Gwyneth Paltrow joins Kidman in 'Danish Girl'
3 hours ago
Oscar winner Gwyneth Paltrow is set to join Nicole Kidman in "The Danish Girl," Tomas Alfredson's drama from a script by Lucinda Coxon, who adapted David Ebershoff’s novel.
Based on a true story, the film focuses on Einar and Greta Wegener, two Danish artists whose marriage drastically changed when Einar became the first postoperative transsexual.
Kidman is Einar, and Paltrow plays Greta, according to Variety. Charlize Theron ("The Burning Plain") was once attached to that role, but she dropped out.
Paltrow will soon return to play Pepper Potts in "Iron Man 2." She was also seen in "Two Lovers." Kidman will soon dance in "Nine." Btw, Alfredson directed "Let the Right One In." »

'Why Did I Get Married Too' teaser trailer hits
3 hours ago
Tyler Perry's 2007 comedy/drama "Why Did I Get Married?" was a big box office success, so he decided to follow-up with a sequel. Bad idea? I sure think so. Check out the film's teaser after the jump.
In the sequel, a bunch of couples go on their annual vacation, where things spin out of control and they fall victim to some heavy drama. As this teaser suggests, it will be verrrrrryyyyyyy dramatic, indeed.
I think that's also where I fail to connect with this preview. I really loved the first film because it made me laugh a lot, but this looks like something out of a depressing horror film, don't you think? »

'Jurassic Park 4' - Yes or No?
3 hours ago
Man, that's a good question. We've been hearing a lot about "Jurassic Park 4" during the past years, and yet, the film never really came together. Will it anytime soon? Nobody really knows.
Late last year, producers Frank Marshall and Kathleen Kennedy said they were not too optimistic a fourth film would happen. Yet, they didn't say the project was completely buried.
Joe Johnston, director of "Jurassic Park III," recently talked to Ain't It Cool News about the film, and he said he is pretty much ready to bring the dinosaurs back to life. »

Hell no! Foxx, Lawrence go 'Sheneneh'
3 hours ago
I doubt this is a good idea: Jamie Foxx and Martin Lawrence will star as female characters in Screen Gems' upcoming comedy "Sheneneh and Wanda," which Foxx will write and co-produce.
The film stems from a movie trailer parody the two acrtors did for the Bet Awards. They got some positive buzz out of it, and next thing you know, they're planning a big feature film. »

Belgian star actress Cécile de France has officially boarded Clint Eastwood's upcoming supernatural thriller "Hereafter," which is currently shooting. Matt Damon is also on board.
Peter Morgan wrote the script, which follows three people touched by death in different ways. Variety says De France is set to play a French journalist having a near-death experience.
"Hereafter" is set for release December 2010. Parts of the film will apparently be shot in San Francisco, which is reason enough for me to keep my eyes wide open everywhere I go in the city. »

Jake Gyllenhaal deciphers 'Source Code'
3 hours ago
Oscar-nominated "Brokeback Mountain" star Jake Gyllenhaal is almost set to star in Duncan Jones' new sci-fi thriller "Source Code," which Summit Entertainment will bring to theaters.
Variety says the film will focus on a soldier who wakes up in the body of a commuter and relives a train bombing until he figures out who's behind the attack. Sounds a bit like "Deja Vu" to me. »
