REVIEW: "YOUNG ADULT"

Still from Young Adult

Divorced, depressed and possibly alcoholic Teen-Fiction Ghostwriter Mavis (Charlize Theron) decides to return to her Hometown of Mercury after failing to find inspiration for her latest Book. After receiving an E-mail announcing the birth of her Ex-boyfriend Buddy's (Patrick Wilson) Daughter, she tries rekindling a Romance with him knowing fully that he is married to his Wife Beth (Elizabeth Reaser). Mavis however, is convinced that he is miserable and feels she would be liberating him. Along the way, she crosses paths with a crippled Matt (Patton Oswalt), whom she paid little mind to in High School where she was a popular Mean Girl. Together they form an unlikely friendship, bonding over Alcohol as Mavis continues her mission to sabotage Buddy's marriage.

Writer Diablo Cody and Director Jason Reitman who both brought us 2007's superb Juno, reunite once again for Young Adult.  Although the results aren't quite as compelling as the first time around, this still is an interesting Character Study which is three-parts darkly humorous and one-part heartfelt.

Admittedly it is challenging to root for someone as negative, narcissistic and cruel as Mavis, but Theron sells us on her completely.  She takes us on a learning experience where even though we don't see her grow necessarily, we still do see her discover herself after seeing some buried regrets in her life  unraveled.  This definitely is the Oscar Winner's best work in quite some time, helping us forget some of her more recent misfires.  Oswalt also finally gets his coveted Plum Role here and is a delight to watch as a damaged soul who never quite got-over his High School traumas. 

Paramount Pictures' Young Adult is now in-theatres and although might not be for all, it is a good kind of strange. 

FIRST TRAILER: "PROMETHEUS"

Still from Prometheus

The first official Trailer for Sir Ridley Scott's Prometheus finally has surfaced after a series of three Teasers released over the past week. The Film, which has Scott doing Sci-fi for the first time since Blade Runner (1982) and Alien (1979), the latter for which this is a Prequel. Although there originally was talk of this filming partly at Toronto's newly-upgraded Pinewood Studios, alas that amounted only to a rumour as per the Studio itself.

After a team of Explorers work to trace the origins of Mankind, they wind-up getting involved in a fight for the survival Human Race. Michael Fassbender, Charlize Theron, Noomi Rapace, Guy Pearce, Logan Marshall-Green, Idris Elba and Patrick Wilson all are a part of this great-looking Cast. 20th Century Fox releases on June 8, 2012.

Without giving much away, the minute-long Trailer is pulsating with a terrifying sense of Catastrophe.

Watch the Trailer in full below:

"SNOW WHITE AND THE HUNTSMAN": FIRST TRAILER

Still from Snow White and The Huntsman

Wow!  I had high expectations for Rupert Sanders' Snow White and the Huntsman, but I never expected it to look this good.  Although we don't really see much here of Kristen Stewart as Snow White, Charlize Theron as The Evil Queen gives us plenty and them some, making us remember why it is that she won that Oscar back in 2004 with Monster.  Perhaps that bit of a break that she took a couple years back paid off as she's showing that fire again that we haven't seen in her last handful of Films.

The Premise of Snow White and the Huntsman is that The Evil Queen hires The Huntsman (Chris Hemsworth) to take Snow White into the Woods to be killed.  He however, winds-up protecting her from The Queen, causing all sorts of Drama.  Rule of Thumb: don't piss-off The Queen.

GEORGE STROUMBOULOPOULOS PREMIERES "YOUNG ADULT" IN TORONTO

Diablo Cody & Jason Reitman at TIFF 2009

Surprise! After one week of publicizing what would be known only as the #SecretMovie on Twitter, this evening at TIFF Bell Lightbox, CBC Personality/Hunk George Stroumboulopoulos finally revealed before approximately 1,000 Moviegoers at 7:30 PM tonight that it would be none other than Jason Reitman's latest Film, Young Adult being premiered.  The turnout had been so overwhelming that two theatres had to be utilized to meet the demand of those who queued for hours in what can be called a v. successful social media marketing experiment.

