Next stop for Cage
From: Agence France-Presse From correspondents in Los Angeles
November 04, 2005
NICOLAS Cage is teaming up with Oscar-nominated actress Julianne Moore to
star in a science-fiction adventure film called Next.
Academy Award-winner Cage, 41, will play a man who is able to see future
events and influence their outcome, while The Hours star Moore plays a US
federal agent who pursues him as she tries to prevent a terrorist attack.
The movie, to be made by Hollywood's Revolution Studios, is an adaptation by
screenwriter Gary Goldman of author Philip K. Dick's story The Golden Man,
according to Daily Variety.
Cage will also co-produce the film, which will be released in 2007.
Cage won the best actor Oscar for his role in 1995's Leaving Las Vegas and
has developed a reputation for alternating roles in action movies with more
serious character-driven dramas, as well as the occasional black comedy.
Moore, 44, starred in the Oscar-winning 2002 drama The Hours and was herself
nominated for best supporting actress the same year for the wrenching drama
Far from Heaven.
She has also had roles in The Shipping News (2001), Magnolia (1999),
Cookie's Fortune opposite Morgan Freeman (1999), 1998's The Big Lebowski and
1997's hit porn industry drama Boogie Nights with Burt Reynolds.

This year's fall and winter movie season looks fantastic.
That doesn't mean it's going to be particularly good, just that there
are so many ... fantasies.
There are children's fantasies like "Zathura" and "The Chronicles of
Narnia"; gravity-defying fantasies like "The Legend of Zorro" and "Aeon
Flux"; the animated fantasies "Chicken Little," "Tim Burton's Corpse
Bride" and "Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-rabbit"; sci-fi
adventures "Serenity," "Doom" and "A Sound of Thunder"; the fourth
Harry Potter movie, and Peter Jackson's remake of the ultimate
fantasy-adventure, "King Kong."
We begin our preview at the end of August, but the string of fantasies
gets an early start on Friday with Terry Gilliam's galloping "The
Brothers Grimm," which has more references to classic fairy tale
characters than all the other coming fantasies combined.
Some analysts may attribute the rash of fantasy films to the escapism
that comes with war, and that may play a role. But it seems just as
likely that fantasy reigns because the ability to create incredible
images today makes the genre irresistible to storytellers.
The trailers for all of the above movies are linked on the Web sites
www.apple.com/trailers and www.imdb.com. Take a look and you'll agree:
They look fantastic.
Fall/winter is also Oscar season, and there are plenty of potential
contenders. The high-profile films with awards ambitions include Steven
Spielberg's "Munich," a drama based on the search for the planners of
the assault on Israeli athletes at the 1972 Olympic Games; Rob
Marshall's "Memoirs of a Geisha," based on Arthur Golden's acclaimed
novel about a woman who spends her life in the high art of pleasing,
and Terrence Malick's "The New World," an epic account of the first
Virginia colony and the meeting of John Smith and Pocahontas.
Recent Oscar-winning director Roman Polanski returns with a new version
of Charles Dickens' "Oliver Twist," and Marc Forster'>Marc Forster ("Finding
Neverland") turns to drama with "Stay," the story of a psychiatrist's
efforts to stop a patient from carrying out a suicide threat.
Two Broadway musicals make the transition to the screen. Susan Stroman,
who directed "The Producers" on stage, handles the film adaptation as
well, while Chris Columbus directs "Rent."
A few laughs
Comedies abound. Among them are: "Rumor Has It," starring Jennifer
Aniston as a female version of "The Graduate's" Benjamin Braddock; "The
Man," a buddy film featuring unlikely chemistry between Samuel L.
Jackson and Eugene Levy; "The Weather Man," starring Nicolas Cage'>Nicolas Cage'>Nicolas Cage'>Nicolas Cage as a
TV weather guy who wears his bad forecasts on his shoulders, and a pair
of old-fashioned family films about families that are too big - "Yours,
Mine, and Ours" and "Cheaper by the Dozen 2."
The following schedule may have changed by the time the ink was dry on
this newspaper. But the great majority of films listed are locked in to
those dates.

