Winslet Teams Up With Mendes For Circus Film

Actress Kate Winslet is teaming up with her Oscar-winning director husband Sam Mendes to work on a new movie.

Winslet, who has been married to the American Beauty filmmaker for three years, has been interested in playing the role of 1920s circus tiger tamer Mabel Stark since 2003.​

And now Mendes' company, Neal Street Productions, has bought the rights to adapt a fictionalised life of Stark by author Robert Hough.
The couple's spokeswoman Sara Keene says, "It's a great story, they've had their eye on it for a while. If they can get the script right, it would make a great film."
However, the pair will be keen to avoid the same fate as other husband-and-wife projects, like Guy Ritchie's Swept Away starring Madonna, and Rachel Weisz's role in The Fountain, directed by fiance Darren Aronofsky - both of which were commercial failures

Kate Winslet has turned her Oscar week into a family affair by bringing husband Sam Mendes and their young children Mia and Joe along for the ride. "It's half-term for my kids, so it made sense to turn the Oscars into a family holiday," she told me. "We've been swimming and done lots of visits to places the kids loved.

"Sam has babysat while I've tried on my frock and sorted out what I'm going to wear on the night," added Kate, who's been nominated for a record fifth time for her role as a bored and restless housewife in Little Children.
Kate wouldn't give away any details about what she'll wear, but I have learned the odd little thing - mostly about what she's not doing.
She's not going with her favourite designer Ben di Lisi (because he'd already created her dress for the Baftas). And her dress won't be black. Apparently, it's a "shade one doesn't usually see on the red carpet".
"Wait and see," Kate said mysteriously.
The actress told me she'd been surprised to be nominated. "It's such a small, independent film, and frankly, I didn't think any Academy members would notice it," she said. All the Academy voters I spoke to this week mentioned a particular scene in the film where Kate, who is having an affair with a neighbour, attends a housewives' book club and has to remain inscrutable as she and the other women discuss Flaubert's Madame Bovary and his heroine's adulterous entanglements.

"I'm not a concept. I want you to just keep that in your head.
Too many guys think I'm a concept or I complete them
or I'm going to make them alive, but I'm just a f***ed-up girl
who is looking for my own peace of mind. Don't assign me yours.”

Nominated for Best Actress for her role in Little Children, Kate Winslet is the Minimalist of this year's award season.

Signature Look:Solid colored gowns in simple and classic silhouettes, accented by major bling. Hair is either in long, loose waves, or pinned into a clean bun.

Favorite Designers: Who isn't her favorite? Zac Posen, Dolce & Gabbana, Carmen Marc Valvo and Escada are just a few she's worn in the last few months. She also likes Rodo and Roger Vivier clutches.

What Will She Wear: Because she's such a designer butterfly, it's tough to predict. But count on clean lines and a vibrant hue for her Oscar-night look.

Love her, love her. I bet that mint green color looked even more fantastic in person. Hair was elegant, make-up was flawless. She was one of my best dressed.
