On/Off screen couples

"The Obama family and their Secret Service entourage will spend this week at Blue Heron Farm, a 28.5-acre estate on the island that is rumored to cost anywhere from $35,000 to $50,000 per week.

"There is a very active social scene here," said Bellante-Holand. "There are lots of cultural events and gatherings and fun activities to do with kids that really bring people out."

JAKE GYLLENHAAL and REESE WITHERSPOON
Bellante-Holand said that the island's summer season is in full swing -- last week was the vastly popular Agricultural County Fair that is known to attract celebrities such as Reese Witherspoon and her beau Jake Gyllenhaal, along with Witherspoon's two children. Gyllenhaal and his sister Maggie have been long-time residents of the island".

Nolan and Hardwicke's upcoming movies

Leonardo DiCaprio in "The Departed".Emile Hirsch in "Alpha Dog".

Alison Pill with Emile Hirsch in "Milk".

"Jack and Diane has been "in the works" for a long, long time. Back in 2007, SlashFilm and I both wrote big articles about it because it needed extra financing to get off the ground and into production.
At that time, it was set to star former Juno actresses Ellen Page and Olivia Thirlby. Unfortunately it never went into production, and we've been waiting for an update on it ever since. However, Brendon Connelly of SlashFilm recently discovered that the official website now lists Milk and Scott Pilgrim star Alison Pill in the cast in place of Ellen Page.

Ellen Page is currently working with Christopher Nolan on Inception and is probably busy until the end of the year - so maybe they needed to find a replacement to shoot it right away?
Olivia Thirlby and Michael Angarano in "Snow Angels" (2007).

As far as I know, Olivia Thirlby isn't shooting anything at the moment either. I'll see if I can find anything out, but in the meantime, I'm curious to know how many readers are even interested in hearing more about this indie project anyway?

"After the ridiculous success of Twilight it seemed like director Catherine Hardwicke would finally have some freedom as a director.
The former production designer had two quite good critical hits on her hands with Thirteen and Lords Of Dogtown, but critical hits don’t pay the bills or help guarantee your next project in Hollywood, so she decided to change. The formerly edgy realist went the other way, embracing PG ratings and fantasy. This lead to two big ass commercial hits in The Nativity Story and Twilight. I was hoping she’d return to her earlier realistic and gritty directing style from Thirteen, but I guess those days are over. No, instead Hardwicke is planning to make a film adaptation of Little Red Riding Hood…Ok…interesting, not what I expected, but I’ll go with it. The movie is called The Girl In The Red Riding Hood and the project is being kept pretty secretive at the moment".

Reese Witherspoon as Vanessa Lutz in "Freeway", a twisted take on "Little Red Riding Hood".
"Leonardo DiCaprio is reportedly planning to produce a thriller about Little Red Riding Hood — one that probably has a not-so-sweet ending. The "reimagining" of the old story is said to have a "Gothic twist," and may be based on "oral versions of the tale, which date back to the Middle Ages, [and] are far darker and sometimes involve a werewolf rather than a wolf; the first published version, by Charles Perrault, concludes with Red Riding Hood eaten by the wolf, with no happy ending."

Natalie Portman in "Black Swan"

Jake Gyllenhaal with Natalie Portman in "Brothers" (2009).
Mila Kunis – Photographer Matthew Rolston for Vanity Fair.– "[MORE SPOILERS AHEAD] About the racy scene, Reeves first dropped the bomb writing, "Because in this movie, Natalie Portman and Mila Kunis have sex." He then provided more details on the particular scene, noting that it won't be "just nice sweet innocent sex either" because their love-making part will be an "ecstasy-induced hungry aggressive angry sex."

"Black Swan" centers around the manipulative relationship between a veteran dancer and a rival. A ballerina in one of New York City's top ballet companies, Nina finds herself locked in to a competitive showdown with rival dancer Lilly. With the stakes and twists increasing as the dancers approach a big performance, Nina is not sure whether Lilly is a supernatural apparition or if she is having delusions".
