From The Star U.K. which is arguably even more disreputable than its celestial cousin The Sun U.K.

BRAD PITT AND ANGELINA JOLIE PLAN A UK WEDDING

25th June 2012

By Jessica Brown with Sonja Stephen

HOLLYWOOD faves Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie insist they have “no date” to tie the knot.

But we can reveal the pair are secretly planning to get hitched in the UK, followed by a lavish bash in France.

An insider told us: “They’ve always planned to have the official part secretly with just their kids and family.

“They’re looking at Windsor register office, where Charles and Camilla and Elton John and David Furnish tied the knot.

“It allows same-sex marriages, something the couple passionately believe in.”

Brad and Ange, who got engaged in April after Brad, 48, splashed out on a £160,000 rock, had considered having a simple wedding in the Bahamas, on the beach where Ange’s mother’s ashes were scattered.

But now they’re both based in the UK while Ange, 37, films her next flick Maleficent and Brad works on The Counselor, they’ve decided on a quickie English wedding.

“It just seems easier,” said the insider. “They’ll keep it very low key.

“They haven’t finalised a date, but they are planning to slip out and get married with the minimum of fuss.”

After the ceremony, the duo – who met on the set of Mr and Mrs Smith – plan to fly to the south of France for a posh shindig at Chateau Miraval, their huge estate in Provence.

Angelina JOLIE is filming Malesficent in a field near me, but the only people I have spotted so far are the burly security guys.

Other news:

Les Mis has wrapped at Pinewood. That means the two largest stages in Pinewood - the Richard Attenborough Stage and the 007 are now available for Maleficent's use. The Sam Mendes-directed Skyfall wrapped last May 23. Maleficent also has some sets in Stage R.
Penelope Cruz confirms Javier, Brad and Cameron Diaz as her co-stars for The Counselor.
It's still not clear how the planned 7-week reshoots for WWZ will affect Brad's involvement in The Counselor and 12 Years A Slave. Both the reshoots and The Counselor are supposed to start in September while 12 Years is starting this week. If his schedule won't allow him to do both I would guess he'd choose to give up The Counselor since he's a producer of 12 Years.
Abe Lincoln Vampire Slayer opened in line with weak early tracking. Tim Burton and Timur Bekmambetov clearly had high hopes for this mashup but it's not finding an audience. Fox hoped for a Wanted-sized hit but this may not make back its costs. That makes 2 disappointments in a row for Tim Burton after Dark Shadows. But he still has Frankenweenie which may do better.
What is interesting is Brave did not have the usual Saturday matinee bump enjoyed by kiddie-friendly films. It divided critics and despite the A CinemScores, word of mouth may be relatively weak.

What would take her away from her cleaning chores is “The Counselor,” a film directed by Ridley Scott that she sounded very excited about. “I love the script because it’s the first one of Cormac McCarthy that is not based on any of his books. It’s really strong—great characters and scenes. This character is very different from me. I’m looking forward to working with Ridley because I’ve known him for a while but we’ve never worked together. Actors really like him.”

She rattled off the impressive names in the film’s cast: “Michael Fassbender, Javier, Brad Pitt and Cameron Diaz.” Laughing, she clarified, “Javier and I don’t have scenes together.”

'Brave' Easily Takes Top Spot; 'Vampire Hunter' and 'Seeking a Friend' Underwhelm June 23, 2012 07:53 AM

by Phil Contrino

With $24.518 million in the bank on Friday, Brave will easily win the weekend. The female-skewing animated flick is poised to top Cars 2 as Pixar's fifth-highest unadjusted debut. Adjusting for inflation puts Brave in 8th place on the Pixar list. Nearly 58,000 Flixster users have combined to give Brave a healthy 85% approval rating.
Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter is shaping up to be one of the summer's biggest duds. The 20th Century Fox release grabbed only $6.3 million on Friday. More than 121,000 Flixster users combined to give the action flick a respectable 75% approval rating.
Seeking a Friend at the End of the World is off to a weak start with only $1.2 million. Nearly 13,000 Flixster users have combined to give the dark comedy a mediocre 66% approval rating.
Additional reporting by Daniel Garris.

