Rocketman Trailer – Taron Egerton is a fantastical version of a young Elton John

October 2, 2018 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Director Dexter Fletcher has certainly thrown himself into biopic of gay music legends recently, even if it was partially by accident. He ended up taking over direction of the Queen/Freddie Mercury biopic Bohemian Rhapsody, and he’s also behind the lens for the long-gestating fantastical look at a young Elton John, Rocketman.

Here’s the brief synopsis: #ROCKETMAN is an epic musical fantasy about the uncensored human story of Sir Elton John’s breakthrough years, starring Taron Egerton, Jamie Bell, Richard Madden and Bryce Dallas Howard.’ As you’d expect from Elton, this is not your typical biopic, with the whole thing taking place in a larger than life universe.

The film’s due in cinemas May 2019. Take a look at the first teaser trailer for the movie below. [Read more…]

New Robin Hood Trailer – Taron Egerton takes on the legendary outlaw

October 2, 2018 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Hollywood can’t resist Robin Hood, even if there have been two films about him that have failed for every one that’s succeeded. Now a new one is coming, with Taron Egerton in the title role (you could be forgiven for having never heard about it though, or just having forgotten it existed).

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Robin of Loxley (Taron Egerton) a war-hardened Crusader and his Moorish commander (Jamie Foxx) mount an audacious revolt against the corrupt English crown in a thrilling action-adventure packed with gritty battlefield exploits, mind-blowing fight choreography, and a timeless romance.’

The movie is in UK cinemas on November 21st. Take a look at the new trailer for the movie below, plus a poster for the film. [Read more…]

Taron Egerton Set To Play Elton John In Rocketman Biopic

April 22, 2018 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

For the past few years Elton John and his hubby David Furnish have been working on a musical movie biopic of the singer’s life. Initially they had Ton Hardy on board for the central, but now he’s out and Taron Egerton is in, according to Variety.

John must have been impressed by the young star when they worked together on Kingsman: The Golden Circle.

There’s also been a change in the directors chair, with Dexter Fletcher (who’s just replaced Bryan Singer on the Queen biopic, Bohemian Rhapsody) taking over from the previously attached Michael Gracey. It’s previously been reported that Lee Hall’s script will follow Elton John’s journey from 5-year old musical prodigy who by age 11 won a scholarship to the Royal Academy of Music, to a young man who rebelled against his strict upbringing, wore outrageous costumes and became a global icon who teamed with songwriter Bernie Taupin to sell more records that just about any musical artist of his era. It will also feature some fantastical elements and plenty of the singer’s music, in keeping with John’s larger than life personality. It’ll shoot this summer.

First Look At Taron Egerton & Jamie Foxx In Robin Hood

December 11, 2017 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

There have been successful Robin Hood movies and failed Robin Hood movies, but he’s a character that Hollywood never gives up on. A new take is on it’s way, which focuses on a slightly younger Robin than we’re used to (it was previously titled ‘Robin Hood: Origins’ but is now just plain Robin Hood), in the form of Taron Egerton.

The first images from the film have been released, which you can take a look at below.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Robin Hood (Taron Egerton) a war-hardened Crusader and his Moorish commander (Jamie Foxx) mount an audacious revolt against the corrupt English crown in a thrilling action-adventure packed with gritty battlefield exploits, mind-blowing fight choreography, and a timeless romance.​’

The cast of the film also includes Jamie Dornan as Will Scarlet, Eve Hewson as Maid Marian, Tim Minchin as Friar Tuck and Ben Mendelsohn as the Sheriff of Nottingham. The movie is due in cinemas September 2018. [Read more…]

New Kingsman: The Golden Circle Trailer – The Americans are getting in on Taron Egerton’s action

July 20, 2017 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Following the success Kingsman: The Secret Service, it’s no surprise we’re getting a sequel. That follow-up will introduce us to the American equivalent of Taron Egerton’s Eggsy, with the likes of Halle Berry, Pedro Pascal, Channing Tatum, and Jeff Bridges joining the throng. And Colin Firth’s back too, with Julianne Moore as the villain.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘In “Kingsman: The Golden Circle,” our heroes face a new challenge. When their headquarters are destroyed and the world is held hostage, their journey leads them to the discovery of an allied spy organisation in the US called Statesman. These two elite secret organizations band together to defeat a ruthless common enemy, in order to save the world, something that’s becoming a bit of a habit for Eggsy…’

A new trailer for the movie has been released, which you can take a look at below, along with a selection of new character posters. It’ll be in cinemas in September. [Read more…]

Jamie Dornan May Be Will Scarlett In Robin Hood: Origins

September 20, 2016 By Tim Isaac 1 Comment

jamie-dornan-ELLE-slideIt looks like Jamie Dornan is heading from the Red Room to Sherwood Forest, as Variety reports that he’s in talks to play Will Scarlet in Robin Hood: Origins. If he does sign on, he’ll join Taron Egerton in the title role, Eve Hewson as Maid Marian, and Jamie Foxx as Little John.

