Goodbye Christopher Robin Trailer – The story behind AA Milne and Winnie the Pooh

June 17, 2017 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

It looks like Goodbye Christopher Robin will be one of the movies hoping for a bit of awards love at the end of the year, telling the true story behind the creation of Winnie The Pooh. Now the trailer for the movie has arrived.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘GOODBYE CHRISTOPHER ROBIN gives a rare glimpse into the relationship between beloved children’s author A. A. Milne (Domhnall Gleeson) and his son Christopher Robin, whose toys inspired the magical world of Winnie the Pooh. Along with his mother Daphne (Margot Robbie), and his nanny Olive (Kelly Macdonald), Christopher Robin and his family are swept up in the international success of the books; the enchanting tales bringing hope and comfort to England after the First World War. But with the eyes of the world on Christopher Robin, what will the cost be to the family?

‘Additional cast includes Stephen Campbell Moore, Alex Lawther, Richard McCabe, Nico Mirallegro, Geraldine Somerville and Phoebe Waller-Bridge. The film is directed by Simon Curtis (WOMAN IN GOLD, MY WEEK WITH MARILYN) from a script written by Frank Cottrell-Boyce (RAILWAY MAN, MILLIONS) and Simon Vaughan (“War and Peace”). Damian Jones (ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS: THE MOVIE, THE LADY IN THE VAN) produced with Steve Christian (BELLE), and Curtis and Vaughan also served as executive producers.’

It’ll be in cinemas in September. [Read more…]

Bryan Cranston & Kevin Hart In Talks For Untouchable Remake

April 3, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

bryan-cranston2011’s Untouchable (aka Intouchables) is one of the most successful non-English language movies ever made, grossing over $400 million around the world. However it made little impact in the US, other than to get Hollywood interested in a remake.

That said, it’s taken them a long time to start properly moving forward on it, but now they’re casting the film, with Variety reporting that Bryan Cranston and Kevin Hart are in talks for the lead roles. Simon Curtis (My Week With Marilyn) is attached to direct.

The original movie followed a man who becomes a quadriplegic in a terrible accident and need to find a carer. He ends up hiring a poor, African immigrant with no experience, but who looks at him with no pity. Despite difficulties, they develop a strong bond that changes both of their lives.

The remake is expected to shoot this summer, and with a script by Paul Feig and Hart onboard, it’s likely to have a more overtly comic tone that the original.

April 6, 2014 By Tim Isaac 1 Comment

Ryan-ReynoldsRyan Reynolds is best known for comedy and action roles, but he’s actually had more dramatic parts than you might have realised. Now he’s got a part that will really test his acting chops as Deadline reports Reynolds has joined The Woman in Gold, alongside Helen Mirren and Daniel Bruhl.

Mirren will play Maria Altmann, a real-life Jewish WWII survivor who took action against the Austrian government to retrieve several Gustav Klimt paintings she believed had been looted from her family. The title refers to the most famous of those paintings.

Ryan Reynolds is set be her attorney, with Daniel Bruhl as the lawyer arguing the other side of the case.

My Week with Marilyn’s Simon Curtis is directing from a script by Alexi Kaye Campbell. Film is slated to begin this May.

Simon Curtis Takes On Edith Wharton’s Buccaneers

October 9, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Simon Curtis scored a big success with My Week With Marilyn, and it seems he’s planning to stay in the past as THR reports he’s planning to bring Edith Wharton’s The Buccaneers to the big screen, teaming with BBC Films, Ruby Films, and screenwriter Heidi Thomas.

The story is set in high society and follows five wealthy American girls who, unable to find mates in New York, set off for England in search of well-off gentleman bachelors. Interestingly, Wharton never finished the book, with this version working from an ending written by Wharton scholar Marion Mainwaring in 1993.

It won’t be the BBC’s first brush with the story, as they brought it to TV in the mid-90s, although for that version they made up their own ending for the tale.

It isn’t clear when The Buccaneers might shoot, although it may be a while, as Curtis is also attached to Click To Connect, from He’s Just Not That Into You screenwriter Liz Tuccillo.

Marilyn Director Simon Curtis Takes On Click To Connect

April 12, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

After the success of My Week With Marilyn, director Simon Curtis has been one of the more in demand directors around, but it’s taken him a while to decide exactly what he wants to make next. He’s now decided on Click To Direct, a romantic anthology film that’s set up at Fox 2000.

Liz Tuccillo’s script follows a group of character, ranging in ages from their early 20s to their late 60s, who are all involved in online dating, but whose attitude towards it is informed by the past experience of life and love.

Curtis hopes that the ensemble film can showcase his versatility and range as a director. It’s not clear yet when the movie will shot. (Source: Variety)
