Everybody’s Fine, a remake of Giuseppe Tornatore’s “Stanno Tutti Bene,” follows a widower (Academy Award® winner Robert De Niro) who embarks on an impromptu road trip to reconnect with each of his grown children only to discover that their lives are far from picture perfect. At the heart of Everybody’s Fine is the theme of family and physical and emotional distances traveled to bring the members back together. Kirk Jones (”Waking Ned Devine”) directs.
They’re back! Robert De Niro and Ben Stiller are seen on the set of “Little Fockers”, the sequel to the hugely popular “Meet the Fockers” and “Meet the Parents”. They were seen sharing a laugh with one another in between takes.
Recently, MTV learned that Jessica Alba would have a small but vital role in “Little Fockers” as a pharmaceutical rep whose looks have a dangerous effect on the film’s male cast. Now, yet another actress is joining “Fockers,” though her influence is centered more on the little Fockers themselves.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, none other than “Jurassic Park” veteran Laura Dern has signed on for “Little Fockers,” playing the role of an elementary school’s headmistress. The children of Stiller and Teri Polo’s characters, said to be five year-old twins, attend the very school that Dern presides over.
Director Paul Weitz recently spoke about the film’s plot, which focuses on the lives of Greg and Pamela Focker (Stiller and Polo), now the proud parents of young twins. In this film, Greg has finally earned the respect of former CIA operative and all-around tough guy Jack (De Niro), Pamela’s father — but the trouble doesn’t end there.
“[It's] about no matter how you’ve moved ahead in your life, there’s still anxiety and insecurity around the corner for you,” Weitz said of the plot.
Robert DeNiro has added hotelier to his resume – the actor’s luxurious Greenwich Hotel opened in New York earlier this week.
The exclusive hotel, where rooms come with saunas and 30-foot skylights, and regular season suites start at $1,350 per night, opened its doors in the city’s TriBeCa district on Tuesday.
The Oscar winner is partners in the new venture with his son Raphael and businessmen Ira Drukier and Richard Born. De Niro also owns shares in restaurant chain Nobu.
