Nicole Kidman Adopts A ‘Little Bee’

10 July 2009 6:00 AM, PDT | From MTV Movies Blog | See recent MTV Movies Blog news

Recently, Nicole Kidman has attracted a lot of criticism for her performances and several box office failures. Even her detractors can’t deny however that she’s willing to take risks, and that she has an eye for intriguing projects.

Kidman’s latest is no exception. Variety reports that she will team up with the BBC to adapt Chris Cleave’s novel, “Little Bee.” Kidman will star and produce the film under her Blossom Films shingle, and Shawn Slovo (”A World Apart”) will pen the screenplay.

The story focuses on a Nigerian orphan named Little Bee who encounters an affluent British couple after they wander outside the protected borders of their vacation resort. Cleave’s novel received stellar reviews, but publishers and reviewers have attempted to keep the plot under a veil of secrecy.

The entire story seems to hinge on some terrifying event which “happens on the beach.” The

Brandon Camp Has Some Family Secrets

29 June 2009 8:47 AM, PDT | From cinemablend.com | See recent Cinema Blend news

Brad Epstein previously produced Dan in Real Life, a comedy about a family gathering where adult children learn secrets about each other. Now he's going in a totally different direction with Relativity, a comedy about a family gathering where, uh, adult children... Ok, Ok, it basically sounds like the same thing. Relativity, a script by Peter A. Craig, is going forward regardless of its similarities to Dan in Real Life, with Brandon Camp now onboard to direct. According to Variety he made his feature debut with the upcoming Jennifer Aniston-Aaron Eckhart dramedy Love Happens, which I guess must be decent if the guy is already getting another job. Oh, and can I spoil you the secret that happens in this variation on the family comedy? They're all adopted! Har har har. I make fun of this movie only because I will in all likelihood see it, and probably

This Week in Trailers: 'G.I. Joe,' 'Whiteout,' '2012'

21 June 2009 4:11 AM, PDT | From GetTheBigPicture.net | See recent Get The Big Picture news

This week's selection of trailers really runs the gamut, and I'll be the first to admit that we didn't even get to all of them. Still, I liked three of the seven very much and was Ok with two more.

That's a pretty good success rate, really. Trailers are often at least as formulaic as the movies they represent, or are supposed to represent, at any rate. We've got the last potential summer blockbuster, a big ticket item for later in the year, a dark comedy, an absurd comedy, a murder in Antarctica, some gawdawful Jennifer Aniston movie, and even a remixed trailer. Check 'em out:

The latest and most revealing trailer for G.I. Joe

Aniston sullies Aaron Eckhart's fine career with something called Love Happens

Trailer radar: Jennifer Aniston in 'Love Happens'

18 June 2009 12:55 PM, PDT | From screeninglog.com | See recent screeninglog news

Aaron Eckhart and Jennifer Aniston go all romantic in Brandon Camp's upcoming drama "Love Happens," which is scheduled to open in theaters Sept. 18, 2009.

In the film, Eckhart plays a self-help guru who travels to Seattle for a business trip and falls in love with a woman (Aniston) who will eventually help him confront the dark sides of his life.

First trailer for the flick has popped up online, and you can check it out after the jump. To be honest, I feel Aniston and Eckhart may indeed be capable of pulling off a solid onscreen chemistry in this thing.

Martin Sheen, Judy Greer, Dan Fogler and Sasha Alexander co-star. Camp wrote the script with Mike Thompson.

How does a film with gorgeous, talented stars like Aniston and Aaron Eckhart come off so sad and dour? Sure, he plays a widower and there are lots of shots of Seattle gloom, but it's not like Angelina Jolie's in it, too. Despite the downbeat tone, these two have great jobs, awesome hair and appropriately wacky colleagues. So come on, give us a montage of Aniston trying on outfits or Eckhart getting misguided love advice from a kindly neighborhood mensch.

Aniston and Eckhart

18 June 2009 2:20 AM, PDT | From JoBlo.com | See recent JoBlo news

I think the best thing I can say about Love Happens, the new romantic comedy starring Jennifer Aniston and Aaron Eckhart, is that is starts two reasonably attractive people. I won't even get started about the worst things I can say about Love Happens because we're supposed to keep these articles relatively short. I've stared at this screen for about five minutes trying to come up with anything to say about this and I've just got nothing. This film is the opposite of inspiration. The...

Trailer and Poster Prove Love Happens

17 June 2009 8:33 PM, PDT | From www.canmag.com | See recent CanMag news

Though we don't have much of an official synopsis for Love Happens just yet, Universal Pictures is far enough along for an MPAA rating, a poster and a trailer. The interesting part about this romantic drama is the cast.

Jennifer Aniston. Sounds about right.

Aaron Eckhart. He's done the genre before.

Dan Fogler. Wha?

