Considered as one of the most highly-anticipated films this year, Across the Universe is the story of Jude (Jim Sturgess), Lucy ( Evan Rachel Wood) and Max (Joe Anderson) as they struggle and survive America in the turbulent 1960s. Directed by award-winning filmmaker Julie Taymor, the film is an original musical love story based on the Beatles' songs from a screenplay by Ian La Frenais and Dick Clement.

Bono From U2 Plays a Doctor!
written by Jan, August 14, 2007
I had heard about this movie in my cyber travels, and thought it looked really good--and I especially like that the actors sing in this. Trailer looks great and the music sounds great as well.

Quite a nice surprise to see from IMDb, that Bono will be in this as well. Love the underwater pic above as well. This will be released next month. Hope some of tMF visitors and staff get to see this, and give us a review.

Thanks Jed for doing a feature on this movie.

tMF certainly has its eyes on a number of talented actors- Matthew Goode, Giovanni Ribisi, Nick Stahl and more. At the moment, we have below our latest profiles, with more coming up soon!

It would seem hard to talk about Casey Affleck without mentioning his brother Ben or vice versa. The brothers have been the subject of many articles - from their looks and their relationships to Ben’s decision to cast his brother in Gone Baby Gone and the completely different career paths both guys took on: Casey remained oblivious to the glamour and glitz of Hollywood, while Ben adjusted to the glare of being in the spotlight.

Jonathan Rhys-Meyers - The 30-year old Irish actor is known for speaking his mind- he is quite vocal about a number of issues- from the failings of the film industry to dealing with directors with huge egos to the irrelevance of celebrities & the lack of real talent in some of today’s biggest box-office stars.

Not many people are blessed with the opportunity to enter a deeply rewarding and exciting career. In the case of Michael Angarano, it has been like that since he was 5 years old. As a young model, he was exposed early to the hustle and bustle of a glam job. Not surprisingly, he began his successful transition into acting a couple of years later. [ read more ]

Kostja Ullmann: Taking on such a challenging role is not a new departure for the actor. After appearing in a variety of shows on German television, Ullmann was offered the role of Achim, one of the leads in Marco Kreuzpaintner’s Summer Storm. [ read more ]
