New Look At Charlie Hunnam & Jude Law In King Arthur: Legend Of The Sword

July 17, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

king-arthur-1When it was first announced, Guy Ritchie’s King Arthur was supposed to be the start of a massive interconnected franchise based around the Knights Of The Round Table. However, it looks like they’re hedging their after moving it all around the release schedule and then changing the name to King Arthur: Legend Of The Sword.

That doesn’t mean it’ll be a disaster but does suggest they perhaps don’t have as much faith in it as they once did – especially as we’ve heard fairly little about it in the last year. However, now a couple of new images have been released via EW.

They show a bruised and battered looking Arthur (Charlie Hunnam), who tells EW of his character, ‘He’s a bit rough around the edges, but he’s basically a survivor. There’s definitely a harder edge than people would imagine.’

There’s also a show of Jude Law as the villainous Vortigern, which you can see below. The movie is currently due out next March.

Crush Of The Day: Charlie Hunnam Gets Shirtless & Sexy For V Man

September 13, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

charlie-hunnam-v-man1-slideCharlie Hunnam is not a man who’s afraid of taking his shirt off and showing off his honed physique. Indeed at one point he was going to show even more as he was set to play Christian Grey in the movie version of Fifty Shades Of Grey.

However he left before filming began, and he’s now been talking about that to V Man, with a new, sexy photoshoot to go alongside the interview.

Of Fifty Shades, he says, “Oh, it was the worst professional experience of my life. It was the most emotionally destructive and difficult thing that I’ve ever had to deal with professionally. It was heartbreaking… I called her [director Sam Taylor-Johnson] and we both cried our eyes out on the phone for 20 minutes. I needed to tell her that this was not going to work. I was going to finish Sons, shoot the whole sequence where Tara was brutally murdered, fly to Vancouver the next day, have 10 days of rehearsal, and then start shooting. Then I was going to have three days after that and I’d have to start shooting Crimson Peak and then I’d have two days to travel and go back into season seven of Sons. There was a lot of personal stuff going on in my life that left me on real emotional shaky ground and mentally weak. I just got myself so f–king overwhelmed and I was sort of having panic attacks about the whole thing. I just didn’t know what to do.”

However stepping away from Fifty Shades doesn’t seem to have hurt his career, as he’s starring in Guillermo Del Toro’s Crimson Peak, and next year takes on the title role in the big budget Knights of the Roundtable: King Arthur, as well as The Lost City Of Z.

Take a look at some of the great new pics of Charlie below. [Read more…]

Crush Of The Day: Charlie Hunnam Gets Out His Sword In First Look At Him As King Arthur

July 23, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

charlie-hunnam-king-arthur-ew7-slideCharlie Hunnam may have dropped out of the lead role in Fifty Shades Of Grey, but that wasn’t the only major movie he’s been up for, as next year he’ll be taking the title role in Guy Ritchie’s, Knights of the Roundtable: King Arthur, which is the first part of a planned major franchise.

Now our first look at him in character has arrived thanks to a photoshoot for EW, where he gets out his sword and is looking very good indeed.

Of his character, Hunnam says, “He’s a little bit rough around the edges, but he’s basically a survivor. He’s a hustler. He’s a street kid. There’s definitely a harder edge to him than people would imagine. It’s sort of classic Guy Ritchie stuff.”

In the past thought Arthurian legends on screen have had a bit of a checkered history. Ritchie is hoping to change this, saying, “I think where the pitfall has often been is trying to make King Arthur bland and nice, and nice and bland. The two qualities make rather compatible bed companions. Unfortunately, they’re not interesting to watch. Luke Skywalker was always the most uninteresting character in Star Wars because he’s the good guy. Good guys are boring.”

Take a look at the great pics of Charlie below, and you’ll be able to see the film on July 22nd, 2016. [Read more…]

Crimson Peak Trailer – Into Guillermo Del Toro’s haunted house with Tom Hiddleston & Jessica Chastain

May 13, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

crimson-peak-pic2Normally you can’t keep Guillermo Del Toro from talking about his movies, but he’s been a tiny bit more secretive with Crimson Peak. But the shades of his haunted house are being pulled back with a new trailer.

As you’d expect from the director it certainly looks stylish with Tom Hiddleston, Jessica Chastain, Charlie Hunnam and Mia Wasikowska getting a little creepy.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Legendary Pictures’ Crimson Peak, a co-production with Universal Pictures, is a haunting gothic horror story directed by the master of dark fairy tales, Guillermo del Toro (Pan’s Labyrinth, Hellboy series, Pacific Rim), written by del Toro, Matthew Robbins and Lucinda Coxon and starring Mia Wasikowska, Jessica Chastain, Tom Hiddleston and Charlie Hunnam.

‘In the aftermath of a family tragedy, an aspiring author is torn between love for her childhood friend and the temptation of a mysterious outsider. Trying to escape the ghosts of her past, she is swept away to a house that breathes, bleeds…and remembers.’

Charlie Hunnam Let’s Us Know He’s Got ‘Nothing To Hide’ About Going Full Frontal

March 16, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

charlie-hunnam-slideOk, so here’s the challenge – we need to write a film where it’s very, very important we get to see Charlie Hunnam’s penis. It appears he’d be up for it, or at least the Pacific Rim & Sons Of Anarchy suggests so in a new interview with Attitude.

Talking about whether he’d ever show off little Charlie, he says, “The level of nudity that I do now, which is taking my shirt off, doesn’t bother me at all. But I have done full frontal before. I did full frontal when I was 18 on the TV show Queer as Folk.”

