Veronica Mars Trailer – Kristen Bell brings the cult series back to life on the big screen

January 3, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment


Ever since Veronica Mars was cancelled on TV there’s been talk of a movie, which suddenly became real after a crowd-funding campaign raised the necessary funding and it quickly went into production. However there’s still a question hanging over the film – rabid fans may be willing to pay for it, but will enough other people be interested to turn it into a hit?

Now we can take a look at the movie version with a new trailer.

The show followed Veronica (Kristen Bell) who ended up working as a PI after her best friend got killed. In the film she’s now a lawyer, but gets pulled back into the world of investigations when her old flame Logan (Jason Dohring) is accused of murder. It looks like it’ll have plenty to please fans, although we’ll have to see whether other people are interested when it’s released later this year. [Read more…]

October 18, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment


Frozen hits cinema on December 6th, 2013, and now a new trailer has arrived, which includes a taster of the song For the First Time in Forever.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Walt Disney Animation Studios, the studio behind “Tangled” and “Wreck-It Ralph,” presents “Frozen,” a stunning big-screen comedy adventure. Fearless optimist Anna (voice of Kristen Bell) sets off on an epic journey—teaming up with rugged mountain man Kristoff (voice of Jonathan Groff) and his loyal reindeer Sven—to find her sister Elsa (voice of Idina Menzel), whose icy powers have trapped the kingdom of Arendelle in eternal winter. Encountering Everest-like conditions, mystical trolls and a hilarious snowman named Olaf, Anna and Kristoff battle the elements in a race to save the kingdom.

‘The film is directed by Chris Buck (“Tarzan,” “Surf’s Up”) and Jennifer Lee (screenwriter, “Wreck-It Ralph”), and produced by Peter Del Vecho (“Winnie the Pooh,” “The Princess and the Frog”).

September 26, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment


Frozen hits cinema on December 6th, 2013, and now Disney has released our best look yet at the film in the form of a full trailer and a couple of new images. It certainly looks fun, as long as you have a high tolerance for jokes about all things icy.

New Poster For Disney’s Frozen Emerges

July 26, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

frozen-teaser-quadDisney is hoping that the audiences that flocked to Tangled will like their latest fairytale adventure, Frozen, when it opens this coming December. Now a new US quad poster has emerged, which is certainly a nice contrast to the balmy summer weather.

Veronica Mars Movie Trailer – Take your first look at the TV character’s big screen adventure

July 21, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment


Veronica Mars was never that popular on TV when it ran from 2004-2007, but those who liked it absolutely loved it, which resulted in a Kickstarter campaign to get a movie version made getting over 900,000 backers. That resulted in a quick greenlight and soon Kristen Bell and co. were on the set making the film.

Now they’ve used Comic-Con to reveal the first trailer for the film, and fans will be pleased to hear it’s a long one.

The promo is certainly fan-bait, showing this will retain the show of the TV show, while opening things up a bit, and offering interviews with the cast and crew to help those who don’t know the series, which follows the titular character, a young woman who becomes a bit of a private eye.

It’ll hit cinemas in 2014.

Disney’s Frozen looks like it could be pretty good. Now the House Of Mouse is hoping to get us more interested by introducing us to the film’s characters with nine new images and descriptions, which you can see above and below.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Walt Disney Animation Studios, the studio behind “Tangled” and “Wreck-It Ralph,” presents “Frozen,” a stunning big-screen comedy adventure.

Anna (voice of Kristen Bell) - Anna is more daring than graceful and, at times, can act before she thinks. But she’s also the most optimistic and caring person you’ll ever meet. She longs to reconnect with her sister, Elsa, as they were close during their childhood. When Elsa accidentally unleashes a magical secret that locks the kingdom of Arendelle in an eternal winter, Anna embarks on a dangerous adventure to make things right. Armed with only her fearlessness, a never-give-up attitude and her faith in others, Anna is determined to save both her kingdom and her family.

Armed with only her fearlessness, a never-give-up attitude and her faith in others, Anna is determined to save both her kingdom and her family.
Duke of Weselton (voice of Alan Tudyk) - What the Duke of Weselton lacks in stature, he makes up for in arrogance and showboating. He’s determined to get close to the new queen—that is, until Elsa’s magical secret is revealed. Then he’s the first to call her a monster and try to turn her own kingdom against her—anything that might help him exploit Arendelle’s tradable goods.

