The Universe of Evan Rachel Wood.

2009-10-06T11:00:00.000-07:00

A cute 10 year-old Evan in the movie "Digging to China", which also starred Kevin Bacon. Since there's nothing new going on, here are some interesting facts you might not know about her:

- Has lost out on two roles to Kirsten Dunst: Claudia in "[i]Interview with the Vampire[/i]" and Claire in "[i]Elizabethtown[/i]".

- Her favorite actress is Cate Blanchett. Edward Norton and Ewan McGregor are are favorite actors.

- She auditioned for the role of Cady Heron in "[i]Mean Girls[/i]", but lost to Lindsay Lohan.

- Kareoke is one of her favorite things to do. She drags all of her friends to go and sing with her.

- Hates her middle name, but still keeps it as her stage name so people won't confuse her with a boy.

- She has black belt in tae kwon do, so you better not mess with her. She's going to hurt you!

Tracy and Evie together! The lovely Nikki Reed had to be on this session just because thanks to her, Evan Rachel got her big breaktrough performance (she wrote "Thirteen" based on her real-life experiences). They've become really good friends on the set of the movie but there are no recent pics of them together recently. Their careers have taken different directions and both girls have been working so much, but I'd totally love if they still remain in touch!

And I'm being a really bad fotologger these days but aaah...let's blame the outside life and the fact that there's nothing new about Evan lately, so you guys are not missing anything, really. The moment something new comes up, I'll be here!

2009-09-18T12:16:00.000-07:00

It's been quite a while since the last time I posted something about "Whatever Works". So there you go, a still of Melodie and her husband Boris Yellnikoff (Larry David). And here's something quite interesting I found:

Woody Allen wrote the script for this movie in the 70s! Back then, he wrote the role of Boris with actor Zero Mostel in mind, but after his death 1977, Woody put the screenplay aside. And in 2008, he decided it would be his next film.

Release dates:
Italy 18 September / Belgium 30 September / Spain 2 October / Australia 15 October / Finland 23 October / Brazil 6 November / Estonia 6 November / Netherlands 12 November / Iceland 27 November / Germany 3 December / Russia 31 December

Evan attended HBO's "Curb Your Enthusiasm" season 7 premiere and she was gorgeous with that red dress!

Interview from SheWire

What can we expect from your character, Queen Sophie Anne, next season on True Blood?
I am waiting just like everyone else to find out. I have no idea what Alan Ball has up his sleeve for me, but he has assured me that it’s all going to make sense eventually, so I’m just waiting to see. But I have heard that she’s going to get a little more intense and a little scarier because she is pretty diva-ish and bratty right now; she’s definitely going to get more in-depth.

Are we going to see Sophie Anne with more women or men in Season 3?
Again, I don’t know. But her partner is a woman — Sookie’s cousin (Hadley Hale, played by Lindsey Haun), so I’m pretty sure there’s going to be more stuff going on there.

Maybe your lesbian vampire queen could fall in love with Sookie like everyone what seems like else on the show —vampires Bill and Eric (Alexander Skarsgard)?
I think she could, yeah, absolutely! I’m pretty sure she is one of the only characters on the show who actually knows what Sookie is.

Do you have any theories?
Not that I can actually say because I do know what Sookie is! So I’m keeping my mouth shut (laughs). No hints, nothing!

What did you think of the way Season 2 ended?
I thought it was out of control. I remember reading the script and just thinking, “I don’t know how they’re going to do this or get away with it or make it work and they did. They always do; the most outrageous scenarios, they always make them work. I’m very curious to see what happens next.

Are you going to have any scenes next season with Sam Trammell, who plays Season 2 hero and shape shifter Sam Merlotte?
I hope so. I think he’s a great actor, I hope I get some scenes with Sam. I hope my character enters Bon Temps at some point. That’s what I’m looking forward to. Definitely!

Rumor has it Evan is dating the man of my current dreams, the awesome and incredible Alexander Skarsgård (Eric on 'True Blood' and Stellan Skarsgård's hot son). The rumors started soon after they finished filming 'True Blood' but no one gave much importance. They were seen together in New Orleans a few days ago and now the rumor is back on! Evan already admited she's team Alex/Eric and that she saw his shower scene in Hundtricket. Oh, she's a total fan girl, just like the rest of us.

I really don't know if this is true cause in July she was still with Shane, aah, whatever, you go girl!! But seriously, who can resist ASkars?

And yeah, obligatory gif:

Today Evan Rachel Wood turns 22 years young! She's on a big tv show, got really good reviews on her last movie and will have her debut on Broadway next year. She takes her career seriously and once she's commited to something, she won't take a step back, that's how professional she is.
So I'd like to wish her nothing but the best and all the happiness in her life!

Happy birthday, miss Wood!

