New Affliate
I've added a new affliate, Colin Firth Online. Great site, check it out! Site button coming soon.
Toronto International Film Festival
Laura was in Toronto for the premiere of Love Actually at the Elgin Theatre. It was screened Sunday evening as well as Monday. Unfortunately, I have school and couldn't get down to Toronto so there won't be any experiences for this one. For the first time since 2000 she was back in my hometown and I couldn't even go :( A few pics are available. Click here to see the official one sheet thanks to Ruth @ discoverkate. And this is Laura with Colin Firth in Toronto and then Rodigo Santero at the premiere of Carandiru also in TO.

Laura in San Fran
Currently, Laura's been spotted in San Fransisco at the Pride Parade, much like the one here in Toronto. Laura was with good friend Armistead Maupin and dressed in costume of Mary Ann Singleton from Tales of the City. She also met with wannabe CA governor Bill Simon and 15-year old Marina Gatto.
As for the pics...I hate picture galleries but it's coming along. Slowly.

Under Construction
I'm redoing this site again so a lot of things may not show up. It's pretty much just a reorganization. My picture galleries are really getting on my nerves. So stay tuned for a little change.

Laura Linney's son???
Ok, not really. But I apparently spoke too soon about the Mothman Prophecies Special Edition. There is a scene with Kevin. Full review tomorrow.

Kinsey still going
Liam Neeson was recently in Indiana researching his upcoming role in the tentatively titled Kinsey. No mention if Laura went with him. Looks like the movie is still going on though. It seems like it's been talked about for a long time and they haven't really started pre-production. We could be in for a long wait.

Who wants to go to Alaska?
I certainly would. It turns out that Laura Linney will be at the 2003 Last Frontier Theatre Conference. She's a newcomer to the event which is held in Valdez, Alaska June 19 - 29. It includes workshops, screenings, lectures, lunches, etc. Seriously, everything an aspiring actor could want. Laura will be teaching a master class workshop called Acting with Laura Linney and she will be master of cermonies for one of the evenings. Her father, Romulus Linney will also be present. And it's pretty cheap too! Assuming getting to Alaska is cheap and easy for you. $15 for a single day's events. $25 for evening events. Everything together is $255. 4 of her films will also be watched. More info is at ValdezLink.

Kinsey locations - New York
It seems that Kinsey is in fact being moved. How wonderful. Yeah, it's filming in New York. That's good for Laura cos then she can go home at the end of the day. It's just too bad Toronto couldn't do it. Stupid SARS crap. Don't even get me started on that. Hmm, well more news on Kinsey as I get it. I'm actually kinda confused about this. I'm starting to think this film may never get made. There was quite a bit of adversity to it when it was announced and there is still no news about it. And as far as most people know, no production company, distributor (altho Fox Searchlight was rumoured to take it on), no anything. Oh well, time will tell.

TLODG on video/DVD
Life of David Gale is coming out on video in July 22, 2003. Which personally, I think is pretty fast. So far, i don't know about any special features or anything else about the disk. However, I do know that the video will cost $75 USD which sucks for everyone who just has a VCR. The dvd will be much, much cheaper. Here's a cover shot of the DVD case: Here.

Mystic River release date changed
The release date has been bumped up by the distributor/Clint. You'll notice that on the promo poster (left) it says October. That date is now changed to September 19, 2003. On the right is just another pic of Clint Eastwood and Laura Linney at Cannes. Click to see the bigger pics.

Mystic River @ Cannes cont...
Got some small pics of Laura at the Cannes festival. I also have some video but no way of uploading it. The pics are from Wireimage so that explains why I can't get the full size ones ;). Here's a taste:

Brown University rewards it's grads
On Monday Laura will be recieving an honourary doctorate of Fine Arts from Brown University where she studied. It will take place during the 235th Commencment ceremony. Here is the text of the citation:
"Daughter of Brown, star of stage and screen, you make us proud. Few actors in your generation shine so brilliantly. Throughout your journey from the theaters of this campus to the footlights of Broadway and the red carpet of the Academy Awards, you have shown the world your deep love and respect for the craft of acting. Your passion, intelligence, and talent infuse the characters you become and transport the audiences you enchant. Brown University stands tall among your international legion of fans and salutes you as a divine Doctor of Fine Arts, honoris causa."
Congrats Laura Linney! More can be found at the Brown website at the news page for the 235th Commencement. Other recipients include: Lowery Stokes Sims and Sam Nunn.

Mothman Prophecies continued...
I decided to suck it up and watch the film again. After watching it, after not having watched it for about 8 months, I remembered what draw me to it in the first place. And I'm glad I did. It's called re-inspiration and I think this site may be on the upswing again... Not to mention I had a very, very good dream about Richard Gere last night, which is coincidentally what prompted me to pop it in again. Oh yeah, and here's the box art for the Special Edition.

Also, I read another review of the new SE, and apparently one of the deleted scenes "expands" on John and Connie's relationship (and it's the longest scene). Damn right. Yay!

Kinsey?
As far as I know, Kinsey has not started filming. Probably due to that SARS crap. Well, maybe it has and I just don't know. I hope they continued with the plan of filming it in Toronto. Last I heard it was in pre-production in March when it was supposed to be filming. Also, thanks to everyone who signed the guestbook!

'Celebs Unite Against Future of Maine'
According to Magic City Morning Star, Laura Linney is one of the actresses part of the advisory committee regarding the future of Maine's forests. The committee is called Restore: The North Woods. This cause is "trying to generate support in Congress for a national park that would extend westward from Millinocket to the Quebec border, including an area larger than the total amount of land claimed by Yellowstone and Yosemite national parks combined."

Laura's New Play
Technically it's not a new play for her, but she's taking a role in Sight Unseen again. Playbill.com says that it will preview May 6. It's unclear what year, but I assume it's not this year, but next since the article was published May 12, 2003.

Mothman Prophecies: SE in North America
That's right. Finally we get the Special Edition DVD of this film. Coming out on May 27. Read some reviews. Sounds pretty much like the Austrailian one. 2 discs. Deleted scenes. Audio Commentary. Some specials. As far as I've read, the deleted scenes are nothing to get excited about. Actually, it seems the whole DVD set is nothing to get excited about. Unfortunately, Mark Pellington is a dumbass and didn't put any scenes with Connie and John and Connie's son, who was completely cut from the entire film. Now that woulda been worth the $28 USD that this DVD is selling for.

Mystic River @ Cannes
Yep, an update, not much of one but justa heads up that Laura's new film Mystic River was screened at the Cannes Film Festival. Haven't heard much on the reviews side but it's only a matter of time.
Just a little side note: You most likely have noticed the lack of updates in the past months and that's pretty much cos I lost interest truthfully. I have certain personal issues with this site but this isn't a soapbox or a therapist's couch so I'll leave it at that. Just a little note to say, yeah, I'm back for a bit but I'm not sure how long it'll last.

Sorry about the lack of updates. I've been a little distracted lately with school, friends and war. I'll update again for real soon.
