Kristen Wiig,
the star and co-writer of Bridesmaids,the 150-million hit,will now be seen in a new movie Imogene,a dark comedy written by Michelle Morgan. The production companies Maven Pictures and Anonymous Content said in a news release that the film tells the story of a moderately successful New York playwright who stages a fake suicide attempt to win back her ex-boyfriend,only to end up being forced into the custody of her gambling-addict mother. The movie is scheduled to begin production in New York on August 8.
Matt LeBlanc,
a three-time Emmy award nominee for Friends,got his fourth nomination on Thursday for Episodes,a series that casts him as an exaggerated,self-centred version of himself. Asked if he was getting tired of the kudos,he responded,Uh,no. If I remember the experience,getting nominated and winning are two different things. He said that Episodes co-creators David Crane and Jeffrey Klarik,gave him some misgivings at first. They told me,Were not doing a documentaryanything youre not comfortable with,we wont do it. LeBlanc added. Then it became fun. In the beginning,I was the brunt of the joke,but I dont mind it if its a really good joke. And it was.
David Yates,
the fourth and final director of the Harry Potter series,whose last film Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2,released on July 15,says Im excited about the next stage of things,and Potter just leaves me with fond memories,both of the work and of the people that were involved in the process of making these movies. He adds,there will be a bit of grieving because its such a big thing to let go of. But what is balancing all that is this sense of excitement about whats to come. Firstly,there will be a holiday which I really need,because its been a tough six years.
