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…]
A 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.
There’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.
In 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.
After 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.
When it was in development it was called Business Trip, but now it’s become Unfinished Business and the first trailer and posters have arrived, which you can take a look at below.
