Everybody’s Fine To Feature New Paul McCartney Song
Paul McCartney has written an original song, “(I Want To) Come Home,” for the upcoming Miramax’s new holiday dramedy “Everybody’s Fine,” starring Robert De Niro, Drew Barrymore, Kate Beckinsale and Sam Rockwell.
After attending an early screening of the film, McCartney felt a deep connection to the material and began writing the song that very night.
“Everybody’s Fine,” written and directed by Kirk Jones (Waking Ned Devine), is the story of a widower (De Niro) who embarks on an impromptu road trip to reconnect with each of his grown children only to discover that their lives are far from picture perfect.
Collaborating with composer Dario Marianelli on the orchestrations, McCartney has crafted an intimate song that compliments the themes of the film and serves as a final grace note to the moving story.

First Photos of Ellen Page and Drew Barrymore in “Whip It!”
USA Today has published the first set of photos from “Whip It!“, Drew Barrymore’s directorial debut.
The film stars Ellen Page (Juno, Smart People), Marcia Gay Harden (Into the Wild), Jimmy Fallon, Kristen Wiig, Juliette Lewis, Zoe Bell, Daniel Stern and Drew Barrymore.
Page play 17-year-old Bliss Cavendar, who is tired of competing in beauty pageants at the insistence of her mother (Marcia Gay Harden). She rebels by joining the Hurl Scouts, a women’s roller derby team in Austin, Texas, and finds her true calling — or, at least, a good place to unleash some pent-up aggression. Smashley Simpson (Barrymore) skates with the Scouts, as does Saturday Night Live’s Wiig and the great Zoe Bell. Juliette Lewis is described as the villain of the piece, an opposing player determined to defeat Page and the Scouts, and the players all have cool nicknames: Smashley Simpson, Maggie Mayhem, Bloody Holly, and so forth.

Barrymore said the tale partly reflects her own, as she was a famous child star that struggled with the transition to adulthood.
“I felt pressures that everybody feels, whether it’s inter-office, in high school or a small town. Everyone relates to expectations others have or what the world thinks. Who am I going to become? What am I going to be in this world?”
Juan Antonio Bayona Is Not Eclipse Director
Despite Juan Antonio Bayona being reported as the new director of the “Twilight” sequel “Eclipse,” according to The Los Angeles Times Summit Entertainment has not picked him to helm the movie.
“The Eclipse directing job hasn’t been offered to Juan Antonio or anyone else. We’ve met with three or four talented filmmakers and we’ll be meeting with three or four more other candidates before we make any decision. No one has been offered the job,”
said Erik Feig, who’s president of production at Summit Entertainment and the man most involved with managing the hit series of films.
Bayona has met with Summit executives as well as “Twilight” author Stephenie Meyer (who has written all the books in the series). Apparently the director doesn’t even know if he wants to direct “Eclipse.” He fears that by directing the third film in the series it will be hard to add his creative stamp with the casting and character development already taken care of.
This director “castings” is starting to seem like nothing but a bunch of rumors…Juan Antonio Bayona, Paul Weitz, Drew Barrymore, James Mangold…nothing official yet.
Juan Antonio Bayona to direct Twilight: Eclipse?
Word going around last week was that Drew Barrymore, James Mangold and Paul Weitz were al in consideration to direct Eclipse. Now that may turn out to be false as well.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Guillermo del Toro protege Juan Antonio Bayona, director of the acclaimed Spanish-lanague horror film “The Orphanage“, is one of the finalists for the gig.
Summit Entertainment declined to comment about Bayona directing the film, with a rep adding that the studio is still looking at several candidates to helm the project.
The second movie in the Twilight saga, “New Moon,” will begin production this year with Chris Weitz at the helm.
In “New Moon,” Edward leaves Bella, sending Bella into a depression and a friendship with a werewolf. In the third book, “Eclipse,” that relationship triangle evolves, while evil empires begin to pursue Bella. [source: THR]
Third “Twilight” Film Gets Release Date, New Director
Entertainment Weekly is reporting the rumor that Drew Barrymore is in the the line-up of potential directors for the third installment of Stephenie Meyers‘ teen-blood-lust-romance series, Eclipse. The actress recently wrapped production on her directorial debut, “Whip It“, (starring Ellen Page) which is slated to open later this year.
Catherine Hardwicke turned down the second film from the massively successful Stephenie Meyer franchise because she didn’t have enough time or money.
Earlier, it has been reported that since “Eclipse” release date is too close to “The Twilight Saga’s New Moon” and the two movies won’t be shot back-to-back, director Chris Weitz won’t have enough time to direct the two films as he will be in post-production on the first “Twilight” sequel when “Eclipse” starts the lensing. Hence, the third “Twilight” film should look for another director to do the job. But, so far, no one has been attached to the directing part.
Based on the third book in Stephenie Meyer’s vampire drama saga, “Eclipse” will tell the time when Bella once again finds herself surrounded by danger. Amidst the danger, she is forced to choose between her love for Edward and her friendship with Jacob, with the knowledge that her decision has the potential to ignite the ageless struggle between vampire and werewolf.
“The Twilight Saga’s New Moon” will be released on November 20th, 2009 and “The Twilight Saga’s Eclipse” will follow only seven months later on June 30th, 2010.
