Jeff Wadlow Set To Direct Kick-Ass 2

May 9, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

When Kick-Ass failed to break the bank, it looked like any plans for a follow-up were sytmied, even though one has been in development. However its continued popularity on DVD and Blu-ray means that Universal is now looking to move forward with a sequel. Unfortunately though, Matthew Vaughn won’t direct, with Deadline reporting that Jeff Wadlow (Cry Wolf) will take the reins instead and also write the script.

Vaughn isn’t completely out of the picture, as he’ll produce and has been overseeing Wadlow’s screenplay, even if X-Men: First Class 2 mean he can’t direct himself. If everything works out, the movie will shoot in August. There’s a lot to sort out before then though, as all the cast need to be called back, with new deals needing to be sorted for Aaron Johnson, Chloe Moretz and Christopher Mintz-Plasse.

It’s not all locked in place yet, but as many people had written this one off, it’s looking far more likely than it has for a long time.

Savages Trailer – Taylor Kitsch & Aaron Johnson in Oliver Stone’s latest

April 6, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

It looks like Oliver Stone is moving back to the world of crime, drama and mixed film stocks with Savages, which seems more like his successful films on the 90s than the likes of Alexander and Wall Street 2. In the film, Laguna Beach ‘entrepreneurs’ Ben (Aaron Johnson) and Chon (Taylor Kitsch), run a lucrative, homegrown industry – raising some of the best marijuana ever developed. They also share a one-of-a-kind love with the extraordinary beauty Ophelia (Blake Lively). Life is idyllic in their Southern California town, until the Mexican Baja Cartel decides to move in and demands that the trio partners with them. When the merciless head of the BC, Elena (Salma Hayek), and her brutal enforcer, Lado (Benicio Del Toro), underestimate the unbreakable bond among these three friends, Ben and Chon – with the reluctant, slippery assistance of a dirty DEA agent (John Travolta) – wage a seemingly unwinnable war against the cartel. And so begins a series of increasingly vicious ploys and maneuvers in a high stakes, savage battle of wills. Savages is due out in the UK on September 28th, 2012.

First Poster For Oliver Stone’s Savages Debuts

April 3, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Will Taylor Kitsch be able to reclaim his year? John Carter flopped and there are already rumblings that Battleship isn’t very good, but he does have another movie that’s very different to his big budget rides and could show he’s got real star potential after all – Savages. Now the rather cool first poster for the movie has arrived, via JoBlo, which you can see above.

Based on Don Winslow’s novel, Savages is about two California weed growers (Kitsch & Aaron Johnson), whose lives are turned upside down when their shared girlfriend (Blake Lively) is kidnapped by a Mexican cartel enforcer (Benicio Del Toro). The film is due in cinemas in September.

Some new character posters for Pixar’s Brave have also popped up online, and you can see those below. That film’s out August 17th.