Deadline

SUNDAY AM, 4TH UPDATE: My sources tell me that Pixar’s heroine-in-the-highlands Brave will open to around $66.7M this weekend with $24.5M for Friday and $23.5M for Saturday. So it’ll be an easy #1 this weekend – incredibly, Pixar’s 13th straight first place finish which is a tour de force for John Lasseter. That’s better than where DreamWorks Animation’s Madagascar 3: Europe’s Most Wanted opened two weeks ago for distributor Paramount ($60.3M) but the threequel is holding at #2. (Talk about pent-up demand for kid movies!) Looks like concerns that Bravewould only appeal to girls and their mothers were way overplayed. The toon hit all audiences, with 57% under age 25 and 43% over 25. Males were 43%, females 57%. Then again, every Pixar 3D movie has opened to at least $60M. Plus, this is a giant release into 4,164 theaters, 2,790 of which are 3D shows, which is the highest count for a Pixar film thus far and the third highest for any Disney release. Interesting how this is Pixar’s first female lead and Disney’s first anti-princess toon bringing the studio into the 21st Century. Audiences responded with CinemaScores of straight ‘A’s. Disney hosted a global junket in Scotland where Brave is set, plus the red-headed heroine Merida is already doing meet-and-greets in both U.S. Disney parks. Voice Talent included Kelly Macdonald, Billy Connolly, Emma Thompson, Julie Walters, Robbie Coltrane, Kevin McKidd, Craig Ferguson under the direction of Mark Andrews and Brenda Chapman (who also did the story) and co-director Steve Purcell. Screenplay credit went to Andrews, Chapman, Steve Purcell, and Irene Mecchi. The producer was Katherine Sarafian, and executive producers were John Lasseter, Andrew Stanton, and Pete Docter.
Internationally Brave will have a slow rollout, with Japan and Latin America opening in July and in most European markets in August (delayed because of the EuroCup and Olympics). It opened day and date in only 10 territories representing about 17% of the foreign market and made $13.5M. So the global cume is now $80.2M. Domestically, this was the 2nd highest June animation opening in industry history (and Disney history, obviously) behind Toy Story 3.
Also just as interesting is the untested mash-up genre. But Twentieth Century Fox’s R-rated Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter (in 3,106 theaters) only came in 3rd. My sources keep lowering their opening weekend estimate: now it’s $16.5M after a flat $5.6M Friday and flatter $6M Saturday after audieces gave the pic only a ‘C+’ CinemaScore. That didn’t bode well for word of mouth.. That’s about where tracking was showing and Fox was dreading for the 3D horror thriller. Friday’s number included $701,261 in midnight screenings from 1,168 locations. This Lincoln: Vampire Hunter high-concept/no-stars pic did only slightly better than the openings of Tom Cruise’s PG-13 Rock Of Ages and Adam Sandler’s R-rated That’s My Boy which both flopped last weekend. Remember that Fox bought the mash-up package for $69M with most elements attached like producer Tim Burton and director Timur Bekmambetov who used their own money to buy scripter Seth Grahame-Smith’s bestselling book. (Only Hollywood would defile the reputation of one of America’s greatest Presidents…) Fox’s only reticence was the first dollar gross request which initially was just north of 25%. So the final $deal was rich but “it was bought as one of those packages that we agreed to pay the price and blackens if we greenlighted it and dated it immediately,” a Fox exec explained to me. But the studio, led by production president Emma Watts, thought it had a major tentpole teed up that only cost $75M all in. That’s probably no longer the case.

Weekend Box Office: 'Brave' Is Pixar's Thirteenth Straight Number One Debut

Box Office by Gabe Toro | June 24, 2012 12:42 PM

Thirteen films. Thirteen straight hits. All number one movies. It wasn't a surprise to see "Brave" climb that mountain, the fifth-highest opening in Pixar history, even if the numbers are coming in very close to last year's relatively underwhelming "Cars 2." That film wasn't a disappointment as much as it was a "disappointment" -- it outgrossed its predecessor by nearly $100 million and moved serious toys. "Brave" may be looking at similar global business, but without the toy support that made "Cars" a juggernaut, if it performs similar to "Cars 2" domestically ($191 million) people will again start discussing the chinks in Pixar's armor. That being said, "Cars 2" was considered a creative low water-mark, and it dropped 60% in its second weekend, neither of which can be said for "Brave," which should have more traditional animation legs. Expect at least $200 million domestic, probably more, and another victory for Hollywood's premiere hit factory. Also benefitting from solid animated business is "Madagascar 3D: Europe's Most Wanted," which only fell a good 40% after two weeks at the top. The picture may not get to $200 million (a target just out of reach for the first two films), but it will sure give it a shot. The hold is surprising in the face of "Brave," which many figured would cannibalize the audience, but even after losing a number of 3D screens, this franchise remains as viable as ever. A fourth "Madagascar" is not crazy. Or wanted.

