I’m sure there are a few people out there who wouldn’t mind waking up as Ryan Reynolds tomorrow, but it looks like Ben Kingsley is actually going to do it in Self/Less, and if you want to see how, take a look at the trailer below.
Based on an script by Alex and David Pastor (who wrote and directed the 2009 horror Carriers), the film is about a wealthy old man (Kingsley) who pays to have his mind transplanted into a younger body (Reynolds) after he realises that is dying. In a very bad turn of luck, he soon realises that the body he’s taken over is a murder victim, and the body’s killers aren’t happy to see him walking around again. The hero is then forced to go on the run and work out who’s trying to kill him.
Tarsem Singh directs the film, which should be out later this year. [Read more…]
After a five year gap, we got two films from Tarsem Singh in less than a year with Immortals and Mirror Mirror. However since then he’s mainly been flirting around other project, although Selfless, starring Ryan Reynolds, should be in cinemas next year. Now he’s signed on for a new one, as 
Director Tarsem Singh was averaging one film ever six years with The Cell and The Fall, but he’s speeded up his output considerably, as Immortals and Mirror Mirror were released within eight months of one another in 2011 and 2012.
Tarsem Singh is certain speeding up his rating of making movies. It’s taken him 11 years to get three movies into cinemas (The Cell, The Fall, Immortals), but his fourth movie, Mirror Mirror, is coming up fast next March and now he’s already planning what he’ll do next.
The reviews for Immortals may not exactly have been kind (it currently stands at a rather measly 36% on Rotten Tomatoes), but there’s little doubt that there’s plenty of very pretty man-flesh on display. As in 300, the film shows us that ancient Greek time, men had an aversion to wearing clothes, and were all ridiculously buff! It may not be historically accurate, but it’s sure pretty. Immortals, starring future Superman Henry Cavill, alongside Kellan Lutz, Luke Evans, Mickey Rourke, and Stephen Dorff, is in cinemas now – but if you just fancy ogling the pecs, take a look below (click on the images to enlarge).
