Red Dawn has a(nother) new release date! BoxOfficeMojo.com report that the film will hit cinemas on November 2nd 2012. The film was shot in 2009 and has gone through several changes throughout those years. We’ll keep you updated…
BYRON Bay may be in the process of being overrun by over-excited school leavers, but that didn’t stop Isabel Lucas and musician boyfriend Angus Stone enjoying a relaxing stroll through the centre of town.
The hippie couple stood out like sore thumbs among the schoolies, and were captured enjoying some Cold Rock ice cream.
Super-slender actress-activist Lucas carried a laptop case.
The bohemian pair has been inseparable since Lucas returned from a three-year stint in Los Angeles, recently releasing a film clip together for the Protect Our Coral Sea initiative.
Stone, half of the hit Sydney sibling duo with sister Julia Stone, is due to head to Bali in January with his sister to film a video for their next single.
Lucas is starring in new hit US movie Immortals, is likely to accompany her man for the trip.
I’ve added screencaps from another 2 episodes of Home & Away today, although they’re not the most cheerful episodes! In #4217, Tasha is in a panic because she thinks she’s going to give birth early while Robbie is still missing after the plane crash, and Jack is the only one who can calm her down. And in #4257, Tasha does give birth, but she finds it hard to connect with her new baby. So there are lots of caps of Tash screaming and squirming! These were the last 2 episodes I had saved on my computer, so I will start searching for more (including some more upbeat episodes!) to cap for you soon.
As well as the caps, you can also watch episode #4257 further down this post, thanks to some wonderful YouTube users!

I’ve now added another 30 photos from last weeks Immortals World Premiere After Party. Izzy was snapped having a chat with Freida Pinto, and posing for pics with Freida, Henry Cavill, co-star Joseph Morgan, and producer Mark Canton.
There will be lots more photos from the premiere itself added in the next day or so – I just need to sort through them all, as there are so many!
Speaking of Immortals, I finally got see it yesterday, and it did not disappoint! The direction and visuals were stunning (as were the beautiful cast), and it was action packed and intense. Isabel was perfectly cast as Athena, with her calm voice and otherworldly manner. I loved seeing her on the big screen, and the shot where the camera panned round her face close-up was stunning. She didn’t have much screen time, unfortunately, and I did wish the Gods were featured more. I’d definitely recommend the movie – even if you’re not usually a fan of the genre!

In Relativity Media’s biggest win to date, the 3D action-epic Immortals topped the domestic box office with a $32 million opening, while grossing another $36 million overseas–where Relativity sold off foreign rights–for an estimated worldwide bow of $68 million.
Elsewhere, Adam Sandler’s family comedy Jack and Jill launched to $26 million, while DreamWorks Animation and Paramount’s holdover Puss in Boots folllowed closely with $25.5 million. Box office observers say the final lineup between the two won’t be determined until Monday morning.
Jack and Jill, headlining Sandler both in the role of a brother and his twin sister, saw lower opening numbers than usual for the actor, but Sony expects the movie to have strong legs through Thanksgiving. Also starring Al Pacino and Katie Holmes, Jack and Jill came in slightly behind the $27.5 million earned by Sandler’s most recent PG film, Bedtime Stories. Most of Sandler’s films are rated PG-13, and open north of $30 million.
Jack and Jill opened to a notable $2.5 million in Mexico–the largest opening ever for a Sandler pic.
DreamWorks Animation and Paramount’s Puss in Boots remained a worthy opponent in its third weekend, dropping only 23 percent and finishing the frame with a domestic cume of $108.8 million. It was the second Paramount title of the weekend to jump the $100 million mark, with Paranormal Activity 3 being the other (that’s pics domestic cume through Sunday is $100.8 million).
With all the excitement and promotion for Immortals (sadly) dying down now that the film has been released, I thought I’d go back to the beginning and make some more Home & Away screencaps. So today I have added caps from 3 more episodes. In episode #4115, Tash’s best friend Martha pretends to join The Believers cult, in an effort to find out more about them, but she doesn’t know what Mumma Rose has planned for Tasha later that day. In episode #3911, Tasha’s Aunt Josie is getting married, but Tash can’t keep Josie’s unfaithful secret anymore. And the final episode I capped today is #3939 which is very Tasha-centric – Tash wins the Miss Groper beauty contest on her last day in the Bay … her friends and family try to ask her if leaving is really what she wants, but she insists it is, until her boyfriend Robbie steps up and apologises for hurting her.
Some of the caps are not very good quality, but as I always say, we’re really lucky to be able to get any Home & Away episodes online, so I hope you’ll enjoy them none-the-less! More caps and content updates coming soon.

