Get ready for Disney’s latest flick The Sorcerer’s Apprentice! Apple website is ready to give us a glimpse of the movie starring Nicholas Cage, Monica Bellucci and Alfred Molina and coming out in theatres across the world on july 16, 2010. A countdown to the release  of the first official trailer has in fact started on Apple.com, as the trailer is coming out tomorrow December 8, at 10pm EST. An official website for the movie is online also, but it is obviously not active yet.

Stay tuned on this page and on Monica-Bellucci.net and don’t miss it, we can’t wait  to see how Monica’s latest project looks like!

According to website Sofia OGGI, Ms. Bellucci might be visiting Bulgaria next year in order to attend the Karin Models contest in Varna, during the month of August. This is just a rumour, so nothing’s certain yet.

Also, Monique got invited to join the cast of a new movie (the title is Segno di Dio, based on the novel by Ilia Velchev) that will be shooting in Bulgaria as well.

Monica’s in Bucharest

November 13, 2009

Our beautiful Monique was spotted having dinner with a friend in Bucharest.

As you probably already know, Ms. Bellucci is currently filming The Whistleblower, a drama film starring Rachel Weisz, Vanessa Redgrave and David Strathairn.

According to this article, our beautiful and talented Monica will be starring in a new movie project alongside Oscar winner Rachel Weisz (The Constant Gardener, Constantine), Vanessa Redgrave (Evening, Atonement), David Strathairn (Good Night, and Good Luck, The Bourne Ultimatum) and Serbian actor Sergej Trifunovic.

The title of this new film is The Whistleblowers, which is a slang word for those who cause uproar. It will be directed by Larysa Kondracki, a young director and script writer from Ukraine. It is based on a true story, and follows the life of Kathryn (played by Rachel Weisz), a clerk employed in the UN in Bosnia during the war. She discovers what is happening on the so-called Arizona market, the base of KFOR, on the territory of Bosnia and Herzegovina, where bracelets and discs are sold during the day, while at night its main activity consists in human trafficking for the whole region. The UN soldiers earn a significant sum of money for their share in that business. As a reward, Kathryn gets “fired”, and the whole case is hidden from the public eye. Trifunovic plays the role of a Bosnian policeman, the only person willing to help her.

Although at this time we can not confirm the news, it definitely seems like a very interesting project. Plus, the cast is really awsome. It will be nice to see Monica working on screen with A-list stars such as Weisz, Redgrave and Strathairn.

Italian medias are reporting that Mrs. Bellucci won’t show up at the Rome Film Festival on october 16, to promote Franco Zeffirelli’s Omaggio a Roma. Instead, according to the schedule she is going to stay in Sydney, where the filming of Get It At Goode’s should begin this month.

We would like to send our condolence to the Gildoni and Bellucci families for the death of Valerio Gildoni.

Valerio Gildoni – son of Paola Bellucci, Monica’s aunt – was part of Carabinieri Corps in Vicenza, where last week he was fatally shot by a mentally instable old man who baricated himself inside of his house.

Our prayers are with his family and friends.

In a story from Variety, Screen Media Films will be distributing The Private Lives of Pippa Lee. The film will come out theatrically in October.
