Kirsten's Co-Stars
"KIRSTEN KISSES AND TELLS ON THE MEN IN HER LIFE"
We asked Dunst to dish on her impressive list of hunky co-stars. [USA WEEKEND, October 2005]
ORLANDO BLOOM -- "Elizabethtown" [2005]
"What people don't know is he's such a dork! I saw your magazine cover [USA WEEKEND, April 29-May 1, 2005], and he looked really cool. I wish people would stop trying to make him that way. He's so sweet and goofy, and he loves his dog. It's the way he walks; it's not putting on airs and acting however he feels. And [filming in Kentucky] there were so many crowds, and mostly girls who wanted to see Orlando. I was like, 'OK, Orlando, I'll be in my trailer!' "
PAUL BETTANY -- "Wimbledon" (2004)
"He's so wise and so ethereal, too -- it's amazing. He has a delicate way about him. But he's also strong. He made me laugh -- but it's very English humor, which I wouldn't always get. I'd be like, 'What? The bollocks, what?' "
TOBEY MAGUIRE -- the "Spider-Man" movie series
(2002, 2004 and 2007)
"I thought Tobey was adorable. We have incredible chemistry. We've been on a long journey, and we're friends. In fact, this [pointing to her necklace, a delicate gold leaf on a gold chain] is Tobey's girlfriend Jen Meyer's new jewelry line. I love it."
JOSH HARTNETT -- "The Virgin Suicides" (1999)
"I didn't think he was good-looking enough after seeing his head shot. I said, 'Sofia [Coppola, the director, who also cast Dunst to star in next year's biopic, Marie-Antoinette], are you sure?' But then I met him, and I was like, 'OK, very, very good choice, Sofia!' I was a little intimidated."
DUSTIN HOFFMAN and ROBERT DE NIRO -- "Wag the Dog" (1997)
"Robert was a little more serious and reserved. Dustin was definitely the more gregarious one, very flirty and fatherly. He kept trying to hook me up with his son, Jake. And [Jake and I] actually went out a little bit."
TOM CRUISE and BRAD PITT -- Interview with the Vampire (1994)
"Tom [produced] 'Elizabethtown.' He ran up and gave me a big hug; he has always been so proud of me. He acts very protective.
In the movie, Dunst, then 11, kisses Brad Pitt. She later said, "I hated it. It was gross! It was like kissing your brother. His lips were so dry." Today, she balks at the subject. "That's so in the past, and I was so young, and it was so not a big deal to me! When I see Brad, it's like, 'Awww!' It brings back a sentimental thing for me.
MARK RUFFALO -- "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind" (2004)
"He's probably my favorite. He brought out so much in me. My vulnerable side ... it's very easy with him. One day we were jumping on the bed in our underwear [for a scene], and it wasn't awkward. We had so much fun." Source: USA Weekend
thanks to Penny Lane!

Vote for Kirsten
Kirsten Dunst has been chosen nominee in the Favorite Leading Lady category by People Choice's Award. So, besides of North America votation, you can take a minute for giving her a little victory. Aside of Cameron "joker-smile" Diaz, her tough rival is Scarlett Johansson, but I ask does ScarJo have those cute dimples? Another reason to reward her is these recent rumours about how Jake pissed off Kirsten in the Hennessy Artistry event at Capitale on 17 th October and how she also received a negative from Jake to attend a lunch that Marie Antoinette star proposed him, I don't give too much credit to this story, but if it turns to be true, I'll get very angry at him for not giving Kirsten a second (or 100th) chance.
Vote now for her as Leading Lady here (and for others) hitting "Movies". Fans can vote for their favorites in movies, TV and music at pcavote.com. Winners will be announced when the show airs live on CBS 9th January. Source: E!online.com
Next Kirsten Film
"Paramount Vantage has acquired A.N. Wilson's novel "A Jealous Ghost" for Kirsten Dunst to star in and produce. Film 360, Management 360's feature film label, also is on board to produce the supernatural thriller, which is being adapted by Virginia-based scribe Megan Holley.
360's Ben Forkner discovered the 2005 book while on a trip to London last year. He immediately thought of Dunst, who had said she was interested in finding a dark, elevated psychological thriller in the vein of "The Shining" and Roman Polanski's "Repulsion."
Shelley Duvall as Wendy in "The Shining" by Stanley Kubrick.
Catherine Deneuve as Carole in "Repulsion" by Roman Polanski.
Dunst has not appeared in a dark supernatural thriller since 1994's "Interview With the Vampire," the movie that launched her to stardom.
