18/05 ‘Passengers’ lands on DVD

Here are some of the latest movies to land on DVD, led by a fantasy-thriller that should have received theatrical play.
Passengers (Sony/Blu-ray, 2008, PG-13, $39.95). This showcase for Anne Hathaway is yet another inexplicable example of what major studios send straight to video. It’s a flawed melodrama/fantasy, but it’s certainly better than a lot of recent films that have managed to find their way to theaters. (Such as Hathaway’s own Bride Wars.) Go figure. Hathaway plays a young, perhaps overeducated therapist who is assigned to begin sessions with a group of traumatized airline-crash survivors. The plot unravels in fits and starts and doesn’t seem sure of what it wants to be — is it about a patient’s sudden extra-sensory abilities, is it a conspiracy thriller about an airline covering up the real reasons for the crash, is it a romance as Hathaway’s character crosses ethical lines? Despite these teases and some lapses in logic, however, the film is satisfying most of the way, even if you figure out the big “reveal” as the film morphs into a feature-length Twilight Zone episode. The performances are exceptional, especially Hathaway in a role that requires her to carry the picture, but also Patrick Wilson, Andre Braugher, David Morse, Clea DuVall and especially Dianne Wiest. Extras: widescreen, deleted scenes, audio commentary, featurettes, trailers Thanks to DeserteNews.com for this review!

12/05 “Valentine’s Day” woos all-star cast

Julia Roberts and Anne Hathaway are among the all-star cast lining up for the romantic comedy Valentine’s Day, to be directed by Garry Marshall. Joining them in final negotiations to star in the movie are Jessica Alba, Jessica Biel, Jennifer Garner, Shirley MacLaine, Bradley Cooper and Ashton Kutcher. The New Line film’s five slightly interconnecting stories play out during a Valentine’s Day in Los Angeles: * Roberts is an army officer on leave from Iraq on a flight to Los Angeles. Cooper, on the same flight, is a gay man whose lover is a closeted football player. * Kutcher is an owner of a flower shop who proposes to his girlfriend (Alba), only to realize he is in love with his close friend, played by Garner, who discovers her boyfriend is married. * MacLaine plays Roberts’ mother, a happy retiree who reveals to her husband a long-ago affair. * Hathaway is an assistant working at the biggest talent agency in town and dating a mailroom assistant; Biel is a publicist unlucky in love who has no date on Valentine’s Day. Major roles still to be cast are the gay football player, MacLaine’s husband, the mailroom worker, a talent agent and a young boy looking to give his crush some flowers. Katherine Fugate wrote the initial draft, and the latest version of the script is by Abby Kohn and Marc Silverstein.

09/04 Hathaway goes all orange for ‘Bride Wars’

Anne Hathaway, who plays Emma in chick flick Bride Wars, has a scene where she was made orange by Kate Hudson. The actress, who walked the Fifth Avenue with this look, said that wearing the makeup was an awful experience. “It took an hour to put it on and then a lot of scrubbing and scrubbing in the shower to try to get it off again. I don’t want to think about how much water I wasted and sometimes I would scrub so hard I would reveal bone – only joking. But it was just awful,” Hathaway said in a press statement. The actress said she did feel like a “freak” while walking down the street with the colour on her face. “Walking down Fifth Avenue a shade of bright orange was one of the most surreal moments of my life. We did that shoot a la Tootsie and the camera was hidden and so people just thought I was walking down the street completely orange. The cell phone cameras were coming out all around me and I did feel like a bit of a freak but it’s all for art, I guess,” said Hathaway. “There were a few extras who basically walked in a circle around me so that we could do the shot. But for the main part we just had to put up a sign that said ‘hey, hope you like being in a movie, because you’re in one’” she added.

28/03 Hathaway to play Judy Garland on film and stage

She may have been the biggest surprise at February’s Oscars when she took the stage in a duet with Hugh Jackman. Who knew Anne Hathaway could sing? Harvey Weinstein did. Movie kingpin Harvey Weinstein said he had signed the Oscar-nominated actress to portray singer Judy Garland in both film and stage adaptations of the biography Get Happy: The Life of Judy Garland. In a statement, Weinstein called Hathaway “brilliantly talented” and said “she will be a true class act in this challenging role.” Details of the project were scant. No writer or director is yet on board. Garland, of course, is the legendary movie star of Hollywood’s Golden Age who portrayed Dorothy in 1939’s The Wizard of Oz, starred opposite Mickey Rooney in the Andy Hardy films and was twice Oscar-nominated for roles in A Star is Born and Judgment at Nuremberg. She also enjoyed a long singing career and scored a No. 1 Grammy-winning album with Judy at Carnegie Hall from her 1961 concert at the famous Manhattan venue. Read the rest of this entry »

22/03 Hathaway may play Judy Garland

Actress Anne Hathaway is in talks to play her movie idol Judy Garland in an upcoming film based on Gerald Clarke’s biography, Get Happy: The Life of Judy Garland. The 26-year-old actress is said to be so keen to appear in the movie that she may have to sacrifice other projects, which include a lead role in a comedy called The Fiance, the Daily Mail reported in it’s online edition. The movie charts Judy’s rise to fame and her struggle with drink and drugs. “Anne dearly wants to do a musical and this could be her chance. The big attraction is that it really will be her singing, not recordings of Judy. She is determined to do it justice,” a source said. “If she nails the part, she will be a shoo-in for some big awards,” source added. The Weinstein Company has optioned the film and stage rights to the Garland story. Get Happy: The Life of Judy Garland published in 2000, details how the actress and singer was plagued by personal problems and mistreated by employers, family and lovers. In 1999, the American Film Institute placed her among the ten greatest female stars in the history of American cinema. Garland died in 1969 at the age of 47 due to accidental drug overdose.
