Jim Carrey And Jason Reitman Team Up For Pierre Pierre
Jason Reitman, the Oscar-nominated director of Juno, has chosen his next project and I couldn’t be more excited! Reitman is set to team up with Jim Carrey to make Pierre Pierre!
The film, written by Edwin Cannistraci and Frederick Seton, is a politically incorrect story of a French nihilist who takes a stolen painting from Paris to London. Does this mean Carrey will be doing a comedy French accent? Maybe that’s the politically incorrect part?
The budget for the entire film is only $13 million - not even enough to pay Jim Carrey’s wages! This means the pair are doing it for the love, not money so maybe, just maybe, this could turn out to be something very interesting indeed!
Ellen Page Decides Against Going To Hell: Star Drops Out Of Sam Raimi’s Thriller
Since the phenomenal success of Juno, Ellen Page has become Hollywood’s golden girl - and rightly so! In the aftermath of the Oscars, Ellen was inundated with lots of film offers and, like anyone would, she agreed to many of them. However it seems Page has had a change of heart and has walked away from Sam Raimi’s supernatural thriller ‘Drag Me To Hell’.
The reason behind Ellen’s departure is said to be scheduling conflicts and with many movies, including ‘Peacock’ and Drew Barrymore’s ‘Whip It’, it’s understandable - we don’t want this girl to be worn out!
Ghost House and Mandate, who are backing the project, have said in a joint statement,
“We were racing to start production so that we could accommodate Ellen’s schedule. But like so many other productions trying to start before the potential SAG strike date, this one needed more time, and we had to push back the start of production.”
It’s a shame to see Ellen walk away from this one - she was great in Hard Candy so we expected her to be awesome in Raimi’s thriller.
