New Alice Through The Looking Glass Trailer – Back into Wonderland with Mia Wasikowska, Johnny Depp & co.

March 29, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

alice-through-the-looking-glass-slideSynopsis: ‘In Disney’s “Alice Through the Looking Glass,” an all-new spectacular adventure featuring the unforgettable characters from Lewis Carroll’s beloved stories, Alice returns to the whimsical world of Underland and travels back in time to save the Mad Hatter. Directed by James Bobin, who brings his own unique vision to the spectacular world Tim Burton created on screen in 2010 with “Alice in Wonderland,” the film is written by Linda Woolverton based on characters created by Lewis Carroll and produced by Joe Roth, Suzanne Todd and Jennifer Todd and Tim Burton with John G. Scotti serving as executive producer.

‘“Alice Through the Looking Glass” reunites the all-star cast from the worldwide blockbuster phenomenon, including: Johnny Depp, Anne Hathaway, Mia Wasikowska and Helena Bonham Carter along with the voices of Alan Rickman, Stephen Fry, Michael Sheen and Timothy Spall. We are also introduced to several new characters: Zanik Hightopp (Rhys Ifans), the Mad Hatter’s father and Time himself (Sacha Baron Cohen), a peculiar creature who is part human, part clock.

‘Alice Kingsleigh (Wasikowska) has spent the past few years following in her father’s footsteps and sailing the high seas. Upon her return to London, she comes across a magical looking glass and returns to the fantastical realm of Underland and her friends the White Rabbit (Sheen), Absolem (Rickman), the Cheshire Cat (Fry) and the Mad Hatter (Depp), who is not himself. The Hatter has lost his Muchness, so Mirana (Hathaway) sends Alice on a quest to borrow the Chronosphere, a metallic globe inside the chamber of the Grand Clock which powers all time. Returning to the past, she comes across friends – and enemies – at different points in their lives, and embarks on a perilous race to save the Hatter before time runs out. Presented in Digital 3D™, Real D 3D and IMAX® 3D, Disney’s “Alice Through the Looking Glass” opens in UK cinemas on May 27, 2016.’ [Read more…]

November 5, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

alice-through-the-looking-glass-trailer-slideEven Disney was surprised when Tim Burton’s Alice In Wonderland made over a billion dollars at the box office, but it ensured a sequel quickly went into pre-production.

Alice Through The Looking Glass Posters Emerge

August 16, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

alice-through-poster2Even Disney was surprised when its Tim Burton directed, live-action version of Alice In Wonderland broke a billion dollars at the worldwide box office. The studio quickly started thinking about a sequel, but it’s only now that it’s moving towards release – with Muppet Movie helmer James Bobin stepping in for Burton.

A couple of posters have now arrived for the movie, featuring the return of Mia Wasikowska’s Alice and Johnny Depp’s Mad Hatter.

Indeed, most of the original cast is returning, including Anne Hathaway, Helen Bonham Carter, Michael Sheen and Stephen Fry. The biggest edition is Sacha Baron Cohen as the evil Lord Of Time, who has a plan to turn Wonderland into a barren waste, which only Alice can stop.

The film is due out May 2016.

Crimson Peak Trailer – Into Guillermo Del Toro’s haunted house with Tom Hiddleston & Jessica Chastain

May 13, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

crimson-peak-pic2Normally you can’t keep Guillermo Del Toro from talking about his movies, but he’s been a tiny bit more secretive with Crimson Peak. But the shades of his haunted house are being pulled back with a new trailer.

As you’d expect from the director it certainly looks stylish with Tom Hiddleston, Jessica Chastain, Charlie Hunnam and Mia Wasikowska getting a little creepy.

February 14, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

crimson-peak-poster1Guillermo del Toro hasn’t released too much info on his new movie, Crimson Peak – initially just saying it was a haunted house film. However with the release approaching it’s time to give us a look with the first trailer.

Robert Pattinson & Carice Van Houten Join Guy Pearce In Brimstone

February 9, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Robert-PattinsonThere might have been a bit of a bromance on the set of The Rover, as Robert Pattinson and Guy Pearce are reteaming for Brimstone. Pearce and Wasikowska have previously been announced, but it’s only now we’ve heard that Pattinson & Carice Van Houten will join them.

The movie is a suspenseful tale of guilt and retribution that unfolds at the end of the 19th century.  It’s described as ‘a dark, violent and epic western about a young woman (and her family) whose lives change drastically when a diabolical preacher comes to town. From the moment the new reverend climbs the pulpit, Liz knows she and her family are in great danger.’

Martin Koolhoven, best known for his work on Winter in Wartime, is writing and directing the movie, which is set to shoot in May. The film is currently looking for buyers at the Berlin Film Festival.

Only Lovers Left Alive (Blu-ray Review)

September 15, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Starring: Tom Hiddleston, Tilda Swinton, Mia Wasikowska, Anton Yelchin, John Hurt
Director: Jim Jarmusch
Running Time: 123 mins
Certificate: 15
Release Date: September 15th 2014 (UK)

Like many Jim Jarmusch movies, Only Lovers Left Alive is the sort of film where one chunk of the audience will be wondering what sort of tedium they’ve just had to sit through and another chunk will be hailing it as a masterpiece. He is as impressively idiosyncratic director and his films determinedly refuse to be boxed. Many have described him as a cinematic poet, and it’s a very good description. What he’s great at is creating mood, feeling and thought, where narrative isn’t the driving force, it’s merely the thread that pulls the fabric together.

Tom Hiddleston is Adam, who’s living in Detroit making music but keen that nobody bothers him. That’s partly because he’s a vampire and hundreds of years old. He’s also depressed and filled with weariness at the direction mankind has taken and how it treats the promise it has, to the point whether he’s wondering if there’s any point living on to see the future.
