The end of the Spider-Man franchise has created new opportunities for Kirsten Dunst. She’s just been set by Lars von Trier to play the lead role in Melancholia that Penelope Cruz was negotiating before she jumped to Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides. Melancholia is a sci-fi disaster film that will shoot July through September in Southern Sweden, with Charlotte Gainsbourg, Kiefer Sutherland, Charlotte Rampling, Alexander Skarsgaard, Stellan Skarsgaard and Udo Kier also attached to roles. Dunst is currently starring with Jim Sturgess in Upside Down. Bastard, the short film she directed and co-wrote, will premiere at the Tribeca Film Fest and was just accepted into Cannes.


YES! Kirsten is awesome!
im down for anything with kiefer in it. not sure about kirsten though.
Both Skarsgårds are pretty well known, one would think you could spell their names right?
Is Kirsten still alive? Can we double check please? If so, has she taken an acting lessons?
This story is being cited everywhere. Don’t you think you should give at least some indication of the source of the information?
I’m sure her short film is beyond brilliant. The fact she directed it has nothing to do with it getting into Cannes or that shitfest Tribeca.
So sick of the star fucking at festivals. Can you imagine what a piece of shit this short must be?
Kiefer!!!YAY!!
Extraordinary, change is one of the most important
writing ‘aa’ is an acceptable substitute for when character ‘å’ is not available jsyk
Interesting choice for both Kirsten and Von Trier. She better be ready to portray a likely very abused and deranged lead character.
Yeah, the two Charlotte’s together. Loved Rampling since THE NIGHT PORTER. And Gainsbourg is like the younger version of her…both very powerful actresses. Great to see them together in a film, especially in a Lars film – this is going to rock.
Penelope has officially sold her soul.
“southern sweden”. that’s trollhättan, my town, WHERE I LIVE!!!!
don’t forget to take pictures
This girl needs to get herself to a KFC ASAP! Waif alert!
Dunst is doing something right if she is working with Von Trier.
Ugly but hot, great combo!
