New Map To The Stars Trailer – Robert Pattinson reunites with David Cronenberg

August 12, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

maps-to-the-stars-quad-largeBack in April we got the first trailer for David Cronenberg’s Map To The Stars, and now we get a fresh look with a UK promo, which shows off the great cast, including Robert Pattinson, Julianne Moore, John Cusack, Mia Wasikowska, Sarah Gadon, Olivia Williams and Carrie Fisher.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘The Weiss family are an archetypical Hollywood dynasty – Dr Stafford Weiss (John Cusack) is a psychotherapist whose self-help books have made him a fortune. His wife Cristina (Olivia Williams) is the overbearing mom-ager of their thirteen-year old son, Benjie (Evan Bird), a prodigious child star fresh out of drug rehab and their estranged daughter Agatha (Mia Wasikowska) has recently been released from a psychiatric hospital. Agatha is now back in Hollywood making friends with a wannabe actor/writer limo driver named Jerome (Robert Pattinson) and with a new job as PA to one of Stafford’s clients – the neurotic and tempestuous actress Havana Segrand (Julianne Moore), whose dream of reprising her dead mother’s starring role from the 1960s is beginning to haunt her.’

Map To The Stars is released in UK cinemas on September 26th, 2014. [Read more…]

Reclaim Trailer – John Cusack is getting dodgy around Ryan Phillippe

August 11, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

reclaim-slideJohn Cusack and Ryan Phillippe are sometimes allowed in major Hollywood movies, but they spend a lot of time grafting away in the endless line of thrillers that get made and hope to do well enough on DVD to make their money back.

Reclaim certainly seems like one of those movies, with Cusack as a man involved in a dodgy adoption agency, which cause huge issues for Phillippe and Rachel Lefevre after they get a child from him.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘After their newly adopted daughter goes missing in a small town, Steven and Shannon will stop at nothing to uncover the truth behind her disappearance and the dangerous secret behind the adoption agency they trusted. Risking their own lives, they will discover just what being a parent means and how far they will go to get their child back.’

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

Maps To The Stars Trailer – David Cronenberg takes on a twisted Hollywood tale with Robert Pattinson & Julianne Moore

April 15, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment


David Cronenberg is back and this time he’s taking on Hollywood with Maps To The Stars. He’s gathered a great cast to do it, including Robert Pattinson, Julianne Moore, John Cusack, Mia Wasikowska, Sarah Gadon, Olivia Williams and Carrie Fisher.

Now the first trailer has arrived, which you can watch right here.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Led by the loathsome yet funny and touching child-star Benjie, we witness the convoluted world of shallow, selfish celebrities and their minions, all of whom are about to be manipulated and destroyed by the young woman who literally represents the fruit of their twisted machinations, Agatha, Benjie’s tormented, apparently psychotic sister. As much as it is a sharp, comic look at a vacant and corrupt world, MAPS TO THE STARS is also a haunting ghost story.’

It should be in cinemas later this year. [Read more…]

Samuel L. Jackson May be Playing Gay In The Stephen King Adaptation Cell

November 5, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

samuel-l-jacksonFor a while now, John Cusack has been attached to an adaptation of Stephen King’s novel, Cell. Now he’s got some company, as THR reports that Samuel L. Jackson has signed up too.

The movie is about Clay Wheeler (John Cusack), a Boston artist who is trying to reunite with his son after a mysterious cell phone signal turns humans into vicious, zombie-type monsters. Samuel L. Jackson is playing Tom McCourt, an engineer and former soldier who flees from the city with Clay. In the novel, McCourt is a gay man, although it’s not known if that’s being ported over to the film, and that Jackson will therefore be playing gay.

Tod Williams (Paranormal Activity 2) will direct from a screenplay co-written by Stephen King and Adam Alleca (The Last House on the Left). Production is scheduled to begin in January, with the project currently being sold at the American Film Market.
