Aquaman Extended Trailer – Jason Momoa goes to war under the seas against Patrick Wilson

October 7, 2018 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

After watching the Aquaman extended trailer it’s difficult to tell whether this is going to be ridiculously cool, or quite possibly the stupidest mega-budget movie ever made. Indeed, the fact they bothered to release a five-minute look at the movie is evidence that Warner Bros. knows a lot of people are uncertain about the film.

At the moment though, there’s still plenty of hope for the former, not least ebcause director James Wan (Saw, The Conjuring, Insidious, Fast & Furious 7) has an impressive track record of making films that are far more entertaining that you might expect.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘From Warner Bros. Pictures and director James Wan comes an action-packed adventure that spans the vast, visually breathtaking underwater world of the seven seas, “Aquaman,” starring Jason Momoa in the title role. The film reveals the origin story of half-human, half-Atlantean Arthur Curry and takes him on the journey of his lifetime—one that will not only force him to face who he really is, but to discover if he is worthy of who he was born to be…a king.

‘The film also stars Amber Heard (“Justice League,” “Magic Mike XXL”) as Mera, a fierce warrior and Aquaman’s ally throughout his journey; Oscar nominee Willem Dafoe (“Platoon,” “Spider-Man 2”) as Vulko, council to the Atlantean throne; Patrick Wilson (“The Conjuring” films, “Watchmen”) as Orm/Ocean Master, the present King of Atlantis; Dolph Lundgren (“The Expendables” films) as Nereus, King of the Atlantean tribe Xebel; Yahya Abdul-Mateen II (Netflix’s “The Get Down”) as the vengeful Black Manta; and Oscar winner Nicole Kidman (“The Hours,” “Lion”) as Arthur’s mom, Atlanna; as well as Ludi Lin (“Power Rangers”) as Captain Murk, Atlantean Commando; and Temuera Morrison (“Star Wars: Episode II – Attack of the Clones,” “Green Lantern”) as Arthur’s dad, Tom Curry.

‘AQUAMAN will release in UK cinemas on December 14.’ [Read more…]

Patrick Wilson Will Be An Aquaman Villain

December 13, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Patrick WilsonAquaman has found itself a villain, and it’s someone not unfamiliar with the world of DC characters. Patrick Wilson previously Dan Dreiberg/Nite Owl in Zack Snyder’s 2009 adaptation of Watchmen. Now, with Snyder helping oversee the creation of the DC movie universe (having helmed Man Of Steel and Batman v Superman), Wilson has joined Aquaman.

Director James Wan announced the news on Twitter, saying, ‘In casting news that no one saw coming from 20,000 nautical miles away, I ordain @patrickwilson73 the Ocean Master. #KingOrm #Aquaman’.

Orm is Aquaman’s half-brother, although at the moment it’s difficult to know what direction the film will take him. There have been various takes on the characters, some with powers and some without, but all with a dislike/jealousy of Aquaman. Therefore it’s likely Wilson will be one of the movie’s primary villains (previous rumours suggested Black Manta would be the main baddie, but that’s never been confirmed).

The movie is due out October 2018.

The Conjuring 2: The Enfield Case (Blu-ray Review)

October 21, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Starring: Vera Farmiga, Patrick Wilson, Frances O'Connor, Simon McBurney, Franka Potente
Director: James Wan
Running Time: 134 mins
Certificate: 15
Release Date: October 17th 2016 (UK)

The Conjuring surprised many when it grossed over $300 million on a $20 million budget. It ensured that a sequel was quickly put in the works (as well as last year’s spin-off, Annabelle), with the filmmakers looking through the cases of Ed and Lorraine Warren for more inspiration. What they came up with was the Enfield Poltergeist, one of Britain’s most documented paranormal cases, which was also the inspiration for Sky TV’s The Enfield Haunting earlier this year.

The film starts out with another very famous case the Warrens were involved in, Amityville, before moving to Britain and the Hodgson family, living in a council house in North London. Single mother Patricia (Frances O’Connor) and her two daughters and two sons, are being increasingly frightened by paranormal activity, which is moving things around the house and possessing one of the daughters.

The Conjuring 2 Trailer – Vera Farmiga and Patrick Wilson get haunted in London

March 26, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

conjuring-2-pic1-slideA new trailer for The Conjuring 2 has arrived, which hopes to creep us out this summer by moving the action to London and another ‘real-life’ supernatural case.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Reprising their roles, Oscar nominee Vera Farmiga (“Up In the Air,” TV’s “Bates Motel”) and Patrick Wilson (the “Insidious” films), star as Lorraine and Ed Warren, who, in one of their most terrifying paranormal investigations, travel to north London to help a single mother raising four children alone in a house plagued by malicious spirits.

‘The film follows the phenomenal worldwide reception of Wan’s “The Conjuring,” which marked the largest opening ever for an original horror movie.  The film went on to make more than $319 million worldwide and still remains the second highest grossing original horror movie of all time, second only to “The Exorcist.”’

