Ledger’s Last Film Waiting For U.S. Buyers

I would not have expected Heath’s last film to be struggling like this. I thought it would find a major distrubutor with no problem at all. I hope it gets sorted out and gets a big release in the end.

Heath Ledger’s final film The Imaginarium Of Doctor Parnassus is facing a limited U.S. release as bosses struggle to land a deal with a major distributor.

Executives have been searching for six months for backers in America but are having difficulty finding a company to release the experimental movie, which features late actor Ledger as a travelling magician.

And American audiences may not have easy access to the independent project as a result of the marketing difficulties.

An industry source tells Reuters, “This movie stars Heath Ledger in his final performance – it will get a deal and come out in the U.S. But it’s no accident that it’s taking this long.”

Allen Hires Watts As His New Muse

So that’s Josh Brolin, Anthony Hopkins and now Naomi Watts confirmed for Woody Allen’s next film.

Naomi Watts is eager to follow in the footsteps of Oscar winner Penelope Cruz – she has signed to star in Woody Allen’s latest movie.

The Aussie actress has been cast in the as-yet-untitled film alongside Josh Brolin and Anthony Hopkins and will start shooting the project in London in Summer.

Cruz received critical acclaim for her turn in Allen’s latest film Vicky Cristina Barcelona – winning the Best Supporting actress trophy at the Oscars on Sunday.

Yes Man (2008) Review

Jim Carey is back to comedy and back to his best. No-one else could have done this role in the same manner as Jim Carrey. He really is just fantastic at comedy.

Oscars 2009 – After Thoughts

So after having a night to read other people’s views and opinions on the 2009 Oscars. I decided to now see my view on the whole show and how the awards went. Now looking at who won what, it really was the most predictable Oscar night in recent memory. The only real shock was Sean Penn winning for ‘Milk’ as yes he was good but Mickey Rourke in ‘The Wrestler’ was incredible. Mickey really should have walked away with the Oscar.

The other complaint I now have is best original screenplay, yes ‘Milk’ had a good screenplay but it was all based on the real events and actual words Harvey Milk spoke so that isn’t totally original (yes I know some of it would have been put in my the writer). But a real gem of an original screenplay was ‘In Bruges’ totally unique and different from anything that has been done before. It should have been recognised for how clever, funny and heartfelt the whole story was. It is a film which has everything and one of my favorite films of last year.

Lets hope that next year, it will be more uncertain who is going to take home which award. A bit more competition and that the academy actually picks the best 5 films of the year to compete for best picture.
