Tom Hardy Set To Be Al Capone In A New Biopic

October 30, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Tom-HardyIt looks like Tom Hardy is hoping to get his gangster on once more, as Variety reports that he’s set to play Al Capone in the movie Fonzo. Chronicle helmer Josh Trank, who some thought might have difficulty getting another job after the failure of Fantastic Four, is set to direct from his own script.

Capone was a ‘bootlegger and brutal gangster who ruled Chicago during Prohibition. The federal government successfully prosecuted him for tax evasion in 1931 and he was convicted and sentenced to 11 years in prison. He was released after eight years and died at the age of 48 in 1947 as dementia rotted his brain and harrowing memories of his violent and brutal origins melt into his waking life.’ The movie will follow him at the end of his life, when he’s 47.

The movie will be looking for buyers at the American Film Market next week. It’s not known when the film might shoot.

Fantastic Four (Cinema Review)

August 6, 2015 By Mike Martin Leave a Comment

Starring: Miles Teller, Toby Kebbell, Jamie Bell, Kate Mara, Michael B. Jordan
Director: Josh Trank
Running Time: 110 mins
Certificate: 12A
Release Date: August 6th 2015

When even a film’s own cast start mumbling about how they haven’t seen it, that it’s probably a bit rubbish, and that it’s not a critics’ film, you know you’re in trouble. Sure enough, this latest version of a story which had a perfectly decent outing all of 10 years ago turns out to be a dud. It’s the usual reasons to blame too – a dog of a script, wooden half-hearted acting and a boring story about saving the world. To be fair, the special effects are actually pretty good, and some minor characters put in a shift, but in the preview screening people started walking out after 10 minutes.

Do we really have to go through the whole set-up of how they become the Four? Apparently we do, so we get a full hour of Teller’s Reed Richards inventing a teleportal machine which sends sand, chimps and then humans to an undiscovered planet that turns out to have an inexhaustible supply of power. He teams up with Johnny Storm (Jordan, ok), Sue Storm (Mara, half-asleep), Victor von Doom (Kebbell, chewing scenery) and his old pal Ben Grimm (Jamie Bell, adequate) to complete the work, but an accident sees Doom stranded on the planet alone while the other four return to Earth with strange powers.

Fantastic Four Extended Preview – The superhero quartet are back and revamped

August 4, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

fantastic-four-final-poster-slideThere have been rumours of trouble surrounding the production of the reboot of Fantastic Four, which has led some to write it off already. However reports from a couple of preview screenings have been pretty good, and it may end up surprising even the studio (which seems uncertain about the film).

Now we get our best taste yet with a four-minute extended preview of the movie, which you can take a look at below. It actually looks pretty good – more serious than the last take on the Marvel characters, but still with a sense of fun.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘FANTASTIC FOUR, a contemporary re-imagining of Marvel’s original and longest-running superhero team, centers on four young outsiders who teleport to an alternate and dangerous universe, which alters their physical form in shocking ways. Their lives irrevocably upended, the team must learn to harness their new abilities and work together to save Earth from a former friend turned enemy.’

The film is in UK cinemas August 6th. [Read more…]

July 14, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

fantastic-four-final-posterThere are still a lot of questions hanging over the reboot of Fantastic Four (rumours of extensive reshoots and problems with the original cut haven’t helped matters), but the trailer have actually looked pretty cool, and this ‘final’ promo is no exception.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘FANTASTIC FOUR, a contemporary re-imagining of Marvel’s original and longest-running superhero team, centers on four young outsiders who teleport to an alternate and dangerous universe, which alters their physical form in shocking ways.

New Fantastic Four Trailer – A far better look at the superhero reboot

April 19, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

fantastic-four-trailer20th Century Fox had a fairly late start marketing their reboot of Fantastic Four and when the first trailer arrived, it didn’t show us much. However now a new one has arrived and it gives us a much better look at the movie, including a proper look at The Thing, Doctor Doom and the heroes various powers.

