On the night before an old friend’s wedding, three frisky bridesmaids go searching for a little fun but find much more than they bargained for. With lovely Becky (Rebel Wilson) set to marry her handsome sweetheart, Dale (Hayes MacArthur), the remaining members of her high school clique reunite for one last bachelorette bacchanal in the Big Apple. Regan (Kirsten Dunst) is an overachieving, ueber-Maid of Honor who’s secretly smarting over the fact that she’s not the first to marry, while Gena (Lizzy Caplan) is a whip-smart sarcastic who’s actually a closet romantic, and Katie (Isla Fisher) is a ditzy beauty who loves the good life. But when Becky insists on keeping the bachelorette party tame, the women proceed with an after-hours celebration of their own. It should be out later this year.
Upside Down Trailer
Although it’s difficult to work out from this whether Upside Down will be good or not, it’s certainly an intriguin idea and from this evidence it’s going to be visually arresting. The film is a conceptual romance/sci-fi from director Juan Solanas. Here’s the synopsis: ‘Adam is a seemingly ordinary guy in a very extraordinary universe. He lives humbly trying to make ends meet, but his romantic spirit holds on to the memory of a girl he met once upon a time from another world, an inverted affluent world with its own gravity, directly above but beyond reach (each universe is in the sky of the other, able to see once another but not interact)… a girl named Eve. Their childhood flirtation becomes an impossible love. But when he catches a glimpse of grown-up Eve on television, nothing will get in the way of getting her back…’ No UK release date is currently set.
See Brad Pitt, Jessica Chastain & More Take On Cinematic Villains
Every year around awards season, the New York Times uses its muscle to get a bunch of top actors to dress up and pose for unsual pictures, all related to a different theme. This year’s theme is ‘Touch Of Evil’ and it sees everyone from Brad Pitt to George Clooney taking part, dressed up as some of cinema’s greatest villainous archetypes.
We’ve gathered together some of the images below, but you can get a better look over at the NYTimes site, along with videos of the stars, which sadly aren’t embeddable. It’s incredible how they get all these people to take part, and it makes for some great shots.

Kirsten Dunst & Orlando Bloom Join Cities
Kirsten Dunst and Orlando Bloom have joined Clive Owen and Anil Kapoor in director/writer Roger Donaldson’s (The Bank Job, Thirteen Days) next directing project, Cities, according to Variety.
Cities is described by the makers as ‘A cautionary tale about greed and ambition that takes place in the exuberant months leading up to the Dow Jones all-time stock market high. Fortunes, both big and small are put at risk as people around the globe gamble that the financial market’s meteoric rise will continue. In New York, a hedge fund manager (Owen) has everything he wants – money, sex and power, but he wants more. In London, a young couple just want to buy their first home, but it seems impossibly out of reach. In Mumbai, a cop fights against corruption between property speculators and his villainous colleague Seth (Kapoor). These stories will all dramatically collide in a world where the fortunes of individuals are interwoven with the lives of others across the globe they have never even met.’
It isn’t known exactly how Dunst and Bloom fit into this, although Kirsten will be playing somebody called Kate. The movie will reunite Dunst and Bloom, who first appeared together in Cameron Crowe’s Elizabethtown in 2005, but let’s hope this new movie is a lot better than that film. Shooting on Cities is set to start in the spring.
