Kirsten Dunst & Emile Hirsch: Upside Down

"Studio 37 also has announced ongoing negotiations with Kirsten Dunst

and Emile Hirsch to co-star in Juan Solonas' English-language title "Upside Down" co-produced with Onyx Films.

Studio 37 will be focusing more and more on animated titles, with Marathon's "Totally Spies" franchise, this year's Festival de Cannes Director's Fortnight title "Round Da Way," and Antoine Charreyon's 3-D animated motion capture film "Prodigies" co-produced with Onyx Films and Fidelite Films and set for a second semester 2010 release. "We're really looking for new forms of audiovisual writing", Dumas said, but added: "We're not looking to do what the Americans can do better."

"Look up towards the sky and rub your eyes because you won’t believe what you see: cities, forests, and oceans with their own inverted gravity, only an arm’s length away, yet completely unreachable. Take a leap over to this alternate reality, two worlds – one above, one below‐ facing each other, and you’ll land in the extraordinary world of Upside Down, the new ground‐breaking film of Juan Solanas, the director of the innovative Cannes and César‐prized short film The Man Without A Head and heartbreaking 2005 Cannes film Nordeste.

SYNOPSIS Adam is a seemingly ordinary guy in a very extraordinary universe. He lives humbly trying to make ends meet, but his romantic spirit holds on to the memory of a girl he met once upon a time from another world, an inverted affluent world with its own gravity, directly above but beyond reach… a girl named Eve. Their childhood flirtation becomes an impossible love. But when he catches a glimpse of grown‐up Eve on television, nothing will get in the way of getting her bak… Not even the law or science!

This news really rings my chimes, because being Kirsten my oldest movie crush-girl and Emile one of my most recent flames, the possibility of seeing both of them together in a story makes it so special and I think they would be a kick-ass couple; for my tastes, whereas some of the on-screen couples of Kirsten have been very flattering as Tobey Maguire or Josh Hartnett, in others as with Orlando Bloom in "Elizabethtown" or even with Jason Schwartzman in "Marie Antoinette" could have come off as a bit too light, I think Emile's sensuality would make that up if they are chosen as the lead characters; it's not officially confirmed yet.

Why would Emile and Kirsten be a good coupling?

First, both have elegance and "porte" on their appearances in events, premieres, etc.:

Their unbeatable childish smiles melt me everytime:

Both look very cute wearing glasses:

Both smoke, I think Kirsten more frequently than Emile (he does it off/on):

Both are monkey-friendly:

and in the gossip section, curiously last year Kirsten was rumoured interested in chasing Emile:

"WATCH out, Emile Hirsch - Kirsten Dunst has her eye on you. Our spy saw the rehabbed starlet smoking cigarettes outside the Bowery Hotel and told us, "Kirsten was there just to see Emile." After she finished her cig, the source said, Kirsten followed the press-shy actor to club Bowery Electric next door.

"She was all alone," our snitch said. "She was going to the bar just to see him." Source: www.nypost.com

Well, in my opinion Kirsten doesn't need to chase any guy (although completely understandable if the subject in question is Emile), more the other way around, and while I'll cross my fingers in order to this project being made, it's a major pet peeve not having been able to see Jake and Kirsten together in some film.
