October 2, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Two-time Academy Award nominee Jude Law captains the cast of Black Sea, the suspenseful adventure thriller directed by Academy Award winner Kevin Macdonald (One Day in September, The Last King of Scotland).

Black Sea centres on a rogue submarine captain (Jude Law) who, after being laid off from a salvage company, pulls together a misfit crew to go after a sunken treasure rumoured to be lost in the depths of the Black Sea. As greed and desperation take control on board their claustrophobic vessel, the increasing uncertainty of the mission causes the men to turn on each other to fight for their own survival.

The cast also includes Scoot McNairy (Argo), British Independent Film Award winner Ben Mendelsohn (Starred Up), David Threlfall (Shameless), Konstantin Khabenskiy (Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy), Sergey Puskepalis (How I Ended This Summer), British Independent Film Award winner Michael Smiley (Kill List), and Grigory Dobrygin (A Most Wanted Man).

The film is due out in the UK on 5th December 2014. [Read more…]

Scoot McNairy Up For Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice

June 27, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Ever since Monsters, Scoot McNairy has become an increasingly popular face for directors looking to fill important supporting roles, such as in Killing Them Softly, Argo, Non-Stop, 12 Years A Slave and the upcoming Gone Girl. Now he’s got a new role, as Deadline reports he’s signed up for Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice.

However nobody at Warner Bros. has confirmed the casting and there’s no news on who he might be playing. That could mean the versatile McNairy is just joining to play a small side-role, but as little news has been released about the plot he could be a more major character. Some are speculating that the fact his casting was announced after a month of shooting has already taken place, means he could have a cameo in Batman v Superman, but will become more important in future DC movies such as Justice League.

McNairy joined Henry Cavill (Clark Kent/Superman), Ben Affleck (Bruce Wayne/Batman), Amy Adams (Lois Lane), Diane Lane (Martha Kent), Laurence Fishburne (Perry White), Gal Gadot (Diana Prince/Wonder Woman), Jesse Eisenberg (Lex Luthor), Jeremy Irons (Alfred Pennyworth), Holly Hunter, Callan Mulvey, Ray Fisher and Tao Okamoto.

Zack Snyder is directing from a script by Chris Terrio and David S. Goyer. It’ll be in cinemas May 6th, 2016.

Killing Them Softly (Blu-ray)

February 21, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Starring: Scoot McNairy, Ben Mendelsohn, James Gandolfini, Ray Liotta, Brad Pitt
Director: Andrew Dominik
Running Time: 97 mins
Certificate: 18
Release Date: February 25th 2013

When you start watching Killing Them Softly, you might be confused about why this Brad Pitt film seems to have a distinct lack of Brad Pitt. He doesn’t turn up until nearly 30 minutes in, but certainly makes his presence felt when he does arrive.

Before he comes on-screen we follow Frankie (Scoot McNairy) and Russell (Ben Mendelsohn), two small-time hoods who are talked into ripping off a mob-controlled card game. As you’d expect the local criminal fraternity isn’t top impressed by this, and so hire Jackie (Pitt) to find out who’s responsible and hunt them down. [Read more…]

October 11, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Julianne Moore, Michelle Dockery, and Scoot McNairy have signed on to star alongside the previously cast Liam Neeson and Nate Parker in director Jaume Collet-Serra’s upcoming movie Non-Stop, according to Variety.

Neeson is set to play as an air marshall who receives text messages from someone who claims to be on his flight and is threatening to kill passengers on board. Parker will play a passenger who helps the air marshall identify the threat. Unfortunately no character details have been given for Julianne Moore, Michelle Dockery, and Scoot McNairy’s characters, although presumably they’ll be on the flight too.

Jaume Collet-Serra is directing from a screenplay by Christopher Roach and John W. Richardson. Production begins November 1 in NYC.

June 6, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

The cast of Steve McQueen’s 12 Years a Slave has grown substantially, with Paul Giamatti, Sarah Paulson, Scoot McNairy, Ruth Negga, and Garret Dillahunt all signing on to star in the period drama, according to Variety.

The movie is based on the true story of Solomon Northrup (Chiwetel Ejiofor), a New York free black man who was kidnapped in Washington D.C. in 1841, and sold to a Louisiana plantation. He was a slave for 12 years before being rescued. Paul Giamatti is playing Freeman, who takes possession of the slaves after they arrive in New Orleans. Sarah Paulson the jealous wife of Michael Fassbender’s character. It isn’t clear who Scoot McNairy, Ruth Negga, and Garret Dillahunt will play. Brad Pitt and Benedict Cumberbatch also star.

Steve McQueen is directing from a screenplay he co-wrote with John Ridley, which is adapted from Northrup’s 1853 non-fiction book.
