New Jobs Trailer – Ashton Kutcher is an Official American Legend

August 6, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment


While Jobs got a bit of a mixed reaction when it debuted earlier this year at Sundance, there’s certainly a fair amount of interesting in the movie. Now a new trailer has popped up, so we can get our own feel for the film, which promises it’s about an ‘Official American Legend’.

The film is about Apple co-founder Steve Jobs (Ashton Kutcher), following him ‘from the enthusiasm and self-discovery of his youth through his darkest days, brightest triumphs, and the ultimate power of his drive, his passions, and his undying will to change everything we thought possible. Dark, honest, and uncompromising, Jobs plunges into the depths of Steve Jobs’ character, uncovering his driving motivations, his gifts, his flaws, his failures, and his ultimate successes.’

It hits US cinemas on August 16th. No UK date is set yet. [Read more…]

Josh Gad Takes The Lead In Sam Kinison Biopic, With Larry Charles Helming

August 5, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

josh-gadSam Kinison is a legend among American comedians, famed for his screaming rants and biting humour. Now he’s getting the film treatment, with Deadline reporting that Josh Gad (The Book of Mormon, Love & Other Drugs) is set to play the comic, with Larry Charles (Borat, Bruno) directing.

Rich Wilkes has come up with the script, based on the book Brother Sam by Kinison’s brother, Bill Kinison.

Kinison was born to a preacher father, and brought his father’s booming style to his comedy. In the 80s he became one of the biggest names in the stand-up world, fearlessly taking on subject few others would touch. However in his personal life he battled against depression and alcoholism before dying in 1992 when a drunk driver hit his car.

Producer David Permut comments, “There was nothing conventional about Sam Kinison and neither will be the cinematic interpretation of his life. Larry Charles is the perfect director to bring Rich Wilkes’ incredible script to screen, and Josh Gad’s tremendous ability to morph into a role will bring great depth to Kinison’s larger than life persona.”

Gad said on Twitter, “Couldn’t be more honored & humbled 2 play Sam. His comedy remains some of the most fearless I have ever seen.”

Expect to hear plenty more interesting casting, as the script includes real-life name such as Tammy Faye Bakker, Richard Pryor and Howard Stern, who will undoubtedly attract some good actors.

June 27, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment


If you thought we’d dealt with sex addiction on screen with Choke and Shame, you were wrong, as it’s now getting a slightly comic treatment from The Kids Are All Right director Stuart Blumberg.

Mark Ruffalo, Gwyneth Paltrow, Josh Gad, Tim Robbins, Joely Richardson, Carol Caine, Patrick Fugit and Alecia Moore (aka Pink) star in the movie, which is about group of characters who are all suffering from sex addiction. Meeting regularly for support sessions, each of them struggles with their own personal demons as it effects their personal lives, including their families, friends, and significant others.

The film debuted at last year’s Toronto International Film Festival, but it won’t arrive in US cinemas until September 20th. No UK date is currently set.

Disney’s Frozen Character Posters Debut – Meet Elsa & Anna

February 4, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

frozen character poster1 thumbLater this year Disney will be hoping to match the success of Tangled with Frozen, a new take on the classic tale The Snow Queen (a story the studio has been thinking about animating for decades). Now two new character posters from the film have debuted over at Cine1, giving us our first proper look at lead characters Elsa and Anna.

Here is the synopsis: ‘When a prophecy traps a kingdom in eternal winter, Anna, a fearless optimist, teams up with extreme mountain man Kristoff and his sidekick reindeer Sven on an epic journey to find Anna’s sister Elsa, the Snow Queen, and put an end to her icy spell. Encountering mystical trolls, a funny snowman named Olaf, Everest-like extremes and magic at every turn, Anna and Kristoff battle the elements in a race to save the kingdom from destruction.’

Kristen Bell, Idina Menzel, Josh Gad and Jonathan Groff lead the voice cast. The movie is due out in the US this November, and will probably reach the UK the following February.

June 27, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Ron Eldard, John Getz, Lesley Ann Warren and James Woods have joined Ashton Kutcher in Jobs, the biopic about the iconic Silicon Valley visionary which started shooting a couple of weeks ago. The cast also includes Josh Gad, Lukas Haas, Matthew Modine and Dermot Mulroney.

Joshua Michael Stern (Swing Vote, Neverwas) directs, from an original screenplay by Matt Whiteley, with the film chronicling Steve Jobs’ transformation of character from the enthusiasm and self-discovery of his youth, to the personal demons that clouded his vision, and finally to the ultimate triumphs of his later life.

Ashton Kutcher plays the title role, with Josh Gad portraying Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak. Ron Eldard is Apple designer Rod Holt; John Getz portrays Jobs’ father, Paul Jobs; Lesley Ann Warren plays Jobs’ adoptive mother, Clara Jobs; and James Woods is Jobs’ former Dean of Students, Jack Dudman. Lukas Haas is Apple engineer Daniel Kottke; Matthew Modine portrays former Apple CEO John Sculley; and Dermot Mulroney is investor and second Apple CEO Mike Markkula.

Josh Gad Joins Steve Jobs Biopic As Steve Wozniak

April 27, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

There were a few raised eyebrows when Ashton Kutcher was cast as Steve Job in a new independent biopic – until pictures of the two of them at the same age were compared, and it suddenly made a lot more sense. However there will probably be fewer people who’ll wonder if Book of Mormon and Love & Other Drugs star Josh Gad will be a good fit for Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak.

Jobs and ‘Woz’ first became friends as Hewlett Packard in 1970. While Wozniak wasn’t sure about Jobs’ idea of selling computers as fully assembled, off-the-shelf bits of kit, he eventually threw his lot in and the two set up Apple in 1976. That was the beginning of a 12-year business relationship, where it’s said the duo never became close friends, but did develop a bond that remained until the end of Jobs’ life.

Joshua Michael Stern is directing Jobs, which will follow Steve from his early, hippie days, through the founding of the enormous tech giant. Shooting will begin next month. (Source: Variety)

February 1, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Dreamworks Animation has set the cast for its upcoming movie, Me & My Shadow, with THR reporting that Kate Hudson, Josh Gad, and Bill Hader will be voicing characters in the movie, which has been in the works since December 2010.

The movie centres on Stan (Bill Hader), a shadow who wishes for a more adventurous life than being attached to the dull Stanley Grubbs (Josh Gad). Stan gets his wish when a dangerous crime in the shadow community forces Stan to take control of Stanley. Kate Hudson will voice Stanley’s possible love interest.

Alessandro Carloni is set to make his feature directorial debut with Me and My Shadow, after serving as the head of story on How to Train Your Dragon. Carloni took over from Mark Dindal who was going to direct when they project was first announced. Tom J. Astle and Matt Ember are writing the screenplay, based on the original draft by Steve Bencich and Ron J. Friedman.