Now, I do want to ask you about the Spider-Man musical. What's the latest?
I don't know a lot, but as far as I know, it's still on.

Any truth to reports that you told producers you were backing out so you could be free to do some movies?
No! I didn't say that! It's going to be great! Whatever happens, it's going to be great!

E! Online interview part II

2009-09-04T11:39:00.000-07:00

How did you end up on the show?
I watched the first season and loved the show, so I got in touch with [series creator] Alan Ball and said, "Keep an eye out for anything that might pop up." I thought it was a long shot, but then later on I got a call saying they needed a queen.

Did you know anything about the queen beforehand?
I didn't. I said yes, even before I read the script. I didn't really care.

Did you have to get naked yet, because everyone on the show gets naked?
I can't say I do just yet. But they are bringing me back next season, so it's always a possibility. It's kind of inevitable.

So are you Team Eric or Team Bill?
I would say, Team Alex—Eric! Whoops. [Laughs]

Have you seen the clip of Alex's shower scene in Hundtricket?
I am not going to lie. Yes I have.

He is just stunning.
I have to agree with you. [Laughs] That's another great thing about my job—all of my scenes are with Bill and Eric! I was surrounded by beautiful people constantly.

Evan, darling, you're not alone. Team Alex/Eric all the way! And today's pic is from last year's Venice festival, during the press conference of "The Wrestler". She was just so lovely there. A few more:

you two should just really fuck each other and get it over with. i could watch.

2009-09-01T15:14:00.000-07:00

I just watched True Blood's "Frenzy"! Evan was incredible as Sophie-Anne and oh, I don't wanna say much cause I know there's a lot of people here who watch True Blood but haven't seen uch of the second season. But I can assure you, this was one great episode!

The next (and final) episode of this season will air on September 13th and our Majesty will appear on that as well. And even better cause she's going to have scenes with Eric (Alexander Skarsgaard)! I truly can't wait for that. Here's the promo:

The Queen thanks you for your time.

A lot of people are excited to see her on True blood, so here's a little treat for you all:

E! Online interview part I

I'm not sure why I am talking to you because I don't think you're allowed to tell me anything, right?
[Laughs] I can tease! What do you want to know?

I want to know who you are going to have sex with. Are you more Eric or Bill, and what kind of drama is Queen Sophie-Ann starting?
I figured that those would be the questions! Who do I have sex with? Well, I don't know if I am having sex with anyone yet, but I certainly have a steamy scene with someone that I don't think you'd really expect. So it will be a little fun.

So no Eric or Bill? Because I think that is what everyone is assuming.
Um, I'm not saying anything. I can't say either way.

Despite the rumors of a possbile cancelation of the Spider Man musical, Evan has said she's still commited to the project and has absolute faith in Julie Taymor, the director.
"It's going to be like a rock'n'roll circus show. I've seen some of the new flying technology they're using and it's amazing. (...) Oh yeah, I hang from a couple of buildings. Er, I think. We'll see."

And this Sunday will ait the episode of Evan on True Blood! She appers briefly on 00:24 of the promotional video:

Allan Ball said Sophie-Anne will return for season three!

Oh, aren't those lovely pics of Evan and her brother at the premiere of Garden State, back in 2004, when she was just 16?

And sad news about the Spiderman musical:

Say Goodbye to Spider-Man … The Musical
I’ll admit, I never understood why anyone thought Spider-Man would make a good musical — even with music by Bono and The Edge. But Spider-Man: Turn Off The Dark seemed inevitable, and once we got word that Evan Rachel Wood and Alan Cumming were joining the cast, the big-budgeted show seemed to be chugging along nicely towards it’s 2010 release date. But all is not well in the world of Spidey, and Michael Riedel at the New York Post is reporting that the show is in serious trouble. According to Riedel, the set designers have been put on hiatus, actors might be released from their contracts, and staff is scrambling to cash their checks before the money runs out.

The production is still a long way from being finished, and according to sources, “A lot of it seems to exist only in Julie’s [Taymor] head,” But as far as Taymor and company are concerned, the show is on track for previews in February, 2010. According to the official website, tickets will be going on sale in October, but sources claim that agents are already trying to return the tickets that have been sold for advance previews.

Riedel’s sources claimed that it was the show’s price tag that was the final straw for the troubled production. The show was budgeted at $45 million (with a weekly running cost of almost $900,000) but it looks like even with a sold-out house every night the production can’t make a profit. But, the bottom line wasn’t the only hurdle for the web-slinging musical, and according to Riedel, there is plenty of blame to go around for the show’s producers, “Sony, Marvel Comics and David Garfinkle, a Chicago lawyer who, sources say, had almost no Broadway experience.”

But if you were looking forward to a singing and dancing Peter Parker, all is not lost — at least not yet anyway. Remember, nothing is official, so stay tuned to Cinematical for any updates that come our way.

