The Equalizer Trailer – Denzel Washington Helps Chloe Moretz take on the Russian mob

May 26, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Sony is pretty confident about The Equalizer. It doesn’t arrive in cinemas until September in the US (and October 10th in the UK), but they’re already developing a sequel.

Of course the sequel is reliant on the first movie being a success. Now we can get a proper feel for the movie with a trailer.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Starring Denzel Washington, it tells the story of a former black ops commando who faked his death and is now living a quiet life and returns to action to rescue a prostitute from evil pimps; his actions cause the Russian mob to send rogue CIA agents to kill him; he battles back against overwhelming odds, defeating them and becoming “The Equalizer.”’

Richard Wenk (16 Blocks) wrote the screenplay, based on the hit TV series The Equalizer, which ran for four seasons between 1985 and 1989.

If I Stay Trailer – Chloe Moretz gets caught between life and death

April 17, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

If I Stay is one of those movies that could either be fascinating or utterly dreadful, as it’s got a premise that has a lot of promise but needs careful handling.

We won’t know whether it works or not until its release later this year – it’s due out in August in the US but no UK date is currently set. However we can get a taste with a trailer.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘On a day that started like any other, Mia (Chloe Moretz) had everything: a loving family, an adoring boyfriend, and a bright future full of music. Suddenly, a family drive on a snowy day changes everything. In an instant, almost all of that is taken from her.

‘Caught between life and death, Mia spends one critical day contemplating a future that is now more unknowable than ever. Is love enough to keep her here? Tragic but ultimately hopeful, this is a romantic, riveting and uplifting story about music, life and love.’ [Read more…]

Chloe Moretz Will Ride The 5th Wave In A Young Adult Alien Invasion Movie

April 16, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Chloe Moretz has had a lot of success, but it’s almost surprising that in this era of young adult adaptations she hasn’t taken the lead in a movie that could turn into a Twilight/Hunger Games franchise. That’s changing though as Sony has closed a deal for her to star in an adaptation of Rick Yancey’s bestselling novel The 5th Wave.

J Blakeson will direct the film from a screenplay by Susannah Grant. The movie is described as being ‘an original approach to an alien invasion movie’, which takes place after four waves of increasingly deadly attacks have left most of Earth decimated.

Against a backdrop of fear and distrust, 16-year-old Cassie (Moretz) goes on the run, desperately trying to save her younger brother. As she prepares for the inevitable and lethal 5th wave, Cassie meets a young man who may become her final hope.

The novel spent 20 weeks on The New York Times Best Sellers list and was honoured with the 2014 Red House Children’s Book Award in the UK. Sony hopes this can translate to the screen as it certainly has franchise potential, as the second book in the planned trilogy, The Infinite Sea, will be published on September 16th, 2014.

Kick-Ass 2 (DVD)

December 9, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Starring: Chloe Moretz, Jim Carrey, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, Aaron Taylor-Johnson
Director: Jeff Wadlow
Running Time: 103 mins
Certificate: 15
Release Date: December 9th 2013

2010’s Kick-Ass gained a lot of fans who loved its blend of heart, humour and over-the-top comic book violence. Now we get the follow-up, which sees Jeff Wadlow take over from Matthew Vaughn in the director’s chair. While it’s an okay effort, it’s difficult not to wish Vaughn had stuck around.

Picking up some time after the first movie, Dave Lizewski (Aaron Taylor-Johnson) has left his Kick-Ass superhero alter-ego behind and is now attending high school along Mindy McCready (Chloe Moretz), the former Hit Girl. While they may not be trying to fight the bad guys, Kick-Ass has inspired others to take up the costumed vigilante cause. [Read more…]

Carrie is set to hit cinemas very soon, and while Chloe Moretz may be busy promoting that, she’s also looking to the future, as she’s planning to star in Sacha Gervasi’s upcoming adaptation of Sam Munson’s young adult novel The November Criminals, according to TheWrap.

