7 MARCH 2008.- SOPHIE MARCEAU TAKES INSPIRATION FROM MEL GIBSON FRENCH actor Sophie Marceau credits Australia's two-time Oscar-winner Mel Gibson for her newfound love of directing. It was while working opposite Gibson as Princess Isabelle in 1995's Braveheart that Marceau discovered she could pair her passion for acting with working behind the camera. ‘‘He was the first actor I worked with who also directed and that was an interesting observation for someone like me,'' Marceau says. ‘‘He takes faith in his hands and does what he has to do. ‘‘He's a big star, but he's free. So it was interesting to see that even if you belong to the big Hollywood system, the big machine, this guy has always been himself. ‘‘Being so close to the way he chose to live his life and being so close to what I wanted to achieve helped me grow.' ' Marceau, who was a model before turning to acting, also cites working on Braveheart as a turning point in her already thriving career. ‘‘It was period of my life where I felt the necessity to get out of the country I was born in and start all over again,'' Marceau says. ‘‘Braveheart was a time in this period where I did a few movies in England and America and I was happy to leave the nest.'' Now Marceau presents her third film as director -- but the first in which she also acts. Trivial, a suspense thriller about a missing luxury-hotel owner, will be shown locally as part of the French Film Festival. The multi-talented star also co-wrote the well-crafted film. ‘‘I really enjoy directing and the process of making a movie. It's very full and accomplishing for me,'' she says. ‘‘But when it's done it's done and then it's the property of people and it's like you can't do anything more. Even to make comments about it is bizarre because my comments are the movie I've made. ‘‘I've been writing since I was a little girl and that has been essential to me for a long time. I really enjoy it.'' The original concept for the film was inspired by Marceau's love of hotels and the mysterious stories that lie behind the closed doors of everyday patrons. ‘‘I love hotels because you can tell so many stories,'' Marceau, 41, says. ‘‘There are so many ins and outs to stories in hotels, and I am sure every hotel has had a murder committed (in it). So that's how it started. ‘‘This movie is also from somewhere very personal because at the end you realise that what you talk about is unconsciously your obsessions, and your fears in life transcend into something that isn't real, like a movie.'' Though an icon in French cinema, Marceau isn't regularly found sashaying up and down red carpets. She'd rather be at home watching a movie with friends. ‘‘More and more I am getting tired of it, maybe because I've been working for a long time now,'' she says. ‘‘I love my job and making something, but everything else that goes with it -- the fame, the glory and all that stuff -- I have always been exposed. But I am a very shy person, so I am much happier with less people around me. ‘‘The less complications I have around me the better I feel.'' |

10 MARCH 2008.- WILLIAM WALLACE RIDES AGAIN
Click Here to watch VIDEO
Source: Edinburgh News
ONE is a Scottish hero famed for his bravery and fighting to protect the freedom of his fellow countrymen – the other is William Wallace.
Now John Smeaton has played the medieval freedom fighter in a video as part of a £100,000 project bringing the tale of the 13th-century patriot to life.
Smeaton donned a kilt and Mel Gibson-inspired wig to play the ghost of Wallace for an Edinburgh Dungeon exhibition .
He shot to fame after taking on terrorists who drove a Jeep Cherokee through the front of Glasgow Airport's terminal building. Thousands took part in an internet campaign to pledge a pint to the baggage handler after he told of how he had "set about" the men as they fought with police.
Now he is helping draw visitors to the Market Street attraction, which will use special effects to recreate the atmosphere of a castle from the Middle Ages.
We don´t want to be unfair but Mel "Wallace" was more gorgeous.
Photo: Mel "Wallace" chats with reporters. "Braveheart", premiere in SCOTLAND (1995)
He said: "I was thrilled to be asked to play William Wallace at the Edinburgh Dungeon.
"Wallace is a hero to all Scots and someone whose battling spirit I have always admired.
"He fought for freedom and that's something I strongly believe in. Wallace is famous for fighting off a foreign invader and paid the ultimate price for Scotland.
"When Glasgow Airport was attacked, I was on my break and just did what came naturally to me and tried to help in any way I could. Some people said I was like a William Wallace for the 21st century, which is a huge honour.
"Now I have the chance to tell Wallace's story to hundreds of thousands of visitors who come to Scotland – I can't wait to pick up the sword and set about them."
Visitors to the Dungeon will find themselves in a 13th-century castle where interactive effects and live actors will bring Wallace's legend to life.
They will experience the glory of victory over the English at the Battle of Stirling Bridge, before learning the tragic tale of Wallace's betrayal and his brutal execution in London.
Finally, the spirit of Wallace himself will explain his passion for Scottish freedom and encourages visitors to continue his struggle.
General manager Iain Scouller said: "We're delighted and really excited about bringing the story of William Wallace to life at the Edinburgh Dungeon. We're aiming to give our visitors the feeling that they are really there – in the depths of medieval Scotland."
He added: "John Smeaton proved that Wallace's fighting spirit and beliefs are alive and well in Scotland today and we're delighted to have John portraying one of Scotland's finest sons."
The new William Wallace attraction at Edinburgh Dungeon is scheduled to open in the week leading up to the Easter weekend.

