Suburbicon UK Trailer – Matt Damon stars in the George Clooney directed dark comedy

August 21, 2017 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

The bromance between Matt Damon and George Clooney continues with Suburbicon, which Damon stars in and Clooney directs. To make sure it really is a bit of a love-in, the script comes from Clooney’s O Brother Where Art Thou? and Hail Caesar directors, Joel & Ethan Coen, with contributions from George and his longtime producing partner Grant Heslov.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Suburbicon’ is a peaceful, idyllic suburban community with affordable homes and manicured lawns… the perfect place to raise a family, and in the summer of 1959, the Lodge family is doing just that. But the tranquil surface masks a disturbing reality, as husband and father Gardner Lodge (Matt Damon) must navigate the town’s dark underbelly of betrayal, deceit, and violence. Suburbicon is this Autumn’s much-anticipated dark comedy, with a fantastic cast also including Julianne Moore, Oscar Isaac and newcomer Noah Jupe.’

Oscar Isaac and Julianne Moore also star. It’s due in US cinemas in October, with a late November 24th UK date set. Take a look at the British trailer below. [Read more…]

But the tranquil surface masks a disturbing reality, as husband and father Gardner Lodge (Matt Damon) must navigate the town’s dark underbelly of betrayal, deceit, and violence. This is a tale of very flawed people making very bad choices. This is Suburbicon.’

The Monuments Men UK Trailer – George Clooney, Matt Damon & co. are after looted art

December 4, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment


George Clooney is back in the director’s chair for The Monuments Men, and if this new UK trailer is anything to go by, it looks like it’ll be vying for awards early next year. Clooney also stars alongside Matt Damon, John Goodman, Bob Balaban, Bill Murray, Cate Blanchett, Jean Dujardin, and Hugh Bonneville.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Based on the true story of the greatest treasure hunt in history, The Monuments Men is an action-thriller focusing on an unlikely World War II platoon, tasked by FDR with going into Germany to rescue artistic masterpieces from Nazi thieves and returning them to their rightful owners. It would be an impossible mission: with the art trapped behind enemy lines, and with the German army under orders to destroy everything as the Reich fell, how could these guys – seven museum directors, curators, and art historians, all more familiar with Michelangelo than the M-1 – possibly hope to succeed? But as the Monuments Men, as they were called, found themselves in a race against time to avoid the destruction of 1000 years of culture, they would risk their lives to protect and defend mankind’s greatest achievements.’

It’s due out in the US on December 18th, while it’ll arrive in the UK on January 9th. [Read more…]

Matt Damon & George Clooney Get A Monuments Men Poster

August 24, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

monuments-men-poster1
George Clooney is back in the director’s chair for The Monuments Men, and now a new poster for the movie has arrived, shoeing off Clooney alongside co-stars such as Matt Damon, John Goodman, Bob Balaban, Bill Murray, Jean Dujardin, and Hugh Bonneville.

There’s no woman in the poster (it is the Monuments Men, after all), but Cate Blanchett also stars.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Based on the true story of the greatest treasure hunt in history, The Monuments Men is an action-thriller focusing on an unlikely World War II platoon, tasked by FDR with going into Germany to rescue artistic masterpieces from Nazi thieves and returning them to their rightful owners.

George Clooney Circles Coronado Club Drug Drama

April 26, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

george-clooneyGeorge Clooney got his second Oscar this year, winning Best Picture as the producer of Argo. That seems to have cause him to have a look through the work of journalist Joshua Bearman, who wrote the article Argo is based on.

Now The Wrap reports that Clooney and producing partner Grant Heslov are planning a film based on Bearman’s upcoming article about the Coronado Club. Clooney is thinking about directing the project himself, although that’s not been confirmed yet.

Not too much is known about the film, although Coronado is the name of a resort city in Southern California and the story is about a group of young people who are used to smuggle drugs. There’s no news on who will script the adaptation, although Sony Pictures is in talks to finance the project.

Clooney is currently shooting The Monuments Men, so he probably won’t get around to this one for a while yet.

Matt Damon In Talks For George Clooney’s Monuments Men

December 5, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Matt Damon and George Clooney like to work together, so it’s not a giant shock to discover that Matt is now in talks to join the cast of Clooney’s upcoming directorial effort, The Monuments Men, according to Deadline.