Joining-in on the surprise were the same Director/Writer Duo behind Oscar-winning 2007 Comedy Juno, Jason Reitman and Diablo Cody, dropping by to introduce the Film and a Q&A afterward.  The Dramedy stars Charlize Theron a Teen-Fiction Writer who returns to her Hometown in hopes of recapturing the heart of her High School Sweetheart played by Patrick Wilson, who just happens to now be married. She reunites with another High School Buddy played by Patton Oswalt, who also has never quite gotten over his High School phase.  Young Adult will be released by Paramount Pictures in Limited Release on December 9, 2011.  Word is TIFF Bell Lightbox will be playing the Film.

Toronto Screeners had mostly positive things to say about Young Adult, with much praise learning towards Oscar Winner Theron for her performance as Mavis and also Oswalt.  See what they said:

@leoraheilbronn Tweets, "No Oscars here. Excellent turn by Charlize though."

@sajak555 Tweets, "Kinda odd, but enjoyed it."

@CFCCreates Tweets, "YOUNG ADULT was stellar! @JasonReitman @diablocody should be proud!".

Brad Tweets, "They should stop marketing this as a Comedy.  Theron and Oswalt were great. I'm a fan of Diablo Cody (mostly United States of Tara), but this felt very different, odd even.".

Watch the Trailer for Young Adult below:

NEW PHOTOS FROM "SNOW WHITE AND THE HUNTSMAN"

Kristen Stewart as Snow White

Although Director Rupert Sanders has yet to begin filming for this eagerly-awaited Snow White and the Huntsman, one of two Snow White movies to hit theatres in 2012, he took to Comic-Con in San Diego with his Principal Cast to create a little bit of buzz. 

With filming slated to begin next week in the UK, Sanders brought three days' worth of test footage to show the audience, giving them an idea what the 3-D Film will be like, in addition to revealing some new photos of Cast members Kristen Stewart, Charlize Theron, Sam Claflin and Chris Hemsworth in-costume.

Right at the start of the Conference, Academy Award winner Theron (who just might be appearing at TIFF in September with Jason Reitman's Young Adult), told Stewart "I’m ready for it bitch, let’s go.".  Theron of course will be playing Stewart's (Snow White) nemesis The Queen.  This sure ain't Disney. 

Take a look at the Photos below:

CHARLIZE THERON & PRINCE HARRY CAUGHT HUGGING

Charlize Theron & Prince Harry on Marie Claire UK

Prince Harry and Charlize Theron were spotted exchanging hugs this weekend at the Audi Challenge Charity Polo Cup in Berkshire. In addition to being big supporters of the fight against HIV in Africa, you might recall that Theron is said to be in talks to play Harry’s late Mother, Princess Diana in an upcoming Biopic for which details are still being kept under wraps.

Perhaps research for the role at long last is beginning?  Theron's schedule appears to have freed-up a bit since she is no longer attached to Snow White and the Huntsman 3-D, which films in Montreal.

There is lots of buzz surrounding Theron’s next Film Young Adult from Director Jason Reitman, whose last three Features have premiered at TIFF. Perhaps we’ll be seeing Theron in Toronto this September?

See the Photos of Theron and Prince Harry at Marie Claire UK.

MICHAEL FASSBENDER, CHARLIZE THERON AND NOOMI RAPACE MOVIE "PROMETHEUS" FILMING IN TORONTO

Michael Fassbender

Sneaky sneaky. The Hollywood Reporter reveals that Sir Ridley Scott has actually already begun Production for his latest Film Prometheus in Toronto based upon the mythological Story of a Man who stole fire from the god Zeus and as a result is punished by torture, making an Eagle eat his liver daily only for it to keep growing back. Plot details are under lock and key.  Did you know?  I didn't know.

The Film will star handsome Irish Actor Michael Fassbender (Inglourious Basterds, Hunger), Oscar-winning Charlize Theron and hotly-tipped Swedish Actress Noomi Rapace (The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo). Filming is taking place at new-improved Pinewood Studios over the next three weeks, where the upcoming Total Recall Film starring Colin Farrell will also be done.

Please start sending me your sightings.  I know I'll be on the lookout!

