‘Dirty Girl’ to also screen at Toronto International Film FestivalYesterday, we reported of John Curran’s crime drama Stone being set to premiere at the 2010 Toronto International Film Festival in September. Well, according to Milla Jovovich herself via her verified Twitter account @MillaJovovich, the same goes for Abe Sylvia’s Dirty Girl! From the source:
Dirty Girl being part of the TIFF schedule has yet to be officially announced, however this news coming straight from Milla is likely to be confirmed later. Hopefully, this also means Milla will be appearing at this year’s TIFF! Keep your fingers crossed for new pics. In less exciting movie news, don’t expect to see too many (authorized) pictures of Milla on the Oklahoma City set of Bringing Up Bobby, as Milla says she’s not allowed to post pictures from the production. Bummer. Data 30.07.2010 Thanks|millafan.com |
‘Stone’ to premiere at 2010 Toronto International Film FestivalAccording to the Toronto International Film Festival official site, John Curran’s crime drama Stone, starring Robert De Niro, Edward Norton and Milla Jovovich, will be screened at this year’s festival, running September 9-19. The festival film schedule won’t be locked until August 23, however, so we’ll have to wait until then for specifics. We’ll keep you posted, though. Stone official description from the TIFF website:
In related news, WENN.com reports via IMDb that Stone’s production company Overture Films will be ceasing operations. According to the site, Relativity Media has taken over the company’s marketing and distribution operations, and although the company’s three upcoming films Stone, Let Me In and Jack Goes Boating, will be released as planned, Overture will shut down completely following their release. Finally, we’ve updated the gallery with two new but small promotional stills of Milla as Lucetta in the film. They’re really very small, but they’re also the first ones we’ve had in a long time; hopefully, better-res ones will surface online soon. New Photo Albums:

Comic-Con 2010: Resident Evil Afterlife Blows 3D AwayIf you thought 3D movies are a bunch of hooey that's an excuse for studios to pump up their ticket prices - well, you're probably right. But out in Hollywood, there are two types of people who utilize 3D the right way: people who craft subtle depth to immerse you in their worlds...and people who throw sh*t in your face.Guess which type Resident Evil: Afterlife is? Milla Jovovich, Ali Larter, newcomer Wentworth Miller and director Paul W.S. Anderson all appeared on the panel for the fourth entry in the RE franchise and ensured the audience that just because its their fourth movie, the series shows no sign of slowing down. The panel opened with a new trailer: It opens with an throwback to Extinction with Alice still hunting Umbrella. She travels to Alaska, where the virus is still turning people into creatures with four-pronged incisors. It's difficult to tell what the actual plot to Afterlife is, but the 3D trailer featured plenty of Alice slo-mo jumping, firing off pistols and nearly escaping destruction by plane. The Umbrella corps and Wesker (from the game) are still very much a presence and Alice has hooked back up with Claire and her brother Chris to kick their ass. 3D ninja stars in your face! Milla, just making sure you know she's a bad ass, drops the final line, "Is that any way to treat a lady?" The final footage is a fight scene between Alice, Claire and The Executioner (featured in the game Resident Evil 5). If you're a fan of giant hammers breaking tile floor and wet women with guns, you're gonna eat it up. The scene opens with The Executioner slicing a dude's head in half (hell yes), and the fight continues until Claire takes him down with a close shot to the chest...or does she!? It's not that easy to kill a ten-foot mammoth. Afterlife has taken a page out of the Zack Snyder playbook - lots of greenscreen, 300-style effects, slo-mo action, but it works. While most of the 3D plays to the camera, the environments are also enriched by the technology. Paul W.S. Anderson built sets to increase the depth, and it shows. But does the story hold up? In trailer form, the movie looks like fun, but the question remains: if you get drunk enough to make Resident Evil: Afterlife fun, will you be able to watch it in 3D? New Photo Albums:

