April 22, 2017 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Following Marie Antoinette, Kirsten Dunst and director Sofia Coppola are getting back into period drama territory with The Beguiled. And they’re bringing the likes of Nicole Kidman, Colin Farrell, Elle Fanning and Angourie Rice along with them. The movie is The Beguiled, based on Thomas P.

Its sheltered young women take in an injured enemy soldier. As they provide refuge and tend to his wounds, the house is taken over with sexual tension and dangerous rivalries, and taboos are broken in an unexpected turn of events.’

The results is a very complicated love quadrangle as the headmistress, a teacher and a student all develop a relationship with the guest.

Midnight Special Trailer – Michael Shannon & Joel Edgerton protect a child with special powers

November 19, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

midnight-special-pic1-slideAfter indie hits Mud and Take Shelter, director Jeff Nichols heads in a slightly more mainstream direction with Midnight Special.

Michael Shannon, Joel Edgerton, Kirsten Dunst and Adam Driver star in the movie, which follows a ‘A father and son who go on the run after the dad learns his child possesses special powers’.

The new trailer seems to want to keep things rather mysterious, while giving off a slightly Amblin vibe (which seems to be what Nichols was going for, as he’s compared his film to the likes of Close Encounters of the Third Kind, E.T. and Starman),

The movie will be in UK cinemas next April. [Read more…]

Two Faces Of January Trailer – Plus a poster for the Viggo Mortensen movie

February 10, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment


The first trailer and poster for Two Faces Of January has arrived, which you can take a look at here.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘1962. A glamorous American couple, the charismatic CHESTER MACFARLAND (Viggo Mortensen) and his alluring younger wife COLETTE (Kirsten Dunst), are in Athens during a European vacation. While sightseeing at the Acropolis they encounter RYDAL (Oscar Isaac), a young, Greek-speaking American who is working as a tour guide, scamming female tourists on the side. Drawn to Colette’s beauty and impressed by Chester’s wealth and sophistication, Rydal gladly accepts their invitation to dinner.

‘All is not as it seems with the MacFarlands, Chester’s affable exterior hides darker secrets. When Rydal visits the couple at their exclusive hotel, Chester presses him to help move the body of a seemingly unconscious man who he claims attacked him. In the heat of the moment, Rydal agrees but as events take a more sinister turn he finds himself compromised and unable to pull himself free. His increasing infatuation with the vulnerable and responsive Colette gives rise to Chester’s jealousy and paranoia, leading to a tense and dangerous battle of wits between the two men. Their journey takes them from Greece to Turkey, and to a dramatic finale played out in the back alleys of Istanbul’s Grand Bazaar.’

The movie is out in UK cinemas on May 16th. [Read more…]

Jason Sudeikis Is Sleeping With Other People, Including Kirsten Dunst

September 11, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

jason-sudeikisJason Sudeikis has booked himself a new movie role. Following the success of We’re The Millers, Sudeikis has signed up for writer/director Leslye Headland’s new comedy, Sleeping With Other People, according to THR.

Kirsten Dunst is already on-board the film, which is described as a “biting comedy about a good-natured womanizer (Sudeikis) who befriends a remorseful serial cheater (Dunst). Their platonic relationship reforms their chronic infidelity but sparks an inconvenient romantic attraction to each other.”

Will Ferrell and Adam McKay’s Gary Sanchez production company is backing the movie, as they did Headland’s Bachelorette, which also starred Kirster Dunst. The film is currently being sold to potential backers in Toronto, but there’s no word on when it might shoot.

Kirsten Dunst Up For Midnight Special, Opposite Joel Edgerton & Michael Shannon

August 13, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Kirsten-DunstIn the late 90s and early 2000s, Kirsten Dunst seemed to by everywhere, but she’s been getting far fewer high profile roles recently. However now she’s signed on to play the female lead in Midnight Special, alongside Michael Shannon and Joel Edgerton, according to Deadline.

The movie is about a father who must go on the lam with his eight-year-old son, discovering along the way that the child possesses special powers. No details were given for Kirsten Dunst’s role, and it isn’t clear if Michael Shannon or Joel Edgerton is playing the father.

Jeff Nichols (Mud, Take Shelter) is set to direct from his own original screenplay, with Warner Bros set to back the movie. It isn’t clear when it might shoot.

Leo DiCaprio, Tobey Maguire & Jennifer Lawrence Out For GLAAD Media Awards (But Bret Easton Ellis says he was banned)

April 22, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

glaad-media-awards-slide
The stars were out in force on Saturday night for the GLAAD Media Awards in Los Angeles, where Bill Clinton was handed the ‘Advocate for Change Award’ by Harvey Weinstein and Jennifer Lawrence, while Leo DiCaprio and Charlize Theron gave entertainment lawyer Steve Warner the ‘Stephen F. Kolzak Award’ for his work for gay causes.

