Director Dexter Fletcher has certainly thrown himself into biopic of gay music legends recently, even if it was partially by accident. He ended up taking over direction of the Queen/Freddie Mercury biopic Bohemian Rhapsody, and he’s also behind the lens for the long-gestating fantastical look at a young Elton John, Rocketman.
Here’s the brief synopsis: #ROCKETMAN is an epic musical fantasy about the uncensored human story of Sir Elton John’s breakthrough years, starring Taron Egerton, Jamie Bell, Richard Madden and Bryce Dallas Howard.’ As you’d expect from Elton, this is not your typical biopic, with the whole thing taking place in a larger than life universe.
The film’s due in cinemas May 2019. Take a look at the first teaser trailer for the movie below. [Read more…]

I feel that after watching this first trailer for the follow-up to the mega-hit Jurassic World, you may be asking yourself, ‘WTF have I just seen?’ It’s kind of like an explosion of over-the-top-ness. No longer just content with killer dinos, they’ve gone and thrown in an exploding volcano!
Matthew McConaughey has certainly come a long way from being the king of awful rom-coms. Indeed, he hasn’t made one for years. Next up he’s got Gold, which was originally being lined up as an awards contender, but following middling reviews it doesn’t look like it’s going to be winning much.
Synopsis: ‘A reimagining of Disney’s cherished family film, “Pete’s Dragon” is the adventure of an orphaned boy named Pete and his best friend Elliott, who just so happens to be a dragon. “Pete’s Dragon” stars Bryce Dallas Howard (“Jurassic World”), Oakes Fegley (“This is Where I Leave You”), Wes Bentley (“The Hunger Games”), Karl Urban (“Star Trek”), Oona Laurence (“Southpaw”) and Oscar® winner Robert Redford (“Captain America: The Winter Soldier”). The film, which is directed by David Lowery (“Ain’t Them Bodies Saints”), is written by Lowery & Toby Halbrooks based on a story by Seton I. Miller and S.S. Field and produced by Jim Whitaker, p.g.a. (“The Finest Hours,” “Friday Night Lights”), with Barrie M. Osborne (“The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring,” “The Great Gatsby”) serving as executive producer.
The first trailer for Disney’s new take on the part-animated family film Pete’s Dragon was keen to show us this was going to be a very different movie to the original, while also only teasing us about what the dragon would look like. Now a full trailer has arrived, which underlines this is a movie that only shares a title and vague concept with the original, although it does give us a much better look at the now very furry beast..
The first teaser trailer for Disney’s new take on the part-animated family gilm Pete’s Dragon shows that it is going to be a very different movie from the original. Indeed, other than the title it doesn’t look like there’s going to be a vast amount to link the two.
