New Jurassic World Trailer – Chris Pratt looks exceedingly good tracking down Indominus Rex

By Leave a Comment

jurassic-world-poster3-slideWhen it was revealed Jurassic World would be set in a fully functioning dinosaur theme park many decided the film would be rubbish, but ever since the first images emerged many have changed their mind and decided it might actually be quite awesome.

That feeling certainly continues with this very cool new trailer which is full of dinos, plenty of harks ack to earlier movies as well as the suggestion the addition of genetically manipulated animals may be a very good idea – including the super-predator, Indominus Rex. We’ve also got three new posters you can look at below.

Here’s the brief synopsis: ‘Steven Spielberg returns to executive produce the long-awaited next instalment of his ground-breaking Jurassic Park series, Jurassic World. Colin Trevorrow directs the epic action-adventure based on characters created by Michael Crichton. The screenplay is by Rick Jaffa & Amanda Silver and Trevorrow & Derek Connolly. Frank Marshall and Patrick Crowley join the team as producers.’

The film is out in the UK on June 11th 2015. [Read more…]

Jennifer Lawrence & Chris Pratt In Talks For Sci-fi Love Story Passengers

By Leave a Comment

Chris-Pratt-Jurassic-WorldIf you’re going to have a revolving door or female actresses attached to a project, ending up with Jennifer Lawrence isn’t a bad thing. While Reese Witherspoon and Rachel McAdams were previously attached, Lawrence is now in talks for the sci-fi romance, and to make the film a little more interesting, so is Chris Pratt, according to TheWrap.

Pratt is also replacing someone, as Keanu Reeves was attached for a long time.

Pratt will play one of thousands of people who set off on an 120-year interstellar voyage to a new planet. However he wakes up 90 years ahead of schedule, with only androids for company. In need of other human, he decides to wake up a female journalist named Aurora (Lawrence). They inevitably begin to fall in love, and also discover a malfunction on the ship that could threaten their lives.

Morten Tyldum (The Imitation Game, Headhunters) recently came onboard to direct the movie, although it’s not clear when the film will shoot.

Jurassic World Super Bowl Spot – Chris Pratt shows off his velociraptor skills

By Leave a Comment

jurassic-world-poster1-slideWhen early trailers for movies come out, there’s often a lot of complaining about the special effects, with many not realising that due to the fact it’s months until the release the shots we’re getting aren’t in there finished form.

That was certain true of the Jurassic World trailer, but now the Super Bowl spot is here, which contains many of the same shots but the quality of the dinos has certainly improved. Hell, there’s even a shot which in the original trailer was just people running and screening, and now is full of pterodactyls.

There are also a few neat additions, such as Chris Pratt showing he’s figured out how to work with the velociraptors and stop them eating him, as well as glimpses of the movie’s fearsome genetically created beasty, the Indominus Rex.

Take a look below. [Read more…]

Chris Pratt Gets Photobombed By A Velociraptor In A New Jurassic World Pic

By Leave a Comment

Chris Pratt & raptor in Jurassic WorldI still can’t get over how fricking hot Chris Pratt has become since he started working out (maybe there’s still hope for me), and that’s certainly true in this new pic, released by Jurassic World director Colin Trevorrow on Twitter as a festive treat.

While we might all like to get photobombed by a raptor, Trevorrow says, ‘Happy Holidays from the editing room. Do not try this at home.’

It’s an apt pic as in interviews Trevorrow has confirmed that Pratt’s character has been studying the raptors and has developed a relationship with them – they’re not friends and can’t be trained to do tricks, but it appears things may have moved on from the super-smart agents of destruction they’ve been in earlier movies. That would certainly explain the shot in the trailer where Pratt is riding a motorbike in amongst a pack of the dinosaurs.

You can take a look at that trailer here.

Chris Pratt May Be One Of The Magnificent Seven Alongside Denzel Washington

By Leave a Comment

Chris-Pratt-Jurassic-WorldChris Pratt has had one hell of a year, with Guardians Of The Galaxy turning him into a bona fide movie star, voicing the lead character in The Lego Movie, shooting next year’s biggie Jurassic World and being in contention for all manner of massive movie roles.

Now he may have a new one, as Deadline reports he’s in early talks to join the cast of the planned Magnificent Seven remake.

It won’t be a straight remake, so Pratt wouldn’t be taking over the exact role played by one of the original seven, but assuming he signs on he will play a character named Farraday. Denzel Washington is also set to star.

1960′s The Magnificent Seven was loosely inspired by Akira Kurosawa’s Seven Samurai and followed seven old west gunslingers (Yul Brynner, Steve McQueen, Charles Bronson, Robert Vaughn, Brad Dexter, James Coburn and Horst Buchholz) who are hired by a small Mexican village to defend their homes from the villainous Calvera (Eli Wallach). It’s not known who closely the new version will stick to that plotline, although it is known the characters will change.

Antoine Fuqua (The Equalizer) is directing from a script originally written by True Detective creator Nic Pizzolatto, with John Lee Hancock providing a rewrite.

Jurassic World Trailer – Chris Pratt versus the dinosaurs

By Leave a Comment

jurassic-world-poster1-slideWatching the trailer for Jurassic World, you get the impression that Chris Pratt is the only person who’s seen the first three movies, as like most of us he quickly realises that while dinosaurs might be trouble, that goes double for creating your own genetically modified super-predator beast.