Adam Sandler’s new family comedy “Jack and Jill” is in a tight race for No. 2 with holdover “Puss in Boots”; Clint Eastwood’s “J. Edgar,” starring Leonardo DiCaprio, buoyed by older adults.
Relativity Media’s R-rated action-epic Immortals, headlining Henry Cavill, topped the Friday box office with a better-than-expected $15 million for a projected weekend opening of $35 million.
Tracking had suggested a $25 million to $26 million opening weekend for Immortals, but the film is overperforming on the strength of fanboys. Males made up 60 percent of the audience, with more than 70 percent of those buying tickets under the age of 35.
Sony’s new Adam Sandler Thanksgiving comedy came in No. 2 on Friday with an estimated gross of $9.9 million, followed closely by Dreamworks Animation and Paramount’s holdover Puss in Boots. The two family films — both rated PG — now find themselves in a horse race, both projecting a weekend gross of $25 million to $26 million.
Another batch of stills of Isabel as Athena in Immortals were posted online in the last few days, and I’ve added them to our Gallery. A couple of them feature a ‘camouflaged’ Athena – it doesn’t look much like Isabel, but MultiVision Films’ Facebook says it really is her! I wonder what happened to Athena in this scene…
Now that Immortals promotion will be dying down, I’ll go back to adding some new-old things to the site – look out for Home & Away and A Heartbeat Away screencaptures to be added here this week!

Being back in the spotlight with Immortals, Isabel has been snapped out and about running errands in the last few days. On November 9th she was seen doing some grocery shopping at Gelson’s Supermarket in LA, looking cute and casual in a big jumper and denim shorts. And yesterday she and her mum were busy running errands and preparing for Isabel’s move back to Australia. The duo did their good deed for the day by dropping some things off at a donation center, as well as picking up a suitcase, having lunch, and sorting out her phone. Isabel looked super pretty in a black and white polka dot jumper and jeans.
I love these outfits, and I’m sure you are just as happy as I am to be seeing new candids of Isabel!
Photos from both sightings are in our Gallery:

Instead of posting several articles about Immortals that weren’t directly about Isabel, I thought I’d round them up into one post and give you the links:
- The Hollywood Reporter has an interesting round-up of various Immortals reviews. Only one of them is very positive. If you’re interested in reading more Immortals reviews, then head on over to Google/Google News to do a search. I’ll add any specific mentions of Isabel in any reviews to our Filmography page in the coming days.
- MetroNews.ca have posted a short but interesting interview with director Tarsem Singh, who explains (again) why he chose young actors to portray the gods, and how Greek mythology is like a soap opera. There’s no mention of Isabel, but I was interested to read his answers to these questions, so thought I’d share with you.
- IAmRogue.com (whose parent company is the studio producing Immortals – RelativityMedia) have posted an extensive round-up from a recent Immortals press conference/event. It features quotes from all the cast, and is a great read. There is a short bit from Isabel, who says:
“Yeah, I think that training was pretty intensive,” agreed Isabel Lucas, who, as Athena, participates in a show-stopping action sequence. “But Tarsem will tell you that it wasn’t all me. I did learn the whole choreographed fight sequence, but we did have a stunt double and she was incredible. It was all martial arts and fighting. It was actually quite difficult in that tight costume. While the costumes were amazing and helped one really embody the character, it was also limiting physically, restrictive.”
This quote and other relevant bits will again be added to our Filmog page soon.
