5 Most Outrageous Pieces of Jewelry Used in Movies

November 2, 2015 By Truman

Everyone knows that the star-studded life can be more than a little diamond-studded. But sometimes the jewelry pieces chosen by directors can be more than a little outrageous when you see them on-screen. Sometimes the jewelry is exorbitantly expensive, sometimes obsessed over and other times it is simply beautiful. Included here are a few of the most outrageous pieces of jewelry that have been used on the big screen.

Keira Knightley’s Brooch

Keira Knightley was incredibly memorable in her portrayal of Anna Karenina, but perhaps did not shine quite as brightly as the diamonds. Knightly called up her connections at Chanel to gain access to jewelry for the movie, and boy, did they put out! Knightly wore a brooch in a scene where she is home and supposedly pregnant that was worth over $2.5 million. In addition to this brooch, Knightley revelled in the wearing of multiple other million dollar necklaces during filming. [Read more…]

Cloud Atlas Directors Talk of Their Film, Lana Wachowski Appears

July 31, 2012 By Truman

One of the most anticipated films this year is the film adaptation of author David Mitchell’s expansive fiction novel Cloud Atlas. The new film is a very ambitious one especially since the source material has a depth and breadth that is a gargantuan challenge to put on screen.

To fully control and steer such an ambitious film project, three directors decided to pull their talents together to make the movie – Tom Tykwer and the Wachowski Brothers. Tykwer is known for his wonderfully kinetic German film Run Lola Run, and the Wachowskis have already indelibly left their mark in fans’ minds with The Matrix trilogy. [Read more…]

Titanic Coming Back in 3D

July 25, 2009 By Polly

“Every night in my dreams I see you, I feeeel you…” Still really sticks once it you remember the titanic of a film – “Titanic”. Well next year a new crop of teenage girls will surely go crazy over the film since it is being remade into a 3D movie.

I know there would be people out there who’ll be less than enthusiastic about the news. But who cares? For girly girls like me who swooned and cried repeatedly during the countless time we saw the film back when we were in high school there’s no doubt that we’ll be awaiting the 3D remake of “Titanic”. For those involved in the film who’ll be making a titanic of a paycheck again once the blockbuster comes out, we can also be sure that they’ll probably be even more excited about the return of “Titanic”. The only one I can really think of who will benefit from the film that might not be too thrilled about its return would be Leo di Caprio simply because he is sooo over the crazy attention, especially from the paparazzi, from being a huge star. Of course he’s grown up a lot and should be able to handle the paparazzi thing now so maybe he isn’t to averse to the idea of “Titanic” coming back to make him the center of attention once more.

As for the actual 3D experience I am yet uncertain as to how that will pan out. Pretty sure that the once the boat starts sinking 3D aspect will make it more exciting but for the first part I don’t see how it’ll make much of a difference. Maybe cinemas should turn on fans (as in electric fans) during the famous “I’m flying” scene with Jack and Rose. Now THAT would be immersive.
