I’m a little slow at times and maybe that’s why I’m not quite loving this first-anywhere gallery of Elizabethtown cast photos that just appeared on the film’s official site. If Cameron Crowe’s film is anything like the script (which I’ve read), Elizabethtown (Paramount, 10.14) will be a well-honed, colorfully layered story of romantic restoration on top of a quietly penetrating family ensemble piece. The idea behind these photos — a series of portraits of the principal actors in character (Orlando Bloom, Kirsten Dunst, Susan Sarandon, Bruce McGill, Alec Baldwin, et. al.) — is to say, “Hi, guys…we’ve got a really nice ensemble piece here.” What I’m saying is, if you’re giving people some visual first impressions of a film, shouldn’t you be trying to convey the emotional angles, the penetrating points, the underlying mood or tone…and not just a bunch of, you know, class photos?

That allegedly first-hand description in
That allegedly first-hand description in the Star of Angelina Jolie sounding like a “wounded animal, like someone being killed” during a gymnastic whatever during their stay at the Alfajari Villas beach resort in Kenya…man, I love that, and I don’t care if I read it first on Defamer. Item says the security guys became concerned, “grabbed their weapons,” rushed to Pitt and Jolie’s suite and “hammered furiously on the door with their clubs.” The screams suddenly stopped and a guy’s voice said, “Everything is cool guys. You can leave — we’re okay.”
