Tinker Bell and the Pirate Fairy Trailer – Tom Hiddleston joins the Disney Fairies flick

By Leave a Comment


Disney has had a surprising amount of success with its Tinker Bell movies, and for the latest one it’s even recruited Tom Hiddleston to play the man who will eventually become Captain Hook.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘When a misunderstood dust-keeper fairy named Zarina steals Pixie Hollow’s all-important Blue Pixie Dust, and flies away to join forces with the pirates of Skull Rock, Tinker Bell and her fairy friends must embark on the adventure of a lifetime to return it to its rightful place. However, in the midst of their pursuit of Zarina, Tink’s world is turned upside down. She and her friends find that their respective talents have been switched and they have to race against time to retrieve the Blue Pixie Dust and return home to save Pixie Hollow. “Tinker Bell and The Pirate Fairy” is an all-new movie full of comedy, heart and epic thrills for the whole family.

‘Directed by Peggy Holmes, (“Secret of the Wings”) “Tinker Bell and The Pirate Fairy” will set sail in UK cinemas on 14 February 2014.’ [Read more…]

Thor: The Dark World Gets A Bit Gayer In One Chinese Cinema

By Leave a Comment

Thor-The-Dark-World-gay-china
If you’ve seen the Russian poster for Thor: The Dark World, you might not have thought any promo for the movie could get any gayer, however one Chinese cinema has managed to top it. While most theatres get their posters from the distributor, this cinema decided to make their own, but made a bit of a faux pas while doing it.

Rather than using official art, they managed to get hold of a piece of fan-made homoerotic Photoshop work, which makes Thor and his younger brother Loki look far closer than they perhaps ought to be (but at least they’re not related by blood).

Even if it is homemade, Loki looks thrilled about it, as if all his evil acts have just been a reaction to not being in Thor’s arms. It’s not know quite how the Shanghai cinema made the mistake, but it was brought to light when an image of it appeared on Reddit.

You can compare the Chinese version above with the official version below. Personally I’m preferring the top one. [Read more…]

Only Lovers Left Alive Trailer – Tom Hiddleston & Tilda Swinton turn vampire

By 1 Comment


Tom Hiddleston and Tilda Swinton are trying out being undead in Only Lovers Left Alive, which attracted rather mixed notices on its Toronto Film Festival debut. However the trailer suggests it could be rather intriguing.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Starring Tilda Swinton, Tom Hiddleston, Mia Wasikowska, John Hurt, Anton Yelchin and Jeffrey Wright, ONLY LOVERS LEFT ALIVE takes place against the romantic desolation of Detroit and Tangier and follows an underground musician, deeply depressed by the direction of human activities, who reunites with his resilient and enigmatic lover. Their love story has already endured several centuries at least, but their debauched idyll is soon disrupted by her wild and uncontrollable younger sister.’

It should be out next year. [Read more…]

Benedict Cumberbatch, Henry Cavill Or Tom Hiddleston May Go Up Everest

By 1 Comment

benedict-cumberbatchThe Fifth Estate may have bombed badly at the US box office last weekend, but Benedict Cumberbart is still very much in demand. That includes by Doug Liman, who wants him for his upcoming film, Everest, according the Deadline.

There are plenty of other hot names in contention, including Joel Kinnaman, James McAvoy, Tom Hiddleston, Henry Cavill, Luke Evans, Dan Stevens, Matthew Goode, and Jim Sturgess – although it’s not known which of those will actually end up in the film as the legendary George Mallory and his Australian rival George Finch . Tom Hardy was previously attached, but was forced to drop out due to scheduling conflicts.

The story is an adaptation of Jeffrey Archer’s non-fiction book Paths of Glory, which is all about explorer George Mallory’s attempt to get into the record books as the first man to reach the top of Mount Everest. The movie is all about Mallory’s obsession with the mountain, as well as his rivalry with fellow climber George Finch.

Mallory and his climbing partner Sandy Irvine failed in two attempts to scale the mountain in 1921 and 1922. They were spotted near the summit on their third attempt in 1924 but nobody knows if they actually made it to the top, as they died on the mountain. Their remains were discovered in 1999 by Mark Anker.

There’s also another movie called Everest in the works, which has Josh Brolin, John Hawkes, Jake Gyllenhaal and Jason Clarke circling. That one is due to shoot this autumn and is about an infamous incident in 1996, when tragedy struck two separate groups who tried to reach the summit of Mount Everest.

Tom Hiddleston’s Loki & Anthony Hopkin’s Odin Get Cool New Thor: The Dark World Posters

By Leave a Comment

thor-the-dark-world-poster5
It’s less than two months until Thor: The Dark World is launched on the world and we can return to Asgard for Marvel’s latest adventure. We’ve been sent two new posters, featuring Tom Hiddleston’s Loki and Anthony Hopkins’ Odin, and we have to say, they’re pretty cool.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Marvel’s “Thor: The Dark World” continues the big-screen adventures of Thor, the Mighty Avenger, as he battles to save Earth and all the Nine Realms from a shadowy enemy that predates the universe itself.  In the aftermath of Marvel’s “Thor” and “Marvel’s The Avengers,” Thor fights to restore order across the cosmos…but an ancient race led by the vengeful Malekith returns to plunge the universe back into darkness. Faced with an enemy that even Odin and Asgard cannot withstand, Thor must embark on his most perilous and personal journey yet, one that will reunite him with Jane Foster and force him to sacrifice everything to save us all.

