Disney wants to make Emma Watson to play the lead role in the studio’s live-action remake of Cinderella. If Watson is successful in getting the role, she will star opposite Cate Blanchett, who has already agreed to play Cinderella’s evil stepmother.
The latest draft of the script was penned by The Twilight Saga: New Moon director Chris Weitz. Hopefully she can be successful in this new role.

Long Beach Arena in Long Beach will have six performances only of Dralion from November 1 – 4. Fusing the 3000 year-old tradition of Chinese acrobatic arts with the multidisciplinary approach of Cirque du Soleil, Dralion (pronounced “Dra-lee-on”) draws its inspiration from Eastern philosophy and its never-ending quest for harmony between humans and nature.
The show’s name is derived from its two emblematic creatures: the dragon, symbolizing
the East, and the lion, symbolizing the West. In Dralion, the four elements that govern the natural order take on a human form. Thus embodied, each element is represented by its own evocative color: air is blue; water is green; fire is red; earth is ochre. In the world of Dralion, cultures blend, Man and Nature are one, and balance is achieved. The best part is when the ‘clowns’ have the humor for an adult subtlety to it but is a familiar show. There is not so much a narrative story-line to Dralion as other shows similar to this one. However, it has exotic elements, clever clowning, world class acts of amazing skill and lovely grace of 52 world-class acrobats, gymnasts, musicians, singers and comedic characters with beautifully evocative music, elegant costumes and many dancing dragons. Sometimes some people couldn’t applaud at the end of an act because most of them were too amazed- just sat there, trying to process what they had just seen, as a spectator you will have a wonderful time!

Martin lives in Paris with Claire, although the passion has gone out of their relationship. When he learns of the death of his mother, Martin returns to his home town in California to take care of the legal formalities. Shortly after his arrival, he meets up with Linda, an old family friend who takes him to his mother’s apartment in an area he got to know well when he was living with her. Immediately, he experiences a resurgence of childhood memories. The ensuing emotional crisis drives him to Tijuana, where he hopes to find Lola, a young Mexican woman he once knew and who occupied an important part in his mother’s life. He finds her at the Americano, a nightclub where she dances every evening.
Martin brings a heart touching when he receives news that his mother has died in the United States despite of he hasn’t felt a connection to his mother in years many memories and how he might be able to recreate his mother and the impression comes back again.
All the main actors were: Mathieu Demy, Salma Hayek, Geraldine Chaplin and more. The plot is somewhat predictable, but is deeply moving drama especially in some interesting aspects and many subjects are involved in this movie such as prostitution, emotional journeys, sadness, robbery, death, depression and so on. Hayek’s role is another stripper character with no changes to her previous roles. Martin’s shows a deep voyage between past and present (something that anyone’s can suffer in anytime of life).
