Hey guys! First of all I want to apologize for the lack of updates. Life has been extremely busy so updating this site was not a priority. That will change though I will start catching up this week but for now I have screencaptures of Rosamund in the movie Burning Palms. I really liked this movie and Rosamund was great as always!

The trailer for Rosamund Pike’s new movie Johnny English Reborn is out and it looks great. Rosamund is only featured for like one second (if you blink, she’s gone) but it is still a great trailer.

Updates will return shortly!

Rosamund Pike and Diane Kruger (Inglourious Basterds) are in early talks to star in The Godmother.

The Godmother is an adaptation of Carrie Adams’ novel of the same name and follows Tessa, the childless serial godmother of the title, as she grapples with the problems of her friends, while questioning her no-strings-attached lifestyle.

Justin Chadwick (The Other Boleyn Girl) is attached to direct from a script penned by Oscar-winning writer Ron Bass (My Best Friend’s Wedding).

Unanimous Pictures will produce with filming expected to commence mid-2011.

Paul Giamatti and Rosamund Pike star as husband and wife (for a time) in “Barney’s Version,” the adaptation of Mordecai Richler’s novel about an older man reflecting on his successful but troubled life. The Los Angeles Times caught up with each of them to talk about their new movie, the absence of character movies, changing notions of masculinity and the pros and cons of facial hair.

Q. Why do you think we see so few character-driven films like “Barney’s Version” these days?

Rosamund Pike: “It’s because the smart, intelligent adults who are its audience are not the people who are going to make box-office gold. There’s just not enough of them as there are teenagers who will go and see ‘Twilight.’ I also think people don’t observe people so closely anymore. And we’re not living in the 1970s, that’s the other thing. If we were living in the 1970s, ‘Barney’s’ would be a mainstream studio movie.”

Paul Giamatti: “A movie like ‘Barney’s Version’ doesn’t have a gimmick, which is tricky to pull off these days. It hearkens back to the 1970s movies like (Paul Mazursky’s comedy-drama) ‘An Unmarried Woman.’ I’d like to think there’s more room for things like that. My idea of having a production company is because I’m interested in doing these smaller things. I’d like to think there’s more room for things like that.”

Q. This movie feels like it fits into a larger group of films about men who have the outward trappings of maturity but are really quite scared and childlike inside. What do you think that’s about?

PG: “At one point, Rosamund’s character says to mine, ‘You’re still a child.’ There is a lot of that going on in movies. Certainly the guys in ‘Sideways’ are growing up uncomfortably. Judd Apatow has these child-men. There’s a weird refusal to grow up in movies. I don’t know generationally what that (means).”

RP: “I think the idea of the alpha male has gone out. Although I’m still looking for one.”
