Focus Trailer – Will Smith turns con man opposite Margot Robbie

October 10, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

focus-slideWill Smith has been very picky about what movies he’ll star in for the last few years, however he’s got a new one coming up called Focus, where he turns con man who take a younger grafter under his wing (and as you can see from the pic above, he’s certainly been hitting the gym).

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Will Smith stars as Nicky, a seasoned master of misdirection who becomes romantically involved with novice con artist Jess (Margot Robbie). As he’s teaching her the tricks of the trade, she gets too close for comfort and he abruptly breaks it off. Three years later, the former flame—now an accomplished femme fatale—shows up in Buenos Aires in the middle of the high-stakes racecar circuit. In the midst of Nicky’s latest, very dangerous scheme, she throws his plans for a loop… and the consummate con man off his game.’

It’s something a bit different for Will, whose previously been known to turn down roles if his character wasn’t an out-and-out good guy, and that certainly doesn’t seem to be the case here. The movie is due out early 2015. [Read more…]

Charlie Hunnam May Find The Mountain Between Us

September 5, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

charlie-hunnam-slideAlthough the jury is still out about just how good an actor Charlie Hunnam is, Hollywood certainly feels the Sons Of Anarchy star has he’s got what it takes.

A few days ago it was revealed he was top of the list to play the lead role in Guy Ritchie’s King Arthur movie, and now Deadline reports that he and Margot Robbie are in talks for The Mountains Between Us.

Based on Charles Martin’s book, Mountains is ‘a harrowing tale of survival and a love story. Ashley is a writer catching a flight from Salt Lake City and heading East for her wedding. Ben is a doctor returning from a medical conference. When their flight is cancelled due to a broken de-icer, the strangers agree to charter a ride, only to see the pilot suffer a heart attack and crash into a desolate snowy mountain region. He breaks ribs and she suffers a leg fracture. Fortunately, aside from a doctor he’s an avid climber, and as he struggles to get her down from the mountain in harsh weather, she begins to realize that maybe she was headed to marry the wrong guy.

Hany Abu-Assad (Paradise Now) is set to direct the film, although it’s not known when it will shoot.

Margot Robbie On For Ghost in the Shell Movie

September 5, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Margot-RobbieAfter the endless issues getting a live-action version of Akira off the ground, you might have thought Hollywood would have given up on trying to adapt manga for the big screen. Now one is getting a bit closer though, as Wolf Of Wall Street’s Margot Robbie is in early negotiations to star in Dreamworks’ live-action adaptation of Ghost in the Shell, according to TheWrap.

The movie’s been in the works for over five years (it’s a bit of a passion project for Steven Spielberg), but got momentum back in January when Rupert Sanders signed up to star.

The project is based on Masamune Shirow’s 1989 Manga, which is about a covert unit within the Japanese National Public Safety Commission who fight tech-related crimes. Since it’s publication, it’s been adapted into an animate powerhouse franchise with the likes of Ghost In The Shell, Ghost in the Shell 2: Innocence, Ghost in the Shell: Individual Eleven, Ghost in the Shell: Solid State Society, Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex – The Laughing Man and Ghost in the Shell 2.0. It’s also been turned into successful videogames.

There’s still no news on when the film will shoot though.

The film is based on the Japanese Manga comics created by Masamune Shirow and follows a member of a covert ops unit of the Japanese National Public Safety Commission focused on fighting technological crime.
Margot Robbie’s role is currently undecided. The actress most recently starring in Martin Scorsese’s The Wolf of Wall Street alongside Leonardo DiCaprio and Jonah Hill. She will next be seen in the Warner Bros. drama Focus and Craig Zobel’s sci-fi project Z for Zachariah. She is currently shooting Tarzan in which she stars as Jane opposite Alexander Skarsgå.
Rupert Sanders is directing from a script by Bill Wheeler. Avi Arad, Steven Paul and Mark Sourian will be producing. No production schedule has been released.

margot-robbieAfter delays and problems over the budget, David Yates’ Tarzan movie in moving forward once again. The likes of Alexander Skarsgard are already onboard, but the project has been searching around for a Jane. Numerous names have been mentioned, but now it appears they’ve found the woman they want, as TheWrap reports Wolf Of Wall Street’s Margot Robbie is in talks for the role.

There’s no official details on the exact direction the movie will take with Edgar Rice Burroughs’ famed character, although we do know Skarsgard will be Tarzan, with Christoph Waltz playing the main villain.

