Evan Rachel Wood & "Ides Of March" listed in HitFix's Oscars 2012 prediction

What a reeeally slow news for the past weeks! This isn't a news, but a really nice feature about Oscars 2012 prediction by HitFix, where they include our girl Evan Rachel Wood and her upcoming movie "Ides of March". Read the excerpts below:

It's a year of ingenues
We'll talk about Ms. Streep's chances at finally winning a third best actress prize in a minute, but 2012 is clearly looking like the younger ladies could dominate both acting races. The list of contenders includes Elizabeth Olsen ("Martha Marcy May Marlene"), Felicity Jones ("Like Crazy"), Jennifer Lawrence ("Like Crazy"), Kristen Stewart ("On the Road"), Michelle Williams ("My Week with Marilyn"), Kirsten Dunst ("Melancholia"), Bryce Dallas Howard ("The Help"), Jessica Chastain ("The Help," "Take Shelter"), Keira Knightley ("A Dangerous Method"), Scarlett Johansson ("We Brought a Zoo"), Evan Rachel Wood ("The Ides of March") and Anna Kendrick ("50/50"). Needless to say, the roles for ladies have much improved over the past 12 months.

Another George Clooney double take
When George Clooney plays the Oscar game he's made it a habit -- or a coincidence -- of usually having more than one picture in the game. In 2005, Clooney was nominated for best director and best original screenplay for "Good Night, and Good Luck," but took home his first statue for best supporting actor for his work in "Syriana." In 2010, Clooney was nominated for best actor for "Up in the Air" and provided the lead voice in best animated feature film nominee "Fantastic Mr. Fox" (and yes, we know he was nominated for best actor in 2008 for "Michael Clayton" and that was it, but please don't throw water on our theory yet). This season, Clooney is directing and appearing in "The Ides of March" as well as starring in Alexander Payne's potential frontrunner "The Descendants." Don't be surprised if it's 2005 all over again for Clooney.

Looking at how good "Up In The Air" was, I really believe in George Clooney! Still I'm hoping a stills or teaser trailer will come up very soon *fingers crossed*. And maybe our girl Evan will get a shot at the Oscars next year -- who knows? ;D

"Ides Of March" to be released in Venice Film Festival?

Although this news hasn't been confirmed yet, I'm pretty excited about it! According to The Playlist, movies that will be released at the Venice Film Festival are announced, and seems like Evan Rachel Wood's upcoming "Ides Of March" is likely included. Again, there's no confirmation about this, but *finger crossed* that it will be true!

And there are even more high-profile films looking likely, although yet to be confirmed. Steven Soderbergh has two possibilities, actioner “Haywire” and thriller “Contagion,” while Steven Spielberg could bow either of “The Adventures of Tintin” or “War Horse”—although we imagine the latter, not due for release until December, is less likely, and if the former appears, it will likely be out of competition. George Clooney‘s also got two films said to be in contention, Alexander Payne‘s “The Descendants,” in which he stars, and the political drama “The Ides of March,” in which Clooney directs Ryan Gosling, Paul Giamatti, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Jeffrey Wright, Marisa Tomei and Evan Rachel Wood.

Looking at most movie sites considering "Ides Of March" as a 'high profile project', I'm quite optimistic that this movie will be good. I mean, look at the cast! x) And since Ryan Gosling himself confirmed that it's an ensemble cast movie, let's hope Evan gets a bigger role than we all expected. ;D

Ryan Gosling talks "Ides Of March"

Evan Rachel Wood's handsome and talented co-star Ryan Gosling talks a bit about their next project together "Ides Of March". Not much of an update though, but at least he revealed something about the movie, that it's an 'ensemble piece'.

And the George Clooney film, The Ides of March. Are you the lead?
It’s an ensemble piece. My character is the one who takes this downward spiral. He’s an idealistic but he loses his idealism, and he becomes involved in the dirty pool of politics that he swore he would never do.

I actually also thought that Ryan is the leading man in this film, but since he said that it's an ensemble-cast film then it surely has more than one plot. I really hope Evan will have a bigger part than we all expected. ;)

Click here if you want to read Ryan's full interview with North Wales Pioneer, where he talked about "Blue Valentine", his upcoming "Drive", and his previous projects "Lars and the Real Girl" and "Half Nelson". Now that Ryan is in Cannes let's hope he'll talk more about "Ides Of March"!

Alexandre Desplat will score Evan Rachel Wood's "Ides of March"

Finally an update from Evan Rachel Wood-starring movie "Ides of March"! This isn't related to Evan though, but this is a pretty worthy news. Alexandre Desplat, the composer of upcoming "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 2", "Tree of Life", and "A Better Life", will score for "Ides Of March" according to Film Music Reporter.

