Since she became a mother, we haven’t seen quite as much of Julia Roberts as we once did. However, she’s now picked a new project she plans to star in, as Variety reports she’s attached to an adaptation of Cynthia Swanson’s The Bookseller.
The book is about Kitty Miller, a single woman in the 1960s running a bookstore with her best friend, Frieda. He hopes for marriage and a family have never quite worked out. Then she starts to have dreams about an alternate life, one where she’s a slightly different woman who’s married with kids and seems to have the life Kitty has always wanted. At first this world only exists when she dreams, but could she eventually get to the point where she could choose that existence instead?
It’s early days though as no screenwriter or director is currently attached. It’s not known either when the film might shoot.
Synopsis: ‘When four lifelong friends – Regina Hall, Queen Latifah, Jada Pinkett Smith and Tiffany Haddish – travel to New Orleans for the annual Essence Festival, sisterhoods are rekindled, wild sides are rediscovered, and there’s enough dancing, drinking, brawling and romancing to make the Big Easy blush.’
It looks like things are slightly coming full circle with Cars 3. In the first movie, young hotshot Lightning McQueen teamed up with an aging auto the world has given up on, Doc Hudson, to become a true champion (and a nicer car). Now it’s Lightning who’s getting older, with newer, more powerful cars lining up to race past him.
It’s only a couple of weeks until we get to see whether the idea of rebooted 90s TV hit Baywatch as a big screen comedy vehicle for Zac Efron and Dwayne Johnson was a good idea or not. To help convince us it will be, a new Red Band trailer for the movie has arrived.
Synopsis: ‘A serial killer stalks the Limehouse streets of Victorian London in 1880, the terrified population of this squalid district of the East End believe that the “Golem”, a monster from Judaic mythology, is responsible. Inspector Kildare of Scotland Yard is handed the impossible task of solving these heinous crimes and his investigations lead him on a race across the capital from The Old Bailey, to Newgate Prison, to the music halls of London and the British Museum. His chief suspects are music hall superstar Dan Leno, political agitator Karl Marx, writer and philosopher George Gissing and journalist John Cree. Kildare believes that famed performer Little Lizzie Cree, who is almost certainly destined to hang for the poisoning of her husband, holds the key to the identity of the real Golem. Kildare must solve the case and in doing so, he believes he will save the life of Elizabeth Cree.
Will this be the female Hangover? It’s certainly got that vibe, with a group of friends having a raunchy, foul-mouthed night out ahead of a wedding. It’s also got a great cast, including Scarlett Johansson, Kate McKinnon, Jillian Bell, Ilana Glazer, and Zoë Kravitz.
