Tusk Trailer – Justin Long & Haley Joel Osment star in Kevin Smith’s strange movie

July 26, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

tuskEver since it was announced, Tusk sounded like a strange film, and the trailer does nothing to disabuse us of that idea.

Indeed it’s perhaps even stranger than we might have thought it would be – Michael Parks’ old soldier doesn’t want to die alone, even if that means holding someone hostage and trying to turn him into a walrus!

With Long tied to a chair by a madman, it’s up to his friends to find him. Genesis Rodriguez, Haley Joel Osment and Ralph Garman co-star.

Take a look at the trailer below and decide for yourself whether this is so bonkers it might be inspired, or whether it’s just completely nuts. [Read more…]

Johnny Depp Will Be Part Of Kevin Smith’s Strange Horror-Thriller Tusk

April 12, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

johnny-depp-slideJohnny Depp isn’t afraid of doing unexpected things just because it sounds fun, and it seems he’s at it again as it appears he’s going to have a role in Kevin Smith’s strange horror-thriller, Tusk.

It’s Tusk’s leading man, Justin Long, who made the surprising revelation in an interview with Newsday, where he refers to the film as being, “Yeah, the one where a man turns into a war horse [sic]. It’s called Tusk. Johnny Depp is in that one.”

But it’s not a war horse, it’s a walrus, with Long as a journalist who lands the story of a lifetime when he meets Mr. Howe (Michael Parks), an adventurer who has a strange penchant for the sea mammals. After he goes missing, his friends must find him. Genesis Rodriguez, Haley Joel Osment and Ralph Garman co-star.

It would be easy to think Justin Long was just joking, but it does fit with a tweet from Smith last September, where he said, ‘HE’S IN!!! HE’S IN!!!!!! #WalrusYes (More info when I can share it. Just needed to mark the highlight of my career for future reference…)’.

Johnny Depp’s role has not been confirmed, but TheWrap suggests that he may be a French-Canadian inspector named, Guy LaPointe, who looking a strange case involving a man trapped in a walrus costume. It’s only a small part, which Kevin Smith has said would be perfect for a big star cameo, as it only involves two days of filming.

Haley Joel Osment Joins Kevin Smith’s Tusk

October 19, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

haley-joel-osmentWhile he’s waiting for the money for Clerks III to come together, Kevin Smith has decided to helm a strange, Hammer Horror style monster movie called Tusk. The film is due to start shooting soon, but the cast is still coming together, with Deadline reporting that the latest to sign up being Haley Joel Osment.

He joins the likes of Justin Long, Genesis Rodriguez and Michael Parks.

Smith has previously said of the film, “It’s about a guy who turns another guy into a f**ing human walrus. As weird as it is in my head when I talk about it, they finally sent me the costume designs by Robert Kurtzman, and I was like, ‘Holy s**t, it’s a monster movie, I had no idea.’ I thought I was making a kind of sister thriller to Red State. As soon as I saw the designs, I go, ‘Of course this is a monster movie and he’s Dr. Frankenstein.”

Long will be the human walrus, with Osment as his long lost friend Teddy, who teams up with his girlfriend (Genesis Rodriguez) to try to find him.

The film starts shooting next month on a $2 million budget.

Justin Long Is Going Walrus For Kevin Smith In Tusks

September 26, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Justin-LongKevin Smith was going to give up directing after making his hockey movie Hit Somebody. Then plans changed and Hit Somebody became a mini-series, and Smith decided he was gonna make one more film, Clerks III. But that was definitely it.

Except now it’s not, as he’s going to slot in a strange, Hammer Horror style monster movie before shooting Clerks III. The film is called Tusks, and according to EW it’ll star Justin Long and Red State’s Michael Parks.

Smith had the idea for the film after he saw a Craigslist-type posting where a walrus-obsessed man sought a roommate he could dress up as the sea mammal, as if he lived with an animal rather than a person. That set Smith’s brain whirring and now he’s set to shoot it next month of a tiny $2 million budget, while he waits for funding to be completed on Clerks III.

