Don Jon Trailer – Take a look at Joseph Gordon-Levitt’s directorial debut

May 23, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment


There’s been a lot of interest in Don Jon, largely because it’s the first film Joseph Gordon Levitt has directed. He also stars in the movie, alongside Scarlett Johnasson, Julianne Moore and Tony Danza. Now we can get out first taste with a trailer.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Jon Martello (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) is a strong, handsome, good old-fashioned guy. His buddies call him Don Jon due to his ability to “pull” a different woman every weekend, but even the finest fling doesn’t compare to the bliss he finds alone in front of the computer watching pornography. Barbara Sugarman (Scarlett Johansson) is a bright, beautiful, good old-fashioned girl. Raised on romantic Hollywood movies, she’s determined to find her Prince Charming and ride off into the sunset. Wrestling with good old-fashioned expectations of the opposite sex, Jon and Barbara struggle against a media culture full of false fantasies to try and find true intimacy in this unexpected comedy written and directed by Joseph Gordon-Levitt.’

It’s due out later this year. [Read more…]

May 16, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Scarlett Johansson at The Avengers LA PremiereThere’s an Iron Man 2 reunion in the offing, as the other day Jon Faveau added Robert Downey Jr. to his indie comedy, Chef, and now he’s brought Scarlett Johansson onboard too, according to Variety.

The movie is about Carl Casper (Jon Favreau) who loses his job as a chef in Los Angeles. He decides to start up a food truck to get his culinary juices flowing again, as well as to reconnect with his family. Scarlett Johansson is playing Molly, the restaurant manager and Carl’s on-and-off love interest.

Sofía Vergara, John Leguizamo, Bobby Cannavale, and Robert Downey Jr. co-star.

Favreau commented on Johansson’s casting, saying, “Scarlett is a tremendous talent and I’m honored to be collaborating with her again. I’m so fortunate to be working with such a fine ensemble.”

Scarlett Johansson Will Be The Ass-Kicking Lucy For Luc Besson

April 26, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Scarlett Johansson at The Avengers LA PremiereScarlett Johansson must have liked kicking-ass in The Avengers, as she’s going to do it again for Luc Besson in Lucy, according to THR, which says she’s in final talks to star in the movie.

Besson wrote the script for Lucy, which is about a woman who is forced to become a drug mule. However, things go wrong when the drugs start to leak into her body, transforming her into an ass-kicking machine. Miraculously she can absorb knowledge instantaneously, is able to move objects with her mind and can’t feel pain and other discomforts.

So it’s kind of a superhero movie, but a very unusual one.

There’s no news on when it might shoot, but Besson will presumably want to start on it soon after he’s finished Malavita, which stasr Robert De Niro as a crime boss who is relocated to Normandy as part of the witness protection program, but finds it difficult to let go of his old profession

Hitchcock (Cinema)

February 8, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Starring: Anthony Hopkins, Helen Mirren, Danny Huston, Toni Collette, James D'Arcy, Scarlett Johansson
Director: Sasha Gervasi
Running Time: 98 mins
Certificate: 12A
Release Date: February 8th 2013

Anthony Hopkins gave some amazing performances in the 1980s and 1990s, but for the last decade or so it’s seemed like he’s simply turned up for his paycheque. However it turns that to get him to give a real performance you’ve got to give him a role where he doesn’t have much choice but to act. After all, Alfred Hitchcock is far too well known for Hopkins just to have coasted it. Thankfully he doesn’t, not just doing a dead-on impersonations of the master director, but creating a fully realised character in a way Toby Jones couldn’t quite manage in the recent, The Girl.

Samuel L. Jackson, Cobie Smulders & Scarlett Johannson On For Captain America 2

October 31, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Yesterday, it was confirmed that Frank Grillo will play Crossbones in Captain America: The Winter Soldier. Now there’s some more casting news, which lets us know some familiar faces will be back for the film, as Variety reports that The Avengers stars Samuel L. Jackson, Scarlett Johansson, and Cobie Smulders will reprise their roles for this stand-alone sequel.

