Crush Of The Day: Jack O’Connell, Ansel Elgort, Miles Teller & Ethan Hawke Look Good For Prada

January 8, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

prada-jack-o-connell1-slideIt almost seems unfair that when people are already being extremely well paid to star in movies, they can also pick up endorsement deals and do a bit of modelling and get massive paycheques for that too – even if it involves very little work.

However if they go in front of a good photographer’s lens they can certainly look good, and that’s certainly true of Jack O’Connell, Ansel Elgort, Miles Teller & Ethan Hawke who’ve been getting stylish (is a little 1970s) for Prada and photographer Craig McDean.

The results of the collaboration have now been released and you can see the results above and below (click on the pics for larger versions).

It’s certainly nice that while they’ve chosen some of Hollywood’s best up and comers, they haven’t forgotten that people over 30 exist – and can be cool – with Ethan Hawke. [Read more…]

Ansel Elgort Tells The World He Isn’t Gay But It Wouldn’t Matter If He Was

December 19, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

ansel-elgortNowadays in Hollywood if you’re a young actor, you almost want there to be rumours that you are gay, as it’s almost become a right of passage and marker that your star is on the rise – after all, it does at least mean people are paying attention to you.

One young man who’s certainly seen his screen status rise this year is Ansel Elgort, thanks to The Fault In Our Stars and Divergent. As a result there have been some people questioning whether he likes boys more than girls (although we have to say it’s not exactly a question that has kept Nobel Laureates awake at night).

The 20-year-old has decided to set the record straight, saying that he is indeed a lady lover, but he’s a modern guy so also wants to ensure he has no problem with the whole gay thing. He tweets:

Just in case it isn't clear… I like girls. A lot.

— Ansel Elgort (@AnselElgort) December 18, 2014

Also let me say if I was gay I wouldn't hide it. Being gay or straight isn't bad or good it just IS. U are who you are. Be true to yourself.

— Ansel Elgort (@AnselElgort) December 18, 2014

The young man is actually slated to play gay in a biopic of pianist Van Cliburn, who rose to prominence by winning a music competition in Moscow at the heigh of the Cold War. He also raised a few eyebrows by creating a gayer version of the Fault In Our Stars poster image, alongside Nat Wolff.

Ansel Elgort & Brenton Thwaites In The Running For Pirates of the Caribbean 5

November 1, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

ansel-elgortA couple of years after Disney originally wanted it to shoot, Pirates Of The Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales is heading out next February to get the cameras rolling. Now it’s time to fill out the cast, and as with the earlier movies they want a hot young star to appear alongside Johnny Depp.

Deadline reports that a shortlist for the role has now been drawn up, with Taron Egerton (Kingsman: The Secret Service), George Mackay (Pride), Brenton Thwaites (Maleficent), Mitchell Hope (Descendants), Ansel Elgort (The Fault In Our Stars) and Sam Keeley (In The Heart Of The Sea) in the running to play a character called Henry.

There’s no news on exactly how Henry plays into the plot, although whoever gets the role will star alongside Johnny Depp and Geoffrey Rush, with Javier Bardem also recently going into talks to play the villain. There’s also likely to be a lot of young actresses interested in a major female role, Barbosa’s daughter Carina Smyth.

The movie is due out July 7th, 2017.

Men, Women & Children Teaser Trailer – Ansel Elgort, Adam Sandler & Emma Thompson star in Jason Reitman’s film

August 19, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

men-woman-and-children-trailer-slideJason Reitman’s last film, Labor Day, slipped by without too much notice, but the Juno and Up In The Air director he’ll be hoping for a better reception for ensemble film, Men, Women & Children.

Now we can take our first look with a teaser trailer.

Based on the novel by Chad Kultgen and out later this year, the cast includes Ansel Elgort (Fault In Our Stars), Adam Sandler (Grown Ups 1 & 2), Emma Thompson (Saving Mr Banks), Judy Greer (Archer), Jennifer Garner (Dallas Buyers Club), Dean Norris (Breaking Bad) and J.K. Simmons (Labor Day, Juno).

