Gore Verbinski May Direct Channing Tatum In The X-Men Spinoff, Gambit

October 8, 2017 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Fox has long harboured ambitions to make an X-Men movies based around Gambit. Since 2014 Channing Tatum has been attached to the movie, which has moved through various directors and screenwriters, but still hasn’t gone in front of the cameras.

They’re now trying to push forward again, with Pirates Of The Caribbean director Gore Verbinski now in talks to helm the movie, according to THR. Previously the likes of Doug Liman and Rupert Wytt have been attached to direct the film, but it has been completely reworked since then.

Verbinski directed the first three Pirates movies, then followed that with the less successful The Lone Ranger. Most recently he went slightly smaller scale with the creepy A Cure For Wellness. Gambit currently has not release date set.

A Cure For Wellness Trailer – Director Gore Verbinski takes Dane DeHaan into a strange world

December 21, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Before Gore Verbinski spent many years making Pirates Of The Caribbean movies, he really broke out with the US remake of The Ring. Now he’s returning to the horror realm for the freaky looking A Cure For Wellness.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘An ambitious young executive is sent to retrieve his company’s CEO from an idyllic but mysterious “wellness center” at a remote location in the Swiss Alps. He soon suspects that the spa’s miraculous treatments are not what they seem. When he begins to unravel its terrifying secrets, his sanity is tested, as he finds himself diagnosed with the same curious illness that keeps all the guests here longing for the cure. From Gore Verbinski, the visionary director of THE RING, comes the new psychological thriller, A CURE FOR WELLNESS.

Dane DeHaan & Mia Goth Have A Cure For Wellness

April 8, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Dane-DeHaanGore Verbinski looked like he was set to take over Hollywood thanks to the Pirates Of The Caribbean movies, but thanks to the failure of The Long Ranger and a reputation for going massively over-budget, he’s decided to set his sights slightly cheaper for his next movie.

He’s planning a horror film called A Cure For Wellness, which THR reports has now added Dane DeHaan and Mia Goth to its cast.

Justin Haythe wrote the script, which ‘tells the story of an employee (DeHaan) who is sent to rescue his boss from a European “wellness spa” but soon realizes he’s trapped, and discovers that the facility has a more sinister purpose than just serving the health needs of its patients. Goth, who is in negotiations for the role, will play a longtime patient who is oblivious to the spa director’s dark designs for her.’

The plan is to start shooting this June in Europe. It’s a return to horror for Verbinski who may have had some success with Mousehunt and The Mexican, but really broke through with the American version of The Ring.

The Lone Ranger (DVD)

December 2, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Starring: Johnny Depp, Armie Hammer, Tom Wilkinson, William Fichtner, Helena Bonham Carter
Director: Gore Verbinski
Running Time: 149 mins
Certificate: 12
Release Date: December 2nd 2013

Shortly after the release of The Lone Ranger, there was much talk about what a gargantuan flop it was, with the potential of losing $200 million for Disney. However while its $89 million US gross was rubbish compared to the $215 million it cost to make, it actually grossed $260 million worldwide, which isn’t as bad, but once all costs are taken into account, it’s still in the red.

The Lone Ranger (Cinema)

August 7, 2013 By Stephen Sclater Leave a Comment

Starring: Armie Hammer, Johnny Depp, Helena Bonham Carter, Tom Wilkinson
Director: Gore Verbinski
Running Time: 149 mins
Certificate: 12A
Release Date: August 9th 2013

When I saw that adaptation of The Lone Ranger was being made starring Jonny Depp, Armie Hammer and directed by Gore Verbinski, I couldn’t help but wonder whether a humorous western could really work with a young film audience who’ve being spoiled by huge Sci-Fi effects ridden blockbusters? Would the modern filmgoer still flock en masse to this type of film? Unfortunately, as US audiences have already proven, they won’t. But perhaps they should. [Read more…]

