Marilyn Monroe is back in theaters again, this time played by the lovely and brave Michelle Williams, who much like Monroe always seems to be up for pushing herself and taking on a challenge. My Week with Marilyn is not your typical Monroe bio-film, though they throw in a few homages to her iconic dance numbers and songs, this film is really about pulling back the curtain and getting to know what really made Monroe an icon. It wasn’t her curves, it was that mysterious something else that gave her that edge, that sent directors mad, but ultimately made her one of the biggest stars, ever…

Emma Watson is wasting no time with her post-Harry Potter career. The 20 year old is currently enrolled in Brown University and is still acting on the side. The latest film to catch her eye is entitled My Week with Marilyn. It’s directed by Simon Curtis, and is a period piece that centers on, you guessed it Marilyn Monroe. But this isn’t a biopic, it’s an ensemble that has a lot more to offer than its title star.

Early last month we learned that Steven Spielberg was gearing up to direct War Horse, a film based on the Michael Morpurgo novel of the same name. The movie will be a nice change of pace following his high tech production of The Adventures of Tintin: The Secret of the Unicorn, which he just wrapped with co-director Peter Jackson. According to The Playlist, Spielberg’s ready to delve into his new project and has already found his lead actor.

The release of Arthur Cohn’s latest project, The Yellow Handkerchief, is the serendipitous product of what one person’s international success can maneuver. This particular individual is everyone’s favorite disaffected teen, Kristen Stewart, who stars in this Ugayan Prasad directed film. With an outstanding cast that includes both Maria Bello, William Hurt and Eddie Redmayne, The Yellow Handkerchief definitely strays from the conventional blockbuster release – but certainly holds a message worth hearing.

The legendary six-time Oscar winner Arthur Cohn teamed up with British director Udayan Prasad to produce The Yellow Handkerchief, an indie drama hitting theaters nationwide this weekend. The film highlights the lives of three strangers who, through an odd series of events, end up on a road trip through post-Katrina Louisiana in search of a little livin’.
The film was shot two years ago, so it’s easy to assume that the only thing responsible for scoring it’s distribution is the international recognition of co-star Kristen Stewart, who plays Martine, a disaffected teen. Thanks, Twilight! Still, the rest of the cast is pretty stellar with William Hurt, Maria Bello, and Eddie Redmayne whom we had the privilege of sitting down with at a recent press conference.

Looks like Kristen Stewart is trying to differentiate herself from the Twilight series with a Southern drama, a deep Southern accent, and a all-star, Academy Award nominated cast. This is the first I’ve heard of The Yellow Handkerchief although apparently it’s been making it’s way around festivals for some time and finally found a release date. Samuel Goldywn has just released the first official trailer and poster and has been marketing as a “Kristen Stewart film” but I’m more excited about the supporting cast which includes William Hurt, Maria Bello and Eddie Redmayne.
The film was directed by Udayan Prasad, produced by Arthur Cohn, and loosely based on a short story by renowned writer Pete Hamill. Sounds like it’s the little indie that could thanks to Stewarts recent stardom. Check out the poster and trailer below…
