Cotillard and Gordon-Levitt roles in "The Dark Knight Rises"; O. Russell's script will be used in "Pride & Prejudice & Zombies"; "The Help" trailer;


  • There are a few updates on Christopher Nolan's third Batman installment about Marion Cotillard (La vie en rose) and Joseph Gordon-Levitt's ((500) Days of Summer) roles:

    "MARION COTILLARD AND JOSEPH GORDON-LEVITT CAST IN CHRISTOPHER NOLAN’S “THE DARK KNIGHT RISES”

    BURBANK, CA, April 19, 2011 – Warner Bros. Pictures announced today that Oscar® winner Marion Cotillard (“La Vie en Rose”) and Joseph Gordon-Levitt have joined the cast of “The Dark Knight Rises,” the epic conclusion to the Dark Knight legend.
    Cotillard will appear as Miranda Tate, a Wayne Enterprises board member eager to help a still-grieving Bruce Wayne resume his father’s philanthropic endeavors for Gotham.
    Gordon-Levitt will play John Blake, a Gotham City beat cop assigned to special duty under the command of Commissioner Gordon.
    The film reunites the actors with Christopher Nolan, who recently directed them in the award-winning blockbuster “Inception.”
    The director stated, “When you collaborate with people as talented as Marion and Joe, it comes as no surprise that you would want to repeat the experience. I immediately thought of them for the roles of Miranda and Blake, and I am looking forward to working with both of them again.”
    Heading the cast of “The Dark Knight Rises,” Christian Bale stars as Bruce Wayne/Batman. The main cast also includes Anne Hathaway as Selina Kyle and Tom Hardy as Bane.
    Nolan will direct the film from a screenplay he wrote with Jonathan Nolan, from a story by Christopher Nolan and David S. Goyer. Christopher Nolan will also produce the film with his longtime producing partner, Emma Thomas, and Charles Roven.
    “The Dark Knight Rises” is slated for release on July 20, 2012. The film will be distributed worldwide by Warner Bros. Pictures, a Warner Bros. Entertainment Company"


    Well, I really agree with "When you collaborate with people as talented as Marion and Joe, it comes as no surprise that you would want to repeat the experience"! I'm really excited to see this one... It's a crime it hits theatres only in 2012!

  • According to Collider, "The most interesting fact he (Craig Gillespie) provides is that he’ll use O. Russell’s script, because “it has such a great mix of humor and horror. I just love being able to juggle those two aspects.
    Craig Gillespie (director of Lars and the Real Girl), is the latest director attached for Pride & Prejudice & Zombies, after names like David O. Russell (The Fighter) and Mike White (School of Rock) and it seems that he's taking this really seriously by using the O. Russell's (which is a really clever move, since O. Russell is a gifted screenwriter and director).
    Pride & Prejudice & Zombies already had names like Natalie Portman (Black Swan), Anne Hathaway (Alice In Wonderland) or Bradley Cooper (The Hangover) attached for the starring roles at different times and there's no update about the casting yet.
    A risky project that may be a sucess or a huge flop, in my opinion, but it stills an interesting one...

  • The Help movie trailer finally came out and you must have a look:



    I don't know what are you thinking about it, but it seems the kind of movie with great acting. To be completly honest, it seems a bit similar to Made In Dagenham to me, but it stills looking great. Once again, Emma Stone (Easy A) seems as luminous and fresh as ever, while Bryce Dallas Howard (Hereafter), Octavia Spencer and Viola Davis (Doubt) seem to have Oscar-kind of roles and costumes seem good enough for that fashion lovers (like my girlfriend)... It became really interesting to me!

TOP 35 Actors and Actresses Under 35 Working Today - 2017

The almost annual TOP 35 Actors and Actresses Under 35 Working Today is out, with me considering the performers' performances of 2016 also. We have a few changes since last year's list, with Greta Gerwig toping the list thanks to her last 3 great performances in Mistress America , Maggie's Plan and the Oscar buzzy acting turn in 20th Century Women . Scarlett Johansson comes second with her latest distinguished performance being in 2014 ( Under the Skin ), but she managed to be at the spotligh this year thanks to her fine turns in critically acclaimed movies: Hail, Caesar! , Captain America: Civil War , The Jungle Book (voice) and Sing (voice). Emily Blunt adds another great performance to her resume in The Girl on the Train and she comes third, while Elle Fanning 's turning into one of the finest actresses and she's getting to play more adult and complex parts like The Neon Demon  and 20th Century Women 's (her two best performances since Super 8 ). Finall...

TOP 10 Most Promising Movie Actors (under 30)

Today I discussed about how awful some "teen icons" are and then we talked about some exceptions. So, I decided to make a little list, a TOP 10, with the male actors that I think that will become music in an ocean of noise somewhere in the future (I did one list before, but it was a little bit pathetic and I didn't justify my choices). Let's start... 1 - Ryan Gosling He may not have a huge list of movies in his body of work, but the few times he makes something, all the time he almost carries the movie. In fact, Gosling is a proof that talent does exist and that you don't need excentrical characters to receive raves. He rose to fame after the big screen adaptation of The Notebook (2004) and then received lots of critical praise for his performances in movies like Half Nelson (that gave him an Oscar, a SAG Award and other major awards nominations), Lars and the Real Girl (that gave him a Golden Globe, a SAG Award and other major awards nominations) and Fractur...

TOP 35 Actors and Actresses with or under 35 years old: 2018

I think it was my TOP 35 under 35 list I've ever done since I remember: so many great performers emerged last year with distinguished performances that elevated their previous works (I'm talking about Elizabeth Olsen , Lucas Hedges , Robert Pattinson , Gaspard Ulliel , Tessa Thompson or Jamie Bell , for example). I'm kinda sad I felt "forced" at letting Jonah Hill ( Moneyball and The Wolf of Wall Street ) and Emma Watson ( The Perks of Being a Wallflower , The Bling Ring and 2017's Beauty and the Beast ) out of the list. Congratulations to Kirsten Dunst , who turned 35 last year so she can not be included in this year's list - such an amazing child actress turned movie star, who delivered memorable performances in Interview with the Vampire (1994), The Virgin Suicides (1999), The Cat's Meow (2002) or Melancholia (2011). This year, Saoirse Ronan tops the list thanks to two great performances: On Chesil Beach and an iconic acting turn in Lad...