Wood Fielding Film Offers After Spider-man Musical Trouble?
Evan Rachel Wood’s agents are reportedly desperate to win back a number of film roles the actress turned down to work on stalled Broadway musical Spider-man as rumours continue to swirl about the troubled stage show.

The Wrestler star was due to tread the boards in the new production early next year, but work on the play has been suspended as producers at Hello Entertainment battle financial problems.

Claims the Spider-Man spectacular, which will feature music written by U2 stars Bono and The Edge, has been scrapped altogether were blasted by the show’s bosses on Wednesday amid rumours the cast and crew had been released from their contracts.

A spokesperson for the production told WENN: “Hello Entertainment is aware of the speculation about the future of Spider-Man on Broadway and is re-confirming that the plan is to resume production shortly and preview on February 25th, 2010 at the Hilton Theatre when cash flow issues have been resolved.”

But according to the New York Post, Wood will not be part of the line-up when the musical resumes production.

The newspaper alleges the actress snubbed several film roles to commit to the New York show, but now Spider-Man appears to be in trouble, she wants to claim those projects back.

An insider tells the publication, “As far as they’re concerned, it’s over. She’s available for other work.”

“I had not seen anything Evan was in; my wife told me about her. Once I started looking at clips of her, she looked like a wonderful actress and looked very good for the part. It was an easy choice—she could be trusted with anything. [...] She’s an actress of limitless capabilities.”

“She’d joke around the set like a 12 year-old, but as soon as I said ‘action’ she could go immediately to the deepest emotional level. In some scenes, she went as far as an actress could go—maybe too far. I was so happy when she was the youngest person to ever be nominated for a best actress Golden Globe, but she deserved an Oscar.”

For the ones living under a rock, he played Jude in Across The Universe, George in The Other Boleyn Girl and has been in other films such as 21 and Crossing Over. Evan Rachel is crazy to work with him again and he was even rumoured to play Peter Parker on the Spiderman Musical.

“You know, I’m still trying to drag Jim Sturgess. But – if he doesn’t do it, I’m not sure. We actually did the workshop together. So, I have sang the Peter Parker-Mary Jane songs with him, and I just can’t imagine anybody else doing it. So, I’ll be sad. But I have a lot of faith in Julie, and I’m sure she’ll find somebody amazing.”

Sweet quote from Evan:

“He’s the best guy friend I have. I always hung out with guys, but it’s hard to find really good guy relationships that don’t get weird. And it never has with us, once.”

She had been on the show in 2004* to promote Thirteen and she remembered:
"I wasn't even 18. And you told me I couldn't rob churches until I was 21, and I'm 21 now! So good news, yeah, I robbed my first church. Just for you, man!"

Bono and The Edge are writing the music for the musical SpiderMan: Turn Off the Dark on Broadway, which will debut on Feberuary and as you know Evan will play Mary Jane. She gave some tips for them because the musics tehy were writing was a bit depressing:

“I was like, ‘Bono, I know you want to save the world and everything, but in this song you’re talking about poverty and world hunger and it’s Broadway. Can we lighten this up a bit, can I just not sing this?’. He was like, ‘You’re right, I know, we have to try, we have to try’.”

Evan Rachel is excited about being on the tv hit show True Blood. She said she's obessed with it and that she called the creator, Alan Ball, to keep her in mind in case there was a part...

“Oh! I love being able to talk about that now. I’ve had to be so secretive about it. She’s 400 years old. Her name’s Sophie-Anne, and she’s the Vampire Queen of Louisiana. There’s a queen for every state, and that’s hers. And she’s kind of a cross between Patrick Bateman and Paris Hilton. She’s crazy. She’s just crazy. And she’s a lesbian.”

Woody and Evan in Paris for the premiere of Whatever Works. She has said he offered her the role of Melodie and she didn't had to audition for the part:

"He wrote me a letter, saying he thought I would be good for the role and that he was going to send me the script. He was very funny. He said if I didn't like it, we would find something else to do together, and of course I thought, 'Are you crazy?! Of course I'm going to like it.' It was an honor. It was intimidating at first. Because I didn't audition and I'd never met him, so I didn't want to let him down. He's very sweet, very warm—not as neurotic as some people might think."

Evan and her kitty cat Nicodemus at the LAX airport last week (June 9th).

On a recent interview to The Daily Beast she talked about a lot of stuff, inlcuding her style, her future projects, Warren Beatty being an inspiration... and Manson:

“I was raised thinking that a relationship like that was just completely wrong. But I can’t choose who I fall in love with, and I’m not going to not do something that makes me happy just because people disapprove. It seemed natural to us and that was all that mattered.”

