New Welcome to Marwen Trailer – Steve Carell creates a miniature world for Robert Zemeckis

July 18, 2018 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Director Robert Zemeckis returns with Welcome To Marwen, which some think may be in the award season running next year (although it’s way too early to say). It’s certainly being lined up for an awards run with a late 2018 release planned. The new trailer shows it could be powerful if done right, showcasing Zemeckis’ love of bringing effects and technology to stories you might not initially think would need them.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Welcome to Marwen tells the miraculous true story of one broken man’s fight as he discovers how artistic imagination can restore the human spirit. When a devastating attack shatters Mark Hogancamp (Steve Carell) and wipes away all memories, no one expected recovery. Putting together pieces from his old and new life, Mark meticulously creates a wondrous town where he can heal and be heroic. As he builds an astonishing art installation—a testament to the most powerful women he knows—through his fantasy world, he draws strength to triumph in the real one.

‘In a bold, wondrous and timely film from this revolutionary pioneer of contemporary cinema, Welcome to Marwen shows that when your only weapon is your imagination…you’ll find courage in the most unexpected place.’

Welcome To Marwen also stars, Leslie Mann, Diane Kruger, Eiza González, Gwendoline Christie, and Janelle Monae. Take a look at the trailer below. [Read more…]

New Allied Trailer – Brad Pitt & Marion Cotillard get into some wartime action

September 21, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

allied-pitt-cotillard-slideBrad Pitt isn’t having a great time at the moment, but he’ll be hoping for some good news soon, if Allied is well-received. At least that would take his mind off things.

The film is a sweeping romantic thriller, with Pitt and Marion Cotillard as ‘undercover allies who begin to develop a romantic relationship as they plan a high-profile assassination. Pitt plays a British intelligence officer sent to Casablanca on the mission while Cotillard plays a French Resistance fighter who poses as his wife.’ However, Cotillard may be a Nazi spy.

The film is getting an Oscar friendly release towards the end of the year.

August 5, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

allied-pitt-cotillardIt looks like World War II is getting a little suave in Robert Zemeckis’ Allied, as his stars, Brad Pitt & Marion Cotillard, are certainly looking good in this first image from the movie, which has arrived via People. Lizzy Caplan, Matthew Goode, and Jared Harris also star in the movie.

The Walk (DVD Review)

January 31, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Starring: Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Charlotte Le Bon, Clément Sibony, César Domboy, James Badge Dale
Director: Robert Zemeckis
Running Time: 123 mins
Certificate: 12
Release Date: February 1st 2016 (UK)

It’s the 1970s and Frenchman Philippe Petit (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) is a small-time street entertainer in Paris, dreaming of something big. He believes that he is a wire-walking artist and that he is bigger that drawing a chalk circle and balancing a few feet off the ground.

He decides that the ‘coup’ that he must achieve is to walk between the still uncompleted Twin Towers of the World Trade Center in New York. It is a completely crazy idea – he doesn’t even know how far apart the buildings are – but after achieving a stunt to walk between the towers of Notre Dame, he begins to put his idea into action.

Back To The Future 30th Anniversary Trilogy (Blu-ray Review)

October 4, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Starring: Michael J. Fox, Christopher Lloyd, Lea Thompson, Thomas F. Wilson, Crispin Glover
Director: Robert Zemeckis
Running Time: 342 mins
Certificate: PG
Release Date: October 5th 2015 (UK)

Every year the internet gets excited after someone photoshops an image from Back To The Future to suggest we’ve finally reached the date that Marty, Doc Brown and Jennifer go to when they travel into the future in Back To The Future Part II. However, it’s always been a hoax – until now, that is!

Yep, October 21st, 2015 is the date that fans have been waiting for, even if we’ve had to come to accept that flying cars, hover boards, self-lacing shoes and food rehydrators aren’t the commonplace items the movie suggested they would be.