Here’s the synopsis: ‘“MEN, WOMEN & CHILDREN” follows the story of a group of high school teenagers and their parents as they attempt to navigate the many ways the internet has changed their relationships, their communication, their self-image, and their love lives. The film attempts to stare down social issues such as video game culture, anorexia, infidelity, fame hunting, and the proliferation of illicit material on the internet. As each character and each relationship is tested, we are shown the variety of roads people choose – some tragic, some hopeful – as it becomes clear that no one is immune to this enormous social change that has come through our phones, our tablets, and our computers.’ [Read more…]

Ansel Elgort Takes A Shirtless Charity Ice Bucket Challenge

August 11, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

ansel-elgortWhile a lot of internet memes are just plain dumb and/or dangerous, the latest is rather fun, probably isn’t going to kill anybody and raises money for ALS, commonly known as Lou Gehrig’s Disease in the US and motor neurone disease in the UK.

The idea is that you film yourself being drenched with a bucket of ice cold water, then nominate another person to do it – and you give some money to charity and encourage others to do it at the same time.

The ‘Ice Bucket Challenge’ has had some celebrity supporters and than include Fault In our Stars and Divergent star Ansel Elgort, who took him shirt off, dumped some water over his head and then uploaded the results for us to see.

He also includes the message, “At first I thought it was dumb, but then I realized that it was for a good cause. Today I gave $500 to the research and I encourage you to give as well!”

Take a look below. [Read more…]

Ansel Elgort & Tye Sheridan In The Mix For WarGames Remake

June 25, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

ansel-elgortThanks to The Fault In Our Stars Ansel Elgort is the young actor of the moment, ensuring his name is brought up when any new project is looking for somebody his age. That seems true of the planned remake of WarGames, based on the 1983 thriller that starred Matthew Broderick.

TheWrap reports that along with Elgort, MGM is also considering Tye Sheridan, along with several unnamed young actors who are on their shortlist. The project is moving forward though, as it has now got a director in the form of Dean Israelite, along with writer Arash Amel (Grace Of Monaco). Israelite is set to make his directorial debut with the upcoming Project Almanac, which is a found footage time travel thriller about a group of high school kids attempting to fix their lives, but ending up disturbing the space-time continuum.

The original WarGames is about two teenage hackers who inadvertanylu find a back door into the Defense Department’s computer. They start playing what they think is just a game, but what they’re doing could could lead to a real-life nuclear war. It is not known whether the new version will change things, although it’s safe to safe the computer graphics will have improved since 1983.

Ansel Elgort & Nat Wolff Turn Fault In Our Stars A Little Bit Gay

May 8, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

fault-in-our-stars-changed-poster1There’s a lot of buzz for next month’s The Fault In Our Stars, based on John Green’s incredibly popular novel. However it seems that some people have been wondering what would happen if it was based around a romance between two guys – and that includes the film’s stars, Ansel Elgort and Nat Wolff.

The two actors recreated the pose from the movie’s poster, but replacing Shailene Woodley with Wolff. The pic was posted on  Elgort’s and Green’s Instagram accounts. Elgort then managed to post a doctored version of the movies poster with the two guys getting up close and personal.

Click on the pics below to see larger versions of both the original and the rather more gay version.

The movie is about Hazel Grace Lancaster (Shailene Woodley), a teenager who joins a support group after being diagnosed with cancer. Hazel begins to fall for another cancer-stricken teenager, Augustus (Ansel Elgort), from her group. Sam Trammell and Laura Dern play Hazel’s father and mother, with Nat Wolff as Isaac, Augustus’ best friend.

New Divergent Trailer – With the sequel already set to shoot in May

February 4, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment


Lionsgate must have a lot of confidence on Divergent, as while it’s common to start developing sequels before the first film has been released, in this case they’re moving ahead enough that they’re already planning to shoot the follow-up, Insurgent, in May.

But before then we’ll get Divergent, and now the final trailer has been released. The movie is described as ‘a thrilling action-adventure set in a future world where people are divided into distinct factions based on their personalities. Tris Prior (Shailene Woodley) is warned she is Divergent and will never fit into any one group. When she discovers a conspiracy to destroy all Divergents, she must find out what makes being Divergent so dangerous before it’s too late.’ The likes of Theo James, Kate Winslet, Miles Teller, Ansel Elgort, and Jai Courtney also star.

Divergent will be out in March, with Insurgent planned for a year later, while a third movie, called Allegiant, is already dated for March 18, 2016. [Read more…]
