Taresm Singh’s The Fall takes place in Los Angeles during the 1920’s. The story revolves around a little immigrant girl (Catinca Untaru) who finds herself in a hospital recovering from a fall. She strikes up a friendship with a bedridden man (Lee Pace) who captivates her with a whimsical story that removes her far from the hospital doldrums into the exotic landscapes of her imagination. Making sure he keeps the girl interested in the story, he interweaves her family and people she likes from the hospital into this extraordinarily visual tale. We recently caught up with both the film’s director Taresm Singh as well as his leading man, Lee Pace, for some insight into the production.

See the videos here.

IN THE past five years, Lee Pace has played a corrupt CIA agent, a cold-blooded killer and a transvestite whose lover is beaten to death.

So his latest role, as one of Amy Adams’ many admirers in the ’30s romantic confection Miss Pettigrew Lives For A Day provided some welcome light relief.”All my character Michael really has to do is fall in love with Amy – and that’s an easy thing to do,” says the American actor of the strawberry blonde Enchanted star, and 2006 Oscar nominee, pictured with Pace.

“For a bit of a challenge, I decided to give myself a northern accent and model him on a rough, heart-on-your-sleeve, Albert Finney kind of character.” Continue…

Lee was at the Superheroes Fashion and Fantasy Costume Institute Gala on 5th May. A few pictures are in the gallery.

   

Anna Friel has ruled out having any more children until ‘Pushing Daisies’ has finished.

The 31-year-old actress - who has a three-year-old daughter Gracie with partner, actor David Thewlis - wants to expand her family, but is more concerned with continuing her role in the hit US TV show.

Anna plays Charlotte Charles, who is bought back to life by her high school sweetheart, but discovers she will die again if she ever touches him.

She said: “I definitely want more kids. I’d like another two probably, but not yet. I can’t right now - I’m not sure how they would explain my character on ‘Pushing Daisies’ getting pregnant when her leading man can’t actually touch her. What am I - the Virgin Mary?”

Anna also said she is not worried about coping with pregnancy in weight-conscious city Los Angeles because the obsession with size is unhealthy.

She added: “I don’t think being self-obsessed is a very endearing quality to have. Just being self-aware and healthy is enough, I think.”

Anna Friel has revealed that getting naked in front of the cameras never gets easier.

‘Any scene that involves stripping off is hell,’ she says.

‘You just know it’s going to take a day or more to get it right. It never gets any better and it’s always uncomfortable.

‘All you can do is grin and bare it.’

But Anna, 31 - who has daughter Gracie, 2, with boyfriend David Thewlis, 44 - says it has nothing to do with being self-conscious.

‘I’m in a really good place,’ she tells Celebs On Sunday.

‘I used to be a right worrier, but being in a steady relationship has made a massive difference.

‘I was on my own for 3 years before meeting David. I’m very happy with him, he’s a fantastic man.’

Imagine being a young actor just off your first big film and a director meets you with this most unusual job offer: You are to play a paralyzed soldier and not let on to anyone you know - not even your co-stars or the film’s crew - that you can walk in real life.

It happened to Lee Pace, now the star of ABC’s “Pushing Daisies,” who filmed his part in director Tarsem Singh’s epic fantasy “The Fall” four years ago when he was not yet famous. He played a bedridden man in a hospital who befriends a young girl with a broken collarbone and starts telling her a vivid, fantastical story of exotic lands.

“I thought, `Great! I’ll really be acting now, great method stuff,”‘ said Lee, who was trained at Juilliard. “I had only done one movie before this. He had seen `Soldier’s Girl’ and thought I’d be perfect for this one. God knows why.” Continue…

Kristin Chenoweth may not be on Broadway right now, and she’s still on hiatus from her popular ABC sitcom Pushing Daisies, but she’s one busy lady. On May 6, she performs a solo concert with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra; on May 18, she helps Encompass Opera Theatre celebrate the birthday of Apple Tree composer Jerry Bock, and on May 20, she’ll join Marvin Hamlisch, Raul Esparza, and the New York Philharmonic for the Broadway Showstoppers concert at Avery Fisher Hall. In between her preparations for all these events, she took a few minutes to chat via email with TheaterMania.THEATERMANIA: You’re heading to Chicago soon? Does that city hold any special memories for you?
KRISTIN CHENOWETH: I remember we opened You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown in nearby Skokie, and Chicago became one of my favorite cities. Continue…

Former THE WEST WING star Kristin Chenoweth is to reveal all about her childhood as an adoptee in a new book. The actress/singer will reportedly pen a memoir for publishers Touchstone.
The Oklahoman plans to write a candid account of her life from her adoption shortly after birth to her celebrated performance on Broadway in “Wicked” and her movie and TV career. The book is scheduled to hit shelves next spring (09).

Bringing the dead back to life is not an unfamiliar conceit for a drama, but new US series Pushing Daisies offers a refreshingly unique - and often surreal - twist. Part romance, part comedy and part mystery, the show revolves around humble pie-maker Ned (Lee Pace), a man blessed with the ability to revive the dead with a single touch. Among those he gives the finger to is childhood sweetheart Chuck (Anna Friel), cruelly bumped off before her time. Lee and Anna tell us why it’s a premise packed with potential.

What’s the show all about?
Lee Pace: “Well I play Ned, who touches dead things and brings them back to life, but if they live for more than a minute, something else will die. And if I touch them a second time, they die again forever. In the first episode I bring Chuck, my childhood sweetheart, back to life and a comedy ensues.”
Anna Friel: “It’s quite essentially a comedy with drama. It’s incredibly romantic and a show where anything could happen. It’s visually stunning and its production values are so high. Each episode costs $3.2 million and we have 11 days to shoot it. The biggest challenge after making such a big pilot is how to keep it up every week. I think we’ve proved everybody wrong, not wanting to sound big-headed.” Continue…