New The Lone Ranger Trailer – Armie Hammer & Johnny Depp saddle up

May 22, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment


Hollywood hasn’t had much luck with blockbusters westerns (The Wild Wild West pretty much killed off studio interest for the last decade), but Disney will be hoping for more from its $200+ million The Lone Ranger. And from the evidence of a new trailer that’s popped up over at Apple, the film is looking pretty good.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘From producer Jerry Bruckheimer and director Gore Verbinski, the filmmaking team behind the blockbuster “Pirates of the Caribbean” franchise, comes Disney/Jerry Bruckheimer Films’ “The Lone Ranger,” a thrilling adventure infused with action and humor, in which the famed masked hero  is brought to life through new eyes.  Native American spirit warrior Tonto (Johnny Depp) recounts the untold tales that transformed John Reid (Armie Hammer), a man of the law, into a legend of justice—taking the audience on a runaway train of epic surprises and humorous friction as the two unlikely heroes must learn to work together and fight against greed and corruption.’

It’s out July 3rd in the US and August 9th in the UK.

New The Lone Ranger Trailer – The western goes mega-budget with Johnny Depp

April 18, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment


The received wisdom is that in the modern age, westerns don’t make huge amounts of money at the box office, but Disney is making a $200+ million bet on The Lone Ranger. It’s perhaps not as mad as it sounds, as people said the same thing about pirate movies until Johnny Depp, director Gore Verbinski and producer Jerry Bruckheimer came up with Pirates Of The Caribbean – and they’re the same people behind Lone Ranger.

Now an explosive new trailer has been released, which certainly make the film look like it could be a lot of fun, even if the tone is slightly uneven.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘From producer Jerry Bruckheimer and director Gore Verbinski, the filmmaking team behind the blockbuster “Pirates of the Caribbean” franchise, comes Disney/Jerry Bruckheimer Films’ “The Lone Ranger,” a thrilling adventure infused with action and humor, in which the famed masked hero  is brought to life through new eyes.  Native American spirit warrior Tonto (Johnny Depp) recounts the untold tales that transformed John Reid (Armie Hammer), a man of the law, into a legend of justice—taking the audience on a runaway train of epic surprises and humorous friction as the two unlikely heroes must learn to work together and fight against greed and corruption.’

April 10, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

hangover-part-iii-poster5
A couple of new posters have emerged, one featuring Bradley Cooper in The Hangover Part III and other giving Helena Bonham Carter her own The Lone Ranger character poster.

The Hangover Part III sees Cooper standing outside a XXX video store, although we don’t know whether sex shops feature prominently in the movie or not. The film sees the Wolf Pack return to Las Vegas for one final blowout, which turns out to be just as manic as their earlier adventures. The sequel is released May 24th.

The Lone Ranger meanwhile is Disney’s mega-budget take on the classic character, with Armie Hammer in the title role and Johnny Depp as Tonto. As the poster lets us know, Helena Bonham Carter plays Red, or to giver her her full name, Red Harrington, who’s a pistol-packing brothel owner. The film’s out in July.

New Lone Ranger Photo Gets Fiery

April 1, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

lone-ranger-preview-pic8
Producer Jerry Bruckheimer has released a new photo from The Lone ranger on his Twitter page, showing Armie Hammer and William Fichtner walking away from two massive fires. It’s a classic shot as the heroes walk away as everything burns behind them, but unfortunately there’s no info on exactly how this fits into the film.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘From producer Jerry Bruckheimer and director Gore Verbinski, the filmmaking team behind the blockbuster “Pirates of the Caribbean” franchise, comes Disney/Jerry Bruckheimer Films’ “The Lone Ranger,” a thrilling adventure infused with action and humor, in which the famed masked hero  is brought to life through new eyes.  Native American spirit warrior Tonto (Johnny Depp) recounts the untold tales that transformed John Reid (Armie Hammer), a man of the law, into a legend of justice—taking the audience on a runaway train of epic surprises and humorous friction as the two unlikely heroes must learn to work together and fight against greed and corruption.’

The movie hits cinemas in July.
