Molly Goodson — Sat, 19 May 2012 08:56:02 PDT

Shia LaBeouf and Tom Hardy play brothers on the big screen in Lawless, which they debuted at the Cannes Film Festival in Cannes, France, today. The two made a handsome pair at their morning photocall, where they joined their leading ladies Jessica Chastain and Mia Wasikowska. Shia was sporting a well-manicured scruff while Tom has clearly been growing out his facial hair. Jessica has been the belle of the ball at the festival so far, hitting up many red carpets and also promoting Madagascar 3: Europe's Most Wanted yesterday. The film, which was formerly called The Wettest County in the World, has its big red-carpet premiere later on Saturday. The movie was met by positive reviews from the press who checked out the first screening. We had a chance to see Lawless this morning and will be chatting with the cast tomorrow.

We're on the ground here at the festival, so don't miss all of the Cannes celebrity pictures so far and follow PopSugar on Twitter for all of our updates.

Vanity Fair Celebrates Fresh Young Stars Like Rooney, Mia, Jennifer, and Jessica

Allie Merriam — Tue, 31 Jan 2012 06:52:22 PST

Rooney Mara, Mia Wasikowska, Jennifer Lawrence, and Jessica Chastain have the honor of being on the very front cover of March 2012's Vanity Fair. It's the publication's "Fresh Young Stars of 2012" issue, featuring 11 up-and-coming actresses. Inside the cover fold, Elizabeth Olsen, Adepero Oduye, Shailene Woodley, Paula Patton, Felicity Jones, Lily Collins, and Brit Marling are also featured. Mario Testino gathered them all together for a recent photo shoot - click through to see the full image of all 11 together!

The last 12 months have been big for each of the ladies, in particular Rooney, Mia, Jennifer, and Jessica. Rooney just scored an Oscar nomination for The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo, as did Jessica for The Help. Mia's Albert Nobbs got a great deal of award season love, and Jennifer is looking forward to the release of her huge series The Hunger Games. The actresses opened up for the magazine about their careers, childhood crushes, and more. They said:

Jessica on her superstar crush: "Ralph Fiennes. The English Patient. Of course. Those love scenes!"
Jennifer on who else she'd like to work with: "I'd love to work with the Coen brothers. Tommy Lee Jones. Jack Nicholson. And I'd love to work with Renée Zellweger. I'm a huge Renée Zellweger fan."
Rooney on her crush growing up: "Thom Yorke."
Jennifer on her childhood crush: "When I was little, like '90s era, I had such a big crush on Justin Timberlake from *NSYNC that I almost threw up."
Mia on someone she'd like to work with: "I just saw We Need to Talk About Kevin, and I'm a huge fan of
Tilda Swinton, and I'm hopefully going to work with her next year. She's one of my favorites. And that movie was probably one of my favorites of the year."

Happy Birthday, Mia Wasikowska!

If you've watched The Kids Are All Right or Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland, you'll recognize actress Mia Wasikowska's quietly beautiful face. And, if you haven't - tune in, because Mia's career shows no signs of slowing down, taking the lead in Jane Eyre, and most recently, in Gus Van Sant's Restless, for which the actress made styled appearances at both Cannes and Toronto Film Festival. What's at the forefront of our minds is Mia's quirky-cum-ladylike aesthetic; it rivals Carey Mulligan's ladylike ways, and has us currently obsessed with her perfectly-executed red carpet looks. With a penchant for Rodarte, Jason Wu, Valentino, and basically anything demure with a slightly funky edge, she's quite quickly become one of our favorite young actresses to watch. Since today happens to be the actress's 22nd birthday, we're celebrating with a look at her most memorable looks so far.

Albert Nobbs Trailer: Glenn Close Knows How to Be a Gentleman

Shannon Vestal — Thu, 13 Oct 2011 08:45:01 PDT

Glenn Close has tackled a lot of complex roles, but none have been quite like the part she plays in Albert Nobbs. She stars as the title character, a man in 19th-century Ireland who lives a simple life as a waiter in a busy hotel. He generally keeps to himself, but there's something he's really keeping to himself: his gender. Nobbs is actually a woman who has adopted the dress of a man to survive the social climate of the time, but even though Nobbs has kept up the charade for a while, he encounters a few complications. First, another man comes into Nobbs's life and challenges his identity, then Nobbs decides to pursue a dream of opening his own tobacco shop, which requires taking a wife, and he sets his sights on a maid in his hotel (Mia Wasikowska).

