ANNA KARENINA is an adaptation of the famous novel [...]

Anna Karenina Movie Review

Friday, November 30th, 2012

ANNA KARENINA is the beautiful film adaptation of Leo Tolstoy’s 1877 novel of the same name.  Brilliantly crafted, director Joe Wright smartly unfolds this story in the most creative way possible. Captivating audiences from the start with the spectacular set design and fantastic rhythm, it is inevitable that you will be drawn into the passion [...]

Keira Knightley and Aaron Johnson star in new clips from Anna Karenina

Tuesday, November 6th, 2012

Even though Joe Wright’s upcoming film ANNA KARENINA seems to be on a lot of people’s must see list this year, it’s hasn’t gotten nearly the marketing and promotional campaign it deserves. Critics have given great reviews on the film as well as for the acting from Keira Knightley, Jude Law, Aaron Johnson and Matthew [...]

Brad Pitt stars in the Chanel No. 5 commercial directed by Joe Wright

Monday, October 15th, 2012

Chanel No. 5 is putting out another star-studded commercial, and this time they have recruited Brad Pitt to stand in front of the camera while director Joe Wright (ANNA KARENINA) works from behind the lens. Of all the celebrity commercials I’ve seen in the last couple of years, this is by far and away the [...]

Aaron Johnson, Keira Knightley and Kelly Macdonald in new photos from Anna Karenina

Tuesday, September 18th, 2012

Another set of photos have been released for the upcoming Joe Wright film ANNA KARENINA, and just like everything else we’ve seen from the film, these shots are beautiful. The costumes, settings and lighting make me want to see this film alone, add in the excellent cast and it’ll be tough for ANNA KARENINA to [...]

Keira Knightley, Jude Law and Aaron Johnson get their own posters for Anna Karenina

Friday, August 31st, 2012

I get the feeling that Focus Features is excited with what they have on their hands with Joe Wright’s ANNA KARENINA.  It could easily be perceived as a typical period piece and dumped in the middle of all the other Oscar chasing movies of the holiday season, but the marketing team seems to be taking [...]

Keira Knightley and Aaron Johnson in new photos from Anna Karenina

Monday, August 6th, 2012

This fall/winter audiences will be seeing a lot of period dramas and one to look out for is Joe Wright’s ANNA KARENINA starring Keira Knightley, Aaron Johnson and Jude Law. Based on the novel by Leo Tolstoy, ANNA KARENINA follows the love story of a woman in the upper class of Russian society who falls [...]

Keira Knightley, Jude Law and Aaron Johnson are featured in a new Anna Karenina featurette

Friday, July 27th, 2012

I like the approach Focus Features is taking with Joe Wright’s ANNA KARENINA with Keira Knightley and Jude Law.  Normally I would complain that releasing so many stills, clips, trailers and featurettes five months before a film’s release is a waste of time, but in the case of ANNA KARENINA, it makes sense.  It’s important [...]

Keira Knightley, Jude Law and Aaron Johnson give us a new six minute Anna Karenina clip

Monday, July 23rd, 2012

A new clip from Joe Wright’s upcoming film ANNA KARENINA has been released, and though it’s a little fuzzy (oh how spoiled I am by HD) it’s quite an impressive clip. What’s most impressive is how Joe Wright shot ANNA KARENINA. According to his introduction, he did almost all of the shooting in an old [...]

Keira Knightley, Aaron Johnson and Jude Law in new images from Anna Karenina

Thursday, February 23rd, 2012

New pics from Joe Wright’s experimental take on ANNA KARENINA have debuted courtesy of Focus Features.  In case you’ve forgotten, director Joe Wright (ATONEMENT, HANNA) is doing something different with this film by shooting almost the entire movie on a single stage.  Although we can’t tell from these pictures, Wright is using toys, models and [...]

Keira Knightley, Aaron Johnson and Jude Law in the first images from Anna Karenina

Tuesday, January 31st, 2012

Even though I’ve loved all of Joe Wright’s films so far, I left off ANNA KARENINA from my list of most anticipated movies in 2012 because I had little interest in another costume drama, especially one that we’ve seen a few times on film before.  However, that was before news broke that the film is [...]

Hanna, starring Saoirse Ronan and Eric Bana coming to Blu-ray in September

Saturday, July 16th, 2011

Posted by: Brad Sturdivant Along with THE ADJUSTMENT BUREAU, I thought HANNA was one of the best sleeper hits of the Spring.  It’s curious that they were both released by Universal.  Maybe they should re-think the way they market their movies.  But in case you missed it in theaters, HANNA is coming to Blu-ray on [...]

Saoirse Ronan joins Keira Knightley in Joe Wright’s Anna Karenina

Saturday, June 4th, 2011

Posted by: Brad Sturdivant If I were a director in Hollywood, I’d do exactly what Joe Wright has been doing and that’s cast Saoirse Ronan and Keira Knightley in everything I do.  They’re two of my favorite actresses and they’ve proven that they can pull off tough material and give characters depth they wouldn’t otherwise [...]

