Synopsis: From Academy Award®-winning director Steve McQueen (“12 Years a Slave”) and co-writer and bestselling author Gillian Flynn (“Gone Girl”), comes a blistering, modern-day thriller set against the backdrop of crime, passion and corruption. “Widows” is the story of four women with nothing in common except a debt left behind by their dead husbands’ criminal activities.

‘Set in contemporary Chicago, amid a time of turmoil, tensions build when Veronica (Oscar® winner Viola Davis), Alice (Elizabeth Debicki), Linda (Michelle Rodriguez) and Belle (Cynthia Erivo) take their fate into their own hands and conspire to forge a future on their own terms. “Widows” also stars Liam Neeson, Colin Farrell, Robert Duvall, Daniel Kaluuya and Brian Tyree Henry.’

The Man From U.N.C.L.E. (Cinema Review)

August 11, 2015 By Mike Martin Leave a Comment

Starring: Henry Cavill, Armie Hammer, Alicia Vikander, Elizabeth Debicki, Hugh Grant
Director: Guy Ritchie
Running Time: 117 mins
Certificate: 12A
Release Date: August 14th 2015 (UK)

Turning one of the most beloved 1960s spy TV series into a movie was always going to be a gamble, but in the blokey hands of Guy Ritchie all is safe. It’s everything you’d hope for – stylish, great clothes, cool soundtrack, a decent enough plot about saving the world from a sociopath, and full of period detail.

Where it falls down is in the crucial chemistry between the leads – Armie Hammer does well as the grumpy, disapproving Soviet agent Kuryakin, but Henry Cavill as Napoleon Solo is so wooden you wonder why someone doesn’t mistake him for a park bench and sit on him. There is no chemistry at all between either of them and Alicia Vikander, whose ‘aren’t I pretty’ routine is becoming slightly wearing. [Read more…]

The Great Gatsby (DVD)

November 11, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Starring: Leonardo DiCaprio, Tobey Maguire, Elizabeth Debicki, Carey Mulligan, Joel Edgerton
Director: Baz Luhrmann
Running Time: 136 mins
Certificate: 12
Release Date: November 11th 2013

When it was first announced that Warner Bros. was making a $100+ million version of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby, many wondered why on earth they would spend so much on a literary adaptation – which aren’t traditionally massive box office successes – even if it was directed by Baz Luhrmann. There was some logic to it though. First is that Luhrmann has had huge success taking the historical and turning it into profitable spectacle with the likes of Romeo + Juliet and Moulin Rouge. Secondly it attracted big names like Leonardo DiCaprio and Tobey Maguire. [Read more…]

Elizabeth Debicki Joins Henry Cavill & Armie Hammer In The Man From U.N.C.L.E

August 1, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

After impressing as Jordan Baker in The Great Gatsby, Elizabeth Debicki has booked another high profile role, joining Armie Hammer and Henry Cavill in The Man From U.N.C.L.E, according to Variety.

The film is based on the 1960s The Man from U.N.C.L.E., which followed two agents from United Network Command for Law Enforcement (U.N.C.L.E.), who try to stop the evil-doers from Technological Hierarchy for the Removal of Undesirables and the Subjugation of Humanity (T.H.R.U.S.H.).

Cavill will be Napoleon Solo (played by Robert Vaughn in the TV series), with Armie Hammer as Illya Kuryakin (David McCallum). Alicia Vikander is also set to star, with Guy Ritchie directing. There’s no news on exactly who Debicki will play, but she’ll be some sort of femme fatale role.

A film version of the series has been mooted for decades, with just this latest attempt taking over 10 years to get from conception to the point where it’s ready to go in front of the cameras (it’ll shoot in September), with various writer and directors coming and going in that time. Everyone from Steven Soderbergh to George Clooney has been involved, but it’s only now that it’s actually happening.

Great Gatsby Character Posters Debut – Tobey Maguire, Joel Edgerton & more

December 19, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Great-Gatsby-character-poster4 If all had gone to the original plan, we’d have been queuing up to watch Baz Luhrmann’s The Great Gatsby in cinemas now, but then Warner decided to delay the movie from Christmas 2012 to May 2013. It’s an interesting tactic, as while traditionally a big budget literary release gets a winter release to potentially qualify for awards, summer is usually reserved for superheroes and other event movies.

We’ll have to wait and see whether it works, but to help get people in the mood for the F. Scott Fitzgerald adaptation, Warner has been releasing character poster for the movie. We don’t have the two main characters yet – Leo DiCaprio’s Jay Gatsby and Carey Mulligan’s Daisy Buchanan – but as you can see above and below, we do have ones for Tobey Maguire’s Nick Carraway, Elizabeth Debicki’s Jordan Baker and the adulterous couple of Joel Edgerton’s Tom Buchanan and Isla Fisher’s Myrtle Wilson.

The Great Gatsby follows Maguire’s Carraway, who gets caught up in the high society of Long Island in the 1930s, where he meets the rich, enigmatic Jay Gatsby, and uncovers the desires and machinations of those around him. It’s a great story that’s still waiting for a definitive film version, which hopefully Luhrmann can provide.
