Two International HYSTERIA Posters
Today we have two new international posters for the upcoming Tanya Wexler’s period comedy Hysteria.
The film centers around Dr. Joseph Mortimer Granville’s invention of the vibrator during the Victorian era and stars Maggie Gyllenhaal and Hugh Dancy. Gyllenhaal plays the daughter of the doctor, while Dancy plays the role of his young colleague who helps treats cases of female hysteria.
David Schwimmer As Killer In THE ICEMAN?
So, our favourite friend is now a killer? Hm, ok. David Schwimmer, guy probably best known as Ross Geller from Friends is now on board to star in the upcoming mob-centric indie The Iceman.
This project comes from director Ariel Vromen and already stars Michael Shannon, Ray Liotta, Maggie Gyllenhaal and Ryan O’Nan.
Good cast, but I’m still confused about the latest news. What the hell Schwimmer has to do with this role?
HYSTERIA Movie Trailer
Check out the first trailer for Tanya Wexlers‘ Hysteria, cheeky romantic comedy about the invention of the vibrator, starring Maggie Gyllenhaal and Hugh Dancy Victorian London is brought to life in vivid colour as a young doctor (Dancy) struggles to establish himself while confronting the gutsy daughter of his boss (Gyllenhaal).

Holly Hunter Set For Still I Rise, in Talks for Romeo and Juliet
Holly Hunter, best known for playing the role of Ada McGrath (The Piano) for which she won the Academy Award for Best Actress, seems to be moving back to the big screen after a gap of six years, signing on to one project and teaming up another.
Hunter has joined Viola Davis and Maggie Gyllenhaal in director Daniel Barnz’s new movie Still I Rise. She’ll play the head of the teacher’s union in a dramatic story about an instructor and a mother who join forces to improve the quality of education in an inner-city Pittsburgh school. Inspired by current events, the film takes aim at the educational crisis in America’s public schools.
Maggie Gyllenhaal and Hugh Dancy Join Hysteria
Maggie Gyllenhaal and Hugh Dancy will star alongside Jonathan Pryce and Rupert Everett in Hysteria.
The project sound quite interesting. Who would say NO to a Victorian-era romantic comedy about the invention of the vibrator?
Hysteria will be directed by Tanya Wexler from the screenplay written by Stephen Dyer and Jonah Lisa Dyer.
At this moment we know that the movie will follow “the pair’s fling against the backdrop of the invention of the vibrator, apparently created by a doctor who used it to treat hysteria in women.”
Maggie Gyllenhaal in Bill Monroe’s Biopic
So, back in June, we all had a chance to hear a rumor about Peter Sarsgaard‘s possible involvement in a Bill Monroe‘s biopic, written by Callie Khouri.
Today, we’re here to report that Sarsgaard’s wife and Maggie Gyllenhaal (Nanny McPhee Returns, Crazy Heart, Away We Go, The Dark Knight) will be the part of the upcoming project as well.
Maggie Gyllenhaal described her role this way:
“Bill Monroe, who invented bluegrass music, had a kind of Sid and Nancy style affair with this woman Bessie Lee Mauldin throughout his life and T-Bone Burnett’s going to do the music and Callie Khouri – who wrote Thelma & Louise – wrote the script so we’re going to do that together.”
Not bad at all! Especially with that Oscar winning team on board, and Finn Taylor (The Darwin Awards) in charge for directing the whole thing!
International Crazy Heart Trailer
Here’s the new trailer for Jeff Bridges’ latest movie,”Crazy Heart.”
Four-time Academy Award nominee Jeff Bridges stars as the richly comic, semi-tragic romantic anti-hero Bad Blake in the debut feature film “Crazy Heart” from writer-director Scott Cooper.

And yet, Bad can’t help but reach for salvation with the help of Jean (Maggie Gyllenhaal), a journalist who discovers the real man behind the musician. As he struggles down the road of redemption, Bad learns the hard way just how tough life can be on one man’s crazy heart.
“Crazy Heart” Trailer
The first trailer for Jeff Bridges led drama “Crazy Heart,” has arrived online.
“Crazy Heart” plot: Bridges plays Bad Blake, a broken-down, hard-living country music singer who’s had way too many marriages, far too many years on the road and one too many drinks way too many times. And yet, Bad can’t help but reach for salvation with the help of Jean (Maggie Gyllenhaal), a journalist who discovers the real man behind the musician. Gyllenhaal is being campaigned in the lead actress category, though it’s likely Bridges (and the film’s original music by T-Bone Burnett) are the film’s more reasonable shots at Oscar contention. Bridges has even been catapulted to most prognosticator’s winner predictions.
