Welcome to Malin-Akerman.org, the first and the largest resource for Swedish born actress Malin Akerman. News, media, photos, information and more about the stunningly beautiful rising star of Watchmen, The Proposal, 27 Dresses and Heartbreak Kid.
Kristen Bell, Kristin Davis and Malin Akerman are signing up for Couples Retreat, a Jon Favreau-scripted and Peter Billingsley-directed comedy for Universal.
The story revolves around four couples who go to a tropical island resort, with one couple working on their marriage and the others sucked into the resort’s couples therapy. Vince Vaughn, Jon Favreau, Jason Bateman and Faizon Love are the men.
Bell is playing Bateman’s wife, Davis plays Favreau’s wife, and Akerman plays Vaughn’s.
Scott Stuber is producing.
The movie will shoot in Bora Bora and Los Angeles.
Bell, repped by CAA and Brookside Artists Management, toplines Disney’s romantic comedy When in Rome and is doing voice work for Astroboy. She continues to recur on NBC’s Heroes.
Davis, repped by WMA and Mosaic Media, is coming off of the Sex and the City movie, which grossed $408 million worldwide.
Akerman, repped by Endeavor and Sanders Armstrong Caserta Management, next appears in Watchmen, the adaptation of the Alan Moore-Dave Gibbons graphic novel. She also will appear in The Proposal with Sandra Bullock and Ryan Reynolds.
Carla Gugino and Malin Akerman, who play mother-and-daughter superheroes in Zack Snyder’s Watchmen movie, told SCI FI Wire that they hung out off screen to work out the dynamics of their on-screen relationship–which was especially important, since the two actors’ ages are really only a few years apart.
“We probably had about three weeks to sort of just hang out together and get to know each other, and we definitely just got along right away,” Akerman said in a group interview at Comic-Con International in San Diego last weekend. “Like [Gugino] said, we have a lot of similarities in our lives and in our families that sort of brought us even closer. So we could relate these characters to things that have happened in our lives and sharing those with each other so that we knew when we were doing our scenes where that was coming from.”
The Neutrogena(R) Partnership for Skin Health, a public service initiative that partners with organizations and individuals to educate, promote advancements and explore solutions for skin health, has tapped actress Malin Akerman to educate consumers in a viral video about self-examination for skin cancer detection. As the #1 dermatologist recommended skincare brand and the leader in sun protection technology, Neutrogena(R) is committed to educating and empowering individuals about the importance of self-examinations to detect skin cancer in its earliest and most treatable stage.
The viral video, starring Akerman, shows a couple performing skin self checks to demonstrate how easy it is to engage with a loved one for early detection of skin cancer. The goal of the video is to empower consumers to take control of their health and encourage both men and women to check
themselves for skin cancer.
“The viral video shows how skin examinations can be fun, while communicating the seriousness of the skin cancer message,” said Jim Colleran, President, Neutrogena(R) Corporation. “This video is meant to create buzz, spark conversation and serve as a ‘wake-up call’ to consumers about the importance of self-examination in detecting skin cancer.”
“This video and message is something I have a passion for because I understand the importance of checking your skin for suspicious moles,” says Malin Akerman. “I recently had a suspicious mole removed from my face; I noticed it was changing shape and asked my dermatologist to examine it. I was one of the luckier ones because it wasn’t cancerous.”
