We recently came across a photo of Rachel and Channing Tatum with the family Carpenter taking while “The Vow” was filming in Chicago around October of 2010 while doing some background source for the information page of the movie. “The Vow” is currently set to release February 10, 2012 and it officially wrapped late october 2010.

The movie is based on the true story of Kim and Krickitt Carpenter, so it’s great to see they are involved in the filming process as well. Krickitt wrote a little bit about meeting Rachel: “She is gorgeous. Just darling. Both of them [Rachel & Channing Tatum] are great.” Entertainment Weekly previously released the first production still. The full photo can be viewed in our gallery.

We added four new high quality production stills of Rachel as Inez in “Midnight in Paris“, thanks to Nick for the heads up. She looks absolutely stunning in all of them, and by the looks of the trailer and previous released production still this movie is going to be amazing. Rachel is expected to attend Film Festival Cannes 2011 according to Woody Allen himself were “Midnight in Paris” is going to be Opening Film for the festival on May 11th. The movie will get a limited release (New York and LA) on May 20th.

We continue our “The Passion” coverage because today is the 3th and final day of the theater event. You can read Day 1 and Day 2 in our previous posts. We found the first fan photo of Rachel with one lucky fan of today in our gallery, she looks stunning. It really shows how much she cares about her fans to take the time for photos.

Keep a close eye on this post, we will update it with more coverage because the final production is still going on as we write this. Follow our twitter @rachelmonline for the latest sightings.

Update: We added a new photo of Rachel on April 25th (Monday) during a special ceremony were Michael planted a tree to celebrate “The Passion” event. BBC posted an article about “The Passion” and it’s mentions Rachel as well. Apparently Rachel joined Michael and his co-stars to line dance, the video can be watched inside. So the rumors about Rachel appearing in “The Supper” turned out to be half true: she joined Sheen shortly for the line dance.

There was one more band: local guys Weird Naked Indian played their own track followed by Lord Help, a Tom Jones cover from the last album, to which Sheen, his co-actors and his girlfriend Rachel McAdams all line danced in the club, with most of the guests joining in.

The second day of “The Passion” in Port Talbot is today and Rachel was spotted yet again in the crowd for the second day of productions. The day is still going on as we speak, so we may update this post with more additions later on. We added two seven new fan photos of Rachel from today, she looks absolutely stunning and we hope she is enjoying her time and doesn’t get bothered to much.

Update: We reported before it was a rumor Rachel would appear in “The Supper” production, but we haven’t spotted her in the photos. So it’s safe to say it’s a rumor, apparently Rachel’s “Sherlock Holmes” co-star Jude Law showed up last night to watch a production himself. Tomorrow is the last day of this amazing event, let’s hope we will catch a glimpse of Rachel again.

Rachel was spotted in the crowd for the opening scene of “The Passion“, directed and starring Michael Sheen. “The Passion” is a 3 day theater event that centers on a teacher, played by Michael Sheen. Rumor has it she will make a ‘surprise’ appearance during Saturdays’ “The Last Supper” production because she was seen multiple times during rehearsals for the production (this week and earlier in February) but still no official confirmation.

Portalbotmagnet.com had a little interview with Rachel about her experience of the opening scene: “It was stunning, it was like the perfect morning for a baptism.” She will be visiting all the production throughout the weekend. You can listen to the full interview (only about 40 seconds) below.

Just came across the first official “Midnight in Paris” behind the scenes production still, via the official Spanish facebook account, with Rachel, Owen Wilson and Woody Allen. We added the still in our gallery, let’s hope more content will be released soon. Woody Allen recently confirmed in an interview (with a French website) Rachel McAdams will attend Film Festival Cannes 2011 but still isn’t sure about Marion Cotillard and Carla Bruni. Cannes is held from May 11 until May 22 and the film is the opening film so we can expect to see Rachel May 11th. The US release (limited) is May 20th in LA and New York.

We added the magazine scans of Rachel in the French Première in our gallery, thanks to Camillou. She spoke to the magazine while she was in Paris to promote “Morning Glory“. We tried to translate the interview into english, but since I use my ‘high-school French’ it’s not perfect and loosely translated but it’s a really nice interview and definitely worth the read. She explains the career choices the makes and wants to make, and finding the balance between work and her personal life.

You travel a lot, you are popular, respected in the industry, featured in a big movie like Morning Glory but haven’t become a complete celebrity. Do you think it’s better like that?
It’s hard to find a balance. You have to be present in a effective way, so the public wants to go and see your movies when they come out. You have to create the desire but not extend it so people will get tired of you … It’s really difficult to become an actor who can make a living for themselves by acting. I never wanted to be famous, I never seek for the attention, the public loves the glitter and glamor. In the past, an actor could be successful while maintaining a private life.

This is happening for you, right?
Yes, but for that I force myself not to be socially involved in Hollywood, if I did so I would probably have more work then I wanted. Because if you disappear for a long time from the radar, you get off the radar completely … It’s the balance I mentioned before that I am trying to achieve. And if that means you will never become a actor like Nicole Kidman or Julia Robers I am fine with that. It’s the career that suits me more. I want my privacy.

We have a brand new layout for our photo gallery made by the talented Laura of Raspberry Crush Designs, it’s a little bit more spring/summer-ish then our previous layout. Let us know what you think of the layout and if you find any errors. We used outtakes from Rachel’s Marie Claire cover from 2009.

We continue (Part 1) our “Morning Glory” Media Archive additions with new interviews we added recently of Rachel promoting the movie in New York (November 2010), Madrid and Paris (January 2011). With all the promotion it was kind of hard to keep up with all of it, if you still find missing interviews drop us a line.
