15 May 2013 8:43 AM, PDT | Digital Spy | See recent Digital Spy - Movie News news »
Two images from Miss Julie have been released.
Jessica Chastain stars in Liv Ullmann's period drama as the daughter of a wealthy landowner, whose flirtation with her father's valet (Colin Farrell) sets in motion a series of tragic events.
The images were released by Screen Daily.
Samantha Morton also stars in the film, which was adapted from August Strindberg's classic play of the same name, and relocates the action from Sweden to Northern Ireland.
Miss Julie is currently filming, and is set for release in early 2014.
Chastain will soon star in Guillermo del Toro's Crimson Peak alongside Benedict Cumberbatch.

First Images Of Jessica Chastain & Colin Farrell In Liv Ullman's 'Miss Julie'
15 May 2013 6:25 AM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
After two Oscar nominations in a row, and one of the best performances of the decade so far in "Zero Dark Thirty," all eyes have been on what Jessica Chastain would do next. While the actress has lined up some major projects -- teaming with Guillermo del Toro on "Crimson Peak" and Christopher Nolan on "Interstellar" -- the star's first move was to do something lower key; an adaptation of August Strindberg's seminal play of sexual politics and class, "Miss Julie." Directed by the great Liv Ullman, the film will see Chastain in the title role, the daughter of a wealthy landowner who seduces the valet (Colin Farrell), to the dismay of his lover (Samantha Morton). It's a great play with a great cast and a perfectly suited director, and with production underway in Northern Ireland (where the film will now be set), Screen Daily have the first images from the project. »

Good afternoon!
Happy birthday to Lena Dunham and Samantha Morton!
The New York Times wrote a great article about the brilliance of Grey’s Anatomy creator Shonda Rhimes. The piece, "Network TV Is Broken. So How Does Shonda Rhimes Keep Making Hits?", starts out with this stellar quote from Rhimes (to the Scandal writing staff), “I love that the gay White House chief of staff is threatening to pretend the first lady is a closeted lesbian, it is so wrong. In the best way.”

The Dci Banks and Fast Girls star on her televisual habits, from Broadchurch to Sex And The City
Unmissable show?
I'm really into Broadchurch at the moment: brilliant story, strong cast, keeps you gripped each week. It feels slightly different from the usual crime-thriller, murder-mystery thing. There's something unique about it; it feels quite epic.
Box set?
I always still pull out my box sets of Sex And The City. I've got all six seasons. Publicly, I'd like to say Carrie's my favourite character, but really it's Samantha.
Bring back ...
Friends. I'd love a reunion episode. I can always rewatch old episodes and still crack up. The way they worked together was something really special. Some of them are superstars now and some aren't, though, so they'd have to let go and have fun. Take the mickey out of each other a little bit.

"Kneel Before Zod!"

poll by twiigs.com
Man of Steel is just 62 days away.
Do you think this'll be a big year for Michael Shannon what with General Zod and The Iceman hitting theaters soon and possibly the creepy thriller The Harvest (with Samantha Morton!!!) later in the year? I know that actors generally become far more famous (at least visually) when they're submerged in CGI for blockbusters (see also: Tilda Swinton's Narnia run) but to me Michael Shannon will always be that crazy naked guy with a thing for aphids.

Nottingham fame academy behind success of BBC hit show The Village
6 April 2013 4:13 PM, PDT | The Guardian - TV News | See recent The Guardian - TV News news »
Many of the talented child actors in The Village learned their craft at the Television Workshop, which doesn't have the kudos of the big London stage schools but is enjoying a golden moment
For years, pupils from well-known London stage schools have bagged many of the meatiest television roles for children. Now boys and girls from a low-key Saturday-morning acting workshop in Nottingham are redressing the balance.
When the second episode of The Village is screened tonight on BBC1, it will be watched with particular interest by many in Nottingham and the east Midlands. Alongside the stars – Maxine Peake, John Simm and Juliet Stevenson – in this grand epic about a century of rural life, the cast includes five members of the area's unofficial fame academy, the Television Workshop.
Aged eight to 19, they are headed by Bill Jones, 12, who in his first TV role plays Bert Middleton, a bullied and poverty-stricken farmer's son. »

