Cafe Society Trailer – Jesse Eisenberg & Kristen Stewart star in Woody Allen’s latest

April 24, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Even when Woody Allen doesn’t star in his own movies, there tends to be a stand-in for him, and it has to be said, he’s picked a good on for Cafe Society in the form of Jesse Eisenberg. Re-teaming him with the often wooden Kristen Stewart may not have been as good an idea, but we will see.

Ahead of the movie’s debut at Cannes, the first trailer has now arrived.

Eisenberg plays Bobby, a young man who relocates to Hollywood in the hopes of pursuing a career in film. Once there, he falls in love and becomes captivated by the lush Hollywood scene. Steve Carell, Blake Lively, Parker Posey and Jeannie Berlin also star.

Interestingly, after holding out for years and suggesting he’s always stick with digital film, Cafe Society marks Woody’s first film shot on digital. Take a look at the trailer below. [Read more…]

Irrational Man Trailer – Joaquin Phoenix & Emma Stone star in Woody Allen’s latest

April 29, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

It’s time for our first look at Woody Allen’s annual movie, and coming off the Oscar-winning triumph of Blue Valentine he’s brining us Irrational Man, which stars Joaquin Phoenix, Emma Stone and Parker Posey.

As always with Allen there aren’t too many details about the movie, but Phoenix will play a philosophy professor who’s suffering from an existential crisis which results in him wondering what the point of life is. However then – and this will be a shock for Allen fans – he meets a younger woman, strikes up a friendship, who changes his life.

It’s not exactly groundbreaking territory for Woody, and as so often in his films, it feels like Joaquin in playing an Allen analogue. Whether it’ll work this time around should become clearer soon as it’s due to premiere at Cannes in mid-May. [Read more…]

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.
