Entertainment Weekly’s August 29th issue, the fall movie preview (with Harry Potter on the cover) has debuted a new still from Doubt with Amy and Miss Meryl. I think it’s really intriguing and I really love the lighting captured on the ladies faces! In the article it says that advance buzz see’s Viola Davis and Streep geting Oscar nods for the film. I’m confident Amy will also be getting more buzz worthy notice later this year when the film is released on December 12, 2008. But as always, heres to hoping!

Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day will finally open in UK cinemas tomorrow, August 15, 2008. As we’ve previously reported, it will also be available on R1 DVD in North America on August 19, 2008. Screencaptures will be up on the site in the near future.

I recently had the pleasure of seeing the film – it has been playing in Finland for several weeks now – and I really adored it. I would warmly recommend for all of Amy’s fans to check out this fun little film.

Maintaining leading-lady status in Hollywood requires more than starring roles. The resumes of Tinseltown’s A-list actresses feature offerings from movie and television work to endorsement and fashion deals. Along with the host of gigs come blockbuster paychecks. Proof: Hollywood’s 10 top-earning–and ever-active–actresses collectively banked $244.5 million between June 1, 2007 and June 1, 2008.

Christopher Guest is taking it up to 11 for Fox’s sequel to Night at the Museum.

The Spinal Tap star has joined the cast as Ivan the Terrible for the comedy adventure, officially titled Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian.

Also joining the cast are Jon Bernthal (Al Capone), Bill Hader (Gen. George Armstrong Custer) and French actor Alain Chabat (Napoleon).

The film, directed by Shawn Levy, reunites lead Ben Stiller with castmates Robin Williams, Ricky Gervais and Owen Wilson.

Robert Ben Garant and Thomas Lennon, who penned both Museum films, will make a cameo in the sequel, playing the Wright brothers.

Disney’s Enchanted was the dominant film player Tuesday night at the Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy & Horror’s 34th annual Saturn Awards, held at the Universal Hilton Hotel in Universal City.

The modern-day fairytale took home three awards: best fantasy film, best actress, which went to its star Amy Adams, and best music, which went to composer Alan Menken.

Congratulations to Amy and the Enchanted team for the well deserved recognition!
