Miles Teller, Michael B. Jordan, Kate Mara and Jamie Bell Get New Fantastic Four Pics

By Leave a Comment

fantastic-four-empire-pic3We’ve had a teaser for Fantastic Four, but we still haven’t seen an awful lot from Josh Trank’s reboot on the Marvel superheroes. Now though Empire has debuted four new pics, one four each of the main characters, featuring Miles Teller as Mr. Fantastic, Kate Mara as the Invisible Woman, Michael B. Jordan as The Human Torch and Jamie Bell before he gets rocky as The Thing.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘FANTASTIC FOUR, a contemporary re-imagining of Marvel’s original and longest-running superhero team, centers on four young outsiders who teleport to an alternate and dangerous universe, which alters their physical form in shocking ways. Their lives irrevocably upended, the team must learn to harness their new abilities and work together to save Earth from a former friend turned enemy.’

The film is due out in August, but you can take a look at the new pics above and below. [Read more…]

Fantastic Four Trailer – First look Miles Teller, Michael B. Jordan, Kate Mara and Jamie Bell in the superhero reboot

By Leave a Comment

fantastic-four-teaser-posterThe lack of a trailer or other marketing for Fox’s reboot of Fantastic Four has resulted in a lot of rumours, from reports that the movie is a disaster that needs massive reshoots to issues with the special effects meaning there was no footage to show.

However now the first trailer is here, and it seems very keen to show that this film will have a very different feel to the ones starring Jessica Alba and Chris Evans. It’s certainly darker and bigger in scale, even if the promo is still keen to keep a bit of mystery around exactly what the characters will look like in their hero guise.

New Snowpiercer Red-Band Trailer – Chris Evans is looking dirty amongst an incredible cast

By Leave a Comment


Snowpiercer has had a few problems. Despite great reviews from film festivals, it became stuck in a battle between director Bong Joon-ho and The Weinstein Company over whether a recut version should be released commercially in the US and potentially other countries as well. The Weinsteins wanted to recut it, but Bong wants his version released.

It’s been stuck in limbo for English-speaking countries for over a year now, but eventually the Weinsteins relented and so the director’s original cut will hit US cinemas on June 27th (although annoyingly there’s still no UK date).

Ahead of that comes a new, rather cool, red-band trailer, which gives us a good feel for the movie.

The film is set on a ravaged Earth where the few human survivors are on a train (which gives the film its name) that travels around the globe. However a revolution is brewing amongst the passengers. The film has a great cast, following Curtis (Chris Evans), Mason (Tilda Swinton), Gilliam (John Hurt), Wilford (Ed Harris), Namgoong Minsu (Kang-ho Song), Edgar (Jamie Bell), Tanya (Octavia Spencer), Andrew (Ewen Bremner) and Yona (Ah-sung Ko) as they ride the train.

Nymphomaniac – Volumes 1&2 (DVD)

By Leave a Comment

This is the Gone With The Wind of movies with ‘real’ sex in them, at least in terms of the fact that Nymphomaniac has roughly the same running time.

As you may have guessed though, in most ways they’re very different movies – in Gone With The Wind Scarlett O’Hara vows never to hungry again, while in Nymphomaniac Joe (Charlotte Gainsbourg) vows never to go without sex again. [Read more…]

Fantastic Four Cast Finally Revealed Including Miles Teller & Jamie Bell

The casting rumours for the reboot of Fantastic Four have been going on for months, but now it seems things are coming to an end, as Variety reports that Miles Teller, Michael B. Jordan, Kate Mara and Jamie Bell are closing deals to star.

Assuming they all sign on the dotted line, Miles Teller will be Reed Richards (Mr. Fantastic), Kate Mara is Sue Storm (The Invisible Woman), Michael B. Jordan is taking on Johnny Storm (The Human Torch) and Jamie Bell will tackle the role of Ben Grimm (The Thing).

There may be some issues sorting deals out though. For example Miles Teller is also signed up for the sci-fi sequel Insurgent, which is currently set to shoot at the same time as the superhero reboot. They may be able to sort out the scheduling, but if not Teller may have to be recast.

Josh Trank’s is directing with plans to start filming in Baton Rouge, Louisiana next month.

New Nymphomaniac: Volume 1 Trailer – Is there more to Lars Von Trier’s movie than sex?

By Leave a Comment


After a lot of buzz and interest, it’s not too long now until audiences will get to take a look at Lars Von Trier’s Nymphomaniac, with the release of Part 1 of the two part film. While most people have concentrated on the success, the largely positive reviews have suggested there’s more to the movie than that, and this trailer gives us a feel for that, as it certainly doesn’t bother with any of the hardcore shots the movie contains.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘The film is a wild and poetic story of a woman’s erotic journey from birth to the age of 50 as told by the main character, the self-diagnosed nymphomaniac, Joe (Charlotte Gainsbourg). On a cold winter’s evening the old, charming bachelor, Seligman (Stellan Skarsgard), finds Joe beaten up in an alley. He brings her home to his flat where he cares for her wounds while asking her about her life. He listens intently as Joe over the next 8 chapters recounts the lushly branched-out and multi-faceted story of her life, rich in associations and interjecting incidents.’

