This was not meant to be. Instead, TheWrap have learned — more than two years after the project was last noted on this site — that it’s falling into the lap of Spike Lee. As he continues post-production work on Oldboy, Black Bear Pictures‘ website lists his name under the director slot — a little unofficial, but almost as close as we could get to a confirmation.

Uma Thurman will star as controversial anti-gay activist Anita Bryant in Anita, produced by Sex And the City creator Darren Star, Howard Rosenman, Jeffrey Schwarz and Dennis Erdman. Rob Epstein and Jeffrey Friedman will direct from a screenplay by Chad Hodge. Those filmmakers, who most recently helmed Lovelace, won Oscars for Common Threads: Stories From The Quilt and The Times Of Harvey Milk. Anita Bryant doesn’t stand a chance here! The film follows the singer and orange juice spokeswoman who, after allowing a gay screenwriter into her home, is forced to confront her past as an anti-gay Christian crusader who successfully campaigned to overturn a gay rights law in Florida and whose polarizing views destroyed her show biz career in the process. The film will be shopped here at Cannes.

Thurman next stars in Lars Van Triers’ Nymphomaniac, and the next film by the directors is The Battle Of AmFAR, which HBO broadcasts in December. UTA Independent and WME are co-repping domestic. ]]> FILM::news BlackDarkLake http://awardsdailyforums.com/showthread.php?33066-Uma-Thurman-to-Play-Anita-Bryant Last Vegas trailer: The Hangover for Old People starring 4 Oscar winners http://awardsdailyforums.com/showthread.php?33065-Last-Vegas-trailer-The-Hangover-for-Old-People-starring-4-Oscar-winners&goto=newpost Thu, 16 May 2013 20:29:21 GMT http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R4IlkUXBqIE I think after you watch the trailer, you can see why this film trailer deserves its own thread. :lol: ...

Scarlett Johansson will be directing Summer Crossing, an adaptation of Truman Capote's unpublished novel Summer Crossing. The novel is about a 17-year old New York debutante who embarks a summer romance with a Jewish valet in the summer of 1945.

http://www.deadline.com/2013/05/cann...mmer-crossing/

I think this has potential but I'm hoping she doesn't do Affleck and insist on casting herself on a role she's not suited for and instead gets someone more age appropriate for the female lead. However, they probably want someone older than 17 so that the film plays older and like an adult prestige fare instead of like a YA adaptation. Period dramas can be quite expensive so I'd expect them to try to get someone with a good name recognition - basically Watson, Stone, Stewart, Lawrence or Woodley. While the novel went unpublished, I'd assume quite a few actresses would want to do Capote adaptation if their schedule allows them to.

The shooting will begin next year. ( Considering the fact that Avengers we'll be filming in the spring and the rumors that Scarlett has threatened to quit if she doesn't get a raise, we might have Black Widow-less Avengers 2.) ]]> FILM::news Cecilia http://awardsdailyforums.com/showthread.php?33059-Scarlett-Johansson-directing-Truman-Capote-s-unpublished-Summer-Crossing Drew Goddard Heads to Space For ‘The Martian’ http://awardsdailyforums.com/showthread.php?33058-Drew-Goddard-Heads-to-Space-For-‘The-Martian’&goto=newpost Thu, 16 May 2013 03:02:20 GMT Image: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v303/Gustavo_HR/41KHk4WD-eL_SS500__zpsca58e397.jpg ...

According to The Wrap, he has been set by Fox to write and direct an adaptation of Andy Weir‘s The Martian. Following an astronaut who lands on Mars but soon finds himself stranded and in order to survive, he must figure out a way to return to Earth. The source material has been compared to both Apollo 13 and Cast Away, but one may intially think of Alfonso Cuaron‘s upcoming Gravity.

Cate Blanchett will star in helmer-scribe David Mamet’s “Blackbird,” a present-day Hitchcockian nailbiter turning on a secret explanation for the 1963 assassination of U.S. president John F. Kennedy.

Blanchett plays Janet, who travels to Los Angeles for the funeral of her grandfather, a Hollywood visual effects artist who moonlighted for U.S. special ops agencies. Her grandfather’s well-kept secrets become a threat to her, forcing Janet to discover the truth about a man who dedicated his life to making illusion reality.

The film will be in both French and Italian and will be about a mother who takes her 17 year old son to Italy in order to take him away from his life in Paris and his deepening heroin addiction. While in Italy she meets a man who can help her son and change her life.

It is interesting that Moretti has cast Binoche as she turned down Laura Morant's role in The Son's Room as she felt it was too close to Three Colours Blue.

Italian firms 01, Rai and Bim Film are listing this film as "Destini Inevitabili" with Juliette Binoche, François Civil and Stefano Accorsi listed as "in negotiations" - This means there is no production deal in place yet, but clearly the producers are keen to get it off the ground at Cannes ]]> FILM::news jevousaime http://awardsdailyforums.com/showthread.php?33038-Juliette-Binoche-in-Nanni-Moretti-next-film Kate Winslet is The Dressmaker http://awardsdailyforums.com/showthread.php?33020-Kate-Winslet-is-The-Dressmaker&goto=newpost Fri, 10 May 2013 20:33:45 GMT ---Quote--- Kate Winslet has signed on to star in Jocelyn Moorhouse’s 1950’s-set revenge-romance The Dressmaker.

Kate Winslet has signed on to star in Jocelyn Moorhouse’s 1950’s-set revenge-romance The Dressmaker.

Winslet will play Tilly, an avenging angel who returns home to the remote Australian country town from which she fled as a child after being accused of murder. Although ostracised, Tilly, an exponent of stunning ’40s haute couture, liberates and empowers the town’s women with her wit and her fashionable designs. She eventually finds unexpected love and is able to exact revenge on those who wronged her.

Jocelyn Moorhouse (Proof) directs her adaptation of the novel by Rosalie Ham while among the impressive crew already signed on are Don McAlpine (Moulin Rouge, Romeo + Juliet), costume designer Janet Patterson (The Piano), production designer Roger Ford (Chronicles of Narnia) and editor Jill Bilcock (Moulin Rouge, Elizabeth: The Golden Age)....

Tim Haslam and Hugo Grumbar’s Embankment Films are handling international sales and co-represent the US with CAA. The London-based outfit will begin sales at Cannes. Ingenious Senior Film Fund will back the film, represented by Gavin Poolman.
