Roman J. Israel, Esq. Trailer – Denzel Washington is a lawyer seeking justice

October 8, 2017 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

It feels like every year around the beginning of autumn, a film comes along starring Denzel Washington that’s being tipped to give him an Oscar nomination. This year’s entry is Roman J. Israel, Esq., directed by Tony Gilroy (Nightcrawler).

Here’s the synopsis: Roman J. Israel, Esq. is a dramatic thriller set in the underbelly of the overburdened Los Angeles criminal court system. Denzel Washington stars as a driven, idealistic defence attorney whose life is upended when a turbulent series of events challenge the activism that has defined his career. Colin Farrell co-stars as the ambitious, moneyed lawyer who recruits Roman to his firm.

The film is due to hit UK cinemas in December. Take a look at the trailer below. [Read more…]

November 27, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

fences-slideJust from watching this trailer, it’s a decent bet Fences will be lining a few Oscar nomination in a few months time. Indeed, Denzel Washington (who both stars and directs) and Viola Davis already look like shoo-in for noms.

Here’s the synopsis of August Wilson‘s Pulitzer Prize-winning play the film is based on: ‘Troy Maxson, is a strong man, a hard man. He has had to be to survive. Troy Maxson has gone through life in an America where to be proud and black is to face pressures that could crush a man, body and soul. But the 1950s are yielding to the new spirit of liberation in the 1960s, a spirit that is changing the world Troy Maxson has learned to deal with the only way he can, a spirit that is making him a stranger, angry and afraid, in a world he never knew and to a wife and son he understands less and less.’

The film will be in cinemas at the end of the year. Take a look at the trailer below. [Read more…]

July 18, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

magnificent-seven-slideThere are still plenty of people wondering whether The Magnificent Seven needs a remake, but we’re getting one. It certainly helps that they’ve brought together a great cast, including Denzel Washington, Chris Pratt, Ethan Hawke, Vincent D’Onofrio, Byung-Hun Lee and Peter Sarsgaard.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Director Antoine Fuqua brings his modern vision to a classic story in Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Pictures’ and Columbia Pictures’ The Magnificent Seven.  With the sleepy town of Rose Creek under the deadly control of industrialist Bartholomew Bogue (Peter Sarsgaard), the desperate towns people employ protection from seven outlaws, bounty hunters, gamblers and hired guns – Sam Chisolm (Denzel Washington), Josh Farraday (Chris Pratt), Goodnight Robicheaux (Ethan Hawke), Jack Horne (Vincent D’Onofrio), Billy Rocks (Byung-Hun Lee), Vasquez (Manuel Garcia-Rulfo), and Red Harvest (Martin Sensmeier).  As they prepare the town for the violent showdown that they know is coming, these seven mercenaries find themselves fighting for more than money.’

The movie is due out in September. Take a look at the new trailer below. [Read more…]

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

December 5, 2014 By Tim Isaac 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.

New The Equalizer Trailer & Clip – Denzel Washington wants justice for Chloe Moretz

September 3, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

the-equalizer-2014-slideIt seems like we’ve been waiting an awful long time for The Equalizer. After all, it went into production over a year ago and the first image arrived last December. However we’ll be able to finally see Denzel Washington’s take on the 80s TV series later this month.

And Sony must have high hopes for it, as they started developing a sequel last February.

Now a new trailer has arrived (via Enimen’s Youtube channel, no less), along with a clip and featurette, all of which you can watch below.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘In The Equalizer, Denzel Washington plays McCall, a former black ops commando who has faked his death to live a quiet life in Boston. When he comes out of his self-imposed retirement to rescue a young girl, Teri (Chloë Grace Moretz), he finds himself face to face with ultra-violent Russian gangsters. As he serves vengeance against those who brutalize the helpless, McCall’s desire for justice is reawakened. If someone has a problem, the odds are stacked against them, and they have nowhere else to turn, McCall will help. He is The Equalizer.’

The film arrives in cinemas on September 26th. [Read more…]

Denzel Washington & Director Antoine Fuqua Circling Magnificent Seven Remake

June 6, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

denzel-washingtonThe first time Denzel Washington teamed up with director Antoine Fuqua, with Training Day, he won an Oscar. Their latest collaboration, the upcoming The Equalizer, is also expected to be a big success.

Now they’re thinking of making another movie together, and they’re taking on a classic in the process. Variety reports that they’re circling the long-gestating remake of The Magnificent Seven.

News of the project first emerged back in August 2012, when Nic Pizzolatto (who’s since gone on to major success with True Detective) signed on to write the script. Tom Cruise attached himself to star at that time. He dropped out of the remake in December, just as John Lee Hancock (Saving Mr. Banks) came on board to rewrite the script.

1960’s The Magnificent Seven is loosely inspired by Akira Kurosawa’s Seven Samurai and follows 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.

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.
