Terminal Trailer – Margot Robbie, Mike Myers & Simon Pegg star in the neo-noir

March 29, 2018 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Terminal certainly looks like it’s going to be completely insane, but it could also be a great showcase for Margot Robbie’s talents, with the Aussie actress putting on her best British accent for the neo-noir. She’s part of a great cast that also includes Mike Myers, Simon Pegg, Max Irons and Dexter Fletcher.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘In the dark heart of a sprawling, anonymous city, TERMINAL follows the twisting tales of two assassins carrying out a sinister mission, a teacher battling a fatal illness, an enigmatic janitor and a curious waitress leading a dangerous double life. Murderous consequences unravel in the dead of night as their lives all intertwine at the hands of a mysterious criminal mastermind hell-bent on revenge.’

The trailer for the movie has arrived, which you can take a look at below. No UK release dates are currently set. [Read more…]

Max Irons Lets The World Know He Wasn’t Impressed With His Dad Jeremy Irons’ Gay Marriage Comments

March 18, 2015 By Tim Isaac 2 Comments

A couple of years ago Oscar-winning actor Jeremy Irons rightly came in for a lot of criticism for comments he made to Huffpo live about gay marriage, where he suggested he thought it would allow fathers to marry their sons in order to avoid inheritance tax.

It’s taken a while, but now someone has asked what his actor son, Max Irons (Red Riding Hood, The Host, The Riot Club), what he thought about what his father said.

What Jeremy said back in 2013 was, “Could a father not marry his son?”

When it was pointed out that gay marriage wouldn’t legalise incest, he answered, “It’s not incest between men”, as “incest is there to protect us from inbreeding, but men don’t breed.” This led to him worrying fathers will marry sons just for the tax breaks, although it does seem that he genuinely believed incest between a father and son isn’t illegal (which is rather worrying).

He also added, “It seems to me that now they’re fighting for the name. I worry that it means somehow we debase, or we change, what marriage is. I just worry about that.”

Max though wasn’t impressed, telling OUT that after hearing about his dad’s comments, “I remember thinking, ‘You don’t know what you’re talking about, you’re thinking about a problem out loud.’ I know my father, I know his views are similar to mine. As long as you don’t harm anyone else, what you do and who you love are nobody’s business. He has since clarified as far as I understand, and truth be told, if you pushed him to explain what he was talking about, I don’t think he’d actually know.”

He also quips, “Well my father hasn’t proposed to me lately.”

New The Riot Club Clip – Sam Claflin is ready for his initiation

September 2, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

The play Posh was a huge success after it premiered at the Royal Court Theatre in London in 2010, before transferring to the West End. Now it’s getting the movie treatment, under the title The Riot Club, with a cast full of bright young things including the likes of Sam Claflin, Max Irons and Douglas Booth.

Now a new clip has arrived which shows Claflin getting initiated into the titular club with a very nasty drink. It’s not exactly the sort of club I’d like to initiate Claflin into, although I wouldn’t mind if Douglas Booth was involved as he is here.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Set amongst the privileged elite of Oxford University, THE RIOT CLUB follows Miles (Max Irons) and Alistair (Sam Claflin), two first year students determined to join the infamous Riot Club, where reputations can be made or destroyed over the course of a single evening. THE RIOT CLUB is directed by Lone Scherfig, who most recently helmed ‘One Day’, and the Best Picture Academy Award nominee ‘An Education’. It is produced by Pete Czernin and Graham Broadbent of Blueprint Pictures (‘The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel’, ‘Seven Psychopaths’).Screenwriter Laura Wade has adapted her critically-acclaimed play, ‘Posh’, with development support from the BFI Film Fund and Film4.’

The Riot Club premieres at TIFF this Sunday before it’s UK release on September 19th. [Read more…]

May 15, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

The Riot Club (previously) known as POSH, certainly has an attractive cast of young guys, but that doesn’t mean the movie will be any good. However now we have a taste with a trailer and poster.

February 28, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

In 2010 The Royal Court Theatre in London had a major success with Laura Wade’s Posh, which premiered at the venue and then transferred to the West End.

The first images from the movie have been released, which you can see below (click on them for larger versions).

Tim Roth & Gemma Arterton Find The Keys To The Street, From A Christopher Nolan Script

September 10, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

For the last decade or so Christopher Nolan has gone from unknown to one of the most powerful directors on the planet, but it should always be remembered that he’s had a hand in the script for all his movies (often working alongside his brother, Jonah).

Now he’s written something for someone else to helm, alongside co-writer Michael Stokes. The Keys To The Street is based on a Ruth Rendell novel, with Variety reporting that Gemma Arterton and Tim Roth are set to star.

The Amazon plot description of the novel says, ‘For the snobbish, upper-crust that live around London’s Regent’s Park, the homeless are an eye-sore and a nuisance. Only Mary Jargo (Arterton), a meek, sensitive young woman who has recently moved into the neighborhood to house-sit shows compassion. She often shares food and conversation with the unfortunates, particularly Effie, Dill, Roman, and Pharaoh. When someone starts murdering members of Regent’s homeless community and lancing them on the spiked fencing that encloses the park, only Mary seems to notice or care. Through her quest to discover the murderer, she embarks on a journey to overcome what she perceives to be her own insecurities and passivity.’

Roth will play Mary’s psychotic ex-boyfriend, with Max Irons also on-board as a man that Mary has an affair with

Knowing Nolan, he’ll have made the material his own, even if he’s handed the helming reigns to Czech director Julius Sevcik, who plans to shoot the movie early next year.

The Host (Blu-ray)

July 29, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Starring: Saoirse Ronan, Max Irons, Jake Abel, Diane Kruger, William Hurt
Director: Andrew Niccol
Running Time: 125 mins
Certificate: 12
Release Date: July 29th 2013

After the success of Twilight, it was little surprise that a movie version of Stephenie Meyer’s The Host was put into the works. It seemed to bode well when Truman Show and In Time scribe Andrew Niccol was hired to write and direct, as he’s got a good track record when it comes to somewhat cerebral sci-fi. However the end result is rather underwhelming – not bad, but far from great. [Read more…]

New Trailer For The Host – Sci-fi & action in the Stephenie Meyer adaptation

February 15, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Previous looks at The Host have deliberately made it look like the new Twilight, which isn’t surprising considering it’s also based on a novel by Stephenie Meyers. However this new trailer allows it to be its own beast, playing up the sci-fi and action more than the romance.

In The Host, our world has been invaded by an unseen enemy. Humans become hosts for these invaders, their minds taken over while their bodies remain intact. Most of humanity has succumbed, including Soarise Ronan’s main character, Melanie Stryder. However while normally the human is completely subdued by their host, in Melanie’s case, her personality flashes through, intriguing her Host, known as Wanda, and setting them off on a quest to find the last free humans. Ronan, Jake Abel, Max Irons and William Hurt star in the movie.

The film hits cinemas in both the UK and US on March 29th.
