MERYL STREEP TALKS "EVENING"
Posted: 2006-09-27 | Source: Webmaster |
In an interview with the French press to promote "The Devil Wears Prada" last week, Meryl
Streep talked about her upcoming role in "Evening":
"I'm making a very small film. I just decided to do it
last week and I'm doing it next weekend. I play a very old woman, a friend of Vanessa Redgrave
in a movie called "Evening". My best friend is dying... it's about an older woman, Vanessa,
looking back at her life and it's a wonderful cast, including... my daughter who is playing
me - younger. She has the big part - I have a litte part".
Edit: The video clip of her interview can be now downloaded in the
Multimedia section. |
REPORT FROM THE "EVENING" SET IN RHODE ISLAND
Posted: 2006-09-27 | Source: Webmaster |
The magic and organized commotion of moviemaking is on display at 43 Highland Road where the 106 -year-old Colonial home of John Foley and Elizabeth Finn is serving as the set for what may be one of the most promising films to be released in the next year.
Trailers, lights, generators, tents, caterers, guys with cell phones, police at the entrances, trucks, taxis and more all crowd the location as an estimated 60 men and women daily spill through.
Signs saying "EVE" and "crew parking," and scores of of cars lining the roadway behind the nearby Sakonnet Veterinary Hospital, give further evidence of the production. During September, when co-producer Jeffrey Sharp, says most of the filming will take place, an estimated 200 to 300 staff and stars will have passed through the location.

MERYL STREEP MENTIONED TO STAR IN "EVENING"
Posted: 2006-09-14 | Source: Webmaster |
This is not official yet to my knowledge but it sounds awesome!:
Uniting a stellar cast, Evening begins filming in Rhode Island this week for Focus Features. The Hart Sharp Entertainment production, adapted by Pulitzer Prize-winning author Michael Cunningham from Susan Minot's best-selling novel of the same name, is directed by Lajos Koltai.
The cast of Evening includes Claire Danes, Toni Collette, Vanessa Redgrave, Patrick Wilson, Hugh Dancy, Natasha Richardson, Dame Eileen Atkins, Mamie Gummer, Ebon Moss-Bachrach, Glenn Close, and two-time Academy Award winner Meryl Streep.
The drama explores the romantic past and emotional present of Ann Grant (played by Redgrave) and her daughters, Constance (Richardson, who is also the real-life daughter of Redgrave) and Nina (Collette). As Ann lays dying, she remembers, and is moved to convey to her daughters, the defining moments in her life 50 years prior, when she was a young woman (played by Danes).
Gummer and Streep, who are mother and daughter in real life, are portraying Ann's college friend Lila as a younger and older woman, respectively.
