Maggie Grace Gets Taken
Maggie Grace ("Lost") has landed the female lead opposite Liam Neeson in the thriller Taken, a co-production between Luc Besson's Europa Corp. and 20th Century Fox, says The Hollywood Reporter.

Pierre Morel will direct from a screenplay by Besson and Robert Mark Kamen.

Grace is set to play the estranged daughter of Neeson's character who is kidnapped and forced into the slave trade. Neeson's character is a former spy who uses his skills to rescue her.

Shooting begins this month in Paris. Besson is producing alongside

Maria Bello, Emily Blunt, Kevin Zegers, Hugh Dancy, Maggie Grace, Amy Brenneman and Jimmy Smits will star in The Jane Austen Book Club, Robin Swicord's adaptation of the Karen Joy Fowler novel, reports The Hollywood Reporter.

John Calley and Mockingbird Pictures' Julie Lynn are producing the ensemble drama, which Sony Pictures Classics is expected to distribute.

The story revolves around a California-based group of women and one man who form a club that meets periodically to discuss Jane Austen novels. As they meet, their lives unfold, with marriages being tested, affairs beginning, unsuitable arrangements becoming suitable and love happening.

Brenneman will play Sylvia, whose husband Daniel (Smits) leaves her after 32 years of marriage. Bello will play Jocelyn, her best friend who never married. Zegers will play an oversexed teen who gets involved with one of the club's members, while Blunt will portray Prudie, a teacher with a worthy husband but is nagged by fantasies of sex with other men. Grace will play the lesbian daughter of Sylvia and Daniel, while Dancy is Grigg, a sci-fi fan and computer whiz.

The movie is scheduled to begin shooting Wednesday in Los Angeles. (source)

Also, in terms of site news, I finally got around to adding the missing caps from the Oliver Beene episode 2.14 - Babysitting. That officially completes the Oliver Beene section in the gallery.

Happy belated birthday to Maggie! She turned 23 on Thursday. Here's hoping all her wishes will come true and that she got to spend a wonderful day with friends and family.

Hey guys, I'm back from vacation and got some new goodies in the gallery for you.

48x Lost Season 2 Exclusive Interview caps
55x Oliver Beene - 2.14 Babysitting caps
87x Oliver Beene - 2.15 Superhero caps

About the Oliver Beene screencaps - during both times of taping the show the end was cut of, so there might be some scenes missing. I'm trying to catch a rerun on another channel at the end of August, so here's hoping I'll be able to offer you caps from every scene of the show. Also, the episode guide is kind of messed up - in the US, the episodes Babysitting and Superhero aired after Catskills, but the right order of Maggie's episodes would be Superhero, Babysitting and then Catskills.
