Monaghan's 'Mission' is to attract Cruise

Source: The Hollywood Reporter

Michelle Monaghan is the first of the new cast to sign on to Paramount Pictures and C/W Prods.' "Mission: Impossible 3."

Scarlett Johansson, Carrie-Anne Moss and Kenneth Branagh had been cast in the Tom Cruise vehicle, but the project's numerous delays led to them dropping out. Ving Rhames, who appeared in the previous "Mission: Impossible" films, remains in the cast.

Details of the plot are being kept under wraps, though Monaghan has been confirmed as Cruise's love interest.

J.J. Abrams is directing from a script by Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci.

Monaghan, repped by Endeavor, appears in the upcoming features "Syriana" and the untitled Niki Caro project as well as in "Mr. and Mrs. Smith." She is one of the stars of Shane Black's "Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang."

More Set To Join The Third "Mission"

Source: DarkHorizons.com

Katie Holmes drew a lot of attention yesterday in regards to talk that she would potentially star with her current beau Tom Cruise in the third "Mission: Impossible."

Now, famed columnist Liz Smith has come up with another name - "forget Lindsay Lohan, Scarlett Johansson -- and even Katie Holmes. Tom's "Mission Impossible III" co-star will be Michelle Monaghan. Filming starts in Italy, July 18th". A former "Boston Public" star, Monaghan has appeared in such films as "The Bourne Supremacy", "It Runs in the Family", "Kiss, Kiss, Bang, Bang" and the upcoming "Syriana" and "Mr. & Mrs. Smith".

Meanwhile, Irish interview program The Late Late Show on RTE had English spunk Jonathan Rhys-Meyers on who apparently said he's going to be in "Mission Impossible 3" with Cruise.

Rhys-Meyers shot to fame with an acclaimed performance in "Velvet Goldmine" and has a bit of a renaissance of late with starring turns in "Vanity Fair", "Alexander" and most recently played Elvis Presley in the much talked about mini-series.

GOOD NEWS guys! Michelle is part of a new movie and the shooting is set to start in Caserta, Italy on July 18th. Wanna know which movie I'm talking about? MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE 3!!!

Yeah, that's right. A reliable source told me this some time ago but there's not need to hide it anymore since we know it should be confirmed this week, just like Annie posted at TomCruiseFan.com. Tom Cruise and Ving Rhames are still part of the cast but it seems like Scarlett Johansson and Carrie Ann Moss won't come back to the project. Apparently Keri Russell and Lindsay Lohan won't be in the movie either although their names were mentioned in the past.

Michelle, if you read this (and I know you do) CONGRATULATIONS. You worth it, girl! My work hasn't ended here. It just started. GOOD LUCK!

SCREEN DAILY STORIES - KISS, KISS, BANG, BANG

Source: ScreenDaily.com

Harmony’s attempts to unravel the fate of her missing kid sister intersect with the murder mystery that Perry and Harry are trying to solve. One of this year’s next big things, Monaghan will also be seen alongside Charlize Theron and Sissy Spacek in another Warner project, Kiwi director Niki Caro’s upcoming sexual harrassment drama, provisionally titled Class Action. On the evidence of Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, the former TV star can certainly hold down a comic-romantic lead, and the mixture of fatale and spoof in her performance suggest that she could stray with equal ease into David Lynch or Woody Allen territory.

OUT OF COMPETITION: "KISS KISS, BANG, BANG" BY SHANE BLACK

Source: Cannes Film Festival

This is Shane Black's first directorial endeavor and first visit to Cannes. Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang, being presented in the Official Selection out of competition, is the much awaited crime-comedy by the screenwriter of such memorable action films as Lethal Weapon, The Last Boy Scout and The Long Kiss Goodnight. Set in Los Angeles, it follows a fugitive thief (Robert Downey Jr.) who is pretending to be an actor, a cynical and hard-boiled private investigator (Val Kilmer), and an actress who is trying to make it as a star (Michelle Monaghan), who accidentally find themselves involved in a bizarre murder scheme.

With its combination of offbeat jokes and criminal intrigue, this film is, in the honest words of its director, "a direct homage to detective stories" which he adored in childhood. "There have been very few contemporary interpretations of the great L.A. private eye tradition; what I strived for was a movie that walks the line between something that takes itself seriously enough to be suspenseful but is playful enough to be entertaining and fresh."

PRESS CONFERENCE: KISS KISS, BANG BANG

Source: Cannes Film Festival

Screening out of competition at midnight this evening, the Official Selection film Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang was presented to the press this afternoon. In attendance at the press conference was director Shane Black, producer Joel Silver, along with actors Robert Downey Jr., Val Kilmer and Michelle Monaghan. Excerpts:

Shane Black on the screenplay and interpretations by Kilmer and Downey: “I think these guys were smart enough to stick to a blueprint. It's like monkey bars, they're very rigid, but actually within them there's a lot of space to move around. You can manoeuvre yourself within. But we were all serving the master and the master was the movie I had brought to them. And I said, ‘help me make a film that produces this end result'. It was a team effort pretty much directed towards the exact same end goal with laser like precision.”

Michelle Monaghan on the script: “He wrote a very exciting script for any actor. I think it is important to say that Shane trusted us totally. He gave us amazing dialogue and within that we were able to have so much fun with it.”

Robert Downey Jr on the script: In a movie like this when the script is strong, you have to potentially crank it up even more because you don't want to rest on your laurels.”

Joel Silver on why it is important to bring the film to Cannes: “The Cannes Festival that revels in the magic of movies is the wonder of moviemaking and that's the really important aspect of our picture. It has a lot of references and deals with the L.A. genre detective, kind of film noir and we thought people would really respond to it at the Cannes Festival, that it could provide it with the buzz and excitement the movie needs and so far it has worked that way. We want to release the movie sometime in the fall, but this is the first time we have showed the movie to anybody. All movies are a gamble, but we just thought that we had something here.”

Shane Black on the origin of the title: “ ‘Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang' was first coined by the Japanese press at the height of Bond mania in the 60s and I had always thought Ian Fleming had written ‘Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang' as one of the chapter titles in his book or something, because it sounded so much like Fleming, but it wasn't. It was just this phrase that came out of Tokyo. I liked it so much because it so clearly represented what this film is.”

Shane Black on Raymond Chandler: “I had a love affair with Chandler, I've had a love affair with Los Angeles. Chandler manages somehow to distil an amazingly bittersweet, melancholy, romantic sense to Los Angeles.
