No, not that Adam and Eve! To my knowledge, they won't be wearing any fig leaves. They’re the main characters in the new film by Argentinian director Juan Diego Solanas (making his English language debut), Upside Down. It’s the story of two star-crossed lovers separated by opposite worlds, one up and one down, but both just out of reach of the other.  Sturgess’ Adam falls in love with a woman when he sees her on his tv screen when he’s a kid. His love grows, but she lives in an inverted universe with its own gravity, separate from his. Thanks to Jim Sturgess Online, we have some great first images to share. They give us a first look at the characters and a few hints at what the special effects might be like.

I've never heard of a single other member of the cast, although one, Neil Napier, played "Spartan with a Stick" in 300. I like Kirsten Dunst. She was clearly the best thing about the unrelentingly depressing Melancholia. Jim Sturgess is just plain adorable. but if he didn’t cut through his penchant for wacky, trippy (Across the Universe) or just plain sappy (One Day) with something meaty and dramatic once in a while, like his role as Janusz  in Peter Weir’s The Way Back, I’d probably go right off him.

Upside Down just has a vague 2012 as a release date right now. I’m thinking this may be headed for TIFF in the fall.

Lars von Trier's end of the world drama, Melancholia, has been whispered and buzzed about long before the director's controversial remarks at the Cannes Film Festival, but even getting himself kicked off the Croissette couldn't overshadow his leading lady's performance. Kirsten Dunst won the award for Best Actress for this film and it has been eagerly awaited ever since.

I've been a fan of Dunst since 1994's Interview with a Vampire and it is high time she had something to showcase her considerable talents again. (I don't care about her personal life. For someone who grew up in front of the cameras, she's doing pretty well.) In Melancholia, she has it. It's the story of two sisters (Dunst and Charlotte Gainsbourg) with an already strained relationship who find it further challenged as a mysterious new planet threatens to collide into the Earth.

The hand-held camera work may be off putting to some, but I think it makes the whole thing feel more immediate as if we're watching the events unfold and taking home movies. von Trier has assembled a scary good cast. Besides Dunst and Gainsbourg, it includes Kiefer Sutherland, Charlotte Rampling, John Hurt, Alexander Skarsgard, Stellan Skarsgard, Jesper Christiansen and Udo Kier. The film played TIFF last week and opens in the UK on 30 September, October 7 in the US on VOD and November 11 in theaters (huh?)

Kirsten Dunst, and Mary Kate Olsen Raid Grandma’s Closet ForThe MET Ball

I will be the first to admit I know very little about couture or high-end fashion. And I’m really okay with that. What I also know is I would never go out looking like Kirsten Dunst or Mary Kate Olsen did attending last night’s ‘Savage Beauty’ Costume Institute Gala at The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.

I sense Kirsten’s discomfort as she stands close to Gisele Bundchen which must suck because it’s bad enough going out looking like that (her stylist must hate her guts), but to stand beside Glamazon Gisele who looks beyond stunning would make the most confident of people head back home. Do I see a look of distaste on Glamazon’s face?

As for Mary Kate Olsen, I’ve just completely given up hope of her ever looking like she didn’t just roll out of bed or finish smoking from a bong for the last 5 hours while listening to Jimi Hendrix. I detect a hint of a smirk creeping up on her face so perhaps we are making some progress I’m just too disillusioned to care.

Kirsten Dunst is starring (sometimes naked) in the upcoming film, Melancholia.  This is a strange new movie that seems to be pointing to the end of days… this time through an alien attack.  Will the world end that way?

“Melancholia” is described as a beautiful movie about the end of the world, and the story hinges on a large object from outer space approaching Earth that affects the planet’s inhabitants.

You can check out the NSFW trailer below.  You must enter your age to view it: (more…)

Kirsten Dunst discusses a shower scene with co-star Ryan Gossling entitled All Good Things in which she performs oral sex on him:

What happens is, I come into the shower with Ryan, and for my character, it’s a smart ploy,” she told the magazine’s website. “What happened in the shower scene, she comes in and we start making out, and I gesture that I’m going to go down on him. And then I do.”

Dunst added: “It’s her gesture of coming into the shower and making him feel good, and in doing so, trying to get what she wanted. So I thought it was appropriate.”

I’m sure all the oinkers on the set thought it was appropriate too despite the fact it’s not in the film version!! If you want to see it (and I know you do) you’ll have to wait for the DVD to come out. Based on that methinks the DVD will garner more sales than the box office.

She’s nude in this film and will be nude in her next film Melancholia.  We will get to see Ryan Gosling’s nekkidness as he and co-star Michelle Williams have lots of sex scenes in the upcoming movie Blue Valentine.  That nugget of gold is in the theatres (in limited release) December 31. What delicate genius would make a film with Ryan Gosling naked in limited release?
