New The Greatest Showman Trailer – Hugh Jackman & Zac Efron enter a musical big top

November 13, 2017 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Despite the success of La La Land, big, Hollywood original musicals are still a rare thing. However, Hugh Jackman has one up his sleeve with The Greatest Showman, which even has songs from the team that created the La La Land tunes. A new trailer has arrived which suggests this could be a really good and pretty spectacular movie – although it does seem Hugh Jackman has now started aging backwards.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘“The Greatest Showman” is a bold and original musical that celebrates the birth of show business and the sense of wonder we feel when dreams come to life. Inspired by the ambition and imagination of P.T. Barnum, “The Greatest Showman” tells the story of a visionary who rose from nothing to create a mesmerizing spectacle that became a worldwide sensation. “The Greatest Showman” is directed by exciting new filmmaker, Michael Gracey, with songs by Academy Award winners Benj Pasek and Justin Paul (“La La Land”) and starring Academy Award nominee Hugh Jackman. Jackman is joined by Academy Award nominee Michelle Williams, Zendaya, Zac Efron and Rebecca Ferguson.’

The film will arrive in UK cinemas in on December 26th. Take a look at the new trailer below.  [Read more…]

Baywatch: Extended Edition (Blu-ray Review) – Zac Efron & Dwayne Johnson don the red shorts

September 24, 2017 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Starring: Dwayne Johnson, Zac Efron, Alexandra Daddario, Priyanka Chopra, Jon Bass
Director: Seth Gordon
Running Time: 121 mins (Extended Edition)
Certificate: 15
Release Date: September 25th 2017 (UK)

It was almost inevitable that at some point they’d make a movie version of Baywatch. It was, after all, the most popular TV show in the world in the 1990s, and its reputation for being a bit silly and cheesy meant it was ripe for comedy/parody. However, it’s also the sort of property that could have resulted in a truly dreadful film.

I suppose I ought to say what the Baywatch movie is about, but it doesn’t matter an awful lot, as the plot often feels like the least important part of the film. Dwayne Johnson is Mitch Buchanan, head of Emerald Bay’s lifeguards. He has a new recruit thrust upon him – disgraced double Olympic swimming champion Matt Brody (Zac Efron). The young buck isn’t that impressed about being there, and thinks the lifeguards should be honoured he’s walking amongst them. He’s also a bit confused about why Mitch and his fellow guards seem to spend most of their time fighting crime rather than saving people from drowning. [Read more…]

The Greatest Showman Trailer – Hugh Jackman, Michelle Williams & Zac Efron enter a musical big top

Despite the success of La La Land, big, Hollywood original musicals are still a rare thing. However, Hugh Jackman has one up his sleeve with The Greatest Showman, which even has songs from the team that created the tunes on La La Land. The first trailer suggest that while it may not exactly be historically accurate, it could be a lot of fun.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘“The Greatest Showman” is a bold and original musical that celebrates the birth of show business and the sense of wonder we feel when dreams come to life.

Hugh Jackman & Zac Efron Get Musical In First Pics From The Greatest Showman

May 17, 2017 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Big budget original musicals are a rare thing in Hollywood (yes, we had La La Land, but that cost a relatively small – by Hollywood standards – $30 million), which makes The Greatest Showman something a little bit special. The first pictures from the movie, which stars High Jackman, Zac Efron, Rebecca Ferguson, Zendaya and Michelle Williams, have now arrived, and you can take a look at them below.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘“The Greatest Showman” is a bold and original musical that celebrates the birth of show business and the sense of wonder we feel when dreams come to life.

Jackman is joined by Academy Award nominee Michelle Williams, Zendaya, Zac Efron and Rebecca Ferguson.’

The fact Pasek and Paul are on board is certainly a good thing, as their tunes were so vita to the success of La La Land. Take a loot at the first pics of The Greatest Showman below. The movie will be in UK cinemas January 2018. [Read more…]

Zac Efron Will Turn Serial Killer As Ted Bundy In A New Movie

May 16, 2017 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

If you asked someone what they thought a serial killer looked like, Zac Efron is not likely to be the answer. However, he’s actually a good choice to play the notorious Ted Bundy, a man who murdered at least 30 women, but was thought to be handsome and charming to those who didn’t know his secret life.