Timur Bekmambetov's first American film, "Wanted," proved to be a box office hit opening against a Pixar giant, collecting $51 million in its first weekend. Clearly the hope was that lightning would strike again with "Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter," a man-child-centric horror-history mashup aimed against the girl-friendly "Brave." That didn't happen, and with a suitable $70 million budget, Fox hopes that foreign audiences don't have the reverence (or discriminating taste) to avoid watching a President fight some bloodsuckers. It's a basic fact Hollywood learns this season as they try to stretch names into titles. "Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter" was exactly what was advertised, just as "What To Expect When You're Expecting" and "Battleship." The similarity it shows with those films is that, in a very basic way, audiences saw the title and thought, "This is not a movie." The premise alone, while enough to fuel a cult bestseller, simply doesn't translate to film, where people struggled to ascertain whether this was a full-length movie or a joke. You wouldn't be mistaken for assuming the posters were some photoshop from The Onion, with their dead serious posturing and mood lighting. Even after seeing it, it's a hard film to place. It's a comedy without laughs. A silly action film with serious history. A biopic that isn't. You can get away with this sort of genre trickery if you're Steven Soderbergh. Not necessarily if you're Tim Burton and Timur Bekmambetov.
"Prometheus" vaulted over the $100 million line, collecting decent numbers on the way towards being one of the highest grossing films of the summer. Small honor, that -- pretty much everything has been crushed under the 'Avengers' boot. The business is swifter overseas, as is tradition at this point for big-budget 3D tentpoles, but it's hard to say whether this one is the kind of rousing success that has the studio crowing. Still, it hasn't fallen completely off the Earth, and audiences haven't completely rejected the film. Wait for the DVD has been the rally cry for all Ridley Scott films in recent memory, so maybe this is all moot anyway.