Captain America: The First Avenger star Sebastian Stan will also be back as Bucky Barnes, who turns into The Winter Soldier. You may be wondering how that’s possible if you’ve seen the first movie, but his return in a new form is one of the main aspects of the plot.

It isn’t known how integral the return of the S.H.I.E.L.D agents will be, or indeed if with a S.H.I.E.L.D TV show be planned, they will try and tie the events in the movie into that series.

Marvel has also issued a casting call for actors in Los Angeles and Cleveland, for both principal and extra roles. Production begins March 1, 2013, with shooting to take place in Los Angeles, Cleveland, and Washington D.C.

Avengers Smashes US Opening Weekend Record

May 7, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

This weekend exactly 10 years ago, an adaptation of a Marvel comic became the very first movie to make $100 million is a single weekend. That film was Spider-man and now, a decade on, another Marvel property has become the first movie to power past $200 million in only three days in the US, smashing numerous records in the process.

The film took $200.3 million on its US release, which is by far the biggest opening ever, ahead of last year’s Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows Part 2’s $169 million. It became the fastest film to $100 million, $150 million and $200 million, took the biggest Saturday ($69.7 million) and Sunday ($50.1 milion) gross ever and had the highest per-theatre average ever for a nationwide release of $46,057.

Perhaps just as impressively its already beaten the lifetime US take of Thor, Captain America and the Incredible Hulk, and will almost certainly pass both Iron Man films by next weekend. It’s a massive vindication of Marvel’s plan to make a series of interconnected movies and will ensure we see many more movies featuring the characters in the future.

The only bad news what that The Avengers dominance meant all the other movies in the top 10 took a big hit, but cinema owners are unlikely to be complaining, and will hope this is only the beginning of a huge summer. Take a look below for the US box office top 10 for the weekend of May 4th-6th 2012.

Rank Title Weekend Gross (millions) Total Gross to date (millions)
1 The Avengers $200.3 $200.3
2 Think Like A Man $8.0 $72.0
3 The Hunger Games $5.7 $380.7
4 The Lucky One $5.5 $47.9
5 The Pirates! Band Of Misfits $5.4 $18.5
6 The Five-Year Engagement $5.1 $19.2
7 The Raven $2.5 $12.0
8 Safe $2.4 $12.8
9 Chimpanzee $2.3 $23.0
10 The Three Stooges $1.8 $39.6

Avengers Assemble (Cinema)

April 26, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Starring: Chris Evans, Chris Hemsworth, Scarlett Johansson, Jeremy Renner, Robert Downey Jr.
Director: Joss Whedon
Running Time: 143 mins
Certificate: 12A
Release Date: April 26th, 2012

After years of build up, it’s finally here. While fanboys have long worried The Avengers (or Avengers Assemble as Disney wants us to call it in the UK, apparently because Brits are incapable of telling the difference between a 1960s TV show and a 2012 superhero movie) couldn’t live up to the hype, Joss Whedon has delivered.

It’s an action packed, rip-roaring juggernaut of a film, which pulls off the impressive trick of perfectly balancing a large ensemble cast, so that it feels as if everyone is there for a reason and has their own character arc. [Read more…]

Ben Kingsley In Talks For Villainous Iron Man 3 Role

April 10, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Poor old Ben Kingsley. Once upon a time he was Gandhi, but in more recent years his main stock in trade has been in shady characters. It appears he’ll soon have one more bad guy to add to his CV, as Variety reports that Ben Kingsley is in final negotiations to take on a villainous roles in Iron Man 3 for director Shane Black.

It isn’t known which character Ben Kingsley will play, but sources are adamant that the Oscar-winning actor will not be playing fan favourite villain Mandarin (which had been the initial assumption). Whoever the character is, they’re somehow involved in nanobot technology and they’ll be working against Tony Stark in the new movie.

Robert Downey Jr. will once again portray Iron Man, and Scarlett Johansson is expected to return as The Black Widow. The plot is rumored to revolve around the use of nanobots to replicate the super serum used to turn Steve Rogers into Captain America, something that’s likely to interest Stark, as his father was intimately involved with that project. Shooting is expected to kick off next month.
