Mila Kunis has placed #9 on FHM’s 100 Sexiest Women In The World list for 2012!

2012 POSITION: 09
2011 POSITION: 16

WINNER OF THE SEXY OSCAR
If you are in any way troubled by Miss Kunis’s elevated position this year, allow us to refer you to the loopy film Black Swan, in which she diddles Natalie Portman into delirium. Watch it, then come back and we’ll talk.

Kunis is sensationally hot, sensationally funny (she’s the voice of Meg in Family Guy), harder than us (she’s trained in guns, boxing and martial arts), the flawless face of Christian Dior and more than happy to date normal blokes – she enjoyed a night out with a marine last year, after he propositioned her via YouTube. If she didn’t exist, we’d have to invent her.

After filmmakers Andy and Lana Wachowski tackle the ambitious task of turning “Cloud Atlas” — a hulking novel taking place in six separate time periods from the 19th century to a post-apocalyptic, virtually-technology free future — into a feature film, the siblings will direct “Jupiter Ascending.” While all involved are tight-lipped on the sci-fi flick’s plot, we learned back in March that Warner Bros., the studio behind the project, offered lead roles to Channing Tatum and Mila Kunis.

On Tuesday evening (April 24) at CinemaCon, Kunis herself confirmed that she’ll star in the film, exclusively giving MTV News’ Josh Horowitz the scoop. Before he could even finish his question regarding whether the rumors are true and whether she’s read a script, Kunis nodded her head and blurted out, “Yes.”

“I love them!” she said about the Wachowskis.

When Horowitz joked, “Thanks for spilling all the beans on that one,” Kunis laughed and responded, “Listen, I told you I’m doing it. That’s the most I’ve told anybody.”

When Deadline Hollywood first broke the news of the film, they described it as the Wachowskis’ “first major science fiction action franchise play since ‘The Matrix,’ ” which hopefully means audiences will be treated to a series of movies.

While 2012 seems to be the year of Channing Tatum, with hits like “The Vow,” “21 Jump Street” and the upcoming summer films “Magic Mike” and “G.I. Joe: Retaliation,” Kunis also has a full cinematic plate. She stars in the raunchy comedy “Ted” and the “Wizard of Oz” prequel “Oz: The Great and Powerful,” which stars James Franco, Michelle Williams and Rachel Weisz.

“Jupiter Ascending” is set to hit theaters in 2014.

According to CinemaBlend.com, Mila Kunis has been approached to star in the upcoming film “Jupiter Ascending”.

Directing duo Andy and Lana Wachowski have just completed production on their much buzzed-about ensemble mystery Cloud Atlas, and already they’ve begun the casting process for their next feature, Jupiter Ascending. According to Deadline, Warner Brothers has approached Channing Tatum and Mila Kunis to lead the film, a sci-fi epic that’s story is being closely guarded at this stage.

But while we sadly know no plot details, we can extrapolate that Tatum, with two of 2012′s noteworthy box offices successes (The Vow and 21 Jump Street) under his belt, will be pulling down a major check from WB should he sign on. He’s proven his bankability with audiences and his charisma to critics, so he’d be a major get for Jupiter. As for Kunis, it’d be fascinating to see the talented actress, who has displayed her talents in dramas and comedies alike, tackle a genre picture. Plus, the pairing of these incredibly beautiful people is sure to prove explosive onscreen.

Curiously, Deadline mentions in passing how last spring the Wachowski siblings went in search of financiers to fund a hard R-rated drama about the complicated relationship between a gay U.S. soldier and an Iraqi. The pair had hoped to helm the piece, but have made no progress finding funding, probably because of the script’s taboo subject matter. Is it possible that these intrepid filmmakers are returning to the kind of sweeping sci-fi that made them famous with The Matrix in hopes of ultimately directing a drama far afield from their established forte and far too controversial for a studio to back? I do wonder.


Posted by Jennifer on 21 March 2012 | Filed under News, Oz the Great and Powerful | 1 Comment

In a recent interview with MTV News, Rachel Weisz spilled some new secrets about the three witches in the upcoming film “Oz: The Great and Powerful”.

