It’s been a pretty slow summer for Amy news and photos. Hopefully, that will pick up as she finishes up filming Man of Steel and the real promotion for The Muppets begins. I do have a fun treat for you all today though – two brand new high quality stills from The Muppets have been added to the gallery.

Total Film’s October issue is dedicated to comic-book movies and Amy is featured in a one page article for her role as Lois Lane in the upcoming Man of Steel. I’ve added a HQ scan of the page to our gallery.

With New Line Cinema set on The Mothman Prophecies and Arlington Road director Mark Pellington to get begind the camera for The Orphanage, the Guillermo del Toro produced remake of the Spanish-language ghost tale El Orfanato, the studio is now looking for their leading lady.

Bloody Disgusting has it on good authority that New Line has had talks with Amy Adams to star as “Laura”, a woman who takes over the orphanage where she was raised, to open a home for disabled children. Then her young son begins to play with the same imaginary friend who terrorized her when she was a child. Adams is a 3-times Academy Award nominee having starred in Enchanted, Doubt and The Fighter. She will soon be seen in Man of Steel and The Muppets Movie. To be clear, talks have taken place, but that does NOT mean she is signed to star.

Keep in mind that no official casting announcements have been made and even if Amy is being offered a role, it doesn’t mean that she will want it or have time in her schedule to take it. But if she does get the role, how exciting! I would love to see her in a film like this.

Deadline.com reports this morning that filming for Woverine 2, the sequel to the successful X Men franchise starring Hugh Jackman, may be pushed back to the spring of 2012 due to location scouting issues. The film had been tentatively scheduled to film in Japan this fall, however weather conditions have made securing locations difficult. The operation may now move to Canada instead.

This means that Jackman will shoot the Les Miserables film, in which he’ll be playing Jean Valjean, first, beginning in February of 2012. The film will be shot in the UK.

According to www.itsonthegrid.com, additional actors being courted for the film include Russell Crowe for Javert, Geoffrey Rush for Thenardier, Helena Bonaham Carter for Madame Thenardier, Hayden Panettiere, Miranda Cosgrove, Lucy Hale, and Emma Watson for the roles of Eponine and Cosette, and Amy Adams and Rebecca Hall for Fantine.

Jackman has previously revealed that the new film interpretation will have songs in addition to dialogue to accommodate the medium.

Thanks to my good friend Celyn, we have a stunning new layout up at Enchanting Amy. It’s been tested in IE and Firefox – but as with all my sites, it looks best in the latest version of Firefox. If you come across any errors or broken links, please let me know.

Sesame Street is about to start its 42nd season (can you believe it?) and according to this source, Amy is listed as one of the celebrities that will be featured in an episode. The new season starts on September 26th and the date of Amy’s episode is unknown at this time. I will keep you all updated as I learn more.

An impressive line-up of celebrities and headline makers are featured in the new season including Academy Award-winning and nominated actors Nicole Kidman, Robin Williams, Amy Adams, Naomi Watts and Mark Ruffalo; Golden Globe nominated actors Liev Schreiber, Mila Kunis, Sofia Vergara and Emma Stone; …

While making an update at one of my other sites, I came across Amy’s name in a list of celebrities that will be featured in Darren Tieste’s upcoming coffee table book “The Beauty Book for Brain Cancer”.

The Beauty Book is a hard cover coffee table book with images of your favorite celebrities, musicians and top models. All the monies raised, will go directly to Brain Cancer via the charities called SNOG & ABTA. These charitable organizations are non- profit and both rely on donations and fundraising.

The Beauty Book has the support of the biggest identities in the world who have all been photographed for this cause including; Amy Adams, Jessica Alba, Dianna Agron, Dave Annable, Samaire Armstrong, Moran Atais, Selma Blair, Julie Benz, Rachel Bilson, Emily Blunt…. et al.

The book will be available in November but you can pre-order now and learn more about it at the official site here.

We’re still four months away from the release of Amy’s new movie The Muppets but some promotion for it is happening. Two new posters were released today and I’ve added HQ versions of both to the gallery.

I’m not sure if they needed to reshoot some scenes or just weren’t quite done yet but apparently, Amy was spotted (and photographed) last night filming a scene from The Muppets in Hollywood. The photos are small and not very clear so I won’t be posting them to the gallery. You can view them at their source here.

In its inaugural year, this exciting film extravaganza, which hopes to become the Glastonbury of film, will be opened by Indiana Jones and James Bond and closed by Dr Who; or at least the actors who play them! Jon Favreau’s blending of science fiction and the old West Cowboys & Aliens will kick start the event with stars Daniel Craig and Harrison Ford to attend for the world premiere, while the remake of classic 80’s horror Fright Night 3D, starring Colin Farrell and David Tennant, has been picked as the movie to close the event.

And these are just a few of the stars to attend the 3 day event taking place on the weekend of the 12th of August at the O2, which is quickly becoming as synonymous with film as it is with music, having hosted last year’s Chronicles of Narnia and more recently the Justin Bieber Never Say Never documentary premieres.

And while stars Amy Adams and Jason Segel are not confirmed, Kermit, Piggy and all the Muppet stars of their latest outing due out this summer, have all signed on the dotted line and were quoted as being “very excited about visiting the O2 for the first time” to promote The Muppets!
