Free Lena Movie Online: 'Twice Upon A Yesterday' (1998)

If you're signed up with either IMDB or Hulu (the free service) you can watch this movie for free.

Description:
Fate steps in with unexpected consequences when forlorn lover Victor (Douglas Henshall) magically gets the chance of a lifetime: to turn back the clock and relive a relationship that went wrong with his beautiful longtime girlfriend, Sylvia (Lena Headey). During the course of his enchanted emotional journey he meets the beguiling Louise (Penélope Cruz) and discovers that wishes can come true... for better or for worse!

Click to watch at IMDB.
Click to watch at Hulu.
You'll have to sign in first because the movie is rated R. Why its rated R, I have no idea! How long it will remain available for free? I have no idea...

Other Lena news around the web...
This from Variety:
Lena Headey as landed the female lead in Universal's 'Vigilandia', opposite Ethan Hawke. No real details about what the movie is about other then its a 'Sci-Fi Thiller'.
Let's hope its a good movie! <*fingers crossed*>
Bonus Trivia: Ethan Hawke also starred in Lena's first movie, 'Waterland' back in 1992.

And here's a short interview clip from MTV's Movie Blog of Lena at the Golden Globes. She gives some hints about Cersei's storyline in season 2.
I hope it will include more then just "drive-by" Cersei scenes. Again... fingers crossed!

Lena Headey:

Ok.. I'm late I know... Clearly my resolution for punctuality and organization is already on the list again for next year... So. A very prosperous and healthy 2012 (I seem to remember buck rogers mentioning 2012 way back when 2012 seemed like the craziest space age notion i ever heard) to you good fellas.. Don't the last few years feel to have been full of change and challenge..? Don't they??!.... No? Just me then..
Well. 2012 WILL be a faboosh year for all of us. Home (the uk) was a festive delight. My mum cooked up a storm and I ate the storm with relish. I devoured so much cheap and wonderful sugary chocolate that I felt sick but happy. My dad is S L O W L Y getting used to the iPad. It was nice to wear a sweater and boots and a coat.. I love me some layering. I don't wanna moan about constant sun.. BUT.. SOMETIMES IT'S REALLY BLOODY DULL.. Sometimes a windy rainy day is a all you want.. To curl up in front of the tv and hear rain thundering on the roof... Told ya.. It's the simple things.
Folks..
Peace
Merriment
Acceptance (this is the tricky one)
All love

Lena Headey:
Jet lagged but eating so much home cooked food.. So all things in balance.
I gave gifts to folk from the great organisation PLAN USA. It supports children and women All over the world to make safe, independent and educated lives for themselves.
I was dreaming of White Christmas.. Indeed let's go so far as to day that I had edited a complete short film of us sledging down snowy Yorkshire slopes as soft White flakes catch in our woollen hats... The reality is.. It's SUNNY.. IN YORKSHIRE.. AT CHRISTMAS... I could weep but I won't.. I shall instead be thankful for health and family.
Radio 4 is on and my ma is cooking up another dinner for tonight. ..I wonder if you all fall back into parent/ child familiarity when you visit home.
Wylie has been up from midnight till two am with more energy than a thunder cat (a cartoon superhero cat in vibrant lycra, for those of you who are under 40)... Ah hem.... ( I am still a Wee bit under )
SO to conclude.
May I wish you all a very merry Christmas. I send you all love and peace and for those of you away from your families... You are missed and truly loved.
May I wish you health and happiness.
I hope for the world a stronger united compassionate 2012..
Thank you all for your kind words and lovely support this year

Facebook message & Thanksgiving wish from Lena

Lena Headey:
Turkeys abound..
We will be at our delightful pals tucking into a delish spread and giving thanks for family and friends and health and jobs and of course I will secretly being giving fickle thanks for shoes..
I LOVED the rain yesterday.. Although LA is seemingly frightened of it.. Shops shut and the streets are empty.. Wylie loved splashing and I had to stop him from licking the ground (beagle influence)..
Apart from that. No news (was that news)..
Finished work. Having a chill. Writing and peeing when I want without it being announced over 20 walky talkies.. Ahhhh the small stuff makes me happy folks.
A wonderful thanksgiving to ya'll
Peace

Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours, Lena. Enjoy the ensuing turkey coma...