Raimi’s take on the world of the Wizard of Oz remains a big mystery, since we haven’t heard or seen much from the set, but Weisz was able to confirm that the new movie will go back to the source material, instead of building on the famous film.

“It’s absolutely separate from the classic film. Frank L. Baum wrote ten or so volumes of the whole mythology of the Emerald City, Oz, et cetera, so this is the story of how the wizard got there. So it’s pre-Dorothy,” Weisz said. “It’s really nothing to do with ‘The Wizard of Oz’ in a sense. It’s much, much earlier.”

Weisz explained that “Oz: The Great and Powerful” takes more of the origin story approach to the classic tales. “It’s how the wizard, James Franco, ended up in the Emerald City,” Weisz said. “In the Emerald City, there live three witches: Glinda—Michelle Williams—who is the good witch, Theodora—Mila Kunis—and myself are sisters. I’m a big sister, and we both are more on the dark side.”

But what’s an evil witch without some special powers? Weisz confirmed hers for the movie. “Well, I have a magic power, which is lightning,” she said. “That was the key.”


Posted by Jennifer on 15 March 2012 | Filed under Blood Ties, News | 1 Comment

Its being reported from THR that Mila Kunis has joined the film “Blood Ties”, which is a crime thriller set during the 1970s being directed by Guillaume Canet.

CAA, which is packaging the project and handling North American distribution rights, is in negotiations with several potential U.S. equity partners. Former Paramount executive John Lesher is one of the producers.

An adaptation of a French novel titled Les liens du sang, the story centers on a younger brother (Crudup) who has to ask his convict older brother (Owen) to go back into the underworld to help out the family. Kunis and Cotillard play love interests.

Canet wrote the screenplay with James Gray, who is no stranger to crime and brotherhood, having explored that territory with his 2008 film We Own the Night. Canet is a French actor-turned-director behind films like the 2006 murder mystery Tell No One (Ne le dis a personne), a French hit whose remake rights were picked up by Universal.

If the finanacing comes together, the movie will head for an April start in New York. The project previously had Mark Wahlberg in the lead.


Posted by Jennifer on 2 March 2012 | Filed under Hell & Back, News | Leave a Comment

Mila Kunis has been set to star in Hell & Back alongside Nick Swardson, TJ Miller, Rob Riggle, Brian Posehn and Kumail Najiani. The R-rated stop-motion animated comedy follows two best friends (Swardson and Miller) as they rescue a buddy who’s been dragged to hell by accident. ShadowMachine’s Corey Campodonico, Eric Blyler and Alex Bulkley are producing and Tommy Gianas is directing with Ross Shuman. Script revisions are being made by Hugh Sterbakov.

Kunis is a female demon whose ability to navigate the underworld makes her the toughest rogue demon in Hell. Her independent streak comes from the fact she’s half human. She was sired by the Orpheus of myth when he traveled down the River Styx, nailing everything in sight. Kunis wrapped Oz: The Great and Powerful for Disney and the Seth MacFarlane-directed TED for Universal. She’s repped by CAA and Curtis Talent Management.

Posted by Jennifer on 15 February 2012 | Filed under News, The Butler | 3 Comments

According to Collider.com, Mila Kunis has been approached to play Jackie Kennedy in a film called “The Butler”.

Although her last live-action role was in 1998’s Beloved, Oprah Winfrey is considering a return to the big screen. The project that caught her discerning eye was the story of Eugene Allen, a black man who served under eight U.S. Presidents from 1952 to 1986 as the White House butler. From Precious director, Lee Daniels, comes The Butler, the story of Allen’s service in the White House through such pivotal moments in history as the Vietnam War, the civil rights movement and the assassinations of Martin Luther King Jr., John F. Kennedy and Robert Kennedy. Daniels is reportedly interested in David Oyelowo (Red Tails) to play Allen; Winfrey would play his wife. It’s also being reported that Mila Kunis (Black Swan) and John Cusack (High Fidelity) have been approached to play Jackie Kennedy and Richard Nixon, respectively.
