A rich ensemble comedy with two central leads. The project is intended to be a love letter to the resilience of the life force and is a story of an unexpected romance that develops against the backdrop of a Southern patriarch's hilariously elaborate memorial.

February 16, 2007: C'mon Hollywood #117:
... Ashton Kutcher isn’t that bad!
by Sturdy
Sometimes performers get a lot of criticism despite never really turning in any bad performances. Other times, actors get loads of praise...
October 14, 2005: INT: Cameron Crowe:
It’s
good to see Cameron Crowe return to his roots. Before
he went all experimental with VANILLA SKY, Crowe was an expert at serving up
heartfelt guilty pleasures like SAY ANYTHING and ALMOST FAMOUS, emotional films
infused with hip soundtracks that...
October 13, 2005: INT: Orlando Bloom:
Orlando Bloom
gets his first crack at an American accent this week in Cameron Crowe’s latest
film, ELIZABETHTOWN .
The prettyboy Brit made a name for himself slinging swords in epics like
TROY, KINGDOM OF HEAVEN, PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN and, of...
October 13, 2005: INT: Kirsten Dunst:
Kirsten
Dunst is growing up. It seems like just
yesterday that her wicked booty-shaking in BRING IT ON inspired a whole new wave
of cheerleader fetishists. Now she's all
serious and stuff, playing Marie-Antoinette and making Charlie Kaufman films....
October 4, 2005: Elizabethtown is cut:
As
I'm sure you all know by now, writer-director Cameron Crowe's latest
film, ELIZABETHTOWN ,
was shown at the Toronto Film Festival a few weeks ago, as an
"unfinished cut", running about 135...
September 30, 2005: Trailer round-up:
There's been a hell of a lot of trailers and clips released in the past few days and in case you don't visit our trailer
page regularly (and if you don't, why the hell don't you?), I'm here to tell you about them.
First up, the trailer...
September 23, 2005: Trailer round-up:
I guess the biggest trailer news of the day is the trailer for the Jennifer Aniston and Clive Owen-starring thriller DERAILED . I'd comment on it but since Moviefone's AOL player was doing that thing it's extremely
good at, which is not working, all...
September 13, 2005: Brokeback website:
In case you hadn't heard, Ang Lee's upcoming BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN recently debuted at the Venice Film Festival and won the top prize. It's not too surprising
considering it's excellent trailer and the generally good buzz it's been receiving. What...
September 12, 2005: Toronto Fest videos:
If you haven't read Scott Weinberg's first report from the Toronto International Film Festival then you should probably
go ahead and do that. You should probably go ahead and make it a point to read the rest of his reports too and not only...

August 29, 2005: EXCL: Bloom Interview!:
ELIZABETHTOWN (unfortunately) doesn't hit theaters until October, but we got to chat with star Orlando Bloom last week during a rare break in filming on the PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN sequels. The plans to chat about the film happened real quick; so quick,...
August 9, 2005: Hooligans trailer:
I'm not sure how this slipped by me since I kinda want to see this movie but the trailer for GREEN STREET HOOLIGANS has been out for about a week now. The movie tells
the story of guy (played by Elijah Wood) who gets kicked out of Harvard and...
August 4, 2005: Even more E'town pics:
UPDATE - Paramount dropped a line and kindly asked that I remove the pictures I posted earlier as they weren't approved for use. In their place, they've provided JoBlo.com with some new, exclusive images, which ARE approved for us. Read on...
I almost...
July 15, 2005: Sarandon likes Doris:
I keep seeing those Revlon commercials with Susan Sarandon and they kinda freak me out. Not because she doesn't look great (because she does) but because it's Susan Sarandon looking all sexy and stuff. I think it's the same "mom" effect that I have with Helen...
July 5, 2005: Crowe talks Elizabethtown:
I'm a fan of all flicks
Cameron Crowe, and looking forward to his latest, ELIZABETHTOWN ,
even though I'm not exactly sure what it's all about (if you haven't
seen it yet, you can check out the film's trailer...
July 1, 2005: 4 new posters:
After the exclusive
first look at one of the 2 final BROKEN FLOWERS posters
yesterday, we received 3 more new movie one-sheets today, including
the teaser poster for 2006's ICE AGE 2, the Joaquin...
June 24, 2005: Elizabethtown trailer:
I'm gonna keep this one short. MTV has the first full trailer (unless you consider the seven minutes of footage
at AICN an extended trailer ) for Cameron Crowe's ELIZABETHTOWN . It's good
stuff and Jessica Biel is hot. Click on Kirsten Dunst' shiny...
June 23, 2005: 7-min. of E'town!:
There were always those rumors back in the 70s that Jimmy Page had sold his soul to the Devil to play guitar as magically as he did for Led Zeppelin. 30-something years later I'm wondering if Cameron Crowe has done the same thing. How else can you explain a man...
