By Leave a Comment

Michelle-MonaghanMichelle Monaghan has been having recent success with True Detective, but now she’s heading in a slightly different director as she has signed up to play the female lead in Pixels, according to THR, opposite Adam Sandler, Kevin James, Josh Gad and Peter Dinklage.

The movie is based on Patrick Jean’s 2010 short film, which sees New York City being transformed into and destroyed by 8-bit pixel classic videogames. This movie version is about aliens who confused a video feeds of classic arcade games as a declaration of war against their species. As a result they attack the Earth by staging versions of these games in real life on a massive scale.

Kevin James will be the US President, who turns to his childhood best friend (Sandler) to lead a team of gamers to stop this attack. Sandler is a former video game champion who now makes his living as a home theatre installer. Josh Gad is portraying a genius obsessed with conspiracy theories, while Peter Dinklage will play Adam Sandler’s brash rival.

Monaghan meanwhile is playing a weapons developer who’s the love interest of Adam Sandler’s character. Yes, once again in Hollywoodland a schlubby man has a ridiculously beautiful and significantly younger woman as their love interest.

Chris Columbus is directing from a script by Tim Herlihy and Timothy Dowling. Negotiations are currently underway to include several classic videogames in the movie.

By Leave a Comment

peter-dinklagePeter Dinklage’s star is certainly on the rise. Following his huge success in Game Of Thrones, he’s getting villainous this summer in X-Men: Days Of Future Past and now TheWrap reports that he is in final talks to join the cast of Pixels.

The cast already includes Adam Sandler, Kevin James and Josh Gad, and based on Patrick Jean’s 2010 short film of the same name, where New York City gets turned into 8-bit videogame pixels by classic old-school titles.

The feature-length version follows an alien race who attack New York City by staging versions of 1980s video games on an epic scale. Humanity’s only hope are four arcade video game champions who are recruited by the government to stop this dangerous threat. Dinklage will play one of these champions, alongside Sandler, James and Gad.

Chris Columbus is set to direct from a script by Tim Herlihy and Timothy Dowling. Sony is apparently envisaging this as a big-budget tentpole in the same vein as Ghostbusters, so expect some massive effects when it’s released next year.

First Image Of Adam Sandler In The Cobbler Arrives

By Leave a Comment

cobbler-preview-pic1The Cobbler came together really quickly, largely because the time between Adam Sandler deciding to make it and when he’d be need on the set of Jason Reitman’s Men, Women & Children was very short. So only a few weeks after it was officially announced in September, a (surprisingly good) cast was rounded up and the movie went into production.

Now the first image from the movie has arrived, which you can see above.

Sandler plays the title character, a shoe repairman blessed with the ability to enter the lives of his customers. The likes of Dan Stevens, Dustin Hoffman, Method Man, Steve Buscemi plays a character named Manny.

Thomas McCarthy is directing from a screenplay he co-wrote with Paul Sado. Of the film McCarthy tells EW, “I lived above a shoe-repair shop in New York City that I used to walk by every day, and I always just kind of was fascinated with it, looking in and seeing an endless maze of shoes sitting around. I was kind of thinking about the expression of, ‘You don’t know a man until you walk a mile in his shoes’ one day and what the origin of that was and what that would mean to translate that into a story.”

By Leave a Comment

Dan-StevensDan Stevens is an increasingly busy man. Even since he left Downton Abbey he’s booked a slew of roles in the likes of The Fifth Estate, A Walk Among The Tombstone, The Guest and just a few days ago, Night At The Museum 3.

Now he’s got another as Variety reports he’s joined the cast of The Cobbler, alongside Adam Sandler. Tom McCarthy is set to direct.

Not too much is known about the film, other than it’s set in the modern day and follows ‘a shoe man who has the ability to metaphysically step into the lives of the people whose shoes he repairs.’

McCarthy is best known for The Station Agent and The Visitor, and will start filming The Cobbler very soon, as Sandler wants to fit it in before moving on to Jason Reitman’s Men Women & Children (another less overtly comic venture for the actor). It also mean Stevens has time for this before Night At The Museum 3 begins shooting in January.