It suggests a far less jokey take than the movies from a few years ago, but one that’s still fun.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘FANTASTIC FOUR, a contemporary re-imagining of Marvel’s original and longest-running superhero team, centers on four young outsiders who teleport to an alternate and dangerous universe, which alters their physical form in shocking ways.

Jamie Bell Goes CGI In TheFirst Official Look At Fantastic Four’s The Thing

April 9, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

fantastic-four-empire-pic5

After getting a later start on promoting Fantastic Four (partly because the footage wasn’t ready), even he first pics and trailers hid one big thing – a proper look at The Thing, who will be fully CGI in this new take on the Marvel Comics.

However now he’s been revealed in the pic above, and as you can see, he’s not exactly as good-looking as the character who’ll be voicing him (and playing his pre-superhero human side), Jamie Bell.

Empire has also debuted a couple more pics, which you can see below.

Bell will be joined by Miles Teller as Mr. Fantastic, Kate Mara as the Invisible Woman, and Michael B. Jordan as The Human Torch.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘FANTASTIC FOUR, a contemporary re-imagining of Marvel’s original and longest-running superhero team, centers on four young outsiders who teleport to an alternate and dangerous universe, which alters their physical form in shocking ways.

February 26, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

fantastic-four-empire-pic3We’ve had a teaser for Fantastic Four, but we still haven’t seen an awful lot from Josh Trank’s reboot on the Marvel superheroes. Now though Empire has debuted four new pics, one four each of the main characters, featuring Miles Teller as Mr. Fantastic, Kate Mara as the Invisible Woman, Michael B. Jordan as The Human Torch and Jamie Bell before he gets rocky as The Thing.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘FANTASTIC FOUR, a contemporary re-imagining of Marvel’s original and longest-running superhero team, centers on four young outsiders who teleport to an alternate and dangerous universe, which alters their physical form in shocking ways.

Fantastic Four Trailer – First look Miles Teller, Michael B. Jordan, Kate Mara and Jamie Bell in the superhero reboot

January 27, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

fantastic-four-teaser-posterThe lack of a trailer or other marketing for Fox’s reboot of Fantastic Four has resulted in a lot of rumours, from reports that the movie is a disaster that needs massive reshoots to issues with the special effects meaning there was no footage to show.

However now the first trailer is here, and it seems very keen to show that this film will have a very different feel to the ones starring Jessica Alba and Chris Evans. It’s certainly darker and bigger in scale, even if the promo is still keen to keep a bit of mystery around exactly what the characters will look like in their hero guise.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘FANTASTIC FOUR, a contemporary re-imagining of Marvel’s original and longest-running superhero team, centers on four young outsiders who teleport to an alternate and dangerous universe, which alters their physical form in shocking ways.

Josh Trank Will Take On A Stand Alone Star Wars Movie

June 4, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

josh-trankLucasfilm and Disney are busy people. They’ve just started production of Star Wars: Episode VII, a couple of weeks ago Gareth Edwards signed up to direct one of and stand alone Star Wars movies that being planned, and now Chronicle’s Josh Trank has been announced for another.

As with Edwards’ movie, there’s no news on which character Trank’s film will centre on, although it’s believed films about Boba Fett, a young Han Solo and possibly Yoda are being developed.

Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy commented, “We’re thrilled to welcome Josh Trank into the family. He is such an incredible talent and has a great imagination and sense of innovation. That makes him perfectly suited to Star Wars, and for this new slate of movies that reach beyond the core characters and storylines of Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace through Star Wars: Episode IX.”

Trank meanwhile has this to say, “The magic of the Star Wars Universe defined my entire childhood. The opportunity to expand on that experience for future generations is the most incredible dream of all time.

So far Chronicle is Trank’s only feature-length movie, but he is currently busy making The Fantastic Four reboot, which is due out next year. That suggests that his Star Wars film will come after Gareth Edwards’, possibly being released in 2018.
