PROFOUND TRAILER FOR LARS VON TRIER'S SF DRAMA "MELANCHOLY"! HAILEE STEINFELD IN "ROMEO AND JULIET"! BEN STILLER IN "THE SECRET LIFE OF WALTER MITTY"!

    Ah, it seems that in the time of world wide tragedies and wars, Hollywood wants to surround us with fairy tales. So, here is yet
    another fairy tale film adaptation. Young Hailee Steinfeld, who just last week landed the lead role in the new film adaptation of SLEEPING BEAUTY, will now also star in new ROMEO AND JULIET. It will be her next film, with the production starting this Spring, and the film will be directed by Italian filmmaker Carlo Carlei with a modest budget of $15 million. According to "MovieWeb" the role was first meant for Lily Collins but she went on to play Snow White in Tarsem Singh's film. The screenplay will be written by Oscar winner Julian Fellowes (GOSFORD PARK).
    SHORT HEADLINES *Ben Stiller will star in the remake of 1947 film THE SECRET LIFE OF WALTER MITTY, a story about a milquetoast man who lives life vicariously through daydreams in which he envisions himself in a series of heroic, fantastic personas. The film is looking for a director after Steven Spielberg, Gore Verbinski and Ron Howard opted for other projects. *Juan Carlos Fresnadillo, the director of famous 28 WEEKS LATER, will helm the remake of THE CROW, the story of a man who is resurrected in order to avenge his dead wife so that they could be together in heavens.

    I must admit I've been waiting to see the first trailer for Lars Von Trier's new film MELANCHOLIA, and here it is.  With quite an interesting cast including Kirsten Dunst, Charlotte Gainsbourg, John Hurt, Kiefer Sutherland, Charlotte Rampling, Alexander Skarsgård, and Stellan Skarsgård the film will basically start with the end, with the audience seeing the world being crushed and destroyed at the beginning and then it will not be a film about what happens but how it happened! The film will show people who are trying to deal with the planet’s impending doom. Kirsten Dunst will be a woman who is planning to get married to Alexander Skarsgaard while his father Stellan Skarsgaard will play the best man and John Hurt will play Dunst's father.
