Uma Thurman Leaks Details About Quentin Tarantino’s Next Film

traviswoods — Mon, 28 Mar 2011 17:38:18 +0000

Quentin Tarantino’s ‘muse,’ Uma Thurman, let some details slip about QT’s upcoming feature, according to Digital Spy, and claims that it will be a western film entitled A Southern (Note: In several interviews, Tarantino has referred to the film’s genre as ‘a southern,’ ie: a western that takes place in the American South, so A Southern may be a misquote on Digital Spy’s part—and ok, I’m flicking my fanboy nerd switch into the off position now).

So says Uma:

“I think he has a script ready to start off a new film, A Southern…I think it’s really exciting. It’s another new story and a fresh piece of material that he is channeling at the moment. So I think Kill Bill lives down the road.”

Thurman is referring to the long-rumored Kill Bill, Volume 3, which is set to be QT’s next film, and revolves around the child of Vivica A. Fox’s character seeking revenge against Uma Thurman’s ‘The Bride.’

Tarantino has already nabbed Christoph Waltz, who won an Oscar for Inglorious Basterds, to star in the new film, which the filmmaker described in 2009 to the New York Daily News as:

“I’d like to do a Western. But rather than set it in Texas, have it in slavery times. With that subject that everybody is afraid to deal with. Let’s shine that light on ourselves.

“You could do a ponderous history lesson of slaves escaping on the Underground Railroad. Or, you could make a movie that would be exciting. Do it as an adventure. A spaghetti Western that takes place during that time. And I would call it a Southern.”

No word yet on any further casting news, but if the gods are good they will please, please, please see fit to make sure that Sam Jackson somehow gets a role in this thing—seriously, I miss the days of his Tarantino badassery. We need you back, Sam.

Uma Thurman Joins Playing the Field With Gerard Butler

Uma Thurman has joined the cast of the athletic, romantic comedy Playing the Field according to Variety. The film is headlined by Gerard Butler, and will feature the Scottish actor in a love triangle with Thurman and Jessica Biel. Yes, Jessica Biel! This is definitely an interesting trio don’t you think? Find out more about the movie…

Playing the Field centers on a professional soccer player (Butler) who decides to coach his son’s youth team. He uses the job as a way to bond with his son, but he ends up dodging the sexual advances of multiple soccer moms instead. The trade reports that Thurman will play the mother of one of the other children on the team, and Biel will star as Butler’s ex-wife. The film will be directed by Gabrielle Muccino.

We don’t have a problem with Thurman and Butler as potential partners in this movie, but Biel? She plays his ex-wife? We’re assuming that she’s also the mother of his son, so how old is this kid exactly? Did Biel’s character have him fresh out of high school? The age difference between the characters is a bit unnerving.

Photos of Robert Pattinson in Bel Ami

Last year it was announced that Robert Pattinson would once again use his sunken cheeks to seduce audiences in his new film, Bel Ami. It’s a period piece that co-stars several veteran actresses including Uma Thurman, Kristin Scott Thomas, and Christina Ricci. Not only will his character be surrounded by ladies but we’re pretty sure he’s going to sleep with 90% of them.

Bel Ami centers on George Duroy (Pattinson), a young journalist who rose from poverty to become one of the most successful men in Paris via the ruthless and calculating bedding of the city’s most glamorous and influential women. Thurman plays the wife of Duroy’s friend, a woman who is extremely involved and connected in the goings-on of Parisian society. She helps Duroy in his ascent, later becoming his wife.

Check out Thurman and Pattinson in heat below…

Pattinson’s character is essentially a man-whore who uses his body and charms to get what he wants. This is a long cry from his honorable alter ego Edward Cullen. How will the Twihards react?! Dun, dun, dun!!!

Bel Ami is directed by Declan Donnellan and Nick Ormerod and is scheduled to hit theaters in 2011.

New Percy Jackson and The Olympians Photos

Krystal Clark — Fri, 05 Feb 2010 02:03:33 +0000

Earlier today we learned that Percy Jackson and The Olympians: The Lightning Thief star Logan Lerman might be up for the role of Peter Parker in the next Spider-Man, but until that news is confirmed we have some photos from his most recent project. We’ve got six high quality production stills taken directly from the film that feature Percy, Grover, Annabeth, and even Medusa.

Percy Jackson and the Olympians is based on the book series of the same name by author, Rick Riordan. The story centered a 12-year-old boy (a teenager in the film) who sets out on a quest in present-day America to rescue his mother, return Zeus’ stolen lightning bolt and prevent a civil war from erupting among the gods.

