Movies never seem to get tired of mining the comedic territory of artificial insemination. Jennifer Aniston and Jason Bateman have the squirm-inducing “The Baster” coming up next year. Now we learn that sperm donation means “The Kids Are All Right” for at least one cast of characters.

Variety reports that Annette Bening, Julianne Moore, Mark Ruffalo, Mia Wasikowski (”Alice in Wonderland“) and Josh Hutcherson (”Journey to the Center of the Earth”) have joined director Lisa Cholodenko’s indie project — not a remake of the classic same-titled documentary about British classic rock outfit The Who — which begins shooting today.

The plot revolves around a same-sex couple, played by Bening and Moore, who are raising two children (Hutcherson and Waskikowski) conceived through artificial insemination. The two kids decide to track down their donor father, and find that he’s none other than Mark Ruffalo. He enters their lives and upsets their happy family dynamic, for better or for worse. I’m not sure if this is meant to be funny or serious, so let’s be safe and label it a “dramedy,” and hope that it’s not a fatherhood thriller!

Finally, it was released! And it looks really great!

As you may noticed, our gallery went offline in the past week. The reason was I decided to give a try to another script. Our previous one was easy to navigate, but was being a pain to upgrade it every month due unsecurity reasons.

All images were transfered to the new script, still located here. The thumbnails and links in our previous posts are still broken, but I’ll be working to fix it.

Let me know if you have ANY difficulty to browse this new script. And continue enjoying the gallery.

There’s a new trailer for “The Brothers Bloom”, not really different than the previous one:

Added HQ captures to the gallery. Also, finally the movie appears to have a final release date: May 15, according to IndieWire.

Rope of Silicon came today with a scanned image of a teaser post from “Shutter Island”. The poster was scanned out of the Berliner Zeitung newspaper as part of a story about TMG/Concorde, the film’s distributor, by “Friends of Eddie”.

Also in January they published scans from Cahiers du Cinéma’s January 2009 edition which contains a diary from the set of the movie due out October 2. The diary was written by Argentinean filmmaker Celine Murga as she was able to observe the whole of the entire shot as a laureate of the 2008 Rolex Mentor and Protege Arts Initiative.

Also, the official site is live, but merely with placeholder information.
