Feb 24 2009 Slumdog Joins Woody Allen's Newest
Naomi Watts and Freida Pinto, the cutie from Slumdog Millionaire, have joined Anthony Hopkins and Brand in the cast of Woody Allen's yet-untitled new film:
Freida Pinto will follow up her performance in the Oscar-winning "Slumdog Millionaire" with a role in Woody Allen's latest project.This year's Cinderella at the Oscar ball will join the long list of Allen's muses as she takes on the ingenue role in the helmer's still-untitled pic.
Naomi Watts has also signed on to star in the film, joining the already-announced Josh Brolin and Anthony Hopkins.
I imagine hanging out with Woody Allen being a lot like an '80s sitcom, where Woody is like the Kirk Cameron from Growing Pains. We go to the Oscars, he catches a glimpse of Freida Pinto:
"Who is that!"
"Oh, she's in Slumdog Millionaire. Really young; way out of your league, man."
"She's beautiful. I've got to find a way to get her in my next movie!"
Then we spent the next twenty minutes scheming how to pull it off before getting caught by her dad, and people complain that the same basic episode aired a few years ago with Scarlett Johansson.

Oct 29 2008 'International' Poster Ends Bank Corruption
Columbia Pictures has released a new poster for The International, the upcoming thriller that takes Owen and Watts on a globetrotting adventure to stop a large, criminally-corrupt international bank. It's so relevant right now! But at least we know if that even if banks do control our money, our government, and our lives, there's one thing they will never control: our Clive Owens. Our Clive Owens will always be free, running rampant in our art museums, indiscriminately firing their uzis. You will never stop our uzi-firing, museum-patronizing Clive Owens, banks.

Sep 12 2008 'International' Trailer Creates Little 'Interest' (See, Because It's About a Bank)
OK, so our banking system is falling apart, but we've got bigger problems: it turns out one of the banks is corrupting, extorting, and murdering (as conspicuously seen in their ATM menu options). The only man who can stop them? Clive Owen playing Clive Owen, obviously. And he will do so by shooting every one of those MF'ing bankers dead. It's like a surprisingly violent WaMu commercial.
Jan 21 2008 R-Rated 'Funny Games' Trailer Adds Blood, Bras
The trailer for Michael Haneke's shot-for-shot English remake of his original Funny Games has been out for some time, but this R-rated version ups the ante, adding visible shotgun wounding, more Naomi Watts in a bra, and more Tim Roth looking rough as anything. Watch it under the cut.

Sep 28 2007 'Funny Games' Poster Destroys Environment
Cinematical got a peek at the poster for the English-language remake of Funny Games, and I'm loving it. I'm not sure if it's the minimalism, strangely-placed text, or that Naomi Watts appears to be playing Dr. Blight from Captain Planet, but it's all really working.

Jul 3 2007 Eastern Promises Trailer
David Cronenberg re-teams with his History of Violence star Viggo Mortensen and adds Naomi Watts in his latest effort, Eastern Promises. When Watts finds a diary that gets her involved with a notorious crime family, she gets in the most dangerous adventure with a journal since Indiana Jones hid his father's Grail diary from the Nazis. Or when Anne Frank hid her standard diary from the Nazis, for that matter. My point is that mobsters and Nazis hate written daily recollections of events.