Hmm...shoes? I will be giving a very loud shout-out to elastic waistbands & Pepto Bismol as I help myself to seconds at the dessert table! How about you? What besides the obvious will you be giving thanks for???

To everyone in the U.S., have a Happy Thanksgiving! And to everybody else, happy weekend!

2012 People's Choice Awards Update

2011-11-08T21:12:00.003Z

Okay, bad news first....
Lena didn't receive enough nominations to make it onto the ballot for the 2012 People's Choice Awards.

Good news...
Game Of Thrones did make it under the 'Favorite Cable TV Drama' category. So who knows, if GoT wins and Lena is in town on January 11, 2012, maybe she'd show up to accept the award on behalf of the show? Hey, any Lena is better then no Lena!

(click here to go and cast your vote)

And as a sidebar... this comes from Deadline.com.

Absolutely Fabulous co-creator and co-star Jennifer Saunders plans to write a movie version of the BBC TV comedy. She hopes to pen the feature film next year...

You can read the full article here.

Now, I'm not ready to call myself a soothsayer or anything but... Lena wants to do comedy and can you think of anything out there as funny as Ab Fab? Even a small part would be gold! Hey, Lena, your people should call her people!

I'll just wait over here... with fingers crossed... holding my breath...

Lena Headey:

I am packing up my suitcase for my last Belfast stint....
Am very much looking forward to getting back and REALLY unpacking my bags for the first time in 4 months...
Have been in a wee bit of a haze...
Hiking and hanging and obsessing about American horror story.....
Watching parks and rec.. Maybe... Just one day.... MAYBE I can do a little funny .. Somewhere..
Please tell me none of you have begun Christmas shopping... What is with the pumpkins next to the reindeer.. I don't dig.
Y'all dig?
Oh... In case any of you were in the slightest bit curious.
Wylie was a wolf.. He wiped his nose and whiskers off in a matter of seconds... But he growled and kept his ears on...

Peace peeps
Xxxx

I would love to see Lena doing comedy. In my head I can picture her and Piper Perabo doing a movie version of 'Absolutely Fabulous'.

What about you? What would you love to see Lena do next?

"Pete Smalls Is Dead" Trailer

2011-10-26T22:38:00.005+01:00

Here's another trailer out for 'Peter Smalls Is Dead'. It stars Peter Dinklage. Lena has a small part in it playing a character named Shannah.

Two things: the voice over guy doing the trailer mispronounces her name (Head-Lee?). The end credits misspell her name (Heady).

Seriously!?! Still??? Come on people... it's not rocket science!!! Is Headey really THAT hard to spell and pronounce? So, here's a little video, from like 2 YEARS ago!, to help you out. Thanks, imayfan!

Headey... Rhymes with Speedy!!! See, not THAT hard!!!

Lena has updated her Facebook peeps by posting a message from Belfast. Ever the world traveler, I wonder how many passport pages she's gone through? Safe travels to you, Lena!!

LenaHeadey:
I am in Belfast. Needless to say I am making use of all warm clothing. It actually rained INSIDE the other day.. Only in Ireland !!!
Fly back to LA on Friday... Home for 8 days then back to Belfast for my last week.. Then DONE.. Boom... Just like that.. Season two is nearly over.
I am pondering on what Wylie should be for trick or treat.. I'm sure he would like to go as a truck.. Don't know if I possess that kinda sewing skill.
Glue guns and cardboard you fool...
Sorry this is so brief folks. I think of you lot... A lot..
Hope all is grand
LH

If Wylie likes trucks, he should go as Mater from Cars!

Too cute!!!

Have a happy and safe Halloween, everybody!

Currently in Dubrovnik. Very beautiful.
Filming a rather large scene and I never thought I would be spending my 38th birthday shuffling along a crowded footpath whilst wearing a blonde wig and corset...back to London tomorrow where I shall celebrate in a rather more conventional fashion.
Then LA where I shall squeeze and worship the bejeezus out of a small blonde chap.
THANK YOU for all the birthday wishes :)
Wishing you all a week of laughter...

