I myself find her films terribly bland, frigid and visionless, but Jane Campion is directing 6 episodes of BBC's new mini series
TOP OF THE LAKE.To be set in the wonderful landscapes of New Zealand the story will center around a detective who tries to solve the disappearance of a 12-year-old pregnant daughter of a local drug lord. The lead role will be taken by MAD MEN's brilliant Elisabeth Moss, with Peter Mullan playing the drug lord, and Holly Hunter and David Wenham also in the cast. MovieWeb reported today about an interesting film called DREAMT, set in modern day, where two people have a supernatural connection and therefore are actually dreaming in each other's lives. Conflict ensues after the men discover each other's existence, leading one man to try to take over the other's life and stopping at nothing to get it.
And check out the pictures from the gala premiere of this year's biggest epic IMMORTALS which hits cinemas this weekend. As you know, Tarsem's movie follows the battle between Theseus, Gods and evil king Hyperion. The stars of the premiere were off
course Henry Cavill who plays Theseus and Luke Evans who plays Zeus. Two of them were looking super dashing, but no surprise there since they are two of the most handsome young stars in Hollywood. Freida Pinto, who plays a visionary priestess, looked absolutely stunning in her exotic ivory gown, while young Isabel Lucas, who plays Athena, chose a rather disappointing
dress which didn't show off her beauty. Kellan Lutz who plays Poseidon also looked positively gorgeous in a black suit. To read more about the movie of the year, check out our exclusive spotlight on IMMORTALS.
HOLLYWOOD SPY HEADLINES
I don't know about you but I've always loved films with interconnected stories, and a new one will come from Neil LaBute who will adapt his book of short stories into SECOND OF PLEASURE film
weaving together several separate but intertwined stories about 6 different couples. The cast so far is interesting: Brendan Fraser, Christina Hendricks, Matt Dilon, Julia Stiles, Kristin Scott Thomas. One of the coolest British sitcoms ever, legendary ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS with the utterly crazy duo of two hilarious snobs played by Jennifer Saunders and Joanna Lumley, is heading to the big screen according to "Deadline" and it will begin with Edina and Patsy waking up, hung over as usually, on a yacht in the middle of the ocean, with no cell phone signal to call for help. Fabulous, absolutely fabulous :) Good news: both Brett Ratner and Eddie Murphy have resigned from directing and hosting next year OSCARS :) This is apparently due to Brett making a scandalous and idiotic remark this weekend saying "rehearsal is for fags".
