NICOLE KIDMAN HAS "THE FAMILY FANG"! VINCE VAUGHN TO FATHER 533 KIDS IN "STARBUCK"! HAYLEY ATWELL IN "10 THINGS I HATE ABOUT LIFE"! TRAILER FOR EVA MENDES' "GIRL IN PROGRESS"

Ah, that Nicole Kidman really is a busy woman, beside shooting
THE RAILWAYMAN period series with Colin Firth, BEFORE I GO TO SLEEP drama about a woman who has a 24 hours memory span and maybe becoming GRACE OF MONACO, she has now been attached to star in THE FAMILY FANG. It's a very weird story based on Kevin Wilson's best-selling book, which follows two performance artist parents, who would always force their children to participate in these bizarre events. When their grown children return with crises of their own, the parents suck them into pulling off one final and daring act, even though the kids blame these performances for how badly their lives turned out. Nicole is currently shooting Wentworth Miller's mystery thriller STOKER with Matthew Goode, Lucas Till and Dermot Mullroney.

HOLLYWOOD SPY HEADLINES
Talking about weird parenting and weird stories, here's another one: as "Variety" reports Vince Vaughn will star in the American remake of French film STARBUCK in which the story centres on a middle-aged
man who has fathered 533 children through sperm donations. Given the nickname Starbuck, he struggles to decide if he wants to meet a couple hundred of his children, who have come forward in seeking him out. The same site also reports that THE PILLARS OF THE EARTH and CAPTAIN AMERICA actress Hayley Atwell will star in 10 THINGS I HATE ABOUT LIFE, the story of two relatable, ordinary people with normal jobs and normal desires whose seemingly great lives have become unmanageable, two people who go to the same place at the same time to end it. … Their chance meeting is so awkward, so raw, and so funny, they postpone their intentions and go their separate ways.

GIRL IN PROGRESS
And since this week has been extremely poor with trailers, the only one I have for you is for a film which opens this weekend.GIRL IN PROGRESS follows Grace (Eva Mendes) a single mom who is too busy juggling work, bills, and the very married Dr. Hartford
(Matthew Modine), to give her daughter, Ansiedad (Cierra Ramirez) the attention she desperately needs. When Ansiedad's English teacher, Ms. Armstrong (Patricia Arquette), introduces her students to classic coming-of-age stories, Ansiedad is inspired to skip adolescence and jump-start her life without mom. While Grace becomes preoccupied with the increasing affections of her co-worker (Eugenio Derbez), Ansiedad enlists the help of her loyal friend, Tavita (Raini Rodriguez), to plot her shortcut to adulthood. But as her misguided plan unravels, Ansiedad and Grace must learn that sometimes growing-up means acting your age.