It’s not too surprising then that a DVD and Blu-ray re-release has been put together to celebrate both 30 years since the original movie and the fact we’ve very nearly reached the future (as well as 60 years since the 1955 parts of the trilogy). [Read more…]

New The Walk Trailer – Joseph Gordon-Levitt does a high wire act for Robert Zemeckis

June 4, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

the-walk-slideFor a very long time Robert Zemeckis was a many who couldn’t do anything without special effects, but more recently with Flight it looked like he was calming down. However with The Walk it appears he’s back to using effects to try and give a story a grander scale than it might otherwise have had.

And that’s certainly clear in this rather cool new trailer.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Twelve people have walked on the moon, but only one man – Philippe Petit (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) – has ever, or will ever, walk in the immense void between the World Trade Center towers. Guided by his real-life mentor, Papa Rudy (Ben Kingsley), and aided by an unlikely band of international recruits, Petit and his gang overcome long odds, betrayals, dissension and countless close calls to conceive and execute their mad plan. Robert Zemeckis, the director of such marvels as Forrest Gump, Cast Away, Back to the Future, Polar Express and Flight, again uses cutting edge technology in the service of an emotional, character-driven story. With innovative photorealistic techniques and IMAX 3D wizardry, The Walk is true big-screen cinema, a chance for moviegoers to viscerally experience the feeling of reaching the clouds. The film, a PG-rated, all-audience entertainment for moviegoers 8 to 80, unlike anything audiences have seen before, is a love letter to Paris and New York City in the 1970s, but most of all, to the Towers of the World Trade Center.’

The film opens this autumn. [Read more…]

Steve Carell To Star In Robert Zemeckis’ Marwencol

April 17, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

steve-carellAfter a few flops and disappointments it looked like Steve Carell’s movie career was on the ropes, but thanks to Foxcatcher and the Oscar nomination he got for it, he’s back on top, and now TheWrap reports he’s close to a deal to star in Marwencol for director Robert Zemeckis.

When the movie was first announced Leo DiCaprio was being sought to star, but now they’re going in a slightly different direction with Carell taking on the lead role.

The movie will be based on the life of Mark Hogancamp, who became the subject of a documentary by Jeff Malmberg’s in 2010 on which Zemeckis’ film will be based. The doc followed Hogancamp’s long road to recovery after he was severely beaten by five teenagers, causing him to slip into a coma for nine days. When he came out around, he had no memory of his life or friends and family.

To help his recovery, he began constructing a one-sixth scale model of a World War II-era Belgian village in his backyard, called Marwencol, with figures that resembled his friends, family members and even his attackers, which allowed him both to heal his memory and escape into his own fantasy scenarios.

Marty McFly Worries The 1950s Will Turn Him Gay In Back To The Future Deleted Scene

March 4, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

back-to-the-futureA deleted scene from Back To The Future has been doing the blogging rounds for the past few days, and while some have suggested it’s newly discovered, it’s actually been around for a while (it first appeared on the DVD release), but it is interesting.

In it Marty McFly (Michael J. Fox) worries that having to date his mom back in the 1950s is going to be enough to turn him off women for life.

He says, “I can’t believe I’m going to feel up my own mother. This is the kind of thing that could screw me up permanently. What if I go back to the future and I end up being… gay?”

Doc Brown then responds, “Why shouldn’t you be happy?”

It is a rather old-fashioned attitude to homosexuality, but the reason it was cut wasn’t to do with the idea people can be turned gay, or indeed Doc’s joke about not understanding what that word has come to mean by the 1980s.

Nope, it was due to the fact that as the makers cut the film together, they realised that Marty’s mother having an infatuation with him, and him then going on a date with her where he intends to be, err, ungentlemanly, was actually a bit screwed up for a family film. Therefore things that highlight what an Oedipally disturbing situation it is were toned down, and this is one of those things.

However, some have suggested it’s homophobic. Take a look below and see what you think. [Read more…]