Early 2014 Oscar Predictions: First Best Actress Line-Up
14 March 2013 9:56 AM, PDT | Rope of Silicon | See recent Rope Of Silicon news »
It seems wrong to only come to the table with 17 Best Actress contenders for the 2014 Oscars when just yesterday I had a list of 34 potential contenders for Best Actor. But I don't think I'm reporting breaking news when I say there aren't nearly the number of quality leading roles for women and if we go by the numbers here it would seem there are 50% fewer quality leading roles... that almost seems high to me. Of course, some of you will look at my list and say, "But what about Jessica Chastain in Disappearance of Eleanor Rigby: His and Hers and Elizabeth Olsen in Therese?" Well, Disappearance of Eleanor Rigby is two films, one told from her perspective and the other from his (James McAvoy). I think that pretty much ruins the chances for a nom there. And Olsen is going to run into trouble with a) the film doesn't »

13 March 2013 10:34 AM, PDT | Indiewire | See recent Indiewire news »
The Palm Beach International Film Festival (Pbiff) announced their 2013 lineup today which includes 26 world premiers and 8 U.S. premieres. The festival runs from April 4-11 and will kick off with the screening of "Decoding Annie Parker," a film by Steven Bernstein. The film stars Maggie Grace, Academy Award-winner Helen Hunt, Samantha Morton (as Annie Parker), Rashida Jones and Aaron Paul. "Decoding Annie Parker" is based on a true story and spans 15 years in the lives of two women, Anne Parker and geneticist, Mary Claire King. Parker's life is devastated by a rare illness as those around her start to fall away when impacted by the complications of a ill-riddled life. Mary Claire King is a brilliant geneticist who believes there is a genetic link to the type of cancer that afflicts people like Anne, but few share her view. Their lives are intertwined in this story about bravery amidst trials. »

Will You See This Movie? 'Wild Things' Director Returns to Horror Roots with Michael Shannon and Samantha Morton
4 February 2013 9:48 AM, PST | Indiewire | See recent Indiewire news »
John McNaugton's last feature-length film was 1998's "Wild Things." In the fifteen years since, he's seen his sordid pot boiler starring Neve Campbell, Kevin Bacon and Matt Dillon achieve cult status that led to a direct-to-video sequel. In "The Harvest," Michael Shannon ("Take Shelter," "Revolutionary Road") and Samantha Morton ("The Messenger," "In America") star as a professional couple married with a sick teenage son (Charlie Tahan) and living in a secluded environment. As their son grows closer to a teenage neighbor (Natasha Calis) who just moved in to the area, the relationship between the boy and his caring, carefully protective mother becomes fraught. Indiewire caught up with McNaughton on the set of the film earlier this month. "My first impressions of the script were that it was a really compelling story and that it was really creepy, really dark," McNaughton »

All of the week's hot casting news in one fell swoop ...
• Seth MacFarlane has scored quite the cowgirl! The "Ted" funnyman has rounded up the gorgeous (and quite funny herself) Charlize Theron to star in his new film, "A Million Ways to Die in the West," a self-described "Blazing Saddles"-type comedy about a sheepish farmer who chickens out of a gunfight and sees his girlfriend leave him. [Heat Vision]
• Colin Farrell and Oscar nominee Jessica Chastain are going classical with "Miss Julie," director Liv Ullmann's take on August Strindberg's 19th-century stage play about the sexually-charged battle of wills between a wealthy socialite and one of her head servants, with the servant's fiancee popping up every now and then to make things even more interesting. Samantha Morton is also set to star. [The Hollywood Reporter]

