Fahrenheit 451 Trailer – Michael B Jordan & Michael Shannon star in the new take on Ray Bradbury’s classic

April 8, 2018 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Ray Bradbury’s Fahrenheit 451 is undoubtedly a classic, which was previously turned into a film in 1966 by Francois Truffaut starring Oskar Werner and Julie Christie. Now it’s getting a new movie version from 99 Homes helmer Ramin Bahrani.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Starring Michael B. Jordan and Michael Shannon, Fahrenheit 451 is based on Ray Bradbury’s classic novel. In a future where the media is an opiate, history is rewritten and “firemen” burn books, Jordan plays Montag, a young fireman who struggles with his role as law enforcer. Battling his mentor, fire captain Beatty, played by Shannon, he forsakes his world in an effort to regain his humanity.’

Rather than coming to cinemas, the movie with first screen on HBO in the US on May 19th. It’s not clear how/when we’ll get it in the UK. [Read more…]

A Great Cast Unites For Some Black Panther Character Posters

November 11, 2017 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Thor: Ragnarok may be tearing up the box office at the moment, but Marvel doesn’t want us to forget that it’s just a few months until they’ve got another movie in cinemas that looks like it’s gonna be a winner – Black Panther. To help us get to know the characters, a set of really nice character posters have been released.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Marvel Studios’ “Black Panther” follows T’Challa who, after the death of his father, the King of Wakanda, returns home to the isolated, technologically advanced African nation to succeed to the throne and take his rightful place as king. But when a powerful old enemy reappears, T’Challa’s mettle as king—and Black Panther—is tested when he is drawn into a formidable conflict that puts the fate of Wakanda and the entire world at risk. Faced with treachery and danger, the young king must rally his allies and release the full power of Black Panther to defeat his foes and secure the safety of his people and their way of life.’

The film will be in cinemas next February. Take a look at the character posters below, and click here for the latest trailer. [Read more…]

Black Panther Teaser Trailer – Take a look at Marvel’s latest adventure

June 10, 2017 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

We first met Chadwick Boseman’s T’Challa / Black Panther in Captain America: Civil War. He’ll be back with his own standalone adventure early next year. Marvel has now released the first teaser trailer for the movie, which suggests he’s going to fit in well with their filmic universe as it introduces us to the mysterious world of Wakanda.

Creed (Blu-ray Review)

May 15, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Starring: Michael B. Jordan, Sylvester Stallone, Tessa Thompson, Phylicia Rashad, Tony Bellew
Director: Ryan Coogler
Running Time: 133 mins
Certificate: 12
Release Date: May 16th 2016 (UK)

A few years ago, pretty much everyone thought the Rocky franchise was dead, and that any attempt to resurrect it would be a pointless, awful cash-in. However, 2006’s Rocky Balboa proved there might be a little life left, and now Creed is cashing in on that promise.

Adonis Johnson (Michael B. Jordan) is the illegitimate offspring of Apollo Creed, who’s been trapped in foster homes and juvenile detention until he’s given a chance by Apollo’s widow (Phylicia Rashad), who decides to take him in. She also points him towards someone else from her husband’s past, Rocky Balboa (Sylvester Stallone), who reluctantly agrees to help train the young man and turn him into a boxer. [Read more…]

Michael B. Jordan Up For Marvel’s Black Panther

May 15, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

michael-b-jordanMarvel’s Black Panther will be the first mega-budget comic book movie led by a black superhero (and no, we’re not counting the likes of Blade as mega-budget), and the Comic Book company is certainly keen to pull together a great cast for the movie. Chadwick Boseman has already been seen as the title character in Captain America: Civil War, with Lupita Nyong’o in talks to join him, while Andy Serkis will be the villain and it’s also believed Martin Freeman’s government agent Everett Ross will show up.

Now, THR reports that Michael B. Jordan may be jumping from Fox’s Fantastic Four into Marvel’s own movie’s universe, as he’s now set to appear in Black Panther. It’s not known who he will play, but at least one source says he will be a bad guy.

It will be the third time Jordan has worked with director Ryan Coogler, following Fruitvale Station and Creed. Black Panther will shoot early next year for release February 2018.

Michael B. Jordan Planning Remake Of The Thomas Crown Affair

February 24, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

michael-b-jordanIt’s deja vu all over again, as while the classic 1968 movie The Thomas Crown Affair was remake with Pierce Brosnan in the lead role in 1999, it looks like it’s getting another do-over. THR reports that Michael B. Jordan is hoping to star in a new version of the story, with MGM backing the film.

Assuming it follows the story of the original, Creed and Fantastic Four star Jordan will be ‘a wealthy businessman who conducted robberies on the side. When an insurance investigator… starts to track him down, the two begin an affair even as Crown plans another heist.’

The remake was apparently Jordan’s idea, and MGM seems to like it. However it’s very early days as no writers or a director are attached as yet. It’s also proof that Hollywood sees a big future for the young actor.

New Creed Trailer – The Rocky Saga gets a fresh start with Michael B. Jordan

September 15, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

creed-new-slideThe Rocky films are going in a new direction that could potentially spin-off into a franchise of its own with Creed, which follow he son of the famed Apollo Creed, who ends being coached by Rocky Balboa himself.

To give us a fresh taste, a new trailer has arrived.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Adonis Johnson (Jordan) never knew his famous father, world heavyweight champion Apollo Creed, who died before he was born. Still, there’s no denying that boxing is in his blood, so Adonis heads to Philadelphia, the site of Apollo Creed’s legendary match with a tough upstart named Rocky Balboa.

‘Once in the City of Brotherly Love, Adonis tracks Rocky (Stallone) down and asks him to be his trainer. Despite his insistence that he is out of the fight game for good, Rocky sees in Adonis the strength and determination he had known in Apollo—the fierce rival who became his closest friend. Agreeing to take him on, Rocky trains the young fighter, even as the former champ is battling an opponent more deadly than any he faced in the ring.

‘With Rocky in his corner, it isn’t long before Adonis gets his own shot at the title… but can he develop not only the drive but also the heart of a true fighter, in time to get into the ring?’

The movie will be in UK cinemas early next year. [Read more…]
