Holmes & Watson Trailer – Will Ferrell & John C. Reilly go comedy Sherlock

October 2, 2018 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

There have been an awful lot of Sherlock Holmes movies over the years. Now we’re getting a new one that’s taking Conan Doyle’s detective in a comedy direction, with Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly reteaming as Holmes and Watson.

They’re joined by a great cast including the likes of Steve Coogan, Ralph Fiennes, Kelly Macdonald, Rebecca Hall, Hugh Laurie and Rob Brydon. However, the jury is still out on whether the film itself will be any good.

We do now have our first taste of the film though, as a trailer has been released, which you can take a look at below. The film will be in cinemas around Christmas. [Read more…]

September 24, 2018 By Tim Isaac 1 Comment

Synopsis: ‘The true story of Hollywood’s greatest comedy double act, Laurel and Hardy, is brought to the big screen for the first time. Starring Steve Coogan and John C. Reilly as the inimitable movie icons, Stan & Ollie is the heart-warming story of what would become the pair’s triumphant farewell tour.

‘With their golden era long behind them, the pair embark on a variety hall tour of Britain and Ireland. Despite the pressures of a hectic schedule, and with the support of their wives Lucille (Shirley Henderson) and Ida (Nina Arianda) – a formidable double act in their own right – the pair’s love of performing, as well as for each other, endures as they secure their place in the hearts of their adoring public.’

Stan & Ollie will be in UK cinemas, January 2019. Take a look at the trailer below. [Read more…]

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…]

Kong: Skull Island Final Trailer – Tom Hiddleston finds a giant gorilla & plenty more monsters

February 27, 2017 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Kong: Skull Island will be one of Hollywood’s first big tests of the year. Warner has hopes for a franchise and is already planning to put Kong up against Godzilla, but it’s far from certain whether Skull Island will be the massive hit they’re hoping for. It certainly looks like it could be pretty fun though.

To help increase the hype, a big, final trailer has been released.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Warner Bros. Pictures and Legendary Pictures’ “Kong: Skull Island” reimagines the origin of the mythic Kong in a compelling, original adventure from director Jordan Vogt-Roberts. In the film, a diverse team of explorers is brought together to venture deep into an uncharted island in the Pacific—as beautiful as it is treacherous—unaware that they’re crossing into the domain of the mythic Kong.

‘“Kong: Skull Island” stars Tom Hiddleston, Samuel L. Jackson, Oscar winner Brie Larson, John Goodman and John C. Reilly. The international ensemble cast also includes Tian Jing, Corey Hawkins, Jason Mitchell, John Ortiz, Thomas Mann, Shea Whigham, Toby Kebbell and Eugene Cordero. Vogt-Roberts directs the film from a screenplay by Max Borenstein, John Gatins, Dan Gilroy and Derek Connolly. “Kong: Skull Island” is produced by Legendary’s Thomas Tull and Jon Jashni with Mary Parent. The executive producers are Eric McLeod and Alex Garcia. Warner Bros. Pictures and Legendary Pictures Present a Legendary Pictures Production, “Kong: Skull Island.”’

The film hits cinemas on March 9th. [Read more…]

Jake Gyllenhaal Will Be One Of The Sister Brothers, Opposite Joaquin Phoenix

February 11, 2017 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Jacques Audiard​ won the Palm d’Or at Canned for his last movie, Dheepan, about a former Sri Lankan freedom fighter finding life difficult as an asylum seeker in France. However, he’s planning something rather different for his next film, the noir western, The Sister Brothers.

The movie is set to star Joaquin Phoenix and John C. Reilly, and Variety reports that it’s just added Jake Gyllenhaal to its cast. The film, based on Patrick deWitt’s award-winning novel, ‘follows two brothers – Eli and Charlie Sisters – who are hired to kill a prospector who has stolen from their boss. The story takes place in Oregon in 1851.’ However, things don’t turn out quite as expected, especially as the man they’re supposed to kill seems so nice, and may be able to help the Sisters get rich.