After poor openings, "Rock of Ages" and "That's My Boy" actually held on to a bit of respectability in weekend two, though it's likely for naught. These are tanks, pure and simple. "Rock of Ages" may translate overseas, as it boasts a number of marquee stars, but '80s power metal is mostly an American thing, and the film carried a massive ad presence to match up with the alleged $75 million production budget. The Adam Sandler picture, which, like usual, cost in the vicinity of $70-$80 million despite looking like a buck o'five (Sandler doesn't get out of bed for anything less than his usual rate), will also find a tough time to profitability. Lucky "Rock of Ages" would be the worst film coming out of most other weekends, but it fortunately shares the spotlight with "That's My Boy," something of an industry black eye already and a frontrunner for the Razzies this year. Unbelievably, "Snow White and the Huntsman" is about to be lapped by "The Avengers." The eight-week-old superhero saga boasted the weekend's best legs by far, dropping less than 20% and ready to hit $600 million domestically. It's a bonafide beast in a season that has seen underperformers like 'Snow White' (short of $300 million worldwide thus far) and "Men In Black III" (short of the kajillion dollars needed for profitability). The latter has a decent shot of outgrossing the second film of the series domestically, but that's not much of a milestone, considering "Men In Black 2" was a decade ago, did not benefit from 3D prices, and oh yeah, was absolutely terrible. "MIB 3" will likely slot in as the biggest in the series thus far (at least internationally, where its at the $550 million mark), though considering its skyrocket high budget ($225 million minimally, not counting the costly reshoots and production shut-downs) and ads, they needed a little extra juice to give this franchise more life. It'll look good on paper in the end, especially when DVD comes around, and a fourth film could be on the way if the stars actually care, but Sony will certainly have to make a more cost-effective edition if they actually want to make, you know, a profit.
Making its debut at the tail end of the top ten was "Seeking a Friend for the End of the World," with a dismal showing for an indie picture with a semi-wide release. If it holds, the film will have the weakest per-screen average of any of the top ten films this weekend, absolutely dire results for a hoped-for counterprogrammer. Likely they were hoping for "Crazy Stupid Love" results, though it's doubtful anyone could sell such a morose, downbeat comedy about the apocalypse. As we've said before in this column: it's the title, stupid. The film helped knock "Moonrise Kingdom" back out of the top ten, though the Wes Anderson picture still registered $3.4 million, its best weekend yet, taking its total to slightly under $12 million.
The biggest indie release of the weekend was "To Rome with Love," and coming off the massive success of "Midnight in Paris," that was somewhat expected. On only five screens, the Woody Allen picture registered a very strong $379k for a $75.8k per-screen average, the second best limited debut of the year beyond "Moonrise Kingdom." Also opening, to somewhat limited fanfare, was "Kumare," which premiered on one New York City screen, gathering $12k with further expansion on the way.
As far as limited release holdovers, "Bernie" continues to perform with a strong $485k showing in the film's ninth week of release, bringing its total past $6.6 million. Also solid was the third week showing for "Safety Not Guaranteed," which crossed the $1 million mark in week three with a $482k take on 129 screens. With expansion coming, "Your Sister's Sister" also appears poised to break out, going from 13 to 47 theaters, grossing $216k for a two week total of $379k. Meanwhile, weekend five saw barely any change from global hit "The Intouchables," which didn't drop at all from last week despite losing three theaters, collecting $356k. It's global total currently stands at $351 million, and yes you are reading that correctly.
A crowded weekend for holdovers at the indie marketplace means slightly weaker results for would-be hits. Brainstorm Media launched their distribution arm with "Dark Horse," but in three weekends, the film has only collected $49k, quietly earning $11.6k on six screens for the three-day frame. While primarily a VOD release, "Peace, Love And Misunderstanding" generated absolutely zero heat, with a little under $90k on sixty-four screens for a $450k total after three weeks. And Fox Searchlight could only be so aggressive with "Lola Versus," the would-be breakout hit that was killed by male critics. At fifty locations, the film generated a piddling $46k, bringing its three week total to $203k. Support your local arthouse theater, boys and girls.
1. Brave (Disney) - $66.7 million
2. Madagascar 3D: Europe's Most Wanted (Dreamworks) - $20.2 million ($158 mil.)
3. Abraham Lincoln: Vamp- Wait, You Were Serious? (Fox) - $16.5 million

Maybe we can’t have it all. Let’s aim for having enough

(Randy Quan/)

I sometimes like to amuse myself by imagining a world in which men are torn by guilt over the idea of “having it all.” I picture them gathered in a pretty apartment over a bottle of chardonnay, scented candles flickering. After they’ve finished talking about the latest Ann Patchett novel, one of them says: “You know, Bill, I am so stressed out. I forgot to finish making my daughter’s skating costume, and my boss was on my back because the report was late, and I’ve been too tired for sex for weeks. I’m the world’s biggest failure.”
“I know what you mean, Charlie. I was making a pot pie to take to my sick friend, and it burned because I was trying to help my son with his homework and – oh, screw it, the Leafs game is on. Can you turn up the sound?”
Yes, you’re more likely to believe that Abraham Lincoln hunted vampires. Somehow men seem to accept the cracked, duct-taped lives they’ve been given, while it is women’s lot to constantly imagine themselves next to a yardstick marked “perfection,” wondering how they might earn those last few inches.
It’s no wonder, then, that women are less happy now than they were 40 years ago, as Anne-Marie Slaughter writes in her much-talked-about cover story for The Atlantic, “Why Women Still Can’t Have it All.” Actually, that cover line, while sure to draw readers the way fish guts draw sharks, is misleading: In the piece, Prof. Slaughter writes, “I still strongly believe that women can ‘have it all’ (and that men can, too). … But not today, not with the way America’s economy and society are currently structured.”
Prof. Slaughter was at the pinnacle of accomplishment when she discovered her work-life balance was out of whack. She was working as Hillary Clinton’s director of policy planning at the U.S. State Department, the first woman in that role. She also had a troubled 14-year-old back home in New Jersey, and something had to give. The job gave. She left Washington to return to teaching at Princeton (which, in a normal world, hardly seems like a relaxing downshift).
In the never-ending “having it all” debate, which sometimes feels like Groundhog Day with a pedicure, voices can get a bit shrill. This week, for example, Cherie Blair – the wife of former British prime minister Tony Blair and a top lawyer – turned her rhetorical cannon on women who have lost their zest for success, who want only to “marry wealthy men so they can stay home.” Earlier this year, Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg caused a mini-storm when she railed against women’s “ambition gap,” blaming it partly on a culture that values affability in girls rather than grit.
But Prof. Slaughter’s argument is more thoughtful and humane: It’s not women (or men) who are to blame, but a system that is “time macho” – obsessed with hours at the desk – and fails to prioritize family life. Having more women in positions of legislative power, she writes, might help bring about a cultural shift.
I’d add this: We need to stop using that horrible phrase. Even Angelina Jolie doesn’t have it all – although she does have Brad Pitt and a pilot’s license, which is probably as close as anyone will get. Maybe we should return to a sustenance-level measurement of satisfaction: Not having it all, but having enough. We could learn to live with different expectations, so if you went to bed at night saying, “Everyone in this family is still alive, and nothing caught on fire,” it would be judged a good day.
But assumptions can be tricky beggars to shift. I had a horrifying realization while reading Prof. Slaughter’s article: Every time I’ve interviewed a powerful woman who has children, I’ve asked how she manages the juggling act, without once considering the inherent sexism of the question. Sometimes the answer was incredibly poignant, as with novelist P.D. James, who wrote her first novel while raising two children, working full-time and living with her in-laws; her husband had been in a psychiatric facility since returning from service in the Second World War. She told me, without an ounce of self-pity, that in return for child care, she provided her in-laws with newspapers and gossip, and that this bought her time to write.
While I’ve grilled all sorts of women on how they maintain the holy trinity of work, life and sanity, I don’t think I’ve ever asked a single male interview subject the same question. It feels like a glaring oversight – something I plan to rectify. I’ll add it to my to-do list.

