Irish Films Set To Make A Splash At Cannes

Mariana — Wed, 16 May 2012 15:48:58 +0000

The Cannes Film Festival this year is running from May 16th until the 27th, and even though there are no Irish films in competition, we will be well represented in the South of France.

There are reportedly 17 Irish productions looking for distribution at the festival, and top of the pile is the Neil Jordan directed vampire tale, Byzantium. Starring Saoirse Ronan, Gemma Arterton, Sam Riley, Jonny Lee Miller and the excellent young actor Caleb Landry Jones. It shot in Ardmore Studios in Wicklow with a budget of just over €10 million and is beginning to garner heat – with that cast it would be difficult not to. Good to see Jordan going gothic again regardless. Other high profile Irish productions include the already extremely well reviewed Shadow Dancer, starring Clive Owen and Domhnall Gleeson as well as the Kristen Sheridan helmed Dollhouse.

Others are not finished yet and are being sold with names attached as opposed to shopping a finished product – generally the norm at Cannes. Here’s hoping all Irish flicks do well.

Audi Polo Challenge

Mariana — Mon, 14 May 2012 02:41:15 +0000

The British polo season kicked off with a royal win for Princes William and Harry in Ascot, with Hollywood A-listers cheering from the sidelines.

The Princes, who both played on the Audi Quattro team, narrowly beat Audi Ultra, at Coworth Park on Saturday.

More than 200 special guests were invited, including actors Russell Crowe, Gemma Arterton and Tom Hardy.

Former Bond girl Gemma Arterton talked about meeting the royal pair on a previous occasion, saying: “They’re lovely, really lovely. I’m looking forward to seeing them again.”

When asked whether she would consider being the next princess, the actress said she was taken.

Tom Hardy, who is set to star in Dark Knight Rises later this year, admitted the sport left him confused.

“I’m a member of the Prince’s Trust actually, an ambassador for them, so always like to get involved when they’re around. Can’t play polo, don’t understand it, but it’s always nice to come along and have a cup of tea,” he said.

Prince William and Prince Harry open polo season; Gemma Arterton, Pixie Lott, Hofit Golan attend

Mariana — Mon, 14 May 2012 02:25:29 +0000

To kick off the polo season, both Prince William and Prince Harry have played at an Audi Polo Challenge match at Coworth Park at Ascot yesterday.

The princes’ team, named Audi Quattro, won against Audi Ultra, fielded by the principal sponsor.

Actors Gemma Arterton, Russell Crowe and Tom Hardy were present among the guests, as were Kelly Brook, socialite Hofit Golan and singer Pixie Lott.

Arterton notes that she had already met the princes at the Quantum of Solace première, at which she wore a ‘risqué’ Balmain dress, which caught Prince Harry’s attention.

The Audi Polo Challenge has raised over £1·4 million for charity in the last decade.

Jonny Lee Miller Talks Neil Jordan’s “Byzantium”

Mariana — Thu, 03 May 2012 11:32:29 +0000

The name Jonny Lee Miller could very well be becoming synonymous with vampire movies. Miller co-starred in Dracula 2000, is a featured player in the upcoming Dark Shadows redux, and also has Neil Jordan’s Byzantium on the horizon.

In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Miller waxes on about working with both Burton and Jordan and more. Check out the video below.

Early “Byzantium” Artwork Lights Up the Night

Mariana — Thu, 19 Apr 2012 00:59:42 +0000

Production company WestEnd Films has revealed the sales poster for Interview with the Vampire director Neil Jordan’s new horror-thriller Byzantium, starring Gemma Arterton, Saoirse Ronan, Sam Riley, Jonny Lee Miller, Caleb Landry Jones and Danny Mays.

While vampires are most definitely complex creatures of fantasy and have evolved greatly over the years (I’m still rather confused about how we went from Dracula to Twilight), but for the most part the monsters have three defining characteristics: they live forever, they’re evil suckers who drink blood to survive, and they have incredible powers of temptation. Looking at the first poster for Byzantium, and particularly the tagline, the new flick from Interview with the Vampire director Neil Jordan, won’t disappoint in those areas.

