Jennifer Lawrence Quits THE ROSIE PROJECT and Joins Darren Aronofsky's Next Film

It seems that Sony's "The Rosie Project" has just hit one masssive roadblock. The romantic dramedy was developed as a vehicle for "The Hunger Games" star Jennifer Lawrence, with "Boyhood" helmer Richard Linklater set to direct. Now, both Lawrence and Linklater have departed the project for unspecified reasons. The actress has just finished work on "X-Men: Apocalypse" and is currently filming the sci-fi drama "Passengers". "The Rosie Project" was set to begin production this winter.

However, Jennifer Lawrence is now in talks to star in Darren Aronofsky's next film. There is no information on what this project would be, but it's nevertheless an interesting pairing for what looks to be an indie project. Despite all the secrecy, sources say that the film is expected to start filming this spring.

Lawrence can be seen this year in the final chapter of the "Hunger Games" saga, "Mockingjay Part 2", and the biopic "Joy", her third project with director David O. Russell.

BOYHOOD Wins Top Honors at 2015 BAFTA Awards

Well, this was unexpected. While "Birdman" was cleaning up all the Guild awards in the U.S., "Boyhood" created an upset by winning Best Film and Best Director (Richard Linklater) at the British Academy of Film and Television Arts Awards. The film also picked up an award for Supporting Actress (Patricia Arquette). The BAFTAs ignored "Birdman" for the top awards, but did send it home with a much deserved win for Cinematography (Emmanuel Lubezki).

"The Grand Budapest Hotel" was actually the big winner of the evening with a total of 5 awards, including Original Screenplay, Production Design and Original Music. "The Theory of Everything" scored wins for Best British Film and Leading Actor (Eddie Redmayne), and Julianne Moore took home the Leading Actress award for her performance in "Still Alice"

2015 Directors Guild Nominees Announced

The Directors Guild of America has announced its nominations for the 67th Annual DGA Awards. The five directors nominated are:

• Wes Anderson - "The Grand Budapest Hotel"
  
  
• Clint Eastwood - "American Sniper"
  
  
• Alejandro González Iñárritu - "Birdman"
  
  
• Richard Linklater - "Boyhood"
  
  
• Morton Tyldum - "The Imitation Game"
  
  

As with the other Guild Awards, the DGAs too are solid indicators for the Oscars. Some noticeable snubs here include David Fincher for "Gone Girl" and Ava DuVernay for "Selma". The latter film has been pretty much ignored by the Guilds and was recently snubbed by the BAFTAs, so its Oscar prospects are not looking good. The winners will be announced on February 7, 2015.

DVD & Blu-Ray: BOYHOOD Starring Ethan Hawke and Patricia Arquette

Product Description: Filmed over 12 years with the same cast, Richard Linklater's BOYHOOD is a groundbreaking story of growing up as seen through the eyes of a child named Mason (a breakthrough performance by Ellar Coltrane), who literally grows up on screen before our eyes. Starring Ethan Hawke and Patricia Arquette as Mason's parents and newcomer Lorelei Linklater as his sister Samantha, BOYHOOD charts the rocky terrain of childhood like no other film has before. Snapshots of adolescence from road trips and family dinners to birthdays and graduations and all the moments in between become transcendent, set to a soundtrack spanning the years from Coldplay's Yellow to Arcade Fire's Deep Blue. BOYHOOD is both a nostalgic time capsule of the recent past and an ode to growing up and parenting. It's impossible to watch Mason and his family without thinking about our own journey.
