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.

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.

Deadline is exclusively reporting that Rachel is in talks to join Emma Stone and Bradley Cooper in the Untitled Cameron Crowe project.

What a cast Cameron Crowe and producer Scott Rudin have cooked up for the film they are prepping at Sony Pictures. Rachel McAdams is in talks to star with Bradley Cooper and Emma Stone. McAdams will play a former lover of Cooper’s character. They’re keeping the plot specifics under wraps, but the role McAdams is negotiation for is a great part and the movie is funny and romantic, with a tone similar to past Crowe films Jerry Maguire and Almost Famous. Crowe wrote the script and will direct the film beginning in October. McAdams is repped by UTA and Magnolia Entertainment.

We already speculated about this a few weeks ago when Rachel was seen meeting with Cameron Crowe and Bradley Cooper in Boston. We have the rumored plot in our previous post.

Interbridge is reporting that Rachel will make an appearance on “Jimmy Kimmel Live” this Monday, April 8th. Check your local listing for the time, and we will try to give you our coverage of her appearance as soon as possible. We assume she will promote “To The Wonder” which will hit selected theaters and will get a VOD release next Friday, April 12.

I have to admit, I’m pleasantly surprised when I saw this. I wasn’t expecting promotion of Rachel for this movie since her screen time is between 10-15 (judging on the reviews). Let’s hope she will do more promotion for the movie next week!

The paparazzi photographed Rachel and writer/director Cameron Crowe going for a walk in Boston on Saturday (March 23). We are not allowed to post these on our site, but we will link you to them as soon as another site publishes them. She was spotted later that day with her “Wedding Crashers” co-star Bradley Cooper, who is in Boston to film the untitled David O. Russell project. A fan shared a photo with Rachel on her twitter account that Bradley took of them together.

Emma Stone was also spotted and photographed in Boston on Saturday. Emma and Bradley are currently set to star in the untitled Cameron Crowe Project. We are assuming that they are doing pre-production work for the movie while Bradley is in Boston. The movie is expected to start filming in the Spring of this year.

The Untitled Cameron Crowe project is a rewrite of his 2008 “Deep Tiki” script, you can read a review of the old script, which includes the plot line, over here. Rachel’s attachment to this project is probably in the very early stages, and that’s why I was a little bit hesitant to make this post in the first place, but we take is as a good sign that she met with the director.

The UK website ibtimes.co.uk is reporting that Rachel is one of the contenders for the adaption of Gillian Flynn’s “Gone Girl“. They report that Emily Blunt is currently top contender for the movie. Reese Witerspoon is producing the movie.

The novel gains much of its suspense from switching between the perspective of a husband whose wife goes missing, and the missing wife herself. Other contenders for the starring role include Charlize Theron and Rachel McAdams, with Mad Men star Jon Hamm, Ryan Gosling and X-Men actor Michael Fassbender rumoured to be in the running for lead man.

Keep in mind that you should consider this as a rumor since I am not sure how reliable the source is and it seems more like an interpretation of what fans of the book want. I did decided to post it on here anyway, because various media outlets – including National Post – suggested before that Rachel would be a perfect fit for the female lead.

Today is a very special day because Rachel turns 34! We want to wish Rachel a very happy birthday! We hope she will have a wonderful day with her family and friends. She recently wrapped up filming “A Most Wanted Man” so she can hopefully enjoy her birthday with her loved ones. Popsugar, Elle Magazine, Instyle, and Celebuzz did a nice special to celebrate Rachel’s birthday, so be sure to check them out!

To celebrate Rachel’s birthday we decided to do something special. As you may have noticed we put our media archive on maintenance mode since last week because we did a major revamp. We switched to a different system, so it’s easier to maintain, organize and visit. It’s a lot of work to move the +500 videos from our old archive to the new one, so we will slowly work on it the next weeks/months but it will be worth it in the end.

I want to give a special thank you to my friend Luciana from Jessica-Chastain.com for helping me out with the archive.

Back in August we reported that Rachel was attached to star in the bio-picture “Maudie“, which tells the story of the late Canadian folk artist Maud Lewis. The movie hit the International Financing Forum (IFF), presented by Ontario Media Development Corporation (OMDC), during the Toronto International Film Festival in September to find funding.

The official OMDC news letter is reporting that “Maudie” is one of the 14 movies that found funding during the IFF. A total of $2.6 million was awarded to assist in the production and development financing of all 14 movies. The movie will be produced by Mary Young Leckie and Heather Haldane from Screen Door Inc. and will be directed by Jean-Francois Pouliot.

The press release didn’t confirm that Rachel is still attached to star, but I assume she is. The movie has been around since 2009, but it looks like it’s finally getting made with Rachel’s involvement. I came across another plot description of the movie:

Maudie is a coming of age story about a famous artist who learns to overcome her handicap and discover who she truly is through her art and an unlikely love interest.

The movie is expected to start principal photography next year. Be sure to read our previous post with more details about the plot in case you missed it.

Julia Roberts (“Nothing Hill”, “Erin Brockovich”) recently did an interview with the Canadian Hello! magazine. She was asked to name actors who she would love to work with and she mentioned Rachel and Jessica Chastain:

Are there other actors you’d love to work with?
There are so many. I think Rachel McAdams is great, always consistently interesting. Jessica Chastain is another one. I thought she was fabulous in The Debt.

Julia recently produced “Jesus Henry Christ” which stars Rachel’s boyfriend Michael Sheen. This is not the first time Julia mentions Rachel, a few years ago she also revealed that she thought Rachel was one of the most promising actors of her generation. Fun fact: Julia’s niece Emma Roberts considers Rachel as one of her favorite actresses and recently wrote on twitter that she thought Rachel deserved an Oscar for her role in “Mean Girls“.

The Tracking Board is reporting that Rachel is in early talks to join the adaption of the graphic novel “Cold City” (originally titled “The Coldest City“). Director Daniel Espinosa is also in talks for the project.

Rachel McAdams has entered early talks to star in the upcoming Oni comic book adaptation COLD CITY.

The project, which is also in talks with director Daniel Espinosa (Easy Money, Safe House), centers on a young female MI6 agent who is sent undercover into Berlin during the Cold War to investigate the murder of a fellow officer over a rumored list of double agents. McAdams would play the lead, with casting lists currently being prepped for the other leading roles.

Oni Comics’ production arm Closed on Mondays will produce the film. Their work includes “Scott Pilgrim vs. the World” and a dozen or so in development projects including Universal’s “Resurrection” and recent “Young & Hungry” lister Paul J. Salamoff’s upcoming “The Last Breath”.

McAdams and Espinosa are both repped by UTA and Magnolia Entertainment.

It was previously reported that Rachel is also attached to star in “Maudie“. Filming for “A Most Wanted Man” kicked off yesterday in Hamburg (Germany). You can find the official plot description of “Cold City” after the jump.
