xXx: The Return Of Xander Cage Trailer – Vin Diesel is back as the extreme sports super-spy

July 20, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

xxx-return-of-xander-cage-slideVin Diesel is making a bit of a habit of leaving franchises before returning later. He did it with Fast & Furious, and after playing Xander Cage in 2002’s xXx, he bowed out for the sequel, which starred Ice Cube.

Now, 15 years after the first film, he’s returning to the series for xXx: The Return Of Xander Cage, which also sees Samuel L. Jackson back as Agent Augustus Eugene Gibbons. Not a vast amount of official info about the plot has been released, other than that, ‘Xander Cage is left for dead after an incident, though he secretly returns to action for a new, tough assignment with his handler Augustus Gibbons.’

It’s also keen to promise Girls, Guns, and Global Domination, with the rest of the trailer largely devoted to some incredibly OTT action, including some jungle skiing and extreme sports nuttiness. The film should be out early next year. Take a look at the trailer below. [Read more…]

Billy Lynn’s Long Halftime Walk Teaser Trailer – First look at Ang Lee’s take on the military tale

May 12, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

billy-lynn-pic1The reports from those who saw the first footage gushed that it looked like once again Life Of Pi helmer Ang Lee had produced an incredible looking movie. Now we get to take a look for ourselves with the first teaser trailer. It certainly does a great job of suggesting this could be one hell of a movie and real Oscar contender.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Three-time Academy Award® winner Ang Lee brings his extraordinary vision to Billy Lynn’s Long Halftime Walk, based on the widely-acclaimed, bestselling novel. The film is told from the point of view of 19-year-old private Billy Lynn (newcomer Joe Alwyn) who, along with his fellow soldiers in Bravo Squad, becomes a hero after a harrowing Iraq battle and is brought home temporarily for a victory tour. Through flashbacks, culminating at the spectacular halftime show of the Thanksgiving Day football game, the film reveals what really happened to the squad – contrasting the realities of the war with America’s perceptions. The film also stars Kristen Stewart, Chris Tucker, Garrett Hedlund, with Vin Diesel, and Steve Martin. Lee used new technology, shooting at an ultra-high frame rate for the first time in film history, to create an immersive digital experience helping him dramatize war in a way never seen before.’

It’ll be out in cinemas towards the end of the year. [Read more…]

F. Gary Gray Up To Direct Fast & Furious 8 & Black Panther

October 6, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

f-gary-grayIt seems The Italian Job and Straight Outta Compton director F. Gary Gray s the man of the moment, as THR reports that he’s entered exclusive negotiations to helm Fast & Furious 8, while Variety adds that he’s also in the running to direct Marvel’s Black Panther.

Universal have been busy looking for a Furious 8 director ever since James Wan decided he didn’t want to helm. With an April 2017 release set they didn’t have much time, and hot on the heels of reports that they’d narrowed it down to a few name came reports of negotiations officially beginning with Gray.

Vin Diesel also confirmed it, posting a picture of him meeting Gray – an important part of the process, as Vin has to approve the director for him to get the job.

While the Black Panther news is less certain, it appear Gray is high up the list of potential directors. Selma‘s Ava DuVernay was previously attached to that one, but she has since left. However Gray may have difficulty making both, as with Black Panther set for summer 2018, he’d have to jump from one film to the other pretty quickly.

The Last Witch Hunter Trailer – Vin Diesel gets super-beardy

September 18, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

last-witch-hunter-character-poster1-slideVin Diesel is taking a break from being Fast & Furious to get supernatural with The Last Witch Hunter. Now a full trailer and some character posters for the movie have arrived.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘The modern world holds many secrets, but the most astounding secret of all is that witches still live amongst us; vicious supernatural creatures intent on unleashing the Black Death upon the world. Armies of witch hunters battled the unnatural enemy across the globe for centuries, including KAULDER, a valiant warrior who managed to slay the all-powerful QUEEN WITCH, decimating her followers in the process.

‘In the moments right before her death, the QUEEN curses KAULDER with her own immortality, forever separating him from his beloved wife and daughter in the afterlife. Today KAULDER is the only one of his kind remaining, and has spent centuries hunting down rogue witches, all the while yearning for his long-lost loved ones. However, unbeknownst to KAULDER, the QUEEN WITCH is resurrected and seeks revenge on her killer causing an epic battle that will determine the survival of the human race.’