Shia LaBeouf, Jamie Bell, Christian Slater, Willem Dafoe, Uma Thurman, Connie Neilsen and Stacy Martin also star. It should arrive in the UK in March. [Read more…]

Filth (Blu-ray)

Here’s my theory about Filth – it’s a gay movie that doesn’t look like one. Indeed on a cursory glance you’d be more likely to view it as a homophobic and potentially transphobic film. However deeper down there’s more LGBT interest than it might first appear.

James McAvoy plays Edinburgh policeman Bruce Robertson, a real shit of a man who’s racist, homophobic, takes drugs, drinks too much, has sex with any woman who will have him and thinks nothing of destroying other people. He makes lewd, anonymous phone call to his friend Bladesey’s wife, while being a bit of a playground bully to the man himself – despite the fact they are supposedly best friends. [Read more…]

Snowpiercer Japanese Trailer – Take a fresh look at Bong Joon-ho’s Chris Evans starring sci-fi

By Leave a Comment


Snowpiercer is having a few problems. Despite great reviews from film festivals, it’s currently stuck in a battle between Bong Joon-ho and The Weinstein Company, over whether a recut version should be released in the US and potentially other countries as well. The Weinsteins want to recut it, but Bong wants his version released.

As a result it’s slightly stuck in limbo, so while it originally looked like it would be out next summer, there’s still no official US or UK release date set.

However now a new Japanese trailer has arrived to give us a fresh feel for the movie.

Snowpiercer is set on a ravaged Earth where the few human survivors are a train (which gives the film its name) that travels around the globe. However a revolution is brewing amongst the passengers inside. The film has a great cast, following Curtis (Chris Evans), Mason (Tilda Swinton), Gilliam (John Hurt), Wilford (Ed Harris), Namgoong Minsu (Kang-ho Song), Edgar (Jamie Bell), Tanya (Octavia Spencer), Andrew (Ewen Bremner) and Yona (Ah-sung Ko) as they ride the train.

Nymphomaniac Trailer – Take a NSFW look at Shia LaBeouf, Jamie Bell & more in Lars Von Trier’s next

By Leave a Comment

nymphomaniac-poster2
For the first time in his career, Lars Von Trier has given up final cut for Nymphomaniac, largely because the version he’s happy with is 5 1/2 hours long, and even he realised that was never going to be commercially released. The last we heard there was talk of cutting it down to two 2-hour films, which is how it’ll apparently be coming (although there’s still a chance VOn Trier’s butt-numbing version will appear one day at festivals, apparently).

They’ve also dropped plans for hardcore and softcore versions, as there will now just be a the one with full-on sex, but distributors around the globe will be free to blur out whatever bits they reckon are two rude. We get a taste of that rudeness in the trailer.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘The film is a wild and poetic story of a woman’s erotic journey from birth to the age of 50 as told by the main character, the self-diagnosed nymphomaniac, Joe (Charlotte Gainsbourg). On a cold winter’s evening the old, charming bachelor, Seligman (Stellan Skarsgard), finds Joe beaten up in an alley. He brings her home to his flat where he cares for her wounds while asking her about her life. He listens intently as Joe over the next 8 chapters recounts the lushly branched-out and multi-faceted story of her life, rich in associations and interjecting incidents.’

Shia LaBeouf, Jamie Bell, Christian Slater, Willem Dafoe, Uma Thurman, Connie Neilsen and Stacy Martin also star. It should arrive in the UK next March.

Take a look at the new poster above and the rude trailer, but beware as it is indeed NSFW. [Read more…]

Shia LaBeouf, Jamie Bell & More Show Off Their Sex Faces In Nymphomanic Character Posters

By Leave a Comment

nymphomaniac-character-poster1-slide
The few clips we’ve had from Lars Von Trier’s Nymphomaniac have been fairly tame for a movie that’s said to be filled with sex, which will result in the director needing to edit both hardcore and softcore versions for different parts of the world.

Now things are getting a little sexier with 14 characters posters showing off the cast, and they all seem to be having a great time!

We’re still waiting to see how the sex works in the movie, as while Von Trier has said it will be real, there’s also been talk of some of the actors having their heads stitched onto body doubles digitally. So whether we will get to see the likes of Shia LaBeouf, Jamie Bell, Charlotte Gainsbourg, Willem Dafoe and Stellan Skarsgard really getting intimate on screen, we’ll have to wait and see.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘The film is a wild and poetic story of a woman’s erotic journey from birth to the age of 50 as told by the main character, the self-diagnosed nymphomaniac, Joe (Gainsbourg). On a cold winter’s evening the old, charming bachelor, Seligman (Skarsgard), finds Joe beaten up in an alley. He brings her home to his flat where he cares for her wounds while asking her about her life. He listens intently as Joe over the next 8 chapters recounts the lushly branched-out and multi-faceted story of her life, rich in associations and interjecting incidents.’
