Monster Trucks Trailer – Lucas Till gets a weird creature under his bonnet

November 17, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

monster-trucks-poster-slideMonster Trucks has been hanging around for a while, and the studio behind it has so little faith they’ve already written of a multi-million dollar loss on it. However, they’ve nevertheless given it a prime December 26th release date, in the hope of enticing kids while they’re out of school.

But while it may not be the hit they were originally hoping for, it does look bizarre enough that it might not be too bad.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Looking for any way to get away from the life and town he was born into, Tripp (Lucas Till), a high school senior, builds a Monster Truck from bits and pieces of scrapped cars. After an accident at a nearby oil-drilling site displaces a strange and subterranean creature with a taste and a talent for speed, Tripp may have just found the key to getting out of town and a most unlikely friend.

‘Melding cutting edge visual effects and state-of-the-art CGI, Monster Trucks is an action filled adventure for the whole family that will keep you on the edge of your seat and ultimately touch your heart.’ [Read more…]

The Infiltrator Trailer – Bryan Cranston goes undercover into Pablo Escobar’s world

August 2, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

infiltrator-slideSynopsis: ‘Amidst the lavish excess of the 1980s, Robert Musella became a pivotal player for drug lords cleaning their dirty cash. He traded on mob connections, to become the confidant to scores of the international underworld and the bankers who enabled them.

‘However, Robert Musella was, in fact, the undercover persona of Special Agent Robert Mazur: a US customs official who went further than any before him. Laying his life on the line, he infiltrated the globe’s largest cartels and discovered just how deep into society their influence extended. Welcomed into an inner-circle of violence and corruption, Mazur found himself in the tight embrace of those he had promised to take down.

‘Based on the true story of a fearless undercover agent, THE INFILTRATOR is a heart-stopping account of one of history’s most elaborate stings. The operation reeled in key players in a chain stretching all the way to Escobar. Their arrests would lead to the collapse of the Bank of Credit and Commerce International and shake the black economy to its core.’

The movie will be in cinemas in September. Take a look at the trailer below. [Read more…]

Monster Trucks Trailer – Or at least a monster in a truck, with Lucas Till

June 1, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

monster-trucks-slideI think it’s likely the title for this movie came before any idea about the plot, which may explain why the trailer suggests this is gonna be a bit of an odd movie. Not necessarily a bad one, but an odd one.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Looking for any way to get away from the life and town he was born into, Tripp (Lucas Till), a high school senior, builds a Monster Truck from bits and pieces of scrapped cars. After an accident at a nearby oil-drilling site displaces a strange and subterranean creature with a taste and a talent for speed, Tripp may have just found the key to getting out of town and a most unlikely friend.

‘Melding cutting edge visual effects and state-of-the-art CGI, Monster Trucks is an action filled adventure for the whole family that will keep you on the edge of your seat and ultimately touch your heart.’

Ice Age’s Chris Wedge directs the movie, which will be in cinemas February 2017. Take a look at the first trailer below. [Read more…]

Bridge Of Spies Trailer – Spielberg takes on the Cold War with Tom Hanks

June 7, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

bridge-of-spies-poster1Steven Spielberg is getting serious once more, this time reteaming with Tom Hanks to take on a tale of the Cold War and the precarious situation between the US and Russia in the 1960s.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘A dramatic thriller set against the backdrop of a series of historic events, DreamWorks Pictures/Fox 2000 Pictures’ “Bridge of Spies” tells the story of James Donovan, a Brooklyn lawyer who finds himself thrust into the center of the Cold War when the CIA sends him on the near-impossible task to negotiate the release of a captured American U-2 pilot. Screenwriters Matt Charman and Ethan Coen & Joel Coen have woven this remarkable experience in Donovan’s life into a story inspired by true events that captures the essence of a man who risked everything and vividly brings his personal journey to life.

‘Directed by three-time Academy Award®-winning director Steven Spielberg, “Bridge of Spies” stars: two-time Academy Award winner Tom Hanks as James Donovan; three-time Tony Award® winner Mark Rylance as Rudolf Abel, a KGB agent defended by Donovan; Scott Shepherd as CIA operative Hoffman; Academy Award nominee Amy Ryan as James’ wife, Mary; Sebastian Koch as East German lawyer Vogel; and Academy Award nominee Alan Alda as Thomas Watters, a partner at Donovan’s law firm. The film is produced by Spielberg, Marc Platt and Kristie Macosko Krieger with Adam Somner, Daniel Lupi, Jeff Skoll and Jonathan King serving as executive producers. The screenplay is by Matt Charman and three-time Academy Award winners Ethan Coen & Joel Coen.’

