The Big Sick (Blu-ray Review) – Race, religion and stand-up comedy, after your girlfriend gets put in a coma!

By Leave a Comment

Despite the presence of executive producer Judd Apatow (40 Year Old Virgin, Knocked Up) and plenty of ecstatic reviews, The Big Sick wasn’t the breakout international hit many had crossed their fingers it would be. That said, the fact a movie about a Pakistani-born man raised as a Muslim got a mainstream release seems like progress.

Kumail (Kumail Nanjiani) was born in Pakistan but was brought to the US by his parents when he was still a kid. Now he’s living between two worlds, with his family still keen for him to be a good Muslim and have an arranged marriage with a nice Pakistani girl, while he’s not sure what he thinks about God and wants to be a stand-up comic.

What If Trailer – Daniel Radcliffe & Zoe Kazan get an indie rom-com

By Leave a Comment


When we got a poster for What If a couple of weeks ago, we were promised the trailer was coming soon. Now it’s here, so we can get a taste for the indie rom-com, starring Daniel Radcliffe and Zoe Kazan.

The movie was filmed under the title The F Word back in autumn 2012, do it’s taken a while for us to get to this stage, but it now it’s been retitled What If, a poster has arrived and an August 1st, 2014 US release set.

Radcliffe plays Wallace, a young man who meets Chantry (Kazan) at a party where they hit it off. The problem is, Chantry has a long-term boyfriend, and the duo must navigate through a tenuous friendship (that’s the F word), while keeping their feelings at bay.

Take a look at the trailer below. [Read more…]

Daniel Radcliffe & Zoe Kazan Get A What If Poster

By Leave a Comment

What-If-posterIt’s taking a while to get some of Daniel Radcliffe’s indie efforts into cinemas. He shot a movie called The F Word back in autumn 2012, but we still haven’t seen it.

Now it’s been retitled What If, a poster has arrived and an August 1st, 2014 US release has been set. We’ve also been promised a trailer in a couple of weeks time.

Radcliffe plays Wallace, a young man who meets Chantry (Kazan) at a party where they hit it off. The problem is, Chantry has a long-term boyfriend, and the duo must navigate through a tenuous friendship (that’s the F word), while keeping their feelings at bay.

Take a look at the new poster above. (Oh, and this is the film where Radcliffe shot a naked beach scene, so hopefully we have that to look forward to).

New Pics: Daniel Radcliffe In The F Word, The Hobbit: The Desolation Of Smaug & American Hustle

By Leave a Comment

f-word-pic1A few interesting new images from some of 2013 and early 2014’s most-anticipated movies have emerged, with pics from The F Word, The Hobbit: The Desolation Of Smaug and American Hustle arriving.

The F Word stars Daniel Radcliffe as Wallace, a young man who meets Chantry (Zoe Kazan) at a party where they hit it off. The problem is, Chantry has a long-term boyfriend, and the duo must navigate through a tenuous friendship (that’s the F word), while keeping their feelings at bay. The film will premiere at TIFF (who debuted the image), with a February UK release set.

The Hobbit: The Desolation Of Smaug is, of course, Peter Jackson’s continuation of the classic JRR Tolkien story. The pic shows us the return of Orlando Bloom as Legolas, along with a new character, Evangeline Lilly’s elf Tauriel.

American Hustle is David O. Russell’s movie based on the true story of Irving Rosenfeld (Christian Bale), a con artist who, along with his lover and accomplice Sydney (Amy Adams), are forced by an FBI agent (Bradley Cooper) to help with his ABSCAM conspiracy case in the 1970s. That ended with a US Senator and five Congressmen were convicted on corruption charges. It’ll be out later this year. [Read more…]

Daniel Radcliffe Strips Nekkid On The F Word Set

By 1 Comment

Daniel Radcliffe proved he was a clothing optional actor in the West End and on Broadway in Equus, and if you missed that, it appears we may get to see whole lot more of Dan in The F Word, the movie he’s currently shooting.

OhNoTheyDidn’t managed to get hold of some shots of a night shoot, which involves Dan and co-star Zoe Kazan apparently going skinny dipping (apparently their friends steal their clothes, leaving them only a sleeping bag for the night). As the shots are taken from a distance, it’s not 100% clear is the former Harry Potter is really completely naked, or if he’s got some sort of sock to cover his modesty. We’ve censored one of the pics below just in case (sorry, we’re just not that rude), but you can see them in their full glory (and a whole lot more) on OhNoTheyDidn’t.

The movie sees Radcliffe stars as Wallace, a young man who meets Chantry (Zoe Kazan) at a party where they hit it off. The problem is, Chantry has a long-term boyfriend, and the duo must navigate through a tenuous friendship (that’s the F word), while keeping their feelings at bay. It should hit cinemas next year.

Daniel Radcliffe Lets Loose With The F Word

By Leave a Comment

It still doesn’t seem quite right that Daniel Radcliffe is signing up for movies that don’t start with ‘Harry Potter and the…’ but he’s added another, this time heading for his first romantic comedy, called The F Word. Zoe Kazan has also signed up for Goon director Michael Dowse’s movie.

Depite what you may think, the title doesn’t refer to a rude word. Daniel Radcliffe stars as Wallace, a young man who meets Chantry (Zoe Kazan) at a party where they hit it off. The problem is, Chantry has a long-term boyfriend, and the duo must navigate through a tenuous friendship (that’s the F word), while keeping their feelings at bay.

Elan Mastai (The Samaritan) wrote the screenplay, which landed on the 2008 Black List, based on the play Toothpaste and Cigars by T.J. Dawe and Michael Rinaldi. Production is scheduled to begin August 15 in Toronto, with casting for supporting roles already under way. (Source: Variety)

Zoe Kazan & Michael Stahl-David On For Whedon’s In Your Eyes

By Leave a Comment

Joss Whedon is testing out both ends of the movie spectrum at the moment, going mega-budget with the ambitious The Avengers and also setting up Bellwether Pictures, a micro-studio making tiny, no-budget movies. The company’s first film is a Whedon directed adaptation of Much Ado About Nothing that’s already in the can.

Now Joss is putting together Bellwether’s next flick, In Your Eyes, with Brin Hill directing from Whedon’s script. Deadline reports that Zoe Kazan (Bored to Death, Meek’s Cutoff) and Michael Stahl-David (Cloverfield) have been cast in the lead roles in the movie, which is billed as ‘a metaphysical love story about two seemingly polar opposites who are deeply connected in ways neither could have ever imagined.’

Stahl-David will be Dylan, a boyish-looking man who served time in jail for robbery when he refused to rat on his accomplices. Kazan meanwhile will play Rebecca, an attractive but skinny and slightly awkward woman, who is married to an older doctor. Though they’ve never met and he lives in New Mexico and she’s in Connecticut, they can hear and see one another across that distance.

The movie starts shooting soon in LA and Boston.
