New Thoroughbreds Trailer – Olivia Cooke, Anya Taylor-Joy & Anton Yelchin take on a dark comedy

December 2, 2017 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Thoroughbreds has received some pretty good reviews as it’s played film festivals from Sundance to London, currently enjoying an 83% rating on RottenTomatoes. However, it doesn’t arrive in cinemas until March, so it’s worth getting a taste of the movie with a new trailer.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Childhood friends Lily and Amanda reconnect in suburban Connecticut after years of growing apart. Lily has turned into a polished, upper-class teenager, with a fancy boarding school on her transcript and a coveted internship on her resume; Amanda has developed a sharp wit and her own particular attitude, but all in the process of becoming a social outcast. Though they initially seem completely at odds, the pair bond over Lily’s contempt for her oppressive stepfather, Mark, and as their friendship grows, they begin to bring out one another’s most destructive tendencies. Their ambitions lead them to hire a local hustler, Tim, and take matters into their own hands to set their lives straight.’

Take a look at the new trailer below. The movie will be in cinemas next March. [Read more…]

We Don’t Belong Here Trailer – Anton Yelchin play a young gay man in one of his final roles

May 24, 2017 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

It was a genuine shock when young Anton Yelchin was killed in a tragic accident last year. Now his final roles are making it to the screen, including We Don’t Belong Here (previously titled The Greens Are Gone), which has recently been released on DVD/VoD in the US.

The very simple official synopsis says, ‘The matriarch of a dysfunctional family is pushed to her tipping point when her son goes missing.’. That doesn’t explain though the the son, Max (Yelchin), has plenty of problem, as he’s bipolar and self-medicating on drugs, as well as dealing with PTSD following a car accident. He’s also gay, something his mother (Catherine Keener) doesn’t approve of. Following Max’s dissapearance, family secrets start to spill out.

The likes of Riley Keough, Maya Rudolph, Justin Chatwin, Cary Elwes and Molly Shannon also star. Take a look at the trailer below. (H/T NNN) [Read more…]

Final Star Trek Beyond Trailer – Get ready to boldly go once more

July 19, 2016 By Tim Isaac 1 Comment

star-trek-beyondBefore it even started filming, some had decided that the fact Fast & Furious helmer Justin Lin was directing Star Trek Beyond meant it was going to be a disaster. However, the early buzz is that they should have had a lot more faith, with many suggesting this it the best of the rebooted Star Trek bunch.

With only a few days until release, a final trailer has been released to ensure our appetites are suitably whetted.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘”Star Trek Beyond,” the highly anticipated next installment in the globally popular Star Trek franchise, created by Gene Roddenberry and reintroduced by J.J. Abrams in 2009, returns with director Justin Lin (“The Fast and the Furious” franchise) at the helm of this epic voyage of the U.S.S. Enterprise and her intrepid crew.  In “Beyond,” the Enterprise crew explores the furthest reaches of uncharted space, where they encounter a mysterious new enemy who puts them and everything the Federation stands for to the test.’

The film will be in cinemas on Friday. [Read more…]

Only Lovers Left Alive (Blu-ray Review)

September 15, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Starring: Tom Hiddleston, Tilda Swinton, Mia Wasikowska, Anton Yelchin, John Hurt
Director: Jim Jarmusch
Running Time: 123 mins
Certificate: 15
Release Date: September 15th 2014 (UK)

Like many Jim Jarmusch movies, Only Lovers Left Alive is the sort of film where one chunk of the audience will be wondering what sort of tedium they’ve just had to sit through and another chunk will be hailing it as a masterpiece. He is as impressively idiosyncratic director and his films determinedly refuse to be boxed. Many have described him as a cinematic poet, and it’s a very good description. What he’s great at is creating mood, feeling and thought, where narrative isn’t the driving force, it’s merely the thread that pulls the fabric together.

Tom Hiddleston is Adam, who’s living in Detroit making music but keen that nobody bothers him. That’s partly because he’s a vampire and hundreds of years old. He’s also depressed and filled with weariness at the direction mankind has taken and how it treats the promise it has, to the point whether he’s wondering if there’s any point living on to see the future.

Cymbeline Trailer – Ethan Hawke and Milla Jovovich give Shakespeare a Sons Of Anarchy style twist

September 3, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

cymbeline-slideCymbeline may not be the most famous of Shakespeare’s tales, but decided it was good enough to do what he did with Hamlet back in 2000, and given it a modern day retelling.

