The Ruins

Jena’s back on her feet and this time starring alongside Jonathon Tucker (The Texas Chainsaw Massacre) and Shawn Asmore, made famous for his role in the Xmen series as Iceman. The movie titled “The Ruins” is directed by Carter Smith, who has a background in fashion photography and is fairly new to the world of Hollywood.

The movie is currently in production mode and is set to be released in 2008. Here’s a snippet;

A group of friends whose leisurely Mexican holiday takes a turn for the worse when they, along with a fellow tourist embark on a remote archaeological dig in the jungle, where something evil lives among the ruins.

Jena in Container (2006)

Jena Malone has recently stared in a movie that’s referred to as “a black and white silent movie with sound”. The director Lukas Moodysson, was recently surprised when the film was accepted into the Berlin film festival. Jena’s role is the woman, who speaks words of wisdom throughout the film, in a husky like voice.

Luckily, Moodysson presented the film screening by giving some advice on how to view Container, telling the audience not to try to follow the whole thing from beginning to end. Instead, we should just drift in and out – or even fall asleep.

New Movie - Four Last Songs

Four Last Songs is about “a comic drama set on a Mediterranean island, where a motley collection of characters is seeking musical redemption.”

Ms Malone is doing a comic drama? Sounds interesting. I don’t recognize the rest of the cast, however it’s one to look out for. The movie is currently in post-production and should be out before the end of the year.

The Go-Getter starring Jena Malone

One of the movies that Jena is working on at the moment is called “The Go-Getter”, in which she play’s a charater called “Joely”. The movie is currently in Post-production mode, and no-one’s sure when it will be released, hopefully sometime this year.

Sources say footage was shot in Oregon, at the South Eugene High School and in the mojave desert. Other locations include L.A and Mexico!

Go-Getter is directed by Lucy Barzun who had previously worked as Co-producer on Pieces of April.

The Go-Getter plot outline

One of Jena’s new movies which is to be released later this year is titled “The Go-Getter”. Here’s a quick summary.

It’s about this kid, Mercer, (Lou Pucci) who’s on a journey looking for his half-brother, 20-years older than he, who left home years ago. He steals a car in Eugene, Oregon and then starts an unlikely relationship with the car’s owner, played by Zooey. Jena Malone’s character is an old friend who he looks up when he finds himself in Reno. Maura Tierney plays his brother’s ex-lover and Judy Greer makes an appearance at one of the many places he goes in search of his brother.

Donnie Darko Film Stills

Donnie Darko is one of those movies that just … trips the hell out of you. Now I’m normally a pretty cluey guy .. sometimes and when I saw this movie I had the biggest trip out. My friends had a bet to see whether I could understand the movie first go round. Well I lost. Second time round and I got the plot.

If you haven’t seen Donnie Darko then watch it. It’s artistic, full of emotion, throw in some drama and you’ve got a winner. It was first on my list to get the movie stills of this flick, and I’ve added a whole bunch courtesy of mwha!

Lying Film Stills & Review (2006)

Jena’s latest film, “Lying” has been a great hit so far in the film festival scene. Variety have pumped out a small review which features our beloved Jena Malone.

In a spacious country manse, hilltop-perched in what looks like upstate New York, Megan (Sevigny, in wafty mode) prepares the house for a visit from college student and co-worker Grace (Jena Malone, who’s starting to look with each pic more like Nicole Kidman’s belligerent kid sister), Grace’s friend Hella (Halley Wegryn Gross), and slightly older Linda (Maya Goldsmith), whom Megan knows from a yoga class in the city.