Angelina Jolie As Maleficent + Other Dramatic Disney Transformations We Love

Posted 54 mins ago by Joey Parker in Celebs, Movies

Photo: (Getty Images)

Disney fans all over are celebrating this week with the newly released photo of Sleeping Beauty's evil nemesis, Maleficent, played by none other than Angelina Jolie herself. She joins the likes of actresses Anne Hathaway, Charlize Theron and more who have made astonishing Disney transformations. "Mirror, mirror on the wall, who is the most charitable of them all?"

+ Angelina Jolie in 'Maleficent'

Maleficent is the sorceress, the antagonist, and the villain that many despise, but to Angelina Jolie it was always her favorite growing up. She told MTV in 2010, "I would love to [make "Maleficent"]. It's all new and being discussed, but I loved her when I was a little girl, she was my favorite." But a sleeping beauty she is not -- beauty, yes; sleeping, no! She's quite the active mom, wife, actress, AND philanthropist. Just this week, she helped organize global efforts for the UN's World Refugee Day as Special Envoy of the U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR).

+ Charlize Theron in 'Snow White and The Huntsman'

Photo: (Getty Images/Disney)

From one evil character to the next! This summer, we saw Charlize Theron take on a darker role, as the Queen in "Snow White and The Huntsman," Universal Pictures' new take on the Disney classic. Charlize played the character of the evil Queen, and how great did she look? Dark, cold, and completely fitting the part perfect -- howeverrr, she is quite the antithesis in real life. In fact, she runs her own charity called Charlize Africa Outreach and is on a mission to end HIV/AIDS.

+ Anne Hathaway in "Alice In Wonderland"

Photo: (Getty Images/Disney)

In Tim Burton's remake of "Alice in Wonderland," Anne Hathaway stepped onto the big screen playing the White Queen. Just like in real life, Anne perfectly portrayed a lady of elegance and grace. Did you know in 2011 she took a philanthropic trip to Africa alongside The Girl Effect, a movement to help young girls and families in poverty? She has also repeatedly been vocal in supporting the LGBT community, and was spotted marching in the Occupy protests in NYC a few months back!

+ Olivia Wilde as Snow White's Evil Queen

Photo: (Getty Images/Annie Leibovitz)

In 2011, Olivia Wilde posed as the Evil Queen in "Snow White" for famous photographer Annie Leibovitz in a Disney-inspired photo shoot! But in real life, Olivia is far from evil, amiright??? She has been a huge voice for Haiti and recently debuted a documentary at the Tribeca Film Festival titled "Baseball in the Time of Cholera." The documentary reveals the effects of the cholera outbreak on a young Haitian athlete.

