Michelle Pfeiffer will make a cameo in 'The Prince & The Pauper'

It looks like the last day of the year comes loaded of great news. As this new year will be released three new films starred by Michelle Pfeiffer, I Could Never Be Your Woman, Strardust and Hairspray, now we have to add a new release for this year, it is The Prince & The Pauper remake where Michelle will make a cameo accordig to MovieHole.net.

The movie produced by Sony Pictures is currently shooting in West Palm Beach, Florida, and will be until Christmas (according Imdb.com, the movie is already in post-production). It’ll be squeezed onto a 2007 release schedule shortly. The Executive Production is being done by Jonathan Krane who was behind the “Look Who’s Talking” movies, and it's being directed by James Quattrochi. Other big name associated with the project is executive producer Bobby Moresco, producer of the triple Oscar-winner Crash.

The film is inspired by Mark Twain’s vintage yarn about a prince and a beggar trading places and it's starred by the tiny twosome from Adam Sandler pic “Big Daddy”, siblings Cole and Dylan Sprouse (who are considered the male version of the more famous Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen) as the prince and the pauper and co-starred by Ed Lauter (“Not Another Teen Movie”), Sally Kellerman, Vincent Spano (“Silence”), Dean Cain and Dedee Pfeiffer, Michelle's sister, who had already coincided with her in Into The Night, Frankie & Johnny and Up Close & Personal.

'Stardust' in 10 must-see films of 2007 list

According MovieHole.net Stardust is one of the main movies (it is placed on the second place) to see in 2007. Site-colaborator Clint Morris has done a list with the "10 MUST-SEE FILMS OF 2007", he writes:

"It’s funny, I’m always going on about my barefaced dislike for sequels, remakes, prequels and spin-offs, and yet here, on my ‘Must See’ List for 2007 are a bunch of ‘em.

I guess the difference – well, I hope so anyway – is that these sequels, things like “Spider-Man 3”, will actually deliver (judging by what we’ve seen on them so far, it seems they do) unlike things like “X-Men 3”, “Pirates of the Caribbean 2” and “The Grudge 2” which were all about as tasty as a satay chicken milkshake. And aside from the fact that there will always be an interest factor with such films (especially films like the “Halloween” remake), I’m also of the belief that this sequel/remake trend isn’t going anywhere, so I might as well accept it, and try and sort the gold from the bronze."

And so he has placed Stardust on the 2nd place behind Quentin Tarantino's Grindhouse: "#2. Stardust - Saw some footage of this recently, and I tell ya, this looks grand – “Princess Bride” grand. Neil Gaiman’s richly-coloured fairytale looks like it’s going to be a delight for the whole family, and with its all-star cast (Robert De Niro, Michelle Pfeiffer, Claire Danes), I’m already betting it’ll be one of the big hits of 2007. Considering co-star Ricky Gervais has turned down a few hundred scripts since cracking it with “The Office”, this must be OK."

Michelle Pfeiffer, one of the faces to watch in 2007

According USAWeekend.com in its the New Year special Edition, Michelle Pfeiffer will be one of the "Faces to watch in 2007", so it's titled the article.

Lorrie Lynch, the journalist, writes: "Dear readers: Every week, I keep you up-to-date on your favorite stars. This week, I bring you a look at some people you need to know in the coming year. Now, go dazzle friends with your knowledge at that New Year's brunch. And have a happy 2007. "

"Michelle Pfeiffer is back. She hasn't been seen onscreen in five years because she has been raising her two kids. But Pfeiffer, 48, is in three '07 films. First, there's a February romantic comedy, "I Could Never Be Your Woman," then a July fantasy, "Stardust," co-starring Robert De Niro, followed by the summer musical "Hairspray," with John Travolta."

» Fotogramas, January 2007, publishes an article with the most important points of the year titled "26 Flashes for 2007" and one of these flashes, the fourth, is dedicated to Michelle (although you can see the scan of the article, here you can read the translation): "The much talked of return. Michelle Pfeiffer will come back to display the most symmetrical (and beautiful) glance of the Eighties. And besides in two movies: Stardust (Mathew Vaughn) and I Could Never Be Your Woman (Amy Heckerling). So she will compensate to us the five years she's been away from the big screen".

» And Cinemania, January 2007, publishes in an article about the movies which will released on 2007 and among them it talks about ICNBYW and Stardust. From every movie they give us three points, "What?" about the plot summary, "Who?" about the starring and "Why?" why we have to watch...

'I Could Never Be Your Woman' without release date nor distributor

Then a long wait to the release of the movie, now I Could Never Be Your Woman hasn't release date, it is unknown. March 2nd has been scrapped, and will not be moved back to Valentine's Day.

On the other hand the distributor has been changed from MGM to unknown.... really all this thing is too rare.

I guess all this can come from the latest troubles into Bauer Martinez company. The past December 13, I read some news, according Variety site, which said that just a year after Philippe Martinez opened his film company, Bauer Martinez Entertainment, and announced his intention to build the biggest indie studio in Hollywood, the company is downsizing: About 20% of the company's 35-person staff has been let go, the studio confirmed. It is ue to the poor box office performance of the company's last two films, "National Lampoon's Van Wilder: The Rise of Taj" and "Harsh Times."

The pics were both released via MGM though a three-picture distribution pact Bauer Martinez has with the studio. Under the pact, MGM has the option to put up the P&A for the films, though confusion over those terms affected the marketing campaign for "Harsh Times." As reported, MGM had originally expected Bauer to pay for the film's marketing, but ultimately it was MGM that paid. That misunderstanding, as well as issues related to Bauer clearing the rights to the film, caused a delay in publicity.

