Today we’re going back to November 16th 1999 for the 6th Annual Women in Hollywood Awards Luncheon, which was held at the Four Seasons Hotel in Los Angeles. I’ve added 45 ‘new’ pics of Kirsten at the event to the gallery & also replaced three of the existing pics with bigger versions.
Jesse Plemons is set to co-star opposite Benedict Cumberbatch and Kirsten Dunst in Jane Campion’s “The Power of the Dog.”
Plemons is replacing Paul Dano, who was forced to drop out of the movie due to scheduling conflicts with “The Batman,” for which Dano was recently tapped to play the Riddler. Sources say Netflix and Dano’s team tried to work it out but in the end, the scheduling issues were too difficult to overcome.
Netflix acquired the pic this summer from See-Saw Films’ in-house sales arm, Cross City Films. Variety first reported on the project in May and Cross City Films launched sales at the Cannes Film Festival.
Netflix will release the movie in 2021 on the streaming platform and in theaters. Transmission Films will be releasing it theatrically in Australia and New Zealand. The deal excludes United Kingdom TV rights, which are retained by BBC Films.
Campion directed the movie, adapted from the 1967 Thomas Savage novel of the same name. It follows two wealthy brothers who are polar opposites. Plemons portrays a man who is fastidious and gentle, while his brother, played by Cumberbatch, is brilliant and cruel. They are joint owners of the biggest ranch in the Montana valley. When Plemons’ character secretly marries a local widow (Dunst), Cumberbatch wages a sadistic, relentless war to destroy her by using her son.
See-Saw Films and Big Shell Films/Max Films Production are producing the movie in association with Brightstar and BBC Films. The project has been developed with BBC Films, which is also backing production. See-Saw Films’ Emile Sherman and Iain Canning are also producing alongside Max Films’ Roger Frappier, Big Shell’s Campion and Brightstar’s Tanya Seghatchian. BBC Films’ Rose Garnett, See-Saw’s Simon Gillis and Brightstar’s John Woodward are executive producing.
Plemons was most recently seen reprising his role of Todd in the Netflix film “El Camino: A Breaking Bad Movie,” as well as another Netflix feature, “The Irishman.” He’ll stay busy in 2020, starting with Scott Cooper’s horror movie “Antlers,” Disney’s “The Jungle Cruise” and Charlie Kaufman’s “I’m Thinking of Ending Things.” He is repped by TalentWorks.

Exciting news. So this is the role Jesse was talking about recently when he said he might possibly be working with Kirsten again.
Last Saturday (November 9th) Kirsten & her friend Laura Mulleavy attended the Baby2Baby Gala at 3Labs in Culver City. I’ve added 40 pics to the gallery.
I’ve added to the gallery pics of Kirsten in Los Angeles yesterday.
Hi everyone. We need your help! As you probably know this website is part of the fancarpet network of fansites. Unfortunately the fancarpet urgently needs to raise funds to continue to operate. Marc & Jess have today set up a crowdfunding appeal to raise the £1500 required, & (as I type this) have so far raised £500 of that amount.
You can read further details regarding the crowdfunding appeal at the fancarpet website, and if you are able to help you can donate here.
I’ll just add that I was only made aware of the financial situation today. It’s largely been brought about by the issues we had over the summer with our former hosting provider (the fancarpet was basically held to ransom by them & ended up paying two hosts at the same time for several months). Going forward I’m intending to get involved in the financial running of things to try and ensure nothing like this happens again.
Anyway thanks for reading, & please donate if you can.
Here’s a nice video of Kirsten presenting Kate & Laura Mulleavy with the ‘Designer of the Year’ award at the Instyle Awards.
According to unconfirmed reports ‘The Power of the Dog’ will go into production in New Zealand early next year. The film will star Benedict Cumberbatch, Kirsten Dunst & Paul Dano, & will be directed by Jane Campion. Filming is expected to take place in Queenstown & Auckland in January & February 2020.
In other news Kirsten’s fiancee Jesse Plemons gave this reply when asked if he’d like to work with Kirsten again – “I don’t think I can say anything yet, but we might be soon. It’s just a scheduling thing, but I’d love to. And the writers for ‘On Becoming a God in Central Florida’ keep trying to find some part for me to play. But yeah, she’s my favorite. She’s been doing incredible work for a long time, and I just love her in that show”.
On October 7th the Premiere of ‘El Camino: A Breaking Bad Movie’ was held at the Regency Village Theatre in Los Angeles. Jesse, who recreates his role as Todd Alquist in the film, attended the premiere & Kirsten accompanied him. I’ve added 80 fabulous pics to the gallery.
Last night Kirsten attended the 5th Annual InStyle Awards at the Getty Center in Los Angeles. Kirsten looked lovely in a multi-coloured Rodarte gown, & she presented the ‘Designer of the Year’ award to her good friends Kate & Laura Mulleavy (of Rodarte).
I’ve added 20 pics to the gallery. More pics tomorrow!
On September 27th The World Premiere of ‘The Irishman’ was held at Alice Tully Hall in New York. Jesse has a role in the film & Kirsten attended the premiere with him. I’ve added 80 pics of Kirsten & Jesse at the premiere to the gallery & also added pics of them at two premiere after parties.
