Oh dear. We’re going to be getting two competing Snow White pictures in 2012, in the summer there’s one starring Kristen Stewart and Charlize Theron with a more grungy and battle-worn approach, but first there’s going to be Mirror Mirror in March. It’s fair to say both are going for completely different takes on the material – for the trailer for the Julia Roberts, Armie Hammer, Lily Collins film it seems they went a bit campy. Check it out…

Tom Hanks and Julia Roberts are movie stars in a world that no longer respects stardom. Studios are more interested these days in titles that have name brand recognition (it requires less work) and so the two appearing together in a film in 2011 means that it’s met with a curious indifference. Shouldn’t Larry Crowne be a bigger deal? Well, like the film itself, the appeal is mellow and surprisingly unassuming, and it’s pleasures are more in what it’s not (loud and dumb) than what it is (a formulaic romantic comedy). Find out more below…

It’s strange that two of the biggest stars in the world are making a low key romantic comedy, but such is the industry. When Julia Roberts rocketed to the A-list, it was because of her role in the hundred million dollar hit Pretty Woman, while Tom Hanks cemented his leading man status with a film like Sleepless in Seattle. Hanks and Roberts partnered together for Larry Crowne – Hanks’s second directorial effort – and their chemistry together is as palpable in the film as it is in this interview. Check it out…

“Tom Hanks and Julia Roberts, together at last!” That’s the marketing hook for Hanks’s film Larry Crowne, which he co-wrote and directed – or at least what’s supposed to be appealing about this. Then again, they were in Charlie Wilson’s War together, and that disappeared. The first trailer played up the idea of a man (Hanks) starting his life over after being laid off, this new trailer goes less with the melancholy, and more the yuks by playing up the presence of George Takei and Cedric the Entertainer. Check it out…

Universal is releasing Larry Crowne - which was co-written, directed and stars Tom Hanks - on July 1. In the film he appears alongside Julia Roberts with a murderer’s row of support, including Breaking Bad‘s Bryan Cranston, Oscar nominee Taraji P. Henson, Blaxploitation legend Pam Grier, and comedians Cedric the Entertainer and Rob Riggle. The film is about a middle aged man reinventing himself after he gets laid off, and – maybe, just maybe – finding love. At once it’s obvious that this is a movie starring two of the biggest A-listers on the planet, but it’s also strange to see a character-driven dramedy released in the action-packed summer months. Take a look at the trailer…

The Academy better watch out because Julia Roberts is on the prowl. The actress, who won an Oscar in the past for her performance in Erin Brockovich, is actively campaigning for someone other than herself. She wants to see her good friend and Eat Pray Love co-star Javier Bardem get some much deserved recognition for his work in his latest film Biutiful.

Julia Roberts and Meryl Streep will be teaming up for a project together called August: Osage County. If the title sounds familiar it’s because it’s a feature adaptation of the play of the same name. Both actresses have previously appeared on the Broadway stage and are definitely capable of handling the material.