The Last Witch Hunter arrives in UK cinemas on Wednesday 21st October. [Read more…]

Fast & Furious 7 (DVD Review)

September 6, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Starring: Vin Diesel, Paul Walker, Dwayne Johnson, Jason Statham, Michelle Rodriguez
Director: James Wan
Running Time: 131 mins
Certificate: 12
Release Date: Spetember 7th 2015 (UK)

If you’d told me a year ago that one of the Fast & Furious movies would make $1.5 billion at the box office and become the fifth highest grossing movie of all time, I would have laughed directly in your face. However, I’d be eating humble pie now, as that’s just what Fast & Furious 7 has done, helped by a record-breaking run in China.

I still have no idea why it did so well – not because it’s a dreadful movie, but simply because there’s it’s tough to understand why it was so stunningly successful. But then, I suppose it’s like McDonald’s – nobody would class it as genuinely great food, but it’s incredibly popular because it’s tasty and you know exactly what you’re going to get. [Read more…]

The Last Witch Hunter Teaser – Vin Diesel & his magnificent beard are on the trail of supernatural evil

April 29, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Vin-Diesel-Last-Witch-HunterVin Diesel has been having huge success in the Fast & Furious series, but outside that his career hasn’t been having many hits. However he’s got high hopes for The Last Witch Hunter, and after months of Vin posting pics and titbits on his Facebook page, a trailer has finally arrived.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘The modern world holds many secrets, but the most astounding secret of all is that witches still live amongst us; vicious supernatural creatures intent on unleashing the Black Death upon the world. Armies of witch hunters battled the unnatural enemy across the globe for centuries, including KAULDER, a valiant warrior who managed to slay the all-powerful QUEEN WITCH, decimating her followers in the process.

New Fast & Furious 7 Trailer – Vin Diesel & Paul Walker defy physics

February 5, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

fast-and-furious-7-pic2When we posted the Fast & Furious 7 Super Bowl spot, we commented that the action had reached the level of absolute fantasy. Indeed some shots looked like they were taking place in The Matrix. Now a new trailer has arrived which backs that up, with plenty more explosions and chases that completely ignore the laws of physics.

It’s all pretty spectacular though.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Continuing the global exploits in the unstoppable franchise built on speed, Vin Diesel, Paul Walker and Dwayne Johnson lead the returning cast of Fast & Furious 7. James Wan directs this chapter of the hugely successful series that also welcomes back favorites Michelle Rodriguez, Jordana Brewster, Tyrese Gibson, Chris “Ludacris” Bridges, Elsa Pataky and Lucas Black.

Fast & Furious 7 Super Bowl Spot – Car chases and explosions, what did you expect?

February 2, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Furious-7-poster1It’s not often they include the moment where a franchise may have completely jumped the shark in a trailer, but they may have done so with the Super Bowl spot for Fast & Furious 7 (known simply as Furious 7 in the US).

Two cars speed up in to bumper to bumper collision. Both drivers presumable survive but the impact is apparently so enormous that it blows out all the windows in the plate glass building behind them. Someone needs to give the filmmakers a quick lesson in physics.

But then, the franchise has never been that sensible, and just to ensure we don’t think this is going to be even vaguely realistic, there’s also a car jumping from skyscraper to skyscraper tens of stories up.

I do kind of wonder whether moving even further from a vague sense of reality is deliberate, as the film was always going to have difficulties if viewers felt even vague echoes of Paul Walker’s untimely death in a fiery car wreck, and so shifting further toward fantasy does make sense on that score.

Some will love it, but personally I can’t believe I just saw that. [Read more…]

Fast & Furious 7 Trailer – First look at Paul Walker’s action-packed final film

November 2, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Furious-7-poster1While the production of Fast & Furious 7 (known simply as Furious 7 in the US) was marked by tragedy with the death of Paul Walker, the first trailer suggests that the actual movie will be the car-based madness we’ve come to expect from the franchise.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Continuing the global exploits in the unstoppable franchise built on speed, Vin Diesel, Paul Walker and Dwayne Johnson lead the returning cast of Fast & Furious 7. James Wan directs this chapter of the hugely successful series that also welcomes back favorites Michelle Rodriguez, Jordana Brewster, Tyrese Gibson, Chris “Ludacris” Bridges, Elsa Pataky and Lucas Black. They are joined by international action stars new to the franchise including Jason Statham, Djimon Hounsou, Tony Jaa, Ronda Rousey and Kurt Russell. Neal H. Moritz, Vin Diesel and Michael Fottrell return to produce the film written by Chris Morgan.’

The movie will be in UK cinemas next April. [Read more…]
