Watch The First Five Minutes Of How To Train Your Dragon 2

April 22, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

After a four year wait, How To Train Your Dragon 2 is nearly here. To help remind people why we should all be looking forward to returning to the world of Hiccup and Toothless, the first five minutes of the movie have been released.

It’s slightly surprising we’ve got it so early, as the film doesn’t hit US cinemas until June 13th and will be out in the UK July 4th – although it does a good job of suggesting this is a movie that’ll be worth the 3D admission.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Set for release in June 2014, The thrilling second chapter of the epic HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON trilogy brings us back to the fantastical world of Hiccup and Toothless five years after the two have successfully united dragons and vikings on the island of Berk. While Astrid, Snoutlout and the rest of the gang are challenging each other to dragon races (the island’s new favorite contact sport), the now inseparable pair journey through the skies, charting unmapped territories and exploring new worlds.

‘When one of their adventures leads to the discovery of a secret ice cave that is home to hundreds of new wild dragons and the mysterious Dragon Rider, the two friends find themselves at the center of a battle to protect the peace. Now, Hiccup and Toothless must unite to stand up for what they believe while recognizing that only together do they have the power to change the future of both men and dragons.’ [Read more…]

Gerard Butler Will Take On Man-Made Weather In Geostorm

April 12, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Gerard Butler

Gerard Butler has a talent for signing on for movies that sound a bit fun and a bit rubbish at the same time. Now he’s got another one as Variety reports he is attached to star in the sci-fi adventure, Geostorm.

Independence Day writer/producer Dean Devlin is set to direct the movie, which is about a stubborn and charming satellite designer (Gerard Butler), who is forced to team up with his estranged brother to save the world from a man-made storm, after an array of weather satellites begin to malfunction.

They set off into space in order to save the day, and just to make things a bit more difficult/preposterous, they must also deal with an assassination plot against the US President.

Somehow we’re not expecting this to be a cinematic masterpiece, but Devlin’s years working with Roland Emmerich might have taught him how to make it fun. Geostorm is set to begin filming this autumn.

Gerard Butler Up For Patrick Swayze’s Role In Point Break Remake

January 10, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Gerard Butler

For a while now, there’s been talk of a remake of Point Break. The last we heard Ericson Core signed up to direct, and now it’s moved forward once more, with THR reporting that Gerard Butler is in talks to star in the film.

Butler would play Bodhi, the role taken by Patrick Swayze in the original. Kathryn Bigelow directed the original film, which starred Keanu Reeves as a FBI agent who has to go undercover to get to the bottom of a string of bank robberies by a gang known as the Ex-Presidents. However he finds himself being tested when he realises he likes these people.

This new version will be set in the world of extreme sports, but will maintain the same tone as the original. This time the FBI agent will be infiltrating a criminal syndicate. It’s not clear when it might shoot.

Gerard Butler in Talks for Kane & Lynch Videogame Adaptation

Gerard Butler

Gerard Butler has a bit of history in videogame movies, having appeared Lara Croft Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life, as well as the game-themed Gamer. Now he is in talks to play Kane in the long-gestating video game adaptation Kane & Lynch, according to THR.

The backers have apparently also made an offer to Vin Diesel for the Lynch role, but it isn’t known how likely he is to accept.

The movie first went into development in 2007, when Bruce Willis and Jamie Foxx were attached to play the title characters. The last we heard about it was in September 2010, when French director Patrick Alessandrin (District 13 Ultimatum) left the movie.

Skip Woods (Ten) and Kyle Ward (Machete Kills) wrote the screenplay, which is based on the Eidos Interactive title. The game follows two death row inmates who are sprung from prison to retrieve a stolen fortune.
