Just last November, one Casting Tidbits update revealed The Lovely Bones star Saoirse Ronan landed the title role in Effie, a biopic about Effie Gray, the wife of English art critic John Ruskin, who became entangled in a famous Victorian love triangle. Now Deadline reports Dakota Fanning will star in the period drama from writer/actres****a Thompson which chronicles the strange romance, or lack thereof, between Gray and Ruskin. Despite her beauty, Ruskin was said to be disgusted with Gray's body, did not consummate the marriage and annulled it, allowing her to marry Ruskin's protégé John Everett Millais.Though Orlando Bloom was once attached to play Millais, apparently Tom Sturridge (Pirate Radio) has stepped into the role. In addition, Thompson will also star in the film as Lady Eastlake, who takes Effie under her wing when it becomes clear the union was destroying the young woman. Her husbandGreg Wise (Johnny English) will play Ruskin while Julie Walters (Harry Potter franchise) and Derek Jacobi (The King's Speech) will play his parents. Finally, Edward Fox (Gandhi) is in talks to play Eastlake's husband Sir Charles a man who was not only fed up with Ruskin and his radical ideas, but also the main patron of the Royal Academy which held sway over what constituted fine art.
Richard Laxton (An Englishman in New York) is directing the film which begins shooting in Scotland on October 17th with shooting to follow in London and Venice as well. The cast has been shuffled on this project for awhile with Carey Mulligan once attached to the title role as well, but a copyright infringement claim held up the film, which resulted in scheduling conflicts for the previously attached cast members. Producer Don Rosenfeld says, "It’****a Thompson’s first original script after doing several fine adaptations, and it gets to the heart of Victorian England." Though this sounds a bit more along the lines of her work on Sense and Sensibility as opposed to Nanny McPhee, her work on the page should make for a great British drama down the road.。老夫子有一只珍贵的翠绿色的古董花瓶,是著名的碧玉鸳鸯瓶。 老夫子的那只是属「雄」的,而「雌」的则为赵经理(张瑛饰 )所藏。赵经理亦十分喜爱这只花瓶,他找到古董店的古老板,希望他能帮忙找出那只「雄」花瓶,并表示愿意出高价购买 。古老板无意中得知那另外一只花瓶在老夫子手里,遂叫他的内弟刘彪设法将花瓶弄到手。老夫子和大番薯机智地击退了刘彪的强抢,但是古老板并不死心,他计划了一个个的方案,最终都破产了。老夫子最后以20万元的价格将花瓶直接卖给了赵经理,古老板又想夺取那20万元的巨款,因而触发了连场激战。巨款最后被老夫子捐给了教会医院。。科学家本隶属于美国政府某个秘密部门,他通过高科技手段训练豚鼠说话与思考,并将它们培养成特工人员。然而,本的部门却面临被FBI关闭的局面,为了证明他和豚鼠特工的能力,本向豚鼠特工队的负责鼠达尔文下令,要它们潜入赛博林工业的CEO罗纳德·赛博的办公室,寻找罗纳德向中东国家出卖可用于军事的高科技芯片的证据。达尔文毫不怠慢,带着布拉斯特、华蕾斯、苍蝇莫奇和斯贝克斯等成员迅速展开行动。