The movie has an all star cast of gods and goddesses including a trio of godly brothers with Sean Bean as Zeus, Kevin McKidd as Poseidon, and Steve Coogan as Hades. On the lady’s front, Uma Thurman stars as Medusa, Rosario Dawson as Persephone, and Melina Kanakardes as Athena.

The following photos give us a peek at the main characters in action as they battle the elements and the gods to find Zeus’ lighting bolt. If you look closely in the Medusa photo, you’ll notice that she’s become entranced by her own reflection in Percy’s iPhone.

Uma Thurman Joins Robert Pattinson in Bel Ami

Krystal Clark — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 18:04:53 +0000

A few weeks ago we clued you in on Robert Pattinson‘s upcoming feature, Bel Ami. Rumors were circulating that the New Moon star would play a seducer of women opposite Nicole Kidman, but that turned out to be false. According to THR, Uma Thurman will take on the role of the older woman in Pattinson’s life.

Kristen Scott Thomas has also come on board to play a clingy socialite who falls for Duroy in the midst of his rise to the top. The plot for this film will feature several women throwing themselves at Pattinson, which sounds like an average day in his life. The actor’s recent movie choices prove that he wants to branch out from his vampire mold to explore more dramatic material, and this is the perfect place to start.

Uma Thurman Wants to Kill Bill Again

Krystal Clark — Fri, 16 Oct 2009 15:27:04 +0000

Give the people what they want, Uma! Actress Uma Thurman heard about the recent Kill Bill Vol 3 talk from writer-director Quentin Tarantino, and she’s down for the cause. A few weeks ago while overseas, Tarantino appeared on an Italian talk show where he confirmed that he was working on a third film in the series, and he stated that The Bride will fight again!

See what Thurman had to say about reprising her role…

Over at MTV, they spoke to the portrayer of The Bride, and she confirmed that Tarantino has shared some of his development ideas with her, but she can’t go into any specifics on what he disclosed.

“We did chat, we did chat,” she told us. He has not yet finished the script. I don’t even really know if he’s really started it, although I got a taste of some of his ideas and they are really good. He has started to share with me what he was thinking, and it’s awesome.”

From what we’ve heard in the past, the third film may center around the daughter of Vivica Fox’s character Vernita Green as she tries to avenge the death of her mother. Uma wouldn’t go into detail about what she learned, but she did say it would be fun to do another movie.

Uma Thurman has signed on to star in the directorial debut of Max Winkler, according to Variety. The film is a romantic comedy entitled, Ceremony and it will be produced and financed by Nala Films. Winkler, the son of TV icon Henry Winkler, has made waves as a comedy writer in the past few years and is ready to make the transition to director.

The script was written by Winkler, who also co-wrote the upcoming Jonah Hill comedy, The Adventurer’s Handbook. Jason Reitman will serve as an executive producer on Ceremony alongside Dan Dubiecki. Production on the film is set to begin October 21st, on Long Island.

Max Winkler is only 26 years old and has accumulated some pretty decent writing credits on his resume. His keen sense of comedy has become well known throughout the screenwriting community, and he’s finally getting his opportunity to shine as a director. It would be easy to fly into a fit of rage, at the thought of this young whipper snapper having the opportunity to work with Uma Thurman, but he’s earned it.

Uma Thurman Joins Girl Soldier

Krystal Clark — Tue, 21 Jul 2009 15:50:29 +0000

Kill Bill star Uma Thurman is about to take part in another fight, but this time a sword won’t be her weapon of choice. According to Variety, the actress will star in the indie drama Girl Soldier. It’s a film based on the 2004 book “Stolen Angels,” which was written by Kathy Cook. Thurman will star as “a cleric who helped rescue 140 schoolgirls abducted in Uganda.”

“Stolen Angels” takes place in 1996 and focuses on the raid of a boarding school, where young girls were kidnapped by rebels. Their intention was to turn them into prostitutes, sex slaves, and soldiers. One of the teachers at the school, Sister Caroline managed to track down the invaders base camp, and asked for the girls’ release. Over 100 girls were returned to her, and this sparked a revolution to stop not only the trafficking of children in Uganda, but all over the world. Sister Caroline involved the United Nations, The Pope, and even parents to help with her crusade over the next few years.

According to Thurman, “This is a film that had to get made,” Thurman said. “It’s beyond me that in this day and age the exploitation of child soldiers goes virtually unnoticed and unchecked by Western media.” I totally agree. There are so many disturbing things being done to children all over the world, including the U.S. Girl Soldier’s screenplay is written by Stephanie Pinola and Karen Croner.

This sounds like a good dramatic piece for Thurman. I think she’s come a long way as an actress. In her early days she was known for being just a sexy screen presence, but I’m happy that she’s grown into a talented and formidable actress. This could be great for her career.