New ‘Vykrutasy’ videos, interview with director GabriadzeYet another update on Vykrutasy! First, we have an article on the Russian-language romcom from Prime Time Russia, featuring a brief interview with debuting director Leo Gabriadze. Perhaps the most relevant to us Milla Jovovich-fans are these excerpts:
The full article, complete with a couple of pics from the set, is available for reading on the Prime Time Russia website. Then we have another two Russian TV reports from the Moscow set of the film, thanks to Vasilij. This first report is from the June 22 day of shooting. Although Milla herself is not interviewed, the clip features several great glimpses of her and co-stars Ivan Urgant and Konstantin Khabenskiy on the set and off-camera. Producer Timur Bekmambetov is also interviewed, but of course only in Russian. Here’s the clip:
Here’s another Russian TV report from the wedding set: Vasilij was also kind enough to translate for us this great Russia-24 TV report, which we posted on the site a couple of days ago. The report and English transcript as follows:

A kind of magic with the Fifth ElementA matter of romantic choice can turn into a laughing matter if two Romeos fall for one Juliet. Sooner or later one of them will be dismissed, and the other – kissed! "Vykrutasy” (“The Whims”) –a comedy-adventure with a Russian twist, starring Hollywood sweetheart Milla Jovovich – mixes love, luck, and humor. The movie from debut-director Leo Gabriadze, who studied in California and in Tbilisi, promises to revive the best traditions of Soviet comedies, which are recognized for their cheerful spirit and artistic delivery.In fact, Gabriadze first made a name for himself as an actor, playing one of the lead roles in “Kin-Dza-Dza”, Georgy Danelia’s cult 1986-comedy. The screenplay was co-written by Leo’s father Rezo Gabriadze, a genius Georgian artist/puppeteer/writer/film and stage director/sculptor/designer, whose trademark play “The Battle of Stalingrad” has been performed worldwide, winning praise and admiration. Growing up in such an unconventional artistic family, Leo Gabriadze has also inherited some of his father’s talents and passions. He admits – shyly and proudly at once – that he often looks at things through his father’s eyes. Having majored in computer graphics and animation at California University, he worked in advertising, making commercials for a number of leading Russian and foreign brands. Has it helped him feel more confident on the set of his debut? Gabriadze replies that he got very lucky. With two of Russia’s most sought-after artists in the lead – the burlesque “one-man band” Ivan Urgant and the versatile “Hamlet” Konstantin Khabensky, as well as the Fifth Element star Milla Jovovich in the limelight – there must have been an electric chemistry between all the three on set. Given the fact that Leo’s role-models since childhood have been Charlie Chaplin, Buster Keaton and Jacques Tati, is he very demanding on set? Gabriadze says the biggest challenge in arts and in the film industry for him is “to get audiences in the state of dreaming so that they become absolutely devoted to the screen.” According to many filmmakers, making a comedy hit is actually much more difficult than a teary-eyed drama, isn’t it? Given that Timur Bekmambetov – one of the most celebrated, foremost and successful Russian filmmakers working in Hollywood and who directed “Night Watch”, “Day Watch”, and “Wanted” – is producing the film, will his “Vykrutasy” also try to attract audiences outside of Russia after the film’s release later this autumn? Gabriadze has been working with Bekmambetov for 16 years and says he is a great producer not only because “he has great knowledge of production”, but also because “he can find a solution to any problem.” Gabriadze says he personally prefers movies in which there’s something for everyone, no matter how smart you are. “I hate pretentious art,” he declares. Probably that is why one of his next challenges is his father’s alma-mater: theatre.

‘Stone’ official site and HD trailer, ‘Afterlife’ official site expandedBeginning with the John Curran-directed crime drama Stone, the film has a newly released official site at www.stonemovie.com. Although the website doesn’t yet feature a lot of content, it does come with a HD version of roughly the same trailer we posted here on the site a couple of days ago.

