Ring in the New Year with War and Peace starring Lily James, Paul Dano and James Norton

War and Peace: on the set of the BBC's epic Tolstoy adaptation With a cast that includes Lily James and Paul Dano, the BBC's War and Peace is as grand as its subject matter. Lucinda Everett goes behind the scenes I don’t know why The Telegraph didn’t include James Norton in the headline for their article about the upcoming six part series. Norton plays Prince Andrei, the dark, moody—frankly sexy—third part of the love triangle between Natasha (Lily James) and nice guy Pierre Bezhukov (Paul Dano). I would have thought that he’d rate some headline action, especially for a British paper. Anyone who has seen Norton in Happy Valley knows he has good looks, certainly, but also the deep dark chops that are soon going to make his the mandatory name to include if you want to draw in readers. That being said, grumble grumble, the report from the set is a great read, whetting my appetite for this lavish period drama made on the cheap. Rather th...

12 Paris Locations that Fans of the Classic "Gigi" Won't Want to Miss #book2movie

Gigi and Gaston catch everyone's eyes as they enter world-famous Maxim's Today's Dreaming of France post is a reprise of my longest and most popular Dreaming of France entry. A trip through the Parisian locations used in the classic film Gigi, based on the book by Colette, and one of my favorite film classics . Originally published 3/30/2015 " Gigli ?" my son asks, wondering why I'd be at all interested in the Ben Affleck, J-Lo disaster, the epitome of a bad romance, made even worse because its epic failure has been immortalized on film. " No! Not Gigli. Gigi . Very famous movie musical? Takes place in Paris during the Belle Epoque? Won 9 Oscars? Starred Leslie Caron and Louis Jourdan? Vincent Minelli directed? " " Hmmm" he nods, a shrugging respect for the director, meaning maybe he'll watch it with me one day especially as he's also curious about the Belle Epoque and wouldn't mind going back to Paris and getting a...

Me Before You starring Emilia Clarke & Sam Claflin: Costume Design and Those Quirky Shoes

You can not watch Me Before You without wondering, what's the deal with those clothes?! The movie's costume designer, Jill Taylor, ( My Week with Marilyn ) talked with FN (Footwear News) about the clothes and especially the shoes, a key component in depicting Louisa's quirky style. Does it matter that the main reason Louisa takes the job looking after Will is because her family is desperate for her money, and that being the case, where is she getting the budget for this quirky wardrobe? The shoes—I get it, they are adorable and I fully expect to see a slew of young women wearing shoes with flowers on their soles—cost about £90 or $125. That's a lot of cashola to lay out on shoes. How did you build Emilia Clarke’s character’s look? “Lou wanted to study fashion, and with that there is an inherent love of clothes. We sort of made her a collector of clothes. Some of the pieces she had were like pieces of art to her. Her shoes played a big part in that.” ...
