The Predator Trailer – The alien hunter is back & just as deadly

September 5, 2018 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

There have been a couple of attempts to reinvigorate the Predator franchise, whether it’s been getting them to battle Aliens or taking us to their planet in Robert Rodriguez’s Predators. Fox finally seemed to have given up on it, until Iron Man 3’s Shane Black rocked up with a new idea and suddenly, The Predator was in the works.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘From the outer reaches of space to the small-town streets of suburbia, the hunt comes home in Shane Black’s explosive reinvention of the Predator series. Now, the universe’s most lethal hunters are stronger, smarter and deadlier than ever before, having genetically upgraded themselves with DNA from other species. When a young boy accidentally triggers their return to Earth, only a ragtag crew of ex-soldiers and a disgruntled science teacher can prevent the end of the human race.’

Black wrote the script and also directs, with Boyd Holbrook, Trevante Rhodes, Jacob Tremblay, Keegan-Michael Key, Olivia Munn, Sterling K. Brown, Alfie Allen, Thomas Jane, Augusto Aguilera, Jake Busey, and Yvonne Strahovski starring. The film will be in cinemas on September 12th. Take a look at the lastest trailer below. [Read more…]

The Predator Teaser Trailer – The alien hunter is back

Wonder (Blu-ray Review) – Important life lessons for young and old

March 24, 2018 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Starring: Jacob Tremblay, Julia Roberts, Owen Wilson, Izabela Vidovic, Mandy Patinkin
Director: Stephen Chbosky
Running Time: 113 mins
Certificate: PG
Release Date: March 16th 2018 (UK)

God bless young Jacob Tremblay. The Room and Book Of Henry star is impossibly cute, something that comes through even under the large amounts of makeup he has to wear for Wonder. Although it might seem a little creepy to be talking about a young boy’s cuteness, in this case it’s vital to the film, as Tremblay’s talents are so central to the movie. The makeup is potentially a real barrier for an actor though, and a tough one for somebody so young to overcome. Jacob does it though with aplomb.

Tremblay plays August ‘Auggie’ Pullman, who was born with Treacher Collins Syndrome, which has left him with significant facial deformities. He’s been home-schooled by his mother (Julia Roberts), but will be going to mainstream school for the first time when he joins the fifth grade. Auggie is a shy and sensitive child, very aware of how others treat him because he looks different. [Read more…]

Wonder Trailer – Julia Roberts and Jacob Tremblay star in the heartwarming drama

May 24, 2017 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

With a trailer that’s already made some people cry (especially those who remember Mask) and a December release date set, it looks like Wonder may be hoping for some award love early next year. Now we get our first look at the movie with a trailer and poster.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘We’re thrilled to be sharing with you the emotional first trailer and new poster for WONDER, a new film from Lionsgate which is based on the New York Times bestseller by R. J. Palacio about a boy born to standout.

WONDER tells the incredibly inspiring and moving story of August Pullman, a boy with facial differences who enters fifth grade, attending a mainstream elementary school for the first time. Starring Room’s Jacob Tremblay, as August Pullman, alongside Julia Roberts, Owen Wilson, Mandy Patinkin and Daveed Diggs, the film comes to UK cinemas in December 2017.

Take a look at the trailer below. [Read more…]

The Book Of Henry Trailer – Colin Trevorrow moves from dinosaurs to drama/thriller territory

March 31, 2017 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Colin Trevorrow had a monster hit with Jurassic World, but rather than staying in the world of dinosaurs or immediately making another mega-budget movie, he decided to helm The Book Of Henry. Not the trailer has arrived, which starts off suggesting this will be a quirky family drama, before veering into surprisingly dark thriller territory.

The Henry of the title is an 11-year-old boy, living with his mother (Naomi Watts) and brother. He realises the girl living next door, Christina, may be in danger from her stepfather, and so starts writing a book about how he’s going to rescue her. Eventually his mother gets involved, but they know it will be difficult to do anything, as Christina’s stepdad is the police commissioner.

Jacob Tremblay, Sarah Silverman and Lee Pace also star. Take a look at the trailer below. The Book of Henry will be in cinemas this summer. [Read more…]

Alfie Allen & Yvonne Strahovski Join Shane Black’s The Predator

February 23, 2017 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

There are still plenty of people sceptical that yet another attempt to reboot the Predator franchise will work. However, this time there is hope, as Shane Black (Iron Man 3, The Nice Guys) is writing and directing the film.

Boyd Holbrook, Jacob Tremblay, Olivia Munn, Trevante Rhodes, Keegan-Michael Key, Sterling K. Brown and Thomas Jane are already set to star. They’ve now been joined by Chuck and Dexter’s Yvonne Strahovski, as well as Game Of Thrones’ Alfie Allen.

Not a vast amount is known about the plot, although Holbrook will be the main character, with Strahovski as his ex-wife. They come into conflict again when their son (Tremblay) is drawn into the battle between Holbrook and an alien creature. It’s now clear who Allen will be.

Shooting has just started in Vancouver, with a February 2018 release date set.

Jacob Tremblay Joins Shane Black’s Predator Reboot

January 25, 2017 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

If you’re going to make a Predator movie, you wouldn’t think cute kids would be top of the casting list. But hey, it worked with Newt in Aliens, and now Robert Rodgriguez’s The Predator is getting a child star, as Jacob Tremblay has signed on to the movie, according to THR.

The breakout Room actor joins the likes of Boyd Holbrook, Olivia Munn, Trevante Rhodes, Keegan-Michael Key, Sterling K. Brown and Thomas Jane in the film. Tremblay will play, ‘the son of Holbrook’s character, an ex-Marine who discovers the existence of fierce aliens but finds that no one believes they exist’.

Shane Black (Iron Man 3, The Nice Guys) is writing and directing the film. The Predator is due to start filming in Vancouver in February.

September 1, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

shut-in-slideJacob Tremblay won a lot of fans with his cuteness overload around awards season and his excellent performance in Room. However, he’s offering something a little different with Shut In, where he shows he isn’t just cute, he can also be pretty creepy.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘SHUT IN is a heart-pounding thriller starring Naomi Watts as a widowed child psychologist who lives an isolated existence in rural New England. Caught in a deadly winter storm, she must find a way to rescue a young boy (Tremblay) before he disappears forever.’

A trailer for the movie has now arrived. Shut In opens on November 11th in the U.S. No UK date is currently set. [Read more…]

Room (DVD Review)

May 16, 2016 By Mike Martin Leave a Comment

Starring: Brie Larson, Jacob Tremblay, Joan Allen, William H. Macy, Sean Bridgers
Director: Lenny Abrahamson
Running Time: 118 mins
Certificate: 15
Release Date: May 16th 2016 (UK)

The Best Actress category in this year’s Oscars was very strong. Cate Blanchett, Jennifer Lawrence, Charlotte Rampling and Saoirse Ronan all gave powerful, committed performances that were finely-tuned, expressive and thoughtful. All of them however were overshadowed by one towering performance, from Brie Larson in Room. She was the favourite, and probably won it by a country mile. Put simply it’s a performance that you won’t see the like of in a very, very long time.

The room in question is the tiny space where Larson’s Ma is being held captive and raped nightly by Old Nick (a 17th century term for the Devil). The only light is from a skylight, the room itself is a squalid collection of cheap furniture and utilities, just enough to keep her alive – a sink, a bed. Her only companion is her young son Jack (Tremblay), who it transpires was born in this space, and therefore knows nothing else. The only thing that keeps Ma going is her young boy, but obviously their relationship is strained and difficult. [Read more…]
