Judi Dench has two new movies she reportedly signed on,  My Week with Marilyn and The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel . Collider.com has the following info for both of these new films... Judi Dench has signed on to star opposite Michelle Williams and Kenneth Branagh in My Week With Marilyn , one of two Marilyn Monroe biopics in development .  This one takes place on the contentious set of 1957’s The Prince and the Showgirl , in which Monroe (Williams) sought respectability by working with lauded actor/director Laurence Olivier (Branagh); unfortunately Olivier came to loathe the blonde bombshell and treat her like “a naughty schoolgirl.” Dench will play fellow dame Sybil Thorndike, one of the stars of Prince . According to The Daily Mail , Dench will start shooting her scenes on September 20th , two weeks prior to the primary filming schedule.  The accommodation resulted from Dench’s commitment to James Madden’s adaptation of The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel .

Pride & Prejudice References in Pop Culture (Part 3)

Image
[ Updated 1/29/14 : Replaced previous blurry screen caps with better quality ones, fixed dialogue and more...] I have previously mentioned the Emma Roberts ' teen flick , Wild Child in the Pride & Prejudice References in Pop Culture (Part 2) as one of the movies that referenced P&P movie , but I've never seen the movie until now when ABC Family recently premiered it last Sunday. I had DVR'd it, since I didn't get to see it when it aired. Just saw this movie this past Thursday and now I know which parts/scenes from the movie it references P&P movie and mentions Keira Knightley . I thought it was pretty cool and had to laughed at those two brief  scenes (including one of the characters sketching one of Keira 's Elizabeth Bennet 's costumes/dresses and showed pictures of KK as EB from the P&P movie ...see screen cap collage I made of it on top, to your left or below), as they were funny, lol.

In Theaters Today: Aisha

Image
Looks like Aisha , a new Bollywood version of Jane Austen 's classic Emma is not only showing in theaters in India , but it is also showing worldwide today ( August 6th )! Check out Aisha's Theater listing here to see if it's showing anywhere near your city or country! Hmm, it's not showing in my city/state (Florida). I would love to see Aisha as I love Bollywood movies (even though I'm not Indian nor do I speak Hindi, but with English subtitles, beautiful and colorful costumes,  energetic music, and singing and dancing...they are so fun to watch!) and this one, also, is a Jane Austen movies related (I've seen Bollywood versions of JA 's P&P and S&S both starring Aishwarya Rai and I loved and enjoyed watching them esp. B& P !) Unfortunately, I probably won't see this movie (unless they add one here in my city...) until the DVD is released here in the U.S., which won't be for a while, much like Bride & Prejudice back in 20
