| Rachel Weisz, Chloe Sevigny battle for 'Terminator 4' female lead
Melbourne, Sept 25 (ANI): Rachel Weisz is battling it out with Chloe Sevigny to play the female lead in 'Terminator 4', if reports are to be believed. Reports claim that the Oscar winner and Sevigny tried to impress the film's bosses at a Dazed and Confused magazine party at New York nightclub 'The Box' recently. A source said that they both approached the film's producers Derek Anderson and Victor Kubicek enquiring about the role. "Chloe and Rachel personally inquired to Anderson and Kubicek about the role at the party," Moviehole quoted the source, as telling New York Daily News. The film's cast is yet to be named and a 'high-profile' hunk has been chosen to play the lead role. However, it looks like it will be difficult for Weisz to cope with more projects, since she already has a packed shooting schedule.
What were these guys thinking?
Forget the Oscars, the Grammys, the Emmys and the Pulitzer Prize competitions. The winner of this year's Hugh Grant "What the Heck Were You Thinking?" Award is going to be the most competitive and interesting awards race of the year, especially in the sports category. OK, so there's not really an award for truly bad decision-making named in honor of the actor who decided to cheat on then-girlfriend Elizabeth Hurley (first big mistake in judgment) by having an encounter with a Hollywood prostitute (second big mistake in judgment) back in the mid-1990s. But there should be such an award. At the rate things are going in recent days alone, just trimming the field to a list of nominees would be strong competition in itself.