UPDATE: I have reached-out to Pinewood Studios in Toronto and they have confirmed that the above is in fact only a rumour.  A Studio Representative replied, "Yes, we saw that (The Hollywood Reporter's post). It’s completely false. We have no idea where they got that info from… But it certainly wasn’t us.".  So there you have it - sorry to be the bearer of bad news, Mavenati!

LEONARDO DiCAPRIO & CLINT EASTWOOD TO TEAM ON J. EDGAR HOOVER BIOPIC

Clyde Tolson & J. Edgar Hoover

An exciting bit of news here. Clint Eastwood and Leonardo DiCaprio are teaming up together for the first time to make a Biopic about J. Edgar Hoover, the first ever Director to the Bureau of Investigation, eventually known as the FBI. Known mostly for his controversial tactics in obtaining evidence and directives, Hoover oversaw the investigation to John F. Kennedy's assassination.  He also was rumoured to have been romantically involved with his second-in-line, Clyde Tolson.

The Film, J. Edgar, is a Warner Bros. production and on that same note, Hoover served also as a consultant to that Company when required for research purposes during the '60s.

J. Edgar will star DiCaprio in the lead role of Hoover, while The Social Network's breakout star Armie Hammer will star as Tolson. Charlize Theron also will star in the project too which will soon begin production.  Dustin Lance Black who penned the amazing Oscar-winning Screenplay for Milk is attached also here.  Oscars Gold.

WIN A DATE WITH CHARLIZE THERON FOR $20K

Charlize Theron in South Africa

More reasons to love her. Although Charlize Theron has been away from the spotlight while filming Jason Reitman's latest project Young Adult, much of her time has been devoted to her own Charity.

The Charlize Theron Africa Outreach Project which benefits at-risk Children in South Africa and Communities suffering from HIV/AIDS, held a Benefit last night at New York City's The Darby Restaurant and one of the items being raffled off were a pair of tickets to a Lakers Game. Male Bidders offered to double their bids apparently should Theron agree to be their date.  Finally she confirmed she would attend for a minimum bid of $20,000 US.

I wonder who the lucky Dog was....

JustJared posted photos from the evening here.

KEIRA KNIGHTLEY AND CHARLIZE THERON BOTH TAPPED TO PLAY PRINCESS DIANA

Princess Diana

How exciting.  Fans of beloved Princess Diana will be thrilled to know that two films are in-the-works timed around what would be her 50th Birthday next July.  The first project is rumoured to be coming from Pathé Films with Keira Knightley in talks to portray Diana,  focusing on many aspects of her troubled life starting from her youth up to her tragic death in August 1997.  Helen Mirren is in talks to play her mother Frances Shand Kydd.

Charlize Theron is also said to be in talks to star in the film adaptation of her Bodyguard Ken Wharfe's tell-all Diana: Closely Guarded Secret, which centers on Diana's relationship with him.  Producer Stephen Evans (Confessions of a Dangerous Mind) is attached to the project and Ewan McGregor is the leading candidate to play the role of Wharfe.  Think: The Bodyguard but instead with less songs, even more Drama and... Royalty!

CHARLIZE THERON TAPPED TO STAR IN REITMAN/CODY'S YOUNG ADULT

Stunning Charlize Theron has been rather quiet of late but this will step thrust her back in the spotlight in no time. Director Jason Reitman (Up in the Air, Juno) and screenwriter Diablo Cody (Juno, The United States of Tara) are reuniting after much success together with 2007's Juno. Deadline.com reports that their new project Young Adult will star Oscar winner Theron, who will play a Ghost Writer of novels for young adults. Feeling a loss of self-identity, she decides to reunite with some of her High School friends and try to fulfill some of the dreams they had which never came true. The film will be a joint production between Mandate Pictures and John Malkovich's Mr. Mudd. Production tentatively is set to begin this November.

As an aside, Cody just welcomed a new baby boy into this world last week named Marcello Daniel Maurio and I did get to meet her at TIFF last fall when she was promoting Jennifer's Body.  I can confirm she's just delightful. I'm baffled how she divides her time between all these projects and balancing being a mother!
