17 Again

Got it goin' on
See, and all of you thought she was dead.
Kim Basinger, the star of Batman, Nine 1/2 Weeks and L.A. Confidential, is currently holding talks to star in Universal’s upcoming drama The Death And Life Of Charlie St Cloud.

Efron will play a cemetery caretaker who has weekly meetings with a lad who blames himself for an accidental death. <jazz hands>
The film is directed by 17 Again’s Burr Steers.
This isn’t new territory for Basinger who has also played mother-dearest to Eminem’s Jimmy ‘B-Rabbit’ Smith in 8 Mile.
I’m proud of myself for successfully avoiding Milf jokes….damn.

Instead, it has several sweet family moments and an ending I really thought pulled things together nicely. As for Zellweger, she's perfectly fine, but she has done little to really impress me since Cold Mountain in 2003 and of course Chicago one year earlier. However, »
