NATALIE PORTMAN'S "THE OTHER WOMAN" FINALLY GETS A RELEASE DATE

The Other Woman Poster

Finally!  A Trailer and Poster for Natalie Portman-produced and acted The Other Woman has finally surfaced.  The Independent Film Channel will be distributing the Film, formerly known as Love and Other Impossible Pursuits which screened as a Gala at TIFF 2009.  After struggling with distribution, its release is being timed perfectly now with all the Oscars buzz Portman is getting for Black Swan, seeing a Limited Release in select cities February 1, 2011. 

 

Watch the Trailer below:

I've seen the Film in its original incarnation and thought it was beautifully-acted and Lisa Kudrow shines alongside Portman.  It's a pity it took this long to get a proper release, but better late than never, I say.

TIFF DAY 9 - LOVE AND OTHER IMPOSSIBLE PURSUITS REVIEW

Nothing much to report today other than that I was blown away completely by Natalie Portman's performance in Don Roos' Love and Other Impossible Pursuits. Portman plays Emilia, who falls in love with a lawyer Jack (Scott Cohen) while he is still married to Carolyne (Lisa Kudrow). The story is full of tension as Carolyne makes no mystery about being a jealous ex-wife and controlling mother to her child with Jack, Will (Charlie Tahan). Emilia and Jack also have a child who dies of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome and this adds further strain to their relationship, culminating in a boiling point. Portman plays her part with biting anger that matches her Golden Globe-winning performance in Closer. The film still hasn't found distribution yet and this is a shame because it is a gem truly; it deserves to be seen. I cried four times! Grade: A

I just got back from the red carpet of director Terry Gilliam's The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus, more popularly known as Heath Ledger's last film. It boasts an all-star cast which also includes Johnny Depp, Jude Law, Colin Farrell and Christopher Plummer. Only a few cast members were able to make it out tonight including singer/songwriter Tom Waits, Verne Troyer, Lily Cole and of course the legendary Plummer.

Here are some snaps I got:

I must express my disappointment at how the new red carpet area has been set-up at Roy Thompson Hall. It makes it virtually impossible for fans to interact with the stars and many in attendance also expressed disappointment at this. Perhaps the team at TIFF needs to take note of this as many stars do not even notice the hoards of fans behind them as they exit their Escalades. Not good.