As the title suggests the movie will be about the legendary character’s early days. However it’s not going back too far, as it’s previously been reported that here Robin ‘returns from fighting in The Crusades and finds that Sherwood Forest is rife with corruption and evil. He forms a band of outlaws and they take matters into their own hands.’

Otto Bathurst (Peaky Blinders) is set to direct from a script by Joby Harold. It’s expected the film will be released next year, with hopes it can become a franchise.

Eddie The Eagle (Blu-ray Review)

August 7, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Starring: Taron Egerton, Hugh Jackman, Tim McInnerny, Keith Allen, Jo Hartley
Director: Dexter Fletcher
Running Time: 106 mins
Certificate: PG
Release Date: August 8th 2016 (UK)

Anyone British who was around in the 80s will probably remember Michael ‘Eddie’ Edwards, the unlikely figure who became an international sensation at the 1988 Winter Olympics, not due to the fact he was so good, but because he defied what you would normally think an Olympian would be when he took to the semi-suicidal slopes of the ski jump. Eddie The Eagle gives us a fictionalised take on that story.

Eddie (Taron Egerton) has long wanted to be an Olympian, but coming from a humble background he doesn’t have some of the advantages of others, and nor does the British Olympic Committee thinks he’s Olympic material – or at least that he’s not posh enough. His father (Keith Allen) thinks he should just give up and become a plasterer like him, but then Eddie has an idea – to become a ski jumper. Britain hasn’t sent a ski jumper to the Olympics since the 1920s, and under the rules in the 1980s, that means he should get an automatic place if he signs up to compete. [Read more…]

Search For The Young Han Solo Narrows To The Likes Of Alden Ehrenreich, Jack Reynor & Taron Egerton

March 15, 2016 By Tim Isaac 2 Comments

egerton-reynor-ehrenreichThe search for the actor who will play young Han Solo in the planned Star Wars spin-off that will focus on the characters’ early days continues to narrow. Back in January it was said the likes of Miles Teller, Ansel Elgort, Dave Franco, Logan Lerman, Jack Reynor, Scott Eastwood, Emory Cohen, and Blake Jenner were on the shortlist.

Things seem to have shifted to some new names, with THR reporting that at screen tests in London last weekend were the likes of Alden Ehrenreich (Hail, Caesar!); Jack Reynor (Transformers: Age of Extinction), Taron Egerton (Kingsman), and Emory Cohen (Brooklyn). Other names are also believed to still be in the mix, with Variety adding Blake Jenner (Everybody Wants Some!!) and Jack O’Connell (Unbroken).

Previous reports have suggested that while the movie isn’t expected to go into production until January 2017 (for a release May 25, 2018), the reason that they want to find their man now is because of a planned cameo in this year’s Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, which is also set before the events of Star Wars: A New Hope. Phil Lord and Christopher Miller (21 Jump Street, The Lego Movie) are set to direct the Han Solo flick.

A decision on who will get the role is expected very soon.

Halle Berry Will Be The CIA Chief In Kingsman 2

March 13, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

halle-berryIt looks like there are a couple more Kingsman movies planned, as Deadline reports that not only is Halle Berry in talks to play the head of the CIA in Kingsman 2, but it’s part of a two-picture deal, suggesting a third movie in the series is already in the works. No deal has been signed yet, but it looks like Berry will take the role.

There’s not too much info on the plot, but we do know that Julianne Moore has signed up to play the villain. Having the CIA Chief involved also seems to confirm director Matthew Vaughn’s hint that the second movie may involve the American counterpart to the British spy action of Kingsman.

It’s not too surprising that Colin Firth won’t be back, but Taron Egerton will indeed return. The film will shoot this summer, with a June 16th, 2017 release date already set.
