Paranoia Trailer – Liam Hemsworth takes on Gary Oldman & Harrison Ford

By Leave a Comment


Corporate thrillers are often a difficult sell because it’s tough to make them look all that interesting in the space of 2 minutes and 30 seconds, as even with plenty of action, it’s still men in suits looking serious. It’s a slightly problem with Paranoia, although at least the trailer suggests it could be okay.

Liam Hemsworth stars as Adam Cassidy, an ambitious young man trying to get ahead in his entry-level job at a telecommunications firm. After he makes a costly mistake, the company CEO (Oldman) agrees not to turn him in if he spies on Jock Goddard (Harrison Ford), Nicholas’ mentor and a rival executive. Amber Heard is set to play a potential love interest for Adam, who works at the company he is spying on.

Robert Luketic is directing from a screenplay by Jason Dean Hall, which he adapted from the novel of the same name by Joseph Finder. Lucas Till, Embeth Davidtz, Amber Heard, Julian McMahon. The film hits US cinemas on August 16th, but no UK date is currently set. [Read more…]

By Leave a Comment


R.I.P.D. was filmed over 18 months ago, but it’s only now that we’re getting the first trailer, ahead of its summer release. It certainly looks a bit nuts, but could be a lot of fun.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Jeff Bridges and Ryan Reynolds headline the supernatural action-adventure R.I.P.D. as two undead cops dispatched by the otherworldly Rest In Peace Department to protect our world from an increasingly destructive array of creatures who refuse to move peacefully to the other side. R.I.P.D. is directed by Robert Schwentke (Red) and produced by Neal H. Moritz (the Fast and Furious series, I Am Legend), Michael Fottrell and Mike Richardson.’

It’s out July 19th in the US and August 30th in the UK. [Read more…]

Great New Posters For 300 Rise Of An Empire, Oldboy & R.I.P.D.

By Leave a Comment

300-rise-of-an-empire-poster1
New posters have emerged for three films that have slightly got lost in the shuffle as the studio concentrate on their biggest summer tentpole flicks. Even so, there are a lot of people out there waiting for 300: Rise Of An Empire, R.I.P.D. and Spike Lee’s remake of Oldboy.

300 director Zack Snyder tweeted the Rise Of An Empire poster (he’s producing and writing this time around, with Noam Murro directing). The follow-up stars Sullivan Stapleton as General Themistokles, who attempts to unite all of Greece in battle against the evil Persian ruler Xerxes (Rodrigo Santoro). The film hits cinemas this August.

R.I.P.D. follows a recently killed beat cop (Ryan Reynolds) who joins the Rest In Peace Department, where undead police patrol the underworld. He agrees to 100 years service in return for a shot at getting the guy who killed him, and is teamed with an old gunslinger (Jeff Bridges), who’s been dead hundreds of years. Robert Luketic directs, with a July US release date set (there’s no official UK date yet).

Oldboy follows an advertising executive (Josh Brolin) who is kidnapped and held hostage for 20 years in solitary confinement without any indication of his captor’s motive. When he is inexplicably released, he embarks on an obsessive mission to discover who orchestrated his bizarre and torturous punishment, only to find he is still trapped in a web of conspiracy and torment. Elizabeth Olsen, Sharlto Copley and Samuel L. Jackson also star. It’ll be in cinemas this autumn.

Gerard Butler Wants To Be Brilliant

By Leave a Comment

It’s getting to the point where Gerard Butler signing on for a project should make us all wary, but the actor has boarded Lakeshore Entertainment’s diamond-heist thriller, Brilliant, taking over a role that was originally set for Eric Bana (but who has since moved on).

The movie reunites the actor with Robert Luketic, after they previously worked together on The Ugly Truth. Gillian Gorfil’s script for Brilliant follows a group of seasoned thieves who recruit a small-time criminal for a specialist job as they prepare for the biggest diamond heist of all time.

The movie is now busy trying to land a female lead before shooting starts this May in Boston.
