- When I saw this bit of news that Orlando Bloom and Liam Neeson would be starring in Fools Rush In I thought surely hell had frozen over. Could Hollywood possibly have gotten to the point where they were remaking the oeuvre of Matthew Perry? I’ll concede that Bloom has about as much appeal as Perry (read: little), I just couldn’t see Neeson filling the ample bosom ermm role of Salma Hayek – no offense to the Irish giant. All kidding aside the polar opposite talents have been cast in the adaptation of Bill Carter's autobiographical novel Fools Rush In. No doubt a name change is in the cards. Carter’s tome recounts his experiences working as an aid worker in Sarajevo during the Balkan War in 1992. In his determination to help the Bosnian Serbs, who eventually lost some 10,000 citizens (including 2,000 children) to the siege, he famously brought mega-band

TORONTO -- Sony Pictures Classics snapped up Brazilian drama The House of Sand on Wednesday, and Rogue Pictures, the Focus Features genre label, said it finalized its acquisition of Dave Chappelle's Block Party as the dealmaking continued at the Toronto International Film Festival. SPC bought North American rights to Sand from Brazil's Conspiracao Filmes, paying low six figures for the film, which chronicles three generations of women (played by Fernanda Montenegro) and her daughter (Fernanda Torres) living in a destitute desert town. In a case of art further imitating life, the film is directed by Torres' husband, Andrucha Waddington (Me, You, Them). "It's very much a family affair; Fernanda introduced me to her son-in-law and daughter," said SPC co-president Michael Barker, whose company has released Montenegro and Waddington's most notable films, including Central Station, which featured Montenegro's Oscar-nominated performance.
