I used to want to save the world. To end war and bring peace to mankind. But then, I glimpsed the darkness that lives within their light and learned that inside every one of them there will always be both. A choice each must make for themselves. Something no hero will ever defeat. And now I know that only love can truly save the world. So, I stay. I fight, and I give… for the world I know can be. This is my mission now. Forever.

Legally Blonde (2001) dir Robert Luketic “To prepare for her role as Elle, Reese Witherspoon spent two weeks studying the behavior of sorority girls, as she did not wish to portray a stereotypical airhead sorority image. She states on the DVD commentary that they were all very kind and polite, and she enjoyed her time with them. She also observed women shopping from the café at Neiman Marcus, and attended law school for a day.”
Steve McQueen’s new film centers on four women who come together to pull off a $5 million robbery. Critic Justin Chang says:
“What do you do after you’ve made three studiously grim art films about an Irish prison revolt, an out-of-control sex addict and the horrors of slavery? If you’re Steve McQueen, the British director of Hunger, Shame and 12 Years a Slave, you cut loose with a crackling heist thriller featuring a juicy cast of A-list actors at the top of their game. But McQueen being McQueen, he can’t help doing this grand-scale Hollywood entertainment his way. As tense and sinuous and gripping as much of it is, Widows never feels like escapism. It has as much to say about how race, class, gender and politics intersect in American life as any movie I’ve seen this year.”
[Adam]… he’s a beast. That means he’s good. That means… let’s—let’s not get it twisted. You know, different words mean different things in different places, so. And the thing about Adam is his range. I have mad respect for everybody. But some people (holds both of his hands close together), other people (spreads his arms out). Adam’s like, “My arms are wide enough!” – Spike Lee
Newcomer Ella Jay Basco is in negotiations to land the last major role, Cassandra Cain, in Warner Bros.’ Harley Quinn spinoff, “Birds of Prey.”
Margot Robbie is back as Quinn with Mary Elizabeth Winstead and Jurnee Smollett-Bellon board as Huntress and Black Canary, respectively. Ewan McGregor will play the film’s villain and Rosie Perez will portray Gotham City police detective Renee Montoya.
Cathy Yan is directing the pic with Robbie producing, along with Sue Kroll and Bryan Unkeless.
In the new film, Robbie, Winstead, and Smollett-Bell team up to protect Cain’s character when she comes across a diamond belonging to McGregor’s Black Mask, a kingpin in Gotham City’s criminal underworld.
In DC Comics, Cain is the daughter of assassins David Cain and Lady Shiva, and is deprived of speech and human contact during her childhood as conditioning to become the world’s greatest assassin. She eventually befriends Bruce Wayne and goes on to become Batgirl. It is unknown whether the Batgirl element will be included in this storyline as WB is already developing a “Batgirl” movie.
