Natalie Portman's generous center, Zombies, Greed & Brothers

"Given Natalie Portman’s elegant demeanor, a turn in a period Jane Austen adaptation was inevitable.Portman will star in and produce “Pride and Prejudice and Zombies”, a film that is based on the bestselling book written by Seth Grahame-Smith and Austen. Lionsgate will finance and distribute. Quirk Books published the tome.

Though Austen’s name is on the book, Grahame-Smith took the liberty of adding bloodthirsty flesh-eating zombies to the mix.Portman will produce through her handsomecharlie shingle with Annette Savitch, plus Darko Films’ Richard Kelly, Sean McKittrick and Ted Hamm".

Backstage at the 2009 Gotham Independent Film Awards, Scott Feinberg interviews Oscar nominee Natalie Portman about her GIFA career tribute and her new film "Brothers".

"When she was shooting her latest movie, Brothers, a Jim Sheridan-directed drama about the effects of the war in Afghanistan on an American soldier's family, she ate vegan because her costar Tobey Maguire brought his own vegan chef to the set. "I was like, 'Um, could you make two of those?'" She grins. "And I'd make a cute face, and they'd roll their eyes and give me another falafel."If the Star Wars prom dress seems a startling reminder of how long the 28-year-old actress has been in the business (she first played the young Queen Padmé Amidala, Princess Leia's mother, in 1999), let's be clear: She's been in it much, much longer than that. When shooting began on The Professional, her rivetingly sleek first movie, she was 11. Portman keeps her personal life very private. Until recently, she was with the musician Devendra Banhart, but now proclaims herself to be single. She doesn't spend her time with a posse of celebs; her closest circle of friends is still mostly made up of people from high school and college, plus a small core of women in L.A.
Mike Nichols, who directed her in Closer and in the 2001 Broadway production of The Seagull, says that as a result, Portman "has a very solid, generous center, even though for a little while she was at sea in a world of narcissists."Portman shrugs: "OK, so I didn't really go to high school parties," she says, "and yeah, I didn't touch pot till I was in my 20s. I didn't get flat-out drunk until I went to college. But I think that's a good thing in many ways." Source: www.marieclaire.com

Amanda Seyfried, Jake Gyllenhaal: love movies

Amanda Seyfried and Julianne Moore in "Chloe" (2009) directed by Atom Egoyam.

Watch
"Chloe" Press Conference in London.


"A new extended TV spot for Lasse Hallström's upcoming Nicholas Sparks adaptation "Dear John" has hit the Web recently, and you can see it below. It's basically a short version of the theatrical trailer.
In the flick, Amanda Seyfried plays a young woman falling in love with a solider (Channing Tatum) while he’s on leave. When he's deployed, however, the two try to maintain their relationship via love letters". source: www.screeninglog.com

Letters to Juliet Opens: May 7th 2010
Cast: Amanda Seyfried, Vanessa Redgrave, Christopher Egan, Gael García Bernal
Director: Gary Winick
Summary: An American girl on vacation in Italy finds an unanswered "letter to Juliet" -- one of thousands of missives left at the fictional lover's Verona courtyard, which are typically answered by "secretaries of Juliet. She goes on a quest to find the lovers referenced in the letter.Analysis: The first weekend of May is always good for two things - a superhero blockbuster for the guys that'll dominate the slot, and a fairly standard rom-com for the girls as counter programming that should pull in some of the trickle over audience. Last year it was "Wolverine" and "Ghosts of Girfriends Past", in 2010 it's "Iron Man 2" and this little engine that could which has an overall more noble and sweet sentiment than that McConaughey vehicle.The premise isn't too bad, the Verona location filming should be pleasing, the presence of Redgrave is always a delight even in pap, while "Mamma Mia" actress Seyfried is a charmingly buoyant lead. The downside are the guys with the usually reliable Bernal stuck with a scruffy look and a rather bland side role. Ex-Aussie soap star Chris Egan seems hampered by a poor man's British accent, though credit to the actor who impressed with his dramatic turn in NBC's short-lived "Kings".
Jake Gyllenhaal will play Jaime Reidy in "Love and Other Drugs" (2010).

Love and Other Drugs Opens: November 24th 2010
Cast: Jake Gyllenhaal, Anne Hathaway, Judy Greer, Gabriel Macht, Hank Azaria
Director: Ed Zwick

Summary: A salesman competes in the cutthroat world of pharmaceuticals to hawk a male erectile enhancement drug. He soon enters into a relationship with a free-spirited woman with Parkinson's disease who is already involved with a hotshot Prozac salesman.
Analysis: Based on Jamie Reidy's memoir "Hard Sell", what's curious here is the involvement of Ed Zwick, a director mostly known for foreign-set period action dramas like "The Last Samurai," "Blood Diamond", and "Defiance". Zwick has dipped his toe briefly in the genre before, but not for a long time and so the choice seems an odd one. It's also slightly risky considering high-concept comedy/dramas of late (e.g. "The Informant", "The Men Who Stare At Goats") haven't really caught on.

Still, it should guarantee a better looking adaptation than you'd might expect, helped along no doubt by various viagra jokes and a flurry of highly talked about sex scenes featuring "Brokeback Mountain" stars Jake Gyllenhaal and Anne Hathaway. Gyllenhaal got some headlines on the late night talk show circuit last month speaking about shooting several sequences dressed only in the tiny 'cock sock' actors use for sex scenes, if that becomes a big selling point of the trailer you could sign up a bunch of people right there.
Love and Other Impossible Pursuits Opens: 2010
Cast: Natalie Portman, Scott Cohen, Charlie Tahan
Director: Don Roos

Summary: Based on the Ayelet Waldman novel, the story revolves around a young woman who finds her relationship with her precocious stepson the key to recovering from a newborn's death, family issues and her marriage.Analysis: Starting out as a writer with the likes of "Single White Female" and "Boys on the Side", Don Roos hit the directing scene hard with 1998's wry and rich black comedy "The Opposite of Sex". Ever since then however he's been trying to match that success without much luck - giving us 2000's insipid "Bounce" and 2005's little seen "Happy Endings".
