New The Disaster Artist Trailer – James Franco becomes the director of the ‘worst film ever’

November 5, 2017 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

While there have been many movies in the last century that have been held up as the world film ever made. However, the one that’s made the strongest run for that title in the last 20 years is probably Tommy Wiseau’s 2003 movie The Room. Met with bemused derision and anger on its initial release, it fast became a cult sensation with audiences invited to marvel at just how dreadful it was.

It’s a film that’s long fascinated James Franco, who’s now made a movie about The Room’s unique creation, The Disaster Artist. It tells the tale of Wiseau who was more a profound artist in his own mind than reality, who decided to write, direct and star in a semi-autobiographical film. However, what started as a difficult production got progressively worse, as Wiseau’s strange filming methods got increasingly extreme, his money ran out, and not least that Tommy’s acting style was unique to say the least.

The film is out in the US and UK in December. Take a look at the new trailer below. [Read more…]

The Disaster Artist Trailer – James Franco takes on the director of the worst movie ever

July 18, 2017 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Stop the presses – James Franco has made a non-gay movie! However, he’s still interested in outsiders, this time taking on the true story of Tommy Wiseau, the director of 2003’s The Room, with James both directing and starring. The film is held up by many as the worst movie ever made, but has since become a cult favourite due to people being unable to believe how awful it is.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘With The Disaster Artist, James Franco transforms the tragicomic true-story of aspiring filmmaker and infamous Hollywood outsider Tommy Wiseau – an artist whose passion was as sincere as his methods were questionable – into a celebration of friendship, artistic expression, and dreams pursued against insurmountable odds. Based on Greg Sestero’s best-selling tell-all about the making of Tommy’s cult-classic disasterpiece The Room (“The Greatest Bad Movie Ever Made”), The Disaster Artist is a hilarious and welcome reminder that there is more than one way to become a legend— and no limit to what you can achieve when you have absolutely no idea what you’re doing.’

The film got some good reviews coming out of its SXSW debut, with many particularly impressed by Franco’s performance. The Disaster Artist is out in US cinemas in December. Take a look at the trailer below. [Read more…]

Dave Franco Gets Engaged To His Boyfriend In A New Bad Neighbours 2 Clip

May 21, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

bad-neighbours-2-dave-franco-engagementA few weeks ago it was confirmed that after some hints and homoeroticism in Bad Neighbours (known simply as Neighbors in the US), Dave Franco’s character, Pete, was going to be an out and proud gay man in the sequel. He’s also getting engaged, and if you haven’t seen it yet, a new clip shows a rather sweet set-up where the frat boys get together to make the proposal a special occasion.

In regard to the decision to allow Peter to come out and get engaged, director Nicholas Stoller has said, “Clearly, we’re playing with the homoerotic tension there [with the relationship between Pete and his frat brother Teddy (Zac Efron)], and I was like, ‘He should just be gay.’ Then in this one, it came up again. [Co-writer] Evan Goldberg brought it up, and he said, ‘I think he should be gay, and part of [his arc] should be the proposal.’ It was kind of all of us coming to the same conclusion.”

Take a look at the sweet clip below. Bad Neighbours 2 is in cinemas now. [Read more…]

Nerve Trailer – Emma Roberts and Dave Franco get involved in a dangerous game

May 11, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

nerve-slideThere’s a lot of concern about what young people get up to online, and that seems to be something Catfish’s Ariel Schulman and Henry Joost’s Nerve, about an online game of truth or dare. However, as it’s a movie things soon get out of hand.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Industrious high school senior, Vee Delmonico [Emma Roberts], has had it with living life on the sidelines. When pressured by friends to join the popular online game Nerve, Vee decides to sign up for just one dare in what seems like harmless fun. But as she finds herself caught up in the thrill of the adrenaline-fueled competition partnered with a mysterious stranger [Dave Franco], the game begins to take a sinister turn with increasingly dangerous acts, leading her into a high stakes finale that will determine her entire future.’

And as you can from the pic above, Dave Franco (and his big nipples) have certainly been working out!

Take a look at the trailer below. The film is out in the US in July. [Read more…]

Dave Franco’s Frat Brother Character Comes Out As Gay In Bad Neighbours 2

May 8, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

bad-neighbours-dave-francoIn Bad Neighbours (known simply as Neighbors in the US), there were jokes that suggested Dave Franco’s character, Pete, was gay but pretending he wasn’t, as well as playing up the homerotic undertones between him and Zac Efron’s character. Well, with the sequel, they’ve decided to stop being coy about it, as Pete is coming out.

