Disobedience Trailer – Rachel McAdams & Rachel Weisz are forbidden lovers in the lesbian themed movie

February 4, 2018 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

It’s not easy for Rachel McAdams & Rachel Weisz in Disobedience, where they play women whose love would be vigorously condemned by the Orthdox Jewish community they come from. The movie is based on Naomi Alderman’s novel, with Sebastian Lelio directing. The lesbian-themed movie premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival to pretty good review, which praised the acting and how heartfelt the somewhat melancholic movie is.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Happily single and living a rich life as a photographer in New York, Ronit (Rachel Weisz) is very much the black sheep of her London-based Orthodox Jewish family. When her revered rabbi father dies, Ronit returns home to pay her respects and liquidate her inheritance. But surprises await, chief among them the news that Dovid (Alessandro Nivola) — the heir apparent to Ronit’s father and very much the son he never had — has married Ronit’s childhood friend Esti (Rachel McAdams). While Dovid prepares to take over the hallowed place at the synagogue, Ronit and Esti become reacquainted. An old flame is reignited — one that could torch everything this family most cherishes.’

Disobedience is due out in the US in April. An August UK release is currently set, but take a look at the trailer below. [Read more…]

Selma Trailer – David Oyelowo takes on a key moment in MLK’s civil rights struggle

November 7, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

selma-pic2You wouldn’t think making a movie about one of the most important moments in the Civil Rights struggle in the US would be that difficult to get off the ground, but Selma faced a massive struggle. Even with Lee Daniels directing and a high profile cast attached (including Hugh Jackman and others), it couldn’t get funding).

However now it’s finally happened, with Ava DuVernay directing and David Oyelowo, Tom Wilkinson, Cuba Gooding Jr., Alessandro Nivola, Giovanni Ribisi Common, Carmen Ejogo, Lorraine Toussaint, Tim Roth, and Oprah Winfrey starring.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘SELMA is the story of a movement. The film chronicles the tumultuous three-month period in 1965, when Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. led a dangerous campaign to secure equal voting rights in the face of violent opposition. The epic march from Selma to Montgomery culminated in President Johnson (Tom Wilkinson) signing the Voting Rights Act of 1965, one of the most significant victories for the civil rights movement. Director Ava DuVernay’s SELMA tells the story of how the revered leader and visionary Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. (David Oyelowo) and his brothers and sisters in the movement prompted change that forever altered history.’

Selma opens in a few US cinemas on December 25th, 2014, and will go wide in early January. A February 6th UK release is planned. [Read more…]

Alessandro Nivola On For David O. Russell’s Latest

March 13, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

alessandro-nivolaAfter the success of Silver Lining Playbook, director David O. Russell is planning to get back behind the camera as quickly as possible for his next movie. The film is currently untitled, but was previously known as American Bulls**t.

Jeremy Renner, Bradley Cooper, Amy Adams, Christian Bale, Louis C.K. and Jennifer Lawrence are already confirmed to star, and now Deadline reports they’ll be joined by Alessandro Nivola (Jurassic Park III).

The movie is based on the true story of a con man (Bale) who unwillingly helped an FBI agent (Cooper) uncover a massive abscam conspiracy that spanned all across the Eastern Seaboard, and resulted in several corrupt politicians being brought down. Nivola will play Federal Prosecutor Reggio, who tried the final case in court.

It’s also been revealed that the movie will have a tight production schedule, as it’s yet to shoot but a December 13th, 2013 US release is already set, in the hope it will be in contention for Oscars.
