The Power of the Dog’s Kirsten Dunst and Kodi Smit-McPhee earned their first Oscar nominations on Tuesday for their turns in the Jane Campion film, speaking with Deadline about its stellar reception and upcoming projects including the action epic Civil War, which the former is starring in for Alex Garland, and the Untitled Elvis Presley Project from Baz Luhrmann in which the latter shot a role.
While Dunst wouldn’t disclose specifics as to the story of Civil War, she shared that the film will enter production in Atlanta in March. And while Smit-McPhee admits he only has “a small part” in Luhrmann’s Elvis film, he said he took away from it the same “reward of being challenged” that he’d found on The Power of the Dog.
Dunst said that going forward, she’d “like to work with Paul Thomas Anderson,” with Smit-McPhee expressing an interest in...

After the two-week international break, Premier League football returns on Saturday with a lunchtime matchup between Manchester United and Crystal Palace. Champions against play-off champions, this match may seem a walkover for United at home, but poor results against Chelsea and Liverpool, followed by a farcical transfer window, have contributed to a less-than-rosy start for David Moyes’ team. Meanwhile, Crystal Palace comes to Old Trafford after an impressive 3-1 home victory against Sunderland and a number of roster changes following a frantic deadline day.
Team News
For Manchester United, the game against Crystal Palace may prove to be the first opportunity for fans to watch three new players. Marouane Fellaini, signed from Moyes’ former team Everton on deadline day, looks set to make his home debut in United’s midfield. Although Fellaini played as many as four positions while at Everton, he was purchased primarily as cover for Michael Carrick,...

England secured qualification for Euro 2012 but it was overshadowed by a late Montenegro equaliser and a Wayne Rooney red card. England dominated the first half, going ahead through goals from Ashley Young and Darren Bent, before Elsad Zverotic pulled one back. Wayne Rooney was sent off for a violent kick in the second half though and Andrija Delibasic levelled the score with a dramatic late header.
An allocation of 1,200 fans travelled to the Podgorica City Stadium to watch England take on the newest international team. Montenegro – formerly merged with Serbia, have only been on the international scene since 2006, and have achieved a meteoric rise through FIFA’s rankings system – climbing from 208th to 26th in the past five years.
It certainly wasn’t going to be an easy game for Fabio Capello’s side. Although Montenegro has a population smaller than Leeds, they have a new manager in the form...
