MoviesOnline sat down last weekend with Paul Haggis at the Los Angeles press day for his new film, “In the Valley of Elah,” which he wrote, directed, and produced. The suspense drama tells the story of a father’s (Tommy Lee Jones) search for his missing son, a soldier who is reported AWOL after recently returning from Iraq. Susan Sarandon and Charlize Theron also star. Haggis wrote two Best Film Oscar winners back-to-back: “Million Dollar Baby” (2004) and “Crash” (2005). For “Crash,” Haggis won Academy Awards for Best Picture and Best Original Screenplay, though the film also received an additional four nominations, including one for Haggis’ direction. “Crash” reaped numerous awards during its year of release from associations such as the IFP Spirit Awards, the Screen Actors Guild, and BAFTA.

You may have already seen this info over at Charlize Baby, but I thought I’d post it here too, just in case you missed it. Collider.com has posted 4 clips from the film on their site (click here to view) and ExtraTV.com has posted an interview clip (click here to view) with Charlize where she dispels all those rumors that have been flying around that she and Stuart are engaged.

Tona and I have also added some photos of Charlize at the ‘In the Valley of Elah’ photocall on the 26th.

If you’re wondering who I am – I am Tona. Stef and I decided to merge charlizefan.org and Charlize Central to one big fansite. A new layout for the site will complete it in a few days. I run iheartanna.org and nora-z.com.
I’ve updated the gallery with a few pictures and more will follow soon.

New photos of Charlize and Will Smith on the set of ‘Hancock’ from yesterday have been added to the gallery. Thanks goes out to Mariana for providing them.

I also uploaded a few new icons to the fan art archive last night. Hopefully inspiration will strike again soon and I’ll be able to make a few more.

A few more scans have been added to the gallery over past couple of days for your viewing pleasure. Enjoy!

I finally had a chance to catch up on some scanning this weekend, so keep your eyes peeled for many more scans over the next few days. For now though, I’ve uploaded the following scans:

Esquire – September 2007 (Sexiest Woman Alive Part 3)

I stumbled across this last night and immediately thought it was Charlize. Based on the legs for days and the inner ankle tattoo featured in the photo below, it certainly looks like it could be her and if you put that together with the clues below, it certainly sounds an awful lot like her as well. There will be more clues over the coming months, so stay tuned and feel free to post your comments below.

The Sexiest Woman Alive 2007: Part One

She drinks Gibsons, could be mistaken for one of the Judd sisters, and makes a mean lamb chop. Who is she?

The road to total revealment kicks off this month — with the tangle of clues above and a few hints from someone intimately acquainted with our mystery woman. Who better to divulge the secrets of the Sexiest Woman Alive than her most trusted confidante, her sounding board, the wind beneath her wings? (Sadly, no, this year’s SWA is not Bette Midler.) So we spoke confidentially to her best pal and shook her down.

How long have you known xxxxxxx?

Six years. An acquaintance told me about her, and I kind of wrote her off, because I thought she was tall, beautiful, and Hollywood. I figured, I know who she is. In fact, she is all of those things and much more.

I’ve just added 128 new photos of Charlize and Jason Bateman on the set of last night’s ‘Hancock’ shoot. They look adorable together strolling around on the beach eating ice cream with a little boy and a dog. I’m assuming the little boy is playing their son because he appears in most of the photos with them and he and Charlize are sharing ice cream in a few photos as well. Please note that this is just my take on the photos, not official information. Click here or on the previews below to view the full set. Happy viewing!

Edit: Thanks to Mariana, we now have 14 more on-set photos from yesterday afternoon. Click here or on the previews below to view the full set.

The official ‘In the Valley of Elah’ site has finally been launched and contains the film synopsis, trailer and stills from the film. Click here or on on the image below to be directed to the site and have a look around.

As you may have noticed, the gallery is now back online with a shiny new layout made by Mycah. Isn’t it so pretty? Quite a few new photoshoots have been added, the film section has been cleaned up a bit and the sections have been broken down a bit more for easier viewing of cover art, stills, etc. I tried to make sure that all dead links were removed, as well as broken images, etc. However, if you happen upon anything that I may have missed, please let me know and I’ll fix it.

The one thing you will all likely find disappointing about the clean up is that all of the candids (except for “on set” photos from films, tv, etc.) have been removed. I have always felt guilty about having them in the gallery because Charlize and Stuart really dislike the paparazzi and having their privacy invaded, but I continued to post them because everyone enjoys candids. My decision to remove them came when the couple was stalked by the paparazzi on their vacation in Belize. Yes, I’m guilty of posting the link over to JustJared for everyone to check out, but the link has since been removed and no more candids of them out and about will be posted here because I don’t wish to disrespect them in that way. I truly admire them both and don’t want to be a party to the continued invasion of their private lives. I hope you will all understand and respect this decision.