Mel´s Beautifiul Backyard

"It’s been a while since last time I wrote something, and I really want to keep my blog with fresh content. You might or might not know that the famous actor and movie director Mel Gibson bough some property in Costa Rica right on the beach, and I think that is a very good decision that he made because when he is in Costa Rica his life style would be more relax, by design, and I mean Nature design, just like nature intended, he bought a place that has unique access to this secluded and awesome beach and he and his guests get there using Mel’s House backyard. The property is quite big and the area is big too. In this picture you can only see his backyard access to the beach.
There are problems everywhere...even in the paradise
This is the backyard entrance from the beach … VERY NICE. I LIKE IT."

14 MARCH 2008.- WORST SCOTS FILM ACCENTS DECIDED
Yes, Life is Hard!
Source: BBC News
Scottish filmgoers have voted Christopher Lambert, in the film Highlander, as the owner of the least convincing Scottish on-screen accent.
The actor was a resounding winner with 42% of the vote.
Mel Gibson came in second place with 27%, for his portrayal of William Wallace in the film Braveheart.
Several people in the online survey voted for Sean Connery, but these were discounted as the actor is Scottish.
The survey of 1700 film-goers in Scotland was undertaken by a film memorabilia website, AsWornIn.com.
The company's director, Jeremy Angel, said: "An American audience is typically unaware of just how wide of the mark many of these attempts at Scottish accents are.
"For some of our Scottish staff - and customers - these are source of irritation and amusement in equal measure. "
Highlander, released in 1986, was the saga of immortal Scotsman Connor Macleod, one of a race of immortals who could only die when beheaded with a sword.
Other nominees just shy of the top five included: Alec Guinness in Tunes Of Glory; Eric Stoltz in Rob Roy; Mike Myers in Shrek; Richard Attenborough in Jurassic Park, and Robert Duvall in A Shot at Glory.
LIST OF WINNERS "WORST SCOTS FILM ACCENTS"
- 1.- Christopher Lambert - Connor MacLeod in Highlander

14 MARCH 2008.- MAD MAX GAME COMING
Source: Newsweek
Writer and director George Miller, creator of the Mad Max series of films, has teamed up with God of War II lead Cory Barlog to create a video game adaptation of an upcoming Mad Max sequel.
According to Newsweek's N'Gai Croal, the game will be based on Mad Max: Fury Road, a fourth film in the series that Miller was forced to put on hold following the start of the war in Iraq. Miller now plans to release both the game and movie simultaneously.
Due to his age, Mad Max star Mel Gibson will not be featured in either the movie or video game, according to Miller. The game will of course include melee, projectile, and vehicular combat.
"Cory's working on [the script]. Then we'll be getting together and reviewing it, and we'll slowly get our team together," said Miller on the status of production.
Barlog left his post at SCEA Santa Monica last November during the development of God of War III, and was briefly rumored to be joining God of War creator David Jaffe's new studio Eat, Sleep, Play.

