Disobedience Trailer – Rachel McAdams & Rachel Weisz are forbidden lovers in the lesbian themed movie

February 4, 2018 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

It’s not easy for Rachel McAdams & Rachel Weisz in Disobedience, where they play women whose love would be vigorously condemned by the Orthdox Jewish community they come from. The movie is based on Naomi Alderman’s novel, with Sebastian Lelio directing. The lesbian-themed movie premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival to pretty good review, which praised the acting and how heartfelt the somewhat melancholic movie is.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Happily single and living a rich life as a photographer in New York, Ronit (Rachel Weisz) is very much the black sheep of her London-based Orthodox Jewish family. When her revered rabbi father dies, Ronit returns home to pay her respects and liquidate her inheritance. But surprises await, chief among them the news that Dovid (Alessandro Nivola) — the heir apparent to Ronit’s father and very much the son he never had — has married Ronit’s childhood friend Esti (Rachel McAdams). While Dovid prepares to take over the hallowed place at the synagogue, Ronit and Esti become reacquainted. An old flame is reignited — one that could torch everything this family most cherishes.’

Disobedience is due out in the US in April. An August UK release is currently set, but take a look at the trailer below. [Read more…]

New Game Night Trailer – Jason Bateman & Rachel McAdams’ murder mystery party gets funny

February 4, 2018 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Synopsis: ‘Jason Bateman and Rachel McAdams star as Max and Annie, whose weekly couples game night gets kicked up a notch when Max’s charismatic brother, Brooks (Kyle Chandler), arranges a murder mystery party, complete with fake thugs and faux federal agents. So when Brooks gets kidnapped, it’s all part of the game…right? But as the six uber-competitive gamers set out to solve the case and win, they begin to discover that neither this “game”—nor Brooks—are what they seem to be.

‘Over the course of one chaotic night, the friends find themselves increasingly in over their heads as each twist leads to another unexpected turn. With no rules, no points, and no idea who all the players are, this could turn out to be the most fun they’ve ever had…or game over.

Jason Bateman and Oscar nominee Rachel McAdams team up in New Line Cinema’s action comedy “Game Night.” John Francis Daley & Jonathan Goldstein are directing the film, marking their second film as co-directors, following “Vacation.”’

The comedy is due out March 2nd, 2018, but you can take a look at the new trailer for the movie below. [Read more…]

Rachel McAdams & Rachel Weisz Take On The Lesbian-Themed Disobedience

October 4, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

rachel-mcadamsCate Blanchett and Rooney Mara has great success with the lesbian-themed love story Carol, and now two other actresses are taking up the mantle, as Variety reports that Rachel McAdams and Rachel Weisz are set to star in Disobedience.

Based on Naomi Alderman’s book, Disobedience, ‘follows a young woman (Weisz) who returns to her Orthodox Jewish home after learning about the death of her estranged father. She causes an upheaval in the quiet community when she rekindles a repressed love with her best friend – a woman now married to her cousin. McAdams will play the best friend in the pic.’

It certainly looks like we’ll be back in the territory of forbidden desires, sexual angst and hidden passions. Sebastian Lelio is set to direct the film, based on a script he co-wrote with Rebecca Lenkiewicz. It’s expected to start shooting early next year.

McAdams previously starred in the lesbian-themed Passion, although that thriller, from director Brian de Palma, found little success. Hopefully Disobedience will find a bit more of an audience.

New Doctor Strange Trailer – Benedict Cumberbatch may have made the weirdest Marvel movie yet

July 24, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

DOCTOR-STRANGE-PAYOFF-POSTER-slideIf this trailer is anything to go by, Marvel is meeting Inception with Doctor Strange, and Benedict Cumberbatch is going to have a slightly odd American accent. It does look pretty cool – if strange – though.

Cumberbatch plays Stephen Vincent Strange, a former neurosurgeon who becomes the next Sorcerer Supreme and primary protector of Earth against magical and mystical threats. Tilda Swinton will play Strange’s mentor, the Ancient One, while Chiwetel Ejiofor will appear as Baron Mordo, who also studies magic under the Ancient One, before becoming Doctor Strange’s nemesis. Mads Mikelsen is also onboard to play one of the main villains, as you will see in the trailer, while Rachel McAdams is Christine Palmer.

Scott Derrickson is directing the movie. It’ll be in cinemas November 2016. [Read more…]

Spotlight (Cinema Review)

January 26, 2016 By Mike Martin Leave a Comment

Starring: Michael Keaton, Rachel McAdams, Mark Ruffalo, Liev Schreiber, John Slattery
Director: Tom McCarthy
Running Time: 128 mins
Certificate: 15
Release Date: January 29th 2016 (UK)

For many, All the President’s Men is the ultimate 70s paranoia movie, the film which inspired a generation of investigative journalists. Now, all these years later, comes a film which in every way is its equal. Spotlight is angry, unbearably tense, brilliantly written and performed, and of course based on a real life scandal, arguably one of the biggest scandals to hit America since the 1970s.