So, she never said dating him was a mistake or whatever tabloids wanted to make everyone believe she said...

ww photocall

2009-06-12T11:10:00.001-07:00

On a interview, she said she doesn't think a relationship with a much older man works:
"I don’t think it works. I think it’s a bad idea. I think as long as you learn from it - good or bad experience - it’s an experience, and you should take something away from it."

And many celeb sites posted this saying she regrets the relationship with Manson. I think what Evan said was taken out of context. She never mentioned Manson nor that dating him was a bad idea and she had regrets of it. She said the experience of dating a much older man (he was 19 years older than her) didn't work for her. But she had to try, right? And she did learn something from it...

And about her new boyfriend Shane, this is what she said:
"Yeah, we played (brother and sister), but at least we're not related in real life! Good God! I thought it would be creepy for him, but it's not."

“I think you can put two and two together. I won’t confirm or deny it but I don’t think I have to. I have a celebrity crush on Shane West, of course! It was a great party!”

Woody Allen and Henry Cavill didn't seem to be at the premiere... well, at least I haven't seen any picture of the two with the rest of the cast. Enjoe the pics:

A video! Evan appears for the first time around 1:30 and then, they appear together by the end of it.

evan and shane: actually happened!

2009-06-06T07:11:00.000-07:00

So, it was true. Evan and Shane West did hook up last Saturday at Tao bar in Las Vegas.

I'll be honest and say it was shocking since they know each other for about 10 years now... Evan grew up, she's not a little girl anymore, she's 21. They're young, single and probably know what they're doing. Just because they hooked up at a party doesn't mean they're dating... we'll have to wait to see what happens next. Though I do think they would make a nice couple.

And, yeah, Evan looks really drunk on the pictures, but it was a party... everybody drinks at parties, or I'm wrong?

Gossip, gossip, gossip! New hot couple alert: according to some source Evan and Shane West were together last Saturday at Tao in Las Vegas all over each other and making out in front of everyone... and in the middle of the table:

"They were both there in a big group of 20 people. At around 3 a.m., Shane and Evan Rachel were all over each other and making out in the middle of the table."

I don't believe any gossip, but dude, this is kinda funny and one of the things you never can see or imagine happening. They played brother and sister on the tv show "Once and Again" when Evan was still a little girl (she was 12 when the show started)! And anyway, this picture is from 2002 at the Movieline Awards.

Evan with other celebs (11/15)

2009-05-26T12:15:00.000-07:00

Evan with Ron Livingston at the Gotham Independent Awards past December.
They were together in the movie "Pretty Persuasion", in which Evan's character, Kimberly, falsely accusses his character, teacher Percy Anderson, of sexual harrasment. Seriously, if you haven't seen this one yet, add it to your "movies to watch" list. Evan gives one of her best performances there, so evil, mean and manipulative. And this is what she said about that:

"I get so worried that people will see it and think that's what I'm really like."
Oh dear, we all know you're not! :)

Anyway, it was nice to see them posing togheter for a picture after a few years (three, to be exact) after the movie. It only shows how much Evan and her co-stars all have good relationships.

More of this event here.

Evan with other celebs (10/15)

2009-05-20T15:06:00.001-07:00

Evan and the lovely actress Keri Russell, her co-star on "The Upside of Anger", during the Sundance Festival in 2005 to promote the movie. They played sisters and had a really good chemestry. If you haven't seen this one, you should. It's really really good. It's a drama but full of funny and tender moments. Ah oh, those pictures... cuteness all around!

Keri seems to be a really sweet person and she's also a good actress. Everyone remebers her as "Felicity", but she's been in movies like "August Rush" and "Waitress" (another one that I recommend, it's great!).

romeo and juliet part one

And finally, we have some pictures and info about the Romeo and Juliet play, directed by her brother.
* Evan is currently reharsing the play in her hometown, Raleigh.

* Justin Long is NOT playing Romeo, Kyle Perren (pics) got the part.

* Her father, who is also co-starring her, made the following statement:
Evan is doing an incredible job … as is her brother as Director for the show. I play her father … obviously a case of no acting. It is indeed a joy for the Wood family to be onstage together after more than a decade.

Whatever Works is on the NY Post's 25 Must-see Summer Movies list.

Woody Allen has a habit of snagging his supporting sisters Academy Awards, so I'm predicting (hoping) that Evan Rachel Wood's portrayal of a bubbly Southerner will make up for her horrifying Oscar snub in "Thirteen." June 19

Evan and her hot co-star Henry Cavill (from the tv show "The Tudors") at the DirecTV press center, at the Tribeca festival last Wednesday. On the movie, his character is an English acting student who falls head over heels with Melodie (Evan Rachel). And our lucky girl had the chance to kiss him!

