New Poster For Dreamworks’ Caveman Tale The Croods Debuts

By Leave a Comment

Although a lot of what Dreamworks Animation produces doesn’t seem all that interesting (mainly being designed to hoover up cash from kids), The Croods looks like it could be a lot of fun. Now a new poster from the film has debuted. Nicolas Cage stars as Grug, the patriarch of a prehistoric family who are forced to leave their home behind after a devastating earthquake. As they journey to find a new place to live, they encounter an intriguing nomad (Ryan Reynolds), who Grug’s daughter (Emma Stone) falls for. Kirk De Micco (Space Chimps) and Chris Sanders (How to Train Your Dragon) direct, with the film currently due to hit UK cinemas March 22nd, 2013.

New Pic From Dreamworks Animation’s The Crood

By Leave a Comment

Dreamworks Animation is going prehistoric with The Croods, which is due to hit cinemas next March 22nd. Now a new image from the film has emerged, via EW, which is billed as a first look, although we have had this poster before.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘The Croods is a 3D comedy adventure from DreamWorks Animation that takes us back to the beginning – to a previously undiscovered era known as the Croodacious – a time when Mother Nature was still experimenting and the flora and fauna we know today hasn’t evolved yet. At the heart of this comedically chaotic world is the Crood family, led by Grug (Academy Award® winner Nicolas Cage), an over-protective father who, like all dads, is doing all he can to hold his family together as the world around them changes at a dramatic pace.

‘Together with his wife (Catherine Keener), kids (Emma Stone and Clark Duke) and ornery mother-in-law (Cloris Leachman) in tow, Grug guides his family through this spectacular environment, full of amazing creatures, to find a new cave to call home. Along the way, they encounter Guy (Ryan Reynolds), an imaginative and resourceful newcomer who takes risks and wholeheartedly embraces the promise of tomorrow. Audiences will relate to the hilarious family antics as Guy helps the Croods navigate their way into the bright future.’

Emma Stone Takes On Cameron Crowe’s Next

By Leave a Comment

Not much info is known about Cameron Crowe’s next movie, but at least we now know that it’s going to star Emma Stone, as Deadline reports that the actress is set to play the female lead in the movie.

There’s no news on the title or the plot, although the film will apparently be largely a two-hander, pairing Stone with a man, who it appears is yet to be cast, in a comedic love story. The tone is said to be closer to Crowe classics such as Almost Famous and Jerry Maguire than the likes of We Bought A Zoo. And to be honest, that can only be a good thing.

It’s hoped that shooting will begin next spring.

Gorgeous New Gangster Squad Banner Debuts

By Leave a Comment

There are high hopes for Gangster Squad, the upcoming Ruben Fleischer movie which takes on the real-life story of LAPD’s fight to keep East Coast Mafia types out of Los Angeles in the 1940s and 50s. The film has an amazing cast, including Sean Penn, Ryan Gosling, Josh Brolin, Emma Stone, Nick Nolte and Anthony Mackie. The new banner above is gorgeous, recalling the Golden Age of Hollywood.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Los Angeles, 1949. Ruthless, Brooklyn-born mob king Mickey Cohen (Sean Penn) runs the show in this town, reaping the ill-gotten gains from the drugs, the guns, the prostitutes and – if he has his way – every wire bet placed west of Chicago. And he does it all with the protection of not only his own paid goons, but also the police and the politicians who are under his control. It’s enough to intimidate even the bravest, street-hardened cop…except, perhaps, for the small, secret crew of LAPD outsiders led by Sgt. John O’Mara (Josh Brolin) and Jerry Wooters (Ryan Gosling), who come together to try to tear Cohen’s world apart. Gangster Squad is a colorful retelling of events surrounding the LAPD’s efforts to take back their nascent city from one of the most dangerous mafia bosses of all time.’

The film hits UK cinemas on November 9th.

Amazing Spider-man Confirmed As A Trilogy

By Leave a Comment

Several months ago Sony announced that they were already working on a sequel to The Amazing Spider-man, and now, with the reboot making mega-bucks around the globe, they’ve confirmed this will be the first part of a trilogy.

The movie was confirmed in a Facebook post, which says, ‘It’s finally here! The Amazing Spider-Man is the first instalment in a movie trilogy that will explore how our fave hero’s journey was shaped by the disappearance of his parents.’

That seems to be a response to those who wondered what happened to the ‘Untold Story’ promised in the marketing materials. It appears a much larger part of the plot was originally about Peter’s parents and also added the idea that Peter didn’t get superpowers only because of being bitten by a spider. Many of these ideas appeared prominently in trailers and clips, but were cut from the final movie. However the Facebook post suggests that at least some of these threads will return in the planned trilogy.

Considering the amount of money studios spend on their tentpole flicks, you’d think that they’d at least be able to come up with something entertaining each time. However history has told us that each summer brings a slew of movies that promise much and deliver little. The moment it was announced that Sony was rebooting Spider-man only a decade after Sam Raimi’s first arachnid flicks, the fanboys and Internet doom-mongers immediately decried the whole idea and decided on principle that the film was a middle-finger to fans and to be ignored.

While some saw Marc Webb coming on-board to direct as a sign of promise, others immediately decided his lack of experience with big budget movies spelled disaster. Well, all the naysayers and incessant prophets of pessimism had better eat their words (and hopefully find something better to do with their lives, such as wait until movies are actually made and then go watch them), as The Amazing Spider-man is great.

Crush Of The Day: Andrew Garfield In The Amazing Spider-man

By Leave a Comment

I have a feeling Andrew Garfield might be my Crush Of The Day pretty often in the next few months, especially now that The Amazing Spider-man has hit cinemas. However after I saw the pic above on the film’s Facebook page, I couldn’t help but proclaim my love here. I suggest printing the pic out and pasting you own face over that of Emma Stone, who plays Gwen Stacy in the movie. Enjoy the pic and a few more from the movie below. [Read more…]

The Amazing Spider-man Four-Minute ‘Super Preview’

By Leave a Comment


While there were many groans when it was announced they were rebooting Spider-man so soon after Sam Raimi’s take on the character, the more we’ve seen, the cooler it’s looked, with Marc Webb’s film reinserting the wisecracking humour of the character, as well as having a rather cool look, which is partway between comic book and reality. Now a rather exciting four-minute preview has shown up, which gives us a great look at the movie.

Here’s the latest synopsis: ‘The Amazing Spider-Man is the story of Peter Parker (Andrew Garfield), an outcast high schooler who was abandoned by his parents as a boy, leaving him to be raised by his Uncle Ben (Martin Sheen) and Aunt May (Sally Field). Like most teenagers, Peter is trying to figure out who he is and how he got to be the person he is today. Peter is also finding his way with his first high school crush, Gwen Stacy (Emma Stone), and together, they struggle with love, commitment, and secrets. As Peter discovers a mysterious briefcase that belonged to his father, he begins a quest to understand his parents’ disappearance – leading him directly to Oscorp and the lab of Dr. Curt Connors (Rhys Ifans), his father’s former partner. As Spider-Man is set on a collision course with Connors’ alter-ego, The Lizard, Peter will make life-altering choices to use his powers and shape his destiny to become a hero.’ The film’s out July 4th.
