Captain America: Civil War Super Bowl Spot – New footage emerges from Avengers 2.5

February 8, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

captain-america-civil-war-poster1-slidePretty much everyone from Avengers is showing up in Captain America: Civil War, except for Thor and Hulk (but that’s because they’re teaming up for their own adventure). As a result, Marvel is hoping the film is going to be huge and so it’s no suprise they felt the need for a Super Bowl spot, which you can take a look at below.

Synopsis: ‘Marvel’s “Captain America: Civil War” picks up where “Avengers: Age of Ultron” left off, as Steve Rogers leads the new team of Avengers in their continued efforts to safeguard humanity. After another international incident involving the Avengers results in collateral damage, political pressure mounts to install a system of accountability and a governing body to determine when to enlist the services of the team. The new status quo fractures the Avengers while they try to protect the world from a new and nefarious villain.

‘The movie stars Chris Evans, Robert Downey Jr., Scarlett Johansson, Sebastian Stan, Anthony Mackie, Emily VanCamp, Don Cheadle, Jeremy Renner, Chadwick Boseman, Paul Bettany, Elizabeth Olsen, Paul Rudd, Frank Grillo, Tom Holland, with William Hurt and Daniel Brühl. Marvel’s “Captain America: Civil War” is directed by Anthony & Joe Russo and produced by Kevin Feige. Louis D’Esposito, Alan Fine, Victoria Alonso, Patricia Whitcher, Nate Moore and Stan Lee serve as executive producers and the screenplay is by Christopher Markus & Stephen McFeely.’

Captain America: Civil War Trailer – Chris Evans & Robert Downey Jr. are no longer friends

November 25, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

captain-america-civil-war-poster1-slideIt may have Captain America in the name, but Civil War is almost as much of an Avengers movie as Age Of Ultron. Only Thor and Hulk are missing – but they will both be in Thor: Ragnarok, so they haven’t been forgotten completely.

Now three posters and a first trailer for Captain America: Civil War are here.

Crush Of The Day: Captain America Star Frank Grillo’s Nude Modelling Past Resurfaces

October 1, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

frank-grillo-slideIt seems nude photoshoots that actors did before they found fame are de rigeur at the moment, as only a couple of weeks after pre-fame naked shots of Taylor Kitsch surfaced, images of Frank Grillo in the buff have emerged.

In the last few years Grillo has found success in the likes of Captain America: Winter Soldier (as Crossbones), Warrior, The Grey, End Of Watch, The Kingdom and The Purge: Anarchy, but it appears in his earlier days he wasn’t averse to a bit of full frontal male-modelling.

You can take a look at a few of the images below, but if you’d like to see them uncensored you’ll have to head here (sorry, we’re too prudish to publish them ourselves). We have to say, he’s looking good both now and then. [Read more…]

Taylor Kitsch May Take The Lead In The Raid Remake

August 5, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

taylor-kitsch-shirtless-john_carterHollywood’s so far unsuccessful attempts to turn Taylor Kitsch into a bona fide A-list star (and they really have been trying) continues with the news, via The Wrap, that he’s been offered the lead in the English-language remake of The Raid.

Some would say we already got that – but with a sci-fi twist – with Dredd, but Screen Gems hopes to start shooting its take on the 2011 Indonesian hit movie next January.

However Kitsch being part of the movie is far from a done deal. While it appears the actor and the studio are in talks, rumours suggest they’re far apart in terms of the money being aked. There’s also the fact Kitsch is in talks for the second season of True Detective. Although he may be able to do both, they’d have sort out the scheduling carefully, as True Detective is due to wrap around the same time The Raid remake starts.

Frank Grillo is also likely to star, with Patrick Hughes (The Expendables 3) directing from a screenplay by Brad Ingelsby (Out of the Furnace).

The original The Raid featured a team of policemen who become trapped in an apartment building that is the heavily secured stronghold of a drug lord who is determined that none of them will make it out alive. It was more the fighting and action than the plot that impressed people though. The remake is said to be set in the world of DEA fast teams, and will feature a clash between different fighting styles.

Frank Grillo Will Play The Lead In The Purge 2

December 12, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

frank-grilloThe Purge earned over $90 million worldwide from just a $3 million budget and has since found further success on DVD. Unsurprisingly it’s meant Universal Pictures wants a sequel and they want it fast, as they’ve set a June 20th, 2014 release date for The Purge 2.

That means it need to go into production pretty soon, but first they need a cast. Now it’s started to come together as Deadline has revealed that Frank Grillo has signed on to star.

