Rowan Atkinson and the ‘Johnny English Reborn’ Premiere. Venice Film Festival!

Rowan Atkinson

A name that hasn’t been seen for a while and that’s Rowan Atkinson. He was at the “Johnny English Reborn” Premiere which was held at the 68th Venice Film Festival. Other names that were present at the premiere included Al Pacino, James Franco and Salma Hayek. Gillian Anderson also stars.

Johnny English Reborn World Premiere 

 Basically the film has a pop in a comedy style at James Bond, 007 and anything else associated with that film franchise. Yes you’ve guessed it; it’s a spoof type film and billed as a parody! Who better than Rowan Atkinson to pull that one off? A sort of Mr Bean meets James Bond. Sounds a complete disaster and would make a superb film hence why it’s been made. Not sure if there any 3 wheeler Reliant Robins in this film though……….that could be interesting? 

Plot
English attempts to stop a group of international assassins before they eliminate a world leader and cause global chaos. In the years since MI-7′s top spy vanished off the grid, he has been honing his unique skills in a remote region of Asia. But when his agency superiors learn of an attempt against the Chinese premier’s life, they must hunt down the highly unorthodox agent. Now that the world needs him once again, Johnny English is back in action.

The Contagion Photo call and  Film Premiere were held yesterday at the 68th Venice Film Festival. Gwyneth Paltrow and Matt Damondominated the proceedings at the event. This film is billed as a Horror/Thriller and does sound a good film, a sort of disaster movie with disease undertones focusing on that crazed human fear response called panic which has reached epidemic proportions on a global scale eating into the very fabric of society.

These films are quite chilling when properly done because this can and does happen

Sara Paxton and a host of stars were at the film screening of “Shark Night 3D” last night  at Universal CityWalk in LA. Other names in attendance included Alyssa Diaz and Dustin Milligan. It’s billed as a horror/thriller.

Every once in a while you get one of those films that just one look at the film title and the film poster raises a bit of a chuckle accompanied by a gentle shaking of the head whilst muttering “B Movie”. Shark Night 3D looks to be one of those films, for me anyway. It’s in 3D, may help, may not, and sounds and looks very similar to the Piranha 3D that met with a not too glowing critical response which was also backed up by slow box office numbers only this time it’s got errr Sharks in it.

Kate Winslet and the 'Carnage' Premiere. Venice Film Festival!

Kate Winslet

Another big name star was at the Venice Film Festival last night for the premiere  of the new film by non other than Director Roman Polanski called simply “Carnage”.  It’s billed as a black comedy drama. This film stars Kate Winslet who was at the premiere along with Christopher Waltz  who also stars, other names at the premiere included  Eli Roth, John C Reilly and Bar Rafaeli.

Plot

The film follows two sets of parents (Kate Winslet, Christoph Waltz and Jodie Foster, John C. Reilly) who meet up to talk after their children have been in a fight that day at school. Doesn’t sound that gripping but it’s a Polanski film so from these simple plot beginnings………………. anything goes.

Carnage Trailer

Reviews.

This film has received mixed reviews leaning slightly more onto the positive side of neutral at the 68th Venice film Festival. Check out an in depth review from Alt Film Guide.
The film has been snapped up by Sony Picture Classics with as yet  no firm release date but a wild guess would be at the tail end of this year, at a similar time to the Madonna W.E film.

Madonna and the 'W.E' Premiere. Venice Film Festival!

Madonna

Madonna

Madonna at the Venice Film Festival? Was she performing?  Errr no, she’s got a film, directed by her and it had it’s premiere last night at The 68th Venice Film Festival,  where better, now there’s a headline! A directorial debut from Madonna has got to without a doubt create a bit of a stir and get those critics coming out with noses in the air in a feverish manner.  Madonna was at the premiere of her event last night and it has to be said she was looking something else. At first glance at the premiere pics thought it was Kate Hudson had to look ten times. “Stone Me” were the words muttered at this end!   Abbie Cornish and Andrea Riseborough were also present who star in this film along with the male stars in the film including Oscar Isaac and James D’Arcy. The Weinstein Company have picked up the US distribution rights to this film, that  has got to say something?

You could say this was a big premiere in more ways than one.  The film was initally shot in London then Stateside and also in France. So what’s ‘W.E’  all about?
