Previous winners include Sandra Bullock for the truly 2010 dreadful movie, All About Steve which [...]
I love the word canoodle, so was very happy to see this new clip from Stephen Daldry’s adaptation of Jonathan Safran Foer’s novel Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close appear.

A handful of new photos for Stephen Daldry’s adaptation of Jonathan Safran Foer’s novel Extremely Loud And Incredibly Close have been released this week, an upcoming drama starring Tom Hanks and Sandra Bullock as the parents of a ten-year-old amateur inventor. Focusing on the young boy, Oskar (Thomas Horn), Extremely Loud And Incredibly Close isn’t [...]
Judging by the first and second trailers that we’ve seen for Tom Hanks’ next film, Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close, we’re certainly due for a powerful cinema experience when this comes to our screens early next year. Directed by Stephen Daldry (The Reader, Billy Elliot), the film is an adaptation of Jonathan Safran Foer’s novel [...]
Tom Hanks and Sandra Bullock head up Stephen Daldry’s adaptation of Jonathan Safran Foer’s powerful novel of a young boy who loses his father in the World Trade Center attacks and searches the greiving city of New York for a message he believes his father left for him. This is a far more emotionally involving [...]
Sandra Bullock (The Blind Side) is in early talks to star opposite Clint Eastwood (Gran Torino) in Warner Bros. Pictures’ Trouble with the Curve. Penned by Randy Brown, Trouble with the Curve will tell of a veteran baseball scout (Eastwood) who journeys to Atlanta with his daughter (Bullock) to see a talented player. Robert Lorenz, [...]
Stephen Daldry’s adaptation of the celebrated novel Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close by Jonathan Safran Foer has got itself a trailer today. It’s a little less idiosyncratic than I expected but the combination of Tom Hanks, Sandra Bullock, the tragedy of the World Trade Center and a child suddenly lost in the world is a [...]
Warner Bros. have released this first look image from Tom Hans’ new movie, Extremely Loud And Incredibly Close. In the image, we get to see Hanks giving a piggyback to his co-star, Thomas Horn. The movie is based on the book by Jonathan Safran Foer and i’ll let the Amazon synopsis tell you more: Nine-year-old Oskar Schell [...]
Disney really are a sucker for those based-on-real-events, inspirational tales. Their latest subject matter to fall into that category is the late Texas high school theatre teacher Lynn Shaw. What’s more, they’ve managed to secure a scriptwriter who is taylor-made for the project, given her past track record. Susannah Grant (who wrote perhaps the ultimate [...]
The Stephen Daldry adaptation of Jonathan Safran Foer’s novel Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close has a new cast member and there are few names more enticing to add to a cast list than that of John Goodman. He’ll be playing a doorman in the big screen version of the 2005 novel dealing with the emotional [...]
Way back on the first of April when news broke that Billy Elliot director Stephen Daldry had signed on to bring Jonathan Safran Foer’s celebrated Post 9-11 novel Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close to the big screen the main question mark on my mind was the casting of the novel’s central character, nine year old [...]
Alfonso Cuaron’s spacebound survival movie Gravity has lost its leading man, as THR reports that Robert Downey Jr. has left the project. After a number of leading ladies first attached, then drifted away from the project (Angelina Jolie and Natalie Portman to name just two) Sandra Bullock stepped up to take the main role of [...]
It was reported last week that an offer had been made to Natalie Portman – on the back of her acclaimed performance in Black Swan – to star in Alfonso Cuarón’s Gravity, after Angelina Jolie turned down the role, twice. While Portman has yet to read the script and accept the offer, it seems studio executive [...]
Deadline is reporting that Hollywood’s Mr and Mrs Everyman, Tom Hanks and Sandra Bullock are “circling” the adaptation of Jonathan Safran Foer’s novel Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close. The book (released in 2005) focuses on a nine-year-old boy who, having lost his father on 9/11, discovers a key belonging to him in a vase. This [...]
Bejeweling the true story of Michael Oher’s metoric rise to NFL fame with Sandra Bullock was a smart move as the Oscar winning turn as Leigh Anne Tuohy elevates what could have been a fairly mundane biopic to something more satisfying. Despite the focus on Oher’s rags to riches story this is Bullock’s film, and [...]
In 2007 Jonathan Dayton and Valerie Faris, directors of the hugely successful, and Oscar-winning film, Little Miss Sunshine, announced their plans to develop a big-screen adaptation of Tom Perrotta’s novel, The Abstinence Teacher, which centres on a sex education teacher who comes into conflict with the conservative members in her town who criticise her teaching style, and support of sex before [...]
So, enough of you enjoyed the team of Sandra Bullock and Ryan Reynolds in The Proposal last year to warrant the two stars throwing themselves together again in a new action comedy film for Universal. Most Wanted not only brings back Bullock and Reynolds, who admittedly made good with the comedy last time around, but [...]
