Lauren Graham Oh,really? Yes, probably.
AB: Maybe, like, two.
LG: Two? Well, oh my goodness, we just got busy really fast! We didn’t even have the wedding.
AB: Well, it’s what the audience wanted.
LG: All right, well then, hey—we probably got married in year one. We’ve been away from the show three years. We had kid one in year two, and we had kid two in year three. That’s what Alexis says, and I am very overwhelmed by my toddlers.

I found an article in which they claim that Alexis Bledel’s new movie The Conspirator will be released in the spring of 2011.

The full-length feature movie “The Conspirator,” much of which was filmed in Savannah, will open in U.S. theaters next spring.

The true story of Mary Surratt, the only woman charged in the conspiracy to assassinate Abraham Lincoln, was directed by Robert Redford. Several Savannahians worked as extras during filming.

This is the first full-length feature from the American Film Company, a producing and financing venture formed last year by Joe Ricketts, founder of Ameritrade and owner of the Chicago Cubs.

The film’s distributors, Lionsgate and Roadside Attractions, have reached a deal for its U.S. rights, paving the way for it to be screened.

Releasing the film in the spring will ensure “The Conspirator” is eligible to make a run for major awards such as the Golden Globes and the Academy Awards.

With Redford as the director and a cast that includes Robin Wright, James McAvoy, Kevin Kline, Evan Rachel Wood, Ron Wilkinson and Alexis Bledel, the film is expected to be a serious Oscar contender.

“The Conspirator” recently had its world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival, where it was warmly received. The festival is considered the first stop for Oscar hopefuls, and Best Picture winners such as “Crash” and “The Hurt Locker” have premiered there.

Since The Good Guy had a limited release it ofcourse did not make the box office but I did find an article mentioning The Good Guy!

Doing very well in limited release in their debut weekends are the independent films The Ghost Writer and The Good Guy. First, the Roman Polanski directed film The Ghost Writer starring Ewan McGregor, Pierce Brosnan, Kim Cattrall, Olivia Williams, Tom Wilkinson, Timothy Hutton and Eli Wallach earned an impressive $44,750 on each of the four theaters that the film was shown in for an opening weekend total of $179,000. Also doing well in limited release was the Manhattan based romantic drama The Good Guy featuring former Gilmore Girls star Alexis Bledel, Scott Porter and Bryan Greenberg. The movie, which had an edge on the competition by opening Wednesday before the weekend was shown in only nine theaters and earned $4,022 per theater for a total of $36,200 in its debut week.

That’s so great! Go check out The Good Guy if you haven’t seen it yet.

It’s only fitting that “Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants” star Alexis Bledel is wearing a stylish salmon-colored dress for an interview rather than blue jeans. After all, the pretty, blue-eyed Houston native is no longer a teen.

Bledel, 28, is all grown up. Following a seven-year run on the popular TV series “Gilmore Girls,” playing a precocious teenager and the “Traveling Pants” adventures aimed at the high school crowd, she matriculated to the working world in “Post Grad” last year.

Now, in the independent pseudo-romantic comedy “The Good Guy,” she’s a full-fledged working Manhattanite with a good job, a place of her own and independence.
