Keira Knightley to Star in Never Let Me Go
Variety has announced one of Keira Knightley's next projects — a movie titled Never Let Me Go. And yet, even though the movie's plot description is completely the same as that of the Kazuo Ishiguro novel by the same title, neither Ishiguro nor the novel is mentioned in the article, as though the film is not an adaptation of this book.

Deschanel, Gordon-Levitt Have 500 Days of Summer
Even more so than the Zooey Deschanel-Paul Dano pair-up, this movie casting news has me all swoony. Zooey will star alongside Joseph Gordon-Levitt in — what else? — an indie film, this time titled 500 Days of Summer.

Amelia: Never Really Takes Flight
I love the way a biopic makes me feel — like I'm treated to a back-in-time look at an amazing life.