The movie hits cinemas in June. [Read more…]

The Conjuring 2 Trailer – Things get creepy again for Vera Farmiga and Patrick Wilson in London

January 7, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

conjuring-2-pic1-slideAfter the massive success of The Conjuring, it’s no surprise that we’re getting a sequel. However it’s taken a while for it to be ready – so long that we’ve had time for the spin-off Annabelle in the meantime – but now we have a trailer for The Conjuring 2, which moves the action to Britain.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Reprising their roles, Oscar nominee Vera Farmiga (“Up In the Air,” TV’s “Bates Motel”) and Patrick Wilson (the “Insidious” films), star as Lorraine and Ed Warren, who, in one of their most terrifying paranormal investigations, travel to north London to help a single mother raising four children alone in a house plagued by malicious spirits.

And in case you’re haunting, it is about the same case as the recent British TV show, The Enfield Haunting. The Conjuring 2 will be in cinemas in June.

Stretch (Blu-ray Review)

May 31, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Starring: Patrick Wilson, Chris Pine, Ed Helms, jessica Alba, James Badge Dale
Director: Joe Carnahan
Running Time: 95 mins
Certificate: 15
Release Date: June 1st 2015 (UK)

Stretch is a bit of a crazy film. Indeed it’s so crazy that despite a cast full of well-known actors the studio behind it didn’t know quite what to do with it and cancelled its US cinema release just a couple of months before it was due to hit cinemas, before trying to sell it to another distributor. However, that’s a shame as while it is nuts and sometimes incredibly messy, it’s also oddly entertaining, even if you can see the studio’s point that it’s a tough film to properly market.

Patrick Wilson plays an LA limo driver whose life hasn’t turned out as he wanted – he planned to be an actor but never made it, he’s lost the love of his life and now he’s got a massive gambling debt and no time to pay it off. In the hope of getting a massive tip he takes a job driving an extremely eccentric passenger (Chris Pine), but soon finds him caught up in a situation involving foreign gangsters, the FBI, a suitcase full of cash, an asshole version of Ray Liotta (playing himself) and a psychotic tow truck driver.

Space Station 76 (DVD Review)

October 5, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Starring: Patrick Wilson, Matt Bomer, Liv Tyler, Marissa Coughlan, Jack O'Connell
Director: Jack Plotnick
Running Time: 91 mins
Certificate: 15
Release Date: October 6th 2014 (UK)

Space Station 76 is an odd but interesting idea. It’s a movie set in the future, but the 1970s version of the future, complete with bell bottoms, big hair and attitudes to sexuality and gender that haven’t fully gotten to grips with the sexual revolution.

Jessica  (Liv Tyler) comes aboard Space Station 76 and is immediately faced with suspicion due to the fact she’s a woman, and so people wonder why she isn’t at home making dinner and raising children. However that’s soon the least of her problems as she’s been dumped in the middle of a melting pot of fractured relationships, simmering resentment, and tortured sexuality. [Read more…]

Stretch Trailer – Patrick Wilson & Joe Carnahan go to strange places in a limo

September 26, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

stretch-pic5-slideA couple of weeks ago the first rather unusual pictures emerged from Stretch, a movie that looks rather intriguing and had stars such as Patrick Wilson, Chris Pine, Jessica Alba, Ed Helms, Brooklyn Decker, James Badge Dale, David Hasselhoff, Ray Liotta, and Shaun Toub.

Even with all that going for it, Joe Carnahan’s won’t be getting a US cinema release, instead it’ll be going digital on Amazon and iTunes on October 7th, with a VOD release coming on October 14th.

Wilson plays the central role of a downtrodden man who takes a job as a limo driver to pay off his gambling debts. His first client is an eccentric billionaire (Chris Pine), whose bizarre requests take a toll on the driver’s sanity throughout one crazy night.

Take a look at the trailer below.

First Look At A Super-Bearded (& Shirtless) Chris Pine, Patrick Wilson & More In Joe Carnahan’s Stretch

September 9, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

stretch-pic5-slideJoe Carnahan may have dabbled in the world of blockbusters with The A-Team, but it looks like he’s going for something far more idiosyncratic with Stretch – at least that’s what that first pics released via the film’s Twitter account suggest.

It also gives Chris Pine the chance to find out what he would look like as a crazy-bearded man who spends all day at the gym, while Patrick Wilson gets a subtle hint about what people think of him (just see what we mean below), while Jessica Alba channels her inner nerd by following the movie rule that glasses and a ponytail = plain girl.

Wilson plays the central role of a downtrodden man who takes a job as a limo driver to pay off his gambling debts. His first client is an eccentric billionaire (Chris Pine), whose bizarre requests take a toll on the driver’s sanity throughout one crazy night.

Ed Helms, Brooklyn Decker, James Badge Dale, David Hasselhoff, Ray Liotta, and Shaun Toub are amongst the strong supporting cast.

It’s not clear when the low-budget film will hit cinemas. [Read more…]