The book is about 18-year-old Addison Schacht, who is a high-school senior in Washington D.C. He wants to go to the University of Chicago, but his plans are sidetracked when a fellow classmate is killed in a senseless shooting. He takes it upon himself to begin an investigation and find the murderer.

Chloe Moretz is set to play the female lead, Phoebe, although no one is set to play Addison yet.

Gervasi is directing from a script he reworked from an original draft provided by Steven Knight.

August 9, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Kick-Ass 2 hits UK cinemas on August 14th (and the 16th in the US), and so ahead of that Universal has revealed a septet of character images, giving us an up-close look at Kick-Ass, Hit Girl and Night Bitch, as well as villains The Motherf*ucker, Black Death, Genghis Carnage and Mother Russia.

Unfortunately, when Mindy is busted for sneaking out as Hit Girl, she’s forced to retire—leaving her to navigate the terrifying world of high-school mean girls on her own. With no one left to turn to, Dave joins forces with Justice Forever, run by a born-again ex-mobster named Colonel Stars and Stripes.

Kick-Ass 2 Extended Red-Band Trailer – Aaron Taylor Johnson & Chloe Moretz are back

July 20, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

I think it’s safe to say that they haven’t decided to sanitise Kick-Ass 2 to get a lower rating, as this new extended red-band trailer – released to coincide with the film’s appearance at Comic-Con – is certainly keen to show that the language and violence is very much intact. And it’s also looking a whole lot of fun.

It also gives us out best look yet at Jim Carrey’s Colonel Stars & Stripes, as well as Christoph Mintz-Plasse’s return as the rather S&M The Motherf**ka.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Kick-Ass, Hit Girl and Red Mist return for the follow-up to 2010’s irreverent global hit: Kick-Ass 2. After Kick-Ass’ (Aaron Taylor-Johnson) insane bravery inspires a new wave of self-made masked crusaders, led by the badass Colonel Stars and Stripes (Jim Carrey), our hero joins them on patrol. When these amateur superheroes are hunted down by Red Mist (Christopher Mintz-Plasse)—reborn as The Mother F%&*^r—only the blade-wielding Hit Girl (Chloë Grace Moretz) can prevent their annihilation.

Comic-Con Posters: Godzilla, I Frankenstein, Thor: The Dark World & Carrie

July 16, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

With Comic-Con kicking off in just a couple of days, the movie studios are already trying to build the hype for their upcoming movies, which includes releasing a slew of posters for those film that will be filling the halls this weekend in San Diego. Now we have a rather cool trio of posters for the Aaron Eckhart movie I, Frankenstein, a banner for the remake of Carrie, a Thor: The Dark World concept art image, and as you can see above, a great new mondo poster for Godzilla.

The giant lizard film is expected to be one of the biggest movies at Comic-Con this weekend, with Warner promising a massive presentation and plenty of other things going on in relation to the film.

The movie, starring Bryan Cranston, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Elizabeth Olsen, Ken Watanabe, David Strathairn, Sally Hawkins and Juliette Binoche, is said to be closer to the tone of the Japanese originals than Roland Emmerich’s 1990s movie. The Gareth Edwards directed film hits cinemas May 16th 2014.

I, Frankenstein is based on Kevin Grevioux’s graphic novel of the same name about Adam Frankenstein (Aaron Eckhart), the creation of Dr. Frankenstein, who is still alive centuries after his ‘birth’. Adam is hunted down by a clan of demons who want to learn Adam’s secret in order to reanimate deceased demons and start a new army. Miranda Otto, Jai Courtney, Bill Nighy and Aden Young also star. It’s due in cinemas next January.

Based on Stephen King’s debut novel, the remake of Carrie sees Chloe Moretz take over the title role of the girl on the edge of adolescence, whose problem with bullies and a terrifying mother become dangerous when she develops telekinetic powers. It’s due out in October.

Thor: The Dark World is, of course, the follow-up to Marvel’s Thor and The Avengers, with Chris Hemsworth back as the Norse god. This time he must prevent an ancient race, led by the vengeful Malekith, from plunging the universe back into darkness. It’s due in cinemas in November.
