New The Meg Trailer – Jason Statham takes on a truly Giant Shark

June 20, 2018 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

The Meg may be one of the worst film titles around (and even worse than the book it’s based on, which was simply titled ‘Meg’), but the movie might prove to be guilty pleasure fun. It’s basically Jaws on steroids but with its tongue slightly in its cheek.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Jason Statham (“Spy,” “Furious 7,” “The Expendables” films) and award-winning Chinese actress Li Bingbing (“Transformers: Age of Extinction,” “Forbidden Kingdom,” “The Message”) star in the science fiction action thriller “The Meg,” directed by Jon Turteltaub (the “National Treasure” movies, “Last Vegas”).

‘A deep-sea submersible—part of an international undersea observation program—has been attacked by a massive creature, previously thought to be extinct, and now lies disabled at the bottom of the deepest trench in the Pacific…with its crew trapped inside. With time running out, expert deep sea rescue diver Jonas Taylor (Jason Statham) is recruited by a visionary Chinese oceanographer (Winston Chao), against the wishes of his daughter Suyin (Li Bingbing), to save the crew—and the ocean itself—from this unstoppable threat: a pre-historic 75-foot-long shark known as the Megalodon. What no one could have imagined is that, years before, Taylor had encountered this same terrifying creature. Now, teamed with Suyin, he must confront his fears and risk his own life to save everyone trapped below…bringing him face to face once more with the greatest and largest predator of all time.’

The film is due in UK cinemas on August 10th. Take a look at the new poster and trailer below.  [Read more…]

Last Vegas Trailer – Robert De Niro, Michael Douglas & Morgan Freeman have a ball

October 4, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment


Last Vegas has been described as the ‘old boys Hangover’ with the likes of Robert De Niro, Morgan Freeman, Michael Douglas and Kevin Kline (who are all, incidentally, Oscar winners) heading to Vegas and inevitably getting into trouble. Now the new trailer for the movie has arrived.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Billy (Michael Douglas), Paddy (Robert De Niro), Archie (Morgan Freeman) and Sam (Kevin Kline) have been best friends since childhood. So when Billy, the group’s sworn bachelor, finally proposes to his thirty-something (of course) girlfriend, the four head to Las Vegas with a plan to stop acting their age and relive their glory days. However, upon arriving, the four quickly realize that the decades have transformed Sin City and tested their friendship in ways they never imagined. The Rat Pack may have once played the Sands and Cirque du Soleil may now rule the Strip, but it’s these four who are taking over Vegas.’

It should hit cinemas in November. [Read more…]

Jon Turteltaub Gets Beached With An Olympic Swimming Fantasy

August 28, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Jon Turteltaub has signed on to develop the languishing Fox 2000 project Beached as a directing vehicle, which will capitalise on the popularity of Olympic swimming, and add in a few whales for good measure.

The plot centres on a four-year-old boy who falls overboard during a family trip. The overweight lad is then raised by whales before going on to become an Olympic swimmer (realism is not going to be one of this movie’s strong points, I feel).

This project has been kicking around since 1997, with an original screenplay by Ted Griffin (Ocean’s Eleven). Jordan Roberts (Around the Bend) wrote the most recent draft of the screenplay. Jon Turteltaub will supervise a new rewrite, although it isn’t known if another writer has signed on yet.

The director won’t get around to Beached for a while yet, as he’s currently in pre-production on the comedy Last Vegas, starring Michael Douglas, Robert De Niro, Morgan Freeman, and Kevin Kline, which is due to start shooting soon. (Source: THR)

Mary Steenburgen Is Going To Last Vegas

August 13, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Mary Steenburgen in an Oscar-winning actress who it always feels should be in more and better films than she is. Now she’s just joined a high-profile project for Hollywood’s aging stars, Last Vegas.

The movie is about Billy (Michael Douglas), a longtime ladies man who is finally settling down and getting married in Las Vegas, to a woman half his age. Robert De Niro, Morgan Freeman, and Kevin Kline are playing Billy’s old friends who reunite in Sin City for the nuptials. Unsurprisingly, the film is being sold as an old guys’ The Hangover.

Mary Steenburgen will play Diana, a Vegas lounge singer who gets too close to Billy before his wedding. Diana also becomes involved in a bizarre love triangle when Robert De Niro’s Paddy takes an interest in her as well.

Jon Turteltaub is directing from a screenplay by Dan Fogelman. Shooting will begin this fall in Las Vegas. (Source: Deadline)
