New Prisoners Trailer – Hugh Jackman plays a really anguished father

June 28, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment


I think it’s safe to say that things aren’t going well for Hugh Jackman’s character in Prisoners, as the film looks like it’s going to be pretty intense.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Keller Dover (Jackman) is facing every parent’s worst nightmare. His 6-year-old daughter and her young friend are missing, and as minutes turn to hours, panic sets in. The only lead is a dilapidated RV that had been parked on their street. Heading the investigation, Detective Loki (Jake Gyllenhaal) arrests its driver, but a lack of evidence forces the only suspect’s release. Knowing his child’s life is at stake, the frantic Dover decides he has no choice but to take matters into his own hands. The desperate father will do whatever it takes to find the girls, but in doing so, may lose himself, begging the question: When do you cross the line between seeking justice and becoming a vigilante?’

Maria Bello, Terrence Howard, Viola Davis, Melissa Leo and Paul Dano also star. The film is out this autumn.

Prisoners Trailer – Hugh Jackman loses his daughter, but can Jake Gyllenhaal help?

May 31, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment


You could be forgiven for thinking the only Hugh Jackman movie out this year is The Wolverine, but he’s also getting far more serious with Prisoners, and he’s got a great cast surrounding him to do it, including Maria Bello, Terrence Howard, Viola Davis, Melissa Leo, Jake Gyllenhaal, and Paul Dano. Now we’ve got out first trailer, which makes the film look like it could be pretty intense.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Keller Dover (Jackman) is facing every parent’s worst nightmare. His 6-year-old daughter and her young friend are missing, and as minutes turn to hours, panic sets in. The only lead is a dilapidated RV that had been parked on their street.

Jake Gyllenhaal & Chris Pine Could Head Into The Woods For A Musical

Jake Gyllenhaal and Chris Pine aren’t the first people you’d think of when looking for people who could sing, but it seems they both want to show off their skills, as THR reports they’re in talks for Rob Marshall’s planned movie version of Stephen Sondheim’s musical, Into The Woods.

Johnny Depp and Meryl Streep are already on board, so if Gyllenhaal and Pine sign up, it’s gonna be a pretty starry adaptation.

Into The Woods follows a baker and his wife who try to break a curse placed upon them, which prevents them from having children, by confronting the witch (Streep) who caused their trouble in the first place. Along the way, they encounter fairy tale characters such as Rapunzel, Cinderella, Little Red Riding Hood, and many more (Depp will be the big bad wolf).

Pine and Gyllenhaal are up to play the film’s pompous princes, who get a big musical number of their own. The current plan is to shoot Into The Woods this autumn.

Pine’s not only planning to go musical, as TheWrap reports he’s is talks to reunite with Smokin’ Aces director Joe Carnaham on Stretch. Patrick Wilson is already onboard as a limo driver who has the unfortunate responsibility of driving around a mysterious billionaire “who drags him to hell and back.” Pine’s role isn’t mentioned, but there’s a good chance he’ll be the billionaire.

Jake Gyllenhaal & Rene Russo To Star In Nightcrawler

Jake Gyllenhaal seems to be keen on darker dramas at the moment, with the likes of End Of Watch and the upcoming An Enemy and Prisoners. He’s keeping with that theme, as Variety reports that he and Rene Russo have both signed on to star in the new indie thriller Nightcrawler.

Dan Gilroy will make his directorial debut with the movie and also write the script. There aren’t many plot details, other than it’s about ‘a driven young man who discovers the nocturnal world of LA freelance crime journalism’. Gyllenhaal will presumably be the journalist, but it’s not clear who Russo will be.

Gilroy has previously worked as a journalist, working on the likes of The Bourne Legacy, The Fall and Two For The Money.

Tobey Maguire, Jake Gyllenhaal & Jeff Bridges Eyed For Jane Got a Gun

March 22, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

tobey-maguireThere aren’t many movies that have faced as much drama as Jane Got A Gun did this week. After several days of arguments with the producer, director Lynne Ramsay didn’t show up for the first day of the shoot. This resulted in a scramble to find a replacement, with Gavin O’Connor stepping in.

Ramsay’s departure also saw Jude Law step away, as he’d only signed up to work with her. With O’Connor fast having to catch up on the film and 150 crew sitting around in New Mexico waiting to shoot, a new actor is needed fast. Now the LA Times reports that Jake Gyllenhaal, Tobey Maguire, and Jeff Bridges are being eyed for the part (Bridges may seem rather different to the other two, but he could still work).

Natalie Portman, Joel Edgerton and Rodrigo Santoro are all still set to star in this Western, written by Brian Duffield. It’s about a wife (Portman) whose husband (Edgerton) returns home, barely alive after being shot eight times. She seeks the help of an ex-lover to defend her home when the gang of outlaws who shot her husband comes to finish what they started. It’s the head of the outlaws that’s the role currently up for grabs.

Hopefully everything will get sorted out and cameras can start rolling soon.

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).