The new one sheet for the vampire movie is actually pretty cool. The artwork isn’t dominated by an actor’s face, but rather has its own kind of cool style. It also doesn’t hurt that the achingly beautiful Gemma Arterton looks stunning in a red flowing dress.

Gemma Arterton joins Jean Paul Gaultier for Diet Coke design debut

Mariana — Fri, 13 Apr 2012 21:27:34 +0000

Jean Paul Gaultier launched his hotly anticipated limited edition collection for Diet Coke last night at a starry bash in Paris – with a little help from Brit star Gemma Arterton.

The ‘Night & Day’ bottle collection was inspired by the designer’s iconic catwalk collections.

‘Night’ comes in a corset style reminiscent of Gaultier’s catwalk designs (as modelled by Gemma Arterton), embellished with a lace and fishnet design.

‘Day’ was inspired by the designer’s signature Breton stripes with the red bottle cap resembling a French beret.

Gaultier is releasing a third bottle, called simply ‘Tattoo’ (can you guess what it’ll look like yet?) later this year.

Gemma Arterton looked dressed to frill on the red carpet — pouring her curves into a semi see-through lacy black corset.

The former Bond girl, 26, worked the lingerie look with the strategically patterned bodice that bumped up her cleavage and nipped in her waist.

She teamed the racy garment with a sleek black pencil skirt, kitten heels and nude nails.

Turning to the side as she flashed a smile at the camera, the actress showed off her slender back through the lace-up design.

She also revealed a glimpse of her thighs through a transparent side panel in the figure-hugging skirt.

The British beauty ditched accessories for last night’s Coca-Cola, Diet Coke and Jean Paul Gaultier launch party in Paris — instead she modelled tousled locks, a glowing complexion and bare lips.

Gemma Arterton in Talks to Star in Relativity Thriller-Comedy “Wright Girls”

Mariana — Tue, 10 Apr 2012 18:34:03 +0000

Gemma Arterton is in negotiations to star in The Wright Girls, a dark comedy-thriller from Relativity and Atlas Entertainment.

Andy Fickman is in negotiations to direct.

Inspired by the Japanese movie 2LDK, the story revolves around two young actresses who live together, pretend to be best friends and are co-stars on a successful television show. In reality, they detest each other and go to extreme and violent lengths to do one another in when they end up competing for the same movie role. The role of the other actress has not been cast.

Bert Royal (Easy A) wrote the script.

There were some online rumblings several months ago that Megan Fox was attached, but sources say the actress is not involved with the project.

British actress Arterton is perhaps best known for her work in Clash of the Titans and Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time. Her next big studio project sees her starring opposite Jeremy Renner in Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters.

The novel must be original and you musn’t be a published writer. StudioCanal wants to encourage new writers. They want to adapt and eventually co-produce the best novel in partnerships with small independent production companies from the UK and Italy. Nobody is looking for the new Twilight!

If you think you have a chance, please submit your full name, place of birth, city of residence, resume, synopsis of your novel (they’ll probably receive many submissions that they’ll need to read a synopsis before reading the entire novel), your major inspirations behind the novel, favourite books and authors, what made you want to be a writer, and, finally, a pdf file containing your novel. By submitting your novel, you give you on rights to it, meaning that they’ll belong to the database of StudioCanal now. You may be asked to sign a confidentiality agreement.

Jamie Oliver hosts film screening in Soho

Mariana — Thu, 15 Mar 2012 18:33:21 +0000

Actresses Jodie Whittaker and Gemma Arterton were among the guests at a special screening of Dexter Fletcher’s new film Wild Bill at the Box in Soho last night.

The event was hosted by Jamie Oliver, who was joined at the event by his wife Jools.

Oliver is an old friend of Fletcher’s, whom many still remember from his acting in The Press Gang in the Nineties.

Also present at the screening were Sam Taylor- Wood and her husband Aaron Johnson, bottom right. And in case you were wondering, Oliver provided some good cinema snacks too.
