New X-Men: Apocalypse Trailer – What happens when mutants start to believe they’re gods?

March 18, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Xmen_Apocalypse_CampD_Defend-slideThe timeline may have been reset with X-Men: Days Of Future Past, but that doesn’t mean there isn’t still plenty of problems between man and mutant – or more particularly in Apocalypse between mutant and mutant. Now a new trailer has dropped which suggests this is going to be one hell of a battle.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Following the critically acclaimed global smash hit X-Men: Days of Future Past, director Bryan Singer returns with X-MEN: APOCALYPSE. Since the dawn of civilization, he was worshipped as a god. Apocalypse, the first and most powerful mutant from Marvel’s X-Men universe, amassed the powers of many other mutants, becoming immortal and invincible. Upon awakening after thousands of years, he is disillusioned with the world as he finds it and recruits a team of powerful mutants, including a disheartened Magneto (Michael Fassbender), to cleanse mankind and create a new world order, over which he will reign. As the fate of the Earth hangs in the balance, Raven (Jennifer Lawrence) with the help of Professor X (James McAvoy) must lead a team of young X-Men to stop their greatest nemesis and save mankind from complete destruction.’

It’ll be in cinemas May 18th. Take a look at the new trailer below. [Read more…]

The Defenders Get An X-Men: Apocalypse Poster

March 10, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Xmen_Apocalypse_CampD_Defend-slideA couple of days ago a new poster for X-Men: Apocalypse introduced us to the Four Horsemen who will be plotting humanity’s destruction. Now it’s time for those on the other side to shine, including newcomers Sophie Turner, Tye Sheridan and Kodi Smit-McPhee as young versions of Jean Grey, Cyclops and Nightcrawler.

There’s also Professor Xavier (James McAvoy), Nicholas Hoult (Beast), Mystique (Jennifer Lawrence – who it seems is on the good side for this one), and Quicksilver (Evan Peters).

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Following the critically acclaimed global smash hit X-Men: Days of Future Past, director Bryan Singer returns with X-MEN: APOCALYPSE. Since the dawn of civilization, he was worshipped as a god.

Tye Sheridan Joins Steven Spielberg’s Ready Player One

February 28, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

tye-sheridan

Steven Spielberg is going back into proper blockbuster territory with Ready Player One, which has just found its lead in actor Tye Sheridan (who’s also the new Scott Summers/Cyclops in X-Men: Apocalypse), according to TheWrap. He joins the previously cast Olivia Cooke and Ben Mendelsohn.

The movie will be based on Ernie Cline’s novel. Here’s the synopsis: ‘In the year 2044, reality is an ugly place. The only time teenage Wade Watts really feels alive is when he’s jacked into the virtual utopia known as the OASIS. Wade’s devoted his life to studying the puzzles hidden within this world’s digital confines—puzzles that are based on their creator’s obsession with the pop culture of decades past and that promise massive power and fortune to whoever can unlock them. But when Wade stumbles upon the first clue, he finds himself beset by players willing to kill to take this ultimate prize. The race is on, and if Wade’s going to survive, he’ll have to win—and confront the real world he’s always been so desperate to escape.’

Sheridan will be the man playing Wade. The film should be in cinemas December 15th, 2017.

X-Men: Apocaplyse Extended Super Bowl Spot – Things are getting serious for the mutants

February 8, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

x-men-apocalypse-trailer-slideThings were pretty precarious for the mutants in Days Of Future Past, but it looks like resetting the timeline hasn’t made their lives any easier. An extended version of the movie’s Super Bowl spot certainly suggests things are getting intense, angry and destructive.

Take a look below.

Here’s the synopsis:’Following the critically acclaimed global smash hit X-Men: Days of Future Past, director Bryan Singer returns with X-MEN: APOCALYPSE. Since the dawn of civilization, he was worshipped as a god. Apocalypse, the first and most powerful mutant from Marvel’s X-Men universe, amassed the powers of many other mutants, becoming immortal and invincible.

As the fate of the Earth hangs in the balance, Raven (Jennifer Lawrence) with the help of Professor X (James McAvoy) must lead a team of young X-Men to stop their greatest nemesis and save mankind from complete destruction.’

Bryan Singer directs once more more, with James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender, Jennifer Lawrence, Oscar Isaac, Nicholas Hoult, Rose Byrne, Olivia Munn, Evan Peters, Kodi Smit-McPhee, Sophie Turner, Tye Sheridan, Alexandra Shipp, Lucas Till, Josh Helman, Lana Condor and Ben Hardy starring.

X-Men: Apocalypse Trailer – James McAvoy and co. go up against what may be the ultimate mutant

December 13, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

x-men-apocalypse-trailer-slideAfter the huge success of X-Men: Days Of Future Past, the mutant are returning with X-Men: Apocalypse, which may not have the actors from the original trilogy, but brings back the likes of James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender and Jennifer Lawrence, alongside plenty of newbies, many of them playing younger versions of characters we’ve seen before.

And with Days Of Future Past resetting the timeline, it also allows for reinvented versions of characters.

