The Sound And The Fury Trailer – James Franco & friends take on William Faulkner

November 3, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

the-sound-and-the-fury-slideJames Franco seems to love two things, everything gay and William Faulkner. He’s back into the world of the latter with The Sound And The Fury, his second film directing a movie based on one of Faulkner’s books after As I Lay Dying.

He’s also joined by plenty of his friends, as the likes of Seth Rogen, Danny McBride, Scott Haze, Tim Blake Nelson, Loretta Devine, Joey King, and Ahna O’Reilly also star.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Directed by and starring Academy Award nominee James Franco, The Sound and The Fury captures the lives and passions of the Compsons, a once proud Southern family caught in a tragic spiral of loss and misfortune. Based on the novel by Nobel Prize winner author William Faulkner and considered among the 20th century’s greatest works, The Sound and The Fury encapsulates the universal theme of the death of honor, social injustice and forbidden love.’

Stonewall Trailer – Jeremy Irvine fights for gay rights in Roland Emmerich’s movie

August 4, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

stonewall-trailer-slideIt’s certainly worth making a new movie about the Stonewall riots, as while most people have heard of them, even many gay people have no idea what actually happened, beyond the fact it’s the place where the modern gay rights fight is said to have started.

While this trailer suggests Roland Emmerich’s movie might have a slightly simplified take on the events of Stonewall (it is keen to say it’s inspired by events of June 1969, rather than being based on real characters), it still looks like it might be pretty interesting and entertaining.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘STONEWALL is a drama about a fictional young man caught up during the 1969 Stonewall riots. Danny Winters (Jeremy Irvine) is forced to leave behind friends and loved ones when he is kicked out of his parent’s home and flees to New York. Alone in Greenwich Village, homeless and destitute, he befriends a group of street kids who soon introduce him to the local watering hole The Stonewall Inn; however, this shady, mafia-run club is far from a safe-haven.  As Danny and his friends experience discrimination, endure atrocities and are repeatedly harassed by the police, we see a rage begin to build. This emotion runs through Danny and the entire community of young gays, lesbians and drag queens who populate the Stonewall Inn and erupts in a storm of anger. With the toss of a single brick, a riot ensues and a crusade for equality is born.’

Joey King, Jonny Beauchamp, Caleb Landry Jones, Atticus Dean Mitchell, Jonathan Rhys Meyers and Ron Perlman co-star. The movie is out in the US on September 25th. [Read more…]

Jonathan Rhys Meyers & Ron Perlman Join Roland Emmerich’s Gay Rights Drama, Stonewall

June 3, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

jonathan-rhys-meyersA couple of months ago Roland Emmerich promised he’d start shooting his gay rights movie Stonewall soon. Now he’s making good on that, as filming is about to kick off and more cast members have been announced.

Jeremy Irvine and Caleb Landry Jones are already onboard, and now Variety reports they’ve been joined by Jonathan Rhys Meyers, Ron Perlman and Joey King. Jonny Beauchamp, Karl Glusman, Vlademir Alexis, and Alexandre Nachi will also star.

The film will centre around Irvine’s Danny, a young man whose political awakening happens against the backdrop of the 1969 Stonewall Riots, which have since become a touchstone for the gay rights struggle. Caleb Landry Jones will play an eccentric gay street hustler named Orphan Annie who at first resists then warms up to Danny and later participates in the Stonewall uprising.

It’s not clear who the other actors will play. Shooting is starting now in New York.

The Conjuring is another one of those creepy paranormal tales that’s supposedly based on a true story, although quite how true it is, is highly debatable. Now we get out first chance to judge its veracity with a slightly creepy trailer (along with the new poster above).

Mackenzie Foy & Joey King Join Haunted Tale The Warren Files

February 7, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

It look like some young girls are going to get terrified in The Warren Files, as Variety reports Insidious director James Wan has set Joey King and Mackenzie Foy for his haunted house tale. While neither girl has hit their teen years yet, they already have plenty of film experience, as Foy plays Renesmee in Breaking Dawn and King will be a young Talia Al Ghul in Dark Knight Rises.

The film is based on the allegedly true-life tale of the Perron family, who claimed they ‘lived among the dead’ in the 1970s due to spirits – both friendly and sinister – that inhabited their Rhode Island farmhouse. Vera Farmiga and Patrick Wilson are playing the investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren, while Lili Taylor and Ron Livingston will be the Perron parents.

James Wan is directing, with the shoot scheduled to start February 21st in North Carolina.
