Life Red Band Trailer – Aliens really don’t like Ryan Reynolds and Jake Gyllenhaal

March 14, 2017 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Aliens really need to learn how to chill out. While occasionally we find a nice one like ET, most of the time when humanity makes contact with alien life on screen, it all very quickly goes bad. That’s happening again in Life, where Ryan Reynolds and Jake Gyllenhaal are stuck in space with something alien and icky that wants to kill them. Previous promos for the movie have hidden the extraterrestrial away, but this red band trailer gives us some glimpses of monster.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Life tells the story of the six-member crew of the International Space Station that is on the cutting edge of one of the most important discoveries in human history: the first evidence of extraterrestrial life on Mars. As the crew begins to conduct research, their methods end up having unintended consequences and the life form proves more intelligent than anyone ever expected.’

The movie stars Jake Gyllenhaal, Rebecca Ferguson, Olga Dihovichnaya, Ariyon Bakare, Hiroyuki Sanada, and Ryan Reynolds. It’ll be in cinemas later this month. [Read more…]

Life Super Bowl Spot – Jake Gyllenhaal & Ryan Reynolds find life on Mars

February 5, 2017 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

The poor old International Space Station. It floats around doing good for science, but in the movies it’s a hotseat of problems, whether it’s getting smashed to smithereens in Gravity, or now in Life, being the location for a dangerous first contact with alien intelligence.

The Super Bowl spot for the movie has been released, which you can watch below.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Life tells the story of the six-member crew of the International Space Station that is on the cutting edge of one of the most important discoveries in human history: the first evidence of extraterrestrial life on Mars.

Jake Gyllenhaal Is In For Life With Ryan Reynolds & Rebecca Ferguson

March 13, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Jake-GyllenhaalJake Gyllenhaal has gotten Life – or at least he’s signed on to star in a movie of that name. He joins the previously cast Ryan Reynolds and Rebecca Ferguson in the sci-fi tale (some reports have suggested Gyllenhaal is replacing Reynolds, but Variety says both actors will be involved).

The film follows ‘the crew of the International Space Station, who, after retrieving a sample from Mars, discover that it displays signs of life, and proves to be more intelligent than expected.’ There’s no info on whether the tone is more action or horror, or indeed possible comedy, considering it’s written by Deadpool’s Paul Wernick and Rhett Reese.

Daniel Espinosa (Safe House) is set to direct the movie. It’s expected to shoot this year, probably after Gyllenhaal is finished with Stronger, about the Boston Marathon bombings.

Life Trailer – Dane DeHaan & Robert Pattinson take on James Dean & photographer Dennis Stock

August 13, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

life-slideIt feel like we’ve been waiting eons for Life, the film about the meeting between James Dean very early in his career and life photographer Dennis Stock. However the movie is now on its way and the trailer has arrived.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘LIFE tells the story of photographer Dennis Stock (Robert Pattinson) who convinced a rebellious young actor on the cusp of stardom, James Dean (Dane DeHaan) to allow him to shoot him for LIFE Magazine. The men take a trip from LA to Dean’s hometown of Fairmont, Indiana, via Times Square, New York so that Stock could, in his words, capture Dean in all the environments that had “affected and shaped the unique character “.

‘While Stock thinks he’s capturing a star in the moment before he breaks; in fact, he’s documenting Dean’s last moments of intimacy and simplicity. In the process of their journey, a deep affection and improbable friendship gradually develops between the two young men. Their trip would result in some of the most iconic images of the age and a new breed of film star.’

The movie is due out in the UK on September 25th. [Read more…]

Joel Edgerton Gets Life With Robert Pattinson & Dane DeHaan

March 16, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

joel-edgertonThe first image from the movie Life was released a few days ago, so you’d have thought the cast would be complete by now, but it turns out at they’ve found room for one more, as Robert Pattinson and Dane DeHaan have been joined by Joel Edgerton, according to Variety.

The film is based on the true story of freelance photographer Dennis Stock (Pattinson), who back in the 9150s was commissioned by Life Magazine to photograph up and coming movie star James Dean (DeHaan). They took journey from Los Angeles to New York, with the film following their burgeoning friendship along the way.

First Look At Dane DeHaan As James Dean & Robert Pattinson As Dennis Stock In Life

March 6, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

life-dane-dehaan1
When Dane DeHaan was cast as James Dean in Life, it seemed like a good fit, as the actor has more than a whiff of the 50s icon about him. Now we get our first look at him in the role, via EW, opposite Robert Pattinson as Life magazine photographer Dennis Stock.

The first pics features Dean and Stock traveling from the train station to Dean’s childhood home in Indiana.

The movie is a biopic about Dean and the friendship he formed with Life magazine photographer Dennis Stock (Pattinson). Stock was an up-and-coming photographer who took a gig in the early 1950s with the Magnum agency to shoot an emerging actor called James Dean.

The two men soon connected, with their friendship being charted through the iconic photos taken over the course of their friendship, which included a road trip from Los Angeles to New York and Indiana. This trip occurred just before Dean became a star. A few months later, he died in a fatal car accident.

It’s not known if the film will suggest Dean was bisexual (as many believe he was).

Anton Corbijn is directing the movie from a script by Luke Davies. The director comments ‘Rob has an intensity that I think Dennis would have. When I see Rob, I see an inner turmoil that is great for the role. And Dane is really interesting. He has a beautiful face, but it’s a hard face to grasp. It’s hard to see how Dane reads sometimes, and the same thing goes for James Dean.’

It’s currently unclear when we’ll get to see the movie.

Dane DeHaan Will Be James Dean In Life, With Robert Pattinson As His Friend

September 6, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

dane-dehaan2Plenty of actors have played James Dean on screen over the years, and if you were going to pick which of Chronicle’s Dane DeHaan and Robert Pattinson was most likely to take on the legend, you might have thought the latter. However while both have signed up for the movie Life, it’s DeHaan who’ll be the Rebel Without A Cause star, according to ScreenDaily.

The movie is a biopic about Dean and the friendship he formed with Life magazine photographer Dennis Stock (Pattinson). Stock was an up-and-coming photographer who took a gig in the early 1950s with the Magnum agency to shoot an emerging actor called James Dean.

The two men soon connected, with their friendship being charted through the iconic photos taken over the course of their friendship, which included a road trip from Los Angeles to New York and Indiana. This trip occurred just before Dean became a star. A few months later, he died in a fatal car accident.

Anton Corbijn is directing the movie from a script by Luke Davies.

It’s not known if the film will suggest Dean was bisexual (as many believe he was), although with DeHaan’s next film getting homoerotic with Daniel Radcliffe in Kill Your Darlings, the young actor probably wouldn’t be against going period gay again.
