Evening Standard is reporting that “About Time” will premiere during the Film4 Summer Screen Festival at Somerset House in London. The festival is held in August and tickets go on sale these friday. For more information go to the official website of the festival.

After blockbuster hits such as Notting Hill and Love Actually, Richard Curtis’s films took a more serious turn.

But now the master of romantic comedy has returned to his roots with a light-hearted film about time travel.

About Time, starring Bill Nighy, Rachel McAdams and Domhnall Gleeson, son of actor Brendan, tells the story of a 21-year-old who discovers he can travel in time and change his life and decides to try to get a girlfriend.

Curtis’s credits also include Black-adder, Mr Bean and The Vicar of Dibley and the screenplay for Bridget Jones’s Diary, but his recent projects, such as The Girl in the Cafe, set against the backdrop of a G8 summit, and Mary and Martha, about preventing malaria, have followed more serious themes.

Producer Tim Bevan today said there has been a gap in the romantic comedy market of the same “pedigree” as Love Actually, Notting Hill and Four Weddings And A Funeral.

Empire Magazine is reporting that footage of “A Most Wanted Man” was shown to industry people yesterday at the Cannes Film Festival. The footage was part of Film4′s Slate 2013 reel presented by Tessa Ross.

Film4’s contribution to British cinema over the past few decades has been virtually unparalleled – and, judging by the slate we saw previewed today here in Cannes, that’s not about to change in a hurry.

At a lunch at Film4′s Cannes HQ (sadly, not a building in the shape of a giant four – they’re slipping up), Film4’s Tessa Ross, who won a Bafta earlier in the year, cued up a showreel that contained brief glimpses at around a dozen forthcoming Film4 titles. The future is bright. Here’s a film-by-film rundown.

A Most Wanted Man
Anton Corbijn’s spy thriller, about a Chechen Muslim who becomes the subject of serious interest from German and US spy agencies when he illegally immigrates to Hamburg, was harder to get a handle on. But it looked as stylish as you might expect, there were brief looks at the key players, including Rachel McAdams, Daniel Brühl and Willem Dafoe, we got to hear Phillip Seymour Hoffman rocking a German accent, and there was a bit of business with someone being bundled into a car. It may be too early to dub this one this year’s Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, but the signs are there.

The movie is still without an U.S. distributor, but has found distributors in basically every other part of the world at last year’s Cannes market. The movie is again part of the market at Cannes, so let’s hope it will find an U.S. distributor soon!

“Passion” will be released in August of this year in the U.S. The distributor confirmed this to our twitter account. The official facebook account for the movie mentions August 1st VOD release and August 31st theatrical release, but those seem generic dates to me. Let’s hope we will get an official announcement with firm release dates soon!

The movie premiered during the Venice Film Festival last year, followed by a Toronto and New York Film Festival premiere.

More additional “To The Wonder” production stills and official on set stills are added in our gallery. The movie is still playing in selected theaters in the U.S. and is expected to be released in many European and Asian countries in the coming months.

She is in talks for the Untitled Cameron Crowe project, which will start production in the fall as well.

St. Thomas Time Journals is reporting that Rachel will be regonized by St. Thomas’ Timken Centre Wall of Fame. Rachel grew up in St. Thomas (Canada) and moved to Toronto to attend York University. Thanks to Tim for the heads up!

A little bit of Tinsel Town is coming to the Timken Centre.

When council meets on Tuesday, members will be asked to approve a recommendation that Rachel McAdams be recognized on the Wall of Fame in the Timken Centre.

The popular actor would be the third recipient to be featured on the wall of achievement, with the unveiling to take place 5:30 p.m. June 13. Although she will not be present, family members will be attending on her behalf.

Is this the best day or what? Yahoo! Movies exclusively released the U.S. trailer for “About Time” only a few hours after the international/uk trailer for the movie was released.
