Tusk Trailer – Justin Long & Haley Joel Osment star in Kevin Smith’s strange movie

July 26, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Ever since it was announced, Tusk sounded like a strange film, and the trailer does nothing to disabuse us of that idea.

Indeed it’s perhaps even stranger than we might have thought it would be – Michael Parks’ old soldier doesn’t want to die alone, even if that means holding someone hostage and trying to turn him into a walrus!

With Long tied to a chair by a madman, it’s up to his friends to find him. Genesis Rodriguez, Haley Joel Osment and Ralph Garman co-star.

Take a look at the trailer below and decide for yourself whether this is so bonkers it might be inspired, or whether it’s just completely nuts. [Read more…]

Kevin Smith Takes Us Behind-The-Scenes Of Tusk With Haley Joel Osment & Genesis Rodriguez

November 15, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Kevin Smith was only supposed to be making one more movie as a director – Clerks III – but while he’s waiting for the funding to get sorted out, he’s making the horror movie Tusk. Now he’s tweeted the first behind the scenes pic from the movie, showing Smith alongside stars Haley Joel Osment and Genesis Rodriguez.

Smith has previously said of the film, “It’s about a guy who turns another guy into a f**ing human walrus. As weird as it is in my head when I talk about it, they finally sent me the costume designs by Robert Kurtzman, and I was like, ‘Holy s**t, it’s a monster movie, I had no idea.’ I thought I was making a kind of sister thriller to Red State. As soon as I saw the designs, I go, ‘Of course this is a monster movie and he’s Dr. Frankenstein.”

Justin Long will be the human walrus, with Osment as his long lost friend Teddy, who teams up with his girlfriend (Genesis Rodriguez) to try to find him. Michael Parks also stars.

It’ll be out next year.

New Hours Trailer – Paul Walker races against time during Hurricane Katrina

October 25, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Paul Walker has never had a huge amount of success rushing around in the Fast & Furious franchise, but he’ll be hoping for more from Hours, as while there’s plenty more racing about, this time the plot is more dramatic.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Before sunrise on August 29, 2005 Nolan (PAUL WALKER) arrives at a New Orleans hospital with his pregnant wife Abigail (GENESIS RODRIGUEZ) who has gone into early labor. What should be one of the happiest days of Nolan’s life quickly spirals out of control when the birth goes tragically wrong and Hurricane Katrina ravages the hospital, forcing an evacuation. Told to stay with his child, who is on a ventilator, Nolan and his newborn are soon cut off from the world by power outages and rising flood waters. When no one returns to help, Nolan faces one life-and-death decision after another, fighting to keep his daughter alive, as minute by agonizing minute passes, becoming unimaginable “Hours.”’

The movie is due out in the US in December. [Read more…]

Full Casa de mi Padre Trailer Hits

January 16, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Will Ferrell deciding to make a Spanish-language movie always sounded like a strange proposition and that opinion is unlikely to be changed by the trailer for Casa De Mi Padre. The film, made in the overblown, melodramatic style of Latin American telenovelas, see Ferrell as Armando Alvarez, who has lived and worked on his father’s ranch in Mexico his entire life. As the ranch encounters financial difficulties, Armando’s younger brother Raul (Diego Luna) shows up with his new fiancé, Sonia (Genesis Rodriguez). It seems that Raul’s success as an international businessman means the ranch’s troubles are over, as he pledges to settle all debts his father has incurred. But when Armando falls for Sonia, and Raul’s business dealings turn out to be less than legit, all hell breaks loose as they find themselves in a war with Mexico’s most feared drug lord, the mighty Onza (Gael Garcia Bernal). The film should hit cinemas later this year.