Someone who watched the movie at the festival, posted a message on the IMDb forum saying the moie is really good and witty, and Evan's accent was well done (she plays a girl from the south of the US).

vampire girl

2009-04-23T10:51:00.000-07:00

Evan will play a vampire! And no, she won't join the Twilight movies.
According to Michael Ausiello (aka the guy who knows everything about tv), she'll join the hit show True Blood, alongside Anna Paquin and Stephen Moyer.
She'll play Sophie-Anne, the 500-year-old French vampire and Queen of Louisiana. The character is described as charming, wily, ruthless and wise. Evan is booked for two episodes towards the end of second season and if the show gets renewed for a third season, she'll be back as well.

Evan won't join the cast of Sucker Punch as it was reported, due to scheduling conflicts. And apparently, Jena Malone will take over her role.
Amanda Sayfreid also had to drop out of this this due to scheduling conflicts and Emily Browning is now the leading actress of the movie.

I've always thought Jena and Evan look a like and they're both great young actresses. Jena was the first choice to play Kimberly in "Pretty Persuasion", but Evan got the part. And with that brunette and short hair (it was wig!), Evan looked even more like her!

The premiere of "Whatever Works" is in a few days... so let's just wait for the new pics!

GQ may 2009

2009-04-15T10:43:00.000-07:00

A LITTLE PIECE OF EVAN
Evan Rachel Wood—frequent plaything of Marilyn Manson, rumored girlfriend to Mickey Rourke—stars in Woody Allen’s latest film. What took so long for these two to hook up?

Evan Rachel Wood is that rare and ruinous combination of innocent girl next door and kinky neighbor down the street.

Best known for dramatic roles in Oscar-cred movies like The Wrestler, this is the girl who, at age 19, shot a blood-spattered sex scene with her boyfriend, Marilyn Manson, for one of his rock videos.

More recently, she was linked with her Wrestler co-star, the 56-year-old Mickey Rourke. “There was no truth to it, and it was so annoying,” says Wood, now 21, who is back with Manson after “taking some time” away from the relationship. Of Rourke, she says: “The friendship was intimate and nice, and this makes it weird.”

Yes, Wood is precocious (she mangled our hearts in Thirteen) but perhaps preternaturally wacko, too. Still, that danger—that unnerving energy, that aggressive sexuality—is what draws us to her. In conversation, she’s as likely to tell you about her next project (she might play Mary Jane in an upcoming Broadway production of Spider-Man) as she is to offer intimate details about neutering her pet cat.

For the record, she was upset about the feline surgery. But not that upset.

“You should have seen me when my rats died.” Her Lolita rep may have an upside; Woody Allen cast her as a runaway teen who marries Larry David (age 61!) in Whatever Works, opening next month.

Working with Allen was “nerve-racking,” she admits; he didn’t audition her and gave almost no direction. It seems he didn’t have to. “If he thinks you’re perfect for the part,” she says, “he lets you do whatever you want.” As anyone who has photographed her knows, that’s usually the best policy.

Evan with other celebs session (9/15)

2009-03-23T15:22:00.000-07:00

Jamie Bell.

This couple was just the sweetest. They met in 2005 at the Sundance festival and then appeared together on the music video "Wake Me Up When September Ends" by Green Day. They dated for about a year or a little longer. Evan has a "J" tattooed on her left ankle, and even after almost three years since their break up, she stills keeps it. She likes what it means, young love. Jamie is just one of the best young actors out there, he was amazing on Billy Elliot (by the way, he won the Bafta for that movie). Now he's doing many indie and great films such as The Chumscrubber and Hallam Foe. And he's a British hottie!

More pictures of them attending the KingKong premiere in 2005:

This is going to be a Whatever Works MEGA post!
I have been collecting some precious info about Evan's new movie, Whatever Works, directed by Woody Allen and starred by Larry David, Henry Cavill and Patricia Clarkson.

Plot: “Whatever Works revolves around an eccentric man (Larry David) taken into a series of adventures and encounters with his friends from Greenwich, a young woman from the South (Evan Rachel Wood), and her parents.”
* Evan said on the Jimmy Kimmel interview she plays Larry David's wife, Melodie. But there was no sex scenes.

The movie will premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival at the opening night for invitees only. It will later be released on June 19th in LA and NY.

During the Oscars closing credits, some exclusive previews of the 2009 movies were shown and WW was included! It around the 1:27, Larry shows up in the, apparently, living room and Patricia faints. This just shows that the movie will have a lot of funny moments!

Here's another video, someone was passing by the Battery Park in NYC and filmed Woody directing Larry and Evan:

And new stills of the movie have been released and here are some of them:

How come not love Across The Universe? This is my favourite movie from Evan, no doubt about that! Such a simple idea: a story told through Beatle's songs...
This is one of my favourite parts of the movie. The Strawberry Fields Forever scene, while Jude is in NY and Max is at the Vietnam War. And then when Judy and Lucy get into a fight and then she sees his draw of the strawberry.

