New
Title, New Date

Looks like there are
changes afoot regarding
Barbra's next film. It's
been confirmed that the
title
My
Mother's
Curse
has
been
scrapped
and
replaced
by
the
more
descriptive
Guilt
Trip.
And
(it's
rumored
that)
Paramount
will
change
the
opening
date
from
March
to
November,
2012.
Barbra Films at Caesar's
Palace
July 17, 2011
Barbra
never gave a concert at Caesars
Palace in Las Vegas (well,
not yet, anyway),
but she did capture the
attention of the hotel's
guests and staff on July 14. Barbra was there to shoot scenes
for her upcoming film, "My
Mother's Curse."
We dropped by to catch a
glimpse of
Barbra. She and co-star Seth
Rogen were
preparing to shoot a scene in the mail lobby of Caesar's as hotel
guests and staff watched
in amazement. The Vegas scenes are presumably the only
ones that were filmed at actual locations as called for in the
script. Read our complete report from the Las Vegas set
here.
With filming at Caesars
Palace now complete, "My Mother's Curse" has officially wrapped.
Casting
Update: Colin Hanks
May
26,
2011
The Hollywood Reporter
announced
that Colin Hanks
(Tom's
son) has joined the cast of "My Mother's Curse."
In the film, Hanks and Yvonne Strahovski will play
the
young married couple
who offer Barbra and Seth
Rogen emergency refuge
during a blinding snow
storm. It's sure to be a
hilarious scene with
Yvonne playing one of
Seth's former girl
friends.
In
2010,
Hanks made a name for himself
by receiving terrific
notices for his role on the TV cop series,
"The Good Guys." In
2008, Colin co-starred
opposite Josh Brolin, the
son of another actor you
might have heard of. The
picture was Oliver Stone's
"W."

Snow
Way!

When we first saw pix of
Barbra
and
Seth
Rogen
filming
a
snowbound
scene
from
"My
Mother's
Curse"
(published
in
the
UK's
"Daily
Mail"),
we
were
hard
pressed
to
believe
they
were
actually
on
location
in
balmy
L.A.
We checked and the weather was 72º
with clear skies the day of the shoot.

excited
about
this
particular
bit
of
casting
news.
She
was
great
in
"Sister
Act"
and
"Hocus
Pocus."
Her
casting
brings
the
comic
possibilities

to a
new

nondescript

Filming
began
this
week
on
"My

Barbra
Streisand's
19th
feature
film.
On
May
3,
Barbra
and
co-star
Seth
Rogen
were
in
Southern
California
filming
scenes
at a
makeshift
car
rental
counter
as
the
two
characters
begin
their
cross-country
adventure.
A
series
of
images,
the
first
we've
seen
of
Barbra
and
Seth
in
character as
Joyce
and
Andy
Brewster,
were
captured
by
photographers
Eric
Ford

Danny

In
"My

mom
Joyce

son
Andy
embark
on a
cross

trip.
Andy's
ulterior
motive
is
simple:
he
wants
to
reunite
Joyce
with
her
long
lost
love.
"My

is
tentatively
scheduled
for
a
March
30,

opening.
Save
the
Date
March 1, 2012 (UPDATE)
The
official opening date for "The Guilt Trip" (formerly "My Mother's
Curse") has been changed to November 2, 2012.
March 9, 2011
Broadwayworld.com
and
Deadline.com
are
both
reporting
that
Paramount
Pictures
has
slated
March
30,
2012
as
the
opening
day
for
"My
Mother's

While
it
may
seem
premature
to
announce
an
opening
date
for
a
picture
that
hasn't
even
begun
shooting
(and
where's
the
complete
cast
list?),
at
least
the
film
is
starting
to
generate
some
buzz.
As
for
that
March
30,
2012
opening,
what
can
we
say?

"My
Mother's
Curse"
Gets
Green
Light:
Hollywood
Reporter
January 28, 2011
Just
as
the
tidal
wave
of
"Gypsy"
rumors
has
finally
subsided,
The
Hollywood
Reporter
announced
today
that
Seth
Rogen
and
Barbra
will
star
in
the
comedy,
"My
Mother's
Curse."
According
to
The
Reporter,
Ann
Fletcher
(The
Proposal)
will
direct.
Lorne
Michaels,
along
with
Barbra,
Rogen
and
others
will
share
producing
credits.
Barbra
teaming
up
with
Seth
Rogen
in
"My
Mother's
Curse"
has
been
a
hot
Hollywood
rumor
for
the
past
year.
And
now
that
the
Paramount
has
finally
given
the
green
light,
shooting
is
expected
to
begin
this
spring.
The
film
will
be a
road
comedy
with
Seth's
character
taking
his
mother
on a
cross
country
trip
to
reunite
her
with
a
lost
love.
So,
Who
is
Seth
Rogen
Anyway?
He
just
happens
to
be
one
of
the
biggest
Hollywood
stars
on
the
contemporary
scene
today.
At
just
29,
Rogen
has
already
appeared
in
over
a
dozen
films
-
like
2008's
"Pineapple
Express"
and
the
recently
released
"The
Green
Hornet"
-
both
box
office
hits.
Rogen
has
done
quite
a
bit
of
voiceover
work
as
well.
You
probably
heard
him
on
TV
episodes
of
"The
Simpsons"
and
"American
Dad."
He
also
voiced
characters
for
the
animated
features
"Kung
Fu
Panda"
and
"Shrek
the
Third."
According
to
IMDb,
Rogen
currently
has
four
films
primed
for
release
and
two
in
pre-production,
including
"My
Mother's
Curse." |
