Anastacia to star in a movie!

Well this is a little unexpected! Anastacia is to star in a movie called "All You Can Dream". I am very excited to see what this will turn out like. I think it's going to be really fun for Anastacia to take part in a project like this. You can read the article below.


Dozens of local actors put their talents on display in front of the cameras as Italian film director Valerio Zanoli began shooting his film

“All You Can Dream,” in Wyoming last week. “All You Can Dream” follows overweight high school senior Suzie as she rises against low self-esteem and self-value issues through a talent show with the help of her guardian angel, European singing sensation Anastacia.

Zanoli said his crew shot the film “Hopeful Notes” in the West Michigan area last year. The crew returned this year to cash in on Michigan’s film production incentives, which provide a 40-percent refundable tax credit against the Michigan Business Tax for pre-production and post-production in Michigan.

“It is a funny, family movie with no nudity or drugs or anything like that,” said Zanoli. “There are so few movies like that, with a social message. It is a good way to get families together and spend some quality time together.”

The film features 15 local actors with speaking roles and more than 75 extras. Shooting began two weeks ago at Park Center Lanes and will continue for several days at Resurrection Life Church, Wyoming Park High School, and several other locations throughout the city.

Caledonia High School graduate Laura Shank plays the film’s antagonist, Jessica Jameson, the head cheerleading, junior prom queen who spends the entire film putting Suzie down.

Shank, 21, who received a theater degree from Adrian College this spring, answered a casting call on Facebook and received the role, her first lead in a feature film.

“This is an amazing thing,” she said. “Even though I play a mean role, I really like the film. It shows that no matter what you look like, or who you are, there are always insecurities. It is a great message for high schoolers and teens to learn.”

East Kentwood High School junior Blake Price plays Josh, the captain of the football team.

“I signed up for the tryout, wasn’t sure if I wanted to do it and almost crossed my name off the list,” said the 16-year-old actor who has previous acting experience through the East Kentwood High School theater program. “I got called back and landed the role. Watching some of the other actors film scenes gets you excited and anxious to get in front of the camera as well.”

The combination of tax incentives and a chance meeting brought the production to the Wyoming bowling alley.

“Everyone involved would not be here and none of this money would be spent in this area if it weren’t for the tax incentives,” said Brandon T. David, production manager. “We’ve spent about $175,000 through local vendors. The incentives aren’t costing anyone anything, they are simply saving us as filmmakers money.”

Canda Lomonaco, Park Center Lanes owner, met Valerio at a Wyoming Park talent show when the director was scouting film locations and looking for talent and offered the bowling alley as a setting for the film.

“There is a lot of work that goes into it as they have to change light bulbs and shoot scenes from so many different angles. I’m excited to see how it all comes together,” said Lomonaco. “They used local caterers, bought doughnuts from Marge’s Donut Den, coffee from Biggby, pops from Speedway – it has been a great boost to all the businesses in the area.”

Following the shooting, the film will spend six to eight months in post-production. The film is expected to be released and distributed in summer 2011.

Update: RiverCityLtd:Film shoot today at the studio for: "All You Can Dream". Pop star Anastacia is in the house for the shoot. People everywhere.

According to Anastacia Fan Club Italia Anastacia might be singing the sound-track "Im Tired" with the duo Lexes and Bianca Ryan. Nothing is clear yet. Check back for more info soon :)

Don't Stop Believing - Meet the panel

Anastacia

She's the little lady with the big voice! Anastacia has sold million of records worldwide - among them the karaoke classics, I'm Outta Love and Left Outside Alone - and notched up top ten hits in Europe, Asia and Oceania. She'll be bringing her life-long love of singing and performing, not to mention her experience of success, to our expert panel of judges.

The daughter of a club singer and a Broadway actress, Anastacia's first break was when she danced in a Salt-N-Pepa video during the '90s. Her debut album, the year 2000's Not That Kind, went triple platinum in Australia. The same year, she won the World Music Award for Best Selling International Artist.