Off to do a quick rewrite .. Borrowing computer (borrowing a lot right now it seems) .. I left mine in Belfast and ran for the plane.
Re thrones : its so exciting .. All the storylines all the new cast.. I am thrilled with the development of Cersei .. The crazy is surfacing ..
Hope ya'll are having great weekends.
I am going to Mr Thomas Dekker's tomorrow.. To watch Angels Crest which I am slightly dreading (only for the weeping which will no doubt ensue) .. Also proud as punch of my beautiful pal..
Enjoy your loved ones my sweet facers

August 27 Update
by Lena Headey

Folks.. Believe it or not have been without Internet access for 3
weeks.. Also my computer has grown a lump in it's keyboard..
Nuff said..

I am writing on my phone pressed up against the mac stores
exterior wall.

Filming is going great.. Lots of fun scenes.. Lots of interesting
new characters.. Wish I could say more but the results of that
are too frightening.. Belfast is raining and then scorching and
then raining and high winds combo.. This is all in a day of course..
Fish and chips here though are f&$;ing DELICIOUS..my Hollywood
lifestyle has never really happened.. Even in hollywood.. Oops..

I am off to the Emmys !!! Most of the cast is going so should be a
hoot and of course our lovely Pete Dinklage is nominated... Found
a wonderful dress.. Grace kelly meets tim burton.. I can't do shiny
and booby and glossy.. Am VERY excited to frock up

Hope you are all well.. Please forgive my lack of contact..
Peace and happiness my friends

Sorry I'm late on this... new message from Lena :)

Anything Amy Pohler, tina fey, Kristen Wigg, Will Arnett say or do or told me to do (I should be so lucky) .. I would do .. Without question... SO ..Imagine my joy when I read that Will Arnett let's his kid watch dora the explorer whilst eating ( watching tv seems to guarantee that peak food intake is reached... Thus ensuing a long and restful night for all) .. I'm just saying that there are things you think you'll never do or say ... Until you are in a position to really experience it .. So big up to Dora the explorer ... Olivia and the wonder pets ... You make mealtimes a little easier ...

I'm off to bed having read the comedy issue of GQ ... Thankyou Will Arnett ... For who knew that besides being married to and being yourself a comedic gem .. You would share your parental taboos and make us all (me) feel better ..

Friday night ramble ... Parental and completely sober ...

Over and out ya'll ....

Hope your weekends are dirty ... ;)

First Dredd Pic of Lena

2011-07-26T00:47:00.005+01:00

The first pic of Lena as Ma-Ma in the Dredd movie!

More details in this article from SlashFilm:

Helmets and Scowling. Could be a new detective show, or a sludgy metal band from Ohio. In this case, those two words are simply the first things that come to mind when looking at new photos from Dredd, which is the second and hopefully superior adaptation of the long-running Judge Dredd comic book series. Karl Urban, Olivia Thirlby, and Lena Headey star under the direction of Pete Travis. This batch of pics shows us a bit more than we’ve previously seen of the dour and harsh world in which Dredd and his burg Mega-City One exist. Check them out after the break, and see if they make you crack a smile.

Empire has the pics, some of which were scanned by fine readers at SuperHero Hype. That’s Olivia Thirlby as Judge Cassandra Anderson and Lena Headey as the villainous Ma-Ma.

Piper and Lena to reunite on Covert Affairs?

2011-07-24T12:32:00.002+01:00

If they will make it happen, this is very exciting news from the San Diego Comic-Con! As you may know Piper Perabo was there too promoting her show Covert Affairs (check out the pic with Lena in the Comic-Con pics post ;) and from what she said it looks like there's a real possibility that Lena may appear as guest star on her show. Read this excerpt from an article appeared on the website BoomTron:

The San Diego Comic-Con continues and brings with it rumors and hints from Covert Affairs star Piper Perabo about a possible guest appearance from Game of Thrones’ Lena Headey. Perabo said she had been talking with Headey, who was her co-star in the indie comedy, Imagine Me & You, about possibly appearing on Covert Affairs. Besides having her regular role as Cersei Lannister on Game of Thrones, Headey just appeared on White Collar this week.

