For those in the Chicago area

This update is only kind of Amy related. I thought I should post it though for Amy fans who maybe haven’t had a chance to see Julie & Julia yet. Or for those who want to watch it again. My source isn’t clear, but I think this is happening tonight – July 28th.

Dine al fresco while watching recent foodie favorite, Julie & Julia. Enjoy Meryl Streep and Amy Adams at The Chicago Firehouse Restaurant’s weekly dinner-and-a-movie night, complete with complimentary gourmet popcorn. If popcorn isn’t enough, entree and drink specials corresponding with the movie will be available as well. FREE. Movie begins at dusk.

This looks like so much fun! I wish I lived closer to Chicago so I could go.

‘The Fighter’ trailer – coming soon!

Contactmusic.com posted a short article about Mark Wahlberg where he talks about The Fighter being his “baby” as he’s worked for such a long time to make it happen. In the article, he mentions that a trailer will be coming soon.

The Oscar-nominated star also said a trailer for the film – which also stars Christian Bale and Amy Adams – would be released soon.

He told Collider.com: “You’ll see a trailer fairly soon. We’re going to a marketing meeting at the end of this month. I’ve already seen one cut of a trailer and everybody is just super excited about the movie. It’s coming out on 10 December. So, we’re excited.”

Even though I’m pretty sure the trailer won’t likely feature much Amy, I’m very excited to see it.

Official: Amy signed to play Janis Joplin

Entertainment Weekly is reporting that they have confirmation from Amy’s reps that she has agreed to play Janis Joplin in Get it While You Can. They then go on to talk about the difficulties this project still faces – including what I posted a couple days ago about the music rights. A quick blurb from the article is below and you can read it in its entirety here.

As for the Adams/Meirelles project, which is called Get it While You Can, the script from musician-turned-writer Ron Terry had been owned by Fox Searchlight for the last few years. In fact, around three years ago, Catherine Hardwicke and Reese Witherspoon was a possible director/star combination being discussed. That didn’t come together, and the project lay dormant until Temple Hill found a common vision with Brazilian filmmaker Meirelles. In an ideal world, sources say Meirelles would begin filming the biopic at the end of the year — if his other project, 360, can’t come together.

Sites merging

I have some excellent news Amy fans. The site that was formally known as amy-adams.org is merging with Enchanting! What does this mean? It means that while the domain is still active, you can find us with www.amy-adams.org or www.enchantingamy.com (please bookmark the enchantingamy.com domain though as that is our permanent address). It also means that the site content from that site will be integrated into ours. To start with, I’ve updated the gallery with lots of new to the site scans. My apologies for the fansite tag on some of them. Enchanting’s tag free policy remains but until I can find non-tagged versions, these will have to do. I will continue to search through the files and add photos that our gallery is missing so keep checking back!

Breaking news: Janis project a no go?

According to this source, it appears that the Janis Joplin movie won’t be filmed any time soon – if ever. My Portuguese is very poor but from what I can make out using my limited skills and Babelfish, they are experiencing issues with getting the rights to her music. The supposed director, Fernando Meirelles, says “I will not direct a film on Janis Joplin, the least not in the next year.” He then continues with

“But the musical producer that has the rights of musics of Janis Joplin did not like it. I believe that it wanted a film more to the life of the singer, as a staged set of documentation, without as many freedoms. As this way does not please me, the project was in an impasse.”

This does not mean for sure that the entire project is canceled. It could be that they’ll find another director. Or maybe wait until they can get the music rights. But until we know more, it’s hard to say. I’m still considering this, and all Janis Joplin movie related news, as role rumors. On a side note, I really do hope they find a way to make this movie. It would be really great to see Amy play something so completely different from what we’re used to seeing.

Behind the Scenes: Elle 2007

Small gallery update tonight. I’ve added some low quality screencaptures from the behind the scenes video of a photoshoot Amy did back in 2007. She looks so amazing. I wish outtakes of this shoot would become available.

Update on Janis Joplin project

The news that I first posted back on June 22nd and made an update on a few days ago has just now become a hot topic on the web. Several sites are blogging/posting about this movie and Amy’s involvement in it. I’ve read through several of them and none of them offer any more information than we already know. Except one. Deadline claims that they can confirm Amy’s attachment to the movie.

Today the website Fearnet had an interview with film producer Wyck Godfrey about the Twilight Saga, and the subject of a long-in-the-works Janis Joplin biopic came up. Godfrey mentioned in passing that Amy Adams would play the 1960s singer. I can tell you that Amy is indeed confirmed in the role for the film to be directed by Fernando Meirelles (City Of God). There’s no studio involved yet, and the script has been through several drafts.

This is not a site I frequent so I can’t vouch for their accuracy. I’ve put out a few emails but I am honestly not expecting a reply back. So once again we wait. I will, of course, keep you all updated.

Janis Joplin movie confirmed?

If you visit the Amy Adams page on IMDb, you will see that Amy is now credited as Janis in the upcoming Janis Joplin: Get it While You Can. This alone does not a confirmation make. IMDb, while an excellent source of information and trivia, is notorious for getting projects that are in pre-production wrong. If you click on the link for the movie, it shows both Amy and Zooey Deschanel as having the part.

I did do some research though and found another interview with Wyck Godfrey. Like the one I previously posted, this one only has the briefest mention of the film and Amy’s connection to it. The full interview is posted here and you’ll want to fast forward to around the 09:45 mark to hear this: “I’ve got a Channing Tatum 10-year high school reunion movie that we’re working on that’s gonna be fun. We’re working on a Janis Joplin movie with Fernando Meirelles and Amy Adams. So we got a lot of things cooking.”

Confirmed? To be honest, I have no idea. But I will continue to search out more information and will share anything I find.