father, and she's the woman who married, and then accidentally killed,
his son. Can her preteen daughter unite them, or will she become just
another wedge in their long-simmering enmity? More important, will
Lopez benefit from a boost in her lukewarm screen career, or has the
shelf-life on this much delayed movie already expired?

Reese Witherspoon in a romantic fantasy about a young man and the
spirit of a comatose doctor who fall in love while sharing an
apartment. Once they're over their, uh, dimensional differences, the
race is on to keep her body from being taken off life support.
Proof Last time director John Madden and Gwyneth Paltrow worked
together, she landed herself an Oscar. Though more erudite and intimate
than "Shakespeare in Love," Madden's adaptation of David Auburn's
Pulitzer Prize-winning play might just catch the eyes of Academy's
voters, too. Reprising a role she has already tackled on the London
stage, Paltrow plays an overwhelmed young woman rapidly losing her grip
after the death of her father (Anthony Hopkins), a brilliant math
professor. Hovering around the edges are her concerned support system:
brainy admirer Jake Gyllenhaal'>Jake Gyllenhaal and coldly practical sister Hope Davis.
The Woods Psychological horror film about the students of an all-girl
boarding school who begin to go missing in the surrounding woods.
Patricia Clarkson is the headmistress and Agnes Bruckner'>Agnes Bruckner is the new
student caught up in the mystery.
Separate Lies It's been a while since we were faced with the sight of
middle-class Brits keeping a stiff upper lip while suppressing
dangerous secrets. Fortunately, Emily Watson and Tom Wilkinson are
always willing to suffer stoically for our entertainment. "Gosford
Park" screenwriter Julian Fellowes makes his directorial debut, while
Watson and Wilkinson play a long-married couple who are still quite
happy together (aside from the passionate affair and possible homicide
she's hiding).
Venom Jim Gillespie ("I Know What You Did Last Summer") directs another
teens-in-trouble horror picture, this one involving voodoo in the
bayous of Louisiana. With Agnes Bruckner'>Agnes Bruckner (poor thing), Bijou Phillips.
The Libertine Johnny Depp takes on the role of notorious 17th-century
poet, derelict and debaucher John Wilmot, the Earl of Rochester and
grand embarrassment of Charles II (John Malkovich). Samantha Morton is
the actress who comes under Wilmot's shaky tutelage.
Adapted from his play by Stephen Jeffreys and directed by first-timer
Laurence Dunmore.
Tim Burton's Corpse Bride Another day, another Johnny Depp-Tim Burton
collaboration. Not that we're feeling cavalier about it: These two have
given us some of the most unusual movies in recent years. Since
Burton's "The Nightmare Before Christmas" and "James and the Giant
Peach" are among them, we have high hopes for this latest stop-motion
animated fantasy, which is based on an old Russian folk tale about a
young groom (voiced by Depp) who inadvertently finds himself with two
wives (he could do worse than Helena Bonham Carter'>Helena Bonham Carter and Emily Watson).
Thumbsucker Offbeat comedy about a 17-year-old boy whose infantile
habit of sucking his thumb makes him the subject of ridicule and
isolation even in his own home. But the people trying to help him kick
the habit are even stranger. With Tilda Swinton, Vincent D'Onofrio,
Keanu Reeves, Vince Vaughn. It's the first feature directed by Mike
Mills, maker of the well-received short "Paperboys."
Everything Is Illuminated Actor Liev Schreiber makes his writing and
directing debut with his adaptation of Jonathan Safran Foer's darkly
comic best seller about a young American Jew who travels to Russia to
find the woman who saved his grandfather from the Nazis. With Elijah
Wood.
One Bright Shining Moment: The Forgotten Summer of George McGovern
Documentary about the 1972 presidential campaign and political
humiliation of the idealistic former South Dakota senator.
Cry Wolf A high-school prank turns lethal when classmates listed on a
joke Web site as the next victims of a serial killer start turning up
dead. With Julian Morris, Lindy Booth, Jon Bon Jovi.
Hard Goodbyes: My Father Greek drama about a lonely boy who has to rely
on his imagination when the father with whom he'd shared a passion for
outer space does not come home.
