'The Others' director Alejandro Amenabar returns to genre filmmaking

After making a smashing English-language debut in 2001 with "The Others," Spanish director Alejandro Amenabar hasn't been quite as busy in Hollywood as one might have hoped. He returned to Spain for his follow-up, the euthanasia-themed biopic "The Sea Inside," and picked up the Best Foreign Language Film Oscar for his efforts. In 2009, he returned to international filmmaking with the Rachel Weisz-starring historical drama "Agora," an ambitious but rather turgid affair that didn't find much of an audience.

Since then, things have been rather quiet -- so it's good to see the writer-director returning to genre filmmaking with the Spanish-American co-production "Regression." The film, on which principal photography has just wrapped, stars Emma Watson and Ethan Hawke in a psychological thriller -- in the literal sense.

Watson plays a young woman who accuses her father ("Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy" star David Dencik) of sexual abuse; when he admits guilt but no recollection of the abuse, a psychologist (David Thewlis) is recruited to extract his memories, uncovering a nationwide conspiracy in the process. Hawke plays the detective investigating the girl's case.

The synopsis suggests hints of the thematic territory Amenabar covered in his first two features, "Tesis" and "Open Your Eyes" -- the latter of which was remade by Cameron Crowe as "Vanilla Sky." (Coincidentally or otherwise, Watson's character shares a name -- Angela -- with the protagonist of Amenabar's debut.)

Intrigued? You have a while to wait still: The Weinstein Company's Dimension branch will distribute the film in the US, and has announced a release date of August 28, 2015. Not the luckiest spot on the calendar, but I'm keen to see how it turns out. I wonder if a title change might be in order, though -- "Regression" isn't the most auspicious of monikers, but maybe that's me.

Stunning!! Only she could make that dress work.

 

[chickadee]

Her make-up/skin is fab, but the dress is not my favorite at all.

Another gorgeous look. Love the pop of colour with the lip.

 

[saffronthecolor]

^Love her minimal looks!

I think the Dior dress from earlier is just plain ugly

 

[HeatherAnne]

She looks fantastic lately beauty wise, I'm loving her with a middle part.

 

[YoninahAliza]

Really loved both of Emma's last two looks. That dress probably isn't that easy to pull off, there is a lot going on, but it works very well in this case. And I'm loving that shirt in the last set of pictures, the way it draped and designed is very elegant.

 

[eizhowa]

I prefer the dress to the jeans + top combo, but I am not loving either looks

 

[SussyBela]

My girl looks gorgeous as usual!

 

[immortalbliss]

She looks gorgeous. Much prefer the Dior look over the Valli look.

UN Women announces Emma Watson as Goodwill Ambassador UN Women, the United Nations organization dedicated to gender equality and the empowerment of women, today announced the appointment of British Actress, Emma Watson, as Goodwill Ambassador.

Best known for her role as Hermione Granger in the ‘Harry Potter’ film series, the accomplished actress, humanitarian, and recent graduate of Ivy League institution, Brown University, will dedicate her efforts as UN Women Goodwill Ambassador towards the empowerment of young women and will serve as an advocate for UN Women’s HeForShe campaign in promoting gender equality.

“We are thrilled and honored to work with Emma, whom we believe embodies the values of UN Women,” stated Phumzile Mlambo-Ngcuka, Under-Secretary-General and Executive Director, UN Women. “The engagement of young people is critical for the advancement of gender equality in the 21st century, and I am convinced that Emma’s intellect and passion will enable UN Women’s messages to reach the hearts and minds of young people globally,” added Ms. Mlambo-Ngcuka.

Ms. Watson has been involved in the promotion of girls' education for several years, and previously visited Bangladesh and Zambia as part of her humanitarian efforts.

"Being asked to serve as UN Women’s Goodwill Ambassador is truly humbling. The chance to make a real difference is not an opportunity that everyone is given and is one I have no intention of taking lightly. Women’s rights are something so inextricably linked with who I am, so deeply personal and rooted in my life that I can’t imagine an opportunity more exciting. I still have so much to learn, but as I progress I hope to bring more of my individual knowledge, experience and awareness to this role,” said Ms. Watson.

Ms. Watson is the first Goodwill Ambassador appointment under Ms. Mlambo-Ngcuka’s leadership.
