David Scearce helped with the script, which is adapted from Christopher Isherwood ’s novel of the same name. The Weinstein Company is bringing A Single Man to limited theaters starting on December 17, 2009.
Colin Firt does an extraordinary job of playing an English professor, whose partner dies suddenly and he tries to live ha typical day, which is a struggle to say the least. Will he find the meaning of life?
One of my cohorts raved about Dorian Gray Teaser Trailer. I don’t find it so ravenous because it’s too jagged. I like the look of the film, but the trailer would be more enjoyable if it was smoother. Colin Firth stars with Ben Barnes. If you are familiar with the classic by Oscar Wilde, you’ll know its a unique story about ”what if I never grew old and all my wickedness never scathes me, but is kept hidden in a portrait, showing my true colors.”
An early promo insert for Dorian Gray is being sent out, providing a sneak peek at what to expect from Oscar Wilde’s infamous immortal protagonist.
Ben Barnes stars in the film which tells the story of a beautiful young man named Dorian who takes Victorian London by storm. He is shown around by the charismatic Henry Wotton (Colin Firth) who introduces him to the hedonistic pleasures of the city.
Gray is then shown a portrait of himself, which he finds stunningly beautiful. In fact, he finds it so beautiful that he pledges he would give anything to stay as he is in the picture – even his soul.
The thriller is set to hit UK cinemas on September 11.
George Orwell’s real-life story from the book “Catalonia” will be directed by Hugh Hudson and adapted by Bob Ellis. Colin Firth and Kevin Spacey are set to star.
“Catalonia” follows his story of he and his wife, Eileen, travels to Barcelona in order to fight Stalinism. Orwell joins the Anarchist brigade and fought in the Spanish Civil War. Ellis’ script will focus on the relationship between Orwell and Georges Kopp, the captivating commander of the brigade.
Variety reports, Hudson is scheduled to begin filming in the first half of 2010 in England, Spain and then Buenos Aires, Montevideo and Uruguay.
The movie is loosely based on the play by Noel Coward about a British aristocrat who falls for an American divorcee, much to the uneasiness of his family. The movie stars Ben Barnes, Jessica Biel, Kristin Scott Thomas and Colin Firth.
Helen Hunt’s directorial debut of Then She Found Me is a spectacular concatenation pivoting around Hunt’s character Alice.
An adoptive daughter of a Jewish faith who is visited by her biological mother, played brilliantly by Bette Midler, at the end of her short-failed marriage and the death of her adoptive mother.
Yet at the same time, Alice meets Colin Firth’s character, Frank, who loves her deeply and the feeling is mutual.
Then she finds out she is pregnant.
Although it appears this film is a slice of life — it’s more than that – the story dissolves the seamless writing into rough cuts of true to life scenes.
Bette Midler stands out. Her character has many layers of half-truths, untruths and incomplete truths. You can’t help but understand her complexity. She takes each scene and rests on the undercurrents between her and Hunt.
This movie is a great beginning for Hunt. It’s billed as a comedy but the humor (or wit) comes from Midler.
Hunt took on a huge task with an ensemble of very talented actors and a story as thick as angst. It’s worth a look if you ask me – Then She Found Me hit the DVD shelves September 1st.
Colin Firth will star opposite Ben Barnes (Prince Caspian) in the new version of the Dorian Gray story for Ealing Studios. Based on the classic Oscar Wilde story, the film will center on Gray (Barnes), a young man who becomes the subject of a painting.
As he descends into a hedonistic lifestyle, his portrait begins to age and morph, but he doesn’t. Firth will play Lord Henry Wotton, the aristocrat who corrupts Gray with his view of the world.
The film has already begun shooting with Oliver Parker in the director’s seat.
Vanity Fair does a great piece on Colin Firth whose recent musical film, Mama Mia!, opened to great reviews and box office score for a movie of its caliber.
You can see Firth as an over-the-hill middle weight, creative director or 17-year-old stage door Johnny.
Colin Firth and Kevin Spacey are set to star.
