Anna Paquin film put on hold after twins' birth

Anna Paquin's next movie project has been put on hold after the actress gave birth to twins. Paquin, who delivered the newborns over the summer, has been cast as a call girl alongside Tom Hiddleston in upcoming crime thriller Black Wings Has My Angel . Hiddleston is set to star as a criminal who attempts an armed robbery, but he admits the film has been put on the back burner while the True Blood star enjoys her maternity break. He tells the Associated Press, " Black Wings Has My Angel is based on a novel by Elliott Chaze, it's a sort of noir thriller. It's a great script. I signed onto it a long, long time ago. "Anna Paquin was going to play opposite me, she's had a baby (sic), so being a mum is much more important than being whatever that low life character is. It was a sort of fun noir thing, but it's way, way off in the future." Paquin's two new arrivals are her first kids with husband and True Blood co-star Stephen Moyer. WENN.com

Film on hold after Paquin has twins

Tom Hiddleston has revealed his next film project has been put on hold after co-star Anna Paquin became a mum.

No Dredd in gritty role

Olivia Thirlby has one of those faces. You know you've seen her before, but can't pinpoint where. She played Ellen Page's gal-pal in Juno, Natalie Portman's sister in No Strings Attached and Anna Paquin's bestie in the acclaimed drama Margaret. If you still can't put the face to the characters, don't worry; you'll be seeing a lot more of the doe-eyed 26-year-old in any of her six films out in the next 12 months. It's with a sense of justice, then, that the sweet, hardworking actress not only gets her first lead role in the darker, grittier Judge Dredd reboot Dredd 3D, but steals the show as Dredd's (Karl Urban) rookie psychic partner. "It was really a no-brainer," Thirlby says of the switch from support to lead actor. "I made my decision based on the script that Alex Garland (28 Days Later) wrote. I was drawn in from the first few moments of reading it and was making audition tapes to get the role. It was an exciting opportunity to...
