That might not sound like enough for an entire movie, but there will be plenty more to it in Clint Eastwood’s Sully, which has just released its first trailer.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘From Oscar-winning director Clint Eastwood (“American Sniper,” “Million Dollar Baby”) comes drama “Sully: Miracle On The Hudson”, starring Oscar winner Tom Hanks (“Bridge of Spies,” “Forrest Gump”) as Captain Chesley “Sully” Sullenberger.

‘On January 15, 2009, the world witnessed the “Miracle on the Hudson” when Captain “Sully” Sullenberger glided his disabled plane onto the frigid waters of the Hudson River, saving the lives of all 155 aboard. However, even as Sully was being heralded by the public and the media for his unprecedented feat of aviation skill, an investigation was unfolding that threatened to destroy his reputation and his career.

‘“Sully” also stars Aaron Eckhart (“Olympus Has Fallen,” “The Dark Knight”) as Sully’s co-pilot, Jeff Skiles, and Oscar nominee Laura Linney (“The Savages,” “Kinsey,” Showtime’s “The Big C”) as Sully’s wife, Lorraine Sullenberger.’

The film is set for an Oscar-friendly December release. [Read more…]

Aaron Eckhart Plans To Fade Out In A Psychological Thriller

November 6, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

aaron-eckhartAaron Eckhart has signed up for a film that sounds like it could be fascinating, although has a plot which if not handled carefully could result in a bit of a mess – it’ll be fascinating to see which is it. He’s taken the lead in a psychological thriller called Fade Out.

Eckhart will be screenwriter Jim Connelly, who is just getting over a nervous breakdown, being cared for by his glamorous wife Anne in a tropical beachfront villa. He begins to write a screenplay about a jealous husband who murders his unfaithful wife. However, his own paranoia causes fiction and reality to blur. As the events in Jim’s screenplay appear to materialise in real-life, he becomes a suspect in his own wife’s disappearance and must outrun the police as he pieces together the puzzle, which seems to have come from his own mind.

Producer Anthony Bregman commented, “Fade Out is as irresistible as a potent Caribbean cocktail: a twisted mind-bending thriller set in a sun-soaked beach town — from a smart script full of surprising twists, and with true artists in front of and behind the camera.”

Robert Salerno is set to direct from a script by Michael Cristofer. Production is slated to begin next February in Puerto Rico.

London Has Fallen For Gerard Butler, Aaron Eckhart & Morgan Freeman

October 29, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Olympus-has-fallen-posterMany had thought that in this year’s battle of terrorists-taking-over-the-White-House movies, White House Down would beat Olympus Has Fallen, but it was the latter that became the biggest hit, doing so well that a British set sequel is now in the works.

Currently titled London Has Fallen, Gerard Butler, Aaron Eckhart, Morgan Freeman, Angela Bassett and Radha Mitchell are all set to reprise their roles from the original, according to ScreenDaily.

As the title suggest, the film moves the action from Washington DC to London. US President Benjamin Asher (Aaron Eckhart) is in the UK to attend the funeral of the British Prime Minister, and has taken his Secret Service head, Mike Banning (Gerard Butler), with him. They must team up again to save the day with a British MI6 agent when a terrorist plot unfolds. Angela Bassett and Radha Mitchell are also set to reprise their roles as Secretary of Defense Ruth McMillan and Leah.

Olympus Has Fallen writers Creighton Rothenberger and Katrin Benedikt back writing the screenplay. Focus Features is currently seeking a director, as it seems Antoine Fuqua won’t return. Filming will begin on May 5th, 2014.

I, Frankenstein Trailer – Aaron Eckhart is all sewn together and supernatural

October 5, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment


This is one of those trailers that’s so busy trying to look cool that it’s doesn’t realise it actually looks a bit daft. That’s doesn’t mean the film can’t be fun, as long as a portentous tone doesn’t rob it on entertainment value.

Adam is hunted down by a clan of demons who want to learn Adam’s secret in order to reanimate deceased demons and start a new army.

Miranda Otto, Jai Courtney, Bill Nighy and Aden Young also star.

The release date has been slipping from February 2013 to September 2013 and now it’s due next January. [Read more…]
