"The Private Lives of Pippa Lee" trailer gives a glimpse of its gay aunts

26 October 2009 12:00 PM, PDT | AfterEllen.com | See recent AfterEllen.com news »

I can't wait for the end of November to roll around so I can finally see The Private Lives of Pippa Lee. Writer/director Rebecca Miller's new film (based on her own novel of the same name) is about a woman named Pippa (Robin Wright Penn) who is having, as she says in the trailer, "a quiet nervous breakdown."

Blake Lively plays the young Pippa, who runs away from her pill-popping mom (Maria Bello) and ends up in New York with her lesbian aunt Trish (Robin Weigert) and her lover, Kit (Julianne Moore).

Check out the trailer for a minute and see how stereotypically lesbian Julianne's hair looks:

Kit is a dominatrix/photographer who gets Pippa to pose for her in some S&M-type situations. This is just one of the "lives" Pippa has lived and begins to revisit in her mind in the movie.

Trailer - 'The Private Lives of Pippa Lee'

21 September 2009 1:07 AM, PDT | GetTheBigPicture.net | See recent Get The Big Picture news »

Here are few factoids about The Private Lives of Pippa Lee writer-director Rebecca Miller: She's the daughter or Arthur Miller, the legendary playwright, she's the wife of Daniel Day-Lewis, and in addition to doing some acting in her day, Pippa Lee is based on her own novel.

Pippa Lee is an examination of a life of a woman who feels as though her life still has a lot left to it. Robin Wright Penn reflects on her younger years (in which she looked exactly like Blake Lively) and her marriage to a much older Alan Arkin. Now that's a strange pairing. But then she meets a guy her own age (Keanu) and starts wondering if it's time for a change. Or maybe she's just losing her marbles.

You'll also see Winona Ryder, Maria Bello (briefly), and Monica Bellucci in this trailer. The film played at Toronto earlier this month »

With The Private Lives of Pippa Lee, author and director Rebecca Miller adapts her own novel for the big screen. The movie stars Robin Wright-Penn as the title character, a woman dealing with the changing years, and changing loves, of her life. Surprisingly funny while still being real, The Private Lives of Pippa Lee gave actors Wright Penn and Keanu Reeves a unique challenge -- working with a novelist, screenwriter »

I'll Take Three Trailers that Start with the Letter 'P' Alex

17 September 2009 11:50 AM, PDT | Rope of Silicon | See recent Rope Of Silicon news »

Three new trailers arrived yesterday and while I am fudging the facts a little bit by saying they all three start with the letter "P" I don't think you'll be chopping my head off as a result. The first is a Nsfw teaser trailer for the Johnn Travolta and Jonathan Rhys Meyers action thriller From Paris with Love (2/5/10) directed by Taken helmer Pierre Morel. From Paris with Love Next we have the second trailer for the Logan Lerman film with a really long name Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightning Thief (2/12/10), which centers on Poseidon's 12-year-old half-human son (Lerman), who embarks on a quest across modern-day America to save his mother, return Zeus' stolen lightning bolt and prevent a deadly war between the gods. Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightning Thief Finally, we have the Robin Wright Penn feature The Private Lives of Pippa Lee (10/23/09) directed by Daniel Day-Lewis's wife Rebecca Miller. »

Toronto Notebook: Of Keanu and Karaoke

16 September 2009 4:44 PM, PDT | E! Online | See recent E! Online news »

Some stars are clearing out of the Toronto Film Festival midway through, but there's still plenty of films and action left, from heartful to ho-hum to simply weird. Speaking of which, look—Keanu Reeves! And a two-time Oscar nominee going nuts in a karaoke bar! Hometown hero Keanu walked the red carpet Tuesday night for the premiere of The Private Lives of Pippa Lee, which stars Robin Wright Penn as a married woman in crisis (hmmm). Surprisingly, the film's all-star cast (including Winona Ryder, Monica Bellucci, Julianne Moore and Blake Lively) let Reeves, Wright Penn and writer-director Rebecca Miller represent them all at the premiere and afterparty at the posh Le Germain... »