+ Jessica Biel as Pocahontas

Photo: (Getty Images/Annie Leibovitz)

In another Annie Leibovitz photograph, Jessica Biel poses as Disney's Pocahontas. Both Jessica and Pocahontas are adventurous, thrill-seeking, and nature-loving to the max, so it comes as no surprise that in 2010, Jessica and a team climbed Mount Kilimanjaro! Yep, they climbed all 19,340 feet on a mission to raise awareness for clean water.

Women's Fashion

When Angelina Jolie’s leg stole the Academy Awards show this past February, the fashion police raged. Shocked and bemused, no one would have predicted at the time that the thigh-high slit in that Atelier Versace dress combined with Jolie’s deliberate, look-at-my-leg pose would start a red-carpet trend. But alas, the Angelina Effect has taken hold of red carpets everywhere, from New York to Hollywood and Antibes. A repeat offender, the model Anja Rubik took the look to new heights in an Anthony Vaccarello dress slit on the right for the Met Ball, and then in Roberto Cavalli at the Cannes Film Festival. “There is something so seductive about the movement of a dress with a high slit,” said Jason Wu, who designed the racy lace dress worn by the model Jessica Stam to the CFDA Awards earlier this month. “It definitely makes you look twice.” Also spotted at the CFDA Awards was the model Hilary Rhoda, in modernist Rebecca Minkoff. “Adding a slit to a long dress makes it feel less formal,” Minkoff said. “It’s a modern bombshell look.” That’s got legs, no doubt.

What's a nice, well-brought-up English girl doing playing a Texan trailer-trash fille fatale? Not to mention a 1970s prostitute, a sexually voracious student, a lesbian teenage drifter, a schizophrenic, or countless other US indie staples. Juno Temple has rarely paused to think about it. A whirlwind of chaotic enthusiasm, the 22-year-old actor is not the type to look back. In fact, she seems to live her life on permanent fast-forward. She talks twice as fast as most people, and her career is progressing at the same rate. We're here in a west London cafe to talk about her role in William Friedkin's Killer Joe. Next month we'll see her in The Dark Knight Rises (she can't say anything about it, of course). And then, after that, there's The Wild Side, with Nicolas Cage: "I play a serial killer beauty queen who goes on the rampage. It's similar to Natural Born Killers, True Romance, Badlands, Wild At Heart – all these movies that I grew up being obsessed with 'cos they just have the coolest female characters ever."

On screen Temple is often uninhibited, uncalculating and scatter-brained; in real life, she's pretty much the same. She turns up to meet me unaccompanied, her hair messily scrunched up like she hadn't really thought to brush it before going out. She can barely remember what film she's here to talk about. Oh yes, Killer Joe. It was about 10 films ago for her, so perhaps that's understandable. A noir thriller that's been hard boiled then southern fried, to the point it's difficult to identify what it is, Killer Joe is certainly not to everyone's taste. The increasingly perverse plot revolves around Joe, a smooth, black-stetsoned Texan lawman/hitman (Matthew McConaughey, something of a revelation) who is enlisted by a trailer-trash punk (Emile Hirsch) to bump off his momma. Joe initially turns down the job, until Hirsch offers up his little sister (Temple) as sexual collateral. A queasy romance follows, treading a line between grim exploitation and surreal fairytale, one that reaches its climax with one of the strangest, least comfortable sex scenes in recent memory.

"When the film played in Toronto last year, they described it as a 'rape scene'," says Temple. "I was like, 'What?' That is so not a rape scene. That's a sweet love scene, in a bizarre way." Right. "I was pretty nervous to take my clothes off with him [McConaughey] to be honest with you," Temple goes on, at pace. "Cos, you know, first of all it's pretty exposing, and second, you're doing it with the sexiest man in the world. And he gets to keep his kit on and I'm like a fucking English yam with a sock tan."

Sock tan aside, Temple remembers the movie with nothing less than total enthusiasm. "It blew my mind the first time I saw it. It felt like first time I watched Reservoir Dogs. It was like, 'POW! Woah! Oh my God!'" (It's not that good, but hey.) Making the film, working with Friedkin, the director of The French Connection and The Exorcist, was a "fucking mind-blowing" experience. "I just want people to feel passionate about it. Whether they passionately love it or passionately hate it."

