Penelope Movie

Primrose Hill, North London :: Here are the first pictures of 29-year-old Oscar-winning actress Reese Witherspoon (Annie) on the set of her new film, Penelope, wearing a "Wings" helmet and "Belstaff" badge on her leather jacket. Actress Christina Ricci, 25, plays the lead role of Penelope, a woman born with the face of a pig (hence her face covered by her scarf) who tries to end her lifelong curse and find true love. Inset :: Pig-nosed face Christina Ricci and Reese Witherspoon’s stunt double (or Reese in really, really good make-up) film a scene mounted on a motorcycle on the corner of Ainger Road and Primrose Hill Road. Christina Ricci reveals, "It’s a modern-day fable about this girl whose family lineage is cursed. She’s born with a pig’s nose! And the only way to break the curse is for someone of her own kind to accept and love her. My agent was actually afraid to send the script to me because she thought I’d be offended." Many more pictures in the gallery!

UPDATE :: Many more pictures added!

My first thought on seeing that main photo in my RSS was, "My, doesn’t that Olsen twin look cute in her little motorcycle outfit?"

I can’t wait to see Penelope. If I’m not mistaken, James McAvoy is the leading man, and he is adorable! Actually, all the major players are completely adorable: Reese, Christina and James. All very little people.
