Avengers Assemble (Cinema)

By Leave a Comment

After years of build up, it’s finally here. While fanboys have long worried The Avengers (or Avengers Assemble as Disney wants us to call it in the UK, apparently because Brits are incapable of telling the difference between a 1960s TV show and a 2012 superhero movie) couldn’t live up to the hype, Joss Whedon has delivered.

It’s an action packed, rip-roaring juggernaut of a film, which pulls off the impressive trick of perfectly balancing a large ensemble cast, so that it feels as if everyone is there for a reason and has their own character arc. [Read more…]

Angelina Jolie In Talks For The Counselor Supporting Role

By Leave a Comment

Whether it’s because she likes the role or just wants to work with Ridley Scott, Angelina Jolie is in talks for a small part in The Counselor, according to Vulture, joining Michael Fassbender, Jeremy Renner, and Natalie Portman (although the last two of those still have to sign on the dotted line).

It’s now known exactly what part Jolie is in talks for, but it believed to be a relatively brief role. The Counselor is the first original script by legendary author Cormac McCarthy and follows a lawyer (Fassbender) who is looking to get into the drug trade.

Ridley Scott hopes to have The Counselor in front of cameras by June, giving Angelina Jolie enough time to shoot her few scenes before headlining Maleficent for Walt Disney Pictures, which plans to shoot this year for release in 2014.

Jeremy Renner Says It’s None Of Your Business If He’s Gay Or Not!

By Leave a Comment

Jeremy Renner is now officially a star, because people are speculating over his sexuality! Everything from the fact he’s never married to taking his mum to the Oscars has been grist to the speculation mill. Now Renner has been chatting to The Hollywood Reporter and touches on the rumours surrounding his sexuality while saying the he works hard to keep his private life private.

“I want my personal life to be personal, and it’s not f—ing true,” he says of the suppositions, which include everything from him being gay to what women he’s dating. “And I don’t care if you’re talking about things that are true, you’re still talking about my personal life. How about I go peek in your window, take what underwear you wore last night, whose husband you were f—ing, and shove that in the megaphone throughout your neighborhood? How does that feel?”

And while he may never have married, he has had long relationships with women, including one five-year relationship while he was in his 20s and another that ended two years ago after 4 1⁄2 years.

It also turns out it’s a bad idea to diss his scarf or call him a ‘fag’ (we’re not sure which one he was more upset about), as he say that a few years ago in a bar, “This guy chokes me with the scarf I was wearing. He called me a fag ’cause I was wearing a scarf! Then he shoved my sister and I got behind him and I choked him out — put him to sleep.”

Renner’s star is likely to go stratospheric this summer with The Avengers and The Bourne Ultimatum. 2012 really is gonna be his year.

First Avengers Assemble Clip Sees Black Widow Kick Some Ass

By Leave a Comment


Although Scarlett Johansson’s Black Widow was introduced in Iron Man 2, she didn’t have an awful lot to do in the movie. However she’s back in The Avengers, and along with Jeremy Renner’s Hawkeye, is the major character we’ve see least of. It’s not surprising therefore that the first official clip form the film is dedicated to her, showing they she can kick ass with the best of them and that this won’t just be a testosterone fest (assuming Asgardgian gods like Thor have testosterone, of course). Here Black Widow/Natasha Romanova being called into action by S.H.I.E.L.D.’s Agent Coulson. The film hits UK cinemas on April 26th, when Black Widow will be joined by Iron Man, The Incredible Hulk, Thor, Captain America, Hawkeye and Black Widow.