The Wolf Of Wall Street (Cinema)

January 15, 2014 By Tim Isaac 2 Comments

Starring: Leonardo DiCaprio, Jonah Hill, Kyle Chandler, Matthew MacConaughey, Margot Robbie
Director: Martin Scorsese
Running Time: 180 mins
Certificate: 18
Release Date: Jan 17th 2014

We’ve had Wall Street, Boiler Room, Margin Call and, God help us all, Wall Street 2. Now we get Martin Scorsese’s take on the 1990s decade of excess, in which a tiny number of people got very rich by ripping off ordinary people by selling worthless junk bonds.

Leonardo DiCaprio’s Jordan Belfort is, theoretically, a hugely conflicted and interesting character. As he admits, he’s not a Harvard type, merely an ordinary Joe driven to making his millions, initially hit by starting his first day at work on Black Monday – which turns out to be his last. Undeterred he takes a job at a rundown Long Island firm, selling junk bonds over the phone and making cash fast thanks to his winning charm. [Read more…]

New The Wolf of Wall Street Trailer – Martin Scorsese takes Leo DiCaprio into a mad world of money

October 30, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment


Movies about people in the financial world don’t usually sound that much fun, and to be honest on paper that’s true of The Wolf Of Wall Street, but as this trailer shows, it could be incredibly entertaining in its insanity.

The based-on-a-true-story movie is about Jordan Belfort’s meteoric rise, where he made making millions selling phony stocks before he was arrested and sentenced to 22 months in prison for securities fraud. Matthew McConaughey, Jonah Hill, Kyle Chandler, Jean Dujardin, Margot Robbie, Jon Bernthal, Rob Reiner, and Jon Favreau also star.

Martin Scorsese directs from a screenplay by Boardwalk Empire creator Terence Winter. Although it wasn’t certain whether the film would be ready for a prime Oscar-bait release at the end of the year, it now appears it will indeed by going for an awards push. [Read more…]

Christoph Waltz & Emma Stone Wanted For Tarzan, Opposite Alexander Skarsgard

September 26, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

christoph-waltzOften when a movie gets delayed, it’s a polite way of saying we’ll never hear anything about it again. It appeared that might happen to David Yates’ new live-action take on Tarzan, when in April Warner put the brakes on due to the high budget. Even the production office was shut down, which is usually a sign of impending doom.

However it now appears things are gearing up again, with Variety reporting Christoph Waltz has entered negotiations to join the film, while TheWrap adds that Emma Stone is the top choice to play Jane.

They’d join the previously cast Alexander Skarsgard, who’s still attached to the title role. However it appears that while Warner wants Stone, she may turn down the movie due to her crowded schedule. Margot Robbie is the other main actress being eyed, who may be more free to take the role. Jessica Chastain was previously said to in the running, but it appears she’s no longer involved.

If he does sign up, Waltz would play a military type, but there’s no more info than that.

Despite the problems, it’s believed Tarzan is close to a greenlight, with plans to shoot next summer.

Margot Robbie Comes Into Focus, Starring Opposite Will Smith

July 16, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

margot-robbieMargot Robbie’s career should get a good boost soon thanks to a major role in Martin Scorsese’s The Wolf Of Wall Street, and now she’s following that up with another big movie, as Variety reports that she’s landed the female lead opposite Will Smith in Focus.

The likes of Michelle Williams, Jessica Biel and Rose Byrne and Olivia Munn also tested for the role over the last few weeks, with the part coming down to a contest between Robbie and Munn. No official offer has apparently been made, but insiders says Robbie is the one who’s been chosen.

Smith and Robbie is certainly a different pairing than was originally planned, as the first idea was to have Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone re-team for the con-man movie, but timings couldn’t be worked out. Brad Pitt and Ben Affleck were also considered for the male lead, with Kristen Stewart also flirted with for the movie.

Now it finally seems the cast is sorted and the film can move forward, with Glenn Ficarra and John Requa directing. It ‘follows an inexperienced female con artist who teams up with a more seasoned male one’.

Margot Robbie & Cristin Milioti Up For The Wolf Of Wall Street

June 19, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Leonardo DiCaprio is getting a couple of wives, on-screen at least, as Broadway actress Cristin Milioti is in talks to play his first wife in The Wolf of Wall Street, while Pan Am star Margot Robbie is negotiating for the female lead, the second spouse.

The story, based on Jordan Belfort’s memoirs, chronicles his life as a phony stockbroker, who swindled millions out of investors before being caught. The adaptation also deals with his rocky personal life and addictions to drugs and alcohol. Jonah Hill and Kyle Chandler also star.

Robbie will play Nadine, the current wife of DiCaprio’s Jordan Belfort, while the lesser known Milioti will be the first wife, a hairdresser who was devoted to her husband, until he started to have affairs.

Terence Winter (Boardwalk Empire) wrote the screenplay for Martin Scorsese to direct. Production is scheduled to begin this August in New York City. (Source: Variety)
