New The Circle Trailer – Emma Watson & Tom Hanks explore the dangers of modern technology

February 9, 2017 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Based on a Dave Eggers novel, The Circle is a film that’s vaguely science-fiction, but actually far closer to reality than we might like to admit. After all, Google and Facebook already know more about us than even our closest friends.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘The Circle is a gripping modern thriller, set in the not-too-distant future, starring Emma Watson (“Harry Potter”), Tom Hanks (“Sully”) and John Boyega (“Star Wars: The Force Awakens”). When Mae (Emma Watson) is hired to work for the world’s largest and most powerful tech & social media company, she sees it as an opportunity of a lifetime.  As she rises through the ranks, she is encouraged by the company’s founder, Eamon Bailey (Tom Hanks), to engage in a groundbreaking experiment that pushes the boundaries of privacy, ethics and ultimately her personal freedom.  Her participation in the experiment, and every decision she makes begin to affect the lives and future of her friends, family and that of humanity.’

The likes of John Boyega, Karen Gillan, Patton Oswalt, Bill Paxton and Glenne Headly also star. Take a look at the trailer below. The film will be in US cinemas in April, but no UK date is currently set. [Read more…]

The Circle Trailer – Emma Watson and Tom Hanks take on a techno-thriller

December 6, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

the-circles-slide-2017Based on a Dave Eggers novel, The Circle is a film that’s vaguely science-fiction, but actually far closer to reality than we might like to admit. After all, Google and Facebook already know more about us than even our closest friends.

Watson plays a young woman who’s hired for a big job in an Internet company called the Circle, which links users’ personal emails, social media, banking, and purchasing with their universal operating system, resulting in one online identity and a new age of civility and transparency. It’s there that she meets a mysterious older man, Bailey, who has created the Circle.

Director James Ponsoldt comments to USA Today, “Bailey’s notion is that knowing is good, and knowing everything is better. He believes all experiences should be available to everyone, not only the privileged or people who can afford to them. He’s deeply interested in technology that can make people share all human experiences with everyone. He’s a boundary pusher, even boundary destroyer.”

The likes of John Boyega, Karen Gillan, Patton Oswalt, Bill Paxton and Glenne Headly also star. Take a look at the trailer below. The film will be in cinemas next year. [Read more…]

Patton-OswaltThe comic trio of Bob Odenkirk, Patton Oswalt and Ian Roberts have all joined the cast of Robbie Pickering’s upcoming comedy The Kitchen Sink, according to Deadline, joining a cast that already includes Nicholas Braun, Mackenzie Davis, Joan Cusack, Vanessa Hudgens and Denis Leary.

Nature Calls Red Band Trailer – Patton Oswalt kidnaps some kids and takes them camping

September 20, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment


Nature Calls stars Patton Oswalt as Randy, a boy scout trooper leader who is disgusted with the way that kids these days don’t like to go out into the woods, make campfires or set up camps. Conversely, his brother Kirk (Johnny Knoxville) is a dad who doesn’t care if his kids want to go outdoors. With Randy unable to take it anymore, he forms a plan to ‘borrow’ all of the children at Kirk’s son’s sleepover and take them for a camping trip in the woods. This, of course, leads Kirk to gather his friends and go hunt his brother down. The movie hits US cinemas on November 9th, but no UK release is currently set.

Patton Oswalt Circling Secret Life Of Walter Mitty

February 10, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Actor/comedian Patton Oswalt, who’s just coming off his critically-acclaimed performance in Young Adult, is in talks to join Ben Stiller and Kriten Wiig in 20th Century Fox’s comedy remake of The Secret Life of Walter Mitty.

The film is based on the 1947 film of the same name, which starred Danny Kaye as a timid man who spends his life daydreaming about being a heo but realises heroics aren’t all they’re cracked up to be when he gets caught up in an international conspiracy. In the new take Mitty is played by Stiller and tasked with an important mission when he is sent to find a missing negative.

Patton Oswalt will play an eHarmony consultant, who helps Walter create a dating profile. Kristen Wiig stars as the woman of Walter’s dreams, with Shirley MacLaine portraying Walter’s mother.

After several years of delays (and numerous actors having sniffed around the title role), production is finally scheduled to begin this April, with Stiller directing as well as starring. (Source: ShowBlitz)

Young Adult (Cinema)

January 31, 2012 By Stephen Sclater Leave a Comment

Starring: Patton Oswalt, Patrick Wilson
Director: Jason Reitman
Running Time: 93 mins

Young Adult has Oscar pedigree written all over it. Directed By Jason Reitman (nominated for Up In The Air and Juno) in collaboration with everyone’s favourite hip writer, Diablo Cody (of Juno fame), and with the beautiful and talented Charlize Theron (Oscar winner for Monster) starring.

On paper it would appear that Mavis Gary (Theron) is a successful, beautiful 37-year-old writer living life to the full in Minneapolis, who’s enjoying all the trappings that life should bring a former prom queen. However, it is obvious from the opening scenes that her life is in a mess. She wakes up from a drunken stupor, having fallen asleep on her bed fully-clothed. She shuffles round her dishevelled apartment, drinks Coke for breakfast, prepares breakfast for her and her dog Dolce from ready made packet food, whilst watching The Kardashians on TV. [Read more…]
