Vincent Cassel and Rosario Dawson join "Trance"; The amazing poster and the thrilling trailer for "The Ides of March";

  • Some weeks ago, it was reported that Danny Boyle (Slumdog Millionaire) wanted Michael Fassbender (Hunger) for his upcoming thriller - Trance - but then Fassbender had a schedule conflict and he wasn't able to shoot the movie. Some days after, James McAvoy (Atonement) signed for a role in the movie and Boyle said he wanted Colin Firth (The King's Speech) for Fassbender's role and Scarlett Johansson (Lost In Translation) for the most important female role in the movie. But Firth also had a schedule conflict and wasn't able to shoot the movie, so Vincent Cassel (Black Swan) came aboard and he has just signed. The movie will start shooting this September and once Johansson starts shooting Jonathan Glazer's Under the Skin in October, she's also out of the project and was replaced by Rosario Dawson (Sin City). This movie casting process it's almost a movie plot... Well, with Danny Boyle in the director's chair and a cast composed by McAvoy, Cassel and a "fresh face" named Rosario Dawson - Trance stills looking like an interesting heist thriller!

    • After the announcement of The Ides of March as part of Toronto International Film Festival, the movie poster and the trailer were released and let me say that both seem amazing. The trailer just screams Oscar and seems really thrilling (not a Frost/Nixon) and the poster is such an interesting piece of art to watch. The movie is an adaptation of the play Farragut North, it's written by Grant Heslov and George Clooney (writers of Good Night, and Good Luck), it's directed by George Clooney and stars Ryan Gosling (Blue Valentine), Philip Seymour Hoffman (Capote), Paul Giamatti (Sideways), Marisa Tomei (The Wrestler), Jeffrey Wright (Syriana) and... George Clooney! Just look at these:

    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...
