AOLR Weekly Wrap-Up #29

This past week’s updates are mostly about The Back-up Plan!

• Three more trailers were spotted on YouTube for The Back-up Plan:
  • The French Canadian version
  • The Mexican version (with Spanish subtitles)
  • The Brazilian version (with Portuguese subtitles) – although this may not be an official release.
• Some gallery additions worth mentioning are the behind-the-scenes HQs provided by CBS Films and large crops of Alex O’Loughlin that I created from the original stills. I’ve also added the Windows wallpapers from the movie site for those of you who prefer not to deal with zip files. If you need Mac wallpapers, please download them from the official site (“Downloads”). And there is now also a Brazilian movie poster!
• Here is a cute tweet about Alex from makeup artist Christabel Draffin, a.k.a. MovieMole:

@BeautyAndDirt Ooh, I did the grooming for Alex O’ Loughlin (J Lo’s movie boyfriend) a while back – he’s not only gorge but really nice!

• The buzz from last Tuesday’s test screening in West Orange is good! The movie was funny and well received by the audience and Alex looked fabulous and had plenty of screen time. And we have another 75 days to go before we can see for ourselves Thanks for the reassurance, Deb!
• Also great to hear is that the movie theaters in the Ottawa, Canada region are showing The Back-up Plan trailer and according to the manager of a 24-theater movieplex, the buzz is that the movie will be a big hit. Thanks for sharing that, Skylar!
• In a recent TV interview with Jennifer Lopez, she talks about The Back-up Plan and there is also some behind-the-scenes footage from the movie. The segment starts at 2:16 in the video, which we have Nadioz to thank for!
• Don’t forget to keep an eye out for a 30-second teaser for The Back-up Plan during the Super Bowl. It looks like it will air pre- and post-game, according to SuperBowlAds.com and Staci Hayes tweeted “The Back-Up Plan Super Bowl teaser – look for it before the 3rd Qtr“! If you’re not one of  the 98 million viewers tuning in, check out the list of alternatives (including 33 TV marathons) provided by TVAholic.com!
• Sheesh, I almost forgot…! Voting has opened for the best 2010 Super Bowl ads, so please head over to SuperBowlAds.com and cast your vote for The Back-up Plan (and four others) ;-)! Thanks to Staci for the reminder!

There is one Donate Life item to share:

• 7-Eleven CEO Joe DePinto is an “Undercover Boss” in the new CBS reality show of the same name that debuts tonight and he recently appeared on Oprah. During his stint as undercover boss at a store in Shirley, N.Y. he discovered that the secret to the store’s selling 2,500 cups of coffee each day lies with store employee Dolores. To honor her, she received two season tickets to her beloved New York Yankees and because she requires kidney dialysis twice a week, 7-Eleven also pledged to donate $150,000 to Donate Life America. Check out the video segment from the show – thanks to Deb for the capture! For Donate Life updates, visit the Donate Life Organ & Tissue Donation Blog.
