What Maisie Knew Trailer – Julianne Moore, Steve Coogan & Alexander Skarsgard have custody issues

March 6, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

The issues surrounding children getting caught up in the relationship dramas of divorced parents it something film has conspicuously steered clear of (with notable exception such as Kramer Vs. Kramer), largely because it’s such a difficult and emotive issue. However What Maisie Knew – a modern adaptation of a Henry James story – tackles this head on.

It looks at a seven-year-old, caught up in the drama between her aging rock star mother (Julianne Moore) and art dealer dad (Steven Coogan) after their divorce. However the film doesn’t just delve into children and their parents, but also what happens when new people (Alexander Skargard, Joanna Vanderham) come into those parents’ lives and the difficulty of working out what their role is.

It looks like it could be a really good movie, which may well be going for Oscars, as it’s due for release this coming autumn. [Read more…]

New Carrie Poster Online – Meet Julianne Moore’s Margaret White

January 15, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

carrie-teaser-poster2
It’s still a few months until the remake of Carrie hits cinemas in November, due to the fact it’s been put back from its originally planned Spring release. However to keep us interested, Sony has released a new poster via Latino Review, which shows us Julianne Moore’s Margaret White.

If you know Stephen King’s novel or the 1976 film version, you’ll know that Margaret isn’t not exactly the nicest of people. She is Carrie’s (Chloe Moretz) mother and a bit of a religious zealot monster who believes her daughter’s newfound powers are evil and just about everything she does goes against God.

Carrie’s homelife is as bad as school, where the quiet young girl is laughed at and bullied – something that comes to a head when the popular people play a prank on her at the prom. Judy Greer, Gabriella Wilde, Portia Doubleday, Alex Russell and Michelle Nolden also star.

First Pics Of Jeff Bridges & Julianne Moore In Seventh Son Debut

December 3, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

It’s not due out until October 2013, but the first images from The Seventh Son have already arrived via USA Today, featuring Ben Barnes, Jeff Bridges and Julianne Moore. The film is based on Joseph Delany’s novel The Spook’s Apprentice, but gets a bit name change for the film version.

Barnes plays Tom, the seventh son of a seventh son, who becomes the apprentice to master wizard ‘Spook’ Gregory (Jeff Bridges). Their characters must team up to do battle with an evil witch (Julianne Moore) who escapes and rounds up a group of evil-doers to plan an all-out assault.

Alicia Vikander plays a young witch who Tom falls for, while Kit Harington (Game of Thrones) is also onboard as one of Gregory’s apprentices. In the book, Tom is a teen, which seems to be changing, as at 31-year-old, Barnes can’t pass for that young anymore. Sergey Bodrov directs.

It’s a film that’s been in the works for a long time, so hopefully the final results will be worth it.

October 24, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

For quite a while now, Al Pacino has been attached to Imagine, a John Lennon infused drama being put together by writer/director Dan Fogelman. However production has been delayed, partly due to casting issues, as while Steve Carell was set to play Pacino’s son, he dropped out.

Now things are moving forward again, with Deadline reporting that Pacino has been confirmed for the film and he’s been joined by Jeremy Renner and Julianne Moore. Pacino will play an aging rock star who decides to turn his life around after discovering a letter John Lennon wrote to him. He sets out to track down the son (Jeremy Renner) he has never met. Julianne Moore will play the manager of a small New Jersey motel the rocker moves into.

The current plan is for production to kick off sometime between April and May of next year.

The Kids Are All Right (Blu-ray)

October 31, 2011 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Starring: Annette Bening, Julianne Moore, Mark Ruffalo, Mia Wasikowska, Josh Hutcherson
Director: Lisa Cholodenko
Running Time: 101 mins
Certificate: 15
Release Date: 21st March, 2010

What a confusing movie The Kids Are All Right is. Kids with two mothers? What craziness! Whoever heard of such as thing! And it has two women living in the same house, both of whom have fathered a child by the same sperm donor! Nuttiness.

At one point, when Julianne Moore was under the bed covers between Annette Bening’s legs, I even thought they were trying to suggest these two mothers were having some sort of sexual relationship, but then I heard a strange buzzing sound coming from down there and realised Moore must have just lost her cell phone or something.
