Michelle Monaghan Signs Up To be Adam Sandler’s Love Interest In Pixels

By Leave a Comment

Michelle-MonaghanMichelle Monaghan has been having recent success with True Detective, but now she’s heading in a slightly different director as she has signed up to play the female lead in Pixels, according to THR, opposite Adam Sandler, Kevin James, Josh Gad and Peter Dinklage.

The movie is based on Patrick Jean’s 2010 short film, which sees New York City being transformed into and destroyed by 8-bit pixel classic videogames. This movie version is about aliens who confused a video feeds of classic arcade games as a declaration of war against their species. As a result they attack the Earth by staging versions of these games in real life on a massive scale.

Kevin James will be the US President, who turns to his childhood best friend (Sandler) to lead a team of gamers to stop this attack. Sandler is a former video game champion who now makes his living as a home theatre installer. Josh Gad is portraying a genius obsessed with conspiracy theories, while Peter Dinklage will play Adam Sandler’s brash rival.

Monaghan meanwhile is playing a weapons developer who’s the love interest of Adam Sandler’s character. Yes, once again in Hollywoodland a schlubby man has a ridiculously beautiful and significantly younger woman as their love interest.

Chris Columbus is directing from a script by Tim Herlihy and Timothy Dowling. Negotiations are currently underway to include several classic videogames in the movie.

Peter Dinklage Signs Up For Pixels Alongside Adam Sandler

By Leave a Comment

peter-dinklagePeter Dinklage’s star is certainly on the rise. Following his huge success in Game Of Thrones, he’s getting villainous this summer in X-Men: Days Of Future Past and now TheWrap reports that he is in final talks to join the cast of Pixels.

The cast already includes Adam Sandler, Kevin James and Josh Gad, and based on Patrick Jean’s 2010 short film of the same name, where New York City gets turned into 8-bit videogame pixels by classic old-school titles.

The feature-length version follows an alien race who attack New York City by staging versions of 1980s video games on an epic scale. Humanity’s only hope are four arcade video game champions who are recruited by the government to stop this dangerous threat. Dinklage will play one of these champions, alongside Sandler, James and Gad.

Chris Columbus is set to direct from a script by Tim Herlihy and Timothy Dowling. Sony is apparently envisaging this as a big-budget tentpole in the same vein as Ghostbusters, so expect some massive effects when it’s released next year.

Peter Dinklage Will Pretend He’s A Leprechaun In A New Comedy

By Leave a Comment

peter-dinklageDue to his being awesome in Game Of Thrones, Peter Dinklage’s movie career is starting to take off. He’s playing Bolivar Trask in next year’s X-Men: Days Of Future Past and now he’s signed up for the lead role in a currently untitled comedy at Paramount, according to THR.

Not too much is known about the movie, but it has been revealed that Dinklage will play someone who claims to be a leprechaun. The tone will apparently be similar to Terry Zwigoff’s dark comedy Bad Santa, and it will have an R-rating. No other cast members have been announced.

Andrew Dodge, who wrote Jason Bateman’s upcoming comedy Bad Words, wrote the script.

Jennifer Lawrence Gets Blue On The X-Men: Days Of Future Past Set

x-men-days-jennifer-lawrence
Bryan Singer has been keeping us all up to date with the progress of X-Men: Days Of Future Past by tweeting a series of images from the set. Now we’ve got a couple more. Above you can see the first image of Jennifer Lawrence in full-on blue Mystique make-up (Singer says she’s ‘vengeful’, so don’t expect her to be nice in this film), while below, Peter Dinklage discusses his role with Singer.

We still don’t know who Dinklage will play, although some are saying the moustache he’s sporting suggest he’ll play Bolivar Trask, creator of the Sentinels that cause all manner of trouble for the Patrick Stewart era mutants, and result in a bit of time-travelling to get James McAvoy and crew to prevent something happening that will cause the Sentinels to be needed in the first place.

The movie is out summer 2014.

By Leave a Comment

peter-dinklagePeter Dinklage is fast on his way to becoming the first little person to become a mainstream international star, especially after winning a Golden Globe and Emmy for Game Of Thrones. Now he’s heading into superhero territory as Bryan Singer has tweeted that he’s joined the cast of X-Men: Days Of Future Past.

Singer says, “Officially like to welcome #PeterDinklage from #GameOfThrones to #XMEN #DaysofFuturePast Very very excited!”

Unfortunately there’s no news on who Dinklage will play in the movie, which will bring the First Class actors face-to-face with the future X-Men in a time-travelling plot. The Days Of Future Past comic book storyline sees the future under the control of the Sentinels and mutants living in internment camps. The X-Men of the past are warned about this, as well as the fact they can stop it happening if they prevent an assassination in their time.

First Class’ James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender, Jennifer Lawrence, Nicholas Hoult are all set to return, with original X-Men Patrick Stewart, Ian McKellan, Hugh Jackman, Anna Paquin, Ellen Page, Shawn Ashmore also back in the mutant fold.

A july 18th 2014 3D release has been set.
