One of the actresses I hate the most just picked up a cameo role in the upcoming “Lovelace” film. EW is reporting that Sarah Jessica Parker (“Sex and the City”) has taken over for Demi Moore as Gloria Steinem in the biopic about Linda Lovelace. The talentless actress joins Amanda Seyfried (“In Time”), Peter Sarsgaard (“Jarhead”), Sharon Stone (“Total Recall”), Adam Brody (“Mr. and Mrs. Smith”) and James Franco (“127 Hours”). Originally, after Moore dropped out of the role Mary-Louise Parker (“RED”) was rumored to take over, which would have been awesome, but Hollywood said “nay-nay” to what would have been a good decision. There isn’t a single actress I despise more than Sarah Jessica Parker, and I have given up on her entirely. From unjustly being cast as a “beautiful woman” on an HBO show, to being unjustifiably called a “talented” actress in cinema, this woman could not impress me less. Count me out on this one.

Jennifer Connelly (“Blood Diamond”) has signed on to her next project. She is the perfect example of what Sarah Jessica Parker is not, i.e. beautiful and talented, and is now set to join Greg Kinnear (“We Were Soldiers”) in “Writers” a film about the relationship between a well-established novelist (Kinnear), his ex-wife (Connelly) and their children. THR has learned that Judy Cairo (“Crazy Heart”) will be producing the indie drama. The film has yet to cast the two children: A college-age daughter and a teenage son. Given the “parents” I would love to see Mary Elizabeth Winstead (“The Thing”) as the daughter and Haley Joel Osment (“The Sixth Sense”) as the son, but that would just be too perfect. The film marks the directorial debut of Josh Boone, who also wrote the screenplay. With two fantastic actors heading up the project how can it go wrong?

The Playlist is reporting that Darren Aronofky’s (“Black Swan”) long awaited biblical epic, “Noah,” will finally start shooting this summer. The film is about the lead up to the biblical flood, and follows the life of Noah, a weary warrior turned to peace. As many know, the story of Noah is that he built a great arc, gathered two of every animal, and was spared when God cleansed the Earth with a great flood to purify his creation of evil. Michael Fassbender (“300”) has long been linked to the role of Noah, and that is perfect casting. Having Fassbender take on such an important role, while he is quickly becoming Hollywood’s go to guy, seems like the best financial and creative decision Aronofsky can make. Darren is one of those directors who need complete creative control over his films in order to make them a mind-blowing experience. Hopefully he never sells out and continues to march to the sound of his drumming instead of major studios.
