Pics of Kate Winslet from 'Revolutionary Road' Arrive Online
Filed under: Drama », Fandom », Images »
At first glance, it's just another Kate Winslet looks for love-type flick. Look a little closer and you'll realize that Revolutionary Road marks the first on-screen reunion for Winslet and Leonardo DiCaprio since Titanic. Ooohh, the goosebumps! Some of the first pics of Winslet from the set of Revolutionary Road have arrived online, and from the looks of it she's gone all 1950s on us -- I mean, what's up with those weird button-like things on her dress? From what I can tell, there are a host of other pics online at the Kate Winslet fan website, but you have to register and stuff in order to see those galleries. I didn't have the time, but feel free to dive in you Winslet fanatics.
Based on the 1961 novel by Richard Yates (and adapted for the screen by Justin Haythe), Revolutionary Road is set in the 1950s and finds Winslet and DiCaprio married and stuck in a boring, same-old-routine kind of marriage. In an attempt to spice things up, the couple (along with their two kids) move to France, but not even a geographical shift can save these two from jumping ship. Directed by Sam Mendes, pic seems to place the helmer back in American Beauty mode as both films appear to share similar suburban themes, except for the fact that one takes place a few decades before the other. Another interesting little sidenote is that this will mark the first time that Mendes and Winslet (who are married in real life) work together on the same film. (I'm not aware of any Little Children-esque sex scenes, but I imagine it would have to be tough for a guy to watch his wife with another man, let alone be the one giving directions.) Due out in 2008, there's currently no release date. But, as soon as we have pics of both Titanic stars together, you'll be the first we share them with.
'The Dark Knight' Set Photos Online!
Filed under: Action », Fandom », Comic/Superhero/Geek », Remakes and Sequels », Images »
Since The Dark Knight has officially begun production in Chicago (under the assumed name of Rory's First Kiss), the first set photos have started to leak online. No, none of the actors are featured in costume (although there is one of some dude with a backpack -- which, honestly, is probably the most exciting photo of the lot), but if you're interested in checking out some Gotham exteriors (and/or buildings really excite you), then these pics might be right up your alley.
Apparently, the first major scenes being shot have to do with an action sequence inside a bank. Seems like an old post office is being used as the bank, and the majority of these early images show cranes, lights and the usual production-type stuff set up outside a building that claims to be Gotham National Bank. Other than that, there's a shot of a camera rigged to a black SUV (which is probably being used for some sort of chase-through-the-streets shot), as well as the aforementioned "guy with yellow backpack" photo. Exciting stuff, if I may say so myself. So far, no one has managed to get inside the bank (where the real action is probably taking place), but seeing as these scenes will most likely move outdoors soon, I wouldn't be surprised if more start popping up in the next few days. The Dark Knight is scheduled for release next summer; Batman's enemies this time around will be the Joker (Heath Ledger) and Harvey Dent/Two Face (Aaron Eckhart). Of course, a Two Face appearance depends on whether or not director Christopher Nolan wants to play that card now or wait until the third installment.
