MichellE could be directed by Juan josÉ Campanella
June 4, 2006

Fotogramas, the most important cinema magazine in Spain, has published this month, June 2006, into DVD - TvSeries section, on an article referred to the dvd edition of Vientos de Agua (Winds of Water) an Hispanic-Argentinian super-production by episodes aired on Tele5 (Spanish channel) and directed by the Argentinian Juan José Campanella, a little interview to the director where he tells:

"Acabo de rodar episodios de Ley y Orden: Unidad de Víctimas Especiales y vine a Los Ángeles para rodar House, una miniserie para la TNT, y una película con Michelle Pfeiffer. ¡Adiós a my sueño de tomarme un año libre!", translated it would be: "I've just filmed some episodes of Law & Order: Special Victims Unit and I came to Los Angeles to film House, a Tv series for TNT channel, and a movie with Michelle Pfeiffer. Bye for my dream about take a free year!"

Well, I don't know when the interview was made, but it has gone out this month, so I guess it can't be too old.

Let's remember that on November 2004 Variety published that Juan José Campenella was on board to direct She's Gone which had to be procuced by Disney-based production company Beacon with a script penned by Beacon chairman and CEO Armyan Bernstein.

Well, now thinking... Pfeiffer has already done a romantic-comedy -she was looking for a good one- I could Never Be Your Woman. So we don't know if Campanella goes on interested on it or it would be another new project. I've always thought the director gets in his movies a perfect mixture between drama and comedy, so I wouldn't surprised if Campanella directed Chasing Montana, the long-announced project which is now listed for be realized in 2008 by IMDb.

On the other hand if the Campanella's project is on, I guess that the participation of Michelle on Hairspray musical-movie-project will must be off. I have to admit I'd love to see to Pfeiffer on a new musical -althogh I know that her part, Velma Von Tussle, doesn't sing or dance- but on the other hand also I know that Campanella could get one of the best performances of Michelle in a movie... so I prefer to wait before doing conjectures about a little buzz.

About Juan José Campanella, he is one of the most important directors in Argentina. He has managed to touch to all the world with his movies, with easy stories, told with street language and supported by great Argentinian actors like Ricardo Darín or Héctor Alterio. Two of them are El hijo de la novia (Son of the Bride) in 2001 and El mismo amor, la misma lluvia (Same Love, Same Rain) in 1999. Even the first of them was nominated for Best Foreign-Language Film on the Academy Awards in 2001 and in addition his movies have been awarded in several festivals.

A new change of release for "I Could Never Be Your Woman"
May 18, 2006

I Could Never Be Your Woman has a new release date, if before it was sheduled for June 28, now it is September 8, 2006.

The movie has already been changed of date several times. I hope it's good for the film although we have to wait a little more to watch it. I guess that all this changes owe to get a topper performance of the movie, perhaps producers and distributors are considerating the film quality to have the chance to be nominated to several awards. Lets remember that the best films use be released on that dates, falling the year.

It this release-date is definitive, I Could Never Be Your Woman will have to compete with other movies at the Box-office:

- The Covenant, the horror-thriller by Renny Harlim with Sebastian Shan, Steven Strait and Toby Hemingway.

- Hollywoodland, another mistery-thriller by Allen Coulter with Adrien Brody, Ben Affleck, Diane Lane and Bob Hoskins.

- Pathfinder, and accion and adventure movie by Marcus Nispel with Karl Urban, Moon Bloodgood and Russell Means.

- Brooklyn Rules, a drama by Michael Corrente with Alec Baldwin, Freddie Prinze Jr, Scott Caan, Jerry Ferrara and Mira Sorvino, and what will be a limited relase.

- Trust The Man, a romantic comedy by Bart Freundlich with Julianne Moore, David Duchovny, Billy Crudup, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Eva Mendes and Ellen Barkin, released in a limited way on August 18, and in wide release on September 8.

Apparently, only Hollywoodland, Brooklyn Rules and Trust The Man get great known stars, and presonaly I prefer this release date. So we have to wait...

