    Streisand(?) to direct Blanchett and Firth in Skinny and Cat (???)

    http://blogs.indiewire.com/theplayli...cting-20120621

    Showbiz 411 reports that she's set to return behind the camera for the first time in sixteen years, on the oddly named "Skinny And Cat" starring Colin Firth and Cate Blanchett. Described as "an epic love story," the film penned by Linda Yellen (not much notable on her IMDB page, though she seems to love Brit royalty weddings) will tell the true story of the romance between writer Erskine Caldwell and photojournalist Margaret Bourke White. The duo collaborated on three books, the seminal "You Have Seen Their Faces" about the South during the Great Depression, "North Of The Danube" and "Say, Is This The USA." They married in 1924, but were divorced a couple of years later.
    This is all very weird but I hope it happens. But Carol also has a January start date and coming from Showbiz 411, grain of salt.

    Finally Blanchett works with a director of her own artistic level!

    Hopefully this will have lots of soft focus images under the light of candles.

    Not just AD; the entire world.

    This is a jewish conspiracy with Beastlett in a leading role. Poor Firth was better off doing senseless romcoms with girls half his age.

    I will only see this if it is a cross dressing musical extravaganza on the level of Yentl.

    Great. Now who's going to watch Sunday Rose on SAG night??

    I wonder where this report got "they married in 1924" from? That's not even close.

    Streisand has a nice hand with actresses (3 actresses nominated in the 3 films she directed) so watch out because this can mean Blanchett returning to the red carpet.


    Jali Awards Best Actress 1920-1925
    1920 Tora Teje, Erotikon // 1921 Pola Negri, The wildcat
    1922 Anna May Wong, The toll of the sea // 1923 Marion Davies, Little old New York
    1924 Marie Prevost, The marriage circle // 1925 Gloria Swanson, Stage struck

    She has probably cried many nights over failing to direct herself to a nomination though.

    You gonna be right, Jali. I was waiting for far too long to campaign for Blanchetts overdue best actress oscar again, now the opportunity might come again
    also great to see her in a collaboration with Firth, two of the classiests thespians of their generation working together

    There's something wrong with this signature.
    Can you find that ONE mistake?

    At least she's an EGOT winner, albeit a fake one.

    Also, with Babs and Seņor Blanchitto, I'm sure there will be NO overacting!

    Yeah, Oscar, I know. Like these people had Academy Award nominations in third grade.

    And none of those were lead nominees. So, it'll be some other bitch; Blanchitto is shit outta luck.
