Thank you so much, dear! She looks fantastic!
Girls, we are angels, eagles! To dive is to fly. Set yourself free of the shackles of conformity. Let nothing hold you back except the air itself. You are between heaven and earth. The rules no longer apply.
Mickey Rourke & Eva Green have signed on to star in the remake of Neil Jordan's classic gangster film Mona Lisa.
The film will now be set in the US and Rourke will play an ex-con who takes a job as a chauffeur for Green's charachter who is a high-class prostitute.
Larry Clark (Kids) is writing and directing the remake which starts filming this July in New York.

Stormy-eyed French beauty Eva Green seems set to play the 20th century opera legend Maria Callas. The Hollywood Reporter said she was as "in talks" so it may not be a done deal, but IMDb has no less than two Callas biopics listed for Green, so I'm betting at least one of them is right.
Callas was huge in the late 40's through the 70's. Jackie O. was still just Jacqueline Kennedy when Callas was sleeping with rich guy, Aristotle Onassis. Leonard Bernstein called her "The Bible of Opera." You'll hear that on NPR for sure when this film comes out.
Born in NY into a Greek family, Callas made a name for herself performing in Greece and Italy, then went onto worldwide fame. The film is apparently being co-produced by Callas' favorite luxury crystal company, Swarovski, whose decadence she publicly indulged in. I can't wait to see Eva Green all dolled up in those goods.
Green is also playing the part of Morgana in the TV series "Camelot" which began filming in Ireland. Irish media has at least twice reported her character as "Morgan," and I'm inclined to chastise them, as any self respecting mythical lore enthusiast knows Arthur's naughty half-sister's name is "Morgana le Fey." They say things fookin' differently over there though, so who knows -- but when in doubt, always defer to Helen Mirren roles -- who played Morgana in the film bible of Arthurian legend, "Excalibur." For my thoughts on scores for medieval fantasy pictures set in the UK see Clannad.
Green is a good match for Callas' elegant style.

the-match-factory.comSitting alone on the deck of an isolated beach house, Rebecca recalls how life led to what she considers the “gift” in her enlarged
belly…
As a little girl visiting her grandfather, shy Rebecca befriends ginger-haired Tommy. They quickly develop a profound friendship during
their summer adventures in the remote coastal area. But their fairy-tale romance comes to an end when Rebecca must follow her mother
to faraway Tokyo.
Twelve years later, young woman Rebecca returns to settle in her late grandfather’s house. She seeks out childhood friend Tommy, now
a university student living on his own. Their reunion is marked by a strong mutual attraction. As they get to know one another better,
Rebecca discovers that Tommy has harbored deep feelings for her too since their time together as children. But their passionate relationship
is short-lived when Tommy is killed in a freak car accident.
Devastated, Rebecca feels that life cannot go on without Tommy. She turns to the controversial “Department of Genetic Replication” for
an option. Although wary of the potential repercussions, Tommy’s parents reluctantly agree to supply Rebecca with the necessary DNA
sample for her to bear a new Tommy in her womb.
Life with little Tommy is full of joy and wonder. Rebecca completely devotes herself to “just us two”, living isolated in the middle-of-nowhere
shore community. But Rebecca cannot fully escape the complexities of her decision as the years pass. How long will she be able to hide
the truth from new Tommy and nosy townsfolk? Can she protect him from prejudice against “copies”? When he grows to manhood in
the exact image of her beloved, how will Rebecca explain away the confusing urges that new Tommy doesn’t understand?
Chilling answers unravel as Rebecca prepares for the bittersweet fruition of a lifelong dream.
