2011 GOLDEN GLOBE NOMINEES ANNOUNCED


Golden Globe Award
Nominees for the 68th annual Golden Globe Awards were announced earlier today and the Hollywood Foreign Press Assocation made some good choices and some odd ones too in honouring the best in both Television and Film.  The King's Speech led all others with a total seven nominations, while The Fighter and The Social Network followed behind closely with six each.

Nominees for Best Motion Picture, Drama include Black Swan, The Fighter, Inception, The King's Speech and The Social Network - all excellent and deserving choices.  The HFPA however, raised a few eyebrows for Best Motion Picture, Musical or Comedy with choices like Alice in Wonderland 3-D, Burlesque, The Tourist and Red, showing signs that perhaps this category has outgrown its name? The clear-cut favourite here would be The Kids Are All Right, looking like a shoe-in for the win against these.

The match for Best Director is a competitive one with finalists which including Darren Aronofsky (Black Swan), David Fincher (The Social Network), Tom Hooper (The King's Speech), Christopher Nolan (Inception) and David O. Russell (The Fighter) - all deserving of the win.

"THE TOURIST" FALLS SHORT AS "NARNIA" SOARS; "BLACK SWAN" AND "THE FIGHTER" WOW AT BOX OFFICE


Still from The Tourist
Yikes. Despite high hopes for Sony Pictures' seemingly sure-fire hit The Tourist starring Johnny Depp and Angelina Jolie, Deadline reports that the Action-Drama looks like it will only bring in about $18.5 million. Keep in mind though that despite its in Wide Release, it is showing on only 2,756 Screens compared to this Weekend's expected Box Office Champion Chronicles of Narnia: Voyage of Dawn Teader 3-D. The latest in the series of Children's Book adaptations likely will pull in $28.5 million by end of day Sunday.  Reviews for both are mixed to negative according to Critical aggregate Rotten Tomaotes.

Last week's top Film Disney's Tangled 3-D pulled in $3.4 million last night, which will place it in third overall with $14.5 million approximately. Surprisingly still in-the-money is Christina Aguilera and Cher's  Burlesque, which likely will  pull-in $3.2 million in by end of Weekend; good enough to land it in sixth but still not enough to recoup its $55 million spent in production costs.

All eyes are Fox Searchlight's Black Swan which continues to wow. Expanding only to 90 theatres yesterday, it still brought in $925k. Expect it to place in eighth with $3 million. 

Boiling under is The Fighter which premiered last night in New York City with Amy Adams and Mark Wahlberg in attendance, earning a stellar $90k from just four theatres as the "Irish" Mickey Ward-centered Biopic debuted in Limited Release. Expect big things as buzz is feverish and don't forget to check back tomorrow for pics from its Toronto Premiere right here.

ANGELINA JOLIE TO LAUNCH NEW JEWELRY COLLECTION


Still from The Tourist
Angelina Jolie and upscale brand Asprey are re-teaming to launch a Collection which will be sold to exclusive Clientele only, as reported by Women's Wear Daily.

Jolie and her partner Brad Pitt previously colalborated with Asprey in 2009 on a collection which consisted of Snake-themed pieces. All proceeds from this new Collection will be donated to her Charity, Education Partnership for Children of Conflict. The Foundation is currently devoting much of its resources to the children of Haiti.

It is said some of these creations (like the one seen above) can be seen in her upcoming Film alongside Johnny Depp - The Tourist - opening this Friday.  Death by Glamour!

ANGELINA JOLIE AND JOHNNY DEPP'S THE TOURIST BUMPED UP TO DECEMBER 2010


This has gotta be a good sign. As announced previously, Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck's The Tourist starring Johnny Depp and Angeline Jolie, was to be released around Valentine's Day 2011. It appears they're either really ahead of schedule or just really confident in the quality of work here,  releasing the film December 10, 2010 now. This could only mean it's a serious Oscar contender.

The film is about an American man named Frank (Depp) who visits Italy after having his heart broken, only to fall dangerously in love with the entrancing Elise (Jolie).  Bring it.

THE TOURIST STILL WITH ANGELINA JOLIE AND JOHNNY DEPP


There couldn't be a more perfect pairing. Check out this just-released still of Angelina Jolie and Johnny Depp who both star in German director Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck's The Tourist.  The film hits theatres around Valentine's Day 2011 and follows the story of Frank (Johnny Depp) who visits Italy after having his heart broken.  He then falls in love with Elise (Angelina Jolie) while on vacation; a dangerous move.  The romance genre has been lacking lately hasn't it?  Hopefully The Tourist, from Spyglass Entertainment, will spark some sort of a revival.
