Penélope Cruz in Woody Allen next film project; Hugh Jackman may be the Huntsman; Pride & Prejudice & Zombies may have a new director;

It seems that Penélope Cruz (Volver) said that she and Woody Allen will work again on "his next movie". The Spanish actress added that she can't say anything more due to the fact that Allen is really secretive, but she confirmed that it will be her next movie and older reports say it will happen in Rome. Remember that last time the Cruz&Allen team worked together was in Vicky Cristina Barcelona (2008) and Cruz received an Academy Award of Best Supporting Actress for playing an explosive and unstable ex-wife that were part of a love triangle. Hope it will be great, Woody...

According to Collider, "Deadline reports that Universal has offered Hugh Jackman the role of the Huntsman in the Rupert Sanders-directed re-imagining of the classic fairy tale." Viggo Mortensen (The Lord of the Rings trilogy) dropped out of the project, but it seems that Universal is looking for another "movie star" for the movie and Hugh Jackman may get the lead role in Snow White and the Huntsman if he wants to. The movie will also star Kristen Stewart (Twilight saga) as Snow White and Charlize Theron (Monster) as The Evil Queen. I'm a bit aprehensive about this project, but let's see how it works...

Craig Gillespie (Lars and the Real Girl) is the new "in talks" director to work on the adaptation of Pride & Prejudice & Zombies. Other directors like David O. Russel (The Fighter) and Mike White (School of Rock) have been linked to the project, but they droped out. The movie have also all-star names rumoured for the casting like Bradley Cooper (The Hangover), Tilda Swinton (Michael Clayton) or Mia Wasikowska (Alice In Wonderland), just to name a few, after Natalie Portman (Black Swan) passed the project as an actress (but staying as a producer), but those name were only rumours. I think there will be a great party in Hollywood when this project will finally start shooting...

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 ).

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
