Filming Matt Damon On The Bed, On The Floor, On a Towel By The Door…
…In the tub, in the car, up against the mini-bar…
Well, OK…Enough! 
Though it was hinted earlier that “The Bourne Ultimatum” would be the last of Bourne’s film series, it is reported that Matt Damon is going to once again reprise his role as Jason Bourne.
According to Variety, Matt Damon has been signed by Universal Pictures to do the fourth film ‘Untitled Bourne 4 Project’.
Marc Shmuger and co-chairman David Linde managed to persuade the movie star to play his iconic character once again. Variety also reported that Universal have also landed helmer Paul Greengrass, the director of ‘The Bourne Supremacy’ and ‘Ultimatum’, to direct the fourth project.
Prior to the outing of the fourth Bourne’s project, the third film’s franchise has been awarded with three Oscars for Best Film Editing, Best Sound and Best Sound Editing at the 80th Annual Academy Awards.
Aside from winning Oscar, the film that is starred by Damon, Julia Stiles and David Strathairn has also earned a commercial success earning $227.5 million domestically and $442.9 worldwide.
DiCaprio to Play Support to Mark Wahlberg?
Leonardo DiCaprio (three-time Academy Award-nominated) is said to be playing opposite Mark Wahlberg in a remake film of the 2006 documentary film ‘Cocaine Cowboys.’
Mark Wahlberg has managed to persuade DiCaprio to take a supporting role in the yet untitled film “Untitled Jon Roberts Project”.
Leonardo DiCaprio ‘is excited about the opportunity to play the airplane pilot who travels with Mark’s character to obtain kilos of cocaine from Pablo Escobar’.
Aside from the reports that the character he is portraying would not be a leading role, further details about DiCaprio’s character in the film has yet to be known.

‘Margot At The Wedding’ – Review
Noah Baumbach’s ‘Margot At The Wedding‘ is an ambitious, tart-tasting exploring some unhappy middle-class lives and picking at the scars of rivalry.
Margot (Nicole Kidman) is a writer who appears to have the best intention with her sister Pauline (Jennifer Jason Leigh) when she agrees to attend her wedding. She arrives with her son and takes an instant dislike to the groom, Malcolm (Jack Black), who is simply not good enough for her sister.
When Pauline confides that she is pregnant, it is a secret that Margot cannot keep to herself. Her careless talk is the first of several betrayals in the days leading to a wedding that seems doomed from the outset.
‘Margot At The Wedding’ is full of characters you could either love or loathe. Margot is a manipulative monster who cannot see someone else’s happiness without wanting to destroy it or steal it as potential material for her fiction. She is also highly vulnerable and even sympathetic, especially when confronted with her own failings.
Pauline is the kind of character who should win all our sympathy but often seems her own worst enemy. The reason her sister can hurt her so much comes in the quiet realisation that she might just be speaking the truth.
However, it does have some fine performances and enough sour humour and sharp insights to make it worthwhile.

Paul Haggis Has ‘No Idea’ What ‘Quantum Of Solace’ Means
Daniel Craig insisted that the oddly-phrased moniker “ties into the plot,” but the Oscar-winning writer of the script, Paul Haggis admitted when was asked for the meaning on the Oscar red carpet Sunday:
‘I have no idea…It’s not my title’.
According to moviesblog.mtv.com Haggis was less-than-enthusiastic about the three-word title that has been attached to his script. When was asked what he thought of it, he just sighed and said: “No comment.”
Haggis said:
I’m not supposed to say anything [about the plot]. I finished it before the strike, and now they’re off shooting it. I haven’t actually heard from them, other than the fact that it’s going very, very well. And Marc’s doing a great job. That’s what I hear.
Oscar For Best Costume Design, ‘Elizabeth: The Golden Age’
The nominees in this category were: ‘Across the Universe’, ‘Atonement’, ‘La Vie en Rose’, ‘Sweeney Todd’ and ‘Elizabeth: The Golden Age’.
The first Elizabeth movie also earned an Oscar nomination in 1999, but ultimately lost out to Shakespeare in Love.
The costumes in both Elizabeth movies were designed by Alexandra Byrne.
For a second time, costume designer Alexandra Byrne has dazzled moviegoers with her lush fabrics and vibrant colors to create the regal fashions of the times.
These costumes are magnificent. The brilliant colors and pleasing shapes, especially when paired with Elizabeth’s (Cate’s) pale skin and bright red hairpieces.
Alexandra Byrne truly made creations fit for a queen.
Check out the creations from Elizabeth: The Golden Age:
