Posted 2/14/11 3:35 pm EST by in Casting Call, News


Firth and KidmanIt was only a matter of time before likable stars and critical darlings Colin Firth and Nicole Kidman teamed up on a project together, but who could have guessed it would be the unlikely duo of Park Chan-Wook and Wentworth Miller that would bring them together?

Nicole Kidman Does A Twirl On The Set Of 'Just Go With It'

Posted 4/23/10 2:28 pm EST by in Photos


This summer, a bunch of "Saturday Night Live" alumni will be brought together in the movie "Grown-Ups," directed by Dennis Dugan. For his next trick, Dugan will be tackling "Just Go With It," starring Jennifer Aniston, Adam Sandler, Nicole Kidman and Heidi Montag. It must be a tough gig, all those laborious days of shooting in sunny Hawaii.

Kidman is clearly struggling, as you can see in the set photo below. Aniston too; she's the one facing away from the camera. And Sandler? He's on the set, but not in the picture. Probably because he's crying in the corner, his spirit broken by the challenge of shooting under such tough tropical conditions.
