Will Smith Replacing Ben Affleck In The Drama Focus

April 18, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

will-smithIt’s all change on the Glenn Ficarra and John Requa (Crazy Stupid Love) movie Focus, as while Ben Affleck and Kristen Stewart had been due to star, they’ve now both left movie. They have found a replacement for Affleck though, with Variety reporting that Will Smith is in final talks to make the main role.

It’s Will Smith’s involvement that’s caused Kristen Stewart to leave, not because she doesn’t like Will, but due to the fact it was felt there was too big of an age gap between her and Will Smith (she’s 23, he’s 44).

The story follows a veteran con man (Will Smith) who takes an inexperienced grifter under his wing, before falling for her. Years later, they reunite and begin to complicate each others lives. Will Smith had reportedly been interested in the project for awhile, but only recently committed fully to the project.

Glenn Ficarra and John Requa are directing from their own original screenplay. There’s no news on when it might shoot.

Argo (Blu-ray)

March 2, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Starring: Ben Affleck, Bryan Cranston, John Goodman, Alan Arkin, Victor Garber
Director: Ben Affleck
Running Time: 120 mins
Certificate: 15
Release Date: March 4th 2013

Although it’s not too unusual for the winner of the Best Picture Oscar not to also pick up the Best Director gong, it’s very rare for the winner of the biggest prize not to even get a nomination for its helmer. However that’s what happened with Argo, marking the first time it’s occurred since Driving Miss Daisy in 1989. (Incidentally it’s also now tied with Gigi as the Best Picture winner with the shortest title).

It was a real oversight on the part of the Academy, because it’s not like Ben Affleck’s direction is irrelevant to the movie’s success. Indeed it’s him probably more than anyone else who makes the film work. [Read more…]

Ben Affleck, Bradley Cooper & Emma Stone Cuddle Up In Bed For Vanity Fair

January 30, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

vanity-fair-hollywood-2013-coverIt’s time to Vanity Fair’s 19th Hollywood Portfolio, where they get the great and the good of Hollywood to turn up and pose. Being included has become an increasingly important status symbol in recent years, meaning that 75 stars have allowed famed gay photographer Bruce Weber to snap them for the magazine.

You can see the cute cover, featuring Ben Affleck, Bradley Cooper & Emma Stone above, and we’ve got a selection of the other images, which were featured on the Vanity Fair website, below. This year’s portfolio is subtitled, “Bruce Weber’s Adventures in Hollywood,” an ode to the city’s warmer side.

And from the evidence above and below, it’s gonna look good.

To The Wonder Trailer – Ben Affleck gets passionate in Terrence Malick’s film

December 20, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment


Terrence Malick’s Tree Of Life certainly divided audiences and it appears that To The Wonder is destined to do the same. It’s received decidedly mixed reviews at the Toronto and Venice film festivals, but we’ll be able to see for ourselves when the film reaches UK cinemas on February 22nd.

Now a trailer has arrived, giving us our best look at the movie yet. It’s filled with swooping low-angle camera shots, Ben Affleck looking emotional and everything being incredibly pretty yet hard to decode. It’s not going to be an easy one, as Affleck has joked that it “makes Tree of Life look like Transformers.” As with Sean Penn in Tree, it’s also been said Affleck’s role has been dramatically reduced in the actual movie compared to what he filmed.

Affleck plays Neil, who falls for Marina (Olga Kurylenko) when they meet in France. The couple return to Neil’s Oklahoma hometown, but as their passion cools, Neil is drawn to his childhood sweetheart, Jane (Rachel McAdams). While the plot is fairly simple, the execution is said to be far more complex and philosophical.to-the-wonder-pic1

Kristen Stewart Gets In Focus Opposite Ben Affleck

November 3, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Hollywood’s love of pairing young women with significantly older men continues with the news 22-year-old Kristen Stewart is in talks to portray the female lead in Focus, where she’d star opposite 40-year-old Ben Affleck.

The movie is about a veteran con man (Affleck) who teaches a grifter (Stewart) the tricks of his trade. Complications arise when they get romantically involved, before going their separate ways. They meet once again years later, when their past romance comes back to haunt them.

Glenn Ficarra and John Requa (Crazy Stupid Love) are directing from their own screenplay. The initial plan was to reteam Crazy Stupid Love co-stars Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone for the movie, but due to the fact they’re both ridiculously busy, no deals were ever made. (Source: Variety)

Ben Affleck May Get Into Focus For Glenn Ficarra and John Requa

October 10, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Ben Affleck may have been concentrating on his directing career recently, but he’s still up for starring on other people’s movie, as Deadline reports he is in early talks to star in the Warner Bros. drama Focus from the writer/director team Glenn Ficarra and John Requa (Crazy Stupid Love).

Back in April Crazy Stupid Love stars Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone were eyeing the project. However, they are no longer involved in the project, with the studio now focusing on finding a female lead to star alongside Affleck.

The moive is about a con man who becomes romantically involved with his new grifter protege before they part ways. They meet once again years later and once more begin to complicate each other’s lives.

Glenn Ficarra and John Requa are directing from their own original screenplay, with Denise Di Novi producing. It is said that Warner Bros. wants to find a female lead quickly so they can get this into production as soon as possible.

Argo Character Posters Hit The Web

September 25, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Argo certainly has a good cast, and some new character posters are trying to prove it, with pics of Ben Affleck, John Goodman and Alan Arkin arriving via the movie’s Facebook page.

Argo ‘chronicles the life-or-death covert operation to rescue six Americans, which unfolded behind the scenes of the Iran hostage crisis – the truth of which was unknown by the public for decades. On November 4, 1979, as the Iranian revolution reaches its boiling point, militants storm the US embassy in Tehran, taking 52 Americans hostage. But, in the midst of the chaos, six Americans manage to slip away and find refuge in the home of the Canadian ambassador. Knowing it is only a matter of time before the six are found out and likely killed, a CIA “exfiltration” specialist named Tony Mendez (Affleck) comes up with a risky plan to get them safely out of the country. A plan so incredible, it could only happen in the movies.’

Affleck also directs the movie, which hits US cinemas in October, with a UK release set for November 7th.
