Kate Bosworth stays in 'Love Hotels'
Pic based on novel is 'Young Victoria' director's next project
"Young Victoria" director Jean-Marc Vallee has found his next project: "Lost Girls and Love Hotels."
Kate Bosworth is attached to star and is also producing with Relativity Media.
Nadia Conners wrote the screenplay, which adapts Catherine Hanrahan's 2006 novel.
The story centers on a woman (Bosworth) who tries to forget her past while working in Tokyo as an English specialist at a stewardess training institute by day and losing herself in a sex- and drug-addled oblivion by night. She finds herself on the road to redemption when she becomes interested in a missing Western girl.
Also producing are J.J. Harris and Bruna Papandrea.
Vallee's "Victoria," which opens Dec. 18 via Bob Berney's Apparition and Graham Kings' GK Films, is getting attention for its style and for the strong performance of Emily Blunt.
The idea with "Lost Girls" is for ICM-repped Vallee to draw a strong female performance and marry that with a setting that is gritty yet vibrant, akin to his edgy and pop-soaked take in the 2005 French Canadian hit "C.R.A.Z.Y."
The idea of a Westerner in Japan has long intrigued the creative community, though Ridley Scott's "Black Rain" and Sofia Coppola's "Lost in Translation" are among the few screen stories so far. That might change as a convergence of projects seems to be bubbling up to the surface.
In addition to "Lost Girls," Stephanie Austin and Sara Risher of Chickflicks Prods. optioned Lisa Fineberg Cook's recently published memoir, "Japan Took the J.A.P. Out of Me," about an American Jewish woman in that country.
On the publishing front, "Tokyo Vice" -- about an American reporter on the crime beat in Japan -- is getting much attention. Also drawing interest is Vertigo comic book "Vertigo Pop! Tokyo," by Jonathan Vankin and Seth Fisher, involving an American, a wannabe celebrity, a kidnapped rock star and the yakuza. http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/hr/content_display/news/e3ic79966a20ccff392d1ed3d94254d11c0FINALLY!!!! I"M SO EXCITED!!!!  |

Remember a while back when Kate and Ryan Kavanaugh were spotted together and the tabloids tried to make it seem like they were dating? The reason they were spotted together is because not only did he serve as Executive Producer of 21, his company Relativity Media is serving as the main production company on Lost Girls. He's Executive Producing Lost Girls and he and Kate were probably just having a business meeting. But the tabloids always have to mess everything up lol

The crowd then hopped across Melrose Avenue to a three-storey party hosted by Calvin Klein, where the designer's diaphanous clothes hung next to flickering video installations by Jennifer West. But not all in attendance were thinking about art. Actress Kate Bosworth, who traversed the building's packed roof to squeeze into the bar, admitted she hadn't been to the fair. "I'm learning about art," she told The Daily Beast. "I'm kind of an impulsive person, so it's good to learn about it from people." And when it comes to the Oscars, Bosworth sighed. "I don't know if I'll go," she said, explaining that she's busy at work on Lost Girls and Love Hotels, for which she'll soon have to travel to Tokyo to film. "I'm just working on this new project. It's really close to my heart." http://www.thedailybeast.com/blogs-and-stories/2010-01-29/the-stars-come-out-for-calvin-klein/ |

That was, until suddenly the entrance to the bar was ablaze with flashbulbs as Kate Bosworth, wearing a Chanel dress and handbag, stepped inside.
The actress, whose hair was perfectly coiffed into a high bun that took a hairdresser 40 minutes to create, lamented that she would not be sticking around for Fashion Week. “I have to get back to L.A. to get back to a project,” said Bosworth, who is currently in the pre-production stage of a new movie. “It started with auctioning the rights to a book, finding the financing, finding the director, finding the script. It really does take a few years.” Now with a director onboard, things are moving forward and Bosworth is helping with the script. “I have been involved with the writing of the script closely and I will be involved with the re-writing of the script closely, so it really is kind of a hands-on experience all around.” http://www.vanityfair.com/online/style/2010/02/kate-bosworth-is-a-no-go-for-fashion-week-and-other-pre-bryant-park-gossip.htmlShe does help writing the script! |

so I realized that it's seemed like forever so she started working on this project, so I did a bit of research and learned that it takes on average nine years of development and production before a movie hits theatres. I knew it took time, but yikes, almost a decade, anyways, it's been what? like 3.5 or 4 years since she bought the rights to the book right? getting there..
