Baby Driver (Blu-ray Review) – Kevin Spacey coerces a young man for director Edgar Wright

November 12, 2017 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Starring: Ansel Elgort, Lily James, Jon Hamm, Kevin Spacey, Jamie Foxx
Director: Edgar Wright
Running Time: 112 mins
Certificate: 15
Release Date: November 13th 2017 (UK)

The subheading about Kevin Spacey above may be a bit unfair, but I do wonder whether director Edgar Wright is wishing right now he’d picked someone else to play a powerful man coercing a much younger guy to do his bidding. There are also moments in the special features on the Blu-ray where they’re talking about how wonderful Spacey is and how good he is at ‘playing’ a manipulative asshole, where you know the distributors wish they’d had time to cut it out before the disc his shelves, but which certainly give things an unexpected subtext now.

Thankfully though, the presence of the disgraced actor doesn’t completely overshadow the movie, which got great reviews and word of mouth on its cinema release for reasons that had nothing to do with Spacey. [Read more…]

Baby Driver Trailer – Ansel Elgort & Jamie Foxx star in Edgar Wright’s latest

March 12, 2017 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Yesterday, Edgar Wright’s Baby Driver premiered at SXSW in Texas to generally positive reviews. They also decided that it was a good time for the rest of us to be able to take a look at the movie, by releasing a trailer for the music-fuelled flick.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘A talented, young getaway driver (Ansel Elgort) relies on the beat of his personal soundtrack to be the best in the game. When he meets the girl of his dreams (Lily James), Baby sees a chance to ditch his criminal life and make a clean getaway.

The film is due out in August. Take a look at the trailer below. [Read more…]

Take Your First Look At Ansel Elgort & Jamie Foxx In Edgar Wright’s Baby Driver

December 26, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Shaun Of The Dead and Scott Pilgrim’s Edgar Wright has been working on Baby Driver for a long time. However, he put it on hold while working on Marvel’s Ant Man, but after his somewhat abrupt departure from that project, he went back to it. However, it’s only now we’re getting out first look with a couple of pic via EW.

It’s something a bit different from Wright, of which the director says, “I always wanted to do an action movie that was powered by music. It’s something that’s very much a part of my previous films and I thought of this idea of how to take that a stage further by having a character who listens to music the entire time. So, you have this young getaway driver who has to soundtrack his entire existence, particularly the bank robberies and fast getaways that come afterwards.”

The film stars Ansel Elgort as a young man who gets coerced into being a getaway driver, but finds himself part of a heist that seems doomed to epic failure. Jamie Foxx, Jon Hamm, Elsa Gonzalez, Kevin Spacey, and Jon Bernthal also star.

It’ll be in cinemas next summer. Take a look at the first pics above and below.

Allegiant (Blu-ray Review)

July 14, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Starring: Shailene Woodley, Theo James, Jeff Daniels, Miles Teller, Ansel Elgort
Director: Robert Schwentke
Running Time: 120 mins
Certificate: 12
Release Date: July 11th 2016 (UK)

Poor old Divergent. Things started off well at the box office with the first movie, which helped Lionsgate decide they should expand their plans and turn the three books into four films. However, the second movie was slightly muted at the box office, and this one didn’t do well at all.

In Allegiant, Tris (Shailene Woodley) has opened the box, which suggests the city and its factions are part of an experiment, and that despite what they’ve been told, there is more to the world outside Chicago’s walls. Once out (despite many trying to stop them), Tris, Four (Theo James), her brother (Ansel Elgort) and Peter (Miles Teller), meet David (Jeff Daniels), the director of the experiment. He says they have been using Chicago and the factions to eventually find somebody genetically pure – the other people are defective – and that Tris may be that person. [Read more…]

Ansel Elgort in Talks In Talks For Live Action Dungeons & Dragons Film

June 28, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

ansel-elgortAnsel Elgort, star on the Divergent series and The Fault In Our Stars, may be entering the fantasy realm, as Deadline reports he’s in early talks to star in Warner’s planned Dungeons & Dragons film. It seems he’s not quite ready to sign on the dotted line though, but may well take the central role.

It’s not the first time the role playing game has taken to the big screen, although a 2000 movie starring Jeremy Irons bombed terribly. After that it got trapped in legal limbo while there was a fight over the film rights, but now that’s been sorted Warner Bros. has been keen to get a big budget fantasy based on the franchise going.

Not too much is known about the specifics of the movie, but Deadline adds, ‘Dungeons And Dragons is a fantasy adventure centering on a warrior and his band of mystical creatures as they embark on a dangerous journey to find a mythical treasure. It’s known that Vin Diesel has also expressed interest in being part of the film as he has been a fan of and played the game for more than 20 years.’

Rob Letterman (Monsters Vs. Aliens) is set to direct.

Miles Teller, Ansel Elgort, Dave Franco & Logan Lerman On Young Han Solo Shortlist

January 11, 2016 By Tim Isaac 2 Comments

logan-lerman

The role of a young Han Solo in the planned Star Wars spin-off about the legendary character was always bound to be a hotly fought over role, and also one where Disney/Lucasfilm and directors Phil Lord and Chris Miller were likely to cast a wide net while looking for the perfect person. Now Variety reports they’re narrowing in on the actorwho’ll land the role, soming up with a shortlist of a dozen names.

That list includes some hot young things, such as Miles Teller, Ansel Elgort, Dave Franco, Logan Lerman, Jack Reynor, Scott Eastwood, Emory Cohen, and Blake Jenner. Earlier in the search the makers considered both older and younger actors but it looks like they’ve decided their film Han Solo should be in his early 20s (although Eastwood is a little older as he’s 29).

It is very early to cast, as the movie isn’t expected to go into production until January 2017 (for release May 25, 2018). However it’s suggested the reason that they want to find their man now is because of a planned cameo in this year’s Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, which is also set before the events of Star Wars: A New Hope.

All of the finalists are now expected to screen-test and the person who’ll be filling Harrison Ford’s boots will be chosen within the next few weeks. It’ll certainly be interesting to see who they pick, as some of those on the shortlist have the swagger and others have the looks, but it’s a tough job for someone to pull both those together in a way audiences will be happy with. Whoever it is, it seems we can be assured Han is gonna be very good looking.

Allegiant-Character-Poster-slideDivergent returns early next year with Allegiant, which has now debuted its first full trailer, which you can watch below, along with taking a look at a couple of character posters.
