“Marion surprised me: she could have played in silent films. She has the simplicity and the openness that I expect from an actress. We shot Big Fish in Alabama – a special place, very crazy. In that kind of environment, it’s very important to work as a clan. The entire crew adored Marion.” -Tim Burton, 'Big Fish' director.

"Cameron considered both Jake Gyllenhaal and Matt Damon for the role of Jake Sully in AVATAR.Matt Damon in "Green Zone" (2010). Jake Gyllenhaal - scan from The Telegraph.
Of course, as we all know by now, the role ultimately went to the then little-known Aussie actor Sam Worthington.MTV News recently sat down with the director and discussed these alternate casting choices. Check out the conversation below.
"But Cameron fell hard for Sam Worthington and in the end, let’s be honest, it really didn’t matter who they cast. Avatar is all about spectacle. It’s the massive, epic scale of Pandora and all of Cameron’s whiz-bang 3D effects which have propelled it to the top of the box office. Mostly though, Cameron just loved Worthington’s accent. He says, “You hear Sam talk and he sounds like Crocodile Dundee — but you hear him in the character and he's utterly and completely the guy.” Start practicing your Croc Dundee impression Matt Damon and maybe you’ll get a part in Avatar 2".

"Even Cameron himself has thought about the prospects of further "Avatar" installments. In an interview with Hero Complex, the director revealed that future sequels could involve Pandora's neighboring moons and even the central planet, known as Polyphemus. "The planet in Pandora's sky is called Polyphemus and it's the primary for a system of moons, just like in our solar system, Jupiter has fifty some moons and they're discovering smaller ones all of the time," said Cameron.Perhaps the fourth and sixth moons will be the subject of the next "Avatar" films. Do these moons contain new sources of unobtanium for Earth's population? Is there yet another indigenous race ready and waiting to protect their land from humanity?" Source: moviesblog.mtv.com

AVC: You have to cut a fair amount to turn a 500-hundred-page book into a film. Was there anything in particular that you were sorry didn’t make it into the film? MC: So many things, so many characters. There are so many more characters in the book. There’s Apurva, Vijay’s sister, who Trent has a thing with, and then Nick has a thing with. There’s Millie Filbert, who’s this girl. She’s kind of mentioned in the movie, but she’s this girl Lefty’s crazy about. I have the extended version of the book, which you can’t really find. It’s hardbound.PD: Did [Youth In Revolt author] C.D. give you it? MC: Yeah, I got it from C.D. Payne. PD: Yeah, he gave me one, too. MC: Under the table. You can buy this thing that’s called “Cut To The Twisp,” and it’s all the stuff he cut out of the book. And it’s just the stuff that’s been cut out. You can read along with the one that’s published and fill in the blanks. Like in “Cut To The Twisp”, it tells you where in the book it would have gone. But then you could buy the uncut version, and in the uncut version, Nick has a full-on relationship with this girl Millie, and Lefty has an operation on his penis that makes it four inches shorter.AVC: C.D. Payne is something of a mysterious figure. MC: Yeah, he was going to be here, but he’s going to meet up with us in Seattle and San Francisco and do some interviews with us. AVC: So he’s not going to be such a mysterious figure anymore? MC: No. He became less mysterious on set. He showed up on set and hung out a bit. But yeah, he was really nice. Really interesting. PD: Yeah, I was picturing what he looked like, and who he was, but he was super-sweet, and a laid-back, really cool person. MC: Very funny, too. AVC: Portia, this is one of your first movies. Was it daunting playing such a large, central part?PD: I don’t think I would have been able to do it without Miguel. I’m just so happy that I’ve met him just as a person, even if I didn’t work with him, because he’s super-talented and so not egotistical about it, and super-intelligent, and kind of collaborative on your level, and hands-on. Just really a warm, amazing person. I remember e-mailing him and sending him “I don’t know how to do this part. What should I do?” Basically I had a few freak-outs. It was intimidating. I mean, this cast is ridiculous.MC: That one freak-out you had— PD: No, don’t! MC: I’m kidding. [Laughs.] PD: He just said to trust your instincts, and honestly, as a rookie, I think that’s the best thing he could have said, because it just put me in a state where I could give it everything I had, without the pressure of feeling like I had to input so much, especially after reading the book. She’s so complex. It was hard being manipulative and nice and likeable at the same time. So he really, really helped me through the process, definitely.AVC: Juno also had some very writerly dialogue. MC: Well, it’s very stylized, yeah. But this has its own tone. And we tried to take a lot of the dialogue from the book. A lot of the dialogue was just written in the same spirit as the book. He’s really amazing with language. It’s kind of what makes the book really stand out, because there’s this 14-year-old kid who—you know, it’s his journals, and it’s really clear that he’s just showing off all the words he knows and kind of stretching his legs. AVC: It seems like they’re also at the age where you want to show off. You want to dazzle the world with your intellect. MC: Yeah, and that’s really the only thing he has going for him. That he reads a lot and knows a lot of words and is really good with language. And he wants to be a writer.AVC: It’s a form of power when you’re feeling powerless at that age. In this, you play Nick and also his alter ego Francois; which was more fun to play? MC: I think they were both equally fun to play. What drew me to the movie was the character of Nick, and how much fun he is. It’s a great character in the book, and the Francois stuff was so much fun to do, too. There was a lot of fun stuff to do. AVC: Francois is probably the biggest deviation from the parts you’ve played in the past. You got to be a bit of a badass. MC: Yeah. Definitely. Yeah. AVC: Did the moustache help? MC: It did. Yeah, definitely, because it’s glued on, and it tightens your mouth up, and it really changes the way you use your face normally.AVC: How tired are you of answering questions about the Arrested Development movie? MC: No, I’m not tired. I never give a different answer, though. I don’t know anything different yet. I think it’s just in development. AVC: It seems like it’s been this whole big drama, because it’s been in development for a while. MC: I guess so. I mean, not really. It’s all kind of pretend drama, I think. It seems like movies normally take a long time to get made. When you focus on it, and you’re waiting for something, it seems to take longer. But I think most movies go through this really arduous process. AVC: I guess there was this idea, online at least, that you were the lone holdout, that you were depriving the world of an Arrested Development movie. Was that strange? MC: A little bit, yeah. I get it, though. People like to do that. It’s fine. AVC: Is there any basis of truth in that? Is it that everyone else has signed a contract, and you are angrily shaking your fist at the world? MC: No, no. I was hesitant, but I’m allowed to be hesitant, I think.AVC: Why do you hate Arrested Development fans? Why do you want to rob them of this movie? MC: No, I want to be in the movie. I do. I don’t want to rob anyone. But I love the show. It’s difficult to just say yes to something when… I just had a fear of it taking away from the show. But I got past that, and I’m glad I did, because I really do want to be a part of the movie. I was just afraid. I think that’s okay". Source: www.avclub.com

