Film and Theatre Lover!
After waiting so long for even one poster for Nine, yet another has been released! Which I think is just great, the world premiere for Nine is in London next week on the 3rd of Decemeber. So it will be interesting to see which of the actors/actresses attend the premiere.
Three posters have now been released for “Nine”. This really builds up the suspense of wanting to see this movie even more. I like all three of them, as they are all different, with different pictures of the actors on them.
As I am very excited for this movie to come out (especially after the trailer being on before Fame last week). I decided to post the pictures which have been released as stills of the movie. From the trailer and the pictures below, I am really holding high hopes of loving this movie. Just for the facts that it is a musical and it is directed by Rob Marshall, who directed one of my favorite films in Chicago.
I think this film is just fantastic, with all of the women in the photo. Such fantastic talent in this picture.
As you may already know, I love musicals and “Chicago” is one of my favorite films. So when I found out that Rob Marshall was bringing another musical to the big stage I have been every excited about it. Even more so after watching this trailer as it looks fantastic, and really does have a great cast made up of Oscar Winners. This film has to be part of the Oscar Nominations next year.
Next 10 in my list . . .
I very much like the sound of this !!!
Movie mogul siblings Bob and Harvey Weinstein have picked up Christian Bale and Mark Wahlberg’s boxing movie.
The Weinstein Company has acquired the international rights to The Fighter and is now selling the film at the Cannes Film Festival in France.
The film, about Massachsetts boxing brothers Dickie Eklund (Bale) and ‘Irish’ Micky Ward (Wahlberg), is currently in pre-production. David O. Russell will direct.
The project joins an impressive list of upcoming movies for the Weinsteins, who will also be handling Quentin Tarantino’s Inglourious Basterds, Rob Zombie’s Halloween sequel H2 and the much-anticipated musical Nine, which features an all-star cast including Daniel Day Lewis, Penelope Cruz, Nicole Kidman, Kate Hudson, and Judi Dench.
I find this really interesting as it has often been stated that Daniel Day Lewis is very serious about his acting.
Sir Ian McKellen always struggled working with Daniel Day-Lewis – because of the star’s extreme acting methods.
The thespians were both members of the Royal Shakespeare Company throughout the 1980s.
McKellen insists he found it difficult to get on with Day-Lewis, because he was so serious about his techniques.
And McKellen reveals the Oscar-winner has maintained his method acting ways throughout his career.
He says, “Daniel insists you address him by his character’s name the whole time he is doing a film. If he is speaking with an American accent, he talks all the time in American. If he is riding horseback, then it is horseback all the time.”
Tim Burton‘s big-screen adaptation of Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber Of Fleet Street is leading the nominations for the 2009 Empire magazine film awards.
The musical is up for five prizes including Burton for best director, Johnny Depp for best actor and Helena Bonham Carter for best actress, while also receiving nods in the soundtrack and horror categories.
Depp will battle it out for the best actor title alongside Daniel Day Lewis (There Will Be Blood), Robert Downey Jr (Iron Man), Christian Bale (The Dark Knight) and Daniel Craig (Quantum Of Solace).
Bonham-Carter will vie for the best actress statuette with Angelina Jolie (Changeling), Ellen Page (Juno), Sally Hawkins (Happy-Go-Lucky) and Olga Kurylenko (Quantum Of Solace).
There Will Be Blood, No Country For Old Men, The Dark Knight, Iron Man and Wall-e will go head to head for the best film prize.
The ceremony will take place at London’s Grosvenor House Hotel on 29 March.
As the Oscars is only 2 days away. I thought one way to celebrate is to post some pictures of previous winners with the Gold statue in hand.
Martin Scorsese eventually won as Oscar for “The Departed”. Presented to him by Francis Ford Coppola, George Lucas and Steven Spielberg.
