Anticipated Christmas Gift

"New Line has set Peter Sarsgaard to star with Jake Gyllenhaal and Reese Witherspoon in "Rendition," director Gavin Hood's followup to his Oscar-winning "Tsotsi."
Kelley Sane wrote the script, with filming to begin this fall.

Pic centers on a CIA operative in the Middle East who questions his assignment after observing a secret-police grilling of a suspect in a suicide bombing.


Sarsgaard has completed the comedy "Year of the Dog" for Paramount Vantage. He also just wrapped the lead role in "Mysteries of Pittsburgh," which Michael London is producing and financing through his Groundswell Prods. banner.

Thesp is repped by CAA and man-ager Jon Rubenstein." -by Michael Fleming- Source: Variety


I'm really illusioned knowing that Peter has been casted in the next Jake & Reese film "Rendition" (2007). My new unexpected Christmas gift, with my two preferred hotties acting in it. In the picture below, it's me with Santa (he's not the same Jarhead Santa I would have liked, folks).

Kendra, that is indeed great news to be able to look forward to seeing Peter and Jake in a movie together again, but oohh, what a long wait we are going to have here in Europe - we will need a LOT of PATIENCE..!! GRUMBLE!
(By the way, you and Santa together: two cuties..! *wink*!).

Thanks, Penny Lane and Simon: I'm not sure Santas are bigger here than in N.Y. but this one I found in Pare Palau St. was very nice to me ;) XX

Sean, it's about time for some hesitant folks they start the Christmas searching, I liked the Sufjan Stevens song.

Haha, Simon, Barbra is a "Funny Marie-Antoinette", so over the top and vodevilesque in the video.

So are you a fan of Barbra? My mother likes her old movies, specially What's up, Doc?(1972) and melodramatic The way we were(1973). I'm usually neutral to her.

Simon, that is very funny; so is my husband!! He is both crazy about her voice and her acting!!
I think I have watched 'Yentl' 10 times or so because of him..! Actually, come to think of it, I love her too!

Simon, will have to check that out and see whether it is available here in Europe; sounds like a perfect Christmas gift for my husband! I see you are not overly enthusiastic about Yentl - ha ha! -yeah, somewhat sugary I guess but the grande finale of her on the boat belting out 'Papa can you hear me..', does bring on the tears for me..! She has a tremendous voice.
