By Leave a Comment

The-Nice-Guys-One-Sheet-slideAfter a sejourn into superhero territory with Iron Man 3, writer/director Shane Black (Kiss Kiss Bang Bang) returns to neo-noir with The Nice Guys, which has just dropped a new trailer. Take a look at it below.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘“The Nice Guys” takes place in 1970s Los Angeles, when down-on-his-luck private eye Holland March (Gosling) and hired enforcer Jackson Healy (Crowe) must work together to solve the case of a missing girl and the seemingly unrelated death of a porn star. During their investigation, they uncover a shocking conspiracy that reaches up to the highest circles of power.

‘The film also stars young actress Angourie Rice, Matt Bomer (the “Magic Mike” films, HBO’s “The Normal Heart”), Margaret Qualley (HBO’s “The Leftovers”), Keith David (TV’s “Community”) and Oscar winner Kim Basinger (“L.A. Confidential”).

‘Shane Black directed the film from an original screenplay he wrote with Anthony Bagarozzi. Joel Silver (“Non-Stop,” “The Matrix” films, the “Sherlock Holmes” films) produced the film under his Silver Pictures banner. Ken Kao, Hal Sadoff, Alex Walton and Michael J. Malone served as executive producers.

‘The behind-the-scenes creative team included Oscar-winning director of photography Philippe Rousselot (“A River Runs Through It,” the “Sherlock Holmes” films), production designer Richard Bridgland (“Serena,” “Unknown”), editor Joel Negrón (“21 Jump Street,” “Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen”), and costume designer Kym Barrett (“The Matrix” films, “The Amazing Spider-Man”). The score was composed by John Ottman (“X-Men: Days of Future Past”) & David Buckley (TV’s “The Good Wife”).’

The film will be out in the UK on June 3rd. [Read more…]

First Look At Ryan Gosling & Emma Stone In La La Land

By Leave a Comment

La-La-Land-pic1

Are you ready for a musical with Ryan Gosling & Emma Stone? While many don’t particular think of them for their singing, they’ve both actually opened up their pipes numerous times on screen (after all, Gosling was nearly in N*Sync) and now they’ve teamed up with Whiplash director Damien Chazelle for La La Land.

The film is about a lonely, aspiring actress (Stone) who desperately trying to find her way in Los Angeles. She meets jazz pianist Sebastian (Gosling) and they quickly fall in love. However they soon realise that balancing their art and their relationship isn’t as easy as they thought.

Chazelle has said of the movie, “I’d like to make a contemporary musical about L.A., starting with the L.A. we know but slowly building to a vision of the city as romantic metropolis–one that is actually worthy of the dreams it inspires. I’d like to make a musical about the way L.A.’s peculiar rhythms can push its residents to the edge of their emotions – be they hope, desperation or love.”

The film is due in cinemas this summer, but take a look at the first image above.

The Nice Guys Trailer – Ryan Gosling & Russell Crowe don’t want to get shot by Matt Bomer

By Leave a Comment

nice-guys-poster1-slideShane Black had a huge hit with Iron Man 3, but the Kiss Kiss Bang Bang writer/director is returning to the world of neo-noir with a dash of humour, with The Nice Guys. He’s lined up a great cast, including Ryan Gosling, Russell Crowe, Matt Bomer, Kim Basinger and Margaret Qualley.

A red band trailer is now here, which certainly makes it look like the film might be fun.

The film is about muscle-for-hire Jackson Healy (Crowe), a recovering alcoholic, and private detective Holland March (Gosling), a current alcoholic, who are brought together by the apparent suicide of a porn star. However the dead woman’s aunt (Basinger) claims that she saw her niece alive and well after she was supposed to have killed herself. Healy takes on the case hoping to make some easy money, but soon both men are dragged into a far-reaching conspiracy that is rooted in smog and the car industry.

And as you’ll see in the promo below, also seems to involve Matt Bomer really, really wanting to shoot them.

