Mary Queen of Scots Trailer – Saoirse Ronan & Margot Robbie get Elizabethan

By Leave a Comment

Synopsis: ‘“Mary Queen of Scots” explores the turbulent life of the charismatic Mary Stuart. Queen of France at 16 and widowed at 18, Mary defies pressure to remarry. Instead, she returns to her native Scotland to reclaim her rightful throne. But Scotland and England fall under the rule of the compelling Elizabeth I. Each young Queen beholds her “sister” in fear and fascination.

‘Rivals in power and in love, and female regents in a masculine world, the two must decide how to play the game of marriage versus independence. Determined to rule as much more than a figurehead, Mary asserts her claim to the English throne, threatening Elizabeth’s sovereignty. Betrayal, rebellion, and conspiracies within each court imperil both thrones – and change the course of history.’

Josie Rourke directs Saoirse Ronan and Margot Robbie in the movie, which is due in cinemas 18th January 2019. Take a look at the trailer below. [Read more…]

I, Tonya Trailer – Margot Robbie & Sebastian Stan get involved in violent sabotage

By 1 Comment

In the 1990s Tonya Harding was a top figure skater, but rather than her achievments on the ice, she’s now mainly remembered for being linked to an attack on her rival, Nancy Kerrigan, who was her main competition on the US team. Margot Robbie is now bringing the story to life with I, Tonya, which has released its first full trailer.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Based on unbelievable but true events, I, TONYA is the darkly comedic tale of American figure skater Tonya Harding and one of the most sensational scandals in sports history. Though Harding was the first American woman to complete a triple axel in competition, her legacy has forever been defined by her association with an infamous, ill-conceived and worse-executed attack on fellow Olympic competitor Nancy Kerrigan. Featuring an iconic turn by Margot Robbie as the fiery Harding, a mustachioed Sebastian Stan as her impetuous ex-husband Jeff Gillooly, a tour-de-force performance from Allison Janney as her acid-tongued mother LaVona Golden, and an original screenplay by Steven Rogers, Craig Gillespie’s I, TONYA is an absurd, irreverent, and piercing portrayal of Harding’s life and career in all of its unchecked––and checkered––glory.’

I, Tonya is getting an Oscar-qualifying run in New York and Los Angeles from December 8th, 2017. It should arrive in the UK early next year. Take a look at the teaser trailer below. [Read more…]

A sequel to Suicide Squad is already in the works, currently planned for release in 2019. However, Screen Rant has revealed that Warner Bros. is also planning to expand that part of the DC film universe with Harley Quinn Vs. the Joker.

It’s not even known when we might get to see the movie, although Warner/DC has announced a couple of release dates for films it hasn’t officially announced yet, so this may be one of those.

Margot Robbie Will Be Maid Marian In An Alternate Take On Robin Hood

By Leave a Comment

If you grew up in the UK in the 1980s you’ll probably remember Maid Marian & Her Merry Men, where it was Marian who was the brainy hero robbing from the rich to give to the poor, while Robin Hood was a bit of a dim and fey fellow, even if he ending up getting all the credit. It now seems Hollywood is keen on a similar idea, as THR reports that Sony has purchased Pete Barry’s spec script, Marian, which already has Margot Robbie attached to star.

It won’t be quite the same as Maid Marian & Her Merry Men though, as ‘Marian unfolds after the death of Robin Hood, the love of her life. The titular maiden then picks up his cause to lead her people into a pivotal war that will not only decide the fate of the kingdom, but also see her don the mantle of the man she loved. In the process, she rises as a legend herself.’

The film is one of several Robin Hood inspired tales Hollywood is making at the moment, with an origin story starring Taron Egerton, Jamie Foxx and Jamie Dornan due for release in early 2018, and visual effects supervisor Hasraf ‘HaZ’ Dulull due to shoot a futuristic, sci-fi version later this year.

Margot Robbie & David Ayer Reteaming For Harley Quinn Gotham City Sirens Film

By Leave a Comment

Earlier this year it was suggested that Warner/DC was developing a follow-up to Suicide Squad centred on a female group of villains, known as the Gotham CIty Sirens, with Margot Robbie attached to return as Harley Quinn. That’s now been confirmed, along with the news that Suicide Squad’s director, David Ayer, is now attached to produce and helm the film, according to THR.

Robbie got better reviews as Harley Quinn than Suicide Squad did as a whole, so it may be a good idea to give her a movie away from the team she was part of last summer. Alongside Quinn, THR suggest the film will include ‘Catwoman, Batman’s sometime love interest; and Poison Ivy, who uses plants and their toxins to get what she wants’. Batgirl and Birds of Prey have also been rumoured.

At the moment, it’s not known when we might see Gotham City Sirens. Warner is also said to be working on a proper Suicide Squad sequel (despite mixed reviews, the first film made $750 million worldwide suggesting an appetite for another movie), as well as considering a film built around Will Smith’s Deadshot. At the moment Sirens is likely to come first, but that may change.
