Woe.

Holy pineapple chunks, Batman – it’s a brand new feature! Today and on every weekend until the Earth is consumed by fire and ice, we will be bringing you the pick of the week’s film gossip in a format so accessible, democratic and toothsome you might well mistake it for Peaches Geldof’s ladygarden. It’s time to round up the news…

Erm… Can he act?

Woe.

Why would you do that, Baz? Why?

Carey Mulligan is reportedly Baz Luhrmann’s first choice for the role of Daisy in his long-awaited adaptation of The Great Gatsby. Yay!

Though director Baz Luhrmann has yet to confirm whether he’ll make The Great Gatsby his next film, it has now been reported that he recently held a workshop of his adapted script. The question on everyone’s lips of course is; which stars were present?

Will Leonardo DiCaprio, Tobey Maguire and Amanda Seyfried head up the cast for an adaptation of the F. Scott Fitzgerald classic?

It’s always refreshing when a thinking person’s rom-com comes around. An Education is not only beautifully constructed, but with wonderful performances, a tight script and questions of love that are difficult to wriggle out of, it’s a film that really grips its audience. Charming, sleek and funny, it’s hard not to be won over by this twisted romance. Just be careful, if we’ve learnt anything, its the danger of the power of seduction.