The Thing About My Folks Paul Reiser wrote this film and co-stars in it
with Peter Falk as a son and father rediscovering the bond between them
on a cross-country trip in a restored '36 Ford. Directed by Raymond De
Felitta ("Two Family House").
The Weeping Meadow The first film in a planned trilogy by Greek master
Theo Angelopoulos follows a pair of refugee children as they come of
age in the small Greek village they are brought to after the Russian
Revolution.
SEPT. 23
A History of Violence With echoes of Alfred Hitchcock's "wrong man"
theme and Sam Peckinpah's "Straw Dogs," David Cronenberg's latest film
stars Viggo Mortensen as a small-town family man whose celebrated
heroism in thwarting and killing two thugs in his diner draws gangsters
to town. The one with the deformed face (Ed Harris) claims he knew the
hero years before and he has come for some payback. Despite his
denials, Mortensen's character ends up having to fight violence with
violence. With Maria Bello, William Hurt.
Oliver Twist If ever there were a story that suited Roman Polanski's
dark sensibilities, it's Charles Dickens' classic saga of an orphan
whose fate falls and rises at the mercy of others. The screenplay was
written by Ronald Harwood, Polanski's partner on their Oscar-winning
"Pianist," so it is always possible that this artistically acclaimed

I have read that some actors do have intercourse to make the scenes
realistic. I have seen about four (non porno) movies where it sure seemed
to me there wasn't anything simulated going one. Specifically movies with
Angelina Jolie, Julianne Moore, Holly Hunter, and Meg Ryan. If they were
not, they might as well have been. I doubt you would see any admittance or
denial.

Nicole Kidman: Time of her life
From The Times
January 03, 2004
There's a line late in Cold Mountain, the 1997 hit novel by Charles Frazier
that is now a $110 million film, where its female protagonist, Ada, is
described as looking "so beautiful that it made (her lover's) cheekbones
hurt". It's with that in mind that one approaches an interview with Nicole
Kidman, preparing for a more-than-willing ache.
Kidman is the Ada chosen by the writer-director Anthony Minghella for his
screen adaptation. And one can see why. She has to project a beauty and
spiritual essence that will keep Inman (Jude Law), an itinerant Confederate
soldier, slogging homeward from the civil war, a 19th-century American
Odysseus in search of his Charleston-bred Penelope.
For Cold Mountain, Kidman has flowing strawberry-blonde hair, often worn up
in a Grace Kelly pleat. Today, though, the porcelain skin and blue eyes are
framed by a bobbed black wig, which she is wearing while finishing scenes
from her latest film, a remake of The Stepford Wives. The coiffure is
austere, but the brilliance of her eyes is there to be savoured. Sitting
with her long legs outstretched, she looks even taller than she does on
screen.
Within minutes, she is warming to Cold Mountain's theme. "What's so
wonderful about it is that it is based on these two people needing something
and needing to conjure something based on a few captured, fleeting moments
that then have to sustain them through the years. So, when they meet up
again, it's like, 'Who are you? What are you? Is this actually based on
nothing, or am I going to be able to discover the person whose belief helped
me endure?' If Ada and Inman hadn't had that faith in their love, they
wouldn't have been able to endure the war. So when they come back together
and look at each other and say ..." She sighs, dreamily. "... and say,
'There's something here I feel that affects me, that I can respond to, that
is real."' She rephrases her thought: "You can call it love, but they're
saying, 'I need you.' And that, I think, is beautiful."
So, in its way, is Kidman's precis of the film, offered at a time and place
in her life that are literally worlds away from the often unforgiving
Romanian countryside where she and Law began shooting Cold Mountain in July
2002. (Kidman describes wearing heat packs on her face to keep warm.) Since
then, she has, of course, won an Oscar for her proboscis-heavy Virginia
Woolf in The Hours, headlined the most controversial film at this year's
Cannes festival (Lars von Trier's merciless allegory Dogville), won a Golden
Globe nomination for her performance in Cold Mountain and played a janitor -
yes, you read right, a janitor - in Robert Benton's upcoming movie version
of the Philip Roth novel The Human Stain. That said, it's probably no more
surprising to see Kidman acting "menial" than it is, in the same movie, to
find Anthony Hopkins playing a character who is black.
