New Ocean’s Eight Trailer – Sandra Bullock leads a star-studded female team on a heist

April 15, 2018 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Synopsis: ‘Sandra Bullock, Cate Blanchett, Anne Hathaway, Mindy Kaling, Sarah Paulson, Awkwafina, Rihanna and Helena Bonham Carter team up in the action adventure Ocean’s 8. Five years, eight months, 12 days…and counting. That’s how long Debbie Ocean (Sandra Bullock) has been devising the biggest heist of her life.

‘She knows what it’s going to take—a team of the best in their field, starting with her partner-in-crime Lou Miller (Cate Blanchett). Together, they recruit a crew of specialists: jeweller Amita (Kaling); street con Constance (Awkwafina); expert fence Tammy (Paulson); hacker Nine Ball (Rihanna); and fashion designer Rose (Bonham Carter). The target is a cool $150 million dollars in diamonds—diamonds that will be around the neck of world-famous actress Daphne Kluger (Hathaway), who will be centerstage at the event of the year, the Met Gala.

‘The plan is rock solid, but everything will need to be flawless if the team is going to get in and get away with the ice. All in plain sight. “Ocean’s 8” also stars James Corden as an insurance investigator trying to put the pieces together, and Richard Armitage as Kluger’s unwitting date at the Gala.’

The film hits UK cinemas on 22nd June. Take a look at the new trailer below. [Read more…]

A Wrinkle in Time (Cinema Review) – Disney magic or misfire?

March 22, 2018 By George Elcombe Leave a Comment

Starring: Storm Reid, Reese Witherspoon, Oprah Winfrey, Mindy Kaling, Chris Pine
Director: Ana DuVernay
Running Time: 109 mins
Certificate: PG
Release Date: March 23rd 2018 (UK)

Disney are having a huge amount of financial and critical success with live action remakes of their classic animated features, but not so much with original properties. For example, I was hyped at the prospect of Tomorrowland (2015), but was disappointed with the result and, unsurprisingly, it was a flop. This is a shame as big studios with big budgets need to take risks in order to bring fresh stories to the screen. There are successes such as Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl (2003), but also some misfires along the way and unfortunately this movie is one of them.

A Wrinkle in Time is apparently a passion project for director Ava DuVernay who has been developing it for a number of years. It is based on a bestselling book series which I have never heard of. Maybe it’s that the book was huge in America or that I’ve never heard of it simply due to the fact it hasn’t already been translated to the big screen before. [Read more…]

New A Wrinkle In Time Trailer – Oprah, Reese Witherspoon & Chris Pine star in Ana DuVernay’s family adventure

January 23, 2018 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

With its first teaser trailer, A Wrinkle In Time suggested it might be something unusual and rather special. That feeling has continued to grow as we’ve seen more of the movie, with hints that this could be a ‘kid’s film’ that’s intense, beautiful and very entertaining.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘From visionary director Ava DuVernay comes Disney’s “A Wrinkle in Time,” an epic adventure based on Madeleine L’Engle’s timeless classic which takes audiences across dimensions of time and space, examining the nature of darkness versus light and, ultimately, the triumph of love. Through one girl’s transformative journey led by three celestial guides, we discover that strength comes from embracing one’s individuality and that the best way to triumph over fear is to travel by one’s own light.’

The movie is due out in the UK on March 23rd 2018. Take a look at the new trailer below. [Read more…]

July 15, 2017 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

There was already a fair amount interest in the movie version of A Wrinkle In Time, both because Madeline L’Engle‘s 1962 novel is a bit of a classic, and it’s the first ever $100+ million movie directed by a black woman. Now we’ve got out first look at the film, with a teaser that’s a bit of a stunner.

On this evidence, it could be one of the most interest and perhaps bizarre movies of 2018.

The Ocean’s franchise is coming back, but George Clooney, Brad Pitt and co. won’t be around this turn (although Matt Damon will show up for a cameo), with the action moving across to an octet of women who are getting into the heist game. The movie is now shooting and the first image from the film has been released, as you can see above.

It has to be said though, the ladies don’t look like they’re having a lot of fun in the pic.

December 7, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

A great cast including Sandra Bullock, Cate Blanchett, Anne Hathaway, Rihanna, Helena Bonham Carter, Mindy Kaling, Sarah Paulson and Awkwafina has already been lined up to be the female thieves in Ocean’s Eight. However, the heist team needs someone to go up against, and now they’ve found them in the form of Damian Lewis.

Variety reports that he’s in final talks to play the villain in the movie. Plot details are still being kept secret, so it’s not known exactly what Lewis will be doing, but he’ll presumably be causing trouble for Bullock and co. Dakota Johnson also stars, while Matt Damon is reported to be making a cameo, to help connect the film to the other Ocean’s movie.

Hunger Games helmer Gary Ross recently started shooting the movie New York. Steven Soderbergh, who directed the Ocean’s 11 trilogy, will produce.
