New UK Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit Poster Shows Chris Pine In Action

November 29, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

jack-ryan-shadow-recruit-poster2
It’s only a couple of months until Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit arrives in UK cinemas, and ahead of that a new poster has been released, featuring Chris Pine in the title role, along with a floating Kevin Costner and Keira Knightley. It also promises intelligence is a weapon – not something that’s often seemed true in big Hollywood action films.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Based on the CIA analyst created by espionage master Tom Clancy, “Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit” is a blistering action thriller that follows Ryan (Chris Pine, “Star Trek”) from his quiet double-life as a veteran-turned-Wall Street executive to his all-out initiation as a hunted American agent on the trail of a massive terrorist plot in Moscow.

‘Ryan appears to be just another New York executive to his friends and loved ones, but his enlistment into the CIA secretly goes back years. He was brought in as a brainy Ph.D. who crunches global data – but when Ryan ferrets out a meticulously planned scheme to collapse the U.S. economy and spark global chaos, he becomes the only man with the skills to stop it. Now, he’s gone fully operational, thrust into a world of mounting suspicion, deception and deadly force. Caught between his tight-lipped handler Harper (Academy Award-winner Kevin Costner), his in-the-dark fiancée Cathy (Keira Knightley) and a brilliant Russian oligarch (Kenneth Branagh), Jack must confront a new reality where no one can seem to be trusted, yet the fate of millions rests on his finding the truth. With the urgency of a lit fuse, he’s in a race to stay one step ahead of everyone around him.’

It’s due out in the UK on January 24th, 2014.

Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit Trailer – Chris Pine takes on Tom Clancy’s hero

October 4, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment


Paramount must like Chris Pine, as they’ve already got him as the lead in Star Trek and now they’re relaunching another major franchise based around him with Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit. We got a poster a couple of days ago, and now comes the trailer.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘In a story taking place prior to the original Jack Ryan stories, Ryan is a young stock broker working for a billionaire in Moscow before joining the CIA. When the billionaire he is advising frames him for a terrorist plot and kidnaps his wife, Ryan must race against time to clear his name, stop the plot, and save his wife.’

Chris Pine, Kenneth Branagh, Kevin Costner, Keira Knightley and Colm Feore star, with Branagh also directing. The film is out at Christmas. [Read more…]

Kevin Costner Takes A Midnight Delivery For Guillermo Del Toro

July 16, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

kevin-costnerKevin Costner’s career revival continues with the news that he is in talks to star in Midnight Delivery for Universal Pictures, according to Variety. Guillermo del Toro is set to executive produce the project, and he also came up with the idea for the film.

The movie is about a desperate father who reluctantly becomes a drug mule in order to save the life of his son. Neil Cross (Mama) wrote the original screenplay, based on Del Toro’s story.

Costner was most recently seen as Jonathan Kent in Man of Steel, and next he’s set to be part of another major new franchise pic, Jack Ryan. He also recently wrapped shooting on Draft Day. It’s certainly a big change for a man who was barely averaging one movie a year through the 2000s, none of which could be described as a major hit.

Kevin Costner On For High School Sports Movie McFarland

July 2, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

kevin-costnerIf you stripped out westerns and sports related movies, Kevin Costner would have only made about three films. He’s a man who knows what he likes, and having just finished shooting the American Football flick Draft Day, he’s now signed up for McFarland, where he’ll play a high school track coach, according to Variety.

Based on a true story, ‘Costner will play a coach living in a predominantly Hispanic California town who creates a high school track team that must overcome social and physical hurdles to become champions during the 1980s.’

Costner has been mulling over the movie for a long time, as he first entered talks to join the movie almost a year ago, but it’s only now that he’s officially signed on.

Niki Caro (Whale Rider, North Country) is set to direct, with Disney backing the movie.

May 14, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

tom-wellingIvan Reitman’s Draft Day may have already started shooting, but it’s still adding new cast members, as Smallville star Tom Welling has joined the movie, according to Deadline.

In the movie, Kevin Costner plays the general manager of the Cleveland Browns, who tries to trade up to get the top pick in the NFL Draft. Tom Welling will play veteran NFL quarterback Brian Drew, who is at a crossroads in his playing career. Jennifer Garner, Ellen Burstyn, Denis Leary, Frank Langella, and Chadwick Boseman also star.

Ivan Reitman is directing from a screenplay by Rajiv Joseph, which landed the top spot on the Black List last year.

New Man Of Steel Trailer – Clark Kent is getting intense & battling General Zod

April 17, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment


The first trailers for Man Of Steel were certainly moody, but light on plot and action, but they’ve certainly made up for that with the latest promo, which suggests that the film will be as full of special effects and explosions as you’d expect. It’s a big blowout of a trailer, suggesting the film’s going to have a fairly serious tone, but offer a lot on the spectacle front.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘From Warner Bros. Pictures and Legendary Pictures comes “Man of Steel,” starring Henry Cavill (“Immortals,” TV’s “The Tudors”) in the role of Clark Kent/Superman, under the direction of Zack Snyder (“300,” “Watchmen”).

‘A young boy learns that he has extraordinary powers and is not of this Earth.  As a young man, he journeys to discover where he came from and what he was sent here to do.  But the hero in him must emerge if he is to save the world from annihilation and become the symbol of hope for all mankind.

‘The film also stars four-time Oscar® nominee Amy Adams (“The Master”) as Daily Planet journalist Lois Lane, and Oscar® nominee Laurence Fishburne (“What’s Love Got to Do with It”) as her editor-in-chief, Perry White.  Starring as Clark Kent’s adoptive parents, Martha and Jonathan Kent, are Oscar® nominee Diane Lane (“Unfaithful”) and Academy Award® winner Kevin Costner (“Dances with Wolves”).

‘Squaring off against the superhero are two other surviving Kryptonians, the villainous General Zod, played by Oscar® nominee Michael Shannon (“Revolutionary Road”), and Faora, Zod’s evil partner, played by Antje Traue (upcoming “The Seventh Son”).  Also from Superman’s native Krypton are Lara Lor-Van, Superman’s mother, played by Ayelet Zurer (“Angels and Demons”), and Superman’s father, Jor-El, portrayed by Academy Award® winner Russell Crowe (“Gladiator”).’

The film’s out June 14th.