The Nice Guys will be in cinemas next summer.

Ryan Gosling Sought For Neil Armstrong Biopic, First Man

By Leave a Comment

ryan-goslingHollywood really will make a movie about anything. After all, what did Neil Armstrong ever do, other than be the first man on the moon? Ok, fair enough, maybe that is a good enough reason to make a movie about him.

Whiplash’s Damien Chazelle is planning to helm a movie based on James Hansen’s Armstrong biography First Man: A Life of Neil A. Armstrong, and he wants Ryan Gosling to star. Deadline reports that talks are taking place to the actor, but no deal has been struck yet.

The film would reunite Gosling and Chazelle, who’ve been working together recently on the upcoming La La Land.

Neil Armstrong was a aerospace engineer, naval aviator, test pilot who became NASA’s first civilian astronaut. Then, on his second and last trip into space he became the first man to walk on the moon. Afterwards he lived a far quieter life than he could have done, largely working as an educator and businessman. He died in 2012.

The Big Short Trailer – Christian Bale, Ryan Gosling & Brad Pitt get into a financial crisis

By Leave a Comment

big-short-trailer-slideThe Big Short certainly has an impressive cast – including Christian Bale, Ryan Gosling, Steve Carell, Melissa Leo, Brad Pitt, Marisa Tomei, Karen Gillan and Selena Gomez – all attracted by a major studio movie that takes on the causes of the financial crisis, and those who saw what was coming when no one else could.

They also all seem to have slightly odd hair, but perhaps financial type people like having hair that looks like it was stuck on their head.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘When four outsiders saw what the big banks, media and government refused to, the global collapse of the economy, they had an idea: The Big Short. Their bold investment leads them into the dark underbelly of modern banking where they must question everyone and everything. Based on the true story and best-selling book by Michael Lewis (The Blind Side, Moneyball), and directed by Adam Mckay (Anchorman, Step Brothers) The Big Short stars Christian Bale, Steve Carell, Ryan Gosling and Brad Pitt.’

An Oscar-qualifying Christmas release is planned for the US before in spreads to the rest of the world in early 2016. [Read more…]

Emma Stone & Ryan Gosling May Reunite & Gets Musical For La La Land

By Leave a Comment

emma-stone-ryan-goslingIt seems Ryan Gosling’s self-imposed acting hiatus is over as just a few days after it was reported he’s in talks for Guillermo Del Toro’s Haunted Mansion, Deadline says that he may be re-teaming with his Crazy Stupid Love and Gangster Squad co-star Emma Stone for La La Land.

If he does it’ll be a chance for him to show off his singing skills (he is, after all, a former Mousketeer who nearly ended up in N*Sync), as it’s a musical from Whiplash director Damien Chazelle.

The film has been described as ‘an old fashioned musical set in contemporary Los Angeles and centers on a love story between a jazz pianist and an aspiring actress.’ Their passion is tested by the extremes of living in a city of creativity and dreams.

Neither Stone nor Gosling has signed on as yet, but both are said to be circling the project. There’s also been talk of Eddie Redmayne taking the male lead, but it appears Gosling is more likely at the moment.

Ryan Gosling Up For Guillermo Del Toro’s Haunted Mansion

By Leave a Comment

ryan-goslingIt’s been several years since Guillermo Del Toro announced he was working on a movie based on Disney’s Haunted Mansion theme park ride. However we haven’t heard much about it since then, but now TheWrap reports that a deal is in the works for Ryan Gosling to star in the movie.

It would appear Del Toro and Gosling may have been plotting this for some time, as the director moderated a panel featuring the actor at SXSW and over Oscar weekend they were spotted together at Disney California Adventure.

There’s no news on the plot, but five years ago when Del Toro first announced the film, he said he wanted to create “a heightened reality, which is super designed, incredibly innovative, narratively and visually.” He added that he wanted to make “the Haunted Mansion the most haunted place on Earth… doing it by being true to the spirit and the art and the aesthetic of the original Imagineers that created the mansion.”

