First Look At A Shirtless Michael Fassbender In Jo Nesbo’s The Snowman

February 2, 2017 By Tim Isaac 1 Comment

Author Jo Nesbo has sold millions of novels, but while his works have been made into Scandinavian TV shows and movies, he’s only just now making the jump to Hollywood. It’s with an adaptation The Snowman, featuring Nesbo most popular character, detective Harry Hole.

Michael Fassbender is set to play the main character, and now the first picture of him in the role has arrived via Total Film.

Joe Nesbo’s novel follows Oslo detective Hole, a loose cannon who is investigating the disappearance of a woman, whose pink scarf is found wrapped around a sinister-looking snowman. The hope is that this will be the start of a franchise, as Hole has been part of numerous Nesbo books. Rebecca Ferguson, J.K. Simmons, Chloë Sevigny, Charlotte Gainsbourg, Val Kilmer, James D’Arcy, and Toby Jones also star, with Tomas Alfredson directing. The film is due out in November.

Alien: Covenant Trailer – The xenomorphs are back and ready to kill

December 26, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Following the muted and somewhat confused reaction to Prometheus, 20th Century Fox has been keen to show the follow-up will be something more familiar. The Alien name has returned, the promise has been made that the better known elements of the franchise will be back, and now the first trailer is here to back that up.

There’s a bit of gore, chestbursters, eggs, people being terrified in spaceships, and, of course, the aliens themselves.

Here’s the brief synopsis: ‘Set as the second chapter in a prequel trilogy that began with Prometheus, Alien: Covenant connects directly to Ridley Scott’s 1979 seminal work of science fiction. It begins with the colony ship Covenant, bound for a remote planet on the far side of the galaxy. There, the crew discovers what they think is an uncharted paradise, but is actually a dark, dangerous world — whose sole inhabitant is the “synthetic” David, survivor of the doomed Prometheus expedition.’

The movie will be in cinemas next May. [Read more…]

Trespass Against Us Trailer – Michael Fassbender wants out of the outlaw life

September 24, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

trespass-against-us-slideMichael Fassbender plays so many role where he had to use accents, it sometimes a surprise when you hear him speak with his own natural Irish brogue. However, he gets to use it in Trespass Against Us, set amongst the Irish traveller community living in Britain.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Trespass Against Us is set across three generations of the Cutler family who live as outlaws in their own anarchic corner of Britain’s richest countryside. Chad Cutler (Michael Fassbender) is heir apparent to his bruising criminal father, Colby (Brendan Gleeson) and has been groomed to spend his life hunting, thieving and tormenting the police. But with his own son, Tyson (Georgie Smith) coming of age, Chad soon finds himself locked in a battle with his father for the future of his young family. When Colby learns of Chad’s dreams for another life he sets out to tie his son and grandson into the archaic order that has bound the Cutler family for generations. He engineers a spectacular piece of criminal business involving a heist, a high-speed car chase and a manhunt, which leaves Chad bruised and bloodied and with his very freedom at stake.’

There’s no release date current set. Take a look at the trailer below. [Read more…]

X-Men: Apocalypse (Cinema Review)

May 19, 2016 By BigGayPictureShow Leave a Comment

Starring: James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender, Jennifer Lawrence, Oscar Isaac
Director: Bryan Singer
Running Time: 142 mins
Certificate: 12A
Release Date: 20th May 2016 (UK)

I’ve been a big fan of the X-Men ever since watching the Saturday morning cartoons many years ago, and I have been waiting for the films to introduce Apocalypse and do justice to one of his storylines. X-Men (2000) is seen as the birth of the modern comic book movie and still holds up today as a great film. Seven franchise entries later (excluding Deadpool (2016)) and it’s no surprise that the films have varied in quality.

X-Men: Days of Future Past (2014) was great as it combined the worlds of the original trilogy and the X-Men: First Class (2011), with older and younger actors portraying different versions of their characters and a time traveling plot with peril for both mutants and humans. But it did lose me with the plastic sentinels with plastic bullets, and presumably plastic processors and wires. Also the ending didn’t make much sense, until you realised that it combined two separate timelines and ended up with four. [Read more…]

Assassin’s Creed Trailer – Michael Fassbender unlocks genetic memories of an anti-Templar past

May 12, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

assassins-creed-slideVideogames-to-movies don’t have a great reputation, but that’s partly because the resulting film are often cheesy and have a slightly cheap, churned-out feeling. However Fox seems to be really hoping to change that with Assassin’s Creed by spending a lot of money, bringing together a great cast, a director with great dramatic credentials and ensuring the whole thing looks really good.

Now they’ve released the first trailer, trying to get interest brewing even though the actual movie isn’t due out until next year.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Through a revolutionary technology that unlocks his genetic memories, Callum Lynch (Michael Fassbender) experiences the adventures of his ancestor, Aguilar, in 15th Century Spain. Callum discovers he is descended from a mysterious secret society, the Assassins, and amasses incredible knowledge and skills to take on the oppressive and powerful Templar organization in the present day.

Final X-Men: Apocalypse Trailer – Can a mutant destroy the entire world?

April 25, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

x-men-apocalypse-slideIn just a few weeks the mutants are returning and facing the awesome power of Apocalypse – an ancient mutant who is so powerful he has been worshipped as a god, and who isn’t impressed with the modern world. The final trailer is here to suggest this is going to be pretty epic.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Following the critically acclaimed global smash hit X-Men: Days of Future Past, director Bryan Singer returns with X-MEN: APOCALYPSE. Since the dawn of civilization, he was worshipped as a god. Apocalypse, the first and most powerful mutant from Marvel’s X-Men universe, amassed the powers of many other mutants, becoming immortal and invincible. Upon awakening after thousands of years, he is disillusioned with the world as he finds it and recruits a team of powerful mutants, including a disheartened Magneto (Michael Fassbender), to cleanse mankind and create a new world order, over which he will reign. As the fate of the Earth hangs in the balance, Raven (Jennifer Lawrence) with the help of Professor X (James McAvoy) must lead a team of young X-Men to stop their greatest nemesis and save mankind from complete destruction.’

It’ll be in cinemas on May 18th. [Read more…]
