Mischa will have to have a English accent or this movie, right? Even more reason to see it. I hated it when she was on The OC in 3.24, some people kept claiming she couldn't do the accent. She's going to prove them wrong for sure.

The shows are over, but not sure if they are over for good. on his radio show, he mentioned a new show over the Summer, cos he's not doing BBBM this year.
Sure he will have plenty to say about Mischa.

I thought Mischas english accent was quite good in that episode of the OC!

If anyone's ever seen the movie Tart, Mischa can do a British accent just fine. I actually thought her accent was alright in The OC, lol, but she knew she was supposed to be an American pretending to be British.

I loved Mischa in Tart. And her accent was perfect. Now that you mention that my roommate stole that movie and now I have to find a new one

Ealing Studios announced today that they have sold the German and Benelux rights to the British comedy "St. Trinian's," which will be produced and directed by Oliver Parker ("The Importance of Being Earnest")

I like to see all this kind of news right off the bat. More than we've learned about Closing the Ring in a year, lol.

**Sam_MC** · 05-19-2007, 05:43 PM

St Trinian's promises class act

When the modern version of St Trinian's reaches cinemas this Christmas, its makers promise an anarchic view of British public school life that will be an "antidote to Harry Potter".

When the modern version of St Trinian's reaches cinemas this Christmas, its makers promise an anarchic view of British public school life that will be an "antidote to Harry Potter".

At the Cannes Film Festival, its stars Colin Firth and Rupert Everett were among cast and crew discussing the movie about the riotous girls' school, which is currently shooting.

Talulah Riley, who plays one of the unruly pupils, warns: "They will do anything and everything - there's drugs, there's sex, there's tattoos, piercings."

"It's going to shock some people," says co-director Oliver Parker.

The Belles of St Trinian's in 1954 launched the famed film series.

"It's curious because certain things will be a bit edgier and more challenging than they were, then again in the early films the girls are puffing away on cigarettes and of course you can't do that now," says Parker.

"I hope we have come up with something that's fresh and stands on its own."

The idea of a new version of an old favourite was suggested by Everett, who worked with Parker on An Ideal Husband and The Importance of Being Earnest.

Everett takes the dual role of the school headmistress and her brother, memorably played by Alastair Sim in two of the original movies.

"You should never really try and take on a role that has been played to the hilt - there is very little chance that you can do better," he admits.

Firth suggests: "You're very attractive - you're much more attractive than he ever was."

Among the figures used as inspiration for the headmistress is Camilla Parker Bowles, Everett confesses.

"She's a marvellous woman," he says. "She's got a sense of humour, and she likes a drink and a cigarette - she's my kind of girl."

Firth, who also starred in The Importance of Being Earnest, plays an MP planning to turn the school into a respectable institution when it nears bankruptcy.

His battle with the schoolgirls over the fate of St Trinian's sees him "humiliated in as many ways as possible", according to Parker.

"I am begging them to kill me off in this one," says Firth, in response to a question about possible sequels to the film.

"Let's see how people like this one first," says Parker.

He is co-directing the film with Barnaby Thompson, previously producer on a number of Parker's films.

The cast also includes Mischa Barton, star of US TV series The OC, Casino Royale actress Caterina Murino and TV presenter and comedian Russell Brand.

St Trinian's is due to finish shooting next week, having been filmed in and around Ealing Studios in west London.

Ealing Studios is famed for producing some of Britain's best-loved comedies in the 1940s and 50s, including Whisky Galore and The Ladykillers.

It returned to film-making in 2002 and has made one or two films a year since, but is now aiming to increase that to between three and six a year.

"We will be operating very much as a boutique version of the American studios," says managing director James Spring.

"In the same way that taking on Ealing Studios we have a great responsibility to its history, with St Trinian's we have a great responsibility to that history.

"They are great fun comedies, but with a real anarchic flavour to them.

"The film that we are making is very much based upon the values of the old St Trinian's movies."

Thanks, Marie!

I'm enjoying all the early buzz about this one.

Junk_Yard_Slut · 05-24-2007, 11:09 PM

Rupert Evertt was on a talk show here last night.

I missed the first couple of minutes, but towards the end. He mentioned St. Trinians, and how much hard work it was getting into the role...with the high heels and things. But he couldn't stop talking about how awesome his boobs were that they gave him, he loved his boobs, LOL. That's really all he talked about. He couldn't get over it, lol. That and how weird it was for him waking in heels.

I'm sure he talked about it at the start of the show, too. I'll watch the repeat and hopefully they'll be a Mischa mention somewhere. But, it's cool that the film is getting promotion so early on!

Junk_Yard_Slut · 06-04-2007, 09:18 AM

Sorry for the DP.

It seems like St. Trinian's already a lot of buzz in the UK. There's been interviews with Rupert Everett, and Colin Firth. And random entertainment shows have all been talking about it, too.

Some promotional stuff has already made it online.

Promo#1

Promo#2

**Cristofle** · 06-04-2007, 09:23 AM

Buzz is good! Her name attached to any kind of movie that gets buzz is good.

Junk_Yard_Slut · 06-04-2007, 12:03 PM

Yep, very true

Also, what's so awesome is that whenever the film is mentioned. Mischa's name is ALWAYS there somewhere, they'll name like two or three main actors in the film. And then Mischa's mentioned. Even though her role is said to be not that big and stuff. Her name is defintiely attached to the film, even more then those who have bigger roles then her in it. I guess they know she's huge around the globe and it'll help getting more buzz around it.

**Sam_MC** · 06-28-2007, 01:42 AM

Release date in Aus is December 26 and its being released by Sony. This funnily enough was the initial release date for Closing the Ring.

**-Alicia-** · 07-06-2007, 01:34 PM

Is there a US release date yet?
