Unsane Trailer – Steven Soderbergh has made a horror film on an iPhone, starring Claire Foy

By Leave a Comment

Steven Soderbergh came back from his self-imposed retirement last year with Logan Lucky. Now he’s lining up his next movie, and this time he’s decided that rather than expensive cameras, he was going to shoot the entire thing on an iPhone. He’s not the first to do it as other movies, most notably the award-winning Tangerine, have done it before, but the Ocean’s 11 helmer is certainly the highest profile director to go down that route.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘UNSANE is directed by Academy Award nominated director Steven Soderbergh (Logan Lucky, Erin Brockovich), stars Claire Foy (The Crown), Joshua Leonard (The Blair Witch Project), Jay Pharoah (Ride Along), Juno Temple (Atonement), Aimee Mullins (Stranger Things) and Amy Irving (Traffic).

‘A young woman leaves her hometown to escape a troubled past and begin a new job. But when she is involuntarily committed to a mental institution she is confronted by her greatest fear — but is it real or just her delusion? With seemingly no-one ready to believe her and the authorities unable or unwilling to help, she must confront her fears head on. With twisting perspectives and a shocking narrative, Unsane asks questions about our perception of reality, our survival instinct and the system that is supposed to take care of us.’

The movie hits UK cinemas on March 23rd. Take a look at the trailer below. [Read more…]

Breathe Trailer – Love conquers adversity for Andrew Garfield in Andy Serkis’ directorial debut

By Leave a Comment

Synopsis: ‘Andy Serkis (Jungle Book, Star Wars: The Force Awakens) makes his feature directorial debut with BREATHE. Based on a script by twice Academy Award-nominated writer William Nicholson (Everest, Les Misérables and Gladiator), BREATHE is an inspirational true story of love without limits.

‘Adventurous and charismatic, Robin Cavendish (Andrew Garfield – Hacksaw Ridge, Silence) has his whole life ahead of him when he is paralysed by polio whilst in Africa. Against all advice, Robin’s wife Diana (Claire Foy – Golden Globe Winner, The Crown, Wolf Hall) brings him home from hospital where her devotion and witty determination transcends his disability. Together they refuse to be imprisoned by his suffering; dazzling others with their humour, courage and lust for life. BREATHE is a heart-warming and highly emotional celebration of bravery and human possibility, a love story about living every breath as though it’s your last.

‘Based on the true story of producer Jonathan Cavendish’s own parents, BREATHE shows how Robin’s handling of and reaction to his illness had a huge impact on mobility and access for the disabled.

‘The film’s supporting cast members include Hugh Bonneville (Paddington and Downton Abbey) and Tom Hollander (Jungle Book and The Night Manager) as Robin’s devoted, long-time friends. Stephen Mangan (Rush) and acting legend Dame Diana Rigg (Game of Thrones, the original The Avengers) complete the cast with a soundtrack by the acclaimed composer Nitin Sawhney.

‘The film is produced by Jonathan Cavendish (Bridget Jones’s Diary) for The Imaginarium Studios. Financing is from Silver Reel, BBC Films and the BFI, brokered by Embankment Films.

‘STXinternational release the film across the UK and Ireland on 27th October.’ [Read more…]
