It's financing and handling worldwide sales on "Love and Other Impossible Pursuits," which will star Jennifer Lopez in an emotional and comedic drama about a woman's stormy relationship with her young stepson. Producer is Marc Platt. Capitol is handling international sales on "The Fortress of Solitude," which is being financed by its producer Michael London via his Groundswell Prods. Pic, Marston's follow-up to "Maria Full of Grace," is adapted from the novel of the same name by Jonathan Lethem, about the only white kid in a black neighborhood of Brooklyn, and his unlikely friendship with the son of a washed-up soul singer. Both movies are due to shoot this summer. Deals for both were negotiated by William Morris Independent's Rena Ronson and Capitol's Jane Barclay. I wonder where it will be filmed.

Posts: 7821 05/15/07 3:41 PM You wanted to tussle. We tussled.	More from : *The Hollywood Reporter* May 16, 2007 CANNES -- British-based finance and sales house Capitol Films, snapped up by Los Angeles-based entrepreneurs David Bergstein and Ronald Tutor last year, has boarded the Jennifer Lopez starrer "Love and Other Impossible Pursuits" as a co-financier. Lopez will star in the movie penned by Don Roos, who is lined up to direct from his own script. Capitol also is taking worldwide sales duties on the picture as part of the deal brokered by William Morris Independent's Rena Ronson and Capitol's Jane Barclay. Capitol comes to Cannes with the picture as a presale for buyers. The company worked with Lopez on her outing in "Bordertown," a film that unspooled in Competition this year at the Berlin International Film Festival. Produced by Marc Platt ("Wanted"), "Impossible Pursuits" is billed as a funny and moving story that details the story of a woman's "tempestuous relationship with her young stepson." Peter Naish, who recently joined Capitol Films as co-managing director, described Roos' script as "the kind of feisty yet sexy role that could have been made for Jennifer." Advertisement

Posts: 1474 05/16/07 7:17 AM Jen's Online Stylist Beyond Bitchy.	Excuse my ignorance, but when is the summer period for the U.S? Is it July thru to September? You guys should totally read the book, it's a great read. Jennifer's character is fab-u-loussss. This project is just such a dream for me! Director - Don Roos - Excellent!!! Lead Actress - Jennifer - EXCELLENT! The book the movie is based on - EXCELLENT! This movie is going to be great for Jen and her advancement to achieving higher status as an actress... It's not a humungous hollywood blockbuster but it's also not a dodgy indie movie, so there'll be plenty of freedom for Jen to shine at her best artistically, working with great talent and an accomodating budget. This is exactly what she needs (and obviously wants as she's stated earlier this year!) Last Edited By: gLaMouR bOi 05/16/07 7:26 AM. Edited 1 time.

Posts: 1474 05/16/07 8:29 AM Jen's Online Stylist Beyond Bitchy.	well i read the devil wears prada book after the movie, which was good coz not only did it have extra bits not in the movie, but it helped me sort of re-live and love it all over again... maybe waiting to read the book until after seeing the movie is a better option for most people. What I like though, is that the movie's script is going to be penned by Don himself, who has written a couple of his own movies already. So it's gonna be a lil more different and exciting even after reading the book. I just can't get over how happy I am about this all! eta: I just remembered, I've already read the movie's script!

Posts: 7821 05/16/07 9:23 AM You wanted to tussle. We tussled.	^ yeah i've read the first 4 pages of the script, and the beginning is presented like Happy Endings, you know with the two screens, with one showing a scene and the other a black screen with a text, i loved that in Happy Ending!! Also he's friend with Lisa Kudraw and she was in The Opposit of sex and Happy endings, i wonder if he's gonna cast her here too, she could play the ex wife, i don't know if it's a big role ? what do you think ?

Posts: 865 05/16/07 10:29 AM Cherish my words, they're golden	With wry candor and tender humor, acclaimed novelist Ayelet Waldman has crafted a strikingly beautiful novel for our time, tackling the absurdities of modern life and reminding us why we love some people no matter what. For Emilia Greenleaf, life is by turns a comedy of errors and an emotional minefield. Yes, she's a Harvard Law grad who married her soul mate. Yes, they live in elegant comfort on the Upper West Side of Manhattan. But with her one-and-only, Jack, came a stepson-a know-it-all preschooler named William who has become her number one responsibility every Wednesday afternoon. With William, Emilia encounters a number of impossible pursuits-such as the pursuit of cab drivers who speed away when they see William's industrial-strength car seat and the pursuit of lactose-free, strawberry-flavored, patisserie-quality cupcakes, despite the fact that William's allergy is a figment of his over-protective mother's imagination. As much as Emilia wants to find common ground with William, she becomes completely preoccupied when she loses her newborn daughter. After this, the sight of any child brings her to tears, and Wednesdays with William are almost impossible. When his unceasing questions turn to the baby's death, Emilia is at a total loss. Doesn't anyone understand that self-pity is a full-time job? Ironically, it is only through her blundering attempts to bond with William that she finally heals herself and learns what family really means. this is from the book descripition

Posts: 1474 05/16/07 10:38 AM Jen's Online Stylist Beyond Bitchy.	nmou: whoever's cast for the role of the ex wife, needs to be beautiful, cold and competitive... what came to mind almost immediately was Portia De Rossi's character in Ally McBeal way back when, but she's totally irrelevant these days. But yeah a character like that would be totally fitting. She has to make Jennifer look inadequate in every way (almost impossible, i know:P) I too loved the way Happy Endings was set out. I love how (in L&OIP) the beginning footage intertwines with the ending footage, it was really very sweet.. brought a tear to my eye just reading how it was going to be done. Don is amazing!
