Blue Valentine Posters, War Over NC-17 Rating
The Weinstein Company have released a seductive new poster for the currently NC-17 rated Blue Valentine, which is directed by Derek Cianfrance and stars Ryan Gosling, Michelle Williams, Mike Vogel, John Doman, Maryann Plunkett
Synopsis: A complex portrait of a contemporary American marriage, “Blue Valentine” tells the story of David and Cindy, a couple who have been together for several years but who are at an impasse in their relationship. While Cindy has blossomed into a woman with opportunities and options, David is still the same person he was when they met, and is unable to accept either Cindy’s growth or his lack of it. Innovatively structured, the narrative unfolds in two distinct time frames, juxtaposing scenes of first love and youthful sexuality, with those of disenchantment and discord.

Daniel Stamm To Direct Martyrs Remake
The remake of Pascal Laugier‘s violent French horror film Martyrs is moving forward with Daniel Stamm (The Last Exorcism) hired to serve behind the lens.
The film tells the story of Lucie and Anna, two orphans who develop a strong bond with each other, until one of them seeks revenge on a family who may or may not have abused her as a child.
Stamm shares his thoughts on the remake:
Martyrs is very nihilistic. The American approach [that I'm looking at] would go through all that darkness but then give a glimmer of hope. You don’t have to shoot yourself when it’s over.
Mike White will Direct Pride and Prejudice and Zombies
Pride and Prejudice and Zombies has finally got a new director.
Mike White has officially signed on to direct the film adaptation of Seth Grahame-Smith‘s novel of the same name.
White replaces director David O. Russell, who left the project last month. Russell brought Natalie Portman on as a star.
Portman originally was attached to play a undead fighting version of Elizabeth Bennet but she’s still producing.
Scarlett Johansson and Bradley Cooper had been on Russell’s list and they are still being thrown around as names, but it is merely speculation at this point.
Lionsgate offered him to direct the movie earlier this month despite of the fact that White doesn’t have much experience as director. White directed The Year of the Dog and also wrote School of Rock, Orange County, Chuck & Buck. But we’ll wait and see…
