I have added video from Disney‘s “A Poem Is” where Jen lent her voice to a Mother’s Song, a folk lullaby from the late 1800s that describes maternal love.

Disney is coming to town the first week in April — and I’m not talking about the Albany Civic Center.

They are coming to Third Avenue, and probably a few other places to film a segment of the new Walt Disney Pictures’ “The Odd Life of Timothy Green.”

Lisa Riddle, director of the Albany Convention and Visitors Bureau, confirmed that crews from Disney will be in Albany for about a week to shoot a scene from the movie.

The Disney crew and some of the actors will be in Albany for about a week shooting “on the avenues” and possibly in the Dawson area.
Starring in the movie are Jennifer Garner, Joel Edgerton and CJ Adams. It is unlikely that Garner will be part of the Albany filming, but the company has not announced the specifics of the location work here.

Most of the film is being shot in and around Atlanta and the surrounding counties of Walton, Morgan, Coweta and Cherokee.
Riddle said the Disney crew will have a positive influence on the local economy. They have arranged for approximately 30 hotel rooms for the week and have hired a couple of local companies to assist them.

According to Disney, this is the storyline: “The Odd Life of Timothy Green” is an inspiring magical story about a couple, Cindy and Jim Green (Jennifer Garner and Joel Edgerton), who can’t wait to start a family but can only dream about what their child would be like. When young Timothy (CJ Adams) shows up on their doorstep one stormy night, Cindy and Jim, and their small town of Stanleyville, discover a whole new view on what it is to love and be loved.”

We all know how important reading is to Jennifer Garner — she and her adorable daughters (Violet, 5, and Seraphina, 2) are always spotted out and about with books in hand.

So it’s no surprise the Emmy-nominated actress jumped at the chance to narrate Disney‘s “A Poem Is” video series.

Garner lent her voice to a Mother’s Song, a folk lullaby from the late 1800s that describes maternal love, which you and your child can view at disneyjunior.com.

But the mom-of-two isn’t the only celeb parent to participate. Katie Holmes also narrated Mice, a poem by Rose Fyleman.

And Whoopi Goldberg and Alfred Molina are the latest additions. You can watch their video shorts on Disney Junior TV channel all this week (check local listings for times). Or you can view them on Disney Junior’s Youtube channel.

”Arthur”, the 1981 classic which starred Dudley Moore as the alcohol-guzzling, wildly wealthy New York party boy and the bold, brash and loveable Liza Minnelli is being remade for a new generation starring Russell Brand, Helen Mirren, Jennifer Garner, Nick Nolte and Greta Gerwig.

When Arthur’s parents threaten to cut him off from the family fortune if he doesn’t settle down and marry their woman of choice (played by Jennifer Garner), he must decide which is more important; the abundant fortune – all he has ever known, or the real woman (Greta Gerwig) of his dreams.

Moviehole’s Tim Johnson spent a day on-set of the film just outside New York City and spoke to the director and film’s stars between takes. While Brand was a huge fan of the original, surprisingly Helen Mirren says it wasn’t the original film that drew her to this production. (more…)