Elsa (voice of Idina Menzel) - From the outside, Elsa looks poised, regal and reserved, but in reality, she lives in fear as she wrestles with a mighty secret—she was born with the power to create ice and snow. It’s a beautiful ability, but also extremely dangerous. Haunted by the moment her magic nearly killed her younger sister Anna, Elsa has isolated herself, spending every waking minute trying to suppress her growing powers. Her mounting emotions trigger the magic, accidentally setting off an eternal winter that she can’t stop. She fears she’s becoming a monster and that no one, not even her sister, can help her.

Hans (voice of Santino Fontana) - Hans is a handsome royal from a neighboring kingdom who comes to Arendelle for Elsa’s coronation. With 12 older brothers, Hans grew up feeling practically invisible—and Anna can relate. Hans is smart, observant and chivalrous. Unlike Elsa, Hans promises he’ll never shut Anna out; he just might be the connection she’s been waiting for all these years.

Kristoff (voice of Jonathan Groff) - Kristoff is a true outdoorsman. He lives high up in the mountains where he harvests ice and sells it to the kingdom of Arendelle. Rough around the edges, Kristoff’s the strong, no-nonsense type, who follows his own set of rules. He may seem like a loner, but he always has his best friend by his side—a loyal and extremely mangy reindeer named Sven.

Marshmallow - Marshmallow is an enormous icy snowman born from Elsa’s powers. He serves as a brute bodyguard charged with keeping intruders away from her ice palace. The menacing white beast doesn’t say much, but he packs a powerful punch.

Oaken (voiced by Chris Williams) - Oaken runs Wandering Oaken's Trading Post and Sauna. But since Elsa’s massive winter storm hits in mid-July, he finds himself with a surplus of summer supplies. Deal-seekers beware: though he’s good-natured and helpful, if you cross him, Oaken won’t hesitate to throw you out of his humble establishment.

Olaf (voice of Josh Gad) - He’s Olaf and he likes warm hugs. Sprung from Elsa’s magical powers, Olaf is by far the friendliest snowman to walk the mountains above Arendelle. His innocence, outgoing personality and uncanny ability to disassemble himself at good and not-so-good times lead to some awkward, albeit laughable moments. He may also have the world’s most impossible dream, but what he doesn’t know won’t melt him—or will it?

Sven - A reindeer with the heart of a Labrador, Sven is Kristoff’s loyal friend, sleigh-puller and conscience. He makes sure his mountain-man companion is the stand-up guy Sven knows and loves, and does so without saying a word. A few emphatic snorts usually get his point across. Life would be perfect if only Kristoff would lose that ridiculous reindeer voice he likes to use when speaking for Sven (as if reindeers really talk that way).

Dax Shepard And Kristen Bell Celebrate The End Of DOMA With Twitter Proposal

June 27, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Kristen-Bell-and-Dax-Shepard
There was a lot to cheer yesterday when the US Supreme Court struck down key parts of DOMA (the Defense Of Marriage Act), meaning that the United States Federal Goverment could no longer deny  benefits to same sex couple who were legally married. They also refused to hear a case involving Prop 8, the ordinance that banned equal marriage in California, meaning that same sex weddings are likely to begin there again soon.

One couple who were celebrating were Dax Shepard and Kristen Bell, who’ve long been staunch supporters of gay marriage and vowed not to marry themselves until that right was also extended to gay couples.

After the rulings, Bell tweeted, ‘.@daxshepard1 will you marry me? Xo #marriageequality #loveislove’

While gay marriage still isn’t legal throughout the US, Bell obviously feels the SCOTUS decisions are strong enough that she can now marry Shepard with a clear conscience, especially now that the way has been cleared for gay people in California to marry.

Indeed, many now see equal marriage as somewhat of an inevitability throughout the US. There are still numerous obstacles to that, not least that while 13 states allow same sex marriage, there are more than that which specifically proscribe it, often within their individual constitutions. That’s not a  complete block, as some states that once had bans (such as Connecticut) now allow same sex marriage, while others that specifically ban same sex marriage are on the road to overturning that, by retaining a ban on the word marriage but providing unions with rights similar to marriage.

Even Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia, who has long been the Court’s most unpleasant hater of all things gay has said he thinks equal marriage in the US is now inevitably, no matter how much he personally dislikes that.

And with Dax Shepard and Kristen Bell now likely to marry, will Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie now follow suit? They previously said they were waiting for equal marriage but that was getting more difficult to hold to. Perhaps now they’ll decide the time is right.

Frozen hits cinema on December 6th,  2013, and now Disney has released our first look at the film in the form of a trailer (and five images), which suggest they’re going for a look very similar to Tangled.
