The supernatural horror It Follows got writer/director David Robert Mitchell plenty of attention, and also ensured his next movie was going to be bigger budget with a better known cast. That follow-up is Under The Silver Lake, which stars Andrew Garfield, Riley Keough and Topher Grace.
Here’s the synopsis: ‘From the dazzling imagination that brought you It Follows comes a delirious neonoir fever dream about one man’s search for the truth behind the mysterious crimes, murders and disappearances in his East L.A. neighborhood. Sam (Andrew Garfield) is a disenchanted 33-year-old who discovers a mysterious woman, Sarah (Riley Keough), frolicking in his apartment’s swimming pool. When she vanishes, Sam embarks on a surreal quest across Los Angeles to decode the secret behind her disappearance, leading him into the murkiest depths of mystery, scandal and conspiracy in the City of Angels.’
The film will be out in the US in June, but no UK date is currently set. Take a look at the trailer below. [Read more…]
Andrew Garfield sparked a backlash (from the more easily scandalised part of the LGBT world) when he joked that he was ‘gay man right now, just without the physical act’. Quite how vociferously angry some peope were could have resulted in Garfield being a lot more guarded, but it doesn’t seem to have had that effect.

While the first part of Tony Kushner’s two-part, Angels in America: A Gay Fantasia on National Themes, Millennium Approaches, was first performed in San Francisco, it was the 1992 British National Theatre production which helped state the play’s claim to being something exceptional. It and it’s follow-up, Perestroika, went of to win the Pulitzer Prize for Drama, the Tony Award for Best Play, and the Drama Desk Award for Outstanding Play, amongst other gongs.
The members of The Hollywood Foreign Press Association sure like La La Land, with the movie taking a record seven Golden Globes, more than any other single movie has ever taken. It did so well that the only categories it was eligible for that it didn’t pick up, were the the Supporting Actress and Actor categories – and seeing as the movie is so strongly built around Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone, that’s not too much of a surprise.
Martin Scorsese has been attached to Silence for years. However he kept putting it back, to the point where it briefly ended up in court as some of the backers felt he was essentially preventing it from actually getting made by never getting round to making it, but keeping himself attached to helm.
Andrew Garfield is currently getting praise following the Venice Film Festival premiere of his latest movie, Hacksaw Ridge (directed by Mel Gibson). However, as well as spending time re-enacting a brutal look at a pacifist serving during World War II, he’s also been in a bathtub, getting drenched while eating a banana.
Many thought that after his last set of outbursts a few years ago, Mel Gibson had blown it so badly that he’d never be allowed on a film set again. However, he’s has a few small movie roles, and is now returning to the director’s chair with Hacksaw Ridge, 10 years after his last outing behind the camera, Apocalypto.
Last month it was revealed that Andrew Garfield and Olivier Award winner Denise Gough were set to star in a new London National Theatre production of Tony Kushner’s Pulitzer Prize-winning play, Angels In America. Now it’s been announced that they will be joined by Russell Tovey, according to