Piper also talked about a three-way crossover with the other USA shows White Collar and Burn Notice, so Lena could even appear as her character in White Collar, who knows...
Piper has mentioned this possibility a couple of times now and Lena too, so let's keep our fingers crossed for a Lena/Piper reunion! ;)

Dredd Release Date

2011-07-24T12:13:00.000+01:00

There's been a bit of confusion about Lena's latest movie, Dredd, release date, it was previously announced it would have been released first in the UK, this December and then a year later in the USA, but it looks like it was a mistake or something as io9.com reports:

We've heard from several people that the December 2011 U.K. release date is not real, and the movie's coming out everywhere in September 2012.

So the movie should be released in theatres across the world in September 2012... that's a long wait! o.O

Lena at the San Diego Comic-Con, July 21st!!

2011-07-14T19:20:00.000+01:00

I've just read this tweet from Winter Is Coming, Lena's gonna be at the San Diego Comic-Con:

JUST IN: Lena Headey is now confirmed to join the #GameofThrones panel at San Diego Comic-Con July 21st. #sdcc

Yay! And by the way it would be great to get reports and/or pics from those of you who will be able to go.... ;)

Update
From Lena's FB: The GoT panel and signing are next Thursday. Lena will be at the signing.

No Emmy nomination for Lena :((

2011-07-14T14:27:00.006+01:00

The nominations for the 2011 edition of the Emmy Awards have been announced today and unfortunately Lena didn't make it! >.< Why??? :( Anyway, fellow GoT actor Sean Bean also didn't get any nomination, but Peter Dinklage is nominated for Best Supporting Actor in a Drama Series and Game of Thrones is nominated in the category Best Drama Series and the episode Baelor was nominated for Outstanding Writing for a Drama Series and the show has gotten several other nominations in other categories.
Too bad for Lena and Sean really, very disappointing, they would definitely deserve recognition for their work! Well... at least we can make them win at the Portal Awards, so please people keep on voting!!

So happy 4th to all of you out there... I cooked dinner for my pal Thomas Dekker (some of you may have heard of him;))last night ... I thought it would be an early eve .. (What am I?? Is this my first rodeo ?? ) It was a LATE night, a very funny night .. But I'm too old for this .. My brain is the size of 1000 year old peanut., I want to drink coca cola and weep into my pillow until night brings its cool relief and I can begin again in a new dawn ....
IDIOT !!! It was SO fun though.
I wish you a merry giddy 4th with no rookie mistakes

Article on Emmy picks for 2011

2011-06-28T23:22:00.002+01:00

An article about possible picks for the nomination as "Outstanding Lead Actress" at the Emmy Awards, the official nominees will be revealed July 14, so keep your fingers crossed for Lena till then! ;) According to this reporter Lena is not likely to get the nomination, as she hasn't had enough screen time to be nominated as Lead Actress... unfortunately it's true that Cersei didn't get that much screen time, but let's hope anyway that what counts is the quality not the quantity of the performance! ;P
Here are excerpts from the article:

The Emmy nominations are just around the corner (July 14, to be exact), so it's time for Tube Talk to bring you our picks of the categories! We've already chosen our favourite Lead Actors in a Drama, so now it's time to assess the women! It's a tough category, but read on to find out who we think should be making the cut this year...[...]
And Lena Headey was super as Cersei in Game of Thrones - complex, cold, calculating and compelling. But the nature of the ensemble drama means she might not have garnered enough screen time for 'Lead Actress'.

Yet another message from Lena, yay!!! She's totally hilarious!! xD And she tells us that the project she's working on will be revealed by Christmas, uff! ;P

This is gonna sound like I live the high life .. My pal took me to the Korean spa today... For those of you who haven't been .. ITS NOT A LUXURY spa ... These strong tiny women scrub you from head to toe until you have tears in your eyes and the skin of a baby mouse ... ( baby mouse sounded less weird in my head) .... Anyways it was another treat ... Swimming... spa's .... Anyone would think I didn't have a job to go to ... I DON'T ..... not yet :(
Even with the scrubbing it was a throughly enjoyable giggly experience .. When I was standing in the changing rooms with my scraggly hair and red sauna face digging into my locker for my pants .... A lovely lady said " are you the queen in game of thrones " .... " errr yes " I replied ... Standing in my baby mouse skin ... HOW DID SHE KNOW !!!! Funny and slightly embarrassing. ...
Anyone ELSE who wants to share naked stories ... COME ON ITS FRIDAY ...
Wishing you a happy/drunk/dirty/peaceful weekend...