16 MARCH 2008.- THE DROWNER
We pray our hopes won´t be drowned once more
Source: The West Australian
Perth mining billionaire Andrew Forrest and Oscar-winning director Mel Gibson are joining forces to bring Robert Drewe’s celebrated 1996 novel The Drowner to the big screen.
The $30 million production, which is being produced by Gibson’s company Icon Films, will be shot in Perth and the Goldfields and be the biggest budget feature film made solely in this State.
Gibson has yet to agree to direct The Drowner, an epic romance set against the construction of the Mundaring Weir and the Goldfields pipeline.
However, Gibson has told Stephen Van Mil and the other producers that if he’s happy with the screenplay he will direct The Drowner, adding it to his small but impressive CV which includes Braveheart, The Passion of the Christ and Apocalypto.
Casting has yet to begin but high on the filmmakers’ wish-list are Atonement Oscar nominee James McAvoy to play the part of the English engineer who works with C.Y. O’Connor, Emily Blunt, Cate Blanchett and Barry Humphries.
Mr Forrest’s involvement in The Drowner also represents a closing of the circle for the Fortescue Metal magnate, who with a fortune of $7.5 billion is Australia’s richest man.
It was his esteemed ancestor Sir John Forrest who was the State’s Premier at the time and raised the millions of pounds needed to build the pipeline, one of the greatest engineering feats of the age.
Mr Forrest says the opportunity to tell the John Forrest story is not the motivating factor to getting behind The Drowner, nor is it a desire to become a movie mogul.
“My support of films begins and ends with what it can do to improve human consciousness or to improve a culture within a society,” Mr Forrest said.
“Robert Drewe is a great Australian author who depicts Australian history in an interesting and entertaining way, so I am pleased to be associated with The Drowner.”
Mr Forrest, who is well known for his support for the indigenous community, says that the privileged should put their money where their mouths are.
“We’re quick to claim Australians who are doing great things as our own but what are we doing to support them?” Mr Forrest said.
Drewe is thrilled that Mr Forrest and Gibson have come in behind the project, whose screen rights were held by another producer for over a decade until they recently lapsed.
“This is a great Western Australian story but it also a great contemporary story. What could be more relevant than an epic story about water or its lack?” said Drewe, who compared The Drowner to the recent Daniel-Day Lewis Oscar winner There Will Be Blood.
Drewe, who is writing the second instalment of his memoir that he began with The Shark Net, says that WA is still his creative well-spring despite living most of his life in the Eastern States.
The Drowner will not be Mr Forrest’s first involvement in film. He has invested in former Hale School friend Van Mil’s just-completed documentary The Last Trimate, which is centred on Dr Birute Galdikas and her heroic efforts to save Indonesia’s wild orang-utans in the face of disappearing rainforests.
His concern for the environment led him, in typically brash style, to approach Gibson at the Forbes chief executives conference in Singapore in September to persuade him to narrate The Last Trimate.
“I’ve been passionate about rainforests since I first went to Africa at the age of 19. I’ve been extremely blessed to be able to afford a much greater interest in efforts to save our endangered forests.”

Mel Gibson is teaming up with Australia’s richest man to adapt Robert Drewe’s celebrated 1996 novel The Drowner.
It seems entirely appropriate that Andrew Forrest, the Perth iron ore mining magnate whose $7.5 billion AU fortune makes him the country’s richest man, is choosing to become involved with Mel Gibson’s Icon Films in a $30 million film adaptation of Robert Drewe’s 1996 novel The Drowner. Because the late 19th century historical events against which the epic romance is cast occurred at a time when Forrest’s ancestor Sir John Forrest was Premier of the state of Perth.
According to a report in The West Australian, Gibson has told fellow producers that he will direct the film as well, contingent on his approval of the script adaptation a story about an engineer and an actress who head out western Australia, where the engineer then helps C.Y. O’Connor build the Goldfields freshwater pipeline. If it comes to pass as planne, the adaptationof The Drowner would be Gibson’s fifth feature film directorial effort following Apocalypto, The Passion of the Christ, Braveheart and The Man Without a Face.
The paper also mentions that the wish list of actors for the project is topped by James McAvoy for the part of Will Dance and Cate Blanchett as the actress he falls in love with, Angelica Lloyd. Meanwhile, author Drewe is thrilled with his new cinematic suitors, who stepped in after a ten-year option on the novel held by someone else lapsed. It’s possible that the success of There Will Be Blood, a similar story though it has no romance and substitutes oil for water, helped convince Gibson this is a viable project.
This project will mark billionaire Forrest’s second collaboration with Gibson and producer Stephen Van Mil. He invested in Van Mil’s recently completed documentary The Last Trimate, about the efforts of Dr. Biruté Galdikas to save the orangutans of Indonesia, and was instrumental in convincing Gibson to narrate it.

Britney & Mel Gibson's Secret Dinner Meeting
The pair met for a meal at nearby Romanov Restaurant and Lounge on Ventura Blvd., where they dined on some high-priced Russian eats for around two hours.
So what is the connection between these unlikely dinner pals? The most likely culprit is super-powered L.A. attorney Blair Berk, who counts Brit and Mel as clients.
Could the two have been discussing an upcoming project? "It's unlikely that they were talking about working together on anything specific," an industry insider tells OK!. "Although Mel has used a lot of inexperienced actors in his last two films."
More likely, says the insider, Mel was sharing some of his insight into how to handle the negative press."He understands what she's going through," explains the source. "And he certainly has advice on how to not let it destroy your life."
In fact, in 2006, the Braveheart star had plenty to say about the singer. "I feel compassion for someone like Britney," Mel said. "She never gets a moment... Your heart goes out to her because I'm positive that, at her core, she's a good woman."
