a thing! How can you repair me when I'm superb broken :P
DeleteDiane Keaton is freakin' hilarious! Love her to bits (along with Winslet), so I'll be sure to catch this new flick. Just read her book The House That Pinterest Built. It was so lovely. She comes off as one wacky doodle, but I think she's definitely got her shit together, even if she doesn't show it much.
ReplyDeleteShe does look and seem wacky indeed
