Gemini Trailer – Zoe Kravitz and John Cho head into neo-noir territory

By Leave a Comment

Gemini looks like it might be quite an interesting movie – an LA set neo-noir with a great sounding cast and a hint of Lynch-ian surrealness. Now a trailer has arrived, which gives us a fascinating taste of the movie.

Lola Kirke, Zoe Kravitz, John Cho, Greta Lee, Michelle Forbes, Reeve Carney, Nelson Franklin, Jessica Parker Kennedy, James Ransone, and even Ricki Lake star in the movie, which has a much buzzed about premiere at SXSW.

Here’s the brief synopsis: ‘A heinous crime tests the complex relationship between a tenacious personal assistant and her Hollywood starlet boss. As the assistant travels across Los Angeles to unravel the mystery, she must stay one step ahead of a determined policeman and confront her own understanding of friendship, truth and celebrity.’

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

By Leave a Comment

good-kill-ethan-hawkeThere’s been an increasing uncertainty amongst the public about the use of unmanned drones, both in military and civilian life. The film Good Kill takes is into the world, where people far from a warzone have control of drones able to kill those thousands of miles away.

Maggie Q, Zoe Kravitz & Ansel Elgort Will Be Divergent

By Leave a Comment

Maggie-QWith Twilight at an end, Summit Entertainment has lost its biggest franchise, but it’s hoping to have a similar amount of success with Divergent, based on the first in Veronica Roth’s planned young adult dystopian trilogy. Shailene Woodley has already signed on for the lead role, with Kate Winslet also up for the movie.

Now they’ve been joined by Maggie Q, Zoe Kravitz and Ansel Elgort according to THR.

Divergent, which has inevitably drawn comparisons to The Hunger Games, is about a 16-year-old girl named Beatrice ‘Tris’ Prior, who lives in a society divided into five factions, each based on a different virtue: honesty, selflessness, bravery, peacefulness, and intelligence. Beatrice must choose which faction she wants to try and join, and starts training in order to enter.

Newcomer Ansel Elgort will play Tris’ brother Caleb, who chooses a different faction from his sister and family. Although he’s older that Tris in the book, THR suggest that he’s her twin in the movie. Zoe Kravitz is set to be Christina, Tris’ new friend and fellow initiate. Maggie Q meanwhile is Tori, a tattoo artist who’s involved in testing Tris to determine which faction she’s most suited for.

It seems they’re still looking for the male lead of Four, despite having been searching for months. Neil Burger is set to direct, with shooting kicking off later this year.

Zoe Kravitz In Talks For 1000 A.E.

By Leave a Comment

For a while now, Will and Jaden Smith has been attached to M. Night Shyamalan’s planned new sci-fi movie, 1000 A.E.. Now it appears the director is filling out the rest of the cast, as THR report that Zoe Kravitz (X-Men: First Class) and Sophie Okonedo (Hotel Rwanda) are both in talks to join the film.

1000 A.E. is set in the future when humans no longer live on Earth after it became inhospitable. The elder Smith is playing a hero, while Jaden is his son, considered a failure as a warrior. When the two crash-land on Earth, it is up to the son to save the dad and prove himself.

Assuming the women do sign on made, Kravitz would play Smith’s daughter, while Okonedo will portray his wife. The current plan is to start shooting early next year for release in 2013.