Happy to report I had a glorious lazy morning, I think the first in 15 months ... I swam (not my pool..) my divinely gorgeous pals lemme sploosh around and then fed me lunch ... I am still smiling. Wylie had a swimming lesson .. Well a splashing toy chewing 20 minutes .. Then home, dinner and pre bed snuggle (a perfect end to a perfect day)
I have a new project that is steaming along. I wanna share it so badly .. I am so EXCITED ...BUT I must practice patience and restraint (it's SO hard) soon I can burst and share (hopefully) great news....

Article: The Powerful Women of Westeros

2011-06-20T16:26:00.000+01:00

Did you like Game of Thrones' season finale?? Here's an article about the strong female characters that populate this series! Of course they mention Cersei, here's the excerpt ;)

There is, of course, another powerful, golden-haired woman without a gentle heart in Game of Thrones. There are intriguing parallels between Daenerys and Queen Cersei; the forced marriages, the sheer strength of will, and the attitude of utter ruthlessness toward their enemies. Much like Daenerys in her marriage with Khal Drogo, Queen Cersei exercised her own greatest power in her marriage to Robert Baratheon: her ability to conceive children. Bloodline and succession is the quickest, surest way to assert strength in Westeros, and Cersei made the decision to have hers with Jaime, not Robert. The fact that Robert died without a true heir in place is Cersei's greatest power—and greatest revenge.

It's easy to hate the cold, manipulative Cersei. But there was a time, not so long ago, when she was a lot like Sansa Stark: young, hopeful, and betrothed to a man who, in the end, never offered the her life she wanted. Cersei knows how to use Sansa so skillfully because she herself was once used, in a similarly politically motivated marriage, benefitting both the Baratheons and the Lannisters at the expense of her own personal happiness. Cersei has overcome the limitations Westerosi society has imposed on her by strategy and treachery, and though she's far from sympathetic—this is, after all, a woman who had a boy pushed out of a window to protect her secret affair with her brother—it's not impossible to understand how she became the cold-hearted woman she is.

Ready for the season finale of Game of Thrones?! What could possibly happen?! To find out tune in to HBO tonight! Filming for season 2 will start on July 25 in Belfast, Northern Ireland.
Here's an article from the LA Times with an interview to Weiss and Benioff about season 2, of course if you'd rather have no spoilers at all, you'd better not read that ;P

As 'Game of Thrones' nears its finale, show runners David Benioff and Dan Weiss talk about Season 2

Madden The first season of “Game of Thrones” comes to a close this Sunday, having won over many viewers who wouldn’t normally immerse themselves in fantasy. It's also left some fans — those who hadn’t already read George R.R. Martin’s books — shellshocked by the brutal deaths of a few major characters (some more beloved than others).

HBO has granted the show a second season, sending show runners David Benioff and Dan Weiss back to Belfast, where they are furiously working on adapting a script from the second book of the saga, “A Clash of Kings.”

They spoke by phone about which characters will reappear in Season 2 and the near-impossibility of creating a cable series out of books that depict an increasingly complex, epic world.

[Spoiler alert: If you don't want to read any discussion of the next season, avert your eyes now.]

There are some big shifts between the first book and the second — different characters, new locations, huge battle scenes and new elements like ... dragons. How closely are you sticking to the book?

Weiss: The book is always going to be our template, our go-to bible. It's mainly about the balancing act between keeping the characters the viewers have spent so much time investing in front-and-center and introducing all these new characters George has come up with and giving them their fair share. That's what we're currently engaged in doing.

So you’re still rewriting?

Benioff: We're definitely still rewriting. You start out with your dream scenario, and then the hard reality hits you and you make adjustments. We're still in that adjustment phase. There's a lot of writing and a lot of casting still. Most series if you get second season you're done with most of the casting. With the second book and the second season, a whole slew of characters make their appearances.