Throughout it all, Kidman's star has ascended ever higher, even as her
one-time renown as the ringlet-laden sidekick to Tom Cruise has all but been
forgotten. At this point, who can dispute the decision, in October, of US
magazine Entertainment Weekly to feature the 36-year-old Kidman toute seule
on the cover of an issue naming the 101 most powerful people in show
business? (In fact, she was 10th on that list, which was headed by the
producer Jerry Bruckheimer; his photograph, presumably, sells fewer
magazines.) Kidman possesses both class and clout. And, yes, a beauty worthy
of Frazier's language, one that you don't have to be Inman to love.
Not, Kidman is quick to tell you, that she is comfortable watching herself
on screen. As of our meeting in early December, she had seen neither The
Human Stain nor Cold Mountain, and she absented herself from the gala Cannes
screening of Dogville in May in favour of a glass of red wine in the foyer.
"They have to drag me literally by a leash around my neck to get me in."
Just like Judi Dench, I volunteer, another Oscar winner (and a favourite
performer of Kidman's) who can't bear to watch herself.
"Thank God," says Kidman, "there's somebody else with the same insanity."
Her own, it seems, extended to that tearful night in March when she beat
Renee Zellweger and Julianne Moore, among others, to win the best actress
Oscar. "I did not even think I was going to go. I'm terrible at taking any
compliments. I'm so hard on myself that even to stand up and accept
something like that, I feel like I'm not worthy of it." For much the same
reason, she cringes when I mention the telecast, the previous night on
American television, of the evening in her honour given by the American
Cinematheque in Los Angeles. "It was actually a bit embarrassing," she says.
"I looked at my work and thought, 'Gee, I don't deserve this; get back to
acting class, Nicole!' I was aghast at some of the stuff, particularly
because Sydney Pollack (director of her next film, The Interpreter) was
there, and Anthony Minghella, Stephen Daldry ... I was sort of apologetic. I
said to Sydney, 'You're going to fire me.' I thought he'd be thinking, 'What
have I cast this woman for?"' False modesty? No more than one finds with
Dench, who has long lamented so-called "instant acting" in cinema as against
the repeated opportunities provided by the stage to get a part right.
Kidman has far less theatre experience, but her thinking is much the same.
"The films are gone, they're done. Anthony (Minghella) says this about
movies, 'You have to abandon films. It's not like they're finished; they're
never finished.' But it's like abandoning a baby, and I feel that, I find it
difficult to accept praise, partly because I feel as if I had nothing to do
with it. You have no idea how you give a performance; you have no idea how
you get the role; you have no idea how any of this happens. It's all so
lucky and fortuitous."
Still, we're all capable of helping to create our own luck, and Kidman has
an obvious talent for creating hers. It wasn't for the money (there wasn't
any to be made) that she appeared on the London stage in The Blue Room,
giving a performance that prompted queues through Covent Garden ("I remember
Courtney Love getting really pissed off that I couldn't get her a ticket,"
deadpans Kidman), and was seen by Baz Luhrmann and Daldry. That led, in
turn, to her roles in Moulin Rouge and The Hours.
The Human Stain, The Hours and Dogville all deal in different ways with
damage, but at the moment Kidman is keen to lighten up. That explains her
sitting opposite me in chic black pyjamas, hands stuffed deep into her coat
to ward off the biting New York winter chill, on the Stepford Wives set. In
this new , Kidman inherits Katharine Ross's original role as the
Stepford men's prime "victim", or domesticated bimbo. The movie, co-starring
Bette Midler and Glenn Close, should have been finished weeks ago, but
Kidman and Matthew Broderick, who plays her husband, still have several
days' extra shooting to go.
Kidman, however, is in fine humour, despite the most antiseptic "office"
possible allocated for the interview. "We're in prison," she laughs, some
freshly cut flowers the only antidote to the dreariness. Her cheer is
amplified by the movie itself. "This version of Stepford is a comedy; it
isn't a thriller, though there is a sting. We're just trying to have some
fun - and, I suppose, laugh at everything - but with some satire mixed in
there."