The film is due to start shooting this summer. That will be after Gyllenhaal has completed his Broadway musical debut run in a revival of Sunday in the Park With George, which opens shortly.

Hugh Laurie & Ralph Fiennes Set To Join Will Ferrell In Holmes and Watson

January 8, 2017 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Back in August it was revealed that Stepbrothers and Talladega Nights co-stars Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly are reuniting for Holmes and Watson. Now they have some company, as Ralph Fiennes and Hugh Laurie have joined the movie, according to THR.

Ferrell is set to be Sherlock Holmes in this comedy take on Arthur Conan Doyle’s detective, with Reilly as Watson. It’s not known who Laurie and Fiennes will be, although they will apparently ‘slip on the shoes of two beloved characters from the Holmes oeuvre’. That likely means one of them will be Moriarty, with the other either as Holmes’ brother Mycroft, or Inspector Lestrade.

Etan Cohen is writing and directing the movie, which is already shooting in London. The movie is due out in 2018.

Kong: Skull Island Trailer – Tom Hiddleston & Brie Larson find a big ape & a world of monsters

November 17, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

kong-skull-island-poster1-slideA few months ago we got a Comic Con trailer for Kong: Skull Island, which showed us plenty of things, but not much of the giant ape himself, Kong. However, that’s now been remedied with a new, final trailer, which has much more of the infamous simian, along with a variety of the the other creatures on the island, from gargantuan spiders to strange dinsosaur-like nasties.

You can watch the trailer and see a couple of new posters below.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Warner Bros. Pictures and Legendary Pictures’ “Kong: Skull Island” reimagines the origin of the mythic Kong in a compelling, original adventure from director Jordan Vogt-Roberts. In the film, a diverse team of explorers is brought together to venture deep into an uncharted island in the Pacific—as beautiful as it is treacherous—unaware that they’re crossing into the domain of the mythic Kong.

‘The film will be released worldwide in 2D, 3D in select theatres, and IMAX in March 2017, from Warner Bros. Pictures, a Warner Bros. Entertainment Company.’ [Read more…]

Will Ferrell & John C. Reilly Reuniting For Holmes and Watson

August 17, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

will-ferrell-john-c-reillySherlock Holmes already holds the record for the literary character with the most on-screen adaptations. Now it looks like he might be getting another one, with time turning the famous detective more comic, as Deadline reports that Stepbrothers and Talladega Nights co-stars Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly are reuniting for Holmes and Watson.

The movie will give Sherlock a PG-13 comic spin, with Ferrell and Holmes and Reilly as Watson. Previously it was going to be Ferrell and Sasha Baron Cohen, but after the Borat actor left, Sony quickly replaced him with Reilly, with plans to push is into production soon.

Etan Cohen, who directed Ferrell in Get Hard, is set to helm the movie. The movie will go into production at the end of the year, for release in 2017.

Steve Coogan & John C. Reilly Set For Laurel & Hardy Biopic

January 18, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

steve-coogan

It’s difficult to think of two actors who’d seem a good fit for a biopic of legendary silent movie comics Laurel & Hardy. However, THR reports the people behind a movie about the men have found two people who would seem to be perfect – Steve Coogan & John C. Reilly.

According to the trader paper, Stan & Ollie is ‘described as an “emotional tribute to two of the funniest men in movie history” and focuses on their real-life tour of the variety halls of the U.K. as aging stars in 1953. The now-famous tour would see the double act set out “with their golden era as the kings of Hollywood comedy now behind them.” But despite initially disappointing attendances, the shows would soon become hits, with Laurel and Hardy reconnecting with fans, old and new, while rediscovering how much they mean to each other as they come to terms with the end of their careers.’

That said, Stan Laurel never fully did come to terms with the end of his career, as it’s said he continued to write Laurel & Hardy skits and scripts even after Oliver Hardy died.

The project will reunite Coogan with his Philomena co-writer Jeff Pope, while Jon S. Baird (Filth) will direct. It’s not clear when the movie will shoot.
