Summer In February Trailer – Dan Stevens, Dominic Cooper & Emily Browning go bohemian

April 11, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment


Directed by Christopher Menaul with a screenplay written by Jonathan Smith based on his 1995 novel, Summer In February stars Dan Stevens (Downton Abbey), Dominic Cooper (The Devil’s Double), Emily Browning (Sucker Punch) and winner of the Evening Standard and the Critics’ Choice Theatre Awards for Best Actress for her performance in the Young Vic’s A Doll’s House; Harriet Morahan.

The film is the intimate true story of young, vibrant souls navigating their way through love, passion and friendship in the picturesque landscape of early twentieth century England. Summer In February focuses on the wild and bohemian Lamorna Group, dominated by the charismatic AJ Munnings (Dominic Cooper). The incendiary anti-Modernist Munnings, now regarded as one of Britain’s most sought-after artists, is at the heart of a complex love triangle involving the young, aspiring painter Florence Carter-Wood (Emily Browning) and Gilbert Evans (Dan Stevens), the land agent in charge of the Lamorna estate. Renowned painter Laura Knight is played by Hattie Morahan.

The story is played out against the timeless beauty of the Cornish coast, in the far West of England, beyond the reach of London and its stifling conventions. It hits UK cinemas on June 14th. [Read more…]

Jared Harris Heads For Pompeii With Kit Harington & Emily Browning

March 14, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

jared-harrisJared Harris is always a great person to cast in any movie, and now he has joined Paul W.S. Anderson’s upcoming action-adventure film, Pompeii, according to THR. He joins Game of Thrones’ Kit Harington and Sucker Punch’s Emily Browning in the movie.

As you’d expect, the movie is set around the time Vesuvius erupted and buried the town of Pompeii. In the  late first century AD, Milo (Kit Harington) is a former slave turned gladiator. He is forced into a race against time to save his lover Flavia (Emily Browning) after discovering that she has been unwillingly promised to a corrupt Roman General – and of cource the volcano is rumbling.

Jared Harris will play Flavia’s father. The actor is best known for his role as Moriarty in Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows, and has also been seen in the likes of Mad Men and Fringe.

Paul W.S. Anderson is directing from a script by Lee and Janet Scott Batchler, which was more recently reworked by Downton Abbey creator Julian Fellowes.

Emily Browning Going To Pompeii With Director Paul WS Anderson

February 27, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

emily-browningThe destruction of Pompeii in 79AD is an event that’s lived long in the public consciousness, largely due to the ruins left behind and the casts of those caught in the devastation. However while most know there was a Volcano, not that many know more than that.

Paul WS Anderson (Resident Evil, The Three Musketeers) is planning to change that, as he’s putting together Pompeii, all about the disaster. Kit Harington (Game Of Thrones) is already set to star, and now Dark Horizons reports he’ll be joined by Sucker Punch actress Emily Browning.

Pompeii revolves around the slave of a shipping tycoon (Harington) who dreams of the day he can buy his freedom and marry his master’s daughter (Browning). What the slave doesn’t know is that she’s already been promised to a corrupt Roman senator, while he’s been sold to another owner. Just when things can’t get any worse, Mt. Vesuvius erupts with the power of 40 nuclear bombs. But the slave is trapped on a ship headed for Naples, separated from his love and best friend, a gladiator who is trapped in the city’s coliseum. As fire and ash destroy the only world he’s ever known, the slave is determined to get back and rescue them.

Lee Batchler, Janet Scott Batchler and Downton Abbey creator Julian Fellowes penned the script. It’s not clear when it will shoot.

First Look At Michael Cera In Sebastian Silva’s New Thriller

October 23, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

The first images have arrived on the likes of Michael Cera and Emily Browning in a film which until very recently was going by the title Magic Magic but currently doesn’t have a name. Despite the lack of a title, the makers are keen to show off the movie at the American Film Market, so the film pics and a poster for the film have been released via ShockTilYouDrop.

The site says, ‘Sebastian Silva writes and directs the film which concerns a young American traveler named Alicia (Juno Temple) who, while in the spectacular Chilean lake district, begins seeing disturbing images visible only to her. Her best friend Sarah (Emily Browning) suddenly returns to Santiago, leaving Alicia in an unfamiliar country surrounded by strangers (Michael Cera and Catalina Sandino Moreno). More and more she unravels, seeing darker visions and hearing chilling noises that send her running into the woods. In this disturbing landscape, she experiences crushing terror and knows that she must escape. A destabilizing, psychological thriller recalling the best works in the genre, this film entices viewers into a world they won’t be able to forget.’

Cam Gigandet Goes Psychological In Catherine Hardwicke’s Plush

June 19, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Catherine Hardwicke must have liked working with Cam Gigandet on Twilight, as Variety reports she’s just cast the actor in her new psychological thriller, Plush, which already has Emily Browning on board to star.

Gigandet will play a psychologist who can literally see the inner memories of his patients. He delves deep inside the minds of his patients to help them deal with their own demons. The story intensifies when he meets a young woman (Emily Browning) who has the same gift that he does.

Gigandet will make the buffest psychologist we’ve ever seen! Catherine Hardwicke (Red Riding Hood) is producing and directing from a screenplay she co-wrote with Artie Nelson.

Emily Browning Up For Catherine Hardwicke’s Plush

May 28, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Sucker Punch should have been a star-making turn for Emily Browning, but the film’s failure meant her performance got pretty much ignored. However she’s still around and will be seen this summer in Magic Mike. Now she’s in talks for a new role according to Variety, Plush, from director Catherine Hardwicke (Twilight, Red Riding Hood).

Hardwicke and co-writer Artie Nelson have come up with the script about a psychologist who has an extra edge on helping his patients through their troubles. As well as being a therapist, he’s also a psychic and can dive into his clients’ minds and witness their memories, all the better to aid them in overcoming their personal demons. However, when he meets a traumatised teenager (Browning) who shares his gift, he seems to have met his match.

It’s a potentially interesting plot and something Browning should do well, who seems to specialise in innocents with a hard edge.

Sleeping Beauty (DVD)

February 22, 2012 By Tim Isaac 1 Comment

Starring: Emily Browning, Rachael Blake, Ewen Leslie
Director: Julia Leigh
Running Time: 101 mins
Certificate: 18
Release Date: February 27th, 2012

Sleeping Beauty is not an easy film, I’m not even sure it’s a good one, but it does suggest Julia Leigh is a filmmaker to look out for in the future, even if her debut effort is more a series of effective moments than a truly successful complete film.

Emily Browning stars as Lucy, a rather disconnected young woman doing everything she can to make ends meet while also trying to study. However she doesn’t seem that interested in her life or those around her. She answers an advert for a very well paid job, starting off as a sexy silver service waitress at events for old horny men. However the job turns into something else, with Lucy agreeing to be a Sleeping Beauty, where she is drugged, falls asleep and is then visited by men. When she wakes up, she can’t remember what has happened, although the woman who arranges it all promises her ‘vagina is sacred’ and will not be penetrated. [Read more…]