Director Nicholas Stoller talked to Yahoo! about why they decided to be more open about it, which apparently happened after a journalist asked him why he’d never included a gay character in any of his films (such as Forgetting Sarah Marshall, Get Him to the Greek, and The Five-Year Engagement). It set Stoller thinking, “I was like, ‘I don’t know why. I literally don’t know. I have no good answer for that.’ So this seemed like an organic way to have that happen.”

With the relationship between Pete and Efron’s fellow frat brother, Teddy, he says, “Clearly, we’re playing with the homoerotic tension there, and I was like, ‘He should just be gay.’ Then in this one, it came up again. [Co-writer] Evan Goldberg brought it up, and he said, ‘I think he should be gay, and part of [his arc] should be the proposal.’ It was kind of all of us coming to the same conclusion.”

However, Teddy won’t be following Pete down the lavender path despite the level of their bromance, with Stoller adding, “A lot of Zac’s motivations in the first movie, especially with his girlfriend and stuff, seemed pretty straight. It felt like it might seem like a stunt if we made him gay. But it seemed to just work with Dave.”

Now You See Me 2 Trailer – The Four Horsemen (& Daniel Radcliffe) are back

March 16, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

now-you-see-me-2-pic1-slideAfter the surprise success of Now You See Me, it didn’t take long for them to put a sequel into development. It has taken a little longer to arrive that originally planned, but now it’s on its way and the main trailer has arrived.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘THE FOUR HORSEMEN return for their second mind-bending adventure, elevating the limits of stage illusion to new heights and taking them around the globe. One year after outwitting the FBI and winning the public’s adulation with their Robin-Hood-style magic spectacles, the illusionists resurface for a comeback performance. When the Horsemen are threatened into pulling off their most impossible heist yet, their only hope is to perform one last unprecedented stunt to clear their names and reveal the mastermind behind it all.

‘Starring Jesse Eisenberg, Mark Ruffalo, Woody Harrelson, Lizzy Caplan, Dave Franco, Morgan Freeman, Jay Chou, Daniel Radcliffe and Michael Caine. NOW YOU SEE ME 2 is released in UK cinemas on 4th July 2016.’ [Read more…]

Miles Teller, Ansel Elgort, Dave Franco & Logan Lerman On Young Han Solo Shortlist

January 11, 2016 By Tim Isaac 2 Comments

logan-lerman

The role of a young Han Solo in the planned Star Wars spin-off about the legendary character was always bound to be a hotly fought over role, and also one where Disney/Lucasfilm and directors Phil Lord and Chris Miller were likely to cast a wide net while looking for the perfect person. Now Variety reports they’re narrowing in on the actorwho’ll land the role, soming up with a shortlist of a dozen names.

That list includes some hot young things, such as Miles Teller, Ansel Elgort, Dave Franco, Logan Lerman, Jack Reynor, Scott Eastwood, Emory Cohen, and Blake Jenner. Earlier in the search the makers considered both older and younger actors but it looks like they’ve decided their film Han Solo should be in his early 20s (although Eastwood is a little older as he’s 29).

It is very early to cast, as the movie isn’t expected to go into production until January 2017 (for release May 25, 2018). However it’s suggested the reason that they want to find their man now is because of a planned cameo in this year’s Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, which is also set before the events of Star Wars: A New Hope.

All of the finalists are now expected to screen-test and the person who’ll be filling Harrison Ford’s boots will be chosen within the next few weeks. It’ll certainly be interesting to see who they pick, as some of those on the shortlist have the swagger and others have the looks, but it’s a tough job for someone to pull both those together in a way audiences will be happy with. Whoever it is, it seems we can be assured Han is gonna be very good looking.

Now You See Me 2 Teaser Trailer – Daniel Radcliffe tries a different kind of magic

November 18, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

now-you-see-me-2-pic1-slideOh the hilarity, Daniel Radcliffe is rubbish at magic! Let’s not hope that’s the whole joke with Now You See Me 2 (I presume it’s not), but this teaser trailer seems to love the idea of it.

Here’s the sequel’s synopsis: ‘THE FOUR HORSEMEN [Jesse Eisenberg, Woody Harrelson, Dave Franco, Lizzy Caplan] return for a second mind-bending adventure, elevating the limits of stage illusion to new heights and taking them around the globe.

‘One year after outwitting the FBI and winning the public’s adulation with their Robin Hood-style magic spectacles, the illusionists resurface for a comeback performance in hopes of exposing the unethical practices of a tech magnate. The man behind their vanishing act is none other than WALTER MABRY [Daniel Radcliffe], a tech prodigy who threatens the Horsemen into pulling off their most impossible heist yet.

‘Their only hope is to perform one last unprecedented stunt to clear their names and reveal the mastermind behind it all.’

The film hits cinemas next June.
