"Scarlett Johansson's latest role has just been announced, with the 24-year-old actress making her Broadway debut opposite Liev Schreiber in Arthur Miller’s A View From The Bridge, beginning December 28. But before that Scarlett had three very different roles to play for Dolce & Gabbana's The One trilogy fragrances. There’s “Sexy Scarlett” for The One, and “Classic Scarlett” for L’eau The One both of which she inherited from previous face, Gisele Bundchen, while “Romantic Scarlett” launches the new addition, Rose The One, due to hit counters November 1.“It’s been really exciting to see the whole progression. I love how the story has come into play, catching this woman when she’s alone and having different private moments,” says Scarlett of the campaign on which she collaborated with director Jean-Baptiste Mondino and designers Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana. “Jean-Baptiste and Dolce and Gabbana really celebrate femininity and womanhood. It’s been great to dramatise that part of their vision”. Source: grazia.ninemsn.com.au

Paltrow agrees. “He had died, and it changed the performance”, she says—again, flatly—describing her work on the film with Anthony Hopkins, Jake Gyllenhaal, and Hope Davis. “It was more completed, there was less fear on my part, and it was more full of grief. Some of those scenes were much harder.” In the original, “you kept seeing her attitude,” says Paltrow. But she found it hard to play funny “when someone has just died. It had to be less sarcastic.”

Interview to Chris Weitz

"You mentioned the various styles of performance in the Volturi scene and touched on Kristen Stewart's turn and Michael Sheen's. But how about Dakota Fanning? She hardly says a word and yet her Jane is a pretty disturbing little character…Dakota, she has a relatively small part in terms of the number of lines and the time that she's on screen, but she's so good that she is still magnetic and she's playing this evil, sadistic, horrible creature. I am satisfied with the (whole) scene. I think it's a lot of fun. I do. It looks the way I wanted it to look. I think there are certain shots in it which look like a narrative painting, and that's lovely, and yet there's also a whole bunch of other stuff to it. We've heard that there's as much as 10 minutes of cut footage that could wind up on the New Moon DVD. Was there a scene or even a shot that you were particularly fond of that ultimately got trimmed from the finished film, that pained you to remove?I can't really think of a significant scene that was cut, nor can I think of anything that killed me to cut it. Actually, sometimes I fall in love with specific shots that I hate cutting. There was a shot of Bella when she's just been broken up with and she's lying on her bed. The shot was upside down. She's upside down, and it's just her face upside down, against a sort of a red coverlet. It's a beautiful, beautiful shot, but it wasn't necessary to the telling of the story, and so it went, but I am still in love with that shot". Source: news.popstar.com

Catherine Hardwicke confirms Robert & Kristen relationship

"Twilight director Catherine Hardwicke has confirmed the worst-kept secret in showbiz - Robert Pattinson is dating co-star Kristen Stewart.The actors, who play onscreen lovers in the vampire movie franchise, have repeatedly denied they are more than just friends, but rumours heated up earlier this week when they were pictured holding hands in Paris, France.
Hardwicke, who directed the first film in the franchise, initially warned Pattinson against dating the younger actress when she first cast them to star opposite each other. But she reveals Stewart later decided she had to "give this a go and really try to be with" Pattinson. Hardwicke tells Time magazine, "After I cast him, I told Rob, 'Don't even think about having a romance with her. She's under 18. You will be arrested.'... I didn't have a camera in the hotel room. I cannot say. But in terms of what Kristen told me directly, it didn't happen on the first movie. Nothing crossed the line while on the first film. "I think it took a long time for Kristen to realise, Ok, I've got to give this a go and really try to be with this person".

"Brothers" - Oscar campaign


Brothers Trailer 2 - Official | Release Dec 4, 2009.


"Brothers" Forbidden TV Spot.


"On Sunday night, the military-themed film, which is based on Danish director Susanne Bier’s award-winning 2004 movie “Brodre”, screened for members of the Directors Guild at the DGA Theater on Sunset Boulevard. The next day, the Envelope’s Pete Hammond (who moderated the post-screening discussion with Sheridan) posted an item wondering why no Oscar bloggers were talking about the film -- whereupon Hollywood Elsewhere’s Jeffrey Wells
quickly pointed out that Lionsgate hadn’t screened the film for the folks Hammond was chiding.But the DGA screening has apparently set in motion a string of events that will culminate in next week’s launch of a full-fledged best-picture campaign for the film, and a best-actor push for star Tobey Maguire, who plays a soldier presumed missing in Afghanistan until he returns home to his wife (Natalie Portman) and younger brother (Jake Gyllenhaal).To hear producer Ryan Kavanaugh tell it, the filmmakers proceeded cautiously because of uncertainty about the new landscape for Oscar campaigning. “With the change in Academy policy, we really wanted to let the film speak for itself before we made the decision whether or not to campaign,” he says. “If it got the momentum it needed once we showed it, we would do everything we could to support it as much as we can. And it certainly seemed to get that momentum.”
Between the raves from the DGA (as a group, a fairly accurate Oscar precursor) and positive comments from a few critics who’d seen the film, Sheridan’s camp reportedly decided a full campaign was in order. Lionsgate was in the thick of its campaign for Oscar frontrunner “Precious”, and was said to be surprised that the “Brothers” filmmakers suddenly wanted to shift into Oscar mode as well – but the company quickly agreed to do so.A full slate of screenings begins next week, with Academy-geared television spots to follow.

Lionsgate’s awards website now promotes the film in a wide range of categories including best picture, best director, best actor, supporting actor and actress, screenplay, and song for U2’s “Winter”. The song certainly sounds apt (“The broken and the bruised/The young and the used/The sure and confused/All here”) -- and while Kris Tapley speculates that the track may run afoul of the music branch’s strict rules because it was recorded during the band's "No Line on the Horizon" sessions, Kavanaugh says that it was "without question" written specifically for the film".

"According to pop-culture pundit Pete Hammond, Jim Sheridan, the director of the movie Brothers which is due in theaters December 4, 2009:

...received a tremendous ovation Sunday afternoon when he was introduced for a Q&A after a very well-received Directors Guild of America screening. The free-wheeling director engaged in a refreshingly honest and thoughtful conversation about the film's bumpy journey to being remade".

A six-time Academy Award nominee, Sheridan is best known for his work directing In America and In the Name of the Father. Brothers has a first-rate cast, as well: Toby Maguire as the soldier, Jake Gyllenhaal as his sibling and Natalie Portman as the wife and sister-in-law".
