Batman v Superman: Dawn Of Justice Trailer – Henry Cavill & Ben Affleck don’t see eye-to-eye

By Leave a Comment

batman-v-superman-face-off-slideNext March Warner Bros./DC is making its massive bid for a superhero universe of its own with Batman v Superman: Dawn Of Justice. However while much has been teased about Henry Cavill and Ben Affleck’s Man Of Steel and Caped Crusader not being fans of one another, but the new trailer also gives us a glimpse of Wonder Woman and the fact that she may be key to getting the bat and alien to work together.

It also features Jesse Eisenberg’s Lex Luthor and shows us that we haven’t completely seen the end of Michael Shannon’s Zod.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Fearing the actions of a god-like super hero left unchecked, Gotham City’s own formidable, forceful vigilante takes on Metropolis’s most revered, modern-day savior, while the world wrestles with what sort of hero it really needs. And with Batman and Superman at war with one another, a new threat quickly arises, putting mankind in greater danger than it’s ever known before.’

Batman v Superman: Dawn Of Justice Trailer Tease – Superman unmasks the Caped Crusader

By Leave a Comment

batman-v-superman-face-off-slideIf anyone was wondering whether Batman v Superman was just a title or whether the two superheroes really would be facing off rather than simply teaming up, this teaser for Thursday’s new trailer shows they sure don’t like one another. Indeed, here Batman is all chained up, when an angry Superman arrives to unmask him, and just to add a little more strangeness, it would seem the military there are almost worshipping the Man Of Steel.

It’s all pretty intriguing and has certainly whetted out appetite for the ful trailer.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Fearing the actions of a god-like super hero left unchecked, Gotham City’s own formidable, forceful vigilante takes on Metropolis’s most revered, modern-day savior, while the world wrestles with what sort of hero it really needs. And with Batman and Superman at war with one another, a new threat quickly arises, putting mankind in greater danger than it’s ever known before.’

The movie is due in cinemas March 2016.

Henry Cavill & Luke Evans Head For Sand Castle, Joining Nicholas Hoult

By Leave a Comment

henry-cavillFor a year and a half Nicholas Hoult has been attached to the war drama Sand Castle, but it’s only now that he’s getting some co-stars, with fellow Brits Henry Cavill and Luke Evans joining him.

Based on a true story, the film chronicles the story of Chris Roessner’s two years and more than 200 missions as a machine gunner in Iraq’s Sunni Triangle. The story centres on Matt Ocre (Hoult) and the leader of his platoon, Sergeant Baker (Evans), as they attempt to protect Baqubah, a dangerous farming village.

Cavill meanwhile will be a special forces captain who is running the whole thing.

Fernando Coimbra, who has helmed several episodes of Netflix’s Narcos, is set to direct the movie, which will start shooting next month.

The Man From U.N.C.L.E. (Cinema Review)

By Leave a Comment

Turning one of the most beloved 1960s spy TV series into a movie was always going to be a gamble, but in the blokey hands of Guy Ritchie all is safe. It’s everything you’d hope for – stylish, great clothes, cool soundtrack, a decent enough plot about saving the world from a sociopath, and full of period detail.

Where it falls down is in the crucial chemistry between the leads – Armie Hammer does well as the grumpy, disapproving Soviet agent Kuryakin, but Henry Cavill as Napoleon Solo is so wooden you wonder why someone doesn’t mistake him for a park bench and sit on him. There is no chemistry at all between either of them and Alicia Vikander, whose ‘aren’t I pretty’ routine is becoming slightly wearing. [Read more…]

Henry Cavill Once ‘Had to Apologize Profusely’ After Getting A Sex Scene Boner

By Leave a Comment

henry-cavillWhen actors talk about filming sex scenes they normally say that they’re awkward and not in the least erotic, with the whole thing being a largely technical exercise. Henbry Cavill seems to agree, but it also appears that on at least one occasion, while he brain wasn’t aroused, other parts of his anatomy disagreed.

Talking to Men’s Fitness (via TheWrap) about filming an intimate scene in the TV show The Tudors, he says, “It’s only happened to me once, and it was very embarrassing. A girl had to be on top of me, she had spectacular breasts, and I hadn’t rearranged my — stuff into a harmless position. She’s basically rubbing herself all over me and, um, it got a bit hard.”

I had to apologize profusely afterward.“It’s not great when you’re in a professional acting environment and somebody gets a boner, is it? No, not acceptable.”

He was keen to add though, “You don’t think of sex scenes as showing your bum to the nation. The very last thing it is is sexy. The actual physicality is very uncomfortable. All you’re doing is smacking your nuts against someone, and nothing is going in.”

Perhaps someone needs to introduce him to that old Hollywood male nudity mainstay, the cock sock. Although I can imagine there will now be a lot of people volunteering to film sex scenes with Henry.

By Leave a Comment

UNCLE_Henry_2764x4096_INTL_master-slideThe Man From U.N.C.L.E. is still one of the big unknowns of the summer, but it’s only a few weeks until we’ll discover whether audiences are interested in Guy Ritchie’s big screen take on the classic 60s TV series.

A set of character posters have arrived, which you can see above and below.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Henry Cavill (“Man of Steel”) stars as Napoleon Solo opposite Armie Hammer (“The Social Network”) as Illya Kuryakin in director Guy Ritchie’s “The Man from U.N.C.L.E.,” a fresh take on the hugely popular 1960s television series.

‘Set against the backdrop of the early 1960s, at the height of the Cold War, “The Man from U.N.C.L.E.” centers on CIA agent Solo and KGB agent Kuryakin. Forced to put aside longstanding hostilities, the two team up on a joint mission to stop a mysterious international criminal organization, which is bent on destabilizing the fragile balance of power through the proliferation of nuclear weapons and technology. The duo’s only lead is the daughter of a vanished German scientist, who is the key to infiltrating the criminal organization, and they must race against time to find him and prevent a worldwide catastrophe.

‘“The Man from U.N.C.L.E” also stars Alicia Vikander (“Anna Karenina”), Elizabeth Debicki (“The Great Gatsby”), with Jared Harris (“Sherlock Holmes: Game of Shadows”), and Hugh Grant as Waverly.’

The film’s in cinemas August 14th. [Read more…]

Batman v Superman: Dawn Of Justice Trailer – The Caped Crusader doesn’t care how hot Henry Cavill looks

By Leave a Comment

batman-v-superman-trailer1Now here’s an interesting one. Coming a few days early due to a bootleg showing up online, the official teaser trailer for Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice has now arrived, and it shows that the ‘v’ in Batman v Superman isn’t just for show, as the Caped Crusader doesn’t seem very happy with the Man Of Steel.

Indeed, a lot of people don’t like Superman, who is seen as a Messianic saviour by some, but as a False God by a lot more. It’s certainly an interesting set-up and suggests there’s going to be plenty of social metaphor in the movie.

You can take a look at the trailer below, complete with glowing eyed Ben Affleck Batman and Henry Cavil looking hotter than any man has a right to. The film is due out March 25, 2016. [Read more…]
