Welcome to Malin-Akerman.org, the first and the best resource for Swedish born actress Malin Akerman. This site has all the late breaking news, media, magazine scans, photos, information and more about the stunningly beautiful rising star of Watchmen, The Proposal, 27 Dresses and Heartbreak Kid. Come back often!
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.
Malin has been out and about a lot recently and, unfortunately, I am a little bit behind on adding images from all of her recent events. But today I added a bunch of photos from the HBO Luxury Lounge In Honor of 60th Annual Primetime Emmy Awards and HBO’s Emmy Awards After Party. Malin looked really beautiful at both events, don’t you think!
Hundreds of new Malin Akerman images have been added. Since May, Malin was busy attending several events but I didn’t have time to add these, I’ve finally caught up on all of those as well as added some new scans; Set’s September cover issue & Entertainment Weekly’s July 25th Watchmen cover. I even spotted a gorgeous new shoot while saving pics. Enjoy the eye-candy-a-plenty!
Watchmen could find itself in court before it arrives at the multiplex.
Warner Bros. is scheduled to release Zack Snyder’s big-screen adaptation of the Alan Moore/Dave Gibbons comics series on March 6, but a federal judge in Los Angeles complicated that plan Wednesday when he refused to dismiss a lawsuit filed by 20th Century Fox against Warners over rights to the property.
Judge Gary Allen Fees ruled that Fox has established enough evidence to support its claims that it holds the distribution rights to the film version of the 1980s graphic novel about damaged superheroes.
Asserting what it calls its “long-standing motion picture rights” to Watchmen, Fox said Monday that it will ask the court to “enjoin the release of the Warner Brothers film and any related Watchmen media that violate our copyright interests in that property.”
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.”
Check out these 7 new character posters for Watchmen. They debuted at Comic-Con 2008. I’ve also added a few pictures of Malin from the event, and you can stream a video interview here and here and check a picture of the cast posing for the new Entertainment Weekly. Enjoy the Watchmen update!
The a-m-a-z-i-n-g first trailer for Watchmen has been released and can be viewed in high definition over at Apple. In fact, it is a must see for all the fans! Malin looks breathtaking!
