Paul Bettany and Jennifer Connelly to Play On-Screen Couple
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Adaptation, Drama, Period, Religious, Casting, Upcoming Releases,
Paul Bettany and Jennifer Connelly, co-stars in A Beautiful Mind, will soon be reuniting for a new film. This project will mark the first time the real-life couple has worked together as an on-screen couple.
Creation, an adaptation of a Randal Keynes novel, will tell the story of Keynes’ great-great-grandfather, Charles Darwin. Bettany will play the man who eventually comes to question God’s role in life despite the views of his deeply religious wife (Connelly).
The film - which also features Jeremy Northam (The Tudors) and Toby Jones (Infamous) - begins production at the end of this month.

This Week on HD DVD and Blu-ray: January 29, 2008
Posted by Johnny Mercedes Categories: Sony, Warner Bros, Adaptation, Classics, Drama, Foreign, Music, Musicals, Religious, Satire, Comedy, Thrillers, Home Entertainment, New Releases,
Happy Tuesday, all!
The big news this week is the release of Monty Python’s Life of Brian on Blu-ray. The classic film, walking the hyper-sensitive line between important social issues and side-splitting comedy, is easily one of the best from the Python team, and should have a place on every movie lover’s shelf. Why not own it in gorgeous 1080p resolution and Dolby 5.1 surround sound? The harmless religious satire is that much better.
On a side note, am I crazy, or has Warner started consistently releasing films on HD DVD weeks later than those released on Blu-ray? For instance, this week’s Blu-ray release, The Invasion, won’t come out on HD DVD until February 19. And it’s not this one time either—the list of upcoming titles from High-Def Digest shows a serious lag in Warner HD DVD releases. I realize that Warner is phasing the format out, but have they officially put HD DVD on the back burner?
Check out the full list of high-def releases after the jump.
