Blanchett Lands Maid Marian Role Opposite Crowe

Cate Blanchett is one of my favorite actresses. I love Robin Hood movies, so hopefully this will be good 🙂

Aussie actress Cate Blanchett is to play Maid Marian opposite Russell Crowe‘s Robin Hood in a new movie about the Medieval hero.

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button star will replace Sienna Miller in the epic, which will be directed by Brit Ridley Scott.

Shooting on the movie, originally titled Nottingham, will begin in Britain in April.

Daily Variety reports the film’s budget will be $130 million (£89.6 million).

Eastwood Handed Cannes Festival Honour

Well done to Clint Eastwood!!!

Screen legend Clint Eastwood received a special Cannes Film Festival lifetime achievement honour on Wednesday.

The Dirty Harry star was presented with the Palme d’Or award by Festival President Gilles Jacob at a private ceremony in Paris, in recognition of his successful movie career.

And Eastwood was delighted to become only the second person to receive the prestigious honour from the organisers.

He says, “I’m very, very flattered that you’ve chosen me for this. French cineastes have always been very supportive of me along the way. When I directed my first movie, French cineastes and critics encouraged me, while in my own country, everyone was much more reticent. France is the first country to approach and appreciate cinema as an art form.”

Cannes Film Festival bosses have only ever handed out one other lifetime achievement Palme d’Or honour – to Ingmar Bergman in 1997.

Oscars 2009 – Favorite Moment

So this so should have been Mickey Rourke winning the best actor award, but as that didn’t happen my favorite moment had to be Kate Winslet winning. But not just that, the way she grabbed Angelina Jolie’s hand on the way past. As seen in this picture:

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.”

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.

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.
