Gwyneth Paltrow joins Nicole Kidman in "The Danish Girl"
9 November 2009 7:00 AM, PST | AfterEllen.com | See recent AfterEllen.com news »
Variety is reporting that Gwyneth Paltrow has signed on to star opposite Nicole Kidman in The Danish Girl.
The film is about the first ever post-operative transgender person, Einar Wegener, and her wife, Greta, who stood by her side as she made the transition. Kidman will play Einar, and Paltrow is now set to play Gerda.
As we told you before, Charlize Theron had originally been in talks for the role of Gerda, but had to drop out due to scheduling conflicts. I'm a fan of Gwyneth's work, for the most part — including Shakespeare in Love where she dressed convincingly in drag, and her most recent film, Two Lovers — so I think she'll be great in the role.
The Danish Girl is being directed by Thomas Alfredson, who was behind the amazingly dark and beautiful vampire film, Let the Right One In, and the script is from Lucinda Coxon, adapted »

2010 Best Actress Contenders: is there anyone who actually deserves an Oscar this year?
16 October 2009 12:36 AM, PDT | Hitfix | See recent Hitfix news »
There have been some absolutely amazing years in the race for the Best Actress Oscar. Take 1988 when Jodie Foster's performance in "The Accused" edged out what may have been career turns by Glenn Close in "Dangerous Laisons" and Sigourney Weaver in "Gorillas in the Mist." And you can't overlook one of Meryl Streep's all-time top five with "A Cry in the Dark" that year either. Or, 2002 where Nicole Kidman won for "The Hours," but faced heavy competition from Julianne Moore in "Far From Heaven," Salma Hayek in "Frida," Diane Lane in "Unfaithful" and Renee Zellweger in "Chicago."

If money is power, these actresses are superheroes
14 October 2009 3:00 PM, PDT | AfterEllen.com | See recent AfterEllen.com news »
Forbes’ lists of powerful women usually are fairly predictable, topped (in every sense) by Angelina Jolie.
But last week, Forbes published its annual list that reveals another side to power: Roi. And the top 10 actresses who provide the best return on a film company’s investment may surprise you.
At No. 1 is Australian actress Naomi Watts.
Watts’ most recent movie, The International, was a suspenseful thriller, to be sure, but it was only a modest box office success. Watts, however, gets less than $5 million a film — and earned the studio about $44 for every $1 she was paid on her last three major movies.
Second is Jennifer Connelly.
Although He’s Just Not That Into You was fairly cliché, Imo, the studio convinced its stars to take a pay cut to be in the movie. It made $177 million. Average that with Connelly’s roles in Blood Diamond and The Day the Earth Stood Still »

The Rise of Julianne Moore! (Mixed Media)
17 September 2009 11:59 AM, PDT | PopMatters | See recent PopMatters news »
In 2002, Moore was considered a heavy favorite to win the Oscar for her excellent lead work as Cathy Whitaker in Todd Haynes' Far from Heaven or her equally powerful supporting in Stephen Daldry's The Hours as Laura Brown. Joining a list that includes Emma Thompson and Sigourney Weaver, she went home empty-handed that fateful night. Deja-vu: watch out for her upcoming two-category sweep in 2010: First up is a much-discussed lead turn in Atom Egoyan's Chloe, a sexually-charged drama in which Moore's tony doctor hires an escort (Amanda Seyfried) to bed her husband.

Nicole Kidman to play transsexual
17 September 2009 | Cineman.ch/en | See recent Cineman.ch/en news »
In "The Danish Girl", Nicole Kidman will play the first male-to-female transsexual, in 1931: Danish painter Einar Wegener. Renowned for his modern horror fable "Let the Right One in", Swedish director Tomas Alfredson will direct the Australian actress in the biopic. It will be the third time for Tom Cruise's ex-wife to play a real-life artist: her performance as Virginia Woolf in 2002's "The Hours" earned her an Oscar, and she also played photographer Diane Arbus in 2006's "Fur". »

Nicole Kidman In Sex-Change Drama “The Danish Girl”
16 September 2009 1:55 PM, PDT | Filmofilia | See recent Filmofilia news »
Nicole Kidman will portray 1930s painter in a true-life film titled “The Danish Girl.”
Tomas Alfredson (”Let the Right One In”) will direct the movie about Danish painter Einar Wegener who became the first person to go through a sex-change operation to become a woman.
He underwent several operations in Berlin in 1930 and took the name Lili Elbe. She was thought to be intersexual, with both male and female organs found in her body during surgeries.
Lili Elbe died aged 49 in 1931, after complications following a fifth operation in which doctors attempted to transplant a uterus into her body. Elbe had hoped to become a mother, after accepting a proposal of marriage.
Charlize Theron, who had been attached to play Wegener’s wife, the fashion illustrator Gerda Gottlieb Wegener Porta, has left the production.
Swedish director Alfredson said he planned to shoot “The Danish Girl” before his previously announced John le Carre adaptation, »

Amanda Seyfried and Julianne Moore get dangerously close in "Chloe"
16 September 2009 9:00 AM, PDT | AfterEllen.com | See recent AfterEllen.com news »
Amanda Seyfried might be the talk of the town lately based on her same-sex smooch with Megan Fox in Jennifer's Body (which opens Friday), but the young actress has so much more going on with her career that's worth knowing about. This week she was pulling double duty at the Toronto International Film Festival, repping for both Jennifer's Body and her new film Chloe co-starring Julianne Moore.
In a nutshell, Chloe is a remake of the French film, Nathalie, in which Seyfried plays a prostitute (Chloe) that Moore hires to seduce her husband (Liam Neeson) to see if he is a cheater. Based on reviews from Tiff, it appears that the two women share more than a man.
Vanity Fair writes, "Toronto audiences gripped their elbow rests as Seyfried upped the sapphic ante in Chloe, engaging in a sultry hotel-room romp with Julianne Moore."