Weiss: I'm sitting here looking at our casting grid, which is a grid of names and faces of all the characters. Last year I remember being so excited as I'd watch week after week — it gradually fills in and finally ... you have this beautiful wall of faces that represents your cast. Now I'm looking at the grid again, and half the people are gone because they've been massacred wholesale. And now there's a grid to be filled in again with a new group of people.

Benioff: Luckily it's a big enough cast that the people we're attached to ... the whole top row is all people we know.

Weiss: It’s different people in the top row, but the whole top row is people we know, and almost the whole second row.

Benioff: We should keep a ghost wall up.

Weiss: The dearly departed. But eventually the dearly departed will be bigger than the cast.

There have been a lot of deaths in the first season. Our recapper has been keeping a tally of deaths and breasts — and often it’s an uneven number of breasts.

Weiss: Depending on our costuming choices, it could be more uneven still.

Benioff: That’s an inside joke. One of the characters visits the Meereen, and the fashion in that city in that book is that women wear one-breasted gowns. But we're not sure if we're going to replicate that.

Benioff The first season has inspired a fair amount of conversation about gender in the series — whether there’s too much nudity for its own sake, whether or not you should show rape. Have you been engaging in any of that?

Benioff: In rape? Very, very little.

Weiss: Has Lars Von Trier taught you nothing?

Benioff: I was not aware ...

Weiss: It's not that we're interested [in the conversations], but we've been so up to our eyeballs in it that we haven't had time to do what comes naturally to us, which is to sit and read about our show.

Has Martin been giving you feedback, and will he continue to be involved to the same degree?

Benioff: He’s writing an episode for the coming season, which is probably the heaviest, the Battle of Blackwater Bay. Now that we're on the ground here in Belfast and working with the visual effects team and production team that's going to create the sets, we have to talk to George about what that looks like. He's just as involved as in Season 1. He'll watch casting videos from afar, and meanwhile we get responses to the episodes.

Weiss: After each episode we get a report card.

Benioff: And he's been kind enough to let us read his new book ahead of time, which is great. It's good to be the envy of fanboys.

That could be dangerous.

Benioff: I don't carry it with me.

Weiss: So it's not on your iPhone?

Benioff: It's terrifying to think if we ever made it that far how we'd attempt to shoot some of the stuff he's got coming up in future years. Something to worry about many, many years from now ...

Even in Book 2, aren’t there huge battles and dragons?

Benioff: We used to say when we pitched it to HBO, if we get to that point when we have to make those decisions it's a great problem to have because it means we got a second season. Now that we're actually here, it doesn't seem like such a great problem — it's a terrifying problem, and we are daily trying to figure it out. We want to get in as many dire wolves and dragons and massive naval armadas. So it's about where and how to do it and how much to show....

What will happen to the major characters who remain mostly out of the action for Book 2? Will you keep the actors on retainer?

Weiss: In the book there are a couple of characters who have more of an offscreen role and come back in Book 3. But in the case of, say, Robb Stark — played by Richard Madden — he has more of an offscreen presence in the book, but Richard did such a fabulous job once his character came to the fore, he so commanded the screen that we realized there's no way to talk about this guy and not have him in the show. So there are people offscreen in the book who we are going to write onscreen in the show to make sure people who viewers have fallen in love with are still there in the second season.

Benioff: In the case of Jaime Lannister, he's got one scene in the second book, but he's such an important character we want to see more of him. There's fluidity in that certain scenes from the third book find their way into the second season just as certain scenes from the second book find their way into the end of the first season. We wanted to make sure those characters stayed in the audience's mind and didn't disappear for a whole year.

Presumably Martin is open to compromises, since he’s talked about his own experiences of working in TV?
Weiss: Yes, it’s a relief because it would be heartbreaking to have somebody who did what George did on the world-building front who didn't understand what it meant to adapt that to television and was agonized over every change.

Benioff: Did we tell you the story about [Martin’s experience as a TV writer on], I think it was “The New Twilight Zone”? He had written a scene with knights battling on horses at Stonehenge, and the director came to him and said, 'You can have the horses or you can have Stongehenge.' That's how we frame things: Sorry, we wish we could do all this, but we have to make a horse/Stonehenge choice.

Weiss: I don't remember George's choice in the original story, but I hope it was Stonehenge.
