More informations about “The Reader”

I just read a German article which explains that there hasn’t been a statement yet — neither one which tells that she takes the role nor one which tells she takes it not. They say it’s going to be official in the end of January, so we don’t have to wait that long until everything is cleared up.By the way, first shooting dates for Kate (if she takes the role) are going to be in early March in Görlitz and in the middle of March in Bonn.I translated it and I hope it’s not too germanized and you are able to understand it. Of course it’s not a word to word translation but the meaning is still the same. ;)Speculations which said that the British actress Kate Winslet should play the character of Hanna Schmitz have neither been confirmed nor have been denied yet.
It’s only becoming more excited if the new leading role is casted certainly and if she’s most likely going to come to the set in March to Görlitz. Until now there aren’t any concrete dates, confesses Bensch. He expects that the fact who will be the film partner of the German young actor David Kross is going to be decided until the end of January.

“Titanic” Hug Voted Movie Favorite

Actors Kate Winslet and Leonardo DiCaprio’s embrace as the ill-fated Titanic struck an iceberg has been voted the Best Movie Hug Ever.
The desperate clinch shared by the doomed lovers in the 1997 blockbuster narrowly beat the final hug shared by Baby and Johnny in 1987’s Dirty Dancing as well as Elliot’s tight grasp on the incubator holding his extra-terrestrial friend in the 1982 movie E.T.
Bridget Jones’ Diary was voted fourth place for Bridget and Mark Darcy’s squeeze in the snow, with ex-convicts Andy and Red’s hug in the final scene of The Shawshank Redemption rounding out the top five.

Books That Made a Difference to Kate Winslet

The five-time Oscar nominee wants to thank the old boyfriend who gave her a fascinating French novel of over-the-top amour-and a shot of intellectual confidence; the cookbook/storybook that turned her on to Italian cooking; and the haunting modern classic by Richard Yates that inspired her next film.An ex-boyfriend and I used to go to breakfast every Sunday in London at a funny old café near Earl’s Court. Afterward we’d go into this enormous bookstore, and we’d have to buy the other person a book. It was a really nice thing to do. I think sometimes when you’re young, and even when you’re older, purchasing a book for yourself or anyone else can be terrifying. I left school when I was 16, and I always felt – actually still do in some ways – intellectually insecure.He was 11 years older, this boyfriend, and this was his way of letting me know that it was perfectly okay to have an opinion, of helping me overcome my own insecurities – which is pretty spectacular. One day he picked up a copy of Thérèse Raquin, and I thought, You’ve got to be kidding me. But he said, “This is one of the most extraordinary love stories ever written.” And that book, which is one of the five that changed my life, has never left me.
