Blind Item #12

This A list mostly movie actress, who is an Academy Award winner/nominee is refusing to do any more press for her current movie when it opens in other countries. It was a huge bomb here and she wants nothing to do with it any longer.

*Anne Hathaway

AnnE always looks so brittle to me, like she's on the edge of a monumental meltdown from which she'll never recover. That sense makes me uneasy - I keep waiting for her to explode.

The Intern? Gone are the days when DeNiro's name guaranteed money in the bank. I think he killed that off with The Meets (Parents & Fockers). He's done some really crappy stuff for a quick buck in the 21st century.

Derek Harvey said...

The Intern actually did well

so I will guess Charlize Theron in Dark Places

sandybrook said...

DeNiro has no f*cks to give about making good movies now

Derek Harvey said...

According to IMDB the budget for The Intern was 35 million and it has made 60 million

Tricia13 said...

So true:( I can't even watch half the stuff for free on cable that he's done over the years like Grudge Match Etc,Surprising and unsettling.Even the face of TriBeCa FF changed- the programming, participants etc.Its on the way out, likely--- or being-- restructured to put it nicely.

Kno Won Uno said...

It's in permanent rotation on DirecTV along with Blake Lively's Age of Adeline (blechety blech blech)

Kno Won Uno said...

I meant Dark Places was in permanent rotation. I loved the book, I hope it doesn't suck because I might actually watch it. I think they followed Gone Girl too quickly, should have waited a bit.

Derek Harvey said...

or Emma Stone---Aloha---is that released over seas yet?

Derek Harvey said...

yeah it is hard to say what is playing over seas or not---but it definetly can't be The Intern

MontanaMarriott said...

Jessica Chastain/Crimson Peak

MontanaMarriott said...

I LOOOOVED THE BOOK but the movie was doomed from the start, I mean CT as Libby??!! Yeah it was sucky to say the least.

Kno Won Uno said...

Oooh...*AND* Rachel McAdams also in that movie. Why'd they even agree to do it?

Kno Won Uno said...

I can see her refusing, actually. The movie cost $73 million (production & advertising) and only made $13.1 million in the US. That's pretty bad.

Derek Harvey said...

Cameron Crowe I guess

Kno Won Uno said...

I didn't see Gone Girl because I thought it looked different from the book and that tends to piss me off.
Have you read The Girl on the Train? Same basic genre - really, really good.

Derek Harvey said...

I dig it

Derek Harvey said...

I always forget about Jessica---she is a good actress but BORING

Kno Won Uno said...

And I can't figure out what she did to her face, but it's definitely different and to matchy-matchy with everyone else now.

texasrose said...

The Intern with DeNiro and Hathaway is a hit. Not her.

texasrose said...

She must have needed a paycheck. This movie had bomb written all over it.

hothotheat said...

Rooney Mara or Amanda Seyfried - Pan. Budget $150,000,000, gross so far $27,000,000.

DoctorMaybe said...

Crimson Peak was criminally mismarketed, but, yeah, I'm betting this is Chastain.

Kno Won Uno said...

Hahaha! I forgot that one because it was such a non-event.

French girl said...

Already released in France ( for example) since 3 weeks

MontanaMarriott said...

No not yet, I hope to pick it up after I finish this last book of a trilogy I am currently reading.

Today Page Six reports that Truth with cate Blanchett is a huge bomb in the US. Got mixed reviews too. It would make sense that she wants nothing to do if she starts campaigning for Carol. She can’t compete with herself, so she has to choose, and she should choose the one with at least the critical acclaim, because neither carol is set to be a commercial success, more like a niche film, like most of Blanchett’s artsy fartsy Oscar baits, as Tarantino would say.

Yeahsure said...

My bet is on Chastain, too. And it was mis-marketed because GDT couldn't figure out whether it was a gothic romance or a camp horror story, and the result was a mess. If he'd worried as much about the script as he did about the OTT sets, the film might have done better.

Sadie said...

Sounds like Cate. Truth bombed and is of little interest abroad where nobody knows who Dan Rather is.

Cate's shown how brutally ambitious she is over the last couple of years. She's not going to invest her precious time promoting something that won't get her anything.

Sge said...

Truth is only in 6 theaters throughout the country so far, so I don't see how they can call it a bomb, but the media always loves to spin things. She's getting Oscar buzz for both her new films.

back again said...

I saw it...meh.

Where is the " foreign born" in the blind?