Twilight Timeline
6 September 2009 11:42 PM, PDT | PopStar | See recent PopStar news »
Have you ever wondered how The Twilight Saga became a worldwide franchise? Don't think it happened over night because many years of hard work and planning went into making this franchise possible. Take a journey back in time; before Robert Pattinson ruled the world, before we were a society obsessed with vampires and werewolves, and before a little known author named Stephenie Meyer had a dream. We are traveling back to 2003 when the Sars outbreak had the world on high alert and most notable in the United States, U.S. forces seized control of Baghdad, ending the regime of Saddam Hussein. Over in Hollywood, Nicole Kidman won her first Oscar for her portrayal of Virginia Woolf in The Hours, Katie Holmes gets engaged to American Pie star Chris Klein, Reese Witherspoon and Ryan Phillippe become parents for the second time, and it is announced that Friends star Matt LeBlanc will »

Screen Gems Makes a Date With a Beautiful Girl
10 August 2009 5:20 PM, PDT | DreadCentral.com | See recent Dread Central news »
Screen Gems has finally set a date for the Michael Cunningham (The Hours) written film Beautiful Girl. Just don't expect to be turned on by her anytime soon.
According to Box Office Mojo, March 11, 2011, is the date when audiences will be diggin' on this hopefully bloody tale concerning a shy but brainy high school girl who returns for senior year after having slimmed down six dress sizes. She finds herself flirting with the handsome English lit teacher, but the mutual crush turns deadly when the teacher's obsession with the student compels him to exact maniacal revenge on everyone who was cruel to her.
Cunningham has been quoted as saying of the project, "While I was writing about Virginia Wolff, my mind was never far removed from the idea of girls in bikinis being hacked up by guys wearing hockey masks, and I vowed that if I ever had a good idea, »

Michael Cunningham Talks About His Beautiful Girl
5 August 2009 | shocktillyoudrop.com | See recent shocktillyoudrop news »
Beautiful Girl is a new horror film on the way from Screen Gems and writer-director Michael Cunningham. It's an unusual turn for Cunningham who's credits include The Hours . He's also the author of "Specimen Days" and the upcoming "Olympia." EW sat down with Cunningham recently and they got to chatting about Beautiful Girl and why he chose to do this tale of an English teacher who exacts revenge on those who torment a student he has a crush on. "Actually, I've always been a huge fan of horror films," he said. "I've seen all the horror movies. I have no limits when it comes to that. I've seen all the Saw movies. Do you know the writer Amy Hempel? She and I will go to any hack-'em-up movie, the gorier the better. So the genre has... »
Ask the Flying Monkey! (August 3, 2009)

Have a question about gay male entertainment? Ask the Monkey! (Please include your city and state and/or country.)
Q: Are there any movies aimed at younger audiences that portray romance between gay couples? There are actually a lot of parents like myself who want to show their kids a movie with two people of the same sex falling in love in the fun way they show other kids’ movies. -- Marcy, Tacoma, Wa
A: Have you considered Another Gay Sequel: Gays Gone Wild!?
That’s a joke. Seriously. Gays Gone Wild is the raunchiest gay movie I’ve ever seen, and not in a good way.
"This might have been a mistake."
Anyway, I actually love this question. Nothing makes me quite as annoyed as the idea that “gay” is synonymous with “sex” while “heterosexual” is not.
In fact, I love this question so much that I wish I had a better answer. »

Julianne Moore + Annette Bening. Rejoice!
2 July 2009 8:00 AM, PDT | FilmExperience | See recent FilmExperience news »
Lisa Cholodenko is flirting with me*. How else to explain the multi-orgasmic news that the writer/director of High Art, one of my all time favorite lesbian movies, is making another and she's making it with two actresses whom I practically can't worship more than I already do? Yesterday, production supposedly began on The Kids Are All Right which will star Julianne Moore and Annette Bening as lovers who've raised two kids together. Their two teenagers (played by Josh Hutcherson and Alice in Wonderland herself Mia Wasikowska) decide to meet the original sperm donor (Mark Ruffalo).
Psycho, The Hours, Running With Scissors
Both actresses have played lesbians before. Moore re-interpreted Psycho's Lila Crane as a record shop dyke and she definitely didn't want to sleep with her husband in The Hours Come to bed, Laura BrownFor Bening's part she ditched her screen husband for some self-actualizing labia time in Running With Scissors. »

Pulitzer Prize-Winning Author Michael Cunningham Writes Slasher Screenplay?
13 June 2009 9:00 AM, PDT | Slash Film | See recent Slash Film news »
Pulitzer Prize-winning author Michael Cunningham, of the novel The Hours and the feature films Evening and A Home at the End of the World, has taken an unusual career detour into penning a slasher screenplay. Variety reports that Beautiful Girl was born of Cunningham's love of scary genre pieces. He told them: While I was writing about Virginia Wolff, my mind was never far removed from the idea of girls in bikinis being hacked up by guys wearing hockey masks and I vowed that if I ever had a good idea, I would write one of these scary movies. This 'good idea' revolves around a series of revenge killings, executed by an Englisher Lit. teacher obsessed with one of his students. Don't Stand So Close to Me, Mandy Lane? Variety describes the schoolgirl at the heart of the story as "shy but brainy" and notes that she "returns for senior »