But in 2003, everything changed. Anastacia was diagnosed with cancer, and the story leaked to the media before she'd even had time to tell her friends. At the time it was traumatic, she says, but she came back more determined than ever - and in 2005, she was recognised for worldwide sales of over 20 million albums, and awarded the coveted Marie Claire award for Woman of the Year.

Anastacia's determination and individuality has enabled her to stand out from the crowd, and that's what she'll be looking for in our Don't Stop Believing groups each week. They'll need to prove to Anastacia just how determined they really are.

Some info about the show.

As you probably already know, Chucky Klapow, Tamzin Outhwaite and Duncan James will also be judges on the show and Emma Bunton will be the host.

Safety storyline

Dima is a famous singer who is tired of the fame and doesnt have anyone waiting for him at home, he's alone. He's not only tired of fame but also of himself.

While going home Dima gets ran over by a blonde girl who helps him to get home. As soon as the girl (who is a papparazzi) puts him in bed, she takes some dream photos that all papparazzi would have loved to take. But the girl realizes she's in love with him and deletes all the pics.

Anastacia will be the narrator of the story, she'll be a angel/muse kind of character. However, there's another version that says Anastacia will be a guardian angel who is going to save Dima from death and help him find his soulmate.

You can watch one of Dima's scenes below.

Sportwereld interview


Heres a really funny interview Anastacia and Natalia gave for Sportwereld.

"I don't want to see my own kitty cat"


We didn't want to keep this remarkable segment from the interview from you

What do you do to keep fit?


Anastacia: Barely anything. I have good genes. My sister works out like crazy, she looks like Madonna. When I'm performing, I do bikram yoga, that's working out in a freaking hot room.
Natalia: Anastacia has beautiful abs, really. I try to work out five times a week. I also do poweryoga. Otherwise I can't release my energy.

How much would Playboy have to pay you for a nude shoot?

Anastacia: Not going to happen. I don't want to see my own kitty cat, my own pu*sy.

Natalia: (laughing out loud) 'Amen!'


How many tattoos do you have?

Natalia: Three, but I want another.

Anastacia: Four. One on my neck, two on my loins, one on my lower back. It's a story. Read it one day when you're sitting on the correct side. (laughs)

"Happy Birthday, sweet gorgeous adorable Ursula", screamed Anastacia. They also asked about the more eccentric wishes of the star. She asked for "Golden Coke", tells Anastacia.

"This is my first golden cup. I swear"

New Blog


Anastacia has written us a lovey new blog! She talks about her upcoming events and thanks the freaks for the support we have given her through this very busy week!



Hi Fan-ily
It is been a very full, fun and busy week!!! I want to send a BIG Thank YOU for supporting my new song with Dima Bilan....especially those that woke very early to hear it launch on Russian radio for the first time!!! I am hoping this song will find life outside of Russia, especially since this song is dedicated to all my fans I so want this song to reach many many radio stations so people can hear my appreciation in the words of the song to you amazing fan-ily fans!!!!!
I hope you guys liked the photo shoot I did with OK Russia...it was very fun and the idea was gypsy romance!!! LOL!!! As many of you heard, the video shoot offered a bit of a challenge! I will say that I am so excited about this video!!! The director is amazing and it will surely be one of my better videos!!! Unfortunately, they had to use some kind of strong lights which created a bit of harm to both my eyes and Dima's...Luckily, I was travelling to Germany and a Fan-ily member Ka is a pharmacist and gave me direction for the correct drops to help my sun burnt eye balls!!! I did a private show last night in Stuttgart which was so much fun!!! Today we fly to Belgium where I will do some promo work with Natalia for our upcoming concerts together in January...We hope to add more shows so perhaps this will help!!! And finally, I will travel to London On the 21st to do two days of promo for the upcoming TV show "Don't stop Believing" which I am Super excited for!!! I have always wanted to be a judge on one of these shows and I love this concept of chorus groups just like the fantastic hit TV show Glee!!!! I miss being on tour and seeing everyone!!! I know I will see many of you in Portugal in August and I so appreciate the support of my fan-ily!!!!
Big Hugs and Kisses!!!
