More Runaways Pics Surface

2 July 2009 11:06 PM, PDT | From EmpireOnline | See recent EmpireOnline news

We've already caught a glimpse of Kristin Stewart as Joan Jett in the currently filming The Runaways, but a handful of new pics over at Just Jared have captured an all-growed-up Dakota Fanning in costume as keyboardist Cherie Currie.Currie wrote the autobiography that the film is largely based on. After The Runaways she appeared in a few movies (Foxes with Jodie Foster, This is Spinal Tap) and TV shows (Murder, She Wrote, Matlock) and recorded a couple of solo albums. She was once described as "the lost daughter of Iggy Pop and Brigitte Bardot", which kind of explains the look here.She has a twin sister. Will we see Dakota in a dual role?!

We're going to be including the occasional film festival report at the Hollywood Interview in the weeks and months to come, and that includes the coolest places to stay and celebrate at. It doesn't get much cooler than the Hotel Byblos Saint-Tropez and the nightclub Les Cave du Roy, both longtime favorites - to say the least - of the crowd at Cannes. Our correspondent and publicist extraordinaire Nicole Muj reports on the ground from the legendary festival.

Jaime King Is Brigitte Bardot

9 June 2009 2:16 AM, PDT | From cinemablend.com | See recent Cinema Blend news

Fanboys director Kyle Newman is making the jump from Star Wars fetishizing to iconic French fashion models. With the help of our outback riding reader Pat, we uncovered an interview in the Victoria, Australia publication InPress, wherein Newman reveals that he's working on a Brigitte Bardot biopic. Newman says that though the project is currently in development, he's already found his star: his wife Jaime King, who met Newman on Fanboys and married him soon after. King was last seen running from murder in My Bloody Valentine and being utterly wasted in Frank Miller's The Spirit, but don't hold that against her. In fact, forget that person altogether and picture her at her best, oozing sex and seduction as Goldie in Sin City. That's exactly the kind of actress you want playing someone like Bardot. That's perfect casting.

Legally Blonde director set to take on Barbarella remake

3 June 2009 6:23 PM, PDT | From The Geek Files | See recent The Geek Files news

A Remake of the 1968 erotic sci-fi classic Barbarella could be set to blast off once again - with a new director.

Sin City director Robert Rodriguez last month dropped out of the Universal Studios project after spiralling costs would have forced him to shoot overseas, which he wasn't prepared to do.

Entertainment Weekly is now reporting that Robert Luketic could step into the director's chair and is working with producer Dino De Laurentiis, who owns the rights, to develop the film with a different studio.

"It will be a big intergalactic adventure with a sexy twist," a source is quoted as saying.

Luketic helmed 2001 hit comedy Legally Blonde, starring Reese Witherspoon; 2005's Monster in Law starring Jennifer Lopez and original Barbarella actress Jane Fonda; and upcoming The Ugly Truth starring Katherine Heigl and Gerard Butler.

25 May 2009 4:58 AM, PDT | From Hollyscoop.com | See recent HollyScoop news

Her follow-up album will be a duet collaboration with Pete Yorn called Break Up. According to USA Today, the album “chronicles a tempestuous affair” and Pete got the idea for it in a dream. He better not tell Scarlett’s husband Ryan Reynolds that! The album was produced by electronic artist Sunny Levine and is inspired by Serge Gainsbourg's work in the '60s with Brigitte Bardot. Yorn wrote all the...

Robert Rodriguez Barbarella Remake Dead

7 May 2009 12:00 AM, PDT | From toxicshock.tv | See recent toxicshock news

MTV.com is reporting that Robert Rodriguez’s planned remake of the classic cult sci-fi film “Barbarella”, to star Rose McGowan, is officially “dead”. Rodriquez’s official statement says that difficulty in acquiring financing for the project, which several studios balked at, is the reason. Barbarella is a fictional French sci-fi comic book character, created by Jean-Claude Forest. He created the character in 1962, and the stand-alone books caused a scandal, becoming known as the first “adult” comic-books. Barbarella, who Forest modeled on Brigitte Bardot, is a young woman who travels through outer space and has numerous adventures, often involving sex. The 1968 starred Jane Fonda in the title [...]

Bardot Chastises Egyptian Government For 'Cowardly' Pig Cull

1 May 2009 12:05 PM, PDT | From wenn.com | See recent WENN news

Actress and animal rights activist Brigitte Bardot has condemned the Egyptian government's plans to cull thousands of pigs in the country in the wake of the swine flu epidemic.

