Death Note Trailer – Adam Wingard takes on the classic manga with Nat Wolff & Willem Dafoe

June 29, 2017 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Back in 2014 it looked like we might be getting an adaptation of the classic Japanese Manga Death Note, directed by Good Will Hunting and Milk’s Gus Van Sant. That never happened, but now we’re getting one from Adam Wingard, the man behind You’re Next, The Guest, Blair Witch and the upcoming Godzilla vs. Kong.

However, it’s already stirred controversy for changing the ethnicity and cultural origins of the characters, with petitions and calls for a boycott against the film.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Based on the famous Japanese manga written by Tsugumi Ohba and Takeshi Obata, Death Note follows a high school student who comes across a supernatural notebook, realizing it holds within it a great power; if the owner inscribes someone’s name into it while picturing their face, he or she will die. Intoxicated with his new godlike abilities, the young man begins to kill those he deems unworthy of life.

‘The Netflix original film is directed by Adam Wingard (Blair Witch, You’re Next) and stars Nat Wolff (Paper Towns), Margaret Qualley (The Leftovers), Lakeith Stanfield (Get Out), Paul Nakauchi (Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End), Shea Whigham (American Hustle) and Willem Dafoe (Spider-Man) as the voice of Ryuk.’

The film will debut exclusively on Netflix on August 25th. Take a look at the new trailer below. [Read more…]

New Home Again Trailer – Reese Witherspoon ends up with an unexpected chosen family

June 17, 2017 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Reese Witherspoon returns to the genre she’s had the greatest success with – the rom-com – with Home Again. However, she’s grown up a bit since Legally Blonde, as she’s now playing a woman who’s recently become a single mom and decides to change her life.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘HOME AGAIN stars Reese Witherspoon (Wild, This Means War, Legally Blonde) as Alice Kinney in a modern romantic comedy. Recently separated from her husband (Michael Sheen, Passengers, Nocturnal Animals), Alice decides to start over by moving back to her hometown of Los Angeles with her two young daughters, and struggles to get her fledgling design career off the ground whilst also navigating the family’s new life. During a night out on her 40th birthday, Alice meets three young, charismatic filmmakers (Nat Wolff, Pico Alexander and Jon Rudnitsky) who she decides to take in while they try their hand in Hollywood. An unconventional family dynamic emerges, leading them all on an unexpected journey of discovery.

‘Produced by Nancy Meyers (The Intern, It’s Complicated, What Women Want, The Holiday) and written and directed by her daughter Hallie Meyers-Shyer, HOME AGAIN is a story of love, friendship, and the families we create. And one very big life lesson: Starting over is not for beginners..’

The movie will be in UK cinemas at the end of September. Take a look at the trailer below. [Read more…]

Paper Towns Trailer – Nat Wolff gets into a mystery in the John Green adaptation

June 3, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Paper-Towns-posterAlthough it sounds like a rather different type of movie, Paper Towns will be hoping to follow the success of The Fault in Our Stars, as they’re both adapted from books by John Green. Indeed there’s a sense Hollywood is hoping Green can be a Nicholas Sparks for young adults.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Adapted from the bestselling novel by author John Green (“The Fault in Our Stars”), PAPER TOWNS is a coming-of-age story centring on Quentin and his enigmatic neighbour Margo, who loved mysteries so much she became one. After taking him on an all-night adventure through their hometown, Margo suddenly disappears–leaving behind cryptic clues for Quentin to decipher. The search leads Quentin and his quick-witted friends on an exhilarating adventure that is equal parts hilarious and moving. Ultimately, to track down Margo, Quentin must find a deeper understanding of true friendship–and true love.’

Take a look at the trailer below. The film’s in UK cinemas on 17th August. [Read more…]

Ansel Elgort & Nat Wolff Turn Fault In Our Stars A Little Bit Gay

May 8, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

fault-in-our-stars-changed-poster1There’s a lot of buzz for next month’s The Fault In Our Stars, based on John Green’s incredibly popular novel. However it seems that some people have been wondering what would happen if it was based around a romance between two guys – and that includes the film’s stars, Ansel Elgort and Nat Wolff.

The two actors recreated the pose from the movie’s poster, but replacing Shailene Woodley with Wolff. The pic was posted on  Elgort’s and Green’s Instagram accounts. Elgort then managed to post a doctored version of the movies poster with the two guys getting up close and personal.

Click on the pics below to see larger versions of both the original and the rather more gay version.

The movie is about Hazel Grace Lancaster (Shailene Woodley), a teenager who joins a support group after being diagnosed with cancer. Hazel begins to fall for another cancer-stricken teenager, Augustus (Ansel Elgort), from her group. Sam Trammell and Laura Dern play Hazel’s father and mother, with Nat Wolff as Isaac, Augustus’ best friend.

Fault In Out Stars’ Nat Wolff Takes On The Stand

May 8, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

nat-wolffNat Wolff is having a good year. The Stuck In Love actor stars in next month’s much buzzed about The Fault In Our Stars, and now THR reports he’s set to reteam with the director of both those movie for the planned film version of Stephen King’s The Stand.

Although impossible to boil down to a simple plot, The Stand’s over-arcing premise sees a plague known as Captain Trips wiping out pretty much everyone in the world. The survivors then begin sharing a dream of a strange, evil figure, and slowly come together to try and defeat the anti-Christ like Randall Flaggs. It’s basically good vs. evil told on a massive, apocalyptic scale. It was turned into a miniseries in 1994, but despite being much loved by many, the huge plot and ensemble narrative have defeated numerous attempts to take it to the big screen.

Josh Boone, who signed on to write and direct this adaptation in February, apparently wrote a part in the screenplay specifically for Wolff, so the helmer must really like working with the young actor. However, it isn’t known if he’s be playing a character from novel or id this is a brand new role created for the movie.

Boone comments, “He’s a wonderful improviser, he’s my secret weapon, my lucky rabbit’s foot. Two or three of the biggest laughs in my first movie, he improvised. He’s gonna be in every movie I make.”

Nat Wolff responded, “We just immediately bonded; it was just love at first sight. We started arguing about movies we disagreed on, and we have a shorthand together now. I don’t like somebody who just talks my ear off anyway, so I like that we have that relationship.”