The newsroom in question is the Boston Globe, specifically its special investigations section called Spotlight. Its leader is Michael Keaton, who immediately comes under pressure to deliver a story by new editor Live Schreiber, a peculiar, possibly autistic man but one who is thorough in his job and sees potential in a story about a child abuse case. Keaton agrees to pursue the story with his crack team, including the driven Mark Ruffalo and the sensitive Rachel McAdams. They slowly reveal several cases of abuse of children in the 1970s by Catholic priests, and try to get the victims, now very fragile adults, to reveal their stories. [Read more…]

Rachel McAdams Top Choice For The Female Lead In Marvel’s Doctor Strange

July 28, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

rachel-mcadamsFor quite some time now Benedict Cumberbatch has been attached to play the title role in Marvel’s Doctor Strange, but it’s only now they’re properly looking for a female lead to star opposite him, and according to Variety (confirming earlier rumours), Rachel McAdams is the top choice.

McAdams had previously suggested she was in contention for the film, telling the LA Times a few days ago, “It’s still super-early days, and I don’t know where that’s gonna go, if it’s gonna go anywhere at all.” However if she takes the role, it’s not clear who she will play.

Scott Derrickson is set to direct the movie which follows the title character, Doctor Strange (Cumberbatch), who is a former neurosurgeon, a practicing sorcerer, and becomes the Sorcerer Supreme, the primary protector of Earth against magical and mystical threats. Tilda Swinton and Chiwetel Ejiofor are also set to star.

The film will shoot this year, with a November 2016 release set.

New Southpaw Trailer – Jake Gyllenhaal beefs up and gets into the ring

June 7, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

southpaw-poster1After getting skinny for the excellent Nightcrawler, Jake Gyllenhaal has been hitting the gym massively and beefed up to the max for the boxing drama Southpaw. Now a new trailer has arrived, which you can watch below.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘From acclaimed director Antoine Fuqua (TRAINING DAY) and starring Academy Award® nominated Jake Gyllenhaal (NIGHTCRAWLER, BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN) comes a story of tragedy, loss and the painful road to redemption… Billy “The Great” Hope (Gyllenhaal) is the reigning Junior Middleweight Champion whose unorthodox stance, the so-called “Southpaw,” consists of an ineloquent, though brutal, display of offensive fighting…one fueled by his own feelings of inadequacy and a desperate need for love, money and fame. With a beautiful family, home and financial security, Billy is on top both in and out of the ring until a tragic accident leaves his wife dead and sends him into a downward spiral.

‘His days now an endless haze of alcohol and prescription drugs, his daughter taken by Child Services and his home repossessed by the bank, Billy’s fate is all but sealed until a washed up former boxer named Tick agrees to take the bereaved pugilist under his wing so long as he agrees to his strict ethos. Relentless and utterly committed to a fighter that thinks as much as he throws punches, Tick rebuilds Billy into a new man: one that is agile, fearsome and uncompromising in the ring while thoughtful, loving and disciplined outside of it. Now, as he works to regain custody of his daughter and mounts a professional comeback, Billy must face his demons head-on as he learns that, sometimes, your greatest opponent can be yourself.’

The film hits cinemas in July. [Read more…]

Southpaw Trailer – Jake Gyllenhaal gets ripped to play a boxer

March 27, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

southpaw-movie-pic1Believe it or not, this ought to have been Eminem. When Southpaw was originally put into development the rapper was going to star, with the story being a metaphorical take on his life. However after Eminem left the film lived on and now it’s Jake Gyllenhaal who’s got completely ripped to play a boxer in the movie.

Eminem is still involved though as a producer and it was through his Youtube that the trailer was released.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘From acclaimed director Antoine Fuqua (TRAINING DAY) and starring Academy Award® nominated Jake Gyllenhaal (NIGHTCRAWLER, BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN) comes a story of tragedy, loss and the painful road to redemption… Billy “The Great” Hope (Gyllenhaal) is the reigning Junior Middleweight Champion whose unorthodox stance, the so-called “Southpaw,” consists of an ineloquent, though brutal, display of offensive fighting…one fueled by his own feelings of inadequacy and a desperate need for love, money and fame.

Aloha Trailer – Emma Stone & Bradley Cooper star in Cameron Crowe’s latest

February 12, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

aloha-trailer-stillCameron Crowe sure does like to take his time. There was a six year gap between Elizabethtown and We Bought A Zoo, and while it seemed he was going to quickly follow it with a Hawaii set movie, it’s taken a bit longer than originally planned.

The movie shot back in 2013, but it’s only now it’s finally preparing for release.

Aloha is about a defence contractor (Bradley Cooper) who is overseeing the launch of a weapons satellite in Hawaii. He ends up falling for an Air Force pilot (Emma Stone), and together they secretly plan to sabotage the launch. Giving things a slightly sci-fi flavour, the movie also features mysterious island forces and a talking computer. Rachel McAdams, John Krasinski, Danny McBride, Jay Baruchel and Alec Baldwin also star.

The film is due out in the US in May, while it currently looks like the UK will have to wait until September. [Read more…]
