Director Jonathan Nossiter asked Charlotte Rampling, if she ever found being beautiful a burden. "Are you kidding? When you're beautiful you can get away with anything." “We need them. We love them. There’s a way to do them. When you go back, and you watch Sleepless in Seattle - it’s the best. These movies are well shot. The stories are so good. The performances are amazing.” - Kate Hudson wanting a rom-com. “She is a bold and unselfconscious actress - someone whose gift is alive on her skin and in her being. She spins it out of the air in the room.” - Jennifer Lawrence by Meryl Streep. “I got this phone call from him [creator Mike White] … “I just want to let you know something about Season Two. We found these great locations in Sicily, You’re going to lose your mind, Jennifer. It’s so beautiful here. Oh yeah, one other thing - you’re gonna die!'” - Jennifer Coolidge on White Lotus 2. ”Film-making is not a male skill… We can all be storytellers.“ - Polly Morgan, London cinematographer of Lucy in the Sky and The Woman King. “I got Stuart Little and then Stuart Little 2. Other than that the work just dried up. Incredibly painful. I said my agent: Can we find out what Liam Neeson is turning down and go for those parts?” - Geena Davis, awaiting a Geenaissance. “I feel that for the last ten years of my life, I’ve been just stuck… doing these franchises I’m very grateful for. But I felt artistically stuck in my craft of not being able to expand or grow or challenge myself by playing different sorts of genres and different roles.” - Zoe Saldaña, Avatar’s Neytri Do you stay in character between takes? “No way. Are you kidding? It is top much. You have to put the bag down.” - Julia Roberts. “It’s the phase of my career where I’m really trying to just impress my kids. My five and ten-year-olds were so enthralled by… getting to visit the set and see me dressed up in a cape. It made it really cool. You know, it’s very rare that my kids are like, ‘Please go to work!’ Usually, it’s quite the opposite.” - Natalie Portman
FATHERS AND SONSMichael Douglas, once a nepo-baby himself, is making Blood Knot with his son Cameron. As a father and son mending their fences. They look like Kirk and Michael back in the 90s. Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon director Ang Lee is directing his son Mason, 33, as Bruce Lee. (Not the Tarantino version, I’m sure!) Mason has been training for the role over three years. Producers include Bruce’s daughter, Sharon. She was in the last version, Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story, in 1992.
COMPANY REPORTSDakota Johnson calls her company TeaTime Pictures… Barack and Michelle Obama’s is Higher Ground Productions… Brad Pitt’s is Plan B… Leonardo DiCaprio runs Appian Way Productions … Will Ferrell runs Gary Sanchez Productions (named after a fictional Paraguyan entrepreneur) And there’s a Paris outfit called (in French) Jack Only Has One Eye.
