Ralph Break The Internet: Wreck-It Ralph 2 Trailer – The videogame ‘baddie’ is back & headed for the net

February 28, 2018 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Before the release of Wreck-It Ralph, there were plenty of people shaking their heads and saying it was evidence that Disney animation had lost its way. However, it turned out to be the beginning of a critical and box office rennaisance that’s continued with the likes of Frozen and Moana. Its $470 million worldwide gross also means we’re getting a sequel.

Here’s the brief synopsis: ‘Video game bad guy Ralph (voice of John C. Reilly) and fellow misfit Vanellope von Schweetz (voice of Sarah Silverman) navigate the vast and dynamic world wide web in search of a replacement part to save Vanellope’s game, Sugar Rush.’

The film is currently fue out November 30th, 2018 in the UK. Take a look at the brand new trailer below. [Read more…]

Jane Lynch Picks Up Her Fourth Emmy For Gay-Themed Comedy Dropping the Soap

September 12, 2017 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Out actress Jane Lynch has plenty of awards on her mantlepiece, including a trio of Emmys (one for playing Sue Sylvester in Glee and two for hosting the gameshow, Hollywood Game Night). Now she’s added a fourth, picking up the Outstanding Actress in a Short Form Comedy or Drama Series Emmy for her role in series, Dropping the Soap.

Lynch, who also produced the show and helped bring it to the screen, plays Olivia Vanderstein in Dropping The Soap, the new producer in charge of a struggling daytime soap. That cause issues for everyone on the show, but none moreso than self-centred, closeted leading man, Julian Draker (Paul Witten).

The series debuted via the LGBT-focused streaming service Dekkoo earlier this year, and is now available via the likes of iTune, Google Play and Amazon Instant Video.

It’s not been revealed whether we’ll see another season of the show, but perhaps its Emmy win will give it the shot in the arm it needs to ensure we see a few more episodes.

Jane Lynch Is Set To Go Womanising In NBC’s New TV Pilot, Relatively Happy

March 16, 2017 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Jane Lynch has been brilliant for years, but people only really started properly paying attention after Glee. Since that show ended, TV has been looking for the right spot for her, and now NBC is hoping they’ve found it, as Variety reports she’s been cast in the pilot for the new comedy, Relatively Happy.

It’s a bit of gender-blind casting – sort of – as the role was originally written for a man, before the producers (including Will & Grace’s Max Mutchnick) decided it would be perfect for Lynch. Thankfully though, it doesn’t appear they’re changing much, as that just as when the character was a guy, she’ll be a bit of a womaniser.

The show ‘follows adult siblings Henry (John Rudnitsky) and Heather (Genevieve Angelson) who wind up living together for the first time since they were kids, after one of them suffers a big loss. They become each other’s wingman, shoulder to cry on, best friend and punching bag as they navigate love, loss and work while helping to get each other “un-stuck.”’

Lynch will play ‘Bobbi Martin, a fast-living, Scotch-drinking, three-piece-suit–wearing, womanizing divorce attorney who is Henry’s boss, mentor and “father” figure’.

Sitcom directing legend James Burrows will helm the pilot, with the show angling to premiere this autumn.

Dropping The Soap (VoD Review) – Jane Lynch & Paul Witten head into a campy soap opera world

March 12, 2017 By Tim Isaac 2 Comments

Starring: Jane Lynch, Kate Mines, Michael McKiddy, Paul Witten, Suzanne Friedline
Director: Various
Running Time: 100 mins
Certificate: NR
Release Date: March 7th 2017

The web series Dropping The Soap has been in the works for several years, but it’s only now that it’s arriving on VoD platforms, including the LGBT-centric streaming service, Dekkoo.com. It’s a 10-episode series, taking us into the mad world of the (fictional) US soap opera, Collided Lives.

Julian Draker (Paul Witten) is the star of Collided Lives, an egotistical man, obsessed with getting enough close-ups, maintaining his soap star status and ensuring nobody else upstages him. However, he has stiff competition from co-star Kit Knockers (Kate Mines), who would like nothing more than to knock Julian off his perch and become Collided Lives’ main star. [Read more…]

Dropping The Soap Trailer – Jane Lynch stars in a camp take on soap operas

March 1, 2017 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

With Jane Lynch executive producing, as well as the Glee star appearing alongside a great list of guest stars – many of which feature in the trailer below – Dropping The Soap certainly looks like it’s got plenty of potential. The show arrives on streaming services on March 7th, including the gay-centric subscription service, Dekkoo.com.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Executive produced by Jane Lynch, “Dropping the Soap” goes behind-the-scenes of the long-running (gawdawful) soap-opera “Collided Lives”. As the program struggles to stay afloat, a new Executive Producer named Olivia Vanderstein (hilarious played by Lynch) shows up to shake things up.

‘While the cast and crew desperately try to hold things together, Julian Drake (the soap’s leading man of “questionable talent and moral compass’) played by co-creator Paul Witten struggles to keep his personal life private and his cast members employed.’

“As the TV soap opera itself circles the drain, I love how our crew of self-centered and desperate actors charge ever forward to save their show from the chopping block,” said Lynch. “The writing is so sharp and witty as the off-screen shenanigans become almost more absurd than the storylines of “Collided Lives.’”

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

Glee’s Jane Lynch Reflects On Her Feelings Growing Up Gay: ‘It Was Almost Like I Had A Disease’

May 20, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

For a few years now the It Gets Better Project has been encouraging people to make short videos letting young LGBT people know that while it’s tough as a youngster, things do improve. With It Got Better they’re going a little deeper and that includes Jane Lynch, who goes into some depth in a new video, talking about the difficulties she faced growing up gay.