Lucy: We're in the middle of a revolution, Jude. And what are you doing? Doodles and cartoons?
Jude: Well I'm sorry I'm not the man with the mega-phone, but this is what I do.

There are a lot of other scenes in tis movie that I absolutely love, like the All You Need Is Love, I Want You, Girl and All My Loving scenes. But this was the one that got stuck into my head the most!

So tell me, what was the thing you liked the most about this movie? Pleease, I wanna know everyone's opinion!

With... Annette Benning, Sally Field, Sofia Coppola & Cate Blanchett!

This was baaack in 2006 at the 13th Annual Premiere Women in Hollywood.
Annette and Evan worked together in the super cool "Running With Scissors". Evan played Cate Blanchett's daugther in "The Missing". Evryone knows Sally Field from several movies and most recently on the tc show "Brothers & Sisters".
Sofia Coppola, how come not adore this woman?! She's one of the best directors, ever. "Lost In Translation" and "The Virgin Suicides" are two great films. She has such a good taste and she's so classy. And for a super cool Sofia fotolog, just go to /i_heart_sofia!

three new projects!

2009-03-09T12:03:00.000-07:00

This photoshoot was taken during the Venice Film Festibal last year. She was there to promote The Wrestler and she wore this lovely Lanvin black-white stripes dress. Here are info about Evan's new projects:

- Flora Plum: Directed by Jodie Foster and Evan is set to play the title-character. A penniless girl, Flora, in the 1930's is taken in by a circus freak, and even as he falls in love with her, she begins to launch a career in the circus herself.

- Sucker Punch: Zack Snyder will be directing this movie. Amanda Seyfried, Vanessa Hudgens, Abbie Cornsih, Emma Stone and Evan Rachel Wood are rumoured to join this production. Set in the 1950s, the movie follows a girl who is confined to a mental institution by her stepfather, who intends to have her lobotomized in five days. While there, she imagines an alternative reality to hide her from the pain, and in that world, she begins planning her escape, needing to steal five objects to help get her out before she is deflowered by a vile man.

Amanda would play Babydoll, the institutionalized girl; Vanessa a character named Blondie; Abbie would play Sweet Pea; Emma would play Amber and Evan Rachel would play Rocket. Sounds pretty interesting! And for those who don't remember, Vanessa Hudgens and Evan already worked together in Thirteen (she was Tracy's best friend, before everything).

More on Sucker Punch

- American Patoral: A man, in postwar America, watches his seemingly perfect life fall apart as his daughter's new political affiliation threatens to destroy their family. Nothing is confirmed yet, but besides Evan, Jennifer Connelly and Paul Bettany are also rumoured to star in this movie, which will be directed by Phillip Noyce.

venus zine - march 2009

2009-03-05T10:26:00.000-08:00

Evan is on the cover os the March issue of Venus Zine magazine, she was #1 on the list top 25 under 25.

"I was one of those little girls that freaks the adults out, I think I was just always performing whenever I could. So even just when I was having a conversation with somebody, I would be playing a character. This little two-year old could come up to them and sit down, but I would be acting like Elizabeth Taylot or something.

My parantes were worried if I wanted to be a lawyer or a doctor or something, like 'What are we going to do?'."

Here are the pictures:

Evan will return to her theatrical roots in her hometown Raleigh, NC, at Theatre In The Park (TIP), for a special Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, starring as Juliet. The play will be directed by her brother, Ira David Wood IV. She'll be joined by her father, Ira David Wood III, who is also an executive and artistic director of TIP. He has said:

"Evan's first major role at Theatre In The Park was as Helen Keller in The Miracle Worker. [...] Watching her work, there was no doubt in my mind that she was going to have an amazing career as an actress. We're all deeply grateful that she and her brother came to us with this project. It's always so important to come home and to give something back to the place and people who nurtured and helped guide you when you were just starting out. It's going to be a wonderful production and I'm grateful to have been included."

The production is scheduled for May 2009, and Hollywood and Broadway celebrities are expected to attend.

How gorgeous was Evan with that champagne Elie Saab gown?! She made it trough a list of the best dressed of the night. And I must say, her fashion sense improved a lot (remember the disaster at the Behind the Camera Awards.)

x This year the Oscar was so different, not boring as it usually is... There were some great moments, like Ben Stiller as Joaquin Phoenix (by far, my favourite moment of the night, geez)! The musical part was pretty good too, specially the first one about the nominated movies/actors. Hugh Jackman was a great host!
x When Heath's family accepteed his Oscar... everyone was with teary eyes... oh wow, no words.
x Penélope was just too cute there saying she might faint. I'm more than glad she won.
x Kate Winslet was fabulous and I think I'm just as happy as /lovely__kate is right now. haha!!
x Mickey didn't win... and I must say I kinda already expected that. Sean Penn is a great actor, must have deserved. And on his acceptance speech he said "Mickey rises again and he's my brother".
Mickey was wearing a necklace with a picture of his dog, Loki, who passed away last week. He must be really sad about his dog... I mean, he even said thanks to him at the Golden Globes.
x Slumdog Millionaire was my favourite movie of the night, so I'm glad it won, basically, everything and the most important award of the night! And how cute were the children who played young Jamal/Salim/Latika there?! And yeah. Go, Danny Boyle and Dev Patel!

