The BROTHERS BLOOM in theatres October 24th

Summit Entertainment presents “The BROTHERS BLOOM” in theatres October 24th.

A comedy about con brothers from the same director that brought you Brick.

Academy Award winner® Rachel Weisz (The Constant Gardener), Academy Award® winner Adrien Brody (The Pianist), Mark Ruffalo (Zodiac), and Academy Award® nominee Rinko Kikuchi (Babel) star in The Brothers Bloom, a globe-trotting comedy about the last great adventure of the world’s best con men.

Welcome to the world of The Brothers Bloom, where deception is an art and nothing is as it seems. The brothers have perfected the art of swindling fortunes through years of fraternal teamwork. Now they’ve decided to take on one last spectacular job—luring a beautiful and eccentric heiress into an elaborate plot that takes them around the world.

For as long as they can remember, the Brothers Bloom have had only each other to depend on. From their childhood in a long series of gloomy foster homes to their highflying lives as international con artists, Stephen (Mark Ruffalo) and Bloom (Adrien Brody) have shared everything. Stephen brilliantly concocts intricate stories that the brothers live out, but he’s still searching for the perfect con, the one where “everyone gets what they want.” Meanwhile, Bloom yearns for “an unwritten life”—a real adventure, one not dreamed up by his old brother.

Eager to retire, Bloom agrees to take part in one last grand scam. He insinuates himself into the life of Penelope (Rachel Wiesz), a bored, single New Jersey heiress. When a genuine romance begins to blossom between them, he is reluctant to exploit her naiveté, but Penelope has already taken the bait: She impulsively joins Bloom, Stephen and their “associate,” a sexy Japanese explosives expert named Bang Bang (Rinko Kikuchi), on an ocean liner to Greece. Penelope is convinced she’s happened upon the adventure of a lifetime and offers to bankroll a million dollar deal. As the quartet makes their way from Athens to Prague to Mexico to St. Petersburg, Penelope quickly becomes addicted to the illicit thrills. But as Stephen’s elaborate web of deceit pulls tighter, Bloom begins to wonder if his brother has devised the most dangerous con of his life.

Lovely Bones crew hits Queenstown

Source: Stuff.co.nz

The Peter Jackson juggernaut has rolled into Queenstown, with about 100 crew in the South Island resort to film the Wellington director’s latest Hollywood blockbuster, The Lovely Bones.

Production spokesman Matthew Dravitzki, of WingNut Films, confirmed the crew had a week-long shoot of visual-effects elements around the region.

The Lovely Bones, which is based on an Alice Sebold novel, stars Mark Wahlberg, Rachel Weisz and Susan Sarandon.

The production company was tight-lipped about which, if any, of the stars were in Queenstown.

Dravitzki said because much of Jackson’s Oscar-winning The Lord of the Rings trilogy was shot around Queenstown, it was hard not to think about locations for The Hobbit, to be produced by Jackson.

“However, we’re concentrating on The Lovely Bones on this trip.”

The thriller is about a young girl who was raped and murdered, watching from heaven how her death affects her family.

It is expected to be released in the US in October next year.

Department of Conservation Wakatipu area spokesman John Roberts said WingNut Films had a permit to film in several locations but the details were part of a private commercial agreement.

Focus Features acquires epic ‘Agora’

Focus Features International announced at the Cannes Film Festival that it has acquired sales and distribution rights to “Agora,” a historical epic.

The movie is the latest from “The Sea Inside” filmmaker Alejandro Amenabar. It stars British actress Rachel Weisz, who won an Oscar for her work in Focus’ “The Constant Gardener.”

In the new film, she will play the real-life Hypatia of Alexandria, who was the Western world’s first female astronomer and philosopher, the studio said.

“Agora” will also star Max Minghella, Oscar Isaac, Ashraf Barhom, Michael Lonsdale, Rupert Evans and Homayoun Ershadi.

Focus said it will have rights to “Agora” worldwide except for Spain and North America.

Currently in production on location in Malta, “Agora” is set in fourth century Roman Egypt. It is Amenabar’s second English-language feature, following his hit supernatural thriller, “The Others.”

He co-wrote the screenplay for “Agora” with his frequent collaborator Mateo Gil and his longtime producer Fernando Bovaira is producing the film.

“‘Agora’ is going to thrill a worldwide audience,” Focus Features International President Alison Thompson said in a statement. “(We) are delighted to be reunited with Rachel, on this spectacular production from Alejandro and Fernando.”

Changes…

I know it’s never a good thing when a terrible word like changes is written, but trust me I only have good intentions.

1. As some of you noticed the forum has it’s own domain name so English Rose can be found at www.rachelweiszforum.com from now on. All login information and posts are still there, just the location changed.

2. The media section got a new script so now you can view streaming Rachel media and share your own clips and music videos. The media center can be found at media.rachel-weisz.net.

More goodies will be added shortly. If you have a desire for something that we don’t have at the site yet or you have an idea how to improve the site, just leave a comment or mail me.

Happy Birthday Rachel!

Happy Birthday!