When chronicling Temple's success, one does have to note that her father is Julien Temple, renowned chronicler of British punk and pop, from The Great Rock'n'Roll Swindle and Absolute Beginners to recent documentaries on Joe Strummer, Dr Feelgood and Glastonbury. Temple does credit her parents for getting her where she is now."I didn't have a conventional upbringing," she admits. Raised in Somerset, she knows Glastonbury like the back of her hand, and counted people like Joe Strummer among family friends. "But you grew up not being aware of any of that," she says. "I remember at about age 17 seeing a lot of people wearing Clash hoodies and being, like, 'Oh my God. That's him.' I've been lucky to meet a lot of really inspirational people, but most of the time I didn't know what was going on. I just wanted to play with Spice Girl Barbie dolls."

On the subject of nepotism, Temple concedes to some, but says it didn't really work out. In 1998, Julien cast an eight-year-old Juno in his biopic Vigo: A Passion For Life. After the film was finished, though, he edited her part out. In retrospect, given that the film received a critical mauling, that could count as dodging a bullet. Temple insists that her parents pushed her the other way. "When I first told them I wanted to be an actor, they were like, 'Fuck that! You're going to be miserable. You're going to be unemployed, you're going to be told you're too short, too this, too that.' My mum found out about an open audition in London. She said, 'You wanna be an actress? Go see how many other people want to be an actress too, honey. Good luck.'"

Of course, she got the part. The movie was Notes On A Scandal, with Judi Dench and Cate Blanchett. Director Richard Eyre had no idea of her connections, but later described her as "intelligent and very droll, with such a grace about her". After that came a larger role in Atonement, but then nobody in Britain quite knew what to do with her, it seemed, except cast her as a posh Brits and public schoolgirls, as with the St Trinian's movies, Wild Child and Cracks. You can see the attraction of leaving for Los Angeles to play psychotic Americans.

Temple can't really explain how she ended up where she did. She claims she never had a career plan beyond studying lingerie design at college. The best she can come up with is that she looks young for her age, so can still play teen characters. But having been groomed on movies by her dad, her heroes are people like Gus Van Sant, Paul Thomas Anderson and Quentin Tarantino, and her instincts led her to edgier American work. Being a liberal-minded European, she's also more adventurous than many American actors her age, she suggests. "I tackle things that scare other people off."
2010's cult college comedy Kaboom is a good example. Temple played London, the aforementioned sexually voracious student, who's hilariously free of hang-ups and inhibitions. Temple's character was originally intended for an American actor, according to writer-director Gregg Araki. "But when she walked in, I just fell in love with her. She's so charming and beautiful, such a unique and singular presence. I sort of tailored the part for her."

Like other distinctly English actors before her, Temple looks set to leave the UK to spend more time in the country she says she's fallen in love with. She wants to buy a house in New Orleans, where Killer Joe was shot. Her American accent comes naturally now and she has trouble doing a proper English one. She says "freeway" and "cellphone", and her intonation rises at the end of sentences. She's only back in London to rehearse for another Hollywood movie, Maleficent, an expensive reworking of Sleeping Beauty led by Angelina Jolie (Temple is one of the fairies). After that, in yet another unlikely role, she's playing Princess Margaret, which should knock some Britishness back into her.

Temple laughs at how spoilt she sounds. She's had one of the least troubled lives it's possible to imagine, and she knows it. "I feel like if I don't appreciate it, this will all be taken away from me," she says. "So I'm enjoying every minute. No one's life is a complete breeze, but I'm a pretty lucky little girl."

Hair-raising ... Angelina Jolie

ANGELINA Jolie has shown she is made of pretty hard stuff as she filmed scenes for her latest movie Maleficent in the Buckinghamshire countryside – alongside a number of fearsome-looking bulls.

But thankfully for the actress, the animals were as professionally behaved as her other co-stars.
Their trainers stood out of shot, barking out orders for them to stand still as Ange strolled around them.
She was continuing the cattle theme after earlier this week sporting a pair of bull horns, fake cheekbones and a creepy cloak for her role as a sorceress in the film, out in 2014.
Hopefully she didn’t get too attached.
Not sure how Brad Pitt would feel about her bringing one back for their house in Surrey – unless it played darts like Bully from Bullseye.
