If you were a fan of Garry Marshall’s romantic ensemble comedy Valentine’s Day, you’re in luck because there’s more where that came from. According to THR, four high profile actors are in negotiations to star in his follow up to the film entitled, New Year’s Eve. What do you think of Robert De Niro, Michelle Pfeiffer, and Hilary Swank getting on this rom-com train?
Based on the highly publicized Kenneth Waters case in Massachusetts, Conviction chronicles the series of events between his 1983 arrest and life sentence up to the 2001 overturn of his conviction. With Oscar hungry performances by Sam Rockwell, Hilary Swank, Minnie Driver, and Juliette Lewis, this tale of unwavering faith and devotion hits theaters this Friday.

This week on theaters, Conviction, the true life story of Betty Anne, a working mother who put herself through law school to save her brother who was wrongfully convicted of murder hit theaters with a bang. Not only is this a drama but it’s a statement on the problems with our system today. Recently we attended a press conference with the director of the film Tony Goldwyn, the writer Pamela Gray, cast members Hilary Swank, Mini Driver, Juliette Lewis and Sam Rockwell and real life hero Betty Anne.
Find out how this massive cast, crew and real life inspiration came together to make Conviction below…
The first trailer has been released for the Tony Goldwyn directed film Conviction, which stars Sam Rockwell and two-time Oscar winner Hilary Swank. In the film they both bring their A-game along with really thick New England accents. The actors tackle some meaty and emotional material in what looks like an obvious awards season contender.

A while ago, we reported that Jeffrey Dean Morgan would star in a thriller entitled The Resident, where he would play the part of a sleazy landlord. Over at ShockTillYouDrop, they’ve released two official photos from the film and his character is a lot creepier than we initially thought.
Take a look at Morgan in The Resident…
The acclaimed ensemble of artists responsible for the utter disappointment that is Amelia proves that Oscars and STARmeters don’t guarantee interminable success in the entertainment industry. Amelia Earhart, a rare spirit who dared to dream in a man’s world is not only one of the primary female American icons, but is accountable for significantly advancing the age of aviation. Translation: excellent foundation for a triumphant biopic!

It’s been a while since we’ve heard or posted anything regarding the upcoming biopic, Amelia. Based on the life of legendary pilot Amelia Earhart, the film stars two time Oscar winner Hilary Swank in the title role. The film is directed by Mira Nair, and will hit theaters on October 23rd, just in time for awards season. We have several new photos from the film that feature Swank alongside Nair, and co-stars Ewan McGregor and Richard Gere.

I’m happy to get an official look at two time Oscar winner Hilary Swank in the upcoming biopic, Amelia. It seems like she wrapped filming on it ages ago, and we just got a trailer back in June. Over at Latino Review they’ve got a copy of the first feature poster for the film which stars Swank as the legendary pilot Amelia Earhart. The cast also includes Richard Gere as her husband George Putnam, and Ewan McGregor as her lover Gene Vidal. Amelia is directed by Mira Nair, and will hit theaters this fall on October 23.

The first official trailer for Mira Nair‘s (Moonsoon Wedding, The Namesake) new film, Amelia has been released by Fox Searchlight. The film is a biopic about the aviator, Amelia Earhart, starring Hilary Swank in the leading role. The film stars Richard Gere, Ewan McGregor, Virginia Madsen, Joe Anderson, Christopher Eccleston, and Mia Wasikowska.
Judging by the trailer, the film looks promising. The film looks like it is shot beautifully and Mira Nair is a talented director. I happen to be a fan of Moonsoon Wedding. However, I am a little on the fence about it. Of all female actresses, Hilary Swank is most fitting to star as Amelia Earhart, but the trailer looks a bit overly sappy. I am a little weary by the fact that it stars Richard Gere; any film that has Richard Gere and a semi-romantic, sub-plot seems to get so sappy. This movie might have an issue with Richard Gere, but I could be totally wrong.
