Hector and the Search For Happiness Trailer – First look at the Simon Pegg movie

February 7, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment


The first trailer for the feel-good drama Hector and the Search For Happiness has arrived, and as you’ll be able to see, it has a great cast including Simon Pegg, Rosamund Pike, Toni Collette, Christopher Plummer, Jean Reno and Stellan Skarsgard.

Hector and the Search For Happiness tells the story of Hector (Pegg), an eccentric yet lovable London psychiatrist who finds himself at a crossroads: His patients just aren’t getting any happier and his life is going nowhere. With encouragement from his girlfriend, Clara (Pike), Hector decides to break away from his sheltered life and go on a global quest to find out whether happiness truly exists – and more importantly, whether it exists for Hector. With the help of friends old and new, Hector embarks on a journey of self-discovery that proves colourful, dangerous, exotic and hilarious.

It will hit UK cinemas this autumn. [Read more…]

November 12, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

kill-me-three-times-pic1Simon Pegg is going for a bit of a different look in Kill Me Three Times if the first image above is anything to by, as we’re not used to seeing him with a huge gun and a 70s moustache, while playing a hired killer. Timed to coincide with the American Film Market, Indiewire premiered the image.

The movie is an ‘Aussie thriller that centers on a young singer (Alive Braga) in a multi-threaded tale of blackmail and revenge that includes a mercurial assassin (Simon Pegg), a gambling addict (Sullivan Stapleton) and a small town Lady Macbeth (Teresa Palmer), amongst others’. Those others include Luke Hemsworth, Bryan Brown and Callan Mulvey.

Kriv Stenders directs, with the plan being to release the movie sometime next year.
