Just last November, one Casting Tidbits update revealed The Lovely Bones star Saoirse Ronan landed the title role in Effie, a biopic about Effie Gray, the wife of English art critic John Ruskin, who became entangled in a famous Victorian love triangle. Now Deadline reports Dakota Fanning will star in the period drama from writer/actres****a Thompson which chronicles the strange romance, or lack thereof, between Gray and Ruskin. Despite her beauty, Ruskin was said to be disgusted with Gray's body, did not consummate the marriage and annulled it, allowing her to marry Ruskin's protégé John Everett Millais.Though Orlando Bloom was once attached to play Millais, apparently Tom Sturridge (Pirate Radio) has stepped into the role. In addition, Thompson will also star in the film as Lady Eastlake, who takes Effie under her wing when it becomes clear the union was destroying the young woman. Her husbandGreg Wise (Johnny English) will play Ruskin while Julie Walters (Harry Potter franchise) and Derek Jacobi (The King's Speech) will play his parents. Finally, Edward Fox (Gandhi) is in talks to play Eastlake's husband Sir Charles a man who was not only fed up with Ruskin and his radical ideas, but also the main patron of the Royal Academy which held sway over what constituted fine art.
Richard Laxton (An Englishman in New York) is directing the film which begins shooting in Scotland on October 17th with shooting to follow in London and Venice as well. The cast has been shuffled on this project for awhile with Carey Mulligan once attached to the title role as well, but a copyright infringement claim held up the film, which resulted in scheduling conflicts for the previously attached cast members. Producer Don Rosenfeld says, "It’****a Thompson’s first original script after doing several fine adaptations, and it gets to the heart of Victorian England." Though this sounds a bit more along the lines of her work on Sense and Sensibility as opposed to Nanny McPhee, her work on the page should make for a great British drama down the road.。11月20日,聊斋系列院线电影“聊斋新编四部曲”(《聊斋新编之画皮人》《聊斋新编之婴宁》《聊斋新编之辛十四娘》《聊斋新编之鸦头》)在象山影视城开机。电影由尹波执导,无限精彩(无锡)影业公司,安徽泽深影业,杭州宝行文化出品。有一种爱你不生就不会有,而一旦你有了不会在乎孩子她到底懂不懂。 街道办事处的何瑞喜的丈夫是警察,在与她通话一小时后牺牲。瑞喜不顾医生劝阻,冒死生下秦小白,以她滑稽得近于疯狂的方式抚养小白成长。本剧由此展开极至版的《成长的烦恼》和超级版的《当青春期遇见更年期》。 丈夫在与其通话一小时后即牺牲的经历,使瑞喜非常敏感,无法忍受与小白不确定情形下的分离,令小白抓狂。 但是,小白终于长大,她要跟奶奶一起照顾瑞喜。。