E! red carpet interview with Ryan Seacrest:

2009-02-19T09:28:00.000-08:00

So, I finally watched The Wrestler. And wow, what a movie! I'm not gonna say much about it cause I don't wanna give any detial away, just that it's an amazing movie. Many people get emocional by the end of it and even cry, but I felt a little sad and a bit depressed, maybe it was just my mood...
Darren Aronofsky took out the best of each actor and we can clearly see that, everything seems so natural and real. Evan Rachel had a supporting and small role, but she did it brilliantly. Marisa Tomei also did it great as the stripper and (probably) the only one who really cares about Randy.

Last but not least: No one else could have portrayed The Ram the way Mickey did. It's like it was meant to be, you know? And now, more than ever, I can say: the man deserves all the awards he's getting!
And let's just wait until Sunday to see how it goes... :)

Anyway, Evan stopped by The Soup, and it wasn't actualy an interview, well, just watch it cause it's damn funny to see her "wrestling skills" :P

With... Angelina Jolie & Brad Pitt!

Since they're the most talked about couple ever and have one of the sweetest families around, here we have a picture of Evan and Mickey with Brangelina at the SAG party.
I admire Angelina (Girl, Interrupted) for all the humanitarian work she does and everything. Brad was never really one of my favorite actors, even though he's been in many great films such as Fight Club, Thelma & Louise, Babel and many many others. They're both nominated for the Oscar in the leading actors category, Angelina for Changeling and Brad for wonderful The Curious Case of Benjamin Button.

Raised by their aunts after their parents' death, the sisters grew up in a household that was anything but typical--their aunts fed them chocolate cake for breakfast and taught them the uses of practical magic. But the invocation of the Owens' sorcery also carries a price--some call it a curse: the men they fall in love with are doomed to an untimely death. Now adult women with very different personalities, the quiet Sally and the fiery Gillian must use all of their powers to fight the family curse and a swarm of supernatural forces that threatens the lives of all the Owens women.

Michelle Trachtenberg!

Evan with actress Michelle Trachtenberg at the Sundance Film Festival in 2005. During the festival, both girls attended to the party for the movie "The Chumscrubber" (which is damn great, highly reccomended if you haven't seen it), Evan was at that party because this movie stars her ex, Jamie Bell.

And you probably know Michelle as Georgie from Gossip Girl. She's been in many other tv series (Buffy) and some movies (EuroTrip). She is a good actress, but I don't think many people really see it. It would be great to see them working together, beautiful and talented young ladies. And don't they look cute there?

new gossip alert!

2009-01-31T09:53:00.000-08:00

It's almost like I saw it coming. New rumours say Evan and Mickey are dating!! Oh wow! When is the marriage? Is she pregnant already? Gosh... couldn't they at least make up something better? Cause it's always the same old story, and I'm getting sick of it. The media could say she's buying a house in China, it would be an innovation in the tabloid world and I bet a lot more people would believe! ;)

This is just what she had to say about this whole story to Rolling Stone:
"I’m upset because I feel disrespected by the press and by Mr. Rourke. Just because I’m single doesn’t mean that you can take advantage of me. It’s unfair that the performances might suffer because of all of these distractions. I'm not attracted to him, he's too old for me. Nothing ever happened and nothing ever will."

And she has said a zillion times that she and Mickey bonded so much after the movie, he's a dear friend like a dad to her, and that she's so proud to have worked with him. Anyway, here are some sweet pictures of them at the screening of The Wrestler last year, looking very close, just like father and daugther!

2009-01-28T08:49:00.000-08:00

When they started dating, I was really... shcoked. I was never a big fan of MM, all that make up and goth style he has used to scare the hell out of me. But seeing that Evan Rachel was happy as she had never been before, I realised that maybe he wasn't that bad... and I started to like him! They were such a cool, weird, lovely couple! And when they broke up it was really sad... but only nothing can last forever.

Here's something she said on the SMH interview:
"I've seen blogs where I've been called a slut, a whore, that say I should be condemned to death simply because I've fallen in love.

I just have nothing but a massive amount of respect and admiration for him. I do believe he is one of the last real rock stars. I think over time, more and more people are going to realise that."

Yesterday was the Screen Actors Guild Awards, and Evan was pretty in a blue Monique Lhuillier dress and Sergio Rossi shoes & clutch.

