Yesterday, we reported of John Curran’s crime drama Stone being set to premiere at the 2010 Toronto International Film Festival in September. Well, according to Milla Jovovich herself via her verified Twitter account @MillaJovovich, the same goes for Abe Sylvia’s Dirty Girl! From the source:

Jst found out that both of my new films, “STONE” and “DIRTY GIRL” will premiere at the toronto film festival! SO COOL! I’m so happy abt it!

Dirty Girl being part of the TIFF schedule has yet to be officially announced, however this news coming straight from Milla is likely to be confirmed later. Hopefully, this also means Milla will be appearing at this year’s TIFF! Keep your fingers crossed for new pics.

In less exciting movie news, don’t expect to see too many (authorized) pictures of Milla on the Oklahoma City set of Bringing Up Bobby, as Milla says she’s not allowed to post pictures from the production. Bummer.

According to the Toronto International Film Festival official site, John Curran’s crime drama Stone, starring Robert De Niro, Edward Norton and Milla Jovovich, will be screened at this year’s festival, running September 9-19. The festival film schedule won’t be locked until August 23, however, so we’ll have to wait until then for specifics. We’ll keep you posted, though.

Stone official description from the TIFF website:

There is no greater pleasure in cinema than watching great actors at work. Director John Curran (We Don’t Live Here Anymore) once again guides top actors to terrific performances in Stone. Delving into the mind of a deranged arsonist and an off-kilter parole officer, this taut thriller pits two generations of Hollywood’s most compelling dramatic actors against each other in a battle of blackmail and emotional manipulation.

Jack Mabry (Robert De Niro) is an unforgiving man, hardened after years of working as a parole officer. Nearing retirement, he takes one last case. The man in question, Gerald “Stone” Creeson (Edward Norton), is a convicted arsonist up for his latest parole hearing, but full of his usual bravado and twisted logic. A decade earlier, he and his cousin broke into his grandparent’s home, murdered them and burned their house to the ground. Now, Stone insists that his beautiful but not-quite-there wife, Lucetta (Milla Jovovich), meet with Jack. Against his better judgment, Jack meets her one whisky-fuelled evening, and it soon becomes apparent that no one involved has pure intentions.

De Niro is riveting endowing his character with a flawed psyche that skews his decision-making and distorts his perspective. Distant and threatening to his own wife (Frances Conroy), he is an aging thug who suddenly finds a spark of light in his life. Norton plays Stone as a fascinating degenerate, kin to his early role in Primal Fear. And Jovovich curdles her character’s sweetness with a dark edge.

With all this acting prowess on display, Curran could be excused for sitting back and letting the performances do all the work. But he pays as close attention to the screenplay (he recently co-wrote Michael Winterbottom’s The Killer Inside Me), and, most impressively, to the sound design. Even with its dangerous and sometimes seamy characters, this is a film of insight, grace and precision.

In related news, WENN.com reports via IMDb that Stone’s production company Overture Films will be ceasing operations. According to the site, Relativity Media has taken over the company’s marketing and distribution operations, and although the company’s three upcoming films Stone, Let Me In and Jack Goes Boating, will be released as planned, Overture will shut down completely following their release.

Finally, we’ve updated the gallery with two new but small promotional stills of Milla as Lucetta in the film. They’re really very small, but they’re also the first ones we’ve had in a long time; hopefully, better-res ones will surface online soon.

Looks like Milla’s back in OKC! We once again have a couple of new tweets from Milla Jovovich herself via her verified Twitter account @MillaJovovich, tweeting news and updates from the Bringing Up Bobby set in Oklahoma City, OK.

Perhaps most noteworthily, Milla’s been tweeting some additional casting details on the upcoming, Famke Janssen directorial debut. In addition to the already previously announced Marcia Cross (Desperate Housewives), Milla says she will be joined on the OKC set by at least Bill Pullman (The Grudge) and Rory Cochrane (CSI: Miami, and his 1993 movie with Milla Dazed and Confused). The Internet Movie Database further lists child actor Spencer List and Ray Prewitt (Brothers) as confirmed cast members of the film.

Via Milla’s Twitter:

We’ve finally found a HQ streaming video clip of the full Resident Evil: Afterlife San Diego Comic-Con panel, as moderated by Ralph Garman of the Los Angeles radio station KROQ. The panel was attended by Milla Jovovich, co-stars Ali Larter and Wentworth Miller and writer-director Paul W.S. Anderson, who talked among other things about their passion for the Resident Evil film franchise and its fans, the actors’ approach to their respective characters, and filming in 3D and its challenges.

The below panel video from GameSpot.com is about 30 minutes long; it doesn’t feature the 3D trailer or the reported Comic-Con exclusive clip of the film’s Executioner scene, but does cover both the panel discussion and the fan Q&A, the latter of which comes in at about 15 minutes and is particularly worth a watch. Check it out below or on GameSpot.com:

Big thanks to our good friend Kate @ Resident Evil Web, we’ve updated the gallery with a great hi-res scan of Stone’s one-pager in the July 30 2010 issue of Entertainment Weekly (US). Although the movie blurb itself doesn’t really offer any new information on Milla Jovovich’s involvement in the John Curran-directed crime drama, it does come with the first two promotional stills from the movie, one of which features Milla as Lucetta. Be sure to have a look at our gallery!

Speaking of scans, we’ve also uploaded to the gallery Milla’s cover for the Polish Film July 2010 issue. You’ll recognize the cover pic from her Montblanc “Signature for Good” UNICEF Initiative campaign from last year.