Michelle Pfeiffer As Velma Von Tussle?.
May 14, 2006

Falling March we talked about the possibility that Michelle Pfeiffer came back to sing in a movie, we referred to the new project that New Line Cinema is developing, a new version of the musical Hairspray with John Travolta as Edna Turnblad and Queen Latifah as Motormouth Maybelle.

In that time, Travolta reported he hoped maybe a few famous friends could be on the movie, like Billy Crystal and Michelle Pfeiffer.

Now, although it isn't an official announcement yet, IMdB publishes that Michelle is on the cast as Velma Von Tussle, and in addition also Rowan Atkinson is on the credits. Although at the moment only Travolta and Latifah are attached to the project.

IMdB source isn't always reliable, we must remember the site has got wrong some times, so we had to wait until it is official. Anyway the project could be great, seeing Michelle Pfeiffer singing and dancing on a movie again.

ExtraTv announces the retuRn of Michelle Pfeiffer.
April 28, 2006

Coinciding with a day before the 48th birthday of Michelle Pfeiffer, ExtraTv released a video announcing the Michelle's back.

It titles "Pfeiffer Returns to Big Screen" and reports: Acting was her home away from home before she took a sabbatical from the crazed acting biz to focus on her family. But Michelle Pfeiffer and doting husband, David E. Kelley, couldn't be more excited about her big return to the big screen after a 4-year break! See who the stunning Pfeiffer is getting hot and heavy with in "I Could Never be Your Woman," set for a summer release.

To see the video you can click here. The images show several times on the filming set of "...Woman". The clip is pretty funny and really it made me laugh. I think it's going to make much expectation before the movie release.

On the other hand the premiere has been moved to July 28, 2006. At first the relese was sheduled for September 15, then on March it was changed to July 29. It could mean that the movie is being considerated to be a blockbuster for the next summer. We'll have to wait to see what's happen. As I've said before, maybe the movie is doing pretty expectations. Also we already have the release dates for Netherlands -on August 31-, Spain -September 29- and Belgium -November 15-.

Michelle Pfeiffer already On Scotland.
April 24, 2006

The Sunday Mail from yesterday April 23 tells on an article titled "Michelle's so in love": Michelle Pfeiffer has fallen for Scotland just a day into filming her latest blockbuster.

The blonde, 47, started shooting fantasy flick Stardust in Kinlochewe, Wester Ross, yesterday.

But wet weather forced her back into her trailer.

Michelle said: "I just love the Highlands even though you get all the seasons in one day."

The movie, which will also shoot in Skye this week, co-stars Robert De Niro and Sienna Miller.

On the other hand, the digital photo agency FilmMagic.com, who has exclusive coverage of the Stardust filming, has published the pics of Michelle on the set on the Isle of Skye today. The pictures size is very small, so that you can get an idea click here to see some of them or visit the page with the complete set of images clicking here:

Matt Damon interested on Michelle Pfeiffer.
April 1, 2006

According CyclingNews.com the heavily-rumoured casting of Hollywood heart-throb Matt Damon as Lance Armstrong in the forthcoming biopic about the seven time Tour de France winner has come to nothing after the 35 year old decided to dramatically quit the project in favour of another screen role.

Damon, star of hit movies such as Ocean's Eleven, the Bourne Identity and Saving Private Ryan, was long considered the prime choice of Armstrong.

Indeed Armstrong's dramatic recovery from a near-fatal illness seemed both the ideal Hollywood plot and a perfect vehicle for Damon's talents. Although the two look nothing alike, the movie star was reportedly in heavy training for the role, going on long bike rides with Armstrong in a bid to lose weight, gain fitness and build the technical skill to convincingly portray the multiple Tour champ on screen.

"Man, I'm even shaving my legs," Damon reportedly said in an as-yet unpublished interview with celebrity reporter April Fibbs.

Details are still sketchy about what happened to his involvement with the project, but according to the unrivalled journal of record, National Enquirer, Damon and Armstrong failed to see eye to eye in a number of areas. These rumours include reports that Damon insisted that Michelle Pfeiffer play Armstrong's mother, he demanded that Jessica Alba play Armstrong's former wife Kristin, and he expressed a strong preference for the casting of Vanessa Paradis as Sheryl Crow, despite the fact that the singer is not actually French.
