Chris Hemsworth Will Never Get Out of This World Alive

September 17, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Chris-HemsworthIs there a bit of country music jealousy going on in the Marvel family? Tom Hiddleston is gearing up to star in a biopic of the legendary Hank Williams, and now his on-screen brother, Chris Hemsworth, has optioned the rights to Steve Earle’s novel I’ll Never Get Out Of This World Alive, which he plans to star in and produce, according to TheWrap.

The book also has a Hank Williams flavour as it’s about Toby ‘Doc’ Ebersole, who was involved in Williams’ death back in 1953. 10 years after that event, Ebersole has had his medical license revoked and is living in the red light district of San Antonio, Texas, where he supports his drug habit by performing illegal medical procedures. And just to make things a bit more complicated, he’s constantly haunted by Hank’s ghost.

The title comes from the last single Hank Williams released while he was alive.

Benjamin Grayson adapted the screenplay and will also direct. It’s not clear when it will shoot.

Chris Hemsworth & Charlie Day Heading Off On Vacation

August 26, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Chris-HemsworthEven though it has seemed close to going into production, back in April 2013 New Line put an indefinite delay on its long-planned reboot of the Vacation franchise. However now it seems it’s getting back on track, with THR reporting that Chris Hemsworth and Charlie Day are in talks to star.

Ed Helms is still onboard to play Rusty Griswold, the adult son of Chevy Chase’s Clark Griswold from the original Vacation movies. As you might expect, the new film involves another vacation, this time involving Rusty and his wife (Christina Applegate).

Hemsworth will apparently play the boyfriend of Rusty’s sister Audrey, with Charlie Day as a river raft touring guide.

Last year both Chevy Chase and Beverly D’Angelo were both signed on to reprise their roles as the older Griswolds, but it’s not clear if they’re still involved.

It seems the film will start shooting fairly soon, with Hemsworth squeezing it in between Avengers: Age Of Ultron and The Huntsman, which is due to start shooting in early 2015.

John Francis Daley and Jonathan M. Goldstein are set to direct, working from their own script.

Ice Bucket Challenge Redux: Chris Hemsworth, Vin Diesel, Tom Hiddleston, James Franco & Grant Gustin

August 19, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

tom-hiddleston-ice-bucket-challengeIt seems celebs can’t get enough of doing the Ice Bucket Challenge. Just yesterday we posted the likes of Chris Pratt, Stephen Amell, Matt Bomer and Joe Manganiello getting drenched for charity, and since then they’ve been joined by plenty more.

As a result you can see Chris Hemsworth, Tom Hiddleston, Vin Diesel, The Flash’s Grant Gustin and a pant-free James Franco have a bucket of ice water chucked over their heads. Diesel in particular has an impressive list of people he’s calling on to take the challenge next.

I’m also a fan of Tom Hiddleston in a wet white t-shirt.

They’re not doing it solely to jump on a bandwagon, as those taking part and also raising funds and awareness for ALS (commonly known as Lou Gehrig’s Disease in the US and motor neurone disease in the UK).

Take a look at the new Ice Bucket celebs below. [Read more…]

The Full Avengers: Age Of Ultron Concept Art Poster Is Here

July 26, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

avengers-comic-con-poster10Yesterday we posted four Avengers: Age Of Ultron concept art posters, and now we’ve got the other four, which all piece together to make the giant battle poster above.

The new posters feature Aaron Taylor-Johnson as Quicksilver, Mark Ruffalo’s Hulk, Jeremy Renner as Hawkeye and Chris Hemsworth’s Thor. And if you look at the Quicksilver pic you’ll notice someone floating about in the background, which is believed to be Vision.

Vision is the sentient, embodied version of Paul Bettany’s Jarvis, Tony Stark’s assistant. However it’s now known what side he’ll be on, or whether as in the comics he is created by villainous Ultron, which is other Stark tech designed to help mankind when the Avengers aren’t around, but which goes rogue and causes all manner of trouble.

Take a look at the posters above and below.

Take A 1st Official Look At Ultron & Aaron Johnson’s Quicksilver From Avengers: Age Of Ultron

July 16, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

EW-Avengers-Age-Of-Ultron-coverIt may not be out until May 2015, but EW is getting in early with a cover for Avengers: Age Of Ultron, which gives us our first popular look at the titular villain himself – Ultron.

Along with that are a set of cool (if rather generic images), which include a good look at a hunky blond Aaron Johnson and Elizabeth Olsen and Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch.

The accompanying story also confirms a couple of things, including that there will multiple Ultrons, and that they are based on Tony Stark’s technology, which became corrupted and turned evil.

