Apologies for the recent delay in updates; news on Milla is scarce right now, and I will be out of town without a solid internet connection until mid-June, which makes updating rather difficult for me. Please be patient with me. Thank you.

To make up for the slow updates I do have a small treat for you today. The ever wonderful Dale has once again bestowed us with some fabulous hi-res scans; 6 hi-res scans of Milla’s German Vogue May 1997 and 9 hi-res scans of her Mixte Fall/Winter 1996-1997 editorials. Thank you, Dale! More miscellaneous media coming up.

New Photo Albums:

• ‘Mixte’ (Fr) Fall/Winter 1996-1997 Scans
• ‘Vogue’ (De) May 1997 Scans

Yay! The recent online speculation regarding Wim Wenders’ The Palermo Shooting and the possibility of the film premiering at this year’s Cannes Film Festival is finally over; The Palermo Shooting has been confirmed as one of the films in this year’s competition lineup! Congratulations to the entire Palermo Shooting team!

The festival will take place in Cannes, France on May 14-25 2008. Milla has attended the festival many times in the past - hopefully, with the premiere of The Palermo Shooting, this year will be no exception. She is, however, currently filming A Perfect Getaway in Puerto Rico.

The Palermo Shooting is a Wim Wenders-directed drama film, in which Milla makes a small cameo appearance. Check out our Upcoming Productions-page for details!

We have word of yet another new movie project for Milla! According to The Hollywood Reporter, Milla is set to star in the reality-based Alaskan thriller The 4th Kind:

Milla Jovovich will star in Gold Circle Films’ thriller The 4th Kind. Olatunde Osunsanmi, a former assistant to filmmaker Joe Carnahan, is making his directorial debut on the film, which he also wrote.

Although project details are being kept under wraps, it is described as a fact-based thriller involving an ongoing unsolved mystery in Alaska, where one town has seen an extraordinary number of unexplained disappearances during the past 40 years and there are accusations of a federal cover-up. Jovovich plays a woman investigating the disappearances in the town.

A late-June start is being eyed.

Sounds exciting; congratulations Milla! However, I’m a little worried about what this means for Milla’s participation in the production of Azazel, which was also set begin this Summer. I suppose there will be official word on the matter soon.

Many thanks to Dale and Angie of Amy Acker Fan for the heads-up!

Things are a bit quiet with Milla right now, so I took this opportunity to update the video archive with 8 site-exclusive video clips of Milla as the iconic Leeloo in Luc Besson’s 1997 sci-fi cult hit, The Fifth Element, which is one of Milla’s most memorable onscreen performances. I also added a video clip of Milla promoting Ultraviolet on Attack of the Show in 2006. All clips are in .mp4 format. Enjoy!

Some of you will remember how the possibility of Wim Wenders’ The Palermo Shooting premiering at this year’s Cannes Film Festival was brought up a few weeks back. Well, unfortunately we still don’t know, because the Cannes Film Festival nominees announcement has been pushed back all the way to April 23. From Hollywood Today.net:

Amid rumors that the world’s most glamorous event outside of perhaps the Oscars, the Cannes Film Festival, led by Thierry Fremaux has been having a hard time finding movies they want for the annual competition, the date of their announcement of movies that will be featured in the festival beginning May 14 has been pushed back from April 17 to April 23 - leaving precious little planning time for all concerned.

It is the equivalent of the Academy Awards or Grammys suddenly saying they will not announce nominees until three weeks before airtime.

The timing of the announcement is of major concern to film companies, filmmakers and others involved in movies that might be among the approximately 20 that will compete for the top prize, the Palme d’Or, as well as movies in sidebar competition Un Certain Regard. Only after the official announcement will many of those involved set their travel and hotel plans. The loss of a week of planning time is going to squeeze these plans into an even tighter space.

The Palermo Shooting is a Wim Wenders-directed drama film in which Milla makes a small cameo appearance. The film is the second Milla-Wenders movie collaboration; in 2000, Milla starred in Wenders’ indie drama The Million Dollar Hotel. The Palermo Shooting is currently in post-production, and a likely candidate to premiere at the Cannes Film Festival this May.

Thanks to the good Millafan, a local in Puerto Rico where the production team for A Perfect Getaway was recently spotted, we have more information on the film’s production schedule and locations. Most of the filming will be done in Puerto Rico, although according to The Hollywood Reporter some filming will also take place in Hawaii.

Filming for A Perfect Getaway seems indeed to have begun, as on April 2, Milla was spotted shooting a wedding scene for the film at the Normandie Hotel in San Juan, Puerto Rico. Filming in Puerto Rico will continue for a few months, where many (if not all) of the action scenes will be shot. Many thanks to millafan for the heads-up!

Update: A Perfect Getaway has been added to Milla’s filmography at IMDb.com, where the name of her character is listed as “Cydney”. Milla and Steve Zahn will portray lovers on a Hawaiian honeymoon when a pair of killers (portrayed by Timothy Olyphant and Kiele Sanchez) begin to stalk them.

Update 2: Someone at Facebook has posted photos from the San Juan, Puerto Rico set. I can’t really make out if Milla is in any of these, but if you’re interested in the film they’re surely worth a look, especially since these are the first photos of the set I’ve seen. If anyone happens to be on location and is able to snap and send in a few photos of Milla shooting the film, it would be much appreciated!
