I Am Link

.

--- Jolly Green Kate - I totally forgot that Lost's Evangaline Lilly was going to be in one of the Hobbit movies as an elf, but good god that's good casting. She is one elfin lady. That right there (via) is the first picture of her. She says her character has "a significant relationship with Legolas (Orlando Bloom)" but she won't say what sort of relationship. They're gonna fuck on a dragon, aren't they?

--- Lil Cabin - I'll always link over to a new-to-me behind-the-scenes picture from Sam Raimi's original Evil Dead, even if it's not the most exciting thing ever. It's The Evil Dead! it wins everything.

--- Never World - BD has a few new pictures from Insidious Chapter 2 up, including several looks into that netherworld called The Further where people wear lots of Ghost Make-up from discount stores and stand around in clouds of dry ice. 

--- Rock It Man -  HBO is teaming up with Martin Scorsese again, with Mick Jagger along for the ride, to make a series about the rock business in the 1970s, and it looks like Boardwalk Empire's Bobby Cannavale will star in it, probably.

--- Strumpets United - I almost went and saw the Bette Davis movie Jezebel when it screened at MoMA over the weekend; I've only seen pieces of it (I know) and my boyfriend loves it (big Bette fan, that one), but time slipped away. Glenn went and saw it though and wrote up some thoughts at Stale Popcorn, and things get positively Golden-Girls-a-licious up in there.

--- Bunny Nightmares - Also over at Stale Popcorn Glenn takes a look at the trailer for The Anna Nicole Story, the Lifetime Network movie biopic of the ill-fated reality-star Playboy bunny, which if you can believe it was directed by Mary Harron, the seriously talented auteur behind American Psycho and The Notorious Bettie Page. I haven't even been able to bring myself to watch the trailer. I am hoping against hope that Harron manages to sneak a good movie out of this, somehow.

--- Trauma Gold - Steven Spieberg and Daniel Day-Lewis might be reuniting for a movie about Iraq War veterans and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. I smell Oscar number four! Spielberg's making that sniper movie with Bradley Cooper first though.

--- After After Earth - Over at The Film Experience Tim has been taking a look at What Happened To M Night Shyamalan (and Will Smith, as well) through the lens of this past weekend's epic flop After Earth. Here's Tim looking at it just before it opened amid all the bad reviews, and here's him taking on the aftermath. I am so happy this movie cratered, you guys - it restores my faith in humanity a smidge.