Jennifer Aniston and Aaron Eckhart in Love Happens

17 June 2009 4:52 PM, PDT | From firstshowing.net | See recent FirstShowing.net news

Sometimes when you least expect it... You should be able to tell from that photo and the title of this, Love Happens, that it's a chic flick, or at least a romance. Universal has debuted the first trailer on Yahoo today for this delightful little romantic drama starring Jennifer Aniston and Aaron Eckhart. I'm a sucker for the occasional tearjerker like this and this time they really got me. I don't expect this to be one of the best romances of this decade, but there's something about the painfully sad look on Eckhart's face and the shyness of Aniston's character that got me. This obviously isn't for everyone, but I'm looking forward to it. Watch the first trailer for Love Happens: [flv:http://media2.firstshowing.net/firstshowing/love-happens-trailer.flv http://media2.firstshowing.net/firstshowing/love-happens-trailer.jpg 596 322] You can also watch the first trailer for Love Happens in High Definition on Yahoo A romantic drama about a widower (Aaron Eckhart) whose book about coping with

Love Happens Trailer And Images

17 June 2009 3:31 PM, PDT | From The Cinema Post | See recent The Cinema Post news

What is now becoming a regular term for us when we sift through the various trailers of upcoming releases, “It doesn’t look terrible” is about the highest form of flattery a trailer like “Love Happens” could invoke from us. And it’s true. It doesn’t look terrible, and Aaron Eckhart and Jennifer Aniston seem to have actual chemistry in their scenes together. Combine that with some pretty cinematography and… Aaron Eckhart, for whom this flick should be his most attention grabbing since a brilliant turn in Christopher Nolan’s “The Dark Knight” opposite Heath Ledger and Christian Bale, and “Love Happens” could be a pretty decent outing.

The plot involves a a self-help author (Eckhart) who arrives in Seattle to teach a sold-out seminar, and along the way ‘he unexpectedly meets the one person who might finally be able to help him help himself’ (Aniston).

Ugh...The Trailer for 'Love Happens' is Miserable

17 June 2009 3:15 PM, PDT | From GetTheBigPicture.net | See recent Get The Big Picture news

Oh wow, this looks like a fake trailer from a movie that skewers how unoriginal and formulaic Hollywood has become. From the title to the casting to the steadfast reliance on The Quirky Friend to the schmaltzy pop song used to drive the emotion home...this is Love Happens.

I like Aaron Eckhart, and he deserves better. Maybe he'll get a superhero franchise or something. But between this and No Reservations, he has had bad luck lately with the chick flicks. Jennifer Aniston, on the other hand, I don't have much use for. She's really, really average, and so are most of her movies. Judy Greer, as she often does, plays The Quirky Friend.

I'd set up the story, but I think it's better if you just revel in its complete mediocrity with what you already know. Enjoy...if you can.

Trailer: Aniston And Eckhart Are Unintentionally Hilarious In Love Happens

17 June 2009 2:57 PM, PDT | From cinemablend.com | See recent Cinema Blend news

Love Happens is another movie about unrealistic people who live unrealistic lives and have too cool jobs which they can ignore while they spend all their time pursuing true love. You.d think the self-help guru would be dead as a character after The Love Guru but nope, he rears his ugly head here as Aaron Eckhart plays a motivational speaker and author trying to meet cute the hell out of a florist/caterer/hot chick played by Jennifer Aniston. I dare you to watch this trailer without laughing. Not because it.s trying to be funny but because it.s just that ridiculous. I held out until the shot of Aaron Eckhart running through the forest, for love of course, before I started to cackle. I can.t wait to see this. Bruno you have no chance. Jennifer Aniston has the funniest movie of the year. Watch the first

Thomas Haden Church Joins John Carter of Mars?

14 June 2009 10:33 AM, PDT | From ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news

It’s just your average Marvel character party this week. Sandman, Gambit and Silver Fox who were featured in Spider-Man 3 and X-Men Origins: Wolverine respectively will probably be hanging out on Mars come November.

It appears that Thomas Haden Church will likely be playing a part in John Carter of Mars, the upcoming film adaptation of Edgar Rice Burroughs’ classic series of science fiction novels. If confirmed, Church will be joining Taylor Kitsch and Lynn Collins who were just announced to be playing the lead roles in the movie.

 

According to Thomas Haden Church in a video interview with Reel Talk, he had this to say in response to a question about picking and choosing projects back and forth between dramatic roles and comedic ones:

“I’m probably going to do a huge science fiction drama at Disney called ‘John Carter of Mars’ and that’s a very dramatic role”

Sounds good to me.

What better way to get right back into “The Dark Knight” this year than to celebrate the June 13th Cable Premier on HBO of Christopher Nolan’s 2008 sequel to “Batman Begins”. The film starred the late Heath Ledger, who won a Best Supporting Actor Oscar this year, Christian Bale, Aaron Eckhart, Gary Oldman, Michael Caine, Maggie Gyllenhaal, and Morgan Freeman.

Check out the two promos below, which are very appropriately set against ‘Where Is My Mind?’ by The Pixies.
