The Favourite Trailer – Olivia Colman & Emma Stone have a royal lesbian tryst

September 5, 2018 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

After the recent screening of The Favourite in competition at the Venice Film Festival, Olivia Colman & Emma Stone couldn’t help but gush about how much fun they had having sex with one another. After being asked about the sexual politics of the 18th Century royal drama, Colman said, “Sexual politics? There was lots of it, and that’s good. That’s timeless, I suppose. That will always happen. It’s as though we think we invented sex, but we didn’t, it’s been going on for quite a long time. And it was awfully fun having sex with Emma Stone.”

Stone then replied, “It was really fun having sex with you too. It was very comfortable.”

Although just in case anyone took the comment a bit too literally, she said, “We didn’t really!”

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Early 18th century. England is at war with the French. Nevertheless, duck racing and pineapple eating are thriving. A frail Queen Anne (Olivia Colman) occupies the throne and her close friend Lady Sarah (Rachel Weisz) governs the country in her stead while tending to Anne’s ill health and mercurial temper. When a new servant Abigail (Emma Stone) arrives, her charm endears her to Sarah. Sarah takes Abigail under her wing and Abigail sees a chance at a return to her aristocratic roots. As the politics of war become quite time consuming for Sarah, Abigail steps into the breach to fill in as the Queen’s companion. Their burgeoning friendship gives her a chance to fulfil her ambitions and she will not let woman, man, politics or rabbit stand in her way.

The trailer for the movie has now arrived, which you can take a look at below. The Favourite is released in UK Cinemas on January 1st, 2019.

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…]

The Mercy Trailer – Colin Firth takes on a real-life sailing tale with Rachel Weisz

November 22, 2017 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Synopsis: ‘Following his Academy Award® winning film The Theory of Everything, James Marsh directs the incredible true story of Donald Crowhurst (COLIN FIRTH, The King’s Speech, Kingsman: The Secret Service, The Railway Man), an amateur sailor who competed in the 1968 Sunday Times Golden Globe Race in the hope of becoming the first person in history to single-handedly circumnavigate the globe without stopping. With an unfinished boat and his business and house on the line, Donald leaves his wife, Clare (RACHEL WEISZ, The Light Between Oceans, The Lobster) and their children behind, hesitantly embarking on an adventure on his boat the Teignmouth Electron.

‘Co-starring DAVID THEWLIS (Anomalisa, The Theory of Everything) and KEN STOTT (‘War & Peace’, The Hobbit), and produced by Blueprint Pictures (The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel, In Bruges), the story of Crowhurst’s dangerous solo voyage and the struggles he confronted on the epic journey while his family awaited his return is one of the most enduring mysteries of recent times.’

The movie is due in UK cinemas 9th February 2018. Take a look at the trailer and poster below. [Read more…]

The Light Between Oceans (Blu-ray Review) – Michael Fassbender & Alicia Vikander go romantic baby-stealing

March 12, 2017 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Starring: Alicia Vikander, Michael Fassbender, Rachel Weisz
Director: Derek Cianfrance
Running Time: 133 mins
Certificate: 12
Release Date: March 13th 2017 (UK)

After the end of the First World War, former soldier Tom Sherbourne (Michael Fassbender) takes a job as the keeper of an isolated lighthouse off the coast of Australia. While he’s hoping for some time alone, he’s surprised to find romance with the young Isabel (Alicia Vikander), who soon becomes his wife. Their happiness on the remote island is hampered by the fact she loses several children during pregnancy.

Fate then intervenes when a boat washes up on the shore with a dead man and a live baby in it. While Tom knows he must signal the mainland about this unexpected development, his wife realises that if they stay silent, no one is likely to question whether the child was theirs or not. After deciding to keep the baby girl, Tom accidentally discovers whose child it really is, and that there’s a grieving mother on the mainland. [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.

Starring: James Franco, Michelle Williams, Rachel Weisz, Mila Kunis, Zach Braff
Director: Sam Raimi
Running Time: 140 mins
Certificate: PG
Release Date: March 8th 2013

After much fanfare and a marketing blitz, Oz The Great And Powerful is finally here. So is it worth going down the yellow brick road on Sam Raimi’s trip to L. Frank Baum’s magical world? Are the Friends Of Oscar as good as the Friends Of Dorothy? The answer is yes, even if the film is far from perfect.

James Franco is Oscar Diggs, a Kansan sideshow magician and huckster who sells his illusions as real magic. He has an eye for the ladies and doesn’t care that’s he’s left a thousand broken hearts behind him, but things catch up to him when the circus strongman realises Oscar has been dallying with his gal. Oscar escapes in his hot air balloon (goodness knows why he was one, but he does), which then gets caught up in a twister and transports him all the way to Oz. [Read more…]

Final Oz The Great & Powerful Trailer Arrives – Heading into the wonderful world

March 1, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment


It’s just a week until Oz The Great And Powerful hits cinemas on March 8th, and in case people weren’t excited enough, Disney has released a final trailer showing off the excitement and incredible visuals of Sam Raimi’s movie.

Here’s the official synopsis: ‘Disney’s fantastical adventure “Oz The Great and Powerful,” directed by Sam Raimi, imagines the origins of L. Frank Baum’s beloved wizard character. When Oscar Diggs (James Franco), a small-time circus magician with dubious ethics, is hurled away from dusty Kansas to the vibrant Land of Oz, he thinks he’s hit the jackpot—fame and fortune are his for the taking—that is until he meets three witches, Theodora (Mila Kunis), Evanora (Rachel Weisz) and Glinda (Michelle Williams), who are not convinced he is the great wizard everyone’s been expecting.

‘Reluctantly drawn into the epic problems facing the Land of Oz and its inhabitants, Oscar must find out who is good and who is evil before it is too late. Putting his magical arts to use through illusion, ingenuity—and even a bit of wizardry—Oscar transforms himself not only into the great wizard but into a better man as well.’