No specific plot details have been revealed, and it isn’t known how this sequel will follow The Purge. The first film is set in the not-so-distant future. Crime has been nearly eradicated except for one night out of the year, known as The Purge, when for a 12-hour period any and all crime is legal, including murder. Presumably The Purge 2 will follow what happens during that time, although it’s not known if it’ll directly relate to the first movie or if it will follow a completely different set of characters dealing with the terror.

The Purge’s James DeMonaco is writing and directing the sequel, with Jason Blum, Sebastian LeMercier, Michael Bay, Bradley Fuller and Andrew Form producing.

End Of Watch (Blu-ray)

March 19, 2013 By Tim Isaac 1 Comment

Starring: Jake Gyllenhaal, Michael Pena, Anna Kendrick, Frank Grillo, America Ferrera
Director: David Ayer
Running Time: 109 mins
Certificate: 15
Release Date: March 18th 2013

David Ayer has made a career writing and/or directing movies about gangs and the police, such as Training Day, S.W.A.T, Street Kings, Harsh Times and now End Of Watch. The movie is an attempt to bring a bit of mockumentary-style realism to the cop flick, although as viewers will soon realise, it’s actually a mix of mockumentary and extreme shaky cam (either that or Jake Gyllenhaal’s character doesn’t mind getting a friend to videotape him having sex with Anna Kendrick).

Maria Bello & Frank Grillo Head For James Wan’s House Of Horror

January 24, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Maria-BelloA couple of day ago it was revealed that Maria Bello had decided to leave the Kiefer Sutherland TV series Touch partway through the second season. Now she’s got something new to fill her time, as Variety reports that she and The Grey star Frank Grill have signed up for a James Wan produced thriller, which until recently was going by the title, House Of Horror.

Now it’s lacking a nam, but the plot is the same, which sees Bello as a psychologist and Grillo as a policeman, who team up to interrogate the sole survivor of a ghost-hunting expedition that ended with five people dead. Essentially it’s a police procedural mixed up with a supernatural thriller, and now with Bello and Grillo attached, it’s certainly got some talented actors involved.

Will Canon, helmer of the 2010 crime-thriller Brotherhood, is set to direct from a script by Max La Bella.

Frank Grillo Confirmed As Crossbones In Captain America 2

October 30, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

A couple of weeks ago, rumours surface that The Grey and Warrior actor Frank Grillo was in the running for a role in Captain America 2, with speculation that he would play villain Crossbones. Now Variety has confirmed the news, and while many wondered if Crossbones would be the henchman to someone else, it appear he’s the key main villain in the movie.

The character started out in Marvel comics in 1989 as Brock Rumlow, the leader of the Savage Crims gang in New York. He later went on to serve as a henchman of Red Skull under the code name Crossbones (hence why some wondered whether he’d be the main bad guy in the film or not).

The actor joins Chris Evans and Samuel L. Jackson, who return as Steve Rogers and Nick Fury, along with Anthony Mackie as Falcon. Anthony Russo and Joe Russo are directing from a screenplay by Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely. Production will start next spring.

The Grey

January 27, 2012 By Tim Isaac 1 Comment

Starring: Dermot Mulroney, Frank Grillo, Liam Neeson
Director: Joe Carnahan
Running Time: 117 mins
Certificate: 15
Release Date: January 27th, 2012

The first trailer for The Grey made it seem like someone had gotten over-excited about The Tree Of Life. It suggested the film was going to be some sort of weird, ethereal, existentialist drama. Thankfully though, that’s not what it is at all (well, it is a bit, but not too much).

Liam Neeson plays a guy whose job is to sort out the predators that occasionally menace the workers at a remote gas refinery operation in Alaska. On a plane ride with a number of other motley oil workers, things take a rather drastic turn when they fall out of the sky. Normally a plane crash would be the worst part of your day, but the men are now in the middle of nowhere and in the territory of a particularly vicious pack of wolves. [Read more…]

The Grey Trailer – Liam Neeson vs. Wolves!

November 21, 2011 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment


It’ll be interesting to see what sort of film The Grey is, as from this trailer it looks part action film, part introspective drama and part rather pretrntious art movie. I just pray that whatever it is, the score isn’t as overbearing as it is in this trailer. The movie sees Liam Neeson as part of an Alaska oil drilling team who struggle to survive after a plane crash strands them in the wild. Hunting the humans are a pack of wolves who see them as intruders. No UK release date is currently set.