BUBBLE BOY is a zany and lighthearted but irreverent road comedy from music video director Blair Hayes. Jake Gyllenhaal (OCTOBER SKY, DONNIE DARKO) stars as Jimmy Livingston, a young man born with an immune deficiency, who is forced to spend his life inside a sterile plastic bubble. His overprotective, fanatical right-wing Christian mother (Swoosie Kurtz) doesn't let him have friends, and the only TV show she lets him watch is LAND OF THE LOST.Jake Gyllenhaal with Marley Shelton in "Bubble Boy" (2001).
The pretty girl next door, Chloe (Marley Shelton - VALENTINE, SUGAR & SPICE, NEVER BEEN KISSED, PLEASANTVILLE) visits him, and the two become friends. Because they can't touch each other through his bubble, they keep their passions in check, but when Chloe goes to Niagara Falls to marry her creepy boyfriend, Jimmy builds a portable bubble and leaves home for the first time to stop her.
"In (Untitled) we meet two sparring artist brothers, Adrian (Adam Goldberg) and Josh (Eion Bailey), as well as the dominatrix-gallerist (Marley Shelton) who comes between them as they get caught up in the same dilemma: is contemporary art for the self, or for the masses? Offscreen, the actor, director, and music-maker Adam Goldberg playfully struggles with a similar catch-22. “There’s something about boldly selling out, which is to me much cleaner than just kind of half-assing it,” he explains. Then again, Goldberg, on the outside, doesn’t seem to be concerned about mainstream draw. Well, maybe. From the Kosha’ blaxploitation street hero in The Hebrew Hammer to the lovelorn designer in Two Days in Paris, the idiosyncratic roles Goldberg chooses hardly make him appealing to the masses. LC Although Marley Shelton’s stiletto-wearing, dominatrix-gallerist character Madeleine is a bit over the top, it feels accurate.AG Yeah, I think she’s great. She’s just slick enough that she’s super-believable as someone who’s that girl, but has this whole other thing going on. And I like that she shows who she really is. She’s this mod-feminist Sarah Lawrence girl, sitting in her apartment, with the Sarah Lawrence T-shirt. And when she starts to cry—those are two of my favorite bits. At the end of the day, well, I’m going back to that September Issue kind of thing. Anna Wintour, you know, what is it really like when she’s alone, in the bathroom, by herself? You don’t really get to see that concept in that movie. To me, that movie is just not too revealing". Source: www.vmagazine.com
