Ed Zwick gets Jennifer Connelly for THE BLOOD DIAMOND!!
Ahoy, squirts! Quint here with an update on the Ed Zwick directed dramatic thriller thingy THE BLOOD DIAMOND. Jennifer Connelly will star alongside Leonardo DiCaprio in the flick directed by the dude who made THE LAST SAMURAI and who almost made Ehren Kruger's shitty adaptation of Stephen King's THE TALISMAN (bullet dodged).
The story has a poor African farmer who gets caught up with a Yankee diamond smuggler (DiCaprio). Of course the mining industry doesn't care for the DiCaprio character and chaos ensues. Is Connelly the "poor African farmer?" I don't think "poor African farmer" when I look at Connelly, so I'll go out on a limb and say she's playing someone else. Heh.

Connely's, not Zwicks.

Lots of white Africans in Zimbabwe and South Africa. Also, Rupee88 is right.
-
That's the best example of them. But anyway, sounds like a good cast and good director.
-
Oddly perfect. (cough HACK cough)
-
The Hot Spot is an amazing film. Virginia Madsen is so hot in that film too. God bless Dennis Hopper!
-
Seriously, I think she could do comedy well. It'd give her a break from all the serious (and good, at least most of them) movies she's known for.

also, Jennifer... "Career Opportunities 2: 'Jimget's His Groove Back" you know it to be true. you long for rollerskates and a wifebeater and the sounds of Betty Boo's "Where Are You, Baby?" once again. and I long for you to ride a coin-op horse.

Any Connelly news is good news. She could star in "Deuce Bigelow 5: Seriously, I don't look like it but I'm a freakin' gigolo!" as the hotel receptionist and this would be good news. I hope "The Blood Diamond" is good movie, though.
-
Zwick's, not Conneleys.

I would love to see a film with Jennifer Connelly as the villain. And love for her femme fatale villain character to do away with dicaprios character early in the film. Maybe this one is it.

Connolly's way too skinny and her fabulous boobs are all but gone.
-
although what the hell was up with those HULK dogs?
-
Connelly hasn't looked really healthy since Dark City, and that was going on ten years ago. Another gorgeous young actress reduced to a sickly, gaunt shadow of her former self. ::sigh::
-
You live in the East Village, huh?
-
East Village. She and Bettany live in a place on Hudson St. (used to see them all the time too, when I worked down there).
-
Cool idea. I'd see that.

Slime and snails, or puppy dog's tails, thunder or lightning.....

...hey, I like Jennifer Connelly, but I'm not sure I like the idea for this movie. Sounds like this is going to be another one of those romances where the backdrop is an embattled African nation (see also: 'The Interpreter' (sort of) and 'The Constant Gardener'). If you're going to make a movie about that sort of thing, you should honestly take the frakin' romance out of the equation; cheapens it, if you ask me. Or maybe I'm off-base. I don't know.

Its not even a sex thing -- you just like looking at her. The best thing about The House of Sand and Fog was that the director knew enough to do a lot of long closeups of her. I kept feeling like I was staring even though staring is what you do with a movie.
