If the buzz on the movie is legit, we could be seeing rather a lot of them in the next six months. I hope she finds a loophole in that Chanel contract so that she can mix it up.

Paul Dano

I have no idea what his role is like in this movie, but I hope he gets an Oscar nomination for it JUST because it will chafe Quentin Tarantino so badly.

Patrick Schwarzenegger in Tom Ford

Patrick is ALSO in this movie -- a pretty good major project with which to chase The White Lotus -- and as you'll see his M.O. is having just a dash of interest in the area of his shirt. Here, it's the stripes...

P.Schwarz in Tom Ford

... and here, the stripes and the animal-print collar. I actually really like them both on him.

Paul Dano

This may be a BORING backdrop, but it's so much more effective than when people do black. Also, he looks hella relaxed. Apparently Venice agrees with him.
