The Shipping News:
Cate Blanchett has also joined the cast. She will be the one to play the

Hannibal is Causing People to Faint

People who have seen Hannibal, describe it as one of the most terrifying films
they have ever seen. It has also been said that the film is so gruesome that
it's causing some fans to faint. Director Ridley Scott admits that some scenes
are proving too much for fans. In an interview he gave (along with Julianne,
Hopkins and screenwriter Steven Zaillian) he explains:
"Two people were in a screening recently, and one of them fainted during the
dining table scene. She had become very tense watching Julianne running in
the woods and also when she was alone in her house. Those are both
suspenseful scenes."

THE HOURS
Turns out that Julianne won't be the one to play the role of Virginia Woolf in
her upcoming movie "The Hours". In an interview I found at IGN Filmforce,
she states that her character's name is Laura, so I guess she plays Laura
Brown, the L.A. housewife in 1950, in the second story. Nicole Kidman will
play Virginia Woolf, and finally, Meryl Streep will play Mara Day, the woman
who's planning a party for her former lover in 1990s New York.
