OlderDrew Barrymore’s Grey Gardens
Drew Barrymore films scenes her new movie Grey Gardens around Centre Island in Toronto, Canada. She plays ‘Little’ Edith Bouvier Beale while Jessica Lange reportedly plays “Big Edie’.
Synopsis: Based on the life stories of the eccentric aunt and first cousin of Jackie Kennedy (both named Edith Bouvier Beale aka “Big and Little Edie”) raised as Park Avenue débutantes but who withdrew from New York society, taking shelter at their Long Island summer home, Grey Gardens. As their wealth and contact with the outside world dwindled, so did their grasp on reality. They were reintroduced to the world when international tabloids learned of a health department raid on their home, and Jackie swooped in to save her relatives.
The 32-year-old actress is still dating one-time Apple plugger Justin Long.

they are doing a biopic version of grey gardens? who greenlighted this i need to know so i can kill them?
i wish christine ebersole were doing thissss
Unless you’re TWELVE, everyone woman has cellulite. Sheesh, idiots.
Can’t wait for this movie! LOVE those crazy broads!
I suppose the easiest solution is for those who do not care for Drew to not watch the movie when it is released and save themselves a lot of aggravation and anxiety. Those of us who think she is a fine talent look forward to seeing what she does with the role and will most likely enjoy her portrayal of Edie.
Here you can watch the Grey Gardens Documentary here.
It’s one of the most touching humane portraits of crazy people.

Don’t bother wasting your time with this crappy remake. Hollywood has no soul, just egomaniacs and shittie producers who never went to film school.
Excuse me, but wasn’t Little Edie, like in her fifties when she did Grey Gardens? Drew is in her early 30’s!
I like her dress a lot.
She is a living doll. I think she has a great figure, even if she has a little cellulite.
grey garden????? more like cottage cheese!
I see cellulite. With all those millions you would think she’d have that taken care of.
I’m sorry but take care of WHAT? Celulite? Dahling, every woman got celulite. Its so normal. She’s not like those celebs who see a little celulite or whatever and go operate. And truly, there’s just a little bit of celulite. She doesn’t need do nothing.
is it me or whenever i see celeb pics on jj’s website they suddenly have more cellulite than same pics on other websites?
… just checkin …
Thats unexpected to see some intelligent comments regards the role Drew is playing
Grey Gardens is an incredible documentary and I for one am looking forward to a screen adaptation. They can make a musical so why shouldn’t they make a film?
Drew Barrymore as an actress has more depth than most she knows what to do with at times and mostly plays quirky off beat characters even in Romantic comedys. She is very capable of playing characters at different ages - see ‘Riding In Cars With Boys’ and ‘Never Been Kissed’.
She is perfect to the role of Little Eddie.
Looking at those pics the look it might seem as though she’s a little too glamourous but the pic posted by DEL illustrates the point that the looks are pretty right.
It could be another film where Drew gets to play another character at different stages in life. Looking forward to this one.
She is perfection without actually being perfect!
In reply to dumb hollywood
MAD LOVE, POISON IVY, RIDING IN CARS WITH BOYS, AMY FISHER
are first class films. If you want to be technical the later is a TV movie rather than a cinematic/theatrical release - perhaps you haven’t study cinema that carefully?
I’ll give you DOPPELGANGER - Drew herself said that she’d rather poke needles in her eyes than watch that one. No ones pretending ‘Doppelganger’ is a masterpiece but that doesn’t mean someone somewhere can’t find merit or enjoyment from it.
Drew Barrymore is a very talented actress and has made several brilliant thoughtful, funny, moving and highly entertaining and intelligent films as an actor and producer ( and she is working as producer on Grey Gardens). But don’t trust what I say
Any fool can espouse critical cliches and tell others who don’t toe the party line to educate themselves or go see something. Theres a fine line between education and brainwashing.
There is no way that Drew can play 50 something yr old Edie.
Sorry that’s reality. She’s 30?!!!
Also if someone disagrees with your opinion that doesn’t make him a “hater”. Grow up!
Hollywood is just looking for box office draw by miscasting Drew. Yeah she’s cute, but not that great of an actress.
excume me, but how do you know? just because she has done a lot of rom com? people can be so ignorant. everyone who has seen those movies doesn’t think the same.
I find it silly Jessica Lange and Drew Barrymore would even be considered to portray these poor women.
Drew Barrymore’s lisping voice is annoying as ****. Take some effing diction lessons already.
A lisp is only cute on a five year-old or a drag queen.
Last year, fans of the documentary “Grey Gardens” were horrified to learn that a feature film adaptation was in the works starring Drew Barrymore as Little Edie. Luckily, it never happened until now. HBO has announced they are going forward with the film keeping Drew and adding Jessica Lange as Big Edie.
The documentary was also turned into a critically-acclaimed Broadway musical last year.
Here we go again! Messing with things that shouldn’t be messed with. However, if you’re going to eff this up at least do it with people that can act. Drew Barrymore cannot handle her lisp AND Little Edie’s New England accent at the same time. Trainwreck in the making!
And can Jessica Lange even show expression in her face anymore?!
My, my. Lots of BIG critics here.
The filmmakers have investigated and researched this story more than any of you will ever know. There IS a reason for making it - and I can promise you, it’s not a big production house just looking to cash in, there is not a huge cash roll backing it. This is a labor of love. A love letter, if you will, to both Edie and Mrs. Beale and all of their fans.
I look forward to seeing the filmmakers’ interpretation of the near empty time span that all GG fans are more than curious about. By the looks of these photos it seems they’ve done a damn good job of recreating a living version of what we’ve only seen still images of, up until now.
We should all give these folks a chance, I suspect everyone will be surprised and pleased once they see the film. This same type of complaining and criticizing took place before the musical and it turned out to be a fabulous production, one that turned those critics into fans. Take a big deep breath, relax and sit back and wait - you’ll most likely be glad you did.
Why is she dating Justin Long
I heard he was gay
DA BLOG
**** the fans who were horrified. **** them. I bet they’re simply fans and stupid critics. Drew has a reputation to do just rom com. So every actor on earth who makes just rom com is not talented? You’re ******* ignorants. American people are ignorants. Bush represents very good America. So sad.
Princessa darling you couldn’t be more right. Let all these booboo critics have their fifteen minutes of fame. Drew will be terrific Jessica will be terrific and the film will be terrific, a tribute to the Beales.
I read somewhere that the average IQ in the world is about 100…I just know that these people are driving in cars and cutting me off on the freeway…and they certainly frequent internet gossip blogs.
I still love movies. I really love good ones and great ones even more. I don’t make movies, never even tried, but I’ve noticed that with the huge increase in celebrity culture the quality of movie being made has gone down. I wonder if there’s a connection there?
In any case, I’d love to see this turn out to be a great film. I know Jessica Lange will give a great performance and I bet given half a chance Drew has it in her to give a great performance too.
Give ‘em hell ladies!
Oh my gosh, you guys are so cruel. She looks like a normal human being, and I think she is beautiful. There is nothing at all wrong with her, and she has NO cellulite! I love the fact that she isn’t stick then like most celebs. She is GORGEOUS!
