Emma Watson and Ethan Hawke have signed on for Alejandro Amenábar’s Regression, per press release today from the Weinstein Company. The film, whose storyline is currently being kept under wraps, is based on an original screenplay from the Chilean-born multi-hyphenate, and will mark a return for Amenábar to the thriller genre, where he previously had great success with the Nicole Kidman-starring The Others, which grossed over $200 million worldwide.
“I am passionate about Alejandro and his work, and am so happy to be collaborating with him,” said Watson in the statement. “I’m really excited by the challenge my character presents to me as an actress… I can’t wait to begin.” The film will shoot later this year, and be released by the Weinstein Company-Dimension in 2015.

Taking a Limo Ride With the Ladies of Best Night Ever
Riding around Hollywood in a stretch limousine with actresses Crista Flanagan, Samantha Colburn, Desiree Hall and Eddie Ritchard, it seems oddly appropriate, almost fated, that a hitch truck with a single, upright port-a-potty — almost posed, in glorious artistic exhibit — pulls up next to us at a stoplight. After all, the women of Best Night Ever — a debauched road trip movie which finds a bride-to-be and her three friends descending upon Las Vegas — grapple with unwanted bodily excretions, Jello wrestling and much more in the film. (They also get kicked out of strip clubs, get mugged, kidnap a valet, get boozy, take drugs and croon some 4 Non Blondes, for good measure.) I recently had the chance to catch up with the ladies, and talk with them about their movie, women’s relationship to scatological humor, cupcakes and strip clubs, and what they really think of Las Vegas. The conversation is excerpted over at ShockYa, so click here for the read.
