- Four Christmases: Trailer Captures
Tonight during the MTV Video Music Awards the trailer for Four Christmases made it’s debut in a short minute or so TV spot. Reese looked really cute and we saw a variety of scenes, I expect the online premiere any day now. It’s a strong possibility MTV will post it first so check there for now.
Update 9/10: You can watch a low quality version of the trailer snippet on Buzz Sugar. Thanks to Lindsey for the notice!
As earlier reported Reese was in Brazil yesterday as the Avon Global Ambassador. The event was “Speak Out Against Domestic Violence,” a joint campaign launched in 2004 by the UN Development Fund for Women (UNIFEM) and the Avon cosmetics company. She looked ultra pretty in a classy navy dress, hoop earrings and blue heels. The event was held at the World Trade Center hotel in Sao Paulo and lasted one hour, Reese highlighted the campaign’s aims in Latin America, including the sale of bracelets which is financing the charity. She flew back to the United States yesterday shortly after arriving on Wednesday. I’d like to thank Marcela for many picture contributions and translations!
Here is a news report regarding the press conference.
“One woman in three in the world is affected by domestic violence. There isn’t a woman in the world that doesn’t have a friend or a partner who’s actually experiencing some sort of violence against them, so I think although domestic violence hasn’t happened to me personally, I certainly know women who are dealing with this struggle every day.” – Reese Witherspoon
In a symbolic gesture, she gave one of the bracelets to Maria da Penha Maia Fernandes, a Brazilian woman who has come to represent domestic violence in her home country after she was left a paraplegic by her violent husband.
After a 20-year legal battle, Brazil in 2006 named a law after Maia Fernandes that recognizes domestic violence against women as a human rights violation, and extends a number of preventive and punitive measures as well as assistance.
According to UNIFEM, one Brazilian woman in five suffers violence at the hands of a man, and there were an estimated 2.1 million women in the country who each year are victims of domestic violence.
Domestic violence, Witherspoon said, “affects women who are famous, who are not famous, women who have money, women who have no money. This is an issue that crosses all boundaries and it certainly affects everyone.”

Check out the poster for Four Christmases courtesy of Tyler. I smell a trailer coming up soon! Reese plays Kate in the film, which opens on November 26th.
When upscale, happily unmarried San Francisco couple Kate and Brad find themselves socked in by fog on Christmas morning, their exotic vacation plans morph into the family-centric holiday they had, until now, gleefully avoided. Out of obligation—and unable to escape—they trudge to not one, not two, but four relative-choked festivities, increasingly mortified to find childhood fears raised, adolescent wounds reopened… and their very future together uncertain. As Brad counts the hours to when he can get away from their parents, step-parents, siblings and an assortment of nieces and nephews, Kate is starting to hear the ticking of a different kind of clock. And by the end of the day, she is beginning to wonder if their crazy families’ choices are not so crazy after all.

Four Christmases
Nov. 26
Reese Witherspoon, Vince Vaughn
This holiday romp — starring Witherspoon and Vaughn as a couple obliged to celebrate Christmas with each of their divorced parents — is Reese’s first romcom since 2005′s Just Like Heaven. And in case having her back in high spirits isn’t gift enough, the movie also marks the feature-directing debut of Seth Gordon, who made last year’s terrific The King of Kong.

Many fans have asked us where Reese is and what she is up to at the moment so I thought I’d write a little catch up. Four Christmases is currently in post-production and will be released in the US on November 26, 2008. Penelope is already available on DVD in many countries, including the UK, and will be released in the US on July 15 (as earlier reported). Reese has presumably finished recording her voice for for Monsters vs. Aliens. Besides her other voice role in The Bear and the Bow, we do not know what exactly she will take on next but I doubt she’ll film anything this summer. You may also have been new Avon commercials airing worldwide.
Currently Reese is reportedly living in Jake Gyllenhaal’s London home in Notting Hill as he films scenes from his new film, Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time.
One insider reveals: “Reese loves England and has been really looking forward to spending this time living with Jake.”
It sounds like Reese’s summer will be a fun and relaxing one!
The 2008 Teen Choice Awards nominations have been announced and Miss Reese has gotten a nod for Choice Movie Actress: Drama for Rendition! Jake Gyllenhaal also got a nod for the film, for Choice Movie Actor: Drama.
Voting is now open at the Teen Choice website for fans ages 13-19. So be sure to cast your vote(s) for Reese! Miley Cyrus is set to host the event that will air on Fox on August 4th, 2008.
Ben Stiller and Reese Witherspoon will star in an untitled Cameron Crowe romantic comedy adventure at Columbia Pictures.
Columbia was the winning bidder, beating out four rival studios, in landing the fully developed project, which is being produced by Scott Rudin. Crowe, who wrote the screenplay, is also producing.
Studio is keeping the logline of the contemporary-set project under wraps.

When Vince Vaughn and Reese Witherspoon team up for a Christmas flick, they’re not looking to remake The Santa Clause. As such, this November’s Four Christmases isn’t a cookie-cutter flick about rounding up the entire family on Christmas day and watching the excitement and hilarity that ensues. No, it’s about an ever-worsening trend in American culture: Divorce.
“The movie is all about family,” Witherspoon told us recently of the currently filming flick. “It’s about the connection with your mother and your father, and those dynamics, so I really think people are going to relate to it.”

I don’t know how we managed to miss out on these news but Reese joined the cast of another animated movie back in April. It is called The Bear and the Bow and fellow voice cast will include Billy Connolly and Emma Thompson. The film will be released around Christmas time in 2011 (wow, that’s a long time from now!). Here is the synopsis:
A rugged and mythic Scotland is the setting for Pixar’s action-adventure The Bear and the Bow. The impetuous, tangle-haired Merida, though a daughter of royalty, would prefer to make her mark as a great archer. A clash of wills with her mother compels Merida to make a reckless choice, which unleashes unintended peril on her father’s kingdom and her mother’s life. Merida struggles with the unpredictable forces of nature, magic and a dark, ancient curse to set things right. Director Brenda Chapman (The Prince of Egypt, The Lion King) and the storytelling wizards of Pixar conjure humor, fantasy and excitement in this rich Highland tale.
Thanks to Holly for the heads up!
