Jennifer Garner Sticks Close to Seraphina as Violet Finishes Up Her First School Year
25 May 2012 9:38 AM, PDT | Popsugar.com | See recent Popsugar news »
Jennifer Garner gave 3-year-old Seraphina Affleck a piggyback ride into the Brentwood Mart yesterday. The girls picked up a gift and coffee to go and then headed on their way. Later in the day, Jen spent one-on-one time with her eldest daughter, Violet, after school. Jen's been on a break from acting since giving birth to Samuel earlier this year, though she's making her debut on the Internet in a new short film. Jen stars with Alfred Molina in the Youtube feature Serena. Their 12-minute film documents a complicated relationship between a serial liar, played by Garner, and her priest, Molina. Ben Affleck and Jen have a few more months to enjoy time at home with the family, including baby Samuel, before they return to work this Fall. He's starring in and directing the CIA thriller Argo, due out in October, and Jen shares the big screen with Joel Edgerton »

Watch: ‘Serena’ Sees Jennifer Garner Get Sexually Sinful with Alfred Molina’s Priest
23 May 2012 12:00 PM, PDT | FilmSchoolRejects.com | See recent FilmSchoolRejects news »
Why Watch? Impersonating a nun, finding impure uses for her body parts, seducing a man of the cloth – Jennifer Garner is filthy. And sweet. And in love. In Rodrigo Garcia‘s new short, she and Alfred Molina sap every ounce of humanity and drama from the wood of the confessional. It’s a film comprised almost solely of dialogue (with a pristine shot selection just for good measure). There’s a pulpy feel to it – a kind of polite insanity that still feels rooted even in its mythical (and undeniably romantic) setting. Both actors are in solid form here – proof that Garner can do more than what she’s been handed in the past, and although her sweetness is played upon, it never feels exploitative. What will it cost? Only 11 minutes. Skip Work. You’ve Got Time For More Short Films »

Jennifer Garner And Alfred Molina Step Into The Confessional For Serena
23 May 2012 8:52 AM, PDT | WeAreMovieGeeks.com | See recent WeAreMovieGeeks.com news »
Jennifer Garner and Alfred Molina star in Serena, a short film written and directed by Rodrigo Garcia, a co-founder of Wigs along with Jon Avnet and Jake Avnet. Garner plays Serena, a woman who makes a series of shocking confessions to her Priest (Molina).
“Serena,” the first Wigs short film, is premiering now on youtube.com/wigs.
“Jennifer and Alfred were perfect,” remarked Rodrigo Garcia. “They elevated the script and found feeling and laughter where I had not seen it. I wish everything was this easy and fun.”
“Serena” is the first of 10 short films planned for Wigs, and comes on the heels of the channel’s first series, “Jan.” The first six episodes of “Jan,” which stars Caitlin Gerard, Virginia Madsen, and Stephen Moyer, are available on youtube.com/wigs.

Jennifer Garner's Bold New Role
23 May 2012 6:34 AM, PDT | TheInsider.com | See recent The Insider news »
I'm convinced that behind Jennifer Garner's dimples and mega-watt smile lies the beating heart of an Oscar-caliber actress. Something anyone whose heart broke along with Sydney Bristow's knows all-too-well.
Related - Jennifer's Most Revealing Interview, Ever
But since her big screen projects have skewed mostly toward the sunny, the majority of Americans think of her as the Thriller-loving, baby-wanting, ass-kicking actress from 13 Going on 30, Juno or Daredevil.

But a new short film she stars in, alongside Alfred Molina, will remind everyone that there is a tough edge under all that cotton candy. One that is simply begging for the proper showcase. Luckily, Serena (which sees J. Garn playing a priest-lusting lady) gives Jennifer the chance.

Thanks to the internet, you can place yourself right into the conversation with a manic Jennifer Garner and a disconcerted Alfred Molina as they simmer in a tension-filled confessional. You might want to take a few steps back from your screen. Garner and Molina star in Serena, the first short film from the newly launched Wigs YouTube channel. The short, directed by Albert Nobbs helmer Rodrigo Garcia, turns Garner into a serial liar and Molina her beleaguered priest, though the relationship may not be quite so simple. The channel, which was co-founded by Jon Avnet and Garcia, is

Reece Ritchie, Freida Pinto, and Alfred Molina Will Lead ‘Desert Dancer’
18 May 2012 11:45 AM, PDT | The Film Stage | See recent The Film Stage news »
Now there are two dancing-related movies I could easily see myself checking out — brave new world, etc. Following recent casting on the salsa comedy Cuban Fury, Variety reports that Reece Ritchie (The Lovely Bones), Freida Pinto, and Alfred Molina, have come aboard a very different kind of entry into the subgenre: Desert Dancer, a biopic of Iranian performer Afshin Ghaffarian.
Set during the tumultuous protests of Iran’s 2009 election, Desert Dancer follows the efforts of Ghaffarian (Ritchie) to advance his career, even going so far as to “risk his life to fight for his dream to become a dancer.” (This Is Not a Boogie.) Pinto and Molina‘s roles haven’t been expounded upon, though it’s fair to think they’ll appear as his lover and father figure, respectively. Jon Croker (The Woman in Black: Angels of Death) is writing the film for debut director Richard Raymond, who’s also producing through his company, »

