Julia Roberts hasn’t had many big hits in the past few years, partly due to the fact she cut down on her hectic acting schedule so she’s have more time to spend with her family. However, she certainly hasn’t retired, and now Variety reports she’s planning to produce and star in the film, Fool Me Once.
The movie will be based on the just published Harlan Coben novel, which ‘follows a former special ops pilot Maya (Roberts) who sees an unthinkable image captured by her nanny cam while she is at work: her 2-year-old daughter playing with Maya’s husband, Joe — who had been brutally murdered two weeks earlier.’
Yep, you’d certainly be freaked out if you saw your dead husband playing with your kid, and we’re presuming there isn’t a supernatural explanation, and instead her hubby has faked his death. There’s no news on when the film might hit cinemas.
Director Garry Marshall had a surprised hit with the star-studden Valentine’s Day, but audience’s weren’t as interested in the follow-up, New Year’s Eve. However, Marshall hasn’t given up, as now he’s bringing us Mother’s Day, which features the likes of Julia Roberts, Jennifer Aniston, Kate Hudson, and Jason Sudeikis.
George Clooney and Julia Roberts are teaming up again for the drama/thriller Money Monster, and they’re bringing on Jack O’Connell for the ride. And as this is Clooney, you shouldn’t be too surprised that the movie tries to mix entertainment with a few social issues.
Shortly after the 2009 Argentinian movie The Secret in Their Eyes won the Best Foreign Language Oscar there was a lot of talk on making an English-language version. It’s taken a while but now it’s on its way, with Chiwetel Ejiofor in the lead role, alongside Julia Roberts and Nicole Kidman.