Hanna (starring Saoirse Ronan)

Monday, April 11th, 2011

Arnold Schwarzenegger, Sylvester Stallone, Bruce Willis…Saoirse Ronan?  Although a pale, 16 year-old girl may not be your idea of an action star, Ms. Ronan was impressive as the super-trained action hero Hanna.  Following in the footsteps of last year’s KICK-ASS, in which a 13 year-old Chloe Moretz busted heads as the crime fighter Hit-girl, Hanna [...]

James McAvoy and Saoirse Ronan may join Anna Karenina

Wednesday, April 6th, 2011

Posted by: Kristy Sturdivant One thing about director Joe Wright- he is loyal to his actors and actresses. With his next film HANNA coming out this weekend, he’s been making the interview rounds and has confirmed that a couple more thespians have joined the cast of his upcoming adaptation of Leo Tolstoy’s ANNA KARENINA. Looks [...]

Keira Knightley in the Chanel Coco Mademoiselle commercial from director Joe Wright

Monday, March 21st, 2011

Posted by: Kristy Sturdivant It’s all the rage in Hollywood to do commercials that are like mini-movies for designer perfumes and clothing, so it’s no surprise that Keira Knightley has re-teamed with her ATONEMENT director Joe Wright for one such commercial. Check out the latest ad from Chanel Coco Mademoiselle featuring Keira Knightley cruising around [...]

Kick-Ass’ Aaron Johnson and Jude Law may join Keira Knightley in Anna Karenina

Friday, March 18th, 2011

Posted by: Kristy Sturdivant Director Joe Wright’s next film HANNA hasn’t even opened in theaters and he’s already hard at work on his next project ANNA KARENINA, such is the life of a great Hollywood director. Right now a couple of actors are in talks to join Keira Knightley in the film based on the [...]

Joe Wright hopes to re-team with Kiera Knightley for Anna Karenina in the fall

Tuesday, March 1st, 2011

Posted by: Kristy Sturdivant Joe Wright’s next film HANNA starring Saoirse Ronan, Eric Bana and Cate Blanchett opens in theaters on April 8, 2011, but the director is thinking ahead to his next big project ANNA KARENINA. The film has been in the works for some time and the screenplay is all ready to go [...]

Saoirse Ronan in a new poster for Hanna

Tuesday, January 25th, 2011

Posted by: Kristy Sturdivant After LEON: THE PROFESSIONAL was such a success because audiences loved Natalie Portman (who was like 13 at the time) as a teenage assassin, it’s surprising that we haven’t seen more pre-teen/teen assassin films. We have to wait no longer as one of the most anticipated films (in my book anyway) [...]

Saoirse Ronan, Eric Bana and Cate Blanchett in the Hanna trailer

Tuesday, December 21st, 2010

Posted by: Brad Sturdivant I wasn’t sure what to expect when I found out Joe Wright was making a movie about a pre-teen assassin.  But then I remembered that I’m a huge fan of Joe Wright and the idea of him doing an action movie about a young girl fighting her way through Europe while [...]

First Picture of Saoirse Ronan in Joe Wright’s Hanna

Friday, April 23rd, 2010

Posted by: Brad Sturdivant Believe it or not, HANNA is one of my more anticipated movies of 2011.  I’m a huge fan of Joe Wright and the young Saoirse Ronan just seems like a natural fit to play a CIA-trained, young assassin.  Below is the first picture of the starlet in full Hanna getup and [...]

The Soloist

Friday, February 12th, 2010

THE SOLOIST is an odd film in that it constantly borders on being a little too preachy and a little too boring.  With two of the better actors working today and a great up and coming director, I expected an acting showcase with each star trying to outdo the other.  Although the acting was great, [...]

Eric Bana joins Saoirse Ronan in Joe Wright’s Hanna

Friday, February 5th, 2010

Posted by: Brad Sturdivant Eric Bana will be traveling to Germany where filming is set to start on the Joe Wright action film HANNA.  In it, Saoirse Ronan plays a young girl raised in a CIA camp that’s raised to be a killing machine.  But when she befriends a local French family, she realizes her [...]

Saoirse Ronan to star in Joe Wright’s Hanna

Thursday, January 7th, 2010

Posted by: Kristy Sturdivant Saoirse Ronan is in negotiations to play a teenage assassin in Joe Wright’s film HANNA.  The film is about a young girl who is raised to be an assassin but when she befriends a family with a girl her age she discovers a different world.  When she is dragged back to [...]

Cate Blanchett’s Indian Summer put on hold by Universal

Tuesday, October 20th, 2009

Posted by: Kristy The tough economic times are hitting everyone these days (side: aren’t things supposed to be getting better soon?) and Hollywood is no exception.  The upcoming Joe Wright (ATONEMENT) directed film, INDIAN SUMMER was put on hold indefinitely because the budget is too much for Universal to take on right now.  Also, along [...]

Atonement

Thursday, September 17th, 2009

If you watch enough movies, every now and again there will be a film that will come along and wow you with how wonderful it is. Typically, these films touch you on an emotional level, whether that is sadness, happiness, fear or even love. When we find these films, it’s a special moment and for [...]
