White Bird in a Blizzard Trailer – Shailene Woodley stars in Gregg Araki’s latest

December 14, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment


Gregg Araki was at the forefront of the Queer Cinema movement on the 1990s, and indeed all his movies since then have had an LGBT tint. However things will be less overtly gay with his latest, White Bird in a Blizzard, which is due to premiere at Sundance. Ahead of that though we’ve got our first look at the movie with a trailer.

Based on Laura Kasischke’s 1999 novel, the film a young woman who loses control of her life when her mother disappears. Shailene Woodley plays the main role, with the likes of Eva Green (as the mother), Angela Bassett, Shiloh Fernandez, Christopher Meloni and Gabourey Sidibe co-starring.

The movie will screen at Sundance, but there’s no word yet on when it will be released to general audiences. [Read more…]

Black Nativity Trailer – A slightly different kind of musical with Jennifer Hudson & more

September 4, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment


Black Nativity has sounded interested even since it was announced that the Langston Hughes’s classic 1961 musical was finally going to be made. Now the first trailer has been released and it looks even more intriguing.

It’s about a Baltimore teenage boy who is sent to Harlem to spend Christmas with the grandparents he never met. Through his grandfather’s Christmas Eve sermon and a stylised, dream-sequence retelling of the classic Nativity story, he learns about the importance of faith and family.

Forest Whitaker, Angela Bassett, Jennifer Hudson, Tyrese Gibson and Mary J. Blige star, with Kasi Lemmons directing. Unsurprisingly the film will be out at Christmas. [Read more…]

Forest Whitaker Joins Angela Bassett & Jennifer Hudson In Black Nativity

November 30, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

It looked like Black Nativity was done for. Earlier this year ts seemed Samuel L. Jackson was set to step into the lead, but when a deal couldn’t be made, production was delayed indefinitely and it appeared the film might be dead. However now news comes, via BlackFilm, that Forest Whitaker will join Angela Basset, and Jennifer Hudson in director Kasi Lemmons’ film.

The story is adapted from the Langston Hughes libretto that was turned into a Broadway gospel musical in 1961. It’s about a Baltimore teenage boy who is sent to Harlem to spend Christmas with the grandparents he never met. hrough his grandfather’s Christmas Eve sermon and a stylised, dream-sequence retelling of the classic Nativity story, he learns about the importance of faith and family.

Whitaker and Bassett are set to play the estranged grandparents, Rev. Clarence and Aretha Cobbs. Hudson will be the boy’s mother, who hasn’t spoken to her father since they had a falling out after she got pregnant. Whitaker will likely play multiple characters during the Nativity sequence.

Kasi Lemmons will direct from her own adapted screenplay, with production kicking off in January.

Samuel L Jackson & Angela Bassett Up For Black Nativity

July 4, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Samuel L. Jackson may be 63, but he sure ain’t slowing down and continues to be in pretty much every movie going. Now he’s got another one, as he’s signed on to star in Black Nativity, along with Angela Bassett. Jennifer Hudson is also likely to star, although she hasn’t signed a deal yet.

Kasi Lemmons is directing and adapting Langston Hughes’ 1961 gospel Broadway musical, which reframes the biblical story as the dreams of a black teenager. The film sees the troubled Baltimore teen being sent to stay with the grandparents he’s never met in Harlem. Through his grandfather’s Christmas Eve sermon and a stylised, dream-sequence retelling of the classic Nativity story, he learns about the importance of faith and family.

Jackson and Bassett are set to play the estranged grandparents, Rev. Clarence and Aretha Cobbs. Hudson will be the boy’s mother, who hasn’t spoken to her father since they had a falling out after she got pregnant. Jackson will likely play multiple characters during the Nativity sequence.

Sounds like it could be an interesting one. There’s no news on when it might shoot, although what’s the betting it will open at Christmas (probably in 2013)? (Source: Variety)

Olympus Has Fallen For Angela Bassett

June 26, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Just yesterday, Aaron Eckhart signed up to play the President in Olympus Has Fallen, and now the film has another star as Variety reports that Angela Bassett will also appear in the movie, which Antoine Fuqua is directing.

The film centres on Gerard Butler’s former Secret Service agent who tries to save the White House after terrorists attack the presidential residence. The plot has been described as Die Hard in the White House. Bassett is due to play the head of the Secret Service, in charge of protecting the President.

The movie is quite similar to Roland Emmerich’s White House Down, which is also racing into production with Jamie Foxx as the President and Channing Tatum as the Secret Service Agent who must take the White House back. Both movies will shoot later this year for release in 2013.
