Channing Tatum & Tom Hardy In Talks For Crime Thriller Triple Frontier

January 7, 2017 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

It was over six years ago that we first heard about Triple Frontier, which was supposed to be Kathryn Bigelow’s follow-up to the Oscar-winning success of The Hurt Locker. However, despite interest from the likes of Tom Hanks, Leonardo DiCaprio and Will Smith, she eventually went off to make Zero Dark Thirty and removed herself as director.

The project has lived on though, with J.C. Chandor (Margin Call, All Is Lost) attached to direct. Now Variety reports that two new major actors are in early talks for the film, with Channing Tatum and Tom Hardy circling the film.

The movie is set in the border zone between Paraguay, Argentina and Brazil, which is a haven for organized crime. The movie itself centres on five people working in the zone, and it’s been reported that it is based on a true story. Mark Boal wrote the script.

A Most Violent Year (Blu-ray Review)

May 18, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Starring: Oscar Isaac, Jessica Chastain, David Oyelowo, Elyes Gabel, Albert Brooks
Director: J.C. Chandor
Running Time: 125 mins
Certificate: 15
Release Date: May 18th 2015 (UK)

A Most Violent Year is one of those movies where, with stronger marketing, it could have gained traction during the awards season, perhaps not winning much but certainly getting more than just one Golden Globe nomination (a Supporting Actress nod for Jessica Chastain).

Director JC Chandor impressed many with his look at the start of the financial crash in Margin Call, and also with his almost dialogue-free Robert Redford alone-at-sea movie, All Is Lost. In many respects A Most Violent Year is a more tradition movie than either of those films, but it’s still extremely stylish and accomplished. [Read more…]

All Is Lost (DVD)

April 27, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Starring: Robert Redford
Director: J.C. Chandor
Running Time: 106 mins
Certificate: 12
Release Date: April 28th 2014

All Is Lost is a movie where you can imagine two people sitting down to watch it, with one deciding it’s a transcendent masterpiece, while the other thinks it’s a pointless, crushing bore.

These days Robert Redford makes comparatively few movies, but here the 77-year-old doesn’t just take centre-stage, he’s the only person who appears on-screen throughout the running time. Not only that, but he has virtually no dialogue either.

Hell, he doesn’t even have a name. [Read more…]

All Is Lost’s J.C. Chandor Plans Vince Lombardi Sports Biopic

December 3, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

jc-chandorAll Is Lost filmmaker J.C. Chandor to write and direct an biopic about NFL coaching legend Vince Lombardi, according to Deadline. Legendary Pictures is behind the film, who will be hoping they can match of success of their recent Jackie Robinson movie, 42.

Lombardi led the Green Bay Packers to five NFL Championships and the first two Super Bowl titles, but before then, he served as offensive line coach for the New York Giants. After Giants defensive line coach Tom Landry was hired as the Dallas Cowboys head coach, he got the Packers to hire him as their head coach, at a time when the team’s owners were considering folding the team altogether.

Under his leadership, he turned the then-losing team into one of the most successful franchises in NFL history.

Legendary has a rights package in place for the film, which includes a deal with the coach’s estate, the David Marannis book, When Pride Still Mattered, and a Broadway play that was adapted from the book. It’s not known when it will shoot.

Robert Redford Gets Drenched In A Stormy All Is Lost Poster

August 30, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

All-Is-Lost-poster1
Robert Redford may not make as many movies as he once did, but he’s pretty much getting the screen all to himself in the upcoming All Is Lost. Now a new poster for the movie has debuted, which you can see above.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Deep into a solo voyage in the Indian Ocean, an unnamed man (Redford) wakes to find his 39-foot yacht taking on water after a collision with a shipping container left floating on the high seas. With his navigation equipment and radio disabled, the man sails unknowingly into the path of a violent storm. Despite his success in patching the breached hull, his mariner’s intuition and a strength that belies his age, the man barely survives the tempest. Using only a sextant and nautical maps to chart his progress, he is forced to rely on ocean currents to carry him into a shipping lane in hopes of hailing a passing vessel. But with the sun unrelenting, sharks circling and his meager supplies dwindling, the ever-resourceful sailor soon finds himself staring his mortality in the face.’

It’s out in the US in October and November 29th in the UK.

