X-Men: Dark Phoenix Trailer – James McAvoy & Michael Fassbender face a new threat

October 2, 2018 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Synopsis: ‘In DARK PHOENIX, the X-MEN face their most formidable and powerful foe: one of their own, Jean Grey. During a rescue mission in space, Jean is nearly killed when she is hit by a mysterious cosmic force. Once she returns home, this force not only makes her infinitely more powerful, but far more unstable. Wrestling with this entity inside her, Jean unleashes her powers in ways she can neither comprehend nor contain.

‘With Jean spiralling out of control, and hurting the ones she loves most, she begins to unravel the very fabric that holds the X-Men together. Now, with this family falling apart, they must find a way to unite — not only to save Jean’s soul, but to save our very planet from aliens who wish to weaponize this force and rule the galaxy.

‘X-MEN: DARK PHOENIX stars James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender, Jennifer Lawrence, Nicholas Hoult, Sophie Turner, Tye Sheridan, Alexandra Shipp and Jessica Chastain. Direction comes from Simon Kinberg.’

The film’s due out summer 2019. Take a look at the first trailer below. [Read more…]

The Current War Trailer – Benedict Cumberbatch’s Thomas Edison wants electrical supremacy!

September 8, 2017 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

The Current War has been doing the round in Hollywood for over five years, but it’s only now that it’s gone in front of the camera. The first trailer for the film has now been release, featuring Benedict Cumberbatch as the legendary Thomas Edison.

The movie takes place in the late-1880s and revolves around power titans Edison and George Westinghouse’s as they battle over who will control the supply of electricity in the US. Edison championed direct current (DC) for electric power distribution over Westinghouse’s alternating current (AC), which was backed by several European companies and Westinghouse Electric. It became an increasingly vicious public battle as each side tried to destroy confidence in the other.

Michael Shannon plays Westinghouse, with Katherine Waterston, Tom Holland, Matthew Macfadyen, Tuppence Middleton, and Nicholas Hoult as Nikola Tesla. [Read more…]

Nicholas Hoult May Play J.R.R. Tolkien In A New Biopic

July 26, 2017 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Most people know about Lord Of The Rings and The Hobbit (at least from the film versions), but not that many people know much about the man behind Middle Earth, JRR Tolkien. The film world is trying to change that with a new biopic, which Deadline reports has Nicholas Hoult in the frame for the main role.

The film, ‘explores the formative years of the orphaned author as he finds friendship, love and artistic inspiration among a fellow group of outcasts at school. This takes him into the outbreak of World War I, which threatens to tear the “fellowship” apart. All of these experiences would inspire Tolkien to write his famous Middle-Earth novels.’

There may well be a reason they’re concentrating on his very early years, as while he was an interesting fellow later on, he also had a bit of a reputation as a dismissive grump, as well as being very anally retentive about certain things.

Finnish director Dome Karukoski, who hits cinemas soon with another biopic – about gay erotic artist Tom Of Finland – is set to direct from a script by David Gleeson and Stephen Beresford. It’s not known when the Tolkien movie might arrive in cinemas.

April 27, 2017 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Netflix is busy trying to show it can be a big player in the movie world, releasing an increasing number of films on the streaming platform with well-known names and decent budgets. One of the latest is Sand Castle, starring Nicholas Hoult, Henry Cavill and Logan Marshall-Green, which was released a few days ago.

The movie follows Hoult as a young man who only joined the army to get support for college, but ends up in Iraq, trying to protect a small village alongside his fellow soldiers.

Sand Castle isn’t a bad film at all, and includes one particularly diverting scene, where Hoult strips down for a shower. We might not see everything, but he’s certainly looking good from what we do see. Take a look at a few screenshots from the movie below. [Read more…]

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

April 25, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

In 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…]