However before you rush off to see whether there was more of Charlie in 1999 British TV show than you remember, he adds, “But because I was playing a 15-year-old character, the censorship people wouldn’t allow us to put it on TV,” he added. “I think when I was young, I was a little bit more fearless with that stuff. I don’t know. I’m sure I would; I have nothing to hide.”

We almost got to see a lot of Hunnam when he was cast to play Christian Grey in Fifty Shades Of Grey, before hectic scheduling forced him to pull out. Perhaps if he’s done the role he wouldn’t have insisted on the ‘no penis’ clause Jamie Dornan had in his contract (although considering the need for an ‘R’ rating there’s no guarantee).

So if anyone wants to write a script all about Charlie’s bits, send it to him and see what he thinks!

First Look At Charlie Hunnam As King Arthur In Guy Ritchie’s Knights Of The Roundtable

March 11, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

knight-of-the-roundtable-set-photo1-slideFor several years an endless array of King Arthur movies have been in development but got cancelled before they made it in front of the cameras. Now one has passed that milestone as Guy Ritchie’s Knights of the Round Table: King Arthur is on set and to prove it, the director tweeted a pic of him ready for the shoot alongside his Arthur, Charlie Hunnam.

The film is the start of an ambitious franchise which, if it works out, will include at least six films, each concentrating on a different member of the Round Table.

We now have a few more details on the first film, with the official synopsis reading, ‘The bold new story introduces a streetwise young Arthur who runs the back alleys of Londonium with his gang, unaware of the life he was born for until he grasps hold of the sword Excalibur—and with it, his future. Instantly challenged by the power of Excalibur, Arthur is forced to make some hard choices. Throwing in with the Resistance and a mysterious young woman named Guinevere, he must learn to master the sword, face down his demons and unite the people to defeat the tyrant Vortigern, who stole his crown and murdered his parents, and become King.’

Alongside Hunnam are Astrid Bergès-Frisbey as Guinevere; Jude Law as villainous Vortigern; Eric Bana as Arthur’s dad Uther Pendragon; Djimon Hounsou as Resistance leader Bedivere; and Aidan Gillen as Goosefat Bill. The movie is due out July 22, 2016. [Read more…]

Crimson Peak Trailer – Tom Hiddleston & Charlie Hunnam deal with ghosts

February 14, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

crimson-peak-poster1Guillermo del Toro hasn’t released too much info on his new movie, Crimson Peak – initially just saying it was a haunted house film. However with the release approaching it’s time to give us a look with the first trailer.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Legendary Pictures’ CRIMSON PEAK, a co-production with Universal Pictures, is a haunting gothic horror story directed by the master of dark fairy tales, Guillermo del Toro (Pan’s Labyrinth, Hellboy series, Pacific Rim), written by del Toro and Matthew Robbins and starring Mia Wasikowska, Jessica Chastain, Tom Hiddleston and Charlie Hunnam. In the aftermath of a family tragedy, an aspiring author is torn between love for her childhood friend and the temptation of a mysterious outsider. Trying to escape the ghosts of her past, she is swept away to a house that breathes, bleeds…and remembers. Thomas Tull, Jon Jashni, del Toro and Callum Greene produce, and Jillian Share executive produces.’

The trailer looks great, so hopefully the movie will live up to it when it’s released in October, just in time for Halloween. [Read more…]

Eric Bana Will Be Charlie Hunnam’s Father In Knights of the Round Table

February 12, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

eric-bana-slideGuy Ritchie’s take on the legends of King Arthur – Knights Of The Round Table – is slowly coming together, and now one more member had signed up, with Variety reporting that Eric Bana will play Arthur’s father, Uther.

He joins Charlie Hunnam as King Arthur, Astrid Berges-Frisbey as Guinevere, Djimon Hounsou in negotiations to play a character the king’s Merlin-like mentor Bedivere, and Jude Law playing the villain.

Joby Harold (Edge of Tomorrow) wrote the script, which is the first part of a planned six-movie franchise, which presumably will concentrate on different knights surrounding Arthur with each film. There’s still no news on the exact plot and direction the first movie will take.

Warner Bros. has had been trying to make an Arthurian movie for years. Indeed Ritchie was previously attached to a completely different King Arthur movie, which was written by John Hodge (Trainspotting). Another project, Arthur & Lancelot, even got to the point where Kit Harington (Game of Thrones) and Joel Kinnaman (The Killing) had been hired for the lead roles and the sets were ready to be built. However the studio backed out just a few weeks before production was due to begin.

Hopefully they won’t get cold feet with this version, which already has a July 22nd, 2016 release date set.

Charlie Hunnam Going To Lost City of Z With Robert Pattinson

February 3, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

charlie-hunnam-slideIt’s taking a while to get the cast of Lost City Of Z cast together. A few months ago Robert Pattinson and Sienna Miller came onboard, joining Benedict Cumberbatch. However the Sherlock star’s Doctor Strange commitments have cause him to drop out and so he’s now being replaced by Charlie Hunnam, according to Variety.

The film will be directed by James Gray, based on David Grann’s book about doomed Amazon explorer Colonel Percy Harrison Fawcett (Hunnam).

Here’s a few more details about the book: ‘In 1925, Fawcett ventured into the Amazon to find an ancient civilization, hoping to make one of the most important discoveries in history. For centuries Europeans believed the world’s largest jungle concealed the glittering kingdom of El Dorado. Thousands had died looking for it, leaving many scientists convinced that the Amazon was truly inimical to humankind. But Fawcett, whose daring expeditions helped inspire Conan Doyle’s The Lost World, had spent years building his scientific case. Captivating the imagination of millions around the globe, Fawcett embarked with his twenty-one-year-old son, determined to prove that this ancient civilization—which he dubbed “Z”—existed. Then he and his expedition vanished.’

The movie should shoot later this year.