There was a time, one reckons, when Kidman risked her own on-screen
Stepford-isation in such generic work as Days of Thunder, Far and Away (both
opposite Cruise) and, more recently, the silly Sandra Bullock movie
Practical Magic, in which the two women played sibling witches. Kidman cites
her bravura performance as a deadly weathergirl for Gus Van Sant in To Die
For, in 1995, as the turning point. "Strangely enough, that was incredibly
easy, because Gus and I were just like, 'Oh, whatever.' He'd come off Even
Cowgirls Get the Blues, and everyone was saying about me, 'Oh, she can't
act.' So the two of us had absolutely nothing to lose. And fortunately, Buck
Henry had written this that was phenomenal."
Nowadays, her status as a risk-taker is pretty much nonpareil. "You've got
to try to avoid doing what people might expect from you, to run away from
that. Partly, that's why I will go and do things like Dogville (a brutal
fable in which Kidman plays Grace, whose name is grimly ironic)." To avoid
the burden of expectation? She nods. "Take it off me. I don't want it. I do
not want to be expected to have a movie make money, or be expected to be
good. Just let me do my work and make it something we can all, hopefully, be
proud of."
It helps, of course, that Kidman is what Daldry has described as "a
transforming actress, which is something stars are often not". Kidman likes
Daldry's phrase. "It's terrible," she laughs. "I can morph into anything:
watch out. It's weird, because I can take any hair colour and my voice sort
of changes. I don't know, I'm like Zelig - one of my favourite movies. Oh,
God, I love Woody Allen. I saw Manhattan only the other night, and I cried."
Minghella, speaking from LA the morning after the Cold Mountain premiere, at
which Kidman finally saw the finished film, expands on Daldry's observation.
"It's very easy to celebrate the kind of work she has done in the past few
years and see this rosary of performances. But imagine being at the
beginning rather than the end - imagine the conversations she must have had
with agents and managements, about choices that in retrospect are very
smart, but at the time must have made them incredulous: 'I think I'll go off
to Spain to work with Alejandro Amenabar on The Others. I'll go to Sweden
with Lars von Trier. I think I'll go off and do a musical. I think I'll play
a supporting role in The Hours."' Her CV, says Minghella, "suggests somebody
whose mind and ambitions go a long way beyond the zip code of Beverly Hills.
That's what's most extraordinary."
The celebrity factor, of course, doesn't hurt either, whether with or
without Cruise, pregnant or not, dating or not dating this person or the
next. (Kidman this year won damages from several British papers that alleged
an affair on the Cold Mountain set between her and Law.) Most recently, she
has kept American tabloids buzzing with "is she-isn't she engaged?" queries
over her latest beau, rock'n'roller Lenny Kravitz. Their joint attendance in
October at a private pre-release screening of Kill Bill merited an entire
paragraph in The New York Observer, the city's hippest broadsheet.
Kidman is too smart not to expect the question when pressed for details on a
relationship that no longer finds her, as People magazine put it in April,
"soaring solo". She gives an affectionate sigh as I mention Kravitz's name,
then firmly but gently makes her point. "I've said over and over: I can't
discuss it. Honestly, my protection mechanisms towards any person in my life
are on guard, partly because I can't have a life, and also because my
natural inclination is always to want to discuss things, to talk about
things. At the same time, I could never go through that kind of publicity
again" - the clear reference here is to the protracted break-up with
Cruise - "particularly if something didn't work out. If something does, it's
a different thing. Also, as far as I'm concerned, nothing ..." She starts
the sentence over. "Here's what I'm about: I'm either in a very, very
committed, important relationship that I will stand up and be thoughtful
about, and I'm married - or I'm not. There's nothing in between." She
laughs. "I suppose it's slightly old-fashioned."
One senses that Kidman has seen no shortage of fictions written about her.
"I'm used to that, not just with films but with men, worries, everything. I
somehow get linked to people I've never met, which can be a little odd. You
meet them at a party and go, 'Hey, good to meet you. I saw we were together,
supposedly, and we're going to get married."' Her response to it all?
"Honestly? I've been given a lot of blessings, so at the same time you have
to say, well, thank you for the good things, and I accept the bad." She also
chuckles at the much-vaunted notion that she and Vin Diesel, of all people,
were going to do a remake of Guys and Dolls. "That's not true, though I hear
Vin's got a wonderful singing voice." And of the many other projects linked
to her, only Pollack's politically themed The Interpreter is definite
(though a screen version of the TV series Bewitched, with Will Ferrell to
co-star, looks more than likely).
