Isla being considered for role in “”The Thin Man” re-make

Deadline reports that Isla is one of 8 actresses being considered for the lead role opposite Johnny Depp in a re-make of The Thin Man. The Thin Man centers around Nick Charles, a detective turned socialite, as he and his wife Nora are drawn into the investigation of a murder.

We’ll cross our fingers for role Isla, and keep you posted here on any further news on this!

Rob Marshall next week begins meetings to find who’ll play Nora in the Billy Ray-scripted Warner Bros remake of The Thin Man. Here are the named I’m hearing who are interested in cavorting with Johnny Depp, who’ll play the tipsy socialite-turned-sleuth Nick Charles: Eva Green, Amy Adams, Emma Stone, Carey Mulligan, Rachel Weisz, Kristen Wiig, Emily Blunt and Isla Fisher. This one should be fun!

I’d love to add some of your creations, and you will of course receive full credit.

“Rango” wins the Oscar for Best Animated Feature Film!

It was movie’s big night last night, with the 84th Annual Academy Awards taking place in Hollywood. A very big congratulations goes to the cast and crew of Rango, which took home the Oscar for Best Animated Feature Film! This is fantastic, and I’m really happy for all those involved in the making of the movie. It was one of my favourite films of 2011, which I was not expecting, and I thought it was such an original, smart and hilarious movie, and very deserving of this award.

I was hoping Isla might appear at one of the after parties, seeing as how her husband was at the event (albeit in character), but unfortunately not!

Congrats once again to Gore Verbinski and the Rango team…

“Wedding Crashers” Unrated version HD screencaptures

Continuing our DVD screencapture update run, I am excited to tell you that today I have uploaded over 500 HD screencaptures from Wedding Crashers! We all know that Isla played the “bipolar nymphomanic” Gloria in the riotous wedding comedy, which is her most famous and popular role to date. She was just so crazy and hilarious, and I think I love her performance in the film more and more each time I watch it! These screencaps are from the extended Unrated version, that featured 7 minutes of footage that was cut from the theatrical version.

Browse through the gorgeous HD screencaptures in our Gallery – I hope you enjoy them as much as I did 🙂

“Burke & Hare” HD film screencaptures

I have a great update for you today! I’ve added gorgeous HD screencaptures from Burke & Hare, in which Isla plays the determined but clueless Ginny. These screencaps are particularly nice because they are HD and therefore very good quality! I’ve also capped the DVD menu’s, but unfortunately there were no extras on my copy.

I wasn’t expecting much from the film to be honest, but I actually really enjoyed it, and thought it was a pretty smart and funny black comedy. Isla looks ravishing in the movie, and is totally hilarious and over-the-top as the ambitious Scottish actress! She really is brilliant at physical comedy.

Enjoy the pretty HD caps – I know I did! 🙂

First artwork for “Rise Of The Guardians”

ComingSoon.net have posted a new poster for the upcoming animated movie Rise Of The Guardians, and it gives us our first look at the characters themselves! I’m guessing that’s Isla’s character, the Tooth Fairy, in the top right corner…

When an evil spirit called Pitch becomes bent upon taking over the world by inspiring fear in the hearts of kids everywhere, a group of our greatest heroes — Santa, the Easter Bunny, the Tooth Fairy, the Sandman and Jack Frost — band together for the first time, determined to stand in Pitch’s way. More than a collection of storybook subjects, The Guardians are also a band of superheroes, who possess their own special powers. Now joined in opposition of a common foe, the Guardians heed the call and combine their powers to defeat Pitch and protect the world from his campaign of fear.