Kevin says, “It’s about a guy who turns another guy into a f**ing human walrus. As weird as it is in my head when I talk about it, they finally sent me the costume designs by Robert Kurtzman, and I was like, ‘Holy s**t, it’s a monster movie, I had no idea.’ I thought I was making a kind of sister thriller to Red State. As soon as I saw the designs, I go, ‘Of course this is a monster movie and he’s Dr. Frankenstein.’”

Talking about the cast he says, “I wrote the script around him, so it’s nothing but Michael Parks dialogue porn. Justin Long is the guy in the walrus suit. I needed a guy who has expressive eyes because once you’re in that suit, you’re covered. I reached out to Justin and he wrote back and was like, ‘This is awfully scary but how can we not? Let’s fall down this hole.’”

Rachel Nichols Joins The Ten O’Clock People

July 30, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Actress Rachel Nichols (G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra) is one of those actresses that Hollywood keeps trying to break big, but who’s never quite made it. She’s appeared in GI Joe, Star Trek, Conan The Barbarian and had an unsuccessful stint in TV’s Criminal Minds. Now she’s planning to get another movie under her belt, as she has signed on to star in The Ten O’Clock People, adapted from Stephen King’s short story.

Tom Holland (Fright Night, Child’s Play) is adapting the short story and directing, which follows Brandon Pearson (Justin Long), a Boston man who is trying to quit smoking. While he tries to kick the habit, he makes the terrifying discovery that many authority figures are actually monsters, hiding in plain sight (which he can see while in withdrawal). Rachel Nichols will play a woman who can also see these creatures.

It isn’t certain when the movie might shoot. (Source: THR)

Justin Long Up For The Ten O’clock People

July 2, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

There’s been a slight lull in the amount of Stephen King adaptations recently, but there are a huge amount in the works, including a film version of The Ten O’Clock People, one of the novellas in Nightmares & Dreamscapes. Now Justin Long is in talks to take the lead role in the movie, according to Deadline.

The movie will bring the 1993 story up to date, with Long as Brandon Pearson, who attempts to quit smoking and uncovers unknown and terrifying aspects of reality that you can only see if you’re trying to kick the habit. He realises that many of those in positions of power aren’t really human, and are instead inhuman monsters.

The movie start shooting on September 10th in New York.

Die Hard Quadrilogy (Blu-ray)

April 6, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Starring: Bruce Willis, Bonnie Bedelia, Alan Rickman, Justin Long, Jeremy Irons
Director: John McTiernan, Renny Harlin, Len Wiseman
Running Time: 503 mins
Certificate: 18
Release Date: April 9th, 2012

There’s a slightly awkward situation with the Die Hard movies in the UK, where the distribution rights for parts 1, 2 and 4 are owned by 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment, while Die Hard With A Vengeance is released by Disney (or at least Buena Vista). As a result, getting a box set release of all the movies is a trickier proposition than you’d expect, as you have to get different studios to accept it, and so it’s only now that Fox can bring out a Blu-ray box set containing all four movies, replacing the previous Die Hard Blu-ray set, which lacked part 3!

You’ve undoubtedly seen all four films (and if you haven’t, what are you doing on a film website, reading a review of a Die Hard box set?), but just in case you haven’t, the series follows the exploits of Bruce Willis John McLane, the archetypal right man in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Sienna Miller Has A Case Of You With Brendan Fraser

February 17, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

A few years ago Sienna Miller seemed on the way to becoming a big star, but she’s almost disappeared from major productions recently. Indeed her last big movie was G.I. Joe: The Rise Of Cobra. However Variety reports that she and Brendan Fraser have got a new gig in a movie co-scripted by Justin Long. Unfortunately for Miller, it’s only a supporting role.

Long also takes the lead role in A Case of You, which is currently shooting in New York. The movie is about a young man who creates an online dating profile full of lies to try and attract women. It works well and he starts seeing a woman (Evan Rachel Wood), but then he realises that in order not to appear a complete liar, he needs to maintain the fiction he created online.

It’s isn’t certain exactly who Miller and Fraser will play, but Busy Phillips and Peter Dinklage also star, with Life Happens director Kat Coiro helming.