All Is Lost Trailer – Robert Redford is lost at sea

August 4, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment


Robert Redford doesn’t make that many movies, but it looks like when he does he wants to hog all the screentime, as he’s pretty much the only person is All Is Lost. It also looks like he doesn’t want to learn a lot of lines, as if this trailer is anything to go by, the film isn’t exactly dialogue heavy – there’s just one word spoken in this promo.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Deep into a solo voyage in the Indian Ocean, an unnamed man (Redford) wakes to find his 39-foot yacht taking on water after a collision with a shipping container left floating on the high seas. With his navigation equipment and radio disabled, the man sails unknowingly into the path of a violent storm.

Jessica Chastain Joins Javier Bardem In A Most Violent Year

July 17, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Jessica-ChastainJessica Chastain is quite good at picking movies, as while they don’t always make big bucks at the box office, they’re nearly always worth a watch. Now she’s got a new one, as Variety reports the Mama and Zero Dark Thirty actress is up for A Most Violent Year, starring opposite Javier Bardem, with JC Chandor (Margin Call) directing.

No official plot details have been released for the movie, although a fansite for the director says that, ‘Bardem will reportedly play the ‘good guy’, an ambitious businessman who is forced to deal with a corrupt establishment in 1980s New York.’

Even that could be wrong, as Chandor is keeping his cards very close to his chest on this one, and there’s absolutely no word on who Chastain will play. She’s always a good choice though, so hopefully she’ll bring some class to the proceedings.

It’s suggested the film will start shooting in New York next month.

Javier Bardem Joins The Gunman & Will Also Have A Most Violent Year

June 6, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

javier-bardemJavier Bardem is going to be busy, as TheWrap reports that he’s lined up two new roles. He’s signed up to star in J.C. Chandor’s A Most Violent Year and is also in talks to co-star with Sean Penn in The Gunman.

Bardem is the first name attached to A Most Violent Year. Based on an original screenplay by Chandor, who directed Margin Call, the film will have Javier as the a hero, but there’s no info on the plot. We’re presuming though that there’ll be plenty of violence taking place over a year. Shooting is scheduled to begin in Manhattan this autumn.

Originally called Prone Gunman, The Gunman is based on a novel by Jean-Patrick Manchette. It follows an international operative (Penn) who is betrayed by his handlers and goes on the run. There’s no specifics on Bardem’s role, although it is suggested he’ll be the villain in this one. Pierre Morel (Taken) is set to direct.

Margin Call (DVD)

November 8, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Starring: Zachary Quinto, Kevin Spacey, Stanley Tucci, Jeremy Irons, Penn Badgley
Director: J.C. Chandor
Running Time: 105 mins
Certificate: 15
Release Date: November 12th 2012

While the financial crisis has been one of the biggest global events since the Second World War, the film industry has had difficulty dealing with it. Part of the reason for that is the fear that if you just have a bunch of people sitting around talking about numbers, the audience’s eyes will glaze over and they’ll start heading for the exit. However writer/director J.C. Chandor trusts that not everyone completely zones out if things aren’t simple, and also realises that if you get a great bunch of actors together, you can take on subjects that might initially seem dull, but can still actually make a really good film.

Robert Redford Feels All Is Lost

December 16, 2011 By Movie Muser Leave a Comment

We haven’t seen Robert Redford on screen since Lions For Lambs in 2007, but it seems he’s keen to get back in front of the camera as he’s currently making The Company You Keep and now Deadline reports that he’s eyeing another acting project, teaming up with Margin Call helmer J.C. Chandor for All Is Lost.

While Margin Call was set in the financial sector during the recent economic meltdown, All Is Lost would see Redford swimming with more literal sharks. Described as a man vs. nature drama, it seems the movie takes place entirely on the water and would be largely just Redford on-screen. The movie is described as being somewhat similar to Sydney Pollack’s classic 70s western Jeremiah Johnson, which starred Redford as a man trying to live a quiet life in the middle of nowhere, who ends up fighting Grizzlies and becomes the subject of a vendetta with the Crow Nation.

The production is looking at Baja Film Studios in Mexico, which holds the giant water tank used by James Cameron for Titanic and Michael Bay for Pearl Harbour. Shooting is currently pencilled in for next May, and Chandor will be desperarely hoping he can get Redford to sign on, as he wrote the script specifically with the star in mind.