And Variety also commented that MGM is also releasing the upcoming Bauer Martinez pic "I Could Never Be Your Woman," starring Michelle Pfeiffer. But after that film is released, it is not expected the two companies will continue to do business together.

So I don't know if finally the movie will be released by MGM or not. If we were so glad with the release of the wonderful movie trailer, now that happiness is being obscured for this news.

Thanks Juanita for the info; rest from Variety

Finally 'I could Never Be Your Woman' releases its trailer!!.

Hey Pfans, we can see the trailer of I Could Never Be Your Woman... I've just to do and really it is so so funny!! Enjoy!

Thanks Blondie18 for the info

A poster version of 'I could Never Be Your woman' has been published.

Well, we've already got one version of I Could Never Be your Woman, it must be written in Russian, Bielorussian or any dialect of Cirilic languaje. Although I don't think it is an official poster (it's my opinion)... maybe the site webmasters have designed the poster to be upload to the site, you can see it at Worst Previews.

Really the poster is too easy and simple and it has been used one of the pics which were published on Bauer Martinez Studios site to promote the movie... but on the the hand the poster has been published in two sites: one found by ABigPfan! and the other one by Juanita... so really... I don't sure if it could be the original one or not.

Anyway, I guess the official poster in english must be on soon. Let's wait!

Thanks "ABigPfan!" and Juanita for the info

More about Michelle Pfeiffer in the 'Stardust' tests-screening

And today, a new review about the first 'Stardust' tests-screening has been published at Ain't It Cool News. Now it's Moriarty (one of the web-colaborators and who visited the filming set) who writes. You can read the fabulous full article clicking here.

The following part are the referred ones to Michelle in the review:

"Michelle Pfeiffer as the witch queen as also phenomenal. I truly enjoyed watching her, but who doesn’t? Though you recognize her immediately under all that makeup – as long as that woman has those phenomenal eyes, no makeup department in the universe will ever be able to fully disguise her – when she’s in scary witch mode she’s freakin’ terrifying. The way she pulled off her act of manipulation during the climactic battle was so cruel and perfect I wanted to stand up and applaud. One thing that was interesting is how she uses her entire body to convey balefulness when she’s in full-on witch mode. She hunched, swaggered, moved like a creature of immense power and arrogance. It was great. The only other time I remember her doing something similar was in one of those “Batman” movies."

Whe he talks about the relationships in the movie, about the witches he says: "The witch sisters, lead by Pfeiffer, convey a sense of competitive rivalry and intra-group duty that anyone who has siblings will recognize."

And about the movie in fact he says: "'Stardust' is a fun movie. It’s romantic in a way that is not irritating, it has a huge sense of adventure, it’s not boring, the acting is great. When the special effects are in, it’s going to be even cooler. You can safely put this on your list of things to see once they’re done with it. But if you’re a fan of the book, don’t go in expecting to see the book."

Thanks Juanita for providing the info.

Good reviews for the 'Stardust' first tests-screening

Ain't It Cool News site has got two reviews of the Stardust's test-screening. The two guys who write saw an early cut of the giant Fantasy Epic and that this is far from being the version we'll see in theaters next July and both of the reviews the site has so far are positive.

You can read the full two reviews at Ain't It Cool News web. Here, you can read the parts I've saved where they referred Michelle Pfeiffer. It seems Michelle could steal the show again!

According the first review, it says:

"There's not much I can negatively say about this film. They called it a 'rough cut,' but other than the unfinished effects, this film looked ready for theatres."

"Basically, this feels like a close cousin to Princess Bride, only with a decent budget. That same tongue-in-cheek spirit is at play here, but it never takes away from the suspense."

"There was a great balance of humor and action and it all came across very organically."

When he describes the plot, he says about Lamia, "played by an over-the-top Michelle Pfeiffer"

"The casting was top-notch, and there are no real 'look, there's so-and-so' moments. Sure, De Niro, Danes, Gervais, and Pfeiffer are all big names, but they're so pitch-perfectly cast that they own their characters. The chemistry is everywhere it should be, between Yvaine and Tristan, between Tristan and Dunstan, between Lamia and her sisters, and between Septimus and his brothers. This movie reignited my crush for Claire Danes, who was everything a star should be: sharp and radiant. The big surprise was Charlie Cox, whom I'm not familiar with. He carried this film splendidly, and his transformation from kid to hero was gradual and very believable. He was likeable, and easy to root for. Mark Strong carried a strength and menace as Septimus, and Michelle Pfeiffer pulled off the wicked and sinister Lamia. But it wasn't just the principals, but everyone, who made this movie work, and at no point did I think, 'So-and-so would've been much better for that part.'"

"I think I've rambled on long enough. It's safe to say that I loved the film and hope that they don't touch the cut I saw, just polish it a little. The tone is perfect Gaiman, and the movie will appeal to kids and their parents without either feeling out of their realm. There's nothing dumbed-down about this film, despite its family-friendliness. This is my favorite fantasy offering since Lord of the Rings and I'll be standing in line the day it comes to theatres."

The scond review sorter also talks about Michelle:

"Michelle Pfeiffer as the evil witch Lamia chews scenery throughout most of the film, though the early scenes in which she exposits on the plot with her two equally witchy sisters goes on for far too long and should be cut"

I hope it has been enought interesting to don't be able to wait to see the film!
Thanks Dennis for providing us the info.
