Dev Patel In Talks For Neill Blomkamp’s Chappie

July 9, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Dev-Patel There was a big gap between District 9 and Elysium, but director Neill Blomkamp is working hard to ensure his next movie doesn’t take as long. He’s already signed up old cohort Sharlto Copley for the movie, and now THR reports that Slumdog Millionaire star Dev Patel is in early talks for the movie.

If he does sign on, the movie would take him back to the slums, as while much of the story is being kept under wraps, it is known that Chappie is based on a 2005 short by Blomkamp, called Tetra Vaal, which was a fake ad for a robotic police force patrolling the slums of South Africa (you can watch that below). It certainly seems Blomkamp is keeping with the sci-fi with a social edge.

Blomkamp’s next movie, Elysium hits US cinemas on August 9th and comes to the UK on August 26th.

About Cherry Trailer – James Franco & Heather Graham guide a girl’s life

August 1, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Boogie Nights actress Heather Graham returns to the world of porn and James Franco goes sleazy lawyer in About Cherry, which now has a new trailer. Here’s the synopsis, ‘Cherry is about Angelina (Ashley Hinshaw), an 18-year-old girl on the verge of finishing high school. Angelina’s family life is difficult. Her mother (Lili Taylor) is an alcoholic and her step-father is violent and unpredictable. One morning her boyfriend (Jonny Weston) suggests she take naked pictures for money. She balks at first but then does the photo shoot, using the money to run-off with her best friend (Dev Patel) to San Francisco. In San Francisco, while cocktailing in a strip club, Angelina meets Frances (James Franco) a well-off lawyer who offers to introduce her to a different kind of world, a place full of expensive dresses and fancy parties. But that world is not as perfect as it first appears and Frances has problems of his own. At the same time Angelina, using the moniker Cherry, has begun exploring the San Francisco porn industry under the direction of Margaret (Heather Graham) a former performer turned adult film director.’ No UK release is yet set.

The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel (DVD)

June 25, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Starring: Judi Dench, Maggie Smith, Dev Patel, Bill Nighy, Tom Wilkinson
Director: John Madden
Running Time: 118 mins
Certificate: 12
Release Date: June 25th, 2012

Judi Dench, Maggie Smith, Bill Nighy, Tom Wilkinson, Celia Imrie, Penelope Wilton, Dev Patel, Ronald Pickup – if you assemble a cast like that, you could get them to read the phone book and it would be entertaining. It would be tough to get them to make something that wasn’t at least worth a look, and thankfully although The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel is a relatively slight tale, it’s never less than charming.

Dench, Smith, Nighty, Wilkinson, Imrie, Wilton and Pickup play a group of aging Brits, who for one reason and another respond to an advert for The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel. The ad promises an Indian idyll where retirees can live out their days in luxury that brings to mind the days of the Raj. After a rather problematic journey to the hotel, the reality turns out to be rather different than what was promised, with the hotel falling to bits and little of the advertised luxury. [Read more…]
