Joker Origin Film Being Planned By Martin Scorsese & Hangover Director Todd Phillips

August 23, 2017 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

With DC’s film universe not being the unmitigated critical and commercial success Warner Bros. obviously hoped it would be (the only exception being the all-conquering Wonder Woman), it appears the studio is now looking to how it can explore and use some its iconic characters away from the interconnected universe – even if they’re already involved in that wider series. Indeed, it sounds as is rather than aping the Marvel movies, Warner/DC is now hoping to be more like what Disney/Lucasfilm is doing with Star Wars.

Warner/DC is setting up a new production banner for these ‘unique’ movies, with one of the first ones planned an origin film for The Joker. Hangover and War Dogs helmer Todd Phillips has signed up to write and direct the movie, and interestingly Variety adds that Martin Scorsese in talks to have some sort of behind-the-scenes role, although it’s not currently certain what that might be.

The film will apparently, ‘take place in the ’80s and have more of the look of a gritty crime drama than comic book movie, which had a lot to do with getting Scorsese’s commitment to the project.’ It also won’t feature Jared Leto in the central role, despite the actor playing the Joker in Suicide Squad, and being involved in both the sequel and a possible movie focussing on the relationship between Joker and Harley Quinn.

It’s not currently known when we might see the film, but it’s certainly an interesting direction for Warner/DC to take.

Silence Trailer – Plus a poster for Martin Scorsese’s drama starring Andrew Garfield & Liam Neeson

November 23, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

silence-poster-slideMartin Scorsese has been attached to Silence for years. However he kept putting it back, to the point where it briefly ended up in court as some of the backers felt he was essentially preventing it from actually getting made by never getting round to making it, but keeping himself attached to helm.

That was sorted out and Scorsese has now filmed the movie, based on Shusaku Endo’s novel. Set in the 17th Century, the story follows Father Rodrigues (Andrew Garfield), a Portuguese Jesuit priest who travels to Japan to confront his mentor, after rumours surface that he has abandoned the church. Ken Watanabe will portray Father Rodrigues’ Japanese interpreter, while Liam Neeson,Issei Ogata and Adam Driver also star.

The movie is getting an Oscar-qualifying run in the US in December, before expanding in January. It’ll be out in the UK early next year. [Read more…]

Leonardo DiCaprio & Martin Scorsese Reuniting True Crime Tale Devil in the White City

August 11, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

leonardo-dicaprioMartin Scorsese is a director who likes to have muses, but it seems Leonardo DiCaprio may see the famed director as his muse, as he’s brought the helmer in to direct one of his passion project, and adaptation of Erik Larson’s true-crime thriller, The Devil In The White City, according to Deadline.

Leo has long wanted to bring the book to the screen, but even with his backing it’s been a tough sell, but with Scorsese also backing it, it’s finally got some traction, with Paramount winning a major bidding battle to take on the movie.

In the movie, ‘DiCaprio will play one of the most prolific serial killers in Chicago history, the 19th century equivalent of Hannibal Lecter.’ He would be the legendary Dr H.H. Holmes, a man who has already inspired many movie characters and is most famed for his ‘murder castle’, a hotel he had built complete with secret passages, tube and various contraption which allowed him to kill people at his leisure.

The Imitation Game’s Graham Moore will write the script, although it’s not clear when it might shoot.

The Wolf Of Wall Street (Cinema)

January 15, 2014 By Tim Isaac 2 Comments

Starring: Leonardo DiCaprio, Jonah Hill, Kyle Chandler, Matthew MacConaughey, Margot Robbie
Director: Martin Scorsese
Running Time: 180 mins
Certificate: 18
Release Date: Jan 17th 2014

We’ve had Wall Street, Boiler Room, Margin Call and, God help us all, Wall Street 2. Now we get Martin Scorsese’s take on the 1990s decade of excess, in which a tiny number of people got very rich by ripping off ordinary people by selling worthless junk bonds.

Leonardo DiCaprio’s Jordan Belfort is, theoretically, a hugely conflicted and interesting character. As he admits, he’s not a Harvard type, merely an ordinary Joe driven to making his millions, initially hit by starting his first day at work on Black Monday – which turns out to be his last. Undeterred he takes a job at a rundown Long Island firm, selling junk bonds over the phone and making cash fast thanks to his winning charm. [Read more…]

Girls’ Adam Driver Joins Andrew Garfield In Martin Scorsese’s Silence

January 14, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

adam-driverAfter the release of each Scorsese movie for the last few years, it’s been said he would make Silence next. The fact he constantly kept putting off making the movie even led to a court case where some of the producers claimed it was taking too long and Scorsese’s hold on the material was preventing them from actually getting the film made.

However now it seems it’s really going to happen (although it has slightly been delayed from when it was going to shoot last summer). Way back in May 2013 Andrew Garfield signed up to star, and now he has some company, as Showbiz411 reports that Girls actor Adam Driver has joined the movie.

Set in the 17th Century, Silence follows Father Rodrigues (Garfield), a Portuguese Jesuit priest who travels to Japan to confront his mentor, after rumours surface that he has abandoned the church. Ken Watanabe will portray Father Rodrigues’ Japanese interpreter. It’s believed Driver will play another Jesuit priest.

Martin Scorsese co-wrote the screenplay alongside Jay Cocks (Gangs of New York), with shooting planned for this summer.

New The Wolf of Wall Street Trailer – Martin Scorsese takes Leo DiCaprio into a mad world of money

October 30, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment


Movies about people in the financial world don’t usually sound that much fun, and to be honest on paper that’s true of The Wolf Of Wall Street, but as this trailer shows, it could be incredibly entertaining in its insanity.