Elizabeth Banks Toplines What’S The Matter With Margie?, Alfred Molina and Freida Pinto Star in Desert Dancer, Sean Bean Joins the 4th Reich
18 May 2012 8:04 AM, PDT | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »
Let's start the day with some casting, shall we? Here are the headlines: Elizabeth Banks will topline What's the Matter with Margie?, a dark comedy from Alan Ball. Alfred Molina and Freida Pinto are set to star in Desert Dancer, based on the life of Iranian dancer, Afshin Ghaffarian. Sean Bean will join The 4th Reich, an action-horror film set in World War II. Hit the jump for more on both projects. Variety reports that Banks will play a downtrodden office worker who snaps after years of being overlooked and resorts to murder to solve her problems. Daniel Minahan will direct What's the Matter with Margie?, an original screenplay from Ball. The True Blood creator will also produce alongside Anthony Bregman. Minahan, who has directed a number of episodes of True Blood as well as Game of Thrones, is aiming to start production in Los Angeles early next year. Variety »

Anthony Mackie Joins 'Runner, Runner,' Freida Pinto & Alfred Molina Topline 'Desert Dancer'
18 May 2012 7:30 AM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
With production set to begin next month, “Runner, Runner” is looking to add another rising star to its ranks. Deadline reports that “The Hurt Locker” star is in talks to join the online gambling thriller written by “Rounders” duo Brian Koppelman and David Levien, and directed by “The Lincoln Lawyer” helmer Brad Furman.
Mackie will join a stacked cast that includes Ben Affleck, Justin Timberlake, and “Project X” star Oliver Cooper. It’s been a busy year for Mackie, who has already appeared in the Sam Worthington snoozefest “Man On A Ledge” and will appear in two films opening later this year, “Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter” and “Gangster Squad.” With his profile increasing, he’ll hopefully get a chance to get more lead roles like the one in the ill-fated Paul Greegrass-helmed Jimi Hendrix biopic.

Freida Pinto Kicks Up Her Heels For 'Desert Dancer'

Who wouldn't want to hoof it with Freida Pinto?
The "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" beauty will soon be showing off her dance moves as she signs on to play the female lead in "Desert Dancer," according to Variety.
Alfred Molina and Reece Ritchie are also on board the film that's based on the life of Afshin Ghaffarian. The story is set in Iran, where most forms of dancing are banned, against the backdrop of the 2009 election protests — where, despite the dangers, Ghaffarian (Ritchie) is willing to risk his life to fight for his dream to become a dancer.
"Desert Dancer" is being written by Jon Croker, who's currently hard at work on the sequel to "The Woman in Black." The film marks the directorial debut of Richard Raymond, who previously produced "Heartless," the strange (and wonderful) Machiavellian tale starring Jim Sturgess and Clemence Poesy.

Courteney Cox Calls 'Cougar Town' Move 'A Perfect Fit'
16 May 2012 9:01 AM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
TBS welcomed "Cougar Town," its new star acquisition, Wednesday morning at the TNT/TBS 2012 Upfront presentation.
"Cougar Town" is "the only show that consumes more red wine at the upfronts than you do," TBS executive vice president and head of programming Michael Wright quipped when he introduced the comedy -- which Turner saved from it's not-so-bright future with ABC -- to assembled media and advertisers.
As the show's cast took to the stage, Courteney Cox spoke warmly about "Cougar Town's" move from ABC to TBS. "Everyone at 'Cougar Town' is thrilled to be a part of this new home at TBS. This network is a destination for new comedy and we know that 'Cougar Town' and TBS will be a perfect fit."
The other major development of the upfront presentation was Turner's plan to accelerate original programming to a year-round schedule on both networks.

Kelley and CNN chief medical correspondent Sanjay Gupta, on whose book the project is based. Ving Rhames will star along with Alfred Molina in Monday Mornings, as the series will be called, which is set in a fictional Portland, Or hospital, and follows the lives of doctors as they "push the limits of their abilities and confront their personal and professional failings." The series uses as a backdrop the hospital’s Monday Morbidity and Mortality conference, considered the most secretive meeting in all of medicine, where doctors gather for a confidential review of complications and errors in patient care. »

TNT Picks Up David E. Kelley Hospital Drama

TNT has ordered ten episodes of David E. Kelley's new hospital drama Monday Mornings, the network announced today. The show, which Kelley created with Sanjay Gupta, is set in a Portland, Oregon, hospital and stars Ving Rhames, Bill Irwin, Alfred Molina, Jamie Bamber, and Jennifer Finnigan, among others, and takes its name from the weekly morbidity and mortality conferences.
