George and Sandra?

The Venice Film Festival brought out all the stars this year, but of course the two that made the biggest entrance were Sandra Bullock and George Clooney.  There have been many rumors to the two being involved in a new relationship, and I have to say after seeing these photos, they look great together.  Take a look.

What Do You Propose?

So I'm sitting here watching The Proposal with Ryan Reynolds and Sandra Bullock and forgot how funny this film is.  Not only am I head over heels in love with Ryan Reynolds, but Sandra is one of my favorite actresses ever.  She's beautiful and funny, what a total package.

I'm sure you've all seen the film, but if you haven't, you have to check it out.  In the meantime, here are some photos, a bit of trivia, and a clip from the film.  Enjoy!

--Sandra Bullock plays a Canadian who wants to marry her assistant in order to keep her Visa status in the U.S. and avoid being deportation to Canada.  In real life, Bullock is American and Reynolds is Canadian.

--225 Franklin Street, Boston was the real location of the Colden Books office.  The entire main office, including Margaret's and Bob's offices were completely rebuilt and replicated at Disney Studios in Burbank, CA for pickups and reshoots.

--Julia Roberts was the first choice to play Margaret, but reportedly refused to take a pay cut, so Sandra Bullock took over the role.  

--Betty White almost turned down her role in the film because filming would require her to spend ten weeks away from her golden retriever.

Murder By Numbers

Happy Sunday friends!  What are your plans today?  I might watch a movie or two! One of my favorite films is Murder By Numbers starring Sandra Bullock and Ryan Gosling.  I don't know why I can watch this film over and over again, but I can.  I found some great trivia on the film and thought I'd share.  Have you seen it?  What did you think?

--Henry Bean, who also directed Ryan Gosling in The Believer, did several uncredited re-writes on this film.


--In one scene, the camera pans briefly across a cinema that is showing The Bitter Tea of General Yen.  That film was directed by Frank Capra, whose grandson, Frank Capra III is the first assistant director of this film.

--The characters Richard Haywood and Justin Pendleton are loosely based on real life murderers Richard Loeb and Nathan Leopold.

--The old lodge on the bluff was constructed especially for the film and was torn down after filming was completed.  The interior shots were filmed on set.

--Richard's car, a mustang, is the same type of car driven by Steve McQueen in Bullitt.  Ryan Gosling suggested that the car be used, as he is a fan of McQueen.

--The scene near the end of the film where Gosling licks Sandra Bullock's face was not scripted.  After a few takes, Gosling asked Bullock if it would be okay if he added it in to prove his character's sick nature.

--Ryan Gosling threw up as he filmed the murder scenes.

--The high school scenes were supposed to be filmed at San Luis Obispo High, but the Superintendent wouldn't allow them to film after reading the script.