Casting Couch: Tom Hardy To Try Russian Accent in ‘Child 44,’ Charlize Theron Might Star in New Seth MacFarlane Joint, and More
31 January 2013 4:00 PM, PST | FilmSchoolRejects.com | See recent FilmSchoolRejects news »
What is Casting Couch? It’s the casting news roundup that’s bursting at the seams after Hollywood had a very gabby twenty-four hours. Dig in. Tom Hardy: quite simply, he’s awesome. But can he do a Russian accent? We’re likely to find out now that he’s signed up to co-star alongside the also awesome Noomi Rapace in a new film called Child 44. Deadline reports that this one is about a Soviet war hero who uncovers a mass murder and is suddenly faced with doubts about the country he’s spent his life believing in and fighting for. Michael R. Roskam will be directing the film, which is an adaptation of the first in a trilogy of Tom Rob Smith novels. So, if you like bleak Soviet Union-set murder stories, you might be getting sequels!

After breaking out in a big way in 2011, Jessica Chastain continued her string of impressive performances with a second Oscar nomination for her work in Zero Dark Thirty last year. She's currently on stage starring in a production of a play called The Heiress, but Variety reports that the actress will next star in a film adaptation of a different play, August Strindberg's battle of the sexes piece Miss Julie. Colin Farrell plays the male lead, and Samantha Morton (John Carter, Cosmopolis) has signed on to co-star. Liv Ullmann - an actress, writer, and director who rose to fame working with Ingmar Bergman - will direct. Set in the late 1800s on the estate of a wealthy Swedish Count, the play follows the Count's daughter (Chastain) as she escapes her social expectations and spends the night dancing with the servants at their yearly party. She's drawn to a well-mannered »

After Swedish filmmaker Alf Sjoberg’s visually innovative, Cannes Grand Prix-winning adaptation released in 1951, Ingmar Bergman’s muse Liv Ullmann will next direct an adaptation of August Strindberg‘s battle-of-the-sexes play Miss Julie that will star Jessica Chastain and Colin Farrell.

Chastain, who is up for an Academy Award for the role in Zero Dark Thirty can be currently seen in the successful horror film Mama.
The Irish Film Board has announced Farrell’s nomination for a Best Actor award for his role in Seven Psychopaths. Irish superstar is currently filming A Winter’s Tale for Warner Bros. and his other upcoming projects include Saving Mr. Banks and Dead Man Down with Noomi Rapace. »

Theron for MacFarlane's Next, Rapace and Hardy Join Thriller and Duncan Jones Wages 'Warcraft'

1.) Tom Hardy and Noomi Rapace are in talks to star in the thriller Child 44, an adaptation of the Tom Rob Smith novel from Safe House helmer Daniel Espinosa. The project is a Scott Free production, and a quick search through the archives tells me Ridley Scott was attached to direct it himself back in 2007. Hardy would play a disgraced intelligence officer investigating a series of child murders in Stalin's Soviet Union. Rapace would play his wife, although the pair are first set to star together in Animal Rescue for Bullhead director Michael Roskam. The Wrap 2.) Bradley Cooper is already in discussions to reunite with The Place Beyond the Pines director Derek Cianfrance on the "culinary comedy" Chef, which could also mark the English-language debut of The Intouchables star Omar Sy.

Jessica Chastain: can't stop, won't stop.
The perma-busy actress, onscreen now in both "Zero Dark Thirty" and "Mama," has signed up to star in Liv Ullmann's upcoming adaptation of "Miss Julie," the 1888 play written by August Strindberg. According to Variety, Colin Farrell and Samantha Morton have also signed up for roles.
Set in 1874, Strindberg's play focuses on the title Miss Julie (Chastain), who breaks away from her upstairs life by spending time with the servants during a summertime party. There, she meets an older servant named Jean, who changes her life. No word yet on who would play Jean, but Farrell seems too young for the role; he's only one year older than Chastain, and Jean remembers Miss Julie from when she was a child. "Miss Julie" was previously adapted by Mike Figgis in 1999 with Saffron Burrows and Peter Mullan in the lead roles.
