The Happytime Murders Red Band Trailer – Melissa McCarthy joins a grown-up puppet noir

August 15, 2018 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

For quite a few years The Jim Henson Company has been working on The Happytime Murders, but despite plans to shoot in 2010 and 2012, and stars likes Katherine Heigl, Cameron Diaz and Jamie Foxx linked to it at various times, the project remained stuck in development hell. ​Now though it’s in the can with Melissa McCarthy starring, even if it did have a few troubles after the first trailer and poster was released, when the owners of Sesame Street sued them as they felt this very grown-up puppet movie was trying to link itself to the kids programme.

That lawsuit quickly went away, and now a new trailer has arrived to give us a fresh look at some very rude puppetry.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘THE HAPPYTIME MURDERS is set in the underbelly of Los Angeles where puppets and humans coexist. Two clashing detectives, one human and one puppet, are forced to work together to try and solve who is brutally murdering the former cast of “The Happytime Gang,” a beloved classic puppet show.’

Joel McHale, Maya Rudolph and Elizabeth Banks also star. Take a look at the new trailer below. The movie will be in cinemas on August 27th. [Read more…]

New Power Rangers Trailer – The Mighty Morphers return to fight Elizabeth Banks

February 18, 2017 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Shiny lycra, men in monster suits, stunningly cheap looking special effects – that’s what Mighty Morphin Power Rangers is all about, right? Well, not any more, as for its movie reboot it’s been given a bigger budget and some far better production values.

Now the new trailer has arrived to give us a fresh look at the new Rangers, as well as Elizabeth Banks as Rita Repulsa, and Bryan Cranston as Zordon. You can take a look below.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Saban’s Power Rangers follows five ordinary high school kids who must become something extraordinary when they learn that their small town of Angel Grove – and the world – is on the verge of being obliterated by an alien threat. Chosen by destiny, our heroes quickly discover that they are the only ones who can save the planet. But to do so they will have to overcome their real-life issues and band together as the Power Rangers before it is too late.’

The movie will be in cinemas in late March. [Read more…]

January 19, 2017 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Shiny lycra, men in monster suits, stunningly cheap looking special effects – that’s what Mighty Morphin Power Rangers is all about, right? Well, not any more, as for its movie reboot it’s been given a bigger budget and some far better production values.

Now the first full trailer has arrived, which gives us our best look yet at the new Rangers, as well as Elizabeth Banks as Rita Repulsa, and our first view of Bryan Cranston as Zordon. You can take a look below.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Saban’s Power Rangers follows five ordinary high school kids who must become something extraordinary when they learn that their small town of Angel Grove – and the world – is on the verge of being obliterated by an alien threat.

Elizabeth Banks’ Rita Repulsa Gets Trapped In New Power Rangers Image

August 17, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

power-rangers-elizabeth-banksIt can’t be long until we get a trailer for the new Power Rangers movie, but until then we’ve got a new image featuring Elizabeth Banks as the evil Rita Repula, trapped behind some type of ice or crystal wall. Once again it underlines that this won’t be like the fun but slightly cheesy TV show.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Saban’s Power Rangers follows five ordinary high school kids who must become something extraordinary when they learn that their small town of Angel Grove – and the world – is on the verge of being obliterated by an alien threat. Chosen by destiny, our heroes quickly discover that they are the only ones who can save the planet. But to do so they will have to overcome their real-life issues and band together as the Power Rangers before it is too late.’

The movie will be in cinemas next February.

Elizabeth Banks, Helena Bonham Carter & Mindy Kaling May Join Female Ocean’s 11 Spin-Off

June 11, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

elizabeth-banksA few days ago we reported that Cate Blanchett is in talks to join Sandra Bullock in the planned Ocean’s 11 spin-off, which will revolve around a group of female thieves. Now it seems director Gary Ross is filling out the other central roles, as Showbiz 411 reports that Elizabeth Banks, Helena Bonham Carter & Mindy Kaling are all likely to sign on too.

It’s believed the movie will centre on eight female thieves (the working title is Ocean’s Ocho), so there are a few more roles to cast yet. Rumours suggest Bullock’s character may be Danny Ocean’s sister, but no plot details have been released.

Hunger Games helmer Gary Ross should start shooting the movie either later this year or early next year, with filming believed to be taking place in New York.

First Look At A Rather Green Elizabeth Banks As Rita Repulsa In The Power Rangers Movie

April 19, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

power-rangers-elizabeth-banksElizabeth Banks can’t have had enough of going to the extremes of fashion as Effie Trinket in the Hunger Games movie, as the first image of her as Rita Repulsa in the new Power Rangers movie is a bit of a Capitol wet dream. She certainly looks better than the original Rita, who often seemed to be wearing a duvet.

Hopefully Banks’ take on the character will also be a bit more ingenious than the original, whose only plan was to take take something small, make it enormous and then the Power Rangers would turn into a giant robot to beat it up. The actress is keen to point out that things have indeed changed, telling People, “I’ve never played a villain before. It’s definitely a modern and edgy re-imagining of the original Rita Repulsa. We wanted to give her a backstory that connects her to the new Rangers.”

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Saban’s Power Rangers follows five ordinary high school kids who must become something extraordinary when they learn that their small town of Angel Grove – and the world – is on the verge of being obliterated by an alien threat. Chosen by destiny, our heroes quickly discover that they are the only ones who can save the planet. But to do so they will have to overcome their real-life issues and band together as the Power Rangers before it is too late.’

The film also stars R.J. Cyler as Billy (the Blue Ranger), Naomi Scott as Kimberly (the Pink Ranger), Ludi Lin as Zack (the Black Ranger), Becky G as Trini (the Yellow Ranger), and Dacre Montgomery as Jason (the Red Ranger). The film will be out March 2017.

Elizabeth Banks Will Be Getting Villainous In The Power Rangers Movie

February 2, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

elizabeth-banks

The planned Power Rangers movie has taken longer to put together than originally planned, but now its added a famous name to underline that this is going to be a bit higher budget than previous attempts to put the show into movie form. THR reports that Elizabeth Banks is in talks to play the movie’s main villain.

She will be playing a classic Power Ranger character, the alien witch Rita Repulsa. In the original show, Rita had designs on Earth and was continually sending monsters and other creatures that the Power Rangers had to use their powers to sort out – which always started out small but then grew enormous, so the rangers could engage in some mecha action. She was also known for always looking slightly confused about what she was doing, and the fact her mouth never moved in time with her words (due to the fact she was from the original Japanese series that the show was edited from).

Relative newcomers RJ Cyler, Becky G, Ludi Lin, Naomi Scott, and Dacre Montgomery are playing the Power Rangers, who will have to fight off Rita’s forces. Project Almanac’s Dean Israelite will direct, with shooting kicking off in the next few months.

October 6, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

mockingjay-part-2-poster2-slideOn November 19th we’ll get to see how The Hunger Games series comes to an end with Mockingjay – Part 2. It’s certainly been quite a ride to get here, with some really good movies which have become box office titans.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘With the nation of Panem in a full scale war, Katniss confronts President Snow [Donald Sutherland] in the final showdown. Teamed with a group of her closest friends – including Gale [Liam Hemsworth], Finnick [Sam Claflin], and Peeta [Josh Hutcherson] – Katniss goes off on a mission with the unit from District 13 as they risk their lives to liberate the citizens of Panem, and stage an assassination attempt on President Snow who has become increasingly obsessed with destroying her.

‘The mortal traps, enemies, and moral choices that await Katniss will challenge her more than any arena she faced in The Hunger Games.’