Here’s the synopsis:’Following the critically acclaimed global smash hit X-Men: Days of Future Past, director Bryan Singer returns with X-MEN: APOCALYPSE. Since the dawn of civilization, he was worshipped as a god.

X-Men: Apocalypse Gets New Young Mutants In The Form Of Tye Sheridan, Sophie Turner & Alexandra Shipp

January 24, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

tye-sheridanX-Men: Apocalypse is starting to pull its new mutants together – or at least the younger versions of some old mutants. It’s been known that for the last few months Bryan Singer and the other producers have been looking for their youthful Jean Grey, Cyclops and Storm.

Now they’ve found them, as Singer himself has revealed via Twitter, ‘Meet our new and brilliant young mutants: @Alexshipppp as #Storm @SophieT as #JeanGrey and @TyeSheridan as #Cyclops. #XmenApocalypse’

Deciphering that it means that Sophie Turner (Game of Thrones) will play Jean Grey, Tye Sheridan (Joe) is starring as Cyclops and Alexandra Shipp (Aaliyah: The Princess of R&B) will take on Storm.

They will join the likes of Michael Fassbender, James McAvoy, Jennifer Lawrence and Nicholas Hoult in the movie, who will be going up against Oscar Isaac’s Apocalypse, an ancient mutant with extraordinary powers that dwarf those of most others. It will be set in the 1980s.

The film is due out May 2016.

Meet our new and brilliant young mutants: @Alexshipppp as #Storm @SophieT as #JeanGrey and @TyeSheridan as #Cyclops. #XmenApocalypse

Joe (DVD Review)

October 6, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Starring: Nicolas Cage, Tye Sheridan, Gary Poulter
Director: David Gordon Green
Running Time: 114 mins
Certificate: 15
Release Date: October 6th 2014 (DVD)

Nicolas Cage may be an Oscar-winning actor, but in recent years he’s largely become synonymous with an endless string of not particularly great movies where he gives one of his interchangeable extreme wild-man performances, where restraint is regarded as an alien concept.

Joe gives us something a little different, with Cage playing title character Joe Ransom, a character who spends much of the movie trying to keep a lid on the fiery, violent temper that lies underneath. It was an extremely smart move to cast the actor, as you can genuinely feel Cage pulling in the tics and extreme tendencies he has shown in endless movies in the last few years. [Read more…]

Ansel Elgort & Tye Sheridan In The Mix For WarGames Remake

June 25, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

ansel-elgortThanks to The Fault In Our Stars Ansel Elgort is the young actor of the moment, ensuring his name is brought up when any new project is looking for somebody his age. That seems true of the planned remake of WarGames, based on the 1983 thriller that starred Matthew Broderick.

TheWrap reports that along with Elgort, MGM is also considering Tye Sheridan, along with several unnamed young actors who are on their shortlist. The project is moving forward though, as it has now got a director in the form of Dean Israelite, along with writer Arash Amel (Grace Of Monaco). Israelite is set to make his directorial debut with the upcoming Project Almanac, which is a found footage time travel thriller about a group of high school kids attempting to fix their lives, but ending up disturbing the space-time continuum.

The original WarGames is about two teenage hackers who inadvertanylu find a back door into the Defense Department’s computer. They start playing what they think is just a game, but what they’re doing could could lead to a real-life nuclear war. It is not known whether the new version will change things, although it’s safe to safe the computer graphics will have improved since 1983.

Benedict Cumberbatch & Will Poulter On For War Drama The Yellow Birds

May 17, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Benedict-CumberbatchLots of new movies have been announced at Cannes and now it’s time for one more, with THR reporting that Benedict Cumberbatch, Tye Sheridan, and Will Poulter will star in The Yellow Birds, with David Lowery directing.

The film is an adaptation of Iraq veteran Kevin Powers’ modern war novel about ‘two soldiers, 21-year-old Private Bartle and 18-year old Private Murphy, who meet in boot camp. Bartle made a promise to Murphy’s mother to guide him home safely and takes the young private under his wing, but soon finds that promise hard to keep as they navigate a war where casual atrocity is a daily occurrence.’

Tom Wolfe has referred to the book as “All Quiet on the Western Front for America’s Arab wars.”

It’s not 100% clear who the actors will play, as Variety suggests it’ll be Cumberbatch and Sheridan as the young soldiers, but Benedict seems a lot old at 37 to play a 21-year-old. It’s more likely Sheridan and Poulter will be the young men, leaving Cumberbatch as an older soldier (presumably their CO).

Ewan McGregor Will Have The Last Days In The Desert

February 5, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

ewan-mcgregorEwan McGregor has bagged himself a new role, as Variety reports that he’s signed up to star in Last Days In The Desert, alongside Mud star Tye Sheridan. Rodrigo Garcia (Albert Nobbs) is set to write and direct the film.

It sounds like McGregor will be pulling double duty, as he’ll be ‘both a holy man and a demon on a journey through the desert who encounters a family struggling to survive — forcing the holy man to confront his own fate.’

Ciaran Hinds and Ayelet Zurer are also onboard, playing the parents of Sheridan’s character.

The movie will star shooting later this month in the Southern California desert.
