Milo Ventimiglia, Stanley Tucci & Anne Heche Feel The Heat

April 12, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

milo-ventimiglia If you said to most people that they’re remaking Heat, they’d think of the 1995 De Niro and Pacino starrer directed by Michael Mann, but the one that’s being planned is a do-over of a 1986 Burt Reynolds with the same name.

Jason Statham’s already signed on, with Deadline reporting that he’s now been joined by Stanley Tucci, Anne Heche, Cedric The Entertainer, Hope Davis and Milo Ventimiglia. Sophia Vergara, Michael Angarano, and Dominik Garcia-Lorido have previously signed up.

The original Heat starred Burt Reynolds as an enforcer who takes on protection jobs to support his burgeoning gambling addiction. The plot thickens when his friend is badly beaten by the mob, and he vows to take on the mafia organisation.

William Goldman, who wrote the novel and the screenplay adaptation for the original thriller, is on board to pen the remake, with Simon West directing.

Parker Posey & Milo Ventimiglia Up For Grace of Monaco

September 21, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

The cast for Grace Of Monaco already includes Nicole Kidman, Tim Roth, Frank Langella and Paz Vega, and now Variety reports its grown with the addition of Parker Posey, while Heroes star Milo Ventimiglia is also in talks to appear in the movie.

The film concentrates on the time when Monaco was in a conflict with France, and Grace Kelly (Kidman), who by then had given up acting and was the small country’s princess, worked to prevent a coup after French president Charles de Gaulle handed Grace’s husband Crown Prince Rainier (Roth) a six-month deadline to reform Monaco’s financial laws and status as an extreme tax haven.

Posey is set to play Madge Tivey-Faucon, who was Kelly’s lady-in-waiting. Tivey-Faucon was apparently a ruthless social climber who couldn’t wait to sell unflattering tell-alls to the French press once she left Kelly’s employ. Ventimiglia is likely to play Kelly’s publicist, Rupert Allan.

The movie is set to start shooting soon, with Olivier Dahan directing.

The Divide (Cinema)

April 18, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Starring: Lauren German, Milo Ventimiglia, Michael Biehn, Rosanna Arquette
Director: Xavier Gens
Running Time: 112 mins
Certificate: 18
Release Date: April 20th, 2012

I think it’s safe to say that if you want a nice, jolly couple of hours, The Divide probably isn’t the best movie to watch. It’s dark, relentlessly pessimistic, often unpleasant and more than a little depressing. It’s certainly not completely without merit, but it ain’t fun.

In the great, no fuss opening, a nuclear explosion is tearing through New York City and a group of random people race for the safety of a basement/slash bomb shelter. The owner of the basement, Mickey (Michael Biehn), doesn’t want them down there, but with radiation swirling above, he doesn’t have much choice. [Read more…]

Young Actors Sought For Die Hard 5

October 22, 2011 By Movie Muser Leave a Comment

Yesterday, we brought you news that 20th Century Fox has set a Valentine’s Day 2013 release date for the fifth Die Hard flick, A Good Day to Die Hard. We also got a bit more info about the plot, which involves Bruce Willis’ John McClane heading to Russia to help his son.

Now Variety reports that Fox is already eyeing up actors as potential people to fill the role of McLane Jr, with Aaron Paul, Ben Foster, Paul Dano, and Milo Ventimiglia all set to test for the role next week. Fox has also reportedly shown interest in Paul Walker, although he is not expected to test for the role. However this isn’t just about finding someone to fill a supporting role like Justin Long did in Die Hard 4.0, as it’s being suggest that this character may end up carrying the franchise in future sequels.

As we said yesterday, A Good Day To Die Hard follows John McLane Moscow, where he tries sweet talk some cops into letting his apparently-wayward son out of jail. However, when he gets there, the events surrounding his son’s arrest aren’t what they appear and world-threatening terrorist hijinks ensue.

John Moore is directing A Good Day to Die Hard from a screenplay by Skip Woods with shooting expected to start early next year.
