Christine Trailer – Rebecca Hall takes on an infamous on-air suicide

September 18, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

christine-slideOver the years there have been a few cases where someone has committed suicide live on air. The most famous cases are probably Bud Dwyer and Christine Chubbuck. Antonio Campos (Simon Killer) has taken on the latter story with Christine, which got tremendous reviews when it debuted as Sundance earlier this year.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Rebecca Hall stars in director Antonio Campos’ third feature film, CHRISTINE, the story of a woman who finds herself caught in the crosshairs of a spiraling personal life and career crisis. Christine, always the smartest person in the room at her local Sarasota, Florida news station, feels like she is destined for bigger things and is relentless in her pursuit of an on-air position in a larger market. As an aspiring newswoman with an eye for nuance and an interest in social justice, she finds herself constantly butting heads with her boss (Tracy Letts), who pushes for juicier stories that will drive up ratings.

‘Plagued by self-doubt and a tumultuous home life, Christine’s diminishing hope begins to rise when an on-air co-worker (Michael C. Hall) initiates a friendship which ultimately becomes yet another unrequited love. Disillusioned as her world continues to close in on her, Christine takes a dark and surprising turn.’ [Read more…]

Michael C. Hall Becomes Hedwig In A First Look Pic

October 7, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Hedwig-michael-c-hall-pic2Andrew Rannells run in Hedwig & The Angry Inch on Broadway is coming to a close in just a few days time and Dexter star Michael C. Hall is in the wings ready to take over.

The first pics of the actor all glittered up for the role have now arrived, and you can see them above and below.

Hall’s run in the show starts on October 16th and goes through to January 4th. It’s the first time the actor has been on the stage since he starred in Chicago back in 2002, so we’d imagine there are a few nerves behind the scenes, although he does seem like a great choice for the role of the transgender rocker.

With Hedwig & The Angry Inch still packing them in on the Great White Way, we’ll have to wait and see who’s next to step into her glamorous shoes.

Michael C. Hall Set To Be Broadway’s Next Hedwig

September 8, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

michael-c-hall-hedwig-slideWhat was initially thought to be a limited run for Hedwig & The Angry Inch on Broadway is fast becoming a bit of a long-runner, with actors lining up to take on the show’s title role. It’s not surprising there are plenty interested in following in Neil Patrick Harris and Andrew Rannells’ footsteps, as Hedwig allows them to rock out and be outrageous in a show that’s completely centred around them.

So who will take over when Rannells’ run ends? It’s been announced that it’s be none other than Dexter himself, Michael C. Hall, who steps back into the world of LGBT after his great gay character in Six Feet Under.

Hall will play the role from October 16th through to January 4th at Broadway’s Belasco Theater.

While the actor made his name in theatre before Six Feet Under, but he hasn’t had been on the stage since playing Billy Flynn in Chicago back in 2002.

Now we just want to see what he looks like in the Hedwig makeup.

Kill Your Darlings (DVD)

April 21, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Starring: Daniel Radcliffe, Dane DeHaan, Ben Foster, Michael C. Hall, Jack Huston
Director: John Krokidas
Running Time: 104 mins
Certificate: 15
Release Date: April 21st 2014 (UK)

When reading the press surrounding Kill Your Darlings, you could have been forgiven for thinking it was a movie all about Harry Potter having bum sex. Half the questions Daniel Radcliffe and director John Krokidas were asked seemed to be about the sex scene. However that’s only a very small part of the movie, and while Radcliffe does indeed get bummed, it’s merely part of a montage rather than anything with a big fanfare.

The movie is actually about some of the Beat generation writers and their brethren before they became well known, following one of the infamous events that helped shape who they were. Radcliffe plays Allen Ginsberg, who would go on to be the openly gay man behind the wonderful Howl. He heads to Columbia University, where he immediately riles against the college’s old fashioned attitude to literature and poetry. [Read more…]

Full Kill Your Darlings Trailer – Daniel Radcliffe falls into a strange beat-generation world

August 29, 2013 By Tim Isaac 1 Comment


A few weeks ago a brief 30-second trailer snippet for Kill Your Darlings emerged, followed yesterday by a minute-long clip. Now a full trailer has popped up online, giving us our best look yet at the movie. However like many mainstream promos for films that take in gay-themes, it only hints at the homo underpinnings of the story.

Based on a true story, Kill Your Darlings charts how a murder helped shape the lives of a group of young men who went on to become the beat generation. Chronicle star DeHaan plays Lucien Carr, the man who introduced Howl writer Allen Ginsberg (Radcliffe) to the likes of William S. Burroughs (Ben Foster) and Jack Kerouac (Jack Huston).

During these early, hedonistic days, a man called David Kammerer (Michael C. Hall) fell for Carr, with his infatuation becoming increasingly obsessive and unhinged – the gay Ginsberg once discovered Kammerer trying to murder Jack Kerouac’s cat. It eventually resulted in Carr stabbing Kammerer to death him and going to prison for his murder. The violent event is said to have indelibly changed all the people involved and etched its way into the published works of the Beat writers.

At the film’s Sundance debut, there was much talk about Radcliffe’s gay sex scene in the movie, so don’t worry, the film will be a lot gayer than the trailer. The film’s out in the US on October 18th, with a November 8th UK date set. [Read more…]

New Kill Your Darlings Trailer – Daniel Radcliffe is very impressed by Dane Dehaan

August 4, 2013 By Tim Isaac 1 Comment

Many times with films that have gay themes (and which are looking for a mainstream audience), there’s a tendency to shy away from suggesting there’s anything LGBT about the movie in the trailer. However even in this new 30-second promo for Kill Your Darlings they’re not hiding the fact Daniel Radcliffe’s character is rather impressed by Dane DeHaan.

However if you were hoping for the gay sex scene that got everyone talking at Sundance, you’re gonna have to look elsewhere.

Kill Your Darlings charts how a murder helped shape the lives of a group of young men who went on to become the beat generation. Chronicle star DeHaan plays Lucien Carr, the man who introduced Howl writer Allen Ginsberg (Daniel Radcliffe) to the likes of William S. Burroughs (Ben Foster) and Jack Kerouac (Jack Huston).