‘Outstanding Film – Wide Release’ went to The Perks Of Being A Wallflower, while The New Normal got ‘Outstanding Comedy Series’ and American Horror Story: Asylum won ‘Outstanding TV Movie or Mini-Series’.

Guests at the shindig included Darren Criss, Kelly Rowland, Andrew Rannells, Justin Bartha, Chaz Bono, Wilson Cruz, Logan Lerman, Ellen Pompeo, Eric Dane, Beth Ditto, Trevor Donovan, Kirsten Dunst, Chris Evans and his gay brother Scott Evans, Elle Fanning, Joshua Jackson, Tobey Maguire, Alex Pettyfer, Teri Polo, Molly Shannon, Matt Dallas and Betty White. You can take a look at a few of those guests below.

However there has been a bit of controversy, as Bret Easton Ellis has said that he was banned from the event. He was due to attend as the guest of one of those invited, but Ellis tweeted that, “As a gay man in a domestic partnership who plans to get married I’m sad to hear I’ve been banned by Glaad from attending tomorrow’s event… Glaad is supposedly ‘furious’ about my tweets. And I’m guessing not the ones concerning my boyfriend or how sexy I think Adam Driver is.”

GLAAD has responded, with the organisation’s vice president of communications Rich Ferraro telling the Hollywood Reporter, “GLAAD spoke with the guest who was planning to bring Bret about some of Bret’s recent remarks, which the gay community responded negatively to. We also asked for a time to sit down with Bret. They decided to replace Bret with a different guest and there has been no response to the offer of a meeting.”

Ellis has slip opinion with tweets such as comparing watching Glee to “stepping into a puddle of HIV”, and also provoked fury among some for saying that Matt Bomer is ‘too gay’ to play Christian Grey in the film version of 50 Shades Of Grey. It’s not only the LGBT community he’s managed to piss off, as recently he apologised for saying Kathryn Bigelow only won the Best Director Oscar for The Hurt Locker because she’s a ‘hot woman’.

Ellis seems resolutely unimpressed by GLAAD though, making the perhaps salient point, “Bill Clinton signed Doma [Defense of Marriage Act] and Don’t Ask Don’t Tell and cheated on Hillary… I dissed Glee and Matt Bomer as Christian Grey. GLAAD: RIGHT ON!”

Take a look below for all the winners from Saturday night’s awards, and a few pics from the event below that.

All Good Things (DVD)

February 19, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Starring: Kirsten Dunst, Frank Langella, Philip Baker Hall, Lily Rabe, Ryan Gosling
Director: Andrew Jarecki
Running Time: 100 mins
Certificate: 15
Release Date: February 18th 2013

We’ve had to wait a while for All Good Things. Shot in 2008 it was slated for US release in 2009, but various issues with the distribution meant it didn’t actually hit American cinemas until late 2010 (and even then it only got a small release). It’s take another two full years for it to arrive in the UK, despite the presence of Ryan Gosling and Kirsten Dunst.

Based on a true story, Gosling plays David Marks, who in the early 1980s is the heir to a mega-rich empire. However he massively dislikes his father (Frank Langella) and would prefer to have little to do with the family business. He meets and marries the lower-middle class Katie (Kirsten Dunst), fleeing the city to a place in rural Vermont. However they’re lured back to New York by David’s father. [Read more…]

New Upside Down Trailer – Jim Sturgess & Kirsten Dunst come from parallel worlds

January 25, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Upside Down definitely has an intriguing premise, but it’s one of those movies where it’s yet to be seen if the plot can live up to the promise of the setup.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Adam (Jim Sturgess) is a seemingly ordinary guy in a very extraordinary universe. He lives humbly trying to make ends meet, but his romantic spirit holds on to the memory of a girl he met once upon a time from another world, an inverted affluent world with its own gravity, directly above but beyond reach (each universe is in the sky of the other, able to see once another but not interact)… a girl named Eve (Kirsten Dunst). Their childhood flirtation becomes an impossible love. But when he catches a glimpse of grown-up Eve on television, nothing will get in the way of getting her back…’

No UK release date is currently set, but Juan Solanas’ movie arrives in the US in March. [Read more…]

Ben Foster & Kirsten Dunst Join Red Light Winter

August 30, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Ben Foster and Kirsten Dunst have signed on to star in Red Light Winter for writer-director Adam Rapp, with Foster replacing Mark Ruffalo, who’s been attached to the film for a while but has had to drop out due to scheduling issues.

The movie is about two New York City friends holidaying in Amsterdam. Their friendship is tested when they both fall for the same prostitute (Kirsten Dunst). Katherine Waterston also stars as a woman who also has a romantic past with both men. Billy Crudup was previously attached to star as one of the friends, an up and coming writer, but like Ruffalo he’s left the project and his part remains vacant for now.

Adam Rapp is directing from a screenplay he adapted from his own play, and is hoping to start shooting in December or January. (Source: Variety)