THR reports that it was announced at Cannes that Efron is attached to play Bundy in a movie that’s currently titled, Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile. The film, based on a black listed script by Michael Werwie, ‘Is told through the perspective of Elizabeth Kloepfer, Bundy’s longtime girlfriend, who went years denying the accusations against Bundy but ultimately turned him in to the police. Only nearing his execution, when Bundy began talking about his extensive and heinous murders, did Kloepfer, and the rest of the world, learn the true scope of his numerous and grisly crimes.’

Joe Berlinger, best known for his documentaries Paradise Lost: The Child Murders at Robin Hood Hills, and Tony Robbins: I Am Not Your Guru, is due to direct the film. It’s not clear when the movie might shoot, but it’s currently looking for buyers at Cannes.

Baywatch Red Band Trailer – Dwayne Johnson & Zac Efron have an underwater smooch

May 10, 2017 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

It’s only a couple of weeks until we get to see whether the idea of rebooted 90s TV hit Baywatch as a big screen comedy vehicle for Zac Efron and Dwayne Johnson was a good idea or not. To help convince us it will be, a new Red Band trailer for the movie has arrived.

The film itself is, of course, based on the hit 90s TV series. As you might expect being taken from show that’s known for being pretty cheesy, the film keeps it’s tongue firmly in its cheek. And yes, there is some slo-mo running in swimsuits. The movies follows ‘devoted lifeguard Mitch Buchanan (Johnson) as he butts heads with a brash new recruit (Efron). Together, they uncover a local criminal plot that threatens the future of the Bay.’

Take a look at the new trailer below. Baywatch will be in cinemas on May 29th. [Read more…]

New Baywatch Trailer – Zac Efron gets all dragged-up, Audrey Hepburn style

April 26, 2017 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

In the first couple of trailer, the most noticeable thing was how Zac Efron and Dwayne Johnson seemed to be in competition as to who could have the body that looked most like it was too muscled for a real human. However, the thing that will be distracting you is this one, is Efron going undercover in drag, and looking like he’s modelled himself on Audrey Hepburn.

Baywatch Super Bowl Spot – Zac Efron’s star-spangled speedos steal the show

February 6, 2017 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

For people who aren’t that interested in American Football, probably the most memorable moment from the Super Bowl wasn’t on the field, it was in the ad break, when a spot for the big screen version of Baywatch featured Zac Efron in some very small stars and stripes speedos. I’m not sure whether that would be classed as patriotic or not?

Here’s the brief synopsis: ‘BAYWATCH follows devoted lifeguard Mitch Buchanan (Dwayne Johnson) as he butts heads with a brash new recruit ( Zac Efron). Together, they uncover a local criminal plot that threatens the future of the Bay.’ Priyanka Chopra, Alexandra Daddario, Jon Bass, Kelly Rohrbach and Ilfenesh Hadera also star.

You can take a look at the Super Bowl spot below. The movie will be in cinemas in May. [Read more…]

Baywatch Red Band Trailer – Zac Efron & The Rock offer up more shirtlessness (& F-bombs)

January 11, 2017 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Just take a look at the picture above, and tell me it hasn’t reached the point where it looks like Zac Efron’s head has been transplanted onto someone else’s body. This is admittedly from a particularly pumped up shot from the new Baywatch red-band trailer, but even in his other shirtless shots, he does look like he should be told that having more than 2% body fat is not a crime. But hey, perhaps he felt hulking it up wa necessary if he was going to be shirtless next to the bulk of Dwayne Johnson.

Either way, the sight of both of them with their shirts off is quite impressive.

The film is, of course, based on the hit 90s TV series. As you might expect being taken from show that’s known for being pretty cheesy, the film keeps it’s tongue firmly in its cheek. And yes, there is some slo-mo running in swimsuits.

Take a look at the new International Red Band trailer below. Baywatch will be in cinemas next summer.

Baywatch Trailer – Dwayne Johnson & Zac Efron prove just how much time they’ve spent in the gym

December 8, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

From the evidence of this first trailer for Baywatch, Zac Efron is trying to very slowly turn into the Hulk – he may start turning green at some point, although for this movie, he’s gone for orange. The man has the most ridiculously defined, bulging torso. But then, he may not see it that way, as perhaps he was feeling puny next to the bulk of Dwayne Johnson.

Either way, the sight of both of them with their shirts off is quite impressive.