Milla talks ‘Vykrutasy’ in Russian TV interviewCheck out this really great Russian-language video clip from Milla Jovovich discussing Vykrutasy in a Russian TV report on the upcoming romcom. Milla stars in the film as Nadya opposite Konstantin Khabenskiy and Ivan Urgant. Although both the report and Milla’s interview are in Russian, Sugar Mouse tells us Milla talks in her interview about how she got involved in the film, the difficulties she experienced having to learn her lines in the course of just 10 days of filming, how she enjoyed working on the film, and even pokes fun at her accent. The clip also features a lot of fantastic behind-the-scenes glimpses from the wedding set,so it’s definitely worth a look even if you don’t understand the language. The clip via YouTube: By the way, this report also confirms our earlier speculations that the director of Vykrutasy is indeed Levan “Leo” Gabriadze, and not Wanted-director Timur Bekmambetov as the Internet Movie Database claims. In Gabriadze’s interview segment, you can just make out the word “Director” (“Режиссер”) under his name. Bekmambetov, meanwhile, is only producing. Data 21.07.2010 |
‘Vykrutasy’ official site and teaser, out this NovemberCheck out this teaser trailer for the upcoming Russian-language romcom Vykrutasy from the film’s official site at www.vykrutasy.ru. The teaser is (obviously) in Russian and features mostly stars Konstantin Khabenskiy and Ivan Urgant in their respective roles, however Milla Jovovich does make a brief appearance as Nadya at the very end. A couple of screen caps of her glimpses in the trailer have been uploaded to our gallery.The trailer, as embedded below or on YouTube/Vykrutasy.ru: By the way, another clarification regarding the film, this time its director. Although according Russian-language news websites such as the RIA Novosti website, reporting from the set at the time, the director of Vykrutasy is Leo Gabriadze with Timur Bekmambetov producing, the Internet Movie Database-page for the film lists the director as Bekmambetov (best known for directing Wanted). Which information is true, we don’t know for sure at this point, but it is worth pointing out that the Vykrutasy website also lists Bekmambetov only as the producer. Leo Gabriadze was also photographed several times on the set in directing gear e.g. here and here, whereas Bekmambetov seems to have only been on the set to observe. Finally, according to the site, Vykrutasy will be released in Russian theaters as soon as this November. This looks like such a fun movie! Data 20.07.2010 Thanks|millafan.com |

Milla Jovovich Tweets Herself in Three Musketeers CostumeJust a short while ago, Milla Jovovich posted these Twitter pics from the first fittings of her The Three Musketeers costumes. They’re grainy, but still provide a worthwhile peep at the work in progress:Milla Jovovich (tweet): ‘Quite a collar on that chick! Lol! Its like a kick ass “midsummer nights dream”!’ This billionth film version of Alexandre Dumas’ The Three Musketeers is directed by Paul W. S. Anderson (incidentally Jovovich’s husband). We would also love to tell you who the costume designer is, but we don’t actually know. So if anyone can help us out, please do. Milla Jovovich: ‘Here’s the canvas sample 4 the dress! Incredible right?! That’s w out any fabric, ruffles or hairpieces. So fun!’ The Three Musketeers is set during the 17th century, a progressive time for fashionable dress. After all this was the decade that Charles II invented the three piece suit. For women the dominant look was pasty face and pasty chest, the latter displayed with the deep ‘décolletage’ (or plunging neckline). Two, sometimes three skirts were worn, often adorned with lace, although as the century wore on such decoration became more restrained. Milla Jovovich: ‘And full length…‘ In these very early photographs, Milla Jovovich is exhibiting at least some these elements, a plunging neckline perhaps being the most obvious (and some enormous bonnets). Yet this is only a generalisation, plus historical accuracy in not the only consideration of the period costume designer. Above all else Jovovich’s outfits must represent her character – in this case the villainous Milady de Winter. We will have to wait a while to see how the film turns out through; it is due for release on…well, a long way off yet. New Photo Albums:

‘Stone’ out October 8?FreeP.com makes a small mention of John Curran’s crime drama Stone in a recent article, according to which the film will be released in the U.S. October 8. Milla Jovovich stars as Lucetta opposite Edward “Stone” Norton and Robert De Niro. From the source:
The article doesn’t specify whether this’ll be a theatrical or e.g. straight-to-DVD release, nor does the film’s Wikipedia-page, which lists the film’s US release date as October 7. Stone’s Internet Movie Database-page doesn’t yet have a precise release date for the U.S. Hopefully, more details will surface online soon.