The movie will be in cinemas this autumn. [Read more…]

Amy Ryan, Alan Alda & Billy Magnussen Join Tom Hanks In Steven Spielberg’s Cold War Thriller

July 22, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

amy-ryanA couple of months ago Steven Spielberg set his next two movies – an adaptation of Roald Dahl’s The BFG and before that a currently untitled Cold War thriller that will reunite him with Tom Hanks. The latter movie is due to start shooting in September, so there’s not too much time for the director to fill out the rest of the cast.

Mark Rylance is already on-board and now Deadline reports that Amy Ryan, Alan Alda, Billy Magnussen and Eve Hewson are all in talks for the film.

Based on a true story, Tom Hanks is set to play American lawyer James Donovan, who is tasked by the US government to negotiate the release of American U-2 spy plane pilot Francis Gary Powers after his aircraft crashes in the Soviet Union.

Amy Ryan is set to be Donovan’s wife, although it’s not clear who Alda, Magnussen and Hewson will play.

Spielberg is directing from a script by Joel and Ethan Coen.

And if you need evidence of why it’s great news Billy Magnussen will be in the film, take a look at the pic below. [Read more…]

Birdman Trailer – Michael Keaton discovers life after superheroes

June 13, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

birdman-posterMichael Keaton had huge success as Batman in the late 80s and early 90s, and now he’s kind of returning to the superhero fold, playing an actor best known for playing a famed comic book figure in Birdman.

The Alejandro González Iñárritu movie also stars Emma Stone, Edward Norton, Naomi Watts, Amy Ryan and Zach Galifianakis, and from the evidence of this first trailer, it’s gonna be a good one.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘BIRDMAN or The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance is a black comedy that tells the story of an actor (Michael Keaton) – famous for portraying an iconic superhero – as he struggles to mount a Broadway play. In the days leading up to opening night, he battles his ego and attempts to recover his family, his career, and himself.’

The movie is out this autumn. [Read more…]

Breathe In (Blu-ray)

October 6, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Starring: Guy Pearce, Felicity Jones, Amy Ryan, Mackenzie Davis
Director: Drake Doremus
Running Time: 96 mins
Certificate: 15
Release Date: October 7th 2013

I loved Drake Doremus’ Like Crazy, which managed the rare feat of making a love story feel fresh, real, new and passionate. I had high hope for Breathe In, but unfortunately while there are some things to admire, the overall feeling is that the film is slightly tedious and contrived.

Sophie (Felicity Jones) is a foreign exchange student who arrives in upstate New York to stay with Keith (Guy Pearce), his wife Megan (Amy Ryan) and daughter Lauren (Mackenzie Davis). Keith and Sophie share a love of music, and slowly their musical connection develop into feelings for one another, but neither is sure whether they should act upon them. [Read more…]

Amy Ryan & Dane Dehaan Tie Themselves To The Devil’s Knot

June 14, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

The Devil’s Knot is gathering together an interesting cast, with Reese Witherspoon, Colin Firth, Mireille Enos, Alessandro Nivola, Collette Wolfe, Kris Polaha and Justin Castor already attached to the film. Now Variety reports that Oscar-nominee Amy Ryan (Gone Baby Gone) and Chronicle’s Dane DeHaan have entered talks for the movie.

Egoyan is working from a script written by The Exorcism Of Emily Rose’s Scott Derrickson and Paul Boardman, about the West Memphis 3, who were convicted of the murder of three young boys in Arkansas in the mid 90s. Even before they were convicted there were accusations of the investigation being bungled and the men being railroaded.

The youths were accused of murdering the boys in a Satanic ritual, with many suspecting they had just been caught up in a panic over Satanism that was sweeping the US (and other parts of the world) at the time, with the evidence made to fit what the prosecutors wanted it to, rather than what it did.

After years of campaigning, high-profile documentaries (particularly Paradise Lost and its sequel, which had a huge impact on the case), the three men were finally released – although it should be noted that it was part of a plea deal and they weren’t exonerated.

Ryan is set to play the wife of Firth’s character, with Colin as a private investigator who worked tirelessly to try and uncover the truth. Dehaan will be a teen who has some history with the three murdered boys. Shooting begins on June 25th.