It does look pretty cool though, with the trailer – which we’d been promised on Friday but which has appeared online early – giving us a look at the rather futuristic and fully operational dino park. As you’d expect things quickly start to go wrong.

However it would appear that this time it’s not just humans vs. dinosaurs, as the genetically modified super-beast means many of the dinos are in just as much trouble as the people. Take a look at the trailer below.

Bryce Dallas Howard, Ty Simpkins, Nick Robinson, Irrfan Khan, Vincent D’Onofrio, Jake Johnson, Omar Sy, BD Wong and Judy Greer also star. It’s due out in the UK June 12th 2015. [Read more…]

Jurassic World Trailer Tease – Chris Pratt & Bryce Dallas Howard enter the dinosaur park

By Leave a Comment

Chris-Pratt-Jurassic-WorldAfter a 14 year gap the Jurassic Park franchise is returning in 2015 with Jurassic World, which takes us inside the fully functioning dinosaur theme park that John Hammond always envisioned. Now we can take out first look, although a very brief one. It does show us some real footage though, including some dinos, along with stars Bryce Dallas Howard and Chris Pratt.

Along with the 15 second tease is the promise we’ll be getting a full trailer this Friday.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Steven Spielberg returns to executive produce the long-awaited next installment of his groundbreaking Jurassic Park series, Jurassic World. Colin Trevorrow directs the epic action-adventure from a screenplay he wrote with Derek Connolly. Frank Marshall and Pat Crowley join the team as fellow producers.

‘Jurassic World was shot in 3D and will be released by Universal Pictures in June  12th, 2015.’ [Read more…]

Crush Of The Day: Battle Of The Sexiest Men Alive – Chris Hemsworth vs. Chris Pratt

By 2 Comments

chris-pratt-chris-hemsworthThis week seems to be the week when magazines are deciding who is the sexiest man alive. I’m not sure who gave them that job, but they often come up with some interesting results. In the last day or so GQ revealed their men (and one woman) of the year, with covers for Chris Pratt, Dave Chappelle, Ansel Elgort, Michael Sam, Steve Carell and Shailene Woodley. Now People magazine has revealed their sexiest man of the year is Chris Hemworth.

But which Chris is really the best – Pratt or Hemsworth?

It’s a tough choice. Personally I think while I’d like to put Hemsworth on a plinth and admire the prettiness, Pratt is the one I’d prefer to cosy up on the couch with.

Of his honour, Hemsworth says, “[It’s] pretty funny…I think you’ve bought me a couple of weeks of bragging rights around the house. I can just say to [my wife, Spanish model Elsa Pataky], ‘Now remember, this is what the people think, so I don’t need to do the dishes anymore, I don’t need to change nappies. I’m above that. I’ve made it now.'”

We’re assuming the Aussie is joking.

As for Chris Pratt, those hoping the slightly tubbier Chris of Parks And Recreation will return are in for a disappointement (at least if he can stick with the current plan, which is a no-starch and no-booze diet). He tells GQ, “I’m done with that. I just feel like, if I drink, I want to drink a case of beer and not two beers. Two beers doesn’t do anything for me.”

But which of them is really the sexiest? Well take a look at the pics from Pratt’s very hot GQ shoot below, along with a few of the delectable Mr. Hemsworth, then let us know which you prefer in the comments. [Read more…]

Chris Pratt Is Set To Be A Cowboy Ninja Viking

By Leave a Comment

Chris-Pratt-Jurassic-WorldIt’s been one hell of a year for Chris Pratt, who went from the slightly chubby guy from Park & Recreation to being a bona fide movie star with Guardians Of The Galaxy.

However he won’t just be sticking with Star Lord, as Collider suggests that he’ll be taking the lead role in Cowboy Ninja Viking.

The film has been in the works for some time, based on the comic series by writer A. J. Lieberman and artist Riley Rossmo. The film follows a secret government program to turn schizophrenics into assassins.

Pratt will be Duncan, who comes through the program with the skill sets of a cowboy, ninja and a viking. While most of the patients involved in the program are sent back to insane asylum after the program goes awry in Iraq, he escapes and uses his skills to track down the billionaire who masterminded the program.

While Marc Forster (Quantum Of Solace, World War Z) signed up to direct in 2012, he’s no longer involved and no other director has been hired as yet.

Is A Young Chris Pratt A Hottie Or A ‘Douchemaster McChest’?

By Leave a Comment

chris-pratt-2000-headshotThere’s little doubt that in Guardians Of The Galaxy Chris Pratt is a hottie of the highest order, but what about back in 2000?

Chris himself doesn’t seem that impressed with himself back than, as he shared the image above on Twitter along with the message, ‘The name’s Douchemaster McChest And this is my first headshot. You’re welcome. #throwbackthursday circa 2000′.

Sure it’s a little cheesy, but we’re not thinking Douchemaster McChest. Perhaps the muttonchops don’t work and he could do with a bit of a haircut, but other than that he’s looking fine.

We’re presuming that’s not the image he provided to Marvel before they cast him in Guardians though.

So which do you prefer, Mr. Pratt above or the newer version below? [Read more…]
