New 300: Rise Of An Empire Trailer Arrives – Sullivan Stapleton gets stylised & shirtless

January 21, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment


After several years of delays (partly to give Frank Miller time to finish his follow-up graphic novel), 300: Rise Of An Empire is heading to cinemas in March. To help get us interested once again in the world of stylised ancient Greece, a new trailer has arrived.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Based on Frank Miller’s latest graphic novel Xerxes, and told in the breathtaking visual style of the blockbuster “300,” this new chapter of the epic saga takes the action to a fresh battlefield—on the sea—as Greek general Themistokles attempts to unite all of Greece by leading the charge that will change the course of the war.

‘300: Rise of an Empire” pits Themistokles against the massive invading Persian forces led by mortal-turned-god Xerxes, and Artemisia, vengeful commander of the Persian navy.’ [Read more…]

White Bird in a Blizzard Trailer – Shailene Woodley stars in Gregg Araki’s latest

December 14, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment


Gregg Araki was at the forefront of the Queer Cinema movement on the 1990s, and indeed all his movies since then have had an LGBT tint. However things will be less overtly gay with his latest, White Bird in a Blizzard, which is due to premiere at Sundance. Ahead of that though we’ve got our first look at the movie with a trailer.

Based on Laura Kasischke’s 1999 novel, the film a young woman who loses control of her life when her mother disappears. Shailene Woodley plays the main role, with the likes of Eva Green (as the mother), Angela Bassett, Shiloh Fernandez, Christopher Meloni and Gabourey Sidibe co-starring.

The movie will screen at Sundance, but there’s no word yet on when it will be released to general audiences. [Read more…]

First Look At Eva Green In 300: Rise Of An Empire

April 29, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

300-rise-of-an-empire-pic3After years of delays, the follow-up to 300 is finally on its way, with 300: Rise Of An Empire due to hit cinemas this summer. We had the first couple of pics and a poster a few days ago, and now we get our first look at Eva Green in the movie, who’s looking pretty bad-ass as she stands on a ship, swords in hand.

The film stars Sullivan Stapleton as General Themistokles, who attempts to unite all of Greece in battle against the evil Persian ruler Xerxes (Rodrigo Santoro). Eva Green plays Artemisia, the vengeful second-in-command to god-king Xerxes (Rodrigo Santoro), who leads a Persian armada against a Greek army. The plot is said to run parallel to 300.

The film hits cinemas this August.

Eva Green & Jeffrey Dean Morgan Find The Salvation

April 23, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Eva-GreenThe cast of The Salvation has grown significantly, with the previously announced Mads Mikkelsen being joined by Eva Green, Jeffrey Dean Morgan, Mikael Persbrandt (The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug), Douglas Henshall (The Eagle), Michael Raymond-James (True Blood, Jack Reacher) and Jonathan Pryce (G.I. Joe Retaliation).

Paying tribute to the classic western with inspiration from the Nordic sagas, The Salvation takes place in 1870s America. When settler John kills his family’s murderer, he unleashes the fury of notorious gang leader Delarue. Betrayed by his corrupt and cowardly community, the peaceful pioneer must turn vengeful hunter, slay the outlaws, and cleanse the town’s black heart.

The film has just begun an 8-week shoot in Johannesburg, South Africa, with Kristian Levring (Fear Me Not) directing from a script he wrote alongside Oscar-winner Anders Thomas Jensen (In a Better World, Love Is All You Need).

Eva Green Will Play Femme Fatale In Sin City: A Dame to Kill

January 30, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Eva-GreenThe cast of Sin City : A Dame To Kill For has been growing almost daily, but one things it’s been lacking is the dame of the title. Now it’s got one as it’s been announced that co-directors Robert Rodriguez and Frank Miller have chosen Eva Green (Dark Shadows, 300: Rise of an Empire, Casino Royale) to star as the film’s deadly muse, Ava Lord.

Ava, the iconic character from Miller’s graphic novel of the same name, is described by Miller as “every man’s most glorious dreams come true, she’s also every man’s darkest nightmares.”

Robert Rodriguez and Frank Miller commented, “We’ve been wanting to tell this story for a very long time. Ava Lord is one of the most deadly and fascinating residents of Sin City. From the start, we knew that the actor would need to be able to embody the multifaceted characteristics of this femme fatale and we found that in Eva Green. We are ecstatic that Eva is joining us.”

