Taylor Swift, Jennifer Hudson, James Corden & Ian McKellen In Talks For Cats

July 22, 2018 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

For a very long time there’s been talk about turning Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Cats into a movie. For various reasons – not least that despite its massive stage success it’s a very odd show, with very little plot and a far greater reliance on dance than mainstream cinema is often comfortable with. However, now it’s moving forward thanks to Tom Hooper (Les Miserables, The King’s Speech) coming on board to direct.

Now it’s starting to fill out the cast, with Taylor Swift, Jennifer Hudson, James Corden, and Ian McKellen all set to star, according to THR. They will all be members of the ‘jellicles’ a group of cats preparing for a ball where they will decide which of them will be given a new life. Hudson will play Grizabella (singer of the show’s most famous song, Memory), McKellan will be Old Deuteronomy, while Swift is likely to play the flirtatious Bombalurina. It’s not clear who Corden will be.

The current plan is for Hooper to shoot the live-action movie (rather than an animated film that often seemed to be Hollywood’s preferred option for Cats) in the UK later this year, with a script by Lee Hall (Billy Elliot). It should be in cinemas next year.

New Peter Rabbit Trailer – Beatrix Potter’s classic character gets the CGI treatment

November 7, 2017 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Beatrix Potter’s tales have charmed people around the world for decades – but you have to wonder what she would think of this new take on her classic character Peter Rabbit. The new movie mixes live action and CGI, with a modern approach for the mischievous bunny, who here has the voice of James Corden.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Peter Rabbit, the mischievous and adventurous hero who has captivated generations of readers, now takes on the starring role of his own irreverent, contemporary comedy with attitude. In the film, Peter’s feud with Mr. McGregor (Domhnall Gleeson) escalates to greater heights than ever before as they rival for the affections of the warm-hearted animal lover who lives next door (Rose Byrne).  James Corden voices the character of Peter with playful spirit and wild charm, with Margot Robbie, Elizabeth Debicki, and Daisy Ridley performing the voice roles of the triplets, Flopsy, Mopsy, and Cottontail.’

The movie will hit cinemas Easter 2018. Take a look at the trailer below. [Read more…]

Trolls Trailer – Anna Kendrick & Justin Timberlake help the 70s fad get animated

June 29, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Trolls-Teaser-QuadIn the old days it was just book and TV shows that had a shot of being turned into movies, but now Hollywood has realised the pretty much anything is fair game, as long as it’s something that was popular at some point. Trolls, though, is an odd one, as there are plenty of kids around now whose parents are too young to remember the fuzzy haired figures’ heyday in the 70s. Admittedly though back then they were so popular that no youngster could expect to be seen as cool without a Troll pencil topper.

However, Dreamworks Animation isn’t letting the fact they were most popular 40-years-ago to stand in their way, and have now released a full trailer for their Trolls movie.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘DreamWorks’ TROLLS is a hair-raising comedy filled with unbelievable adventure and incredible music.  Known for their crazy, colourful, and magical hair, Trolls are the happiest, most joyous creatures ever to burst into song. But their world of rainbows and cupcakes is changed forever, when their leader Poppy (Anna Kendrick,) must embark on a rescue mission that takes her far beyond the only world she’s ever known.’

The voice cast also features Justin Timberlake, James Corden, Kunal Nayyar, Gwen Stefani, Russell Brand, and Ron Founts. It’ll be in UK cinemas in October. [Read more…]

Into The Woods (Cinema Review)

January 8, 2015 By Mike Martin Leave a Comment

Starring: Meryl Streep, Anna Kendrick, Emily Blunt, James Corden, Johnny Depp
Director: Rob Marshall
Running Time: 124 mins
Certificate: PG
Release Date: January 9th 2015

Ah, Stephen Sondheim, writer of amazing tongue-twisting lyrics, flat tunes and dark themes. That’s been his formula for many a year – the flat tunes aren’t deliberate presumably – and they are all present and correct in this film version of his adult take on fairy tales. Adult is certainly the word here, the underlying theme being human beings’ reluctance to grow up and face the real world, and the terrifying prospect of sex, while superficially there are blindings, stabbings, a prince whose eye wanders, an absent father, and plenty of death.

Throw in a top-notch cast – and James Corden – and you get a polished, great-looking and sounding, entertaining fable. The story itself peaks a little early and there are longeurs in the story of the giant, but overall it’s a successful adaptation of Sondheim’s stage musical. [Read more…]

Great New Into The Woods Character Posters & Trailer Arrive

November 6, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

into-the-woods-character-poster10-slideDisney is hoping we’ll all be in the mood for a musical just after Christmas when they release Into The Woods, but as they know most people don’t know the tunes, they’re busy selling it on the great cast, beautiful visuals and fairytale-based storyline.

To get us excited a set of 10 characters posters have now been released along with a new poster. You can take a look at them below.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘“Into the Woods” is a modern twist on several of the beloved Brothers Grimm fairy tales, intertwining the plots of a few choice stories and exploring the consequences of the characters’ wishes and quests. This humorous and heartfelt musical follows the classic tales of Cinderella (Anna Kendrick), Little Red Riding Hood (Lilla Crawford), Jack and the Beanstalk (Daniel Huttlestone), and Rapunzel (MacKenzie Mauzy), all tied together by an original story involving a Baker and his Wife (James Corden and Emily Blunt), their wish to begin a family and their interaction with the Witch (Meryl Streep), who has put a curse on them.

‘Rob Marshall, the acclaimed filmmaker behind the Academy Award®-winning musical “Chicago” and Disney’s “Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides,” directs the film, which is based on the Tony®-winning original musical by James Lapine, who also penned the screenplay, and legendary composer Stephen Sondheim, who provides the music and lyrics. Produced by John DeLuca, Marshall, “Wicked” producer Marc Platt and Callum McDougall, “Into the Woods” will be released in UK cinemas January 9, 2015.’ [Read more…]

Anna Kendrick in Into The Woods

Anna Kendrick in Into The Woods

While the Into The Woods trailer we got a few weeks ago was pretty cool, it did have one major element missing – singing. In fact if you didn’t know anything about the movie you wouldn’t have even known it was a musical.

However now we get our first chance to hear the cast sing in a new featurette about the film’s story, which includes Anna Kendrick, James Corden, Emily Blunt, and Meryl Streep singing I Wish and Streep adding a bit of Stay With Me too.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Into the Woods is a modern twist on the beloved Brothers Grimm fairy tales, intertwining the plots of a few choice stories and exploring the consequences of the characters’ wishes and quests. This humorous and heartfelt musical follows the classic tales of Cinderella (Anna Kendrick), Little Red Riding Hood (Lilla Crawford), Jack and the Beanstalk (Daniel Huttlestone), and Rapunzel (MacKenzie Mauzy)—all tied together by an original story involving a baker and his wife (James Corden & Emily Blunt), their wish to begin a family and their interaction with the witch (Meryl Streep) who has put a curse on them.
