Emile Hirsch In Talks For Lone Survivor

July 21, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Emile Hirsch is one of those actors who’s attempted to straddle the line between indie and mainstream, so that he has enough Hollywood clout to allow him to pick and choose more interesting small projects. However his mass-market movies, such as Speed Racer and The Darkest Hour, haven’t turned out too well, so he could do with a bit of a career bump.

Now he’s in early talks to star in another proper Hollywood movie, as director Peter Berg wants him for Lone Survivor, according to Variety. He’d join a cast that already includes Mark Wahlberg, Ben Foster, and Taylor Kitsch.

The project is based on the memoir of Navy SEAL Marcus Littrell, which tells his journey of survival when he and his SEAL team members were ambushed by the Taliban in Afghanistan. The soldiers were pinned down in the Hindu Kush mountains while on a mission to eliminate a terrorist. Mark Wahlberg is playing Littrell, with Ben Foster, Taylor Kitsch, and Emile Hirsch playing other SEAL team members.

Peter Ber is directing from his own adapted screenplay. It isn’t certain when the movie may shoot.

Peter Berg Set To Direct Father’s Day

June 20, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

After spending the last few years in major action mode directing the likes of The Kingdom, Hancock and Battleship, Peter Berg is heading somewhere far more personal by signing on to helm Father’s Day, based on the book by his cousin, Friday Night Lights author Buzz Bissinger.

The book is a departure for the writer, whose work is predominantly set within the world of sports. The non-fiction tome revolves around one of his twin sons, Zach, who has dealt with mental disabilities since his premature birth. The story follows the author and his 24-year-old son, as they embark on a summer-long road trip, which helps the father better understand his child.

Universal Pictures is reportedly circling the project through their first-look deal with Peter Berg, but no deals have been signed yet. (Source: Variety)

Battleship (Cinema)

April 11, 2012 By Stephen Sclater Leave a Comment

Starring: Taylor Kitsch, Alexander Skarsgard, Brooklyn Decker, Rihanna, Liam Neeson
Director: Peter Berg
Running Time: 131 mins
Certificate: 12A
Release Date: April 11th, 2012

Just picture it – writer goes to see producer and says I have an idea for a movie, “Let’s base it on a game, say Battleship. We’ll make the enemy Aliens (Transformers style), set it in Pearl Harbor – with our allies being the Japanese, of all people – and let’s debut the worlds biggest pop star in her movie debut! You can think of it as Top Gun meets Independence Day!” Producer proceeds to mentally count the cash he thinks he’ll make.

This is basically the premise of one of the most anticipated films of the year – which to be honest isn’t a great state of affairs, if this is all Hollywood can deliver. That said, with an estimated budget of over $200M, you have to hope it’ll do better than last years’ two alien invasion efforts, Skyline and Battle Los Angeles. [Read more…]

New Battleship Trailer

March 14, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment


There’s little doubt that Battleship has pretty much nothing to do with the classic game and everything with trying to ape Transformers to give Hasbro yet another enormous franchise they can sell toys on the back of (although with Universal making the movie this time, rather than Paramount/Dreamworks). The more we see, the more like Transformers-At-Sea it looks, although that’s not necessarily a bad thing. Now a new trailer has arrived, with Taylor Kitsch, Alexander Skarsgard and Liam Neeson running around trying to deal with a mechanical alien threat at sea. The big budget movie hits cinemas April 11th.

Mark Wahlberg On For Headhunters & Lone Survivor

February 29, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Mark Wahlberg is certainly planning to keep busy, as he’s already got several movies he’s planning to shoot this year, and now he’s adding a couple more to his dance-list, as Shortlist reports he’s eyeing a remake of the Norwegian movie Headhunters, while Deadline says that he, Ben Foster and Taylor Kitsch are all interested in the Navy SEAL movie, Lone Survivor.

Headhunters follows Roger Brown, who is good at two things: hiring people and stealing from them. He then risks it all when he meets a former mercenary who owns a painting worth millions. Wahlberg commented, “I saw a film recently called Headhunters. It’s a Norwegian film and it’s one of the best movies I’ve seen in a long time. I met with the director and pleaded with the studio that has the rights so we’ll see if we get anywhere with that.”

Slightly more certain is Lone Survivor, an adaptation of a book by Marcus Luttrell, which tells the harrowing story of how Luttrell and his Navy SEAL team fought to stay alive after being ambushed by Taliban forces in Afghanistan in 2005. Wahlberg is set to play Luttrell, with Taylor Kitsch and Ben Foster playing the other key Navy Seal roles.

Battleship helmer Peter Berg is on directing duties, and was inspired to write the drama after spending a month with a SEAL team in Iraq. The director had this to say about the movie: “Bin Laden’s death has cleared the way for this, a movie that will be an unapologetically patriotic film that honors and pays homage to an incredible group of badass guys who do this.”

Battleship Super Bowl Spot

The more we see, the more like Transformers-At-Sea it looks, although that’s not necessarily a bad thing. It certainly looks pretty explosive in this new Super Bowl spot, so take a look.

Battleship Trailer – Taylor Kitsch blows shit up!

December 9, 2011 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment


After the success of the Transformers franchise, it appears Hasbro feels the best way to ensure box office success is to explode everything you can (working with Michael Bay will have that effect on you). It certainly seems to be the logic in Battleship, as there’s a ridiculous amount of things blowing up and even the sound effects in this trailer are deliberately reminiscent of Tranformers. It’s looks fun though!

Certified hotties Taylor Kitsch, Alexander Skarsgard and Liam Neeson star in the film, which sees a fleet of ships being forced to do battle with an armada of unknown origins in order to discover and thwart their destructive goals. Universal is hoping it’ll be huge at the box office next summer. Watch the trailer and see what you think, and we’ve got a brand new poster for the movie below. The film hits the UK April 20th.
