New photo Sandra Bullock stars in apocalyptic thriller Bird Box which is very tense and eerie

THIS may as well be called “A Blind Place”.

There’s a Hollywood phenomena called Twin Films, where every now and then extraordinarily similar movies are released virtually simultaneously – think Braveheart vs Rob Roy, Finding Nemo vs Shark Tale or especially The Jungle Book vs last week’s Mowgli.

Sandra Bullock plays Malorie, a reluctant guardian to two children

Often it’s down to similar screenplays having a race to be first to reach an audience, but occasionally something called a ‘mockbuster’ is made – something attempting to piggyback a success.

Now I’m not suggesting either of those are applicable in Bird Box; Boxes case (although both could fit), but the similarities to John Krasinski’s HUGE 2018 hit are undeniable.

Sandra Bullock plays Malorie, a reluctant guardian to two children who, after a strange, almost biblical turn of events, find themselves having to navigate through America’s forests completely blindfolded, or else running the risk of certain death.

Via flashbacks, we learn of their journey to this point and how much of a risk they have undertaken.

Yes it’s an extremely similar premise to A Quiet Place, but so what – It’s got a brilliant cast

(Sarah Paulson, Tom Holland, John bloody Malkovich for goodness sake) and it’s on Netflix, so you don’t have to leave the house. I really enjoyed it for all it’s tense, gory, eerie, if not entirely original tropes.

Size: 8
Age: 18
Height: 5ft 1in
Weight: 8st

To achieve her kick-ass figure, Hayden – who plays cheerleader Claire Bennet in Heroes – follows the ‘quartering’ rule. She eats only a quarter of the food on her plate, then waits 20 minutes before deciding whether she needs to eat again.

Hayden says: “I don’t have a model’s body, but I’m not one of those crazy girls who thinks that they’re fat. I’m OK with what I have.”

Nicollette says: “I don’t like diets – I see it, I eat it! I believe in eating healthily with lots of protein, vegetables and carbs to give you energy.”

SATC star Kim swears by gym sessions with Russian kettle bells (traditional cast-iron weights) and the South Beach Diet to give her the body she wants. To avoid overeating, Kim has a radical diet trick – squirting lemon juice on her leftovers – so she won’t carry on picking.

Kim says: “I am no super-thin Hollywood actress. I am built for men who like women to look like women.”