Toronto's Celebration of Women Filmmakers

15 September 2009 1:59 PM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »

Besides offering a smackdown of corporate culture, this year's Toronto Film Festival also offers an impressive number of films by women. A partial list includes Bright Star by Jane Campion, An Education by Lone Scherfig, Vision by Margarethe von Trotta, The Vintner's Luck by Niki Caro, and The Private Lives of Pippa Lee by Rebecca Miller. Already, there's Oscar buzz surrounding Campion's film, as well as Education star Carey Mulligan. My favorite from women filmmakers so far is Campion's Bright Star, a cinematic tone poem about the love between poet John Keats (Ben Whishaw) and girl next door Fanny Brawne (Abby Cornish). The film's visuals and sensibility are so exquisite, they flirt with the sublime. And though a period piece, Star bears no trace of Merchant Ivory or Masterpiece Theater. Campion has conceived the film as... »

James McAvoy and Robin Wright Penn In “The Conspirator”

15 September 2009 1:43 PM, PDT | Filmofilia | See recent Filmofilia news »

James McAvoy and Robin Wright Penn will pair up for Oscar Award winner Robert Redford-directed historical drama “The Conspirator“.

The period drama is based on true events following the assassination of Us President Abraham Lincoln. The script for the movie is written by James Solomon.

Wright Penn is due to play Mary Surratt, the only woman who was charged with conspiring to kill the president in April 1865 and McAvoy will take on the role of young way hero Frederick Aiken, an idealistic young war hero who reluctantly defends the woman.

The duo will start filming the James Solomon script in October.

For several years, Steven Spielberg has been trying to launch his major Lincoln opus, but his project was postponed recently by budget and location problems. But he’s not giving up.

“We are very happy that Redford will be doing this Lincoln movie. It is completely different from »

There’s a plethora of women directors here in Toronto, as Michael Cieply points out. Of course there are far more movies directed by men from all around the world. Let’s be glad that there are more women directors than usual, from Denmark’s Lone Scherfig (An Education) and New Zealand’s Jane Campion (Bright Star) and Niki Caro (The Vintner’s Luck) to Americans Karyn Kusama (Jennifer’s Body) and Rebecca Miller (The Private Lives … »

Robin Wright Penn Leads Stellar Cast In "Pippa Lee"

10 September 2009 7:03 AM, PDT | icelebz.com | See recent iCelebz news »

Robin Wright Penn leads a formidable cast in the upcoming drama film "The Private Lives of Pippa Lee," based on the novel of the same title by Rebecca Miller.

The film, executive produced by Brad Pitt, follows Pippa (Penn) as she runs away from her complacent father and neurotic mother and seeks refuge with her aunt in New York. Falling under her aunt's girlfriend's influence, she rapidly descends into an underworld of illegal drugs and promiscuous sex until she gets rescued by a much older publisher marries her.

Her happy ending unfortunately doesn't end there. After living a comfortable life with her husband and their children, she is forced to sell their apartment and settle in a retirement community, where she has indulged in an affair with her neighbor's emotionally damaged son.

The stellar cast includes Keanu Reeves, Julianne Moore, Mike Bender, Robin Weigert, Maria Bello, Blake Lively, Monica Bellucci, »

Brand New “Private Lives of Pippa Lee” Poster

22 August 2009 1:34 PM, PDT | Filmofilia | See recent Filmofilia news »

Check out a brand new poster for Rebecca Miller’s movie “The Private Lives of Pippa Lee” screened at the 59th Berlin International Film Festival as one of the out of competition films. The movie is adapted from writer-director Rebecca Miller’s novel of the same name.

From all outward appearances, Pippa Lee (Robin Wright Penn) leads a charmed existence. She is the devoted wife of an accomplished publisher (Alan Arkin) thirty years her senior, the proud mother of two grown children, and a trusted friend and confidant to all who cross her path. But as Pippa dutifully follows her husband to a new life in a staid Connecticut retirement community, her idyllic world and the persona she has built over the course of her marriage will be put to the ultimate test.

In truth, looks are deceiving, and this picture-perfect woman has seen more than her fair share of turmoil in her youth. »
