An early look at "Little Children" ( Winslet, Wilson, Connelly)

Check out the Oscar Igloo site (Oscar Predictions Site) http://www.theoscarigloo.com/

Click on the picture of Jennifer Connelly for a write up about "An Early Look At 'Little Children'". Really interesting writeup/predictions about how the film/actors will do for Awards. Very complimentary of Patrick:

"Second, I'm thinking "Little Children" will be the film that makes Patrick Wilson a bonafide respected actor and heartthrob among Hollywood's most sought after leading men. Movie stills for the film have already been released and feature a ripped muscled, shirtless Wilson holding a baby in one arm, with Winslet cladly dressed next to him with her child in her hand. The photo screams volumes of the edginess with which the film will be made. It's gonna be raw, and it's gonna be sexy, and Wilson fits the bill perfectly. In the film, Wilson plays Brad Adamson, a former college football star with killer looks who is now a stay-at-home dad having an affair with a woman (Winslet) he deems far less hot than his married. Brad (named Todd in the novel) is the kind of guy who gets turned on by the look of his muscles during and after a push up. He's not cocky. He's nice. But he's very good looking, and can get any girl he wants without so much as a second thought. Mostly, though, he's just a typical joe who doesn't know what the hell to do. I think Wilson can pull off the subtleties, honesty and nice-guy persona that make Brad so empathetic and appealing to readers of source."

Here's a direct link to the whole article: http://www.theoscarigloo.com/2006/breakingtheice/littlechildren.html

And Patrick is listed a possible contender for a "Best Supporting Actor" nod. If you click on that link at the main page you can see that his name is hi-lighted in red which means "Greatest Buzz Gainer".

Woo Hoo Mister Wilson!!!

This is supposed to premiere at the Toronto Film Festival. I am sooo there!

Callie Thompson is listed at IMDB as doing post-production voice work for "Little Children."

In on earlier post on that site, someone had spoken with the author, Tom Perrotta at a book signing. He said there was a third-person narration for the film. That would mean someone who wasn't one of the characters might be telling the story. Reminiscing about events in their neighborhood one summer?

I googled for images of "Callie Thompson" and she's a little girl. Here's a link to a page with her picture (scroll down, she's the 8th one on the righthand side).

It must be her because it lists the film that IMDB lists for her: Photosynthesis."
Could she be a voice for Lucy? Or another child in the neighborhood? Or be the voice of the little girl who Ronnie molested?

So many possibilities....