There's an undercurrent that Nobbs is on the verge of being discovered at all times, but the trailer plays up the lighter aspects of the story - especially the interesting "love triangle" that Nobbs gets involved in. But the real draw of the film is to see Close as a man, a role that's already earning her awards buzz. To get a hint of how convincingly she mans up, just watch the trailer when you keep reading

Gwen, Gavin, Jude, and Sean Share The Tree of Life Carpet With Brad and Angelina

Allie Merriam — Mon, 16 May 2011 14:11:29 PDT

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie were the center of attention at The Tree of Life premiere tonight during the Cannes Film Festival, and there were plenty of other stars on hand to join them on the red carpet. Jude Law, who is one of the jurors at this year's film festival, joined Brad's costar Jessica Chastain, in addition to Rob Lowe, Zoe Saldana, Gwen Stefani, and Gavin Rossdale. Gwen and Gavin joined in on the fun in France following a week in his native Britain, and they wasted no time throwing on bikinis and going shirtless to enjoy the Mediterranean over the weekend. Sean Penn shares the screen with Brad and Jessica, and he joined them for today's event as well. Sean's girlfriend, Scarlett Johansson, didn't walk the press line, however. Brad's big evening caps off an exciting week for the Jolie-Pitts. Angelina made the rounds last week to chat up and debut her Kung Fu Panda 2, also making the exciting announcement that her directorial debut will be called In the Land of Blood and Honey and will hit theaters on Dec. 23.

Cannes Mini Review: Restless

Molly Goodson — Sun, 15 May 2011 03:05:00 PDT

Gus Van Sant's new movie Restless debuted this week at the Cannes Film Festival and while it may not elicit the same visceral reaction from critics as We Need To Talk About Kevin, the sweet indie movie is a treat of its own. The film follows the relationship of Enoch Brae (Henry Hopper), a death-obsessed teen with the ghost of a Japanese kamikaze fighter as his best friend, and Annabel "Annie" Cotton (Mia Wasikowska), a young woman with brain cancer and three months to live. They meet at a funeral he's crashing, which is a hobby of his, and the two quickly fall for each other, quirks and all. She's a naturalist obsessed with water birds, he plays battleship with his ghost friend. The film is set in Portland, and at points veers a bit far into the "twee" category. One montage includes scenes of Annie and Enoch playing badminton and riding fixed gear bikes in old timey clothes and they have a running bit about a xylophone, for example.

It's also a veritable celebrity kids party between Henry Hopper, son of Dennis, and costar Schuyler Fisk, daughter of Sissy Spacek, as well as producer Bryce Dallas Howard, daughter of Ron. Fisk will always have a place in my heart from the movie Orange County, but she's grown up a lot since then and is touching as Annabel's protective older sister. Also, Hollywood may have a new cute indie heartthrob in the form of Hopper; Restless is the first starring role for the 20-year-old actor, and I could barely take my eyes off his moody looks and perfectly tousled blond hair. Bottom line: it's not a perfect movie by any stretch, but the dialogue is good, Wasikowska and Hooper give wonderful performances, and thankfully the inevitable ending doesn't become an emotionally overwrought mess.

Mia Wasikowska, Hot Henry Hopper, and Bryce Dallas Howard Are Restless in Cannes

Molly Goodson — Sat, 14 May 2011 09:59:23 PDT

Mia Wasikowska and up-and-comer Henry Hopper star as lovestruck teenagers in Restless, which debuted at Cannes on Thursday and was followed up by a photo call on Friday. The Gus Van Sant film marks Bryce Dallas Howard's debut as a producer and was written by one of her best friends. Bryce had her father, Ron Howard, helping out as executive producer, though Gus said that she was the one who was hands on from start to finish. Bryce went with a billowy gown for the premiere, but she admitted during today's press interviews that the dress was actually a last-minute switch since she had a bit of trouble with the zipper of her intended one and actually cut herself out of it to switch into this strapless number minutes before hitting the red carpet. Mia looked gorgeous in red for Thursday's event and an intricate nude frock yesterday as she posed with her costars. Her chemistry with Henry is at the center of the movie, which is a sweet story about a death-obsessed teen named Enoch and Annabel, who has terminal brain cancer.

Henry is following in his father Dennis Hopper's footsteps with his big-screen debut, and the 20-year-old actor shares the same speech pattern and affectations as his iconic dad. Restless is dedicated to Dennis's memory, after dying suddenly in May 2010. Gus said that Dennis did have a chance to see a cut of the film before his passing and saw a lot of himself in Henry's performance. As for the best advice Dennis ever gave Henry: "Be cool." Lots more to come from our Cannes press day interviews with Mia, Gus, Henry, and Bryce!