Mickey Rourke was nominated for Outstanding Performance by Male Actor in a Leading Role, but Sean Penn won for his role in the movie Milk.
And honestly, I am happy as hell Sean won, he's one of my favourite actors... and what I mean is, that Mickey didn't win but at least he lost it to someone who also really deserves it! And it makes us more curious about who'll get the Oscar!

Leaving Jimmy Kimmel Live - January 16th 2009

2009-01-19T11:31:00.000-08:00

Evan appeared on the Jimmy Kimmel show on Friday (Jan 16th) and the interview is damn great. Here are the two top moments of it:
- Evan reveals that she had her frist drink at the Golden Globes, an apple martini when she was 14!
- Her 21st brithday, she spent with Darren Aronofsky, Mickey Rourke and Marylin Manson. And the only thing she can remember is: drinking and then, waking up in a bathroom handcufed with a pink bottle of champagne!

Also, she talks more about working with Mickey and the movie. Almost in the end, Jimmy shows a video of the movie (not recomended for those who are dying to watch it like I am - no, it's not spoiler or anything, it just a small preview of Evan and Mickey showing they did great and it leaves you wanting more!). Seriously, watch the interview cause it's totally worth it!

Evan with... Dakota Fanning!

Here's Evan Rachel with 14-year old actress Dakota Fanning, who you all may know from I Am Sam, Hide and Seek and many other movies and tv appereances. She's one talented girl and just like Evan, started working when she was just a little girl and is growing up in this crazy bussiness.
I really hope she keeps going on the good way and take her job seriously, and doesn't turn into a irresponsible actress crying for attention not with her roles but with scandals and stuff... you know what/who I mean ;) And that's the easy way to go, when you're not smart and down-to-earth.
However, we have great examples of child stars that turned out pretty great like Natalie Portman, Scarlett Johansson, Drew Barrymore and of course, our dearest girl Evan!

Today Evan will be at the Jimmy Kimmel Live!

Jan 11th: InStyle and Warner Bros Golden Globe after party

2009-01-15T05:23:00.000-08:00

This is Evan's new tattoo. Its a part from the poem A Dream Within a Dream, written by Edgar Allan Poe in 1849 and it says:
All that we see or seem
Is but a dream within a dream.

(to see pictures of her other tattoos, just click on the "tattoo" label)

Anyway, here are pictures of her at the Golden Globes after party:

Jan 11th: 66th Golden Globes Awards

2009-01-12T06:41:00.001-08:00

Yesterday was the 66th Golden Globes and this is how stunning and divine Evan Rachel was looking in that Elie Saab dress. Her style just keeps gettin' better! “It felt like my personality and it catches the light. [But] I’m hungry. I never eat before this awards show!” she told the USA Today.

The Wrestler won 2 out of the 3 categories it was nominated:
Best Original Song for Bruce Springsteen (loved when he said it was probably the only time he had a competition with Clint Eastwood);
Best Actor in a Drama Motion Picture for Mickey Rourke.
Marisa Tomei didn't get the award of Best Supporting Actress... but hey, Kate Winslet won and I'm really happy she did it... twice! Wow, maybe this year she'll won the Oscar, that woman deserves!

And in general, I think this year was pretty good. I haven't watched all the movies, but all the winners seemed very fair. And Heath Ledger won... it's kinda heartbreaking, since it's been almost a year he passed away. He was amazing as the Joker and The Dark Knight was all about that character!

And she was interviewed by Ryan Seacrest on the red carpet, watch here:

Oh My Effin God! She looks flawless in that Jasmine Di Milo dress and Stuart Weitzman heels. Loved loved her whole style there, not a girl, a woman. Evan started the year with a great fashion choice!

The awards season has just began, so hopefully we'll see a lot of Evan on the red carpert (thank you very much, The Wrestler!). The Golden Globes are tomorrow, Mickey and Marisa are nominated, and she'll be there as well to support her co-stars. And here's what she said about this magic time of year:

“It really didn’t hit me until today when I was in the (dress) fittings. It dawned on me what was coming up: Golden Globes are coming up, awards season, oh yeah.”

Mickey Jim Stugess and Minnie Evan Rachel Mouse goofing around Disney, last year. Yeah, fot those who are not aware, they're like BFF.

But the thing is: Evan confirmed she'll be a part of Spiderman: The Musical on Broadway, which will be directed by the great Julie Taymor. Bono (who also made a small cameo on Across The Universe) and the Edge from U2 will be responsible for the music & lyrics of the project. Rehearsals will start in June 2009 with a speculated start date of early to mid 2010.
But wait a minute... who'll be Peter Parker? Well, they're still trying to convince Jim Sturgess! Wouldn't it be awesome if he get the role? They make a great team, and they must work together again!