Kidman has taken on The Interpreter for her 11-year-old daughter, Bella, the
older of the two children she and Cruise adopted. "I'd like to play a woman
who speaks five languages and plays the cello, so I can have my daughter see
me play that. It's saying: 'Women can be smart, and you don't have to run
around in a bikini. You can sit there and play the cello and wear a pair of
grey pants and a blazer and speak five languages and still be a really
interesting, amazing woman.' That's what I'd like to put on screen, just as
a balance - I don't mean to sound snobby - because we need more educated
women for the next generation of women to see and to aspire to be."
Snobby? More like smart, especially since Kidman knows equally well when it
is bikini time. Over the holidays, she says, she'll be in Fiji after her
stint in Sydney. "I want to get my kids to an island, grab a bikini, get a
cocktail." She stops herself. "Am I allowed to say that?"
She is also looking forward to some Oscar nominations for Cold Mountain.
"There was so much blood and guts put into this film. I would so love it to
get nominated; I am going to say that blatantly."
Our time draws to a close, and Kidman is summoned for a costume change.
"I'll be wearing a little khaki skirt, heading in the Stepford direction."
On the drive back into Manhattan, I do a double-take as I pass a new
apartment complex on the West Side known as The Nicole, urging interested
parties to visit the website thenicole.com. What would the Nicole make of
this, I wonder, but I think I know. She'd look surprised, find it gently
absurd, then have a good laugh. .

NY POST...SUSAN M KIRSCHBAUM
March 2, 2004 -- Diane Lane's curves, Holly Hunter's shoulders, Angelina
Jolie's decolletage - there was more than enough old-style Hollywood glamour to
go around at the Oscars, even among the former grunge and Goth set.
The post-Oscar buzz among fashion insiders was all about flawless image,
especially among those who've sinned before.
Among those in the cleaned-up-real-nice category were the formerly barefoot,
newly married Julia Roberts in flesh-toned Armani and former Goth gal Jolie in
a white Marc Bouwer halter gown plunging to a low V in front with diamonds
cascading down her cleavage.
With her hair pulled up and back to reveal stud earrings, she wore just enough
to titillate the crowd, even if it didn't quite hide her tattoo.
"Her dress was beautiful, but she was wearing nothing," said Michael Gallagher,
who collects and sells vintage fashion magazines. "I don't know what kept it
all up."
Fashion insiders also agree that Roberts has come of age. "She's become a real
woman," said Robert Verdi, stylist for "Full Frontal Fashion."
"She's grown into a fashion icon of beauty and good taste."
Mary Alice Stephenson, a fashion editor, agreed. "I was pleasantly surprised.
She seemed very at ease. This was definitely not some fashionista moment."
Naomi Watts, Jennifer Garner and Lane went for Audrey Hepburn style with
swept-up hair. Watts lit up the room in silver-beaded, flesh-toned Versace.
In her vintage, one-shoulder-bared Valentino, Garner looked like "Hollywood's
next sweetheart," said Cayli Cavaco, editor at Teen Vogue.
And Lane picked a slender white gown with silver circles by Loris Azzaro, the
vintage designer of the-moment.
"A dress like that would cost six to ten thousand," fashion historian Tiffany
Dubin tells The Post. "Diane was a thin creative goddess who took a vintage
leap."
Catherine Zeta-Jones, Julianne Moore and Hunter were lauded for their sexy,
flowing locks and sophistication. Hunter elegantly revealed shapely shoulders
in Vera Wang, while Moore's auburn hair barely skimmed her silver-beaded
Versace halter gown.
According to celebrity hair stylist Marc Garrison: "Her hair had volume in the
crown and the middle, a bit Goldie Hawnish but great." And Zeta-Jones va-voomed
in a fire-engine red Versace.
"She dared to wear red in a sea of muted colors and white," proclaimed
Montgomery Frazier, image guru.
Last but not least, Nicole Kidman conquered all in gray-blue strapless Chanel.
"Shockingly gorgeous," said Verdi.