Film Music Reporter has learned that Alexandre Desplat has signed on to score the drama The Ides of March. George Clooney directs and stars in the film about a young press spokesman, played by Ryan Gosling, who falls prey to backroom politics, the treacherous manipulations of veteran operatives and the seduction of a young intern. The movie is an adaptation of the Broadway play Farragut North and co-stars Philip Seymour Hoffman, Paul Giamatti, Evan Rachel Wood, Marisa Tomei, Max Minghella and Jeffrey Wright. Clooney adapted the play for the screen with Grant Heslov who previously co-wrote the director’s Academy-Award-nominated drama Good Night, and Good Luck. The project marks Clooney’s fourth directorial feature effort. He most recently worked with composer Randy Newman on the 2008 romantic comedy Leatherheads. Sony Pictures is planning to open The Ides of March on October 14, 2011 in limited release and expand through the holidays and Awards season.

From the cast and crew to the composer, I think this movie will be 'Oscar worthy' as well! Stay tune for more updates from "Ides of March"!

Casting call for "Ides of March"!

I just found this great news from Ann Arbor.com, that "Ides of March" is currently opening a casting call for extras! The George Cloone-directed movie is reportedly going to film on University of Michigan's Ann Arbor Campus in week of March 14. They are looking for 'thousands' volunteer extras to film the scenes. More details:

Anyone interested and able to commit a full (up to 12 hours) weekday to being on the set of the movie is asked to e-mail their name, age, height, weight, phone number, and a recent picture or two to IoMExtras@gmail.com, with "March Volunteer" in the subject line.

For updates and additional information, visit www.RyanHillCasting.com.

The bulk of "Ides"' filming is slated to take place around Detroit and Cincinnati. The film will star Clooney, as well as Ryan Gosling, Paul Giamatti, Marisa Tomei, Philip Seymour Hoffman and Evan Rachel Wood.

Based on Beau Willimon's play "Farragut North," "Ides" casts Clooney as a Howard Dean-type presidential hopeful, while Gosling plays the lead character — a wunderkind press secretary who finds himself embroiled in the ugly world of back-room politics.

I wish I lived in the US! Hopefully for those of you who are signing up for this will have a great time on the set (don't forget to take pictures with Evan!)

"Ides of March" is still filming in Cincinnati

As the "Ides of March" has begun filming, I'm currently stalking any appearances of George Clooney in Cincinnati, in case we'll get to see our girl Evan on the set. Unfortunately, there's no picture of her until now. Cincinnati.com reported that they will film in Cincinnati for three or four weeks. And for those who live in Cincinnati and saw any Evan appearances I do really hope you'll post the picture online! ;)

"Ides of March" has started filming!

Some reports said that George Clooney, the director, has begun scouting for filming locations and finally he will start in Cincinnati. Here's the details of the filming locations from Cincinnati.com:

Clooney filmed at Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport on Wednesday, said Sgt. Greg Lewton, the Cincinnati police officer assigned to the film crew.

Northside businesses were told he will shoot exteriors of Ace Hardware and Electric on Hamilton Avenue Thursday.

"They're going to shoot the outside of the building," said Bill Dickhaus, 85, owner of the store since 1955.

Asked if being in a Hollywood film was the biggest thing to happen at his store, Dickhaus said: "We're going to find out."

Parking will be prohibited on Hamilton Avenue Thursday, but the street will remain open to traffic, said Jim Blase, owner of Shake It Records on Hamilton Avenue.

Pictures of covered parking meters and no parking signs were posted on Twitter today. The social media site has been buzzing with Clooney movie sightings in this area for a week.

But there have not been any reports of scenes filmed yet, with stars Ryan Gosling, Marisa Tomei, Evan Rachel Wood, Paul Giamatti, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Jeffrey Wright or Max Minghella.

Miami students tweeted about Clooney's Oxford visit last Thursday to Miami's Farmer School of Business, where he had scouted locations in November.

A photo of Gosling with fans at the Whole Foods Market in Rookwood Commons was posted Sunday. He stars as a first-time campaign staffer caught up in dirty tricks.

Clooney, Gosling and Wood watched the Super Bowl Sunday with the film crew in a private room at BlackFinn Restaurant & Saloon Downtown, People.com reported this week.

Clooney "was really nice and down to earth," and left a generous tip, according to the website.

Up to 26 locations throughout Greater Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky will be used for "Ides of March" over three or four weeks, the Greater Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky Film Commission announced last month.

At least 16,000 people have applied to be "Ides of March" background extras in the past month.

Check back to this site for the filming photos whenever I found one soon!