June 20, 2005: Elizabethtown poster:
UPDATE: Thanks to
Latinoreview.com, check out the actual poster below. Click to see
enlarged.
There aren't too many of Cameron
Crowe's films that I'm not going to be looking forward to in...
June 16, 2005: More E'Town pics:
I feel like I've been waiting just about forever for ELIZABETHTOWN to hit theatres (in actuality it's been about two years since the film was first announced) but it's only about four months until the film is finally released. It seems criminal that we have to...
April 12, 2005: Jack loves Details:
Jack Nicholson and Randy Quaid made a movie about thirty years ago titled THE LAST DETAIL. The movie was based on a Darryl Poniscan novel with a script
from Robert Towne and under director Hal Ashby. Ponsican recently wrote a sequel to the movie, titled...
April 11, 2005: E'town, Dukes on web:
While it's admittedly not much, Paramount Pictures quietly launched the official website for Cameron Crowe's ELIZABETHTOWN over the weekend. It features only a striking photo of stars Orlando Bloom and Kirsten Dunst looking out on a beautiful country...
April 6, 2005: Biel is a Hitcher:
Producer of the upcoming THE AMYTIVILLE HORROR , Brad Fuller, has been
making the interview rounds and let it slip that uber-hottie Jessica Biel could have a major role in Platinum Dunes' remake of THE HITCHER. However, Fuller is
quick to point out...
February 22, 2005: Sarandon likes Wood:
Now that she's done exploring her Milf and possibly Gilf side in last year's ALFIE, Susan Sarandon is moving on to WOODCOCK - MR. WOODCOCK, that is. She's recently joined the cast of this giggle inducing titled movie (yeah, I just giggled) for New Line...
February 9, 2005: New E'town pics:
One of the films I'm most looking forward to in 2005 in Cameron Crowe's ELIZABETHTOWN. Maybe that's a biased opinion because Cameron Crowe could film himself sleeping and I'm be anxious to see it. I'm just a huge fan of all his work (though I will admit to never...
January 11, 2005: New Paramount pics:
The official 2005 Paramount preview is yet to come but today we've got a preview of their preview with a first look at some new stills from ELIZABETHTOWN and THE BAD NEWS BEARS. The former stars Orlando Bloom and Kirsten Dunst in a Cameron Crowe film and the...
November 26, 2004: New Biel pictures:
I'm a fan of Jessica Biel. I've never
seen her on that goodie-goodie TV show called "7th
Heaven", but became more than aware of her remarkable
"attributes" when she decided to bare some skin in one of...
July 22, 2004: Elizabethtown set pics:
In a few years we'll look back and chuckle to ourselves at the possibility of Ashton Kutcher starring in Cameron Crowe's ELIZABETHTOWN. It'll rank up there with Tom Selleck as Indiana Jones or Christopher Walken as Han Solo. Luckily Kutch was jettisoned and...
March 31, 2004: Elizabethtown cast set!:
Susan Sarandon and Jessica Biel have joined the cast of Cameron Crowe's ELIZABETHTOWN joining Kirsten Dunst and Orlando Bloom. Sarandon will star as the mother of Bloom's character, a role long thought to feature the return of Jane Fonda to acting after a long...
January 9, 2004: Casting roundup:
First of all, it seems director Cameron Crowe has found a replacement for
Ashton Kutcher in in his next project, ELIZABETHTOWN for Dreamworks. Orlando
Bloom will step in opposite Kirsten Dunst in the film that centers around a
suicidal man that must return...
November 26, 2003: Hanks replaces Ashton?:
You may have heard by now the rumor mill swirling with reports (that originated on Page Six in the New York Post, which admittedly isn't the most reliable of sources) that Ashton Kutcher left ELIZABETHTOWN because he just didn't have the chops required for the...
November 6, 2003: Kutcher bails on Crowe:
Ashton Kutcher has officially left the Cameron Crowe production ELIZABETHTOWN because of scheduling conflicts with his TV shows "That 70s Show" and "Punk'd." A representative for Kutcher says the actor had to leave when writer/director Crowe pushed back the...
October 24, 2003: No Ashton for Crowe?:
Writer/Director Cameron Crowe wants to push back the start date of his upcoming romantic comedy ELIZABETHTOWN so the setting is more in tune with the season in which the script was written. So a January start date was scrapped and now the production will begin...
August 11, 2003: Elizabethtown cast:
Not too much is known abotu Cameron Crowe's ELIZABETHTOWN. We know it stars Ashton Kutcher and Kirsten Dunst and revolves around the romance that develops at the funeral of a southern patriarch. Beyond that, details are scant. But Ed from FilmJerk wrote in to...
July 10, 2003: More on Crowe's next!:
To me, right now the most fascinating Crowe in Hollywood isn't Russell but Cameron. I don't know of a film higher up on my I've-got-to-find-out-more-about-this-film list than ELIZABETHTOWN, Crowe's next film. Luckily, someone sensed my urge for more information...
