Take A Look At The Entire X-Men: Days Of Future Past Cast Together At Comic-Con

By Leave a Comment

X-Men-days-of-future-past-cast-photoFor the X-Men panel at Comic-Con, Fox decided the best thing to do was bring the entire main cast of the upcoming X-Men: Days Of Future Past together, which led to the image above, tweeted by director Bryan Singer.

There was also footage and info about the movie, including confirmation that it’s Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine who’ll be the one travelling from a bleak, dystopian future where mutants have been rounded up and are monitored by the robotic sentinels. An older Xavier and Magneto (Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellen), send him back to the 1970s to convince their younger selves (James McAvoy and Michael Fassbender) they must do something to prevent this future from ever happening.

The movie hits cinemas summer 2014.

x-men-days-of-future-past-logo
With X-Men: Days Of Future Past mixing up mutants from the original trilogy with their First Class counterparts, there’s a lot of interest in the film. Now some character portraits have emerged (apparently first on the X-Men Tumblr, although they now seem to have been removed, and then on ComingSoon).

They show us Patrick Stewart, Ian McKellen, Hugh Jackman and Daniel Cudmore back in the X-Men fold, along with out first look at Omar Sy as Bishop, and First Class’ Nicholas Hoult and Lucas Till.

The film’s Comic-Con panel takes place on Saturday, so hopefully there’ll be more news from that. Click on the pics below for larger versions. It’s out in cinemas May 2014.

Warm Bodies (DVD)

Starring: , , , ,

Running Time:
Certificate:
Release Date:

The zombie apocalypse has left the humans fighting against a horde of shambling corpses. R (Nicholas Hoult) is one of those zombies, except he’s beginning to wonder if there’s more to life than stumbling about groaning. When he ‘meets’ Julie (Teresa Palmer), a beautiful human survivor, R falls in love. He sets about trying to charm her, as best a rotting corpse can, and soon finds he’s undergoing more than just a change of heart.

The first zombie films had a message to deliver, the same is true here. But on top of this, Warm Bodies is refreshing, original, and one of the wittiest films you’ll find. [Read more…]

Crush Of The Day: Nicholas Hoult For Flaunt Magazine

By Leave a Comment

nicholas-hoult-flaunt7-slide
I have to say, I have a bit of a soft soft for guys with crew cuts, and there’s no doubt that Nicholas Hoult looks good with very short hair. It’s also nice to see in these new bit, he’s got a little bit of chest scruff going on.

The X-Men: Days Of Future Past and Warm Bodies star has gone in front of photographer Thomas Giddings lens for Flaunt Magazine, and they’ve shared some of the images with the world, which you can see below.

The mag says, ‘In Flaunt’s Fabrication Issue (Issue 127), blue-eyed Brit Nicholas Hoult discusses his work in Warm Bodies, Jack the Giant Slayer, and his role in the upcoming X-Men sequel’.

First Look At Beast In X-Men: Days Of Future Past

By Leave a Comment

x-men-days-of-future-part-beast-tweetThe shoot for X-Men: Days Of Future Past is gearing up in Montreal, and so Bryan Singer has tweeted us our first look at Beast (Nicholas Hoult) in the movie. Well, it’s presumed it’s Beast, even though he does look slightly different and more grown up than he did in X-Men: First Class.

The director also included a quote from Jeanne-Marie Leprince de Beaumont’s timeless story Beauty and the Beast, which is rather fitting for this character. It reads, “Many a monster wears the form of a man; it is better of the two to have the heart of a man & the form of a monster”

The movie is due out summer 2014, and hopefully we’ll have plenty more mutant reveals before then.

Nicholas Hoult Goes To Dark Places With Charlize Theron & Chloe Moretz

By Leave a Comment

Nicholas Hoult

Nicholas Hoult  might not have had as much success with Jack the Giant Slayer as he’d hoped, but he’s still one of the hottest young actors around. He’s currently heading for the X-Men: Days Of Future Past set and after that he’ll star in the Dark Places, alongside Charlize Theron and Chloe Moretz, according to Deadline.