Dunst, Forkner and her manager, 360's Eric Kranzler, developed a take with Holley before bringing the project to Paramount Vantage.
Holley's take detours from the book, which is written in third-person omniscient, dropping certain elements while creating new characters and story points. The take sees Dunst playing a young woman studying in London who, upon beginning a relationship with one of her professors, starts seeing demons.
Producing for 360 are Kranzler, Forkner and Daniel Rappaport." Source: Hollywoodreporter
Thanks to Hedda Parsons for the heads-up!
Researching for this book I found this about the novel:
"There is something rather disquieting about Sallie Declan, a young American in London, and it is not just her obsession with Henry James's The Turn of the Screw, the subject of her PhD thesis. There is her decision, almost casually taken, to leave her studies for a temporary job as a nanny in a large country house. She seems to display astonishing naivety as she builds a fantasy about her emotional future there. Surely she can see it is all delusion? But a progressively darker reality unfolds as we are led inexorably towards a terrible and shocking climax. With A Jealous Ghost A. N. Wilson has written a masterpiece to rival even that of the master himself, Henry James." Source: Fantasticfiction.co.uk
"His novels include The Healing Art (Somerset Maugham Award), Wise Virgin (WH Smith Award). His study of the Victorian age, The Victorians, was published by Hutchinson in 2002 to massive critical acclaim." extracted from Amazon.com
I'm an usual reader of this genre and I was myself obsessed with Henry James and three adaptations of his novel "The turn of the screw":
"The turn of the screw" (1959) by John Frankenheimer, "The Innocents"(1961) by Jack Clayton and "The Others" (2001) by Alejandro Amenábar.

Tagging a piece of cinema
1. Popcorn or candy?
Always popcorn, guys and dolls. Two varieties of it: sugary-coloured popcorn or extra-sized white popcorn. Never cheese-flavoured popcorn (horrible).
2. Name a movie you've been meaning to see forever.
"The Bourne Supremacy" It causes me laziness in cause of the cast stars: Matt Damon, Julia Stiles, but I've read it's a good sequel to "The Bourne Identity" (2002), which I enjoyed immensely, specially when Clive Owen appeared onscreen. Some day soon.
3. You are given the power to recall one Oscar: Who loses theirs and to whom?
As my memory isn't too good to look backwards in the past -and I don't have much time to look through Imdb- although there were many injustices in Oscar competitions, I'd choose that one of my readers, gr77, mentioned in the Eternal Sunshine poem post: Kate Winslet should have won the Oscar who was delivered to Hillary Swank (she had already an Oscar for "Boys don't cry", damnit!)
4. Steal one costume from a movie for your wardrobe.
Which will it be?
The hooker costume that Reese Witherspoon wore in the film "Freeway" (1996). Grunge and appealing outfit.
5. Your favorite film franchise is...
The Texas Chain Saw Massacre saga, starting by the initial Tobe Hooper's classic (1974) a horror masterpiece, the sequels are pitiful, but the iconic Leatherface and Texas atmosphere always get me.
6. Invite five movie people over for dinner. Who are they? Why'd you invite them? What do you feed them?
James Dean, James Stewart, Katherine Hepburn (the irony factor), Marilyn Monroe and Jayne Mansfield - Blonde and Blonder ! (so we would make jokes about big boobs).
7. What is the appropriate punishment for people who answer cell phones in the movie theater?
A proper punishment would be forcing them to continue talking nonsense all through the movie. Their bills cost at the end of the month would compensate us in some way, now if they're rich, the mobilphone must explode while they're answering.
8. Choose a female bodyguard: Ripley from Aliens. Mystique from X-Men. Sarah Connor from Terminator 2. The Bride from Kill Bill. Mace from Strange Days
Ripley, and she can go in tiny knickers while protects my security if she wishes.
9. What's the scariest thing you've ever seen in a movie?
The subliminal flashes of Samara Morgan in "The Ring" (2002)
10. Your favorite genre (excluding comedy and drama) is?
At present, I'd say thriller or fantasy genre.
11. You are given the power to greenlight movies at a major studio for one year. How do you wield this power?
I'd delegate this power function in somebody who works inside the industry and still hates most of its predictable mechanisms, like my colleague blogger (who has tagged me in the survey) Arden. She confronts a lot of cineparaphernalia everyday and would know how to deal with the promising ideas/scripts of the projects.
12. Bonnie or Clyde?
What a question, Clyde, despite of his slight impotence.
13. Who are you tagging to answer this survey?
I'm tagging Emma from All about my movies. I hope she isn't too busy studying.
