Natalie Portman is venturing into the world of comedy, she’s got YOUR HIGHNESS coming up this year with James Franco and Danny McBride and she’s set to star in PRIDE AND PREJUDICE AND ZOMBIES, I’m definitely standing first in line for that one. Pajiba said she’s also signed on for BEST BUDS, a stoner road trip comedy that’s NOT a remake of that one Chong movie.. Read the rest of this entry »

When it was announced that Natalie Portman will star in the twisted adaptation of PRIDE AND PREJUDICE AND ZOMBIES, Rama’s SCREEN reader David challenged me to read the book by Seth Grahame-Smith and Austen. He said it’s pretty much the same deal as the original classic “the social equality themes, men vs. women, love against prejudice and pride, things like that. Obviously the zombies throw in a different style”. I’ll still need to go to the book store and find out for myself but David and those of you anticipating this project would be pleased to know that Panjiba has heard that a certain angry filmmaker might be taking the directing job… Read the rest of this entry »
It’s been almost a year since we heard about that crazy concept of PRIDE AND PREJUDICE AND ZOMBIES where the heroine Elizabeth Bennett and her sisters are going to pull a Buffy as they go around slaying zombies and Mr. Darcy teaches them how to fight. Almost anything nowadays can be a new plot just by throwing the undead into the mix. It’s like adding new spices into the ingredients but it may or may not taste as what we expect it to. But one of the fairest actresses of them all thinks it’s too cool of a plot to resist… Read the rest of this entry »
Another hottie has joined the Darren Aronofsky-directed Ballerina psychological thriller/drama BLACK SWAN and obviously judging by the picture above, she’s no stranger to Ballet. Via moviehole, her name is Kristina Anapau (Cursed, Self Medicated), she’s also made appearances in some of my favorite TV series like House and Monk… Read the rest of this entry »
Earlier today, Natalie Portman who plays Nurse Jane in the Marvel live action movie THOR, spoke too much and revealed that her friend Kat Dennings is also going to play a role in the movie. Hollywood Reporter says that Dennings’ involvement has been kept secret all this time but that ship has sailed thanks to Portman and now the world can now that Dennings’ character will be working for Nurse Jane but Spoiler TV knows more… Read the rest of this entry »
The long wait is finally over! Marvel has announced, via Production weekly, that the principal photography for THOR live action movie will start in mid-January 2010 in Los Angeles and the scheduled four-month shoot will move to Santa Fe, NM from March through April. Who knows how long the post-production will last after that and if director Kenneth Branagh will have some awesome footage to show the fans at Comic-Con 2010 but I’m hoping that would be the case. The ball is rolling, next year we’ll have IRON MAN 2, the next year after that are SPIDER-MAN 4 and THOR and THE FIRST AVENGER: CAPTAIN AMERICA and the year after that is the ultimate gathering of Marvel superheroes, THE AVENGERS. Bring it on!… Read the rest of this entry »
We’ve haven’t heard much about BLACK SWAN for a while. The Darren Aronofsky project that’s going to require its stars Natalie Portman and Mila Kunis to engage in an aggressive sex scene has found some additional cast members. Slashfilm has learned that Winona Ryder, Barbara Hershey, and Vincent Cassel have all signed on… Read the rest of this entry »
Yahoo has this new trailer for BROTHERS, that feels more like an intense mix between teaser and TV spot but check out Tobey Maguire’s creepy performance, you have never seen him like this before. What starts out as an emotional drama turns into a pulse-pounding psycho suspense/thriller. I’m even more shocked at how much the kid knows about adults sleeping together, whatever happened to innocent childhood?! Frankly, I’m not sure if any aspect of this film will get recognized/awarded by the Oscars
Watch the trailer after the jump… Read the rest of this entry »
Director Kenneth Branagh has found his Odin and it’s not Brian Blessed as previously rumored. According to Variety, the man who will play the ruler of Asgard, father of the mighty God of thunder THOR, is none other than the great Sir Anthony Hopkins (Beowulf, Fracture, Alexander) or as Hollywood would call him.. the go-to guy when they need an actor who’s old and wise and badass all at once… Read the rest of this entry »
