Carey Mulligan to star in Gatsby remake
THE NEXT PANEL
Conceptis SudoKu
LOS ANGELES — Carey Mulligan has two buzzy films this fall in "Drive" and "Shame." But she's currently taking on a project that has its own share of conversation, some of the polarizing sort, for the 2012 holiday season. The British actress is shooting "The Great Gatsby" as imagined by Baz Luhrmann.
SUDOKU
Mulligan, who plays the iconic Daisy Buchanan in the film, said she feels her own pressure to perform.
Yes, that Baz Luhrmann, who modernized "Romeo and Juliet" and brought flash to period Paris in "Moulin Rouge" — and who will have all eyes on him as he brings his sensibility to the Fitzgerald classic.
"It's very nerve-racking," the actress said by phone from Australia, where she is shooting the movie. "I know how much the book means, especially in America.

Twilight scene causes seizures
BALTIMORE — Shaking, sweating and swooning are par for the course among the passionate young fans of the "Twilight" series. But reports that a scene in "Breaking Dawn" has been sparking seizures in theaters nationwide has epilepsy experts on the alert and parents thinking twice about letting their kids see the movie.
Officials at the Maryland-based Epilepsy Foundation issued a warning this week to their nearly 11,000 followers on Facebook, saying people prone to certain types of seizures might want to skip the film, which has been the top-grossing movie in the country for two weeks straight.
"If you were parents of a child with epilepsy, you would not send your child to the movie," says Mimi Carter, the foundation's director of communications. "Why would you risk it?"
There have been at least nine reported instances of people suffering seizures during "Breaking Dawn," the latest installment in the teen vampire series. The trigger seems to be a particularly intense birth scene that involves a strobe effect with flashes of red, white and black light.
remembered nothing of the attack, but his girlfriend, Kelly Bauman, told reporters, "He scared me big time."
In another instance, a woman who took her daughters to see the movie in Oregon starting feeling "strange" during the birth scene.
I " (s)started feeling sick to my stomach, like I was going to be sick." Tina Goss told television station KATU in Portland. "Really hot, really sweaty, like on the verge of vomiting."
Goss told reporters she wasn't coherent again until arriving at a hospital. "My hands were completely blue for like two to three hours," she said. "The next day, I was so lethargic I felt like I'd, you know, like ran eight marathons."
Other instances have been reported in Maine, Utah, Massachusetts and Canada.
Many more people say they have gotten sick during the movie — for reasons that have nothing to do with epilepsy. On Twitter, for instance, dozens of teens say they have queted and even vomited or fainted during the movie's griller interludes, which include a fair amount of blood and gore.
A retired physician in California, Zach Pine, began documenting cases on a website after his 18-year-old son, who had never had a seizure, suffered one during the movie. He lists nine reported instances on his Google page.
People susceptible to this sort of attack suffer from what's known as photosensitivity, a stimulus-induced seizure disorder.
While epilepsy is relatively uncommon in the population about 3 million Americans have it photosensitivity is even rarer, occurring in just 3 percent of those with epilepsy.
