New What To Expect When You’re Expecting Trailer

March 8, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment


Loosely based on the classic pregnancy helpbook (although God knows why they’re making movies now based on self help books), What To Expect When You’re Expecting is the sort of film that’s most likely to appeal to women, but they’re making a bid to get men interested with this latest trailers, which concentrates on the dads dealing with parenthood. The film follows several couples through the dubious joys of pregnancy. Elizabeth Banks, Cameron Diaz, Joennifer Lopez, Anna Kendrick, Dennis Quaid, Chris Rock, Chace Crawford, Rodrigo Santoro and more star. The film is due out in May.

Anna Kendrick & Bryan Cranston May Get A Job

January 23, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

After the cult success of Roger Dodger and P.S., you wouldn’t have thought it would take eight years for director Dylan Kidd to plot a follow-up, but it’s only just now that he’s got around to putting together Get A Job, for which he’s currently busy casting.

While no one’s signed on the dotted line yet, Variety reports that offers are out to Anna Kendrick and Bryan Cranston for the movie, with Christopher Mintz-Plasse, Jay Pharaoh and Roger Dodger star Jesse Eisenberg also circling (although the latter would only be onboard for a cameo role). It seems there’s a bit of a chicken and egg scenario going on, as while Get A Job could shoot as early as next month, CBS Films won’t greenlight the movie without a good cast, but the stars can’t fully sign on until the money’s in place. That should all get sorted though.

The film, based on a spec script by Kyle Pennekamp and Scott Turpel, follows a college graduate and his friends who have to lower their expectations about life as they enter the real world during a recession.

Paranorman UK Teaser – Stop-motion goes a little sixth sense

December 13, 2011 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Video: ParaNorman trailer (MSN Exclusive)
Nightmare Before Christmas director Henry Selick may have moved on from Laika, the animation company he helped found, but Laika is still in the business of creating intricate stop-motion movies, and from the evidence of this teaser trailer, Paranorman will be no different. In ParaNorman, a small town comes under siege by zombies. Who can it call? Only misunderstood local boy Norman (voiced by Kodi Smit-McPhee), who is able to speak with the dead. In addition to the zombies, he’ll have to take on ghosts, witches and, worst of all, moronic grown-ups, to save his town from a centuries-old curse. But this young ghoul whisperer may find his paranormal activities pushed to their otherworldly limits. The film reaches the UK September 2012.

What To Expect When You’re Expecting Trailer

December 9, 2011 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment


Turning a self-help book into a movie is a bit of a strange idea if you ask me, but they’ve done it with What To Expect When You’re Expecting, which follows several couples through the dubious joys of pregnancy. Over the moon about starting a family, TV fitness guru Jules and dance show star Evan find that their high-octane celebrity lives don’t stand a chance against the surprise demands of pregnancy. Baby-crazy author and advocate Wendy gets a taste of her own militant mommy advice when pregnancy hormones ravage her body; while Wendy’s husband, Gary, struggles not to be outdone by his competitive alpha-Dad, who’s expecting twins with his much younger trophy wife, Skyler. Photographer Holly is prepared to travel the globe to adopt a child, but her husband Alex isn’t so sure, and tries to quiet his panic by attending a “dudes” support group, where new fathers get to tell it like it really is. And rival food truck chefs Rosie and Marco’s surprise hook-up results in an unexpected quandary: what to do when your first child comes before your first date? The film’s out next May.

50/50 (Cinema)

November 24, 2011 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Starring: Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Seth Rogen, Bryce Dallas Howard, Anjelica Huston, Anna Kendrick
Director: Jonathan Levine
Running Time: 100 mins
Certificate: 15
Release Date: November 25th, 2011

Ok, here’s my pitch to try and get a poster quote for 50/50 – ‘The funniest film about possibly dying of cancer you’ll see all year!’ I doubt the studio is going to use that one, but it doesn’t mean it’s not true. It also kind of sums up 50/50’s problems, because while it’s very funny, extremely moving, quite sweet and extremely entertaining, the fact it’s about someone with cancer will inevitably limit its audience.

It’s a real shame, as a lot of people will undoubtedly miss out. It doesn’t really matter what I or anyone else says – a movie about cancer sounds like a bummer, and so getting people through the door is gonna be tough. [Read more…]

Anna Kendrick Finds The Company You Keep

October 22, 2011 By Movie Muser Leave a Comment

Director Robert Redford is certainly filling out the cast for his upcoming political thriller The Company You Keep, with Variety reporting that the increasingly impressive ensemble now includes Anna Kendrick, Terrence Howard, Brendan Gleeson, Sam Elliott, and newcomer Jackie Evancho, an 11-year-old finalist on America’s Got Talent. They join Robert Redford, Shia LaBeouf, Brit Marling, Nick Nolte, Susan Sarandon, Richard Jenkins, Julie Christie, Stephen Root, Stanley Tucci and Chris Cooper in the Lem Dobbs-scripted pic, based on the novel by Neil Gordon.

Robert Redford stars as Jim Grant, a former Weather Underground militant wanted by the FBI for 30 years, who must go on the run when a young, ambitious reporter (Shia LaBeouf) exposes his true identity. Anna Kendrick will play Diana, a young FBI agent and Shia LaBeouf’s former flame, who provides him with that information he needs to uncover the truth about Grant and a Bank of Michigan robbery.

Terrence Howard will play Cornelius, the senior FBI agent on the case who has relentlessly pursued Grant across the nation and now leads the task force assigned to take down the Weather Underground fugitives who have been on the run for three decades. Brendan Gleeson will play Henry Osborne, the retired Michigan Chief of Police who investigated the bank robbery in the 1960s, while Sam Elliott will be Mac, Julie Christie’s employer in the marijuana trade who used to be romantically involved with her. Jackie Evancho will play Robert Redford’s daughter, who recently lost her mother and is unaware of her father’s militant past.

It’s an incredible cast for what should be a very intriguing movie. The political action thriller is currently filming in Vancouver.