With her "windswept" hair, he continued, she looked "like she left the
convertible top down."

By Steve Gorman
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - The story of Bob Dylan's life is blowin' in the wind at
Paramount Pictures.
The Viacom Inc.-owned studio has struck a deal with producers to develop a
biographical feature film about the famed singer-songwriter with Dylan's
cooperation, a Paramount spokeswoman said on Tuesday.
Dylan, who played a washed-up folk singer sprung from jail in the recent film
"Masked and Anonymous," will not portray himself in Paramount's "biopic" but
has licensed rights to his music for the production, the spokeswoman said.
The project is the brainchild of Oregon-based filmmaker Todd Haynes (news), the
Oscar-nominated screenwriter and director behind 2002's romantic period drama
"Far From Heaven," starring Julianne Moore (news) and Dennis Quaid (news), she
said.
The film will be developed by New York production company Killer Films and
Hollywood-based John Wells Prods. Haynes and the head of Killer Films,
Christine Vachon, are old friends from college, a spokeswoman for the company
said.
The project, tentatively titled "I'm Not There: Suppositions on a Film
Concerning Dylan," is in the earliest stages of development, though Haynes has
been tinkering with the idea since before making "Far From Heaven."
"They've got the director. Now they have to finish the and start
casting," Paramount's spokeswoman said, adding that no time table has been set
for production or release of the film.
Vachon told Hollywood trade paper Daily Variety that Haynes hopes to finish the
in a few months, though details of the project remain sketchy.
"The film is going to be inspired by Dylan's music and his ability to re-create
and re-imagine himself time and time again," Vachon was quoted as saying.
Haynes, himself, has said in previous interviews that he envisions the film as
a "multiple refracted biopic" with Dylan played by at least seven different
actors, including a woman.
Dylan, 62, whose music gave voice to an era of youthful revolt during the 1960s
and transformed the sound and depth of rock 'n' roll for four decades, has
given few interviews over the years while remaining an object of intense
fascination in the popular culture.
Director Martin Scorsese announced plans last year to make a documentary
chronicling Dylan's career. Scorsese documented the farewell tour of Dylan's
onetime back-up group, The Band, in 1978's "The Last Waltz."
Although Dylan's music has graced numerous movies over the years, and he won an
Academy Award in 2001 for his song "Things Have Changed" from the film "Wonder
Boys," his own screen career has been a mixed bag.
In addition to "Masked and Anonymous," which was panned by many critics,
Dylan's film acting credits include 1987's rock 'n' roll drama "Hearts of
Fire," the four-hour-plus "Renaldo and Clara" (which he directed, starred in
and co-wrote with Sam Shepard), and the 1973 western "Pat Garrett and Billy
the Kid" from director Sam Peckinpah.
He won three Grammy awards in 1998 for his album, "Time Out of Mind," hailed by
critics as one of his best albums ever. His 2001 release, "Love and Theft," won
the Grammy for best contemporary folk album.

Can't she take a hint it's not her age that people dislike? She's so
uncomfortable to watch. I saw her on Letterman the other night and she made
me sick with her desperate flirting. She kept kissing and touching him -
yuck!!!
Plenty of other actresses getting top jobs in their late 30s, 40s and 50s
like like Julianne Moore, Glenn Close, Diane Keaton, Meryl streep, Diane
Lane, Cathy Bates, Daryl Hannah, Jamie Lee Curtis, Sandra Bullock etc. Even
Nicole Kidman is 37 and Halle Berry is 38! They are at the top of their
game. Not only are they getting jobs they are often producing and calling
the shots.
If Sharon wasn't such a b*tch to everyone on her way up maybe she'd have
some more work now. Her excuses and "pity me" attitude are so boring. You
can't play an ingenue forever.
And same thing can be said about Rosanna Arquette - she made a movie
"searching for Debra Winger" about age discrimination. Let me tell you, if
Rosanna was a better actress maybe more people would hire her. Same with
Melanie Griffith - sex kitten role can only get you so far. Also, if Debra
Winger weren't such a terror to work with maybe she'd have more jobs as
well. She's a great actress but she has a terrible reputation on the set.