The project is based on the Gillian Flynn novel about Libby Day (Charlize Theron), a woman who is still haunted by the massacre of her family 25 years earlier. As a child, Libby testified in court that her brother was the killer. However, when an organisation known as The Kill Club begins investigating the case, trying to prove her brother’s innocence, Libby is forced to face her past once again and realise there are more suspects out there. Nicholas Hoult is set to play Lyle, the awkward treasurer of The Kill Club.

Gilles Paquet-Brenner (Sarah’s Key) is directing from his own adapted screenplay. Shooting should start later this year.

Crush Of The Day: Nicholas Hoult

By Leave a Comment

nicholas-hoult-jack-the-giant-slayer3
It’s a tiny bit creepy that the cherub-faced youngster in About A Boy has grown into the hotness that is 23-year-old Nicholas Hoult. He’s had a busy start to 2013, releasing Warm Bodies and now Jack The Giant Slayer, as well as shooting Young Ones. Then next month he’s off to the set of X-Men: Days Of Future Past, where he’s due to reprise his role as Hank McCoy/Beast.

Although Jack The Giant Slayer hasn’t become a big hit in the States, it may have a little more luck as it rolls out around the world (it hits the UK on March 22nd), with audiences turn up if only to swoon at Hoult’s handsomeness.

He certainly got a bright future ahead of him, and if you wanna check him out playing gay, make sure you watch A Single Man. We’ve gathered together a gallery of some of his best pics – including a gif of his man-on-man kiss in Skins – which you can see below. Click on any of the images for a larger version. [Read more…]

New Jack The Giant Slayer Trailer & Clip – Nicholas Hoult gets his fantasy action on

By Leave a Comment


It seems Warner Bros has listened to those who thought the first Jack The Giant Slayer trailer made the whole thing look like a dumb, not particularly funny comedy, as this new promo brings on the rock music, ups the action and puts everything in fantasy peril.

I’m still not 100% convinced by the movie, but director Bryan Singer is normally trustworthy, so hopefully it’ll work out well.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘An ancient war is reignited when a young farmhand unwittingly opens a gateway between our world and a fearsome race of giants. Unleashed on the Earth for the first time in centuries, the giants strive to reclaim the land they once lost, forcing the young man, Jack (Nicholas Hoult), into the battle of his life to stop them. Fighting for a kingdom and its people, and the love of a brave princess, he comes face to face with the unstoppable warriors he thought only existed in legend… and gets the chance to become a legend himself.’

Take a look at the new trailer above and a clip below. The film’s out March 22nd.

Nicholas Hoult Hears Rupert Wyatt’s Birdsong

By Leave a Comment

Nicholas-Hoult-Observer4A few days ago it was revealed that despite the BBC’s successful mini-series of Sebastian Faulks’ Birdsong only airing a few months ago, Rise Of The Planet Of The Apes director Rupert Wyatt is planning to take on a movie version, which is currently looking for backers at the Berlin Film Festival.

Now the first cast member has been announced, with Variety reporting that Nicholas Hoult has signed on for the starring role.

Faulks’ novel is set before and during the First World War, following a young British man, Stephen Wraysford (Hoult), who gets involved in a relationship with a married French woman. When war breaks out he ends up as a soldier amidst the carnage of the front lines.

Nobody has yet been cast as the woman, which Clémence Poésy played in the mini-series.

Nicholas Hoult, Michael Shannon, Elle Fanning & Kodi Smit-McPhee Are The Young Ones

By Leave a Comment

Nicholas-Hoult-fashion-slide
It may be called The Young Ones, but this isn’t a remake of the classic 1980s sitcom. Instead it’s a dystopian sci-fi flick which has drawn together a pretty good cast, with Variety reporting that Michael Shannon, Nicholas Hoult, Elle Fanning and Kodi Smit-McPhee have all signed on to star.

Jake Paltrow (younger brother of Gwyneth) is set to direct the movie, which about about a future where water is incredibly scarce, causing humanity to turn on itself in the scramble for the precious resource. The film focuses on an a 14-year-old boy named Jake (who we’re presuming will be played by Kodi Smit-McPhee) who must use his wits to survive.

There’s no info on exactly who the new cast members will play, but presumably they’ll be split between those who have water and those who don’t.

The project has been in development for a long time, as two years ago Casey Affleck and Jamie Bell were set to star (Fanning was also involved at that stage too), with Noah Baumbach producing. Filming started a few days ago in South Africa’s Northern Cape desert.