Eva Green joining the film rounds out the huge cast that includes original cast members Mickey Rourke as “Marv,” Jessica Alba as “Nancy,” Bruce Willis as “Hartigan”, Rosario Dawson as “Gail” and Jaime King as “Goldie/Wendy” with new cast members Josh Brolin as “Dwight,” Joseph Gordon-Levitt as “Johnny,” Dennis Haysbert as “Manute,” Christopher Meloni as “Mort,” Jeremy Piven as “Bob,” Jamie Chung as “Miho,” Ray Liotta as “Joey,” Juno Temple as “Sally.”

Also joining the cast is Julia Garner, an up-and-comer whose credits include Martha Marcy May Marlene and The Perks of Being a Wallflower. She will play a young stripper opposite Joseph Gordon-Levitt’s Johnny.

Sin City: A Dame to Kill For weaves together two of Miller’s classic stories with new tales in which the town’s most hard boiled citizens cross paths with some of its more repulsive inhabitants.

Christopher Meloni Up For Gregg Araki’s White Bird In A Blizzard

November 21, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

A few months ago it was revealed that queer filmmaker Gregg Araki (Mysterious Skin, The Doom Generation) was busy putting together a new movie, White Bird, with Shailene Woodley, Eva Green and Shiloh Fernandez set to star. Now it appears the title has changed slightly to White Bird In A Blizzard, with Deadline reporting that Christopher Meloni and Gabourey Sidibe have been added to the cast.

The movie is about a young woman who loses control of her life when her mother disappears. Woodley will be playing the main part, but it’s not clear how the other actors will play into the story.

Meloni has been having some fun since leaving Law & Order: SVU, going vampiric in True Blood as well as joining the cast of superhero movie, Man Of Steel. Now he’s going a little more arty, with Araki’s movie. It’s not clear when White Bird might shoot.

300 Prequel Is No Longer Battle Of Artemisia

September 13, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Ever since the first movie hit box office gold, Warner Bros. has been working on a follow-up, which has been very slowly making its way to the screen. Now the studio has announced that the prequel is changing its name. Up until now it’s been known as 300: Battle of Artemisia, but has now been re-titled 300: Rise of an Empire.

Sullivan Stapleton (Animal Kingdom) is set to star as Themistocles, who leads a group of Spartan warriors to take on the mighty Xerxes (Rodrigo Santoro). Eva Green plays Artemisia, the goddess who persuades Xerxes to do battle with these Greek soldiers. Jamie Blackley and Eva Green also star.

Noam Murro is directing from a script by 300 writers Kurt Johnstad and Zack Snyder, with production already under way. This is not the first time this project has underwent a title change. Initially known as Xerxes, last June is became 300: Battle of Artemisia and has now changed again. 300: Rise of an Empire should hit cinemas August 2nd, 2013. (Source: BoxOfficeMojo)

Dark Shadows (Cinema)

May 11, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Starring: Eva Green, Michelle Pfeiffer, Chloe Moretz, Helena Bonham Carter, Johnny Depp
Director: Tim Burton
Running Time: 113 mins
Certificate: 12A
Release Date: May 11th, 2012

Dark Shadows has always been a somewhat problematic proposition for a film conversion, especially as it’s been brought to the screen by people who are obviously in love with the original US soap opera that ran between 1966 and 1971. The show ran for over 1,000 episodes and featured a vast array of characters and all sorts of different supernatural shenanigans. Those then needed to be distilled down to a single movie that’ll work for a generation who’ve never seen the show.

It’s a challenge that Dark Shadows only partially succeeds in, with the whole thing having the whiff of being filled things Johnny Depp and Tim Burton wanted to include, but which might have been better to have dispensed with. [Read more…]

Clone Trailer – Doctor Who gets his bum out and has one hell of an Oedipus complex

April 20, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment


Doctor Who himself, Matt Smith, makes his movie debut in Clone (an uncredited part in In Bruges doesn’t count), where he has to deal with the ultimate Oedipus complex, where he’s the clone of his mother’s dead lover! As the tagline for the US release put it – ‘What are the consequences of giving birth to your dead boyfriend?’ The answer to that is that they’re pretty f*cked up. Eva Green also stars, continuing her run of sci-fi delving into deep and dark places, which she’s also explored  in the likes of Perfect Sense and Franklyn.

However I’d imagine there’s a lot of people who’ll want to watch the trailer above, just because you get to see Matt Smith’s bum!
