I wonder if they are looking for any body doubles for J-Lo, you know for "awkward" scenes. I'll be there in a flash. Yippee this is great news.

Glad to see the news has made it's way here. How exciting is it that Alex is getting his first lead role in a U.S. film? I'm not a big J.Lo fan (and
she's too old for him anyway), but what the hell - a lead role is a lead role hey?
It sounds like we are really going to be rewarded for our patience waiting for a new Alex fix - a TV series (hopefully) next September, Whiteout next September, this movie next January (maybe later for us here in Oz). I hope all this frantic activity doesn't mean he has to ditch the BBM in London in June. If he does, I feel very sorry for the fans who are flying in especially to see him, but it's noted that work commitments might keep any of the 'star attractions' away. Let's keep our fingers crossed that that doesn't happen. BTW Lisa - I love the new banner. It's a little sad that Moonlight has to take a back seat, but also understandable. Time marches on and careers move forward. |

Thanks Mandy, but dear Emjay deserves all the credit for the wonderful new look of the site. I suppose I was just a pushy back-seat driver.
One thing that will be sorted out soon enough with this new movie is the title. The US is calling it "Back up Plan", but the Herald Sun referred to it as "Plan B". Maybe I missed something in my old age!!? Who cares really, I am glad Alex will be on big and little screens over the next 12 months at least. |

Thanks Moonbell, I see Australia is yet again behind the times with facts and detail. Grrrr. Back up Plan is by far the better name.

Isn't this such great news? I know some don't like JLo but I do. And this will be a great thing for Alex's career. She is well known and been very
successful with romantic comedies, (Maid in Manhattan, The Wedding Planner) and usually stars with someone more well known than even Alex so CBS must have a
lot of faith in Alex being able to help pull in ppl to the box office. I know we will all be there on opening day! LOL.

Alex will have "chemistry" with a glass of water, so I expect the screen tests he had for the movie with JLo went very well. I agree with Silverchex that CBS is promoting Alex heaps and I will be first in line at our movie theatre when Back up Plan starts here, but I expect I will have downloaded it by then, because Australia sux big time when it comes to releasing movies at the same time as the States. |

Hi everyone, I just wanted to let you know that I have the sides for The Back Up Plan. If anyone would like to have them please PM me with your email address.
It sounds like a very funny show, and a little bit crude too. I was laughing my arse off reading it. We get at least one love scene and "Stan" gets to wear a tux too. I'm won over already (like THAT'S a surprise!). |

Here is the latest Synopsis for the Back up Plan that is doing the rounds at the moment. Sounds great and just what Alex needs to get "out there".
CBS Films has released the official synopsis of "The Back Up Plan" starring Jennifer Lopez and Alex O'Loughlin. There isn't a lot of new info, but it's nice to see the official version: THE BACK-UP PLAN "The Back-up Plan" is a comedy that explores courtship, love, marriage and family "in reverse." After years of dating, Zoe (Jennifer Lopez) has decided waiting for the right one is taking too long. Determined to become a mother, she commits to a plan, makes an appointment and decides to go it alone. On the day of her artificial insemination, Zoe meets Stan - a Man with real possibilities. Trying to nurture a budding relationship and hide the early signs of pregnancy becomes a Comedy of errors for Zoe and creates confusing signals for Stan. When Zoe nervously reveals the reason for her unpredictable behavior, Stan commits fully and says he's in. Never before has love seen a courtship where a wild night of sex involves three in a bed - Stan, Zoe and the ever-present massive pregnancy pillow. Or, where "date night"consists of being the "focal point" at a near-stranger's water birth which does for kiddie pools what "Jaws" did for swimming in the ocean. The real pregnancy test comes when both of them realize they really don't know each other outside of hormonal chaos and birth preparations. With the nine month clocking ticking, both begin to experience cold feet. Anyone can fall in love, get married and have a baby but doing it backwards in hyper-drive could be proof positive that they were made for each other. Jennifer Lopez stars in "The Back-up Plan" for CBS Films, the film division within CBS Corporation (NYSE: CBS.A and CBS). The project, which starts principal photography in Los Angeles on May 11, will be the first feature film release for the company and is set to debut in theaters January of 2010. Alan Poul ('Swingtown" and "Six Feet Under") will direct. Todd Black, Jason Blumenthal and Steve Tisch ("The Pursuit of Happyness," "Knowing") will produce through their Escape Artists banner. Kate Angelo ("Will and Grace," "What About Brian") wrote the screenplay. |