‘Starring Chris Hemsworth, Natalie Portman, Tom Hiddleston, Stellan Skarsgård, Idris Elba, Christopher Eccleston, Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje, Kat Dennings, Ray Stevenson, Zachary Levi, Tadanobu Asano, and Jaimie Alexander with Rene Russo and Anthony Hopkins as Odin, Marvel’s “Thor: The Dark World” is directed by Alan Taylor, produced by Kevin Feige, from a story by Don Payne (credit not final) and screenplay by Christopher Yost and Christopher Markus & Stephen McFeely (credit not final) and is based on Marvel’s classic Super Hero Thor, who first appeared in the comic book “Journey into Mystery “ #83 in August, 1962.’

The film’s out in the UK on October 30th and the US a week later.

New Thor: The Dark World Pics Show Off Chris Hemsworth, Tom Hiddleston & More

By Leave a Comment

thor-2-empire-pic9
Empire has gone slightly Thor: The Dark World crazy, with four different covers for the film with their new issue. They’ve also a slew on new pics from the film, showing off the world of Asgard, along with the likes of Chris Hemsworth, Tom Hiddleston, Natalie Portman, Stellan Skarsgard, Idris Elba, Jaimie Alexander and loads more.

It’s also our best look yet at Christopher Eccleston under a load of make-up as the evil Malekit, as well as his minions.

And don’t expect everyone to survive this film, as director Alan Taylor has revealed,”You know, we are killing Asgardians in this movie. It turns out immortality isn’t all that it was cracked up to be.”
Hopefully that isn’t the reason Loki isn’t in The Avengers: Age Of Ultron, as there will be a lot of angry fans if it is.

Producer Craig Kyle also spoke about how the events of Thor lead into Thor: The Dark World. “When the Bifrost was broken at the end of the first film, Odin had to conjure a lot of dark energy and go through a lot of personal sacrifice to try and get his son back to Earth,” he says. “And it was a one-shot deal. If Thor didn’t succeed, without the Tesseract he couldn’t have got back again. And in our film, finally the Bifrost has been rebuilt, but during that time, when the cops were largely cut off from the rest of the universe, you had miscreants that came in from outside the Nine Realms, pillaging and destroying and causing havoc. So that’s what our guys have been doing now – trying to put all these fires out across the Nine Realms.”

Thor: The Dark World is out November 8th, 2013.

Take A Look At Tom Hiddleston Singing The Bare Necessities

By Leave a Comment


At Comic-Con Tom Hiddleston came out in full Loki gear to berate the crowd for being worthy and unworthy to be in his presence. Not to be outdone, for his appearance at Disney’s D23, he decided to do a short rendition of The Bare Necessities from The Jungle Book.

He sure likes to please a crowd (and as always looks ridiculously suave while doing it).

He was at the even alongside Christina Hendricks to promote the animated adventure The Pirate Fairy, in which he’ll voice a young man who’ll eventually become Captain Hook, while Hendricks will be a rebellious fairy.

However if Disney ever decides to remake The Jungle Book, they’ve now got Hiddleston’s audition to replace Phil Harris. [Read more…]

Tom Hiddleston Likes The Pirate Fairy In A New Disney Movie

By Leave a Comment

Tom Hiddleston at The Avengers LA PremiereAmong all the news that Disney has been revealing at their D23 Expo comes the announcement of a new Peter Pan prequel that Disneytoon Studios is making, The Pirate Fairy. While Disneytoon is largely responsible for Disney’s straight-to-DVD offerings, they do sometimes go a little bigger and theatrical, such as with the Cars spin-off Planes, which hit US theatres this weekend.

It seems they’ll be doing the same with The Pirate Fairy, and they’ve already signed Tom Hiddleston to help them. He’ll be playing a young Captain Hook in the movie. The film is a spin-off from Disney’s increasingly popular Tinker Bell series (which gave birth to the Disney Fairies brand).

Here’s the synopsis: ‘When a misunderstood dust-keeper fairy named Zarina steals Pixie Hollow’s all-important Blue Pixie Dust, and flies away to join forces with the pirates of Skull Rock, Tinker Bell and her fairy friends must embark on the adventure of a lifetime to return it to its rightful place. However, in the midst of their pursuit of Zarina, Tink’s world is turned upside down. She and her friends find that their respective talents have been switched and they have to race against time to retrieve the Blue Pixie Dust and return home to save Pixie Hollow.’

Hiddleston will be James,  a cabin boy who ends up becoming Captain Hook and who Zarina falls for. It should be out Spring 2014.
