TWO new movies, possibly! We’re spoilt this week. Finally!! In my opinion, Ben and Katherine had good chemistry in the Big Wedding interviews, in a sort of brother-sister way… although the sister might have drooled over the brother a bit but who can blame her :) Will be interesting to see them as a couple. A single mother sounds good because Ben is so great with children. Looking forward to this one!

Here’s a more detailed synopsis of the film:

The story follows a single mother as she struggles to maintain custody of her only daughter. When a train-hopping musician enters her life though, the two decide to overcome their circumstances with a powerful relationship that is sure to change both of their lives forever. Heigl will star as the single mom, Jackie.

Let’s hope Ben is the train-hopping musician. He was so great last time he played a musician.

Yay, January! I wish it was a romantic drama instead of a comedy but of course it’s a comedy because it has Katherine Heigl in it. In Utah where she lives so that she can be close to Josh and her kids… or so that Josh can keep an eye on his wife…? ;) Remembering all those rumours about Timberlake being jealous while Ben and Jessica Biel were shooting Easy Virtue. LOL

LaRose said:

lol, I’d take Ben Barnes over Justin Timberlake any day. I don’t see what girls see in him and I don’t like his singing.

So that starts filming in Utah in January huh? Hopefully he will make an appearance at Sundance too if God only knows premleres there.

hear is an other movie:
Peter Dinklage has joined the cast of “Zen Dog”, Australian director Bruce Beresford’s latest, about a depressed soldier who stumbles upon a drug deal gone wrong.

The film, about a PTSD-suffering soldier who must keep calm long enough to save the girl he’s just met from a depressed drug lord, also features William H.Macy, Felicity Huffman, Ben Barnes and Aubrey Plaza.

Kevin Cramer wrote the screenplay.

LaRose, exactly! I always say I wouldn’t pay attention even if twelve Timberlakes passed me in the street because he’s so average. :) If he wasn’t famous, hardly any women would consider him hot.

Does Ben Barnes smoke ?

November 10th, 2013

LaRose said:

Yes, he does Evita. LOL, Justin T is average KayT!!

Mary said:

Yes he does,Evita and there is a video which shows that he smokes in real life.

Evita said:

Do you know when God only knows is going to be on cinemas?

November 11th, 2013

LaRose said:

In Emilio Mauro’s recent interview he said perhaps next April. Lets hope so!!!! He is the writer/producer of the film. Being an independent film it may not get widespread distribution but Emilio is also hoping Video on Demand may buy it. I just pray something happens to it and it doesn’t take forever to be released like Locked in.

The two new movies sound great! I’m just hoping we get to see the two that are already completed soon. The one with Peter Dinklage sounds good. I like him. I remember when he filmed The Station Agent here. He was very nice and we all enjoyed the scene filmed at the Mill Lane. That was fun and interesting.

LaRose said:

Where was that filmed? I like him too. I love him in Game of Thrones!!

I think Katherine is older than he , isn’t she?

BDBDoggen said:

It was filmed in New Jersey LaRose. I’m also a big Game of Thrones fan. I’m still keeping my fingers crossed that we’ll get to see Seventh Son and God Only Knows soon.

The ‘Zendog’ IMDB page has been updated with some new information as well, including a detailed plot summary of the film, release date (March 2015), and Ben’s name listed as part of the cast – he is rumored to play the main character ‘Chad’ in the film.

“Chad Curtis is an Afghanistan war veteran and pacifist. He’s traveling the American West trying to forget the horrors of war with his longtime companion; a telepathic, Buddhist stuffed animal named Smiley Dog. When they stumble into a drug deal gone wrong in the mountains of the western US, they soon find themselves at the mercy of a highly intelligent, but ruthless drug dealer named Blankenship. Finding himself along for the ride as Blankenship and his henchman, Sanchez carve a bloody path through three states, Chad discovers that there may be more to his captor than meets the eye. Underneath the calculating killer lies a caring, family man who’s trying to get his young son back from the hands of a rival gang. This is the story of two men forming a bond through the innate compassion that so far has been overwhelmed by the violence of their lives, and the stuffed dog that provides the conduit to gain access to their mutual beliefs.”

Great news! The ‘Zendog’ promises to be a serious movie with interesting, complex characters. I like the plots of the both new films and the fact that Ben’s characters are people who have to deal with some real-life problems. It’s a good opportunity for him to show his great acting potential.
