Young Irish star
Saoirse Ronan didn't get a role in
THE HOBBIT, but she keeps getting some other ones. Beside playing the lead
in
Andrew Niccol's sf film
THE HOST as a girl whose soul is invaded by an alien, giving her voice in animated flick
JUSTIN AND THE KNIGHT OF VALOUR, and playing a vampire in
Neil Jordan's
BYZANTIUM, she will now also star in
HOW I LIVE NOW. As "Variety" reports she will portray Daisy, a teenage girl from New York City who travels to England to spend the summer with family in the English countryside. When World War II breaks out and insurgents invade, Daisy and a younger girl named Piper must survive alone in the woods as they try to make it to safety. The film will be based on a novel by
Meg Rosoff.
HOLLYWOOD SPY HEADLINES
According to "Variety" yet another film to get its remake is
THE STORY OF BONNIE AND CLYDE, with young and hot
Sean Faris (LIFE AS WE KNOW IT, THE VAMPIRE DIARIES) and
Lindsay Pulsipher (TRUE BLOOD) taking the roles originally played by
Warren Beatty and
Faye Dunaway. The new film aims to explore many aspects of the lives of the Depression era bank robbers that have never been seen on the big screen before.
As you've probably noticed financial crises is all around us, and Hollywood isn't immune to it either. Many projects are suffering cutbacks in their budgets or are being put on hold (ARTHUR & LANCELOT epic and sf AKIRA are the latest to be postponed) and
Vin Diesel's
RIDDICK is also having similar problems. He is really straining his muscles to find enough financing for the third part in his famous sf saga which
will again star
Karl Urban and himself, and he keeps releasing concept art pics in order to raise the interest. The latest one is a really scary concept art of the jackal, one of the beasts Riddick will have to fight against.
After yesterday's trailermania, the only new clip I have for you today is the second trailer for unusual apocalyptic romantic
drama and thriller, everything in the mix,
PERFECT SENSE in which brilliant
Ewan McGregor is, unfortunately, matched with always one-dimensional
Eva Green in the story about two strangers who form a desperate romantic connection and fall in love with each other while their city is facing an apocalyptic epidemic of sensory loss in which people lose sight, smell, hearing... one by one. Will they lose love too, without their senses? The film is directed by
David Mackenzie who worked previously with Ewan on YOUNG ADAM, a film mostly remembered for Ewan sporting his naked willy in at least half of the scenes :)