Egyptian officials announced on Wednesday that they were ordering the cull of 250,000 pigs in the country to help tackle the spread of the disease, which has gripped the whole world.

But French movie icon Bardot is horrified by the move, and has written to Egyptian president Hosni Mubarak in a desperate attempt to halt the mass killings.

She writes, "Taking advantage of the global hysteria over the propagation of 'Mexican' flu, which has nothing to do with animals, in order to launch a campaign to exterminate pigs raised by a destitute section of the population is extremely cowardly."

The health crisis has already claimed the lives of more than 100 people in Mexico City, where the virus is thought to have originated.

Blu-ray Review: The Wages of Fear (Criterion Collection)

21 April 2009 3:09 AM, PDT | From Rope of Silicon | See recent Rope Of Silicon news

I saw Wages of Fear for the first time earlier this year, and approximately three weeks later Criterion announced it for a Blu-ray release and I couldn't have been any more ecstatic. My version of Wages of Fear is the bare bones DVD edition that comes in Criterion's Essential Art House Collection, so on top of now getting the special features from the previously released DVD edition, I was also going to get the film in HD. Hard to complain with that. First off, the film itself sounds incredibly tedious if someone were to describe it to you in short as the majority of the film follows two pair of men as they are transporting two trucks filled with nitroglycerin over a treacherous mountain and jungle route where even the slightest bump could cause the entire truck to explode. Hearing this you would think it is two-and-a-half hours of slow moving trucks,

Brigitte Bardot to Barack Obama: Save The Seals!

21 February 2009 1:03 AM, PST | From Hollyscoop.com | See recent HollyScoop news

Brigitte Bardot has a plea for Barack Obama. In the midst of changing the country around, she’s wondering if he could just take a moment and save the seals! Brigitte is a longtime animal rights activist and has just written an open letter to the president urging him to speak out against seal hunting. Bardot says she has “immense hope” in Obama, "even if I know that he is in demand from all directions and he already has a lot to do in his own country." Couldn’t she give the guy a little space? Yes, animal rights are...

Bardot Asks Obama For Ban On Seal Products

20 February 2009 11:25 AM, PST | From wenn.com | See recent WENN news

Movie icon turned animal-rights-activist Brigitte Bardot has written an open letter to U.S. President Barack Obama, begging him to ban seal products.

Bardot appealed to French leader Nicolas Sarkozy earlier this month, voicing her outrage over laws that permit seal hunting.

And as the leaders of the European Union consider a ban on seal products, Bardot has expressed her "immense hope" that Obama will use his positive ties in Europe to lobby for the ban.

In a statement released on Friday, the French star urged Obama to finally put a stop to the cruel treatment of the animals for the production of meat, oils and pelts, "even if I know that he is in demand from all directions and he already has a lot to do in his own country".

The star linked her appeal to Obama's visit to Canada on Thursday - a country widely criticised for its annual seal hunt.

The U.S. banned Canadian seal products in 1972.

Bardot Asks Sarkozy For Ban On Seal Products

5 February 2009 5:25 PM, PST | From wenn.com | See recent WENN news

Outspoken movie icon Brigitte Bardot has written an open letter to French President Nicolas Sarkozy, urging him to ban seal products. The screen legend-turned-animal rights activist is outraged by laws that permit seal hunting, insisting the creatures are treated cruelly in the production of meat, oils and pelts.

The French star has appealed to the president, voicing her concern, after several European states agreed to hold off on a measure to ban the practice as major seal skin exporters in Canada review their laws on seal hunting.

She writes, "There is no alternative but to ban... the importation, trade, exportation and the transit of any product from seal hunting and without any derogation other than that accorded to the Inuit populations."

Art.party.theater.company Launches With Schooled 2/12-2/15

29 January 2009 4:31 PM, PST | From BroadwayWorld.com | See recent BroadwayWorld.com news

We are proud to announce the inaugural production of art.party.theater.company! This February, Schooled gets right to the heart of Moliere's "The Learned Ladies" by inviting a small audience into a chic New York apartment over Valentine's Day weekend. Inspired by the early films of Brigitte Bardot, French pop music of the 1960s and Parisian Salon culture, Schooled will be plop art: created entirely in a rehearsal room and 'plopped' in a different apartment for each performance. Equal parts voyeuristic salon party and hilarious satire, Schooled is the story of a family's struggle to save themselves, and their home, from their warring ideals.
