JOHN WOO DOING MARCO POLO?


It seems that after the success of his Chinese epic "Red Cliff" (which is about to be released in the USA), director John Woo has found himself a new epic project. In an interview for "Movieline" he has revealed his plans to do new, epic adaptation of "Marco Polo" story. He said that he was particularly interested in famous explorer's relationship with Kublai Khan whose emissary he was throughout Asia. Since Woo moved back to China few years ago, it's not quite clear whose project will this be (apparently it will be in English language), but another epic is always welcomed, if you ask me.

REBECCA ROMIJN ON "X-MEN: MYSTIQUE" MOVIE

"Beyond Hollywood" has published a cool story on gorgeous Rebecca Romijn and her character Mystique from "X-Men". Since almost every other hero from the franchise is getting a movie, and there seem to be many spin-offs with Wolverine, Magneto and Deadpool, why not give that sexy blue-skinned villain a movie about her super-hero origins.
Rebecca Romijn who recently gave birth to twins, and is currently enjoying a success with the fresh new show "Eastwick" says the following:"If they talk to me in a year when I have worked off more of the baby weight, we’ll see, but I’ve still got a couple of pounds to go. It’s a great idea but no one’s talked to me about it yet."

SY FY'S "ALICE" MINI SERIES TO AIR IN DECEMBER. SEE THE TRAILER.



SyFy Channel has announced the premiere of its new mini series "Alice" for December 6th. You can watch the teaser trailer over at my YouTube channel.
"Alice" brings the modern day re imagination of the famous Lewis Carrol's tale. The cast includes Kathy Bates, Tim Curry, Colm Meaney, Caterina Scorsone ... The new adaptation will supposedly be quite crazy with very strange twist so the White Rabbit for example will be totally different: he's not just one character but a whole secret organization that works for the Queen of Hearts and abducts people from the real world, so that they can come and gamble in the Queen's casino :) And Alice is not a girl, but a women with all kinds of female problems.

The winners of the first part of our BEST CELEBRITY COUPLE poll are Emily Blunt and John Krasinski. Gorgeous British actress ("Devil Wears Prada", "Young Victoria", "Wolfman") got engaged to charming "Office" star John Krasinski this summer, but they've been dating since November 2008. Before that she dated popular Canadian singer Michael Buble. When asked how did John propose to her she joked saying: "All I can say is that there were flutes playing in the background, butterflies, there were angels showering us with rainbow drops". They really are the cutest possible couple :)
Second place in our poll is shared by three other celebrity couples: young actors Jenna Dewan and Channing Tatum, ultra sexy couple Rebbeca Romijn and her husband Jerry O'Connel, and English rose Kate Winslet with her husband famous director Sam Mendes.

EXCLUSIVE NEW TRAILER FOR "THE IMAGINARIUM OF DOCTOR PARNASSUS"



The latest trailer for "The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus" is just in and you can watch it over at my official YouTube channel. You can expect dazzling visuals from this movie, and knowing its director Terry Gilliam, probably a weird and self-centered story.
It is a modern-day fantasy adventure in which Dr. Parnassus has the extraordinary gift of inspiring the imaginations of others. Helped by his traveling theatre troupe, including his sarcastic and cynical sidekick Percy and versatile young Anton, Parnassus offers audience members the chance to transcend mundane reality by passing through a magical mirror into a fantastic universe of limitless imagination. However, Parnassus' magic comes at a price. For centuries he's been gambling with the devil, who is coming to collect his prize - Parnassus' precious daughter, Valentina on her birthday.
The amazing cast includes Heath Ledger, Jude Law, Christopher Plummer, Johnny Depp, Colin Farrell, Lily Cole ...

EXCLUSIVE NEW PICS FROM THE UPCOMING ROMAN EPIC "CENTURION" WITH MICHAEL FASSBENDER



"Empire Magazine" has just published two new pictures from the upcoming Roman epic "Centurion", set in Britain in the 2nd century A.D. in which charismatic Michael Fassbender marches together with the famous 9th legion in order to wipe out the Picts from the face of the world after they've been raiding the Roman frontier for a long time. Fassbender is joined by Olga Kurylenko and Dominic West.
I must say I just love the bluish tone of this movie, it seems we'll sense the cold and grim atmosphere of the ancient Britain right through the big screen.