There are a ton of younger actresses that come and go because their acting
SUCKS - they can't blame age discrimination. There are a ton of male actors
that come and go too.
Sorry for my rant but I can't stand people who blame everyone else for their
problems.

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - "Mean Girls" extinguished "Man on Fire" at the North
American weekend box office as female teens snapped up $25 million worth of
tickets for the high school satire starring Lindsay Lohan and Tina Fey .
According to studio estimates issued on Sunday, the Denzel Washington thriller
"Man on Fire" slipped to No. 2 with $15 million in its second weekend. It was
followed by "13 Going on 30," a romantic comedy starring Jennifer Garner , with
$10 million, also down one place in its second weekend.
The top 10 contained three other releases, none faring well. "Laws of
Attraction," a romance starring Pierce Brosnan and Julianne Moore, opened at
No. 4 with $7 million. "Godsend," a cautionary tale about genetic science
starring Greg Kinnear and Rebecca Romijn-Stamos, followed with $6.9 million.
"Envy," a comedy starring Ben Stiller as the green-eyed neighbor of Jack
Black, bowed at No. 6 with $6.1 million.
This weekend marked the final opportunity for studios to clear their
inventories before the summer big guns take over. The Dracula thriller "Van
Helsing," reportedly budgeted at more than $170 million, kicks things off next
Friday, with the Brad Pitt costume epic "Troy" the following weekend.
"Mean Girls" exceeded industry expectations, especially since teen-targeted
movies such as "The Girl Next Door," "The Prince & Me," and Lohan's
"Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen" have underwhelmed recently. Executives
at its distributor, Paramount Pictures, said they had hoped for an opening in
the $15 million-$18 million range, about equal to its modest production budget.
"GIRLS" ENDS DROUGHT
For Paramount, "Mean Girls" represents its best opening in almost two years,
when the Ben Affleck (news) thriller "The Sum of All Fears" bowed with $31.2
million in the first weekend of June 2002. Since then, the Viacom Inc. -owned
studio, starved of generous production budgets, has released more than
two-dozen movies, most of which disappeared quickly.
Lohan, 17, plays a high school girl caught between cliques at a suburban high
school. "Saturday Night Live" star Fey, who also wrote the , plays a
teacher who falls victim to the duplicity. The film was directed by Mark
Waters, who worked with Lohan on last year's hit remake of "Freaky Friday."
Paramount said 75 percent of the audience for "Mean Girls" was female, and 50
percent was aged 18 and under.
After 10 days, "Man on Fire" has earned $44.5 million and lost just one-third
of its audience from last weekend. Movies tend to drop about 50 percent in
their second weekends. The kidnap thriller should end up near the $76 million
total of Washington's 2001 Oscar-winner "Training Day," said an executive at
its distributor, Twentieth Century Fox, a unit of News Corp.'s Fox
Entertainment Group Inc .
"30 Going on 30," in which Garner plays a young girl stuck in a woman's body,
fell 53 percent, and has a 10-day total of $35.2 million. It should surpass $50
million, said an executive at Columbia Pictures, a unit of Sony Corp (NYSE:SNE
- news) (news - web sites) .
"Laws of Attraction" was released by New Line Cinema, a unit of Time Warner Inc
. "Godsend" was released by Lions Gate Films, a unit of Lions Gate
Entertainment Corp . "Envy" was released by closely held DreamWorks SKG, which
has not had a hit since "Old School" opened with $17.5 million in February
2003. The studio's fortunes should improve on May 21, when it releases the
cartoon sequel "Shrek 2."

Julianne Moore Bares All for Arty Spread
Stunning red head Julianne Moore has bared all for an arty 42-page spread in
high-society magazine W.
The actress appears lounging provocatively on a chez lounge, wearing only
gold-colored shoes and a huge red ring as part of a three-story spread -
told in pictures.
The naked picture, shot by Michael Thompson, begins a pictorial tale about a
Mrs. Robinson-type diva who seduces a younger man.
The spread also features an odd tale of a woman who loses her nose, shot by
video maker Michael Gondry, who manages to erase the actress' nose in one of
the shots and has her attending a business meeting wearing a fake nose and
glasses in another.
The shots can be seen in the September W.
