Sin City: A Dame to Kill For Trailer – Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Lady Gaga & more enter the hyper-stylised world

June 11, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

If all had been as we were first promised, we’d have been watching Sin City: A Dame To Kill For on 2006. But for various reasons the film was delayed, to the point where many had given up hope. Now it’s coming and we’ve got the first full trailer.

The sequel features the return of Sin City stars Mickey Rourke, Jessica Alba, Bruce Willis and Rosario Dawson, along with newcomers such as Jamie Chung, Alexa Vega, Lady Gaga, Josh Brolin (taking over Clive Owen’s role), Ray Liotta, Marton Csokas, Eva Green and Joseph Gordon-Levitt.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Co-directors Robert Rodriguez and Frank Miller reunite to bring Miller’s visually stunning “Sin City” graphic novels back to the screen in SIN CITY: A DAME TO KILL FOR. Weaving together two of Miller’s classic stories with new tales, the town’s most hard boiled citizens cross paths with some of its more reviled inhabitants. SIN CITY: A DAME TO KILL FOR is the follow up to Rodriguez and Miller’s 2005 groundbreaking film, FRANK MILLER’S SIN CITY.’

It’s out in the US on August 22nd and in the UK on August 29th. [Read more…]

The Equalizer Trailer – Denzel Washington Helps Chloe Moretz take on the Russian mob

May 26, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Sony is pretty confident about The Equalizer. It doesn’t arrive in cinemas until September in the US (and October 10th in the UK), but they’re already developing a sequel.

Of course the sequel is reliant on the first movie being a success. Now we can get a proper feel for the movie with a trailer.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Starring Denzel Washington, it tells the story of a former black ops commando who faked his death and is now living a quiet life and returns to action to rescue a prostitute from evil pimps; his actions cause the Russian mob to send rogue CIA agents to kill him; he battles back against overwhelming odds, defeating them and becoming “The Equalizer.”’

Richard Wenk (16 Blocks) wrote the screenplay, based on the hit TV series The Equalizer, which ran for four seasons between 1985 and 1989.

May 18, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Marton-Csokas After years of trying, it seems like the film adaptation of The Equalizer is finally going to happen, with Marton Csokas (Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter) signing on to play the main villain, opposite Denzel Washington and Chloe Moretz.

Washington will play Robert McCall, a former intelligence officer who now lives a solitary existence while holding down a job at Home Depot. He is forced to spring back into action when an act of kindness towards a teenage prostitute (Chloe Moretz) lands him in hot water with the Russian mafia. Marton Csokas will play a deadly fixer for the Russian mob.

Antoine Fuqua is set direct from a screenplay by Richard Wenk (The Expendables 2). The movie is based on the 1980s TV series The Equalizer, starring Edward Woodward. Production is scheduled to begin this summer in Boston.

Dream House (DVD)

April 16, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Starring: Daniel Craig, Rachel Weisz, Naomi Watts, Marton Csokas
Director: Jim Sheridan
Running Time: 88 mins
Certificate: 15
Release Date: April 16th, 2012

If you read a lot of the reviews of Dream House on its cinema release, you might be expecting the film to be an absolute stinker. Pretty much disowned by its cast and director, and pilloried by the critics, the film’s not had a lot of luck. However, while it’s certainly not a great thriller, it’s a lot better than you might expect.

Daniel Craig plays Will Atenton, who moves into a seemingly idyllic small-town home with his wife (Rachel Weisz) and two daughters. However their apparently perfect new life begins to fracture when they discover their house was the site of a family massacre five years before. Teens hold séances in the basement and there are rumours that the killer may have returned. And then there’s the next door neighbour, Ann (Naomi Watts), who appears to know more than she’s letting on to. [Read more…]

Nikki Reed & Stephen Lang Join Pawn

December 2, 2011 By Movie Muser Leave a Comment

A couple of days ago it was revealed that Michael Chiklis and Forest Whitaker were set to star in an indie thriller called Pawn. Now the cast has got a whole lot bigger, with a few interesting names added to the mix. THR reports that Nikki Reed, Sean Faris, Stephen Lang, Marton Csokas, Jessica Szohr and Jonathan Bennett have all joined the movie.

Hopefully Lang has been given a role that isn’t the same grumpy character he’s played in everything from Avatar and Conan to TV’s Terra Nova, but we wouldn’t bet on it.

David A. Armstrong will direct a screenplay from Jay Anthony White, which centres on an ex-con who gets caught up in a hostage situation gone terribly awry, where he has to fend off the local police, FBI agents, and the mob.

Michael Chiklis will also make his feature producing debut with the film. Shooting starts soon.
