By Leave a Comment

criminal-kevin-costnerIf you had to choose, would you prefer your brain to be put in Ryan Reynolds’ body or Kevin Costner’? Well the situation Ryan has to face in Criminal is suddenly becoming Kevin, which would be confusing enough for anybody.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Ryan Reynolds (Deadpool, The Proposal) and Oscar-winner Kevin Costner (DraftDay, Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit), CRIMINAL follows a CIA operative (Reynolds), whose memories and skills are implanted into an unpredictable and dangerous death-row inmate (Costner) in a last-ditch effort to stop an international terrorist plot.’

With Deadpool currently ripping up the box office, it’s certainly a good time to drop the trailer, so take a look at it below. It’ll be in cinemas on April 15th.

By Leave a Comment

gal-gadotAt the moment there are a lot of people who have no idea what a Gal Gadot is. However in the next couple of years the Fast & Furious actress has a great shot of becoming a household name. She’s currently filming the role of Wonder Woman in Superman Vs Batman: Dawn Of Justice, and now she’s booked another film, Criminal, according to THR.

Last weekend Ryan Reynolds also signed up to star alongside Kevin Costner, Gary Oldman and Tommy Lee Jones, which is about a ruthless killer (Costner) who chooses to take part in a scientific experiment instead of spending the rest of his life in jail. He gets implanted with the brain of a recently-murdered CIA field operative (Reynolds) in the hope that he will stop a diabolical plot.

Gadot is set to play Reynold’s wife.

Ariel Vromen (The Iceman) is set directing from a screenplay by David Weisberg and Douglas Cook.

Ryan Reynolds Will Be A Criminal Alongside Kevin Costner & Gary Oldman

By Leave a Comment

ryan-reynolds-slideRecently Kevin Costner, Tommy Lee Jones and Gary Oldman signed up to star in the thriller Criminal, and now another big name has joined the cast, as Ryan Reynolds has signed up for the movie, according to Variety.

The movie is about a ruthless killer who chooses to take part in a scientific experiment instead of spending the rest of his life in jail. He gets implanted with the brain of a recently-murdered CIA field operative in the hope that he will stop a diabolical plot.

It’s not currently 100% clear which actor will play which role, except that Oldman will be the head of the CIA. Presumably Reynolds and Costner will be the killer and the dead CIA agent, but it’s unclear which way round it will be.

Ariel Vromen is set to direct from a script by Douglas Cook and David Weisberg.

Gary Oldman Is Set To Get Criminal With Kevin Costner

By Leave a Comment

gary-oldman-robocopIt seems there’s not going to be too much fallout from Gary Oldman defending the homophobic and racist rants of fellow celebs, as thanks to him quickly calling himself an ‘asshole’ for doing so, all seems to be forgiven. It’s certainly not stopped him booking new roles.

A few weeks ago Kevin Costner signed up for the thriller Criminal, and now he’s got some company as Gary Oldman has signed up to co-star, according to THR.

The movie is about a ruthless killer who chooses to take part in a scientific experiment instead of spending the rest of his life in jail. He gets implanted with the brain of a recently-murdered CIA field operative in the hope that he will stop a diabolical plot.

Oldman will play the head of the CIA.

Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit (DVD Review)

Starring: , , ,
Director:
Running Time:

Release Date:

After Alec Baldwin, Harrison Ford and Ben Affleck comes Chris Pine as Jack Ryan, with a film that attempts to relaunch the Tom Clancy-based franchise for a new generation. As with the Ben Affleck effort, Shadow Recruit takes us back to the early days of Ryan, this time setting him up as a Marine injured in Afghanistan who is then recruited by the CIA to use his superior intellect as an analyst inside top banks, in order to try and track funding for terrorism.

It’s supposed to be a desk job, but he’s still not allowed to tell his girlfriend, Cathy (Keira Knightley), he’s in the CIA until they’re married. Ryan uncovers hidden accounts that suggest some rich Russians plan to destroy the American economy by tanking the dollar and coinciding that with a terrorist attack. His handler, Thomas Harper (Kevin Costner), decides to send Jack to Moscow as he is the only one who understands the complex financial information. [Read more…]

Draft Day Super Bowl Spot – Kevin Costner turns American Football manager

By Leave a Comment


During his 80s and 90s heyday, you couldn’t keep Kevin Costner away from films about sports, such as Bull Durham, Tin Cup and For The Love Of The Game. We haven’t had one for a few years but now he’s back in the sports arena with Draft Day. While it’s usually massive effect-filled movies that get Super Bowl TV ads, it certainly makes sense for Draft Day to have, even if they are believed to cost $4 million for 30 seconds this year.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘On the day of the NFL Draft, general manager Sonny Weaver (Costner) has the opportunity to save football in Cleveland when he trades for the number one pick. He must quickly decide what he’s willing to sacrifice in pursuit of perfection as the lines between his personal and professional life become blurred on a life-changing day for a few hundred young men with dreams of playing in the NFL.’

Ivan Reitman directs the film, which is due out in April. [Read more…]