He’s also suggested it would be made in live-action 3D.

Brad Pitt, Christian Bale & Ryan Gosling Up For The Big Short

By Leave a Comment

bale-pitt-goslingIt’s all star cast time, as Variety reports that Brad Pitt, Christian Bale and Ryan Gosling are teaming up for the financial drama, The Big Short. Pitt also has his producer hat on for the movie, which will be his second adaptation of a Michael Lewis non-fiction book, following Moneyball.

Part of the reason for the starry line-up isn’t just down to Pitt’s involvement and Lewis’ reputation, but because it will be one of the first studio movies directly about the financial crash in the 2000s. Many have noticed that despite the global ramifications of the credit crunch and its fallout, Hollywood has generally only dealt with it obliquely. Even those films which appear to deal with it, such as The Wolf Of Wall Street, have tended to look at individuals more than the machine itself.

However Lewis ‘book tells the story of the build-up of the housing and credit bubble during the 2000s that led to the financial crisis of 2007-2010’.

Some have suggested Tinsel Town’s reluctance to handle it directly is due to the fact the studios rely on many of the institutions implicated in the crash for funding and financial ‘expertise’, and so haven’t wanted to be too critical. However Paramount is planning to back The Big Short.

It’s expected more major talent will sign up, as it’s planned as a Traffic-style ensemble tale, with lots of characters all who have a roughly similar sized role. However at the moment it’s not known currently involved actors will play.

Adam McKay, who’s best known for his comedy work with Will Ferrell (such as Anchorman, The Other Guys and Step Brothers), is set to write and direct. It’s not clear when it will shoot.

Matt Bomer Will Be One Of The Nice Guys Alongside Ryan Gosling

By Leave a Comment

matt-bomerThey seems to have confused the word ‘nice’ with ‘good-looking’ in the title of the film The Nice Guys, as it’s already got Ryan Gosling set to star, and now Deadline reports Matt Bomer has signed up too. Russell Crowe is also onboard, as is Margaret Qually.

The film is about muscle-for-hire Jackson Healy (Crowe), a recovering alcoholic, and private detective Holland March (Gosling), a current alcoholic, who are brought together by the apparent suicide of a porn star. However the dead woman’s aunt claims that she saw her niece alive and well after she was supposed to have killed herself. March takes on the case hoping to make some easy money, but soon both men are dragged into a far-reaching conspiracy that is rooted in smog and the car industry.

There’s not too much info on who Bomer will play, other than that he’s described as being ‘the heavy’. Qually meanwhile is daughter of a corrupt chief justice, who just happens to look an awful lot like the dead woman.

Shane Black is directing from a script he co-wrote with Anthony Bagarozzi. Bomer will head to the set as soon as he’s finished filming Magic Mike XXL.

The Nice Guys is due out June 2016.

Russell Crowe & Ryan Gosling May Be The Good Guys For Shane Black

By Leave a Comment

ryan-goslingAfter the massive success of Iron Man, Shane Black is plotting his next movie, a crime noir called The Nice Guys. Now TheWrap reports he’s eying his cast, with Russell Crowe and Ryan Gosling circling.

Neither actor is signed on yet as there are issues that would need to be sorted first. With Crowe, for example, there may be scheduling conflicts due to his need to promote his directorial debut, The Water Diviner.

The film is about muscle-for-hire Jackson Healy, a recovering alcoholic, and private detective Holland March, a current alcoholic, who are brought together by the apparent suicide of a porn star. However the dead woman’s aunt claims that she saw her niece alive and well after she was supposed to have killed herself. March takes on the case hoping to make some easy money, but soon both men are dragged into a far-reaching conspiracy that is rooted in smog and the car industry.

Black, who also wrote the script for The Nice Guys alongside Anthony Bagarozzi, has been trying to get the film off the ground for several years, but it’s only recently he’s had the clout to make it happen.
