Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 2 Trailer – Katniss is going to war

June 9, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

mockingjay-part-2-pic1-slideFor the first bit of this Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 2 trailer it seems things are going surprisingly well for Katniss and her allies. However it should come as no surprise to discover that doesn’t last long and soon the war that Part 1 promised is in full swing.

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 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.’

Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 2 is released in UK cinemas on 19th November 2015. [Read more…]

First Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 2 Poster & Teaser Revealed

March 18, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Hunger-Games-Mockingjay-Part-2-poster1The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1 may have only just arrived on DVD, but Lionsgate is already thinking to the future and the release of the final film in the series later this year.

They’ve now released the first poster and teaser/logo for the film (via EW), and it probably won’t be a shock to find that it’s reminiscent of a lot of the earlier films, with an image of a Mockingjay, but taken from a slightly different angle.

It’s a good reminder though – as if we needed it – that later this year we’ll be able to see what happens to Katniss and her allies as they go up against the evil Capitol in a final showdown.

Mockingjay Part 2 will be in cinema November 20th. [Read more…]

Elizabeth Banks To Play Billie Jean King In HBO’s Battle Of The Sexes Biopic

March 10, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

elizabeth-banksFollowing the success of the 2013 documentary Battle Of The Sexes there was a lot of interest in turning that story into a feature film. At one point Danny Boyle was planning to turn the tale of Billie Jean King’s infamous match against misogynist Bobby Riggs into a movie, and shortly after that Will Ferrell signed up to play Riggs in a rival flick.

Neither of those films came to pass, but now HBO has stepped up to the plate to get a film about the match made, and they’ve got a great cast to help, as Variety reports that Elizabeth Banks will play King, with Paul Giamatti as Riggs.

The film will be set in the early 70s, when former male World Number 1 tennis played and self-proclaimed chauvinist Bobby Riggs’ declared that the female game was inferior and that a top woman player couldn’t beat him even at the age of 55. He then challenged the already legendary female player Billie Jean King to a match, but she declined.

However Margaret Court, who was then the top female player in the world, took on the challenge, but lost to Bobby in straight sets, seemingly confirming Riggs’ claims. King wasn’t going to stand for that and agreed to play Bobby in what became a nationally televised media sensation.

It was an important time in King’s life for another reason too, as for the first time she’d relatively recently become involved in a relationship with a woman, even though she was still married to a man at the time.

It’s not known if the HBO movie will cover that aspect of King’s life or if it will just stick to the tennis. David Auburn (Proof) is set to write, although it doesn’t appear a director is attached as yet.

New Pitch Perfect 2 Trailer – Anna Kendrick & co. make a song & dance about it

February 10, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

pitch-perfect-2-poster2Things are getting patriotic and a lot of fun in the new trailer for Pitch Perfect 2, which suggests this may be just as entertaining as the first movie, which became a surprise hit in 2012.

The stakes are raised in the sequel with Anna Kendrick and co. heading off to the world a cappella championships – which seem far bigger and more rock ‘n’ roll that you might expect. It’s also great to see Rebel Wilson’s Fat Amy back in action, and it looks like she’ll be just as entertaining this time around.

Along with returning stars such as Anna Kendrick, Skylar Astin, Rebel Wilson, Adam DeVine, Anna Camp, Brittany Snow and Elizabeth Banks, Hailee Steinfeld joins the ranks, with the actress said to have come on board in preparation with a possible Pitch Perfect 3.

The movie will be in cinemas May 15th. [Read more…]

The Hunger Games: Mockingjay District 13 Character Posters Emerge

August 8, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

hunger-games-mockingjay-district-13-logoIn the world of The Hunger Game, the 12 districts had always been told the District 13 was completely obliterated after they tried to stand up to the Capitol. However as we discover in Mockingjay, that’s not true, as that’s where Katniss and others end up and where war against the ruling elite is brewing.

Now District 13 has a logo and six character posters, which you can see above, and as you can tell, it’s not exactly a happy, jolly Elysium – indeed it appears they have a major thing for grey.

The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1 is due out November 21st, 2014, with the final film (until an inevitable further sequel or spin-off is announced), The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 2, out the same time the following year. [Read more…]

Now there are all sorts of popular ranges, TV shows and incredibly successful computer games – it’s certainly not just a load of blocks in box anymore.

Now it’s come to home ent. and if you missed it in theatres, you need to check it out now. [Read more…]

New Walk Of Shame Red Band Trailer – Elizabeth Banks has a bad morning after sleeping with James Marsden

April 16, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment


Elizabeth Banks is always a lot of fun and James Marsden is usually pretty good value for money too. The both got to play the partners of the leads on 30 Rock, but as one was with Alec Baldwin and the other Tina Fey, they didn’t get many scenes together.

However that’s gonna change with Walk Of Shame, which now has a new red band trailer.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘After losing an audition for her dream job, an aspiring Los Angeles TV news anchor goes out for an uncharacteristic night of partying. She awakes in a stranger’s bed to a phone message from her agent telling her the job is hers, if she can make it across town by 5 pm. Stranded in an unknown area without money, a phone, and a car, she embarks on a series of misadventures as she races to the most important job interview of her life.’

A May US release is set. [Read more…]
