I love the two of them! This sounds great! HBO is really putting some great movies out there, lately.

From Deadline.com:

It took James Gandolfini 6 years to get the story of Ernest Hemingway and Martha Gellhorn to the screen.

Now HBO has just given the green light to Hemingway & Gellhorn, an original movie produced by Gandolfini, who first was attached to star in the project in 2004 when it was envisioned as a feature.

He then brought Hemingway to HBO through his Attaboy production banner, which has been based at the pay cable network since 2006.

It was worth the wait now that it stars Clive Owen and Nicole Kidman as one of American literature’s most famous couples.

Clive Owen and Catherine Keener are starring in the drama “Trust,” David Schwimmer’s second foray into directing.

“Trust” tells the story of a family blindsided when their teenage daughter becomes a victim of an online sexual predator. Owen and Keener play the parents. Newcomer Liana Liberato is the daughter.

Schwimmer came up with the story. Andy Bellin wrote the script for the Millennium Films project.

Schwimmer’s first film behind the camera was the Simon Pegg-starring comedy “Run Fatboy Run,” which topped the U.K. box office for five consecutive weeks in 2007 and was nominated for a British Independent Film Award.

Keener stars in Spike Jonze’s “Where the Wild Things Are” and next reteams with “Friends With Money” director Nicole Holofcener for “Please Give.” Owen is onscreen in the recently released drama “The Boys Are Back.”