If he does sign up, he’d be part of an already impressive ensemble that includes Daniel Craig, Bill Murray, Cate Blanchett, Jean Dujardin, John Goodman, Hugh Bonneville, and Bob Balaban have joined the cast. The movie will be based on the nonfiction book, The Monuments Men: Allied Heroes, Nazi Thieves, and the Greatest Treasure Hunt in History by Robert M. Edsel, which tells the story of the US government’s efforts to retrieve artwork stolen by the Nazis and the art experts whose skills were put to use in the campaign. The title comes from the name given to the American and British art historians and museum curators who helped the military track down the stolen pieces.

George Clooney will direct from a screenplay he co-wrote with his producing partner Grant Heslov. George Clooney is also starring in an unspecified role. Filming should begin this January in Europe.

Daniel Craig & John Goodman Up For Monuments Men

October 30, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Just yesterday we reported that Sony has decided to team with Fox as half-partners in George Clooney’s Monuments Men, and at the same time it was revealed that Cate Blanchett & Bill Murray were also up for the movie.

Now news comes via Deadline that Clooney really is lining up a stunning cast, as Daniel Craig, John Goodman, Hugh Bonneville, and Bob Balaban are also all attached to the movie, along with Jean Dujardin, who entered negotiations to star in the film a few weeks ago, and Clooney himself. Sadly we don’t know who all these people will play, but it’s certainly an impressive roster.

The movie will be based on the nonfiction book, The Monuments Men: Allied Heroes, Nazi Thieves, and the Greatest Treasure Hunt in History by Robert M. Edsel, which tells the story of the US government’s efforts to retrieve artwork stolen by the Nazis and the art experts whose skills were put to use in the campaign. The title comes from the name given to the American and British art historians and museum curators who helped the military track down the stolen pieces.

It’s a setup that certainly gives plenty of room for star turns from the great cast. The Monuments Men is set to begin filming in Europe this spring.

Cate Blanchett & Bill Murray Join Monuments Men

October 29, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Earlier this year George Clooney signed up to direct and star in Monuments Men, which at the time Sony was due to fully finance. However Sony has apparently realised that with Ghostbusters 3 now due to shoot next year, it’s rather over-committed on projects and so has gone to Fox and gotten them to split costs on the $50 million movie with them.

Fox initially hoped to buy the project outright, but despite their financial constraints, Sony was keen to hold onto half of the film.The movie will be based on the nonfiction book, The Monuments Men: Allied Heroes, Nazi Thieves, and the Greatest Treasure Hunt in History by Robert M. Edsel, tells the story of the US government’s efforts to retrieve artwork stolen by the Nazis and the art experts whose skills were put to use in the campaign. The title comes from the name given to the American and British art historians and museum curators who helped the military track down the stolen pieces.

THR also reports that Cate Blanchett is attached as the female lead, and Bill Murray is said to be involved as well. Unfortunately there’s no news on what roles they might be playing. Jean Dujardin recently entered negotiations to star in the movie too.

Jean Dujardin May Be One Of Clooney’s Monuments Men

October 3, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

A few weeks ago it was revealed George Clooney is set to direct The Monuments Men, and now it seems he’s looking to cast the movie, as TheWrap reveals he’s eyeing Best Actor Oscar winner Jean Dujardin for a supporting role in the movie.

the film will be based on Robert M. Edsel’s non-fiction book, The Monuments Men: Allied Heroes, Nazi Thieves, and the Greatest Treasure Hunt in History. Clooney will write, direct and also star as U.S. Army officer George Stout, who rediscovered tens of thousands of stolen artworks. The book tells the story of the US government’s efforts to retrieve artwork stolen by the Nazis and the art experts whose skills were put to use in the campaign. The title comes from the name given to the American and British art historians and museum curators who helped the military track down the stolen pieces.

It is known which part Dujardin is being sought for, but Cate Blanchett is reportedly being courted for the role of art historian/French Resistance member Rose Valland, while Paul Giamatti may play New York City ballet co-founder Lincoln Kirstein. The film is currently set to shoot during the spring of 2013, so hopefully Clooney will be able to firm up the casting before then.
