Win Dope The Wackness Goodies!
Calling all UK-based TeamSugar members!
It's no secret that The Wackness (out August 29) is one of my favourite films of the summer, and now I have a couple of film-related goodies for you to win! Five lucky TeamSugar members will win a limited edition t-shirt printed with a quote from the movie – "Sometimes it's right to do the wrong things" – of which only 100 have been made, as well as the novelisation of the film!
Mary-Kate Talks Movies, Moving On and Making Out
Mary-Kate Olsen is currently promoting The Wackness, a movie she fleetingly but memorably appears in alongside Sir Ben Kingsley, Olivia Thirlby and Josh Peck. We caught up with the diminutive starlet and asked her about her experiences of filming the movie, her decision to step away from her child-star roots and making out with Sir Ben Kingsley. Here's what she told us:
- How did you get involved in The Wackness?
Pop Preview: The Wackness
NB: I was lucky enough to catch a screening of this indie movie back in early June, and was so taken with it that I posted the preview for you back then. The movie's coming out this Friday, so here's a reminder / rundown of what I thought of it!
First things first: The Wackness is dope.
PopSugar UK's Must Haves For August
I'm looking forward to the DVD release of a couple of awesome TV shows this month, as well as the TV premiere of a top show's second series. I'm also excited about an eagerly-awaited book and album, and a fantastic film is hitting the big screen too. To see what I'm adding to my shopping cart and watching on the big and small screens this August just hit "Start."
Ben Brings The Wackness To Britain
Sir Ben Kingsley attended a screening of The Wackess in London this week, kicking off promotion on this side of the pond for the awesome indie movie that's out on August 29. As you know, I have a lot of love for this film set in the hot New York summer of 1994, which is currently on limited release in the US and slowly opening in more cities as the weeks go on. Ben was accompanied by his supportive wife Daniela at the London screening, but I think it would be fantastic if we get a glimpse at his co-stars Josh Peck, Olivia Thirlby and Mary-Kate Olsen on our shores too in the coming weeks!
Mary-Kate and Sir Ben Join the Dope Show
With an adorable film gem under their (rather large in Mary-Kate Olsen's case) belts, the cast of The Wackness are promoting like crazy in the US at the moment ahead of their July release date. Last night The Cinema Society screened the movie and, unlike the LA premiere, Sir Ben Kingsley and Mary-Kate showed up to take part in the festivities. Mary-Kate rocked two outfits (a la Sienna Miller at The Edge Of Love London premiere) – one for the red carpet and a more colourful mini dress for the afterparty, Fab UK wants to know which on you prefer!
The Wackness Goes LA
The New York-set movie The Wackness had its LA premiere last night at the Los Angeles Film Festival and some of the cast of my Top Pop Preview showed up to support their indie gem. Sadly Mary-Kate Olsen wasn't there to show off her kooky cool fashion sense, but her equally awesome co-star Olivia Thirlby brought some cute indie-girl chic to the red carpet. The film's star Josh Peck grinned his sweet cheshire cat grin in front of the cameras and then caught up with another former child star Hilary Duff at the afterparty.
The Wackness Trailer: Love it or Leave it?
My girl Buzz is at the Tribeca Film Festival in New York at the moment, seeing all the best upcoming movies. The Wackness is one she really enjoyed – she said,
"It's funny, it's got that tender boy-grows-up storyline, and there's plenty of sex, drugs and a ridiculously awesome, rap-heavy soundtrack."
Starring Sir Ben Kingsley, Josh Peck, Olivia Thirlby and Method Man, I've been looking forward to it for a while.
Blake, Zoe & Mary-Kate Don Their LBDs At Tribeca
Mary-Kate Olsen has been at the Tribeca Film Festival in New York this week, as well as my girl Buzz, who really enjoyed her latest movie The Wackness (not that she's in it a whole lot...). Mary-Kate showed up for the Chanel dinner at the film festival last night, looking beautiful in basic black, along with my (current) favourite Gossip Girl Blake Lively.
Zoe Kravitz, the gorgeous daughter of Lenny, also continued the monochrome theme in her black dress and white bag – I think the trio all look beautiful, what's your favourite look?