It’s a pretty moving interview and well worth watching, where she touches on plenty of things LGBT people will recognise about the fears in the early stages of realising you aren’t quite like most other people around you – but that things do most definitely improve. Lynch says, ‘There were certain ways you behaved. Boys did certain things, girls did certain things and I did not fit in that.

‘I identified more with boy things. I enjoyed dressing like a boy. Boys stopped wanting to play with me when I got to about 10, I had to fight to play baseball. Every day I didn’t know I was going to be received because I would just hang out until I got to play. Deep down inside I knew that there was something else going on.

‘I finally had a word for it when I was about 14. I had these friends and they said, ‘‘You know on the beach sometimes you’ll see guys walking together holding hands and they’re gay for each other’’ and I thought,  ‘I am the girl version of that’.

‘It was almost like I had a disease, I felt like I had been diagnosed.’

Things have definitely changed for her though, as she adds, ‘Now I live in a world where I don’t give a shit if you have a problem with who I am.’ [Read more…]

Glee – Season 4 (Blu-ray)

October 6, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Starring: Chris Colfer, Cory Monteith, Lea Michele, Matthew Morrison, Jane Lynch
Director: Various
Running Time: 924 mins
Certificate: 12
Release Date: October 7th 2013

It’s all change in the world of Glee. Many of the main characters have graduated, so Kurt (Chris Colfer) and Rachel (Lea Michele) have headed off to New York, initially Finn (Cory Monteith) is in the army, while others have headed off to various other places.

That means there’s space for some new Glee Club kids at McKinley High, while a few of the old faces are still waiting to graduate. Meanwhile Will (Matthew Morrison) and Emma’s (Jayma Mays) relationship is at a crossroads and most shockingly of all for fans of Klaine, Kurt and Blaine’s (Darren Criss) love may not be able to withstand the distance between them!

A.C.O.D. Trailer – Adam Scott tries to deal with his parents’ divorce all over again

August 17, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment


There’s a sense that Hollywood thinks it’s only a matter of time until Parks and Recreation star Adam Scott breaks it big in the movies, and with some great notices from festival screenings, perhaps A.C.O.D. is the film to do it.

He plays Carter, a seemingly well-adjusted Adult Child of Divorce (the A.C.O.D. of the title). Having survived the madness of his parents’ divorce, Carter now has a successful career and supportive girlfriend. But when his younger brother gets engaged, Carter is forced to reunite his bitterly divorced parents and their new spouses for the wedding, causing the chaos of his childhood to return, including his wacky therapist.

The great cast also includes Richard Jenkins, Catherine O’Hara, Amy Poehler, Clark Duke, Jessica Alba, Mary Elizabeth Winstead and Jane Lynch. It’ll be out later this year.

Ronny & I – Bryan Singer produced gay-themed flick, shot on a iPhone, seeks funding

June 15, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment


Ronny & I certainly has some great backers, including Glee’s Jane Lynch and X-Men director Bryan Singer acting as executive producers. It’s also an interesting idea – a gay-themed, teen road trip short film, all shot on an iPhone 5.

Guy Shalem’s movie is already in the can and has already screened at Cannes – the first film shot on an iPhone to do so – but now it’s seeking $60,000 on IndieGoGo in order to further distribute and promote the movie (and also gain a bit of an online following). And if you give $8,000, you can even own the iPhone it was filmed on as one of the rewards!

The synopsis says, ‘Ronny & I is a true and personal story from director Guy Shalem. An indie film that is meant to inspire and capture the hearts of people. Through love and friendship, both characters discover something unique and more about the world around them.’

Bryan Singer commented, “I have followed Guy’s work for many years and this short film captures an incredible intimate feeling that is difficult to describe. I hope it gets the attention it deserves!”

Jane Lynch adds, “I am excited for everyone to experience this film. I am so proud of Guy’s latest collaboration, which movingly brings the story of his first love to the screen.”

Find out a bit more about the movie in the vid above and over at IndieGoGo. [Read more…]

New Wreck-It Ralph Trailer – The videogame bad guy wants to turn good

September 13, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment


While for the last few years, Disney’s homegrown animation hasn’t always been that great, it looks like they could be on to a winner with Wreck-It Ralph. Here’s the synopsis: ‘Walt Disney Animation Studios and Emmy®-winning director Rich Moore (TV’s “The Simpsons,” “Futurama”) take moviegoers on a hilarious, arcade-game-hopping journey in “Wreck-It Ralph.” Ralph (voice of John C. Reilly, “Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby,” “Step Brothers”) is tired of being overshadowed by Fix-It Felix (voice of Jack McBrayer, “30 Rock”), the “good guy” star of their game who always gets to save the day. But after decades doing the same thing and seeing all the glory go to Felix, Ralph decides he’s tired of playing the role of a bad guy.He takes matters into his own massive hands and sets off on a game-hopping journey across the arcade through every generation of video games to prove he’s got what it takes to be a hero. On his quest, he meets the tough-as-nails Sergeant Calhoun (voice of Jane Lynch, TV’s “Glee”) from the first-person action game Hero’s Duty. But it’s the feisty misfit Vanellope von Schweetz (voice of Sarah Silverman, “The Sarah Silverman Program”) from the candy-coated cart racing game, Sugar Rush, whose world is threatened when Ralph accidentally unleashes a deadly enemy that threatens the entire arcade. Will Ralph realise his dream and save the day before it’s too late? “Wreck-It Ralph” crashes onto the big screen in February 2013, in Disney Digital 3D™ in select UK cinemas.’
