With a December 7, 2012 release date, Les Miserables is about to lock down its cast, and the latest rumored cast members are Amanda Seyfried and Taylor Swift. They could be joining Hugh Jackman, Russell Crowe, Anne Hathaway, and Sacha Baron Cohen in Tom Hooper‘s follow-up to his Oscar winning The King’s Speech.
The Lorax is the fourth film and second animated film based on Dr. Seuss’s children’s books. The problem – and it’s been a problem in all the films – is how to turn a book that runs less than fifty pages with little text into a feature length narrative. For this film, which stars Danny Devito, Zac Efron and Taylor Swift, that means turning the story into an adventure about a young environmentalist. Check out the trailer…
It seems eventually Hollywood will churn out every Dr. Seuss book into a movie, and the latest of the Dr. Seuss classics to hit film form is The Lorax. Added to the cast are Danny DeVito, Taylor Swift and Zac Efron, along with Ed Helms, Rob Riggle and Betty White. Universal will be releasing the picture and the animation will be done by Illumination Entertainment, who were behind Despicable Me and did the CG animation for Hop.
This past weekend something amazing hit the small screen and it came from Saturday Night Live. It’s been a long time since the show has produced a digital short that could make you cry from laughter, but they’ve managed to do so. Country singer Taylor Swift was recently the host and musical guest for the show and pulled off one of the best Twilight spoof’s known to man. It features Swift as Bella, and let’s just say upfront she does a better job in this two minute piece than Kristen Stewart does in the entire franchise.
Take a look at Firelight…