As with Hamlet, he’s brought Ethan Hawke onboard to star, with Ed Harris, Milla Jovovich, John Leguizamo, Penn Badgley, Dakota Johnson and Anton Yelchin also starring.

Cymbeline tells the tale as an epic battle between dirty cops and a drug dealing biker gang set in a corruption-riddled 21st century America. King Cymbeline, leader of the Briton Motorcycle Club, clashes with the corrupt Roman Police while his radiant but disobedient daughter Imogen fends off assaults on her honor and her life. Cymbeline’s wife and her son aspire to take over the king’s empire, and Imogen’s marriage to Posthumus is undermined by sinister interference from Iachimo, a malevolent stranger. Shakespeare’s timeless themes are love and betrayal, revenge and forgiveness, death and renewal.

In the original play Imogen dresses as a boy and leaves to go and find her exiled lover, but whether the new film will feature any cross-dressing is yet to be seen. Cymbeline premieres imminently at Venice, with a cinema release expected next year. [Read more…]

Rudderless Trailer – Billy Crudup & Anton Yelchin star in William H. Macy’s directorial debut

August 15, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Rudderless-posterThe first trailer William H. Macy’s directorial debut, Rudderless, has debuted, giving us a look at Billy Crudup and Anton Yelchin in the musical drama. The movie debuted to mixed reviews as Sundance Film Festival, and will hit US cinemas and VoD in October (no UK date is currently set).

Here’s the synopsis: ‘In William H. Macy’s moving directorial debut RUDDERLESS, Billy Crudup plays Sam, a former high-profile advertising executive whose life is torn apart by the sudden death of his son. Living off the grid on a docked sailboat, he wastes away his days while drowning his pain in alcohol. When Sam discovers a box filled with his son’s demo tapes and lyrics, his own child’s musical talent is a revelation for him, a grieving father who felt he’d been absent from his son’s life. Communing with his deceased son’s dashed dreams, Sam learns each song and eventually musters the will to perform one at a local bar. When Quentin, a young musician in the audience, is captivated by the song, the unlikely duo forms a rock band that becomes surprisingly popular and revitalizes both of their lives.’

Selena Gomez, Laurence Fishburne and Felicity Huffman also star. Take a look at the trailer below [Read more…]

A great cast is coming together for the indie flick The Driftless Area, with Anton Yelchin, Zooey Deschanel, John Hawkes, Ciarán Hinds and Alia Shawkat, with Zachary Sluser set to direct.

The dark comedy is adapted from Tom Drury’s novel of the same name. Sluser wrote the screenplay adaptation alongside Drury.

The film is described as ‘an atmospheric dark comedy that centers on the enigmatic Stella (Zooey Deschanel) and Pierre (Anton Yelchin), a quietly resourceful bartender who returns to his hometown after the death of his parents. When Pierre falls in love with Stella, he is unwittingly drawn into a circle of fate pitting him against the volatile criminal Shane (John Hawkes).’

Zachary Sluser commented, “It is a great joy to be able to bring Tom Drury’s hauntingly beautiful story to life with such profoundly talented actors, all of whom have inspired me for years.”

Shooting is set to begin on May 14th in Vancouver.

Starring: Anton Yelchin, Addison Timlin, Willem Dafoe, Nico Tortorella
Director: Stephen Sommers
Running Time: 97 mins
Certificate: 15
Release Date: February 3rd 2013

Stephen Sommers has spent most of the past 15-years in mega-budget movie territory with the first two The Mummy movies, Van Helsing and G.I. Joe.

Only Lovers Left Alive Trailer – Tom Hiddleston & Tilda Swinton turn vampire

November 2, 2013 By Tim Isaac 1 Comment


Tom Hiddleston and Tilda Swinton are trying out being undead in Only Lovers Left Alive, which attracted rather mixed notices on its Toronto Film Festival debut. However the trailer suggests it could be rather intriguing.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Starring Tilda Swinton, Tom Hiddleston, Mia Wasikowska, John Hurt, Anton Yelchin and Jeffrey Wright, ONLY LOVERS LEFT ALIVE takes place against the romantic desolation of Detroit and Tangier and follows an underground musician, deeply depressed by the direction of human activities, who reunites with his resilient and enigmatic lover. Their love story has already endured several centuries at least, but their debauched idyll is soon disrupted by her wild and uncontrollable younger sister.’

It should be out next year. [Read more…]
