Our beloved Catherine Zeta Jones has joined BROKEN CITY, as the wife of the New York City mayor (Russell Crowe) who
hires a Brooklyn private detective (Mark Wahlberg) to discover the identity of his wife's lover. When the lover turns up dead, the detective digs deeper into the case and discovers a vast conspiracy involving the mayor. As you know, we haven't seen Catherine on the big screen for a long time, more than four years, due to her husband's cancer and other private problems, but now she is slowly coming back. Next year we shall watch her in sports comedy PLAYING THE FIELD next to Gerard Butler, in LAY THE FAVOURITE which follows sportsbook system crooks next to Bruce Willis, and in ROCK OF AGES musical next to Tom Cruise.
Earlier this summer I posted some magnificent pictures from Antonio Banderas' new epic BLACK GOLD and now here's the first trailer. Set in the 1930s Arab states at the dawn of the oil
boom, the story centers on a young Arab prince torn between allegiance to his conservative father and modern, liberal father-in-law. The film will depict the story of the man who united all of those Arab states into a powerful nation. With the music composed by brilliant James Horner (TITANIC), the film also stars
Mark Strong (as an emir, Banderas' main rival), Freida Pinto (as emir's daughter, princess Lalah) and Tahar Rahim (as Strong's son, prince Auda). The film should hit cinemas this December directed by amazing Jean Jacques Annaud's (the sensual French director of ENEMY AT THE GATES and SEVEN YEARS IN TIBET.
HOLLYWOOD SPY HEADLINES
MovieWeb reports that Ben Stiller is taking a directorial chair, but not in a comedy but in a dark mystery. THE MOUNTAIN will
be set in the early 1900s, revolving around a young woman who struggles to confront her destiny after stumbling upon a mysterious object that forces her to examine the secrets of her past. The film will be based on the book by Edith Wharton called SUMMER. Super cute Mandy Moore, whom we've mentioned a few days ago about her new ABC sitcom, and who did such a marvelous job with her voice in TANGLED, will now give her voice in Disney's TV series for little kids called OKI'S OASIS. The ubber cute story will follow a cat who is the sheriff of the friendliest town in the west :)