The magazine says, ‘For better or worse (trust us, it’s worse), his Tony Stark has devised a plan that won’t require him to put on the Iron Man suit anymore, and should allow Captain America, Thor, Black Widow, Hawkeye, and the Hulk to get some much needed R&R as well. His solution is Ultron, self-aware, self-teaching, artificial intelligence designed to help assess threats, and direct Stark’s Iron Legion of drones to battle evildoers instead.

‘The only problem? Ultron (played by James Spader through performance-capture technology) lacks the human touch, and his superior intellect quickly determines that life on Earth would go a lot smoother if he just got rid of Public Enemy No. 1: Human beings. “Ultron sees the big picture and he goes, ‘Okay, we need radical change, which will be violent and appalling, in order to make everything better’; he’s not just going ‘Muhaha, soon I’ll rule!’” [director, Joss] Whedon says, rubbing his hands together.’

Take a look at the pics above and below. [Read more…]

Director Frank Darabont Takes On Chris Hemsworth’s The Huntsman

June 27, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

frank-darabontShawshank Redemption’s Frank Darabont has been working in the world of TV for the past few years on the likes of The Walking Dead and Mob City. However now he may be heading back to the movies as TheWrap reports that Universal wants him to helm the follow-up to Snow White and the Huntsman.

Although TheWrap still calls it Snow White and the Huntsman 2, THR refers to it as a spin-off called The Huntsman. The film will revolve around Chris Hemsworth’s character from the first film, and while Kristen Stewart may pop up as Snow White, her role would be a minor one at best.

Stewart’s involvement in the sequel has been up in the air ever since it was revealed she’d been having an affair with the married director of the first movie, Rupert Sanders. Initially it seemed that while he was out she’d remain, and in December 2012 she confirmed that she was returning. However other reports suggested she wouldn’t. Now it appears at best she’ll get a cameo.

Darabont had been on a shortlist that also included Gavin O’Connor (Warrior) and Andres Muschietti (Mama), but Universal has now decided who they want. However it’s not clear when the film will shoot.

First Pics Of Chris Hemsworth In Michael Mann’s Upcoming Techno-Thriller

June 6, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

chris-hemsworth-michael-mannChris Hemsworth may be busy on the Avengers: Age Of Ultron set at the moment, but before that he was working for Michael Mann to make an upcoming techno-thriller. The movie was shot under the title Cyber, but the tweet from actor Holt McCallany that accompanied one of the first pictures from the movie, suggests he may now become Black Hat.

There’s still not a vast amount of info about the plot, but it is known that it is set in the world of cyber threats and attacks, with a convicted criminal working with American and Chinese forces working together to prevent hacking. Viola Davis, Tang Wei and Wang Leehorn also star.

The movie is due out early next year, but you can see the first pics above and below.

The Thor 3 Script Gets Writers Craig Kyle & Christopher Yost

January 31, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

thor-the-dark-world-uk-quadAfter Thor: The Dark World grossed $632 million around the world, it’s little surprise that Marvel has decided it’s worth giving the hero another solo outing. So shortly after it was revealed Joe & Anthony Russo have been hired for a third Captain America movie, it’s been revealed that Craig Kyle and Christopher Yost will write the script for Thor 2.

Kyle was one of the producers on Thor and Thor: The Dark World, while Yost worked on the script for  Thor: The Dark World.

Due to his extensive deal, Chris Hemsworth is set to returns as Thor, although no plot details have been revealed at this time.

Marvel head Kevin Feige had this to say about Craid Kyle moving from producer on several of their projects to writer, “I am proud of Craig and have enjoyed working with him over these past years. His creative instincts have helped shape Thor and Thor: The Dark World) at every level of the filmmaking process. The entire team at Marvel is very happy to continue collaborating with Craig as he continues as a screenwriter working with Christopher on the forthcoming chapter of Thor’s adventure.”

Of course, before Thor 3, the hero will return in The Avengers: Age Of Ultron.

Rush (Blu-ray)

January 26, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Starring: Chris Hemsworth, Daniel Bruhl, Olivia Wilde, Alexandra Maria Lara, Pierfrancesco Favino
Director: Ron Howard
Running Time: 122 mins
Certificate: 15
Release Date: January 27th 2014

There were quite a few people who were expecting Rush to get a few Oscar nominations, but in the end it was shut out. It’s a shame as it’s a damn fine movie and should have got some kudos, even if it was only in the production design and cinematography departments, as it does such a great job of recreating 1970s Formula 1 racing.

The film tells the true story of the intense rivalry between the British James Hunt (Chris Hemsworth) and Austria’s Niki Lauda (Daniel Bruhl). They first meet in Formula 3, where it’s clear they are very different people. Hunt is a playboy whose life is about sex, drugs, partying and being everyone’s friend.  Lauda meanwhile is far more serious, seeing racing as being about business. He spends his time learning the mechanics of the cars, as well as showing off an arrogant streak that ensures none of the other drivers like him that much. [Read more…]
