There’s literally hundreds of new pictures today – more additions to the Los Angeles “Julie & Julia” premiere, as well as its press conference. Then, the New York premiere for the film was celebrated yesterday. Further, Meryl has attended the premiere of “Taking Woodstock”, Ang Lee’s new film that co-stars her daughter, Mamie Gummer, and pictures of her taping of CBS’ “The Early Show” on June 30, to be broadcast – probably – next week. Enjoy the new pictures!

Right after her visit to Conan O’Brien’s Tonight Show, Meryl attended the Los Angeles premiere of “Julie & Julia”, alongside director Nora Ephron as well as co-stars Amy Adams, Stanley Tucci, Jane Lynch and Chris Messina. Over 200 pictures from the premiere have been added to the Image Library.
London Film Festival organizers say this year’s event will open with the world premiere of Wes Anderson’s animated feature “Fantastic Mr. Fox.” The stop-motion animated film is based on Roald Dahl’s children’s book about a community of burrowing animals who battle a trio of evil farmers. It features the voices of George Clooney, Meryl Streep, Bill Murray and Michael Gambon. Anderson said Monday he was happy the movie was making its debut in Britain. It was shot at London’s Three Mills Studios and features several British actors. The 53rd London Film Festival runs Oct. 14-29. “Fantastic Mr. Fox” opens in Britain on Oct. 23 and in the U.S. on Nov. 13.
According to Entertainment Tonight Canada, the new Nancy Meyers movie will be entitled “It’s Complicated”. Thanks to the many people who sent me those heads-up!
New behind-the-scenes pictures from the “Julie & Julia” set have been added to the Image Library.

Article courtesy USA Today: Ever since he asked stop-motion specialist Henry Selick to create exotic sea creatures for 2004’s The Life Aquatic With Steve Zissou, Wes Anderson has been enamored with this painstaking process of animation.But patiently posing puppets for a brief segment was nothing compared with doing an entire feature like The Fanastic Mr. Fox, one populated with a zoo’s worth of woodland creatures. Though the voice cast includes many Anderson regulars, such as Bill Murray as a lawyer badger, there are notable newcomers. George Clooney lends Mr. Fox his matinee-idol mystique and dry humor, and Meryl Streep is his loving if suspicious wife.
Why did the Oscar queen decide to speak for a she-mammal? As she says, “When else am I going to be Mrs. George Clooney?”
USA Today also has a couple of exclusive pictures from the film, to be found here.
