Making a movie about someone who’s dying is a tricky business. On one level it’s a subject that involves inherent drama, but equally you don’t want to make something that sounds like such a downer no one will want to watch it. Likewise, you want people to get emotionally involved, but you don’t want it to be so emotionally manipulative and sentimental that people are nauseated rather than moved.

It’s a balance Now Is Good is constantly trying to work out, succeeding better at some times than others. [Read more…]

Is Jeremy Irvine The Most Handsome Young Actor Around?

March 14, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Jeremy Irvine in Now Is Good

Occasionally I see a photo of someone looking so youthful and handsome that it almost seems unfair and makes me wonder if there should be a sort of anti-plastic surgery for these people, in order to level the playing field. I had that reaction on see the pic above of War Horse star Jeremy Irvine.

The image comes from 21-year-old’s new movie, Now Is Good, is which he stars opposite Dakota Fanning, and in which he will generally wander around looking too handsome for his own good. The Brit flick is out May 25th, and we’ve gathered some pictures of Jeremy from the film below, so click on them to get a larger version (and when you get to the poster, it’s tough not to wish you were in Dakota Fanning’s place). And why are we doing this? Just because he’s pretty to look at, as if any other excuse were needed!

Here’s the synopsis for Now Is Good and below that you can get the trailer: ‘Tessa is seventeen and passionate about life. Diagnosed with a terminal illness, she determines to use every moment, compiling a catalogue of what a normal teenager would experience, including losing her virginity and taking drugs. With the help of her friend Zoey, she sets the list in motion. While her family deals with fear and grief, each in their own way, Tessa explores a whole new world. Falling in love with Adam, her new neighbour, wasn’t on the list, but it proves to be the most exhilarating experience of them all. Now Is Good will hit cinemas on May 25th.’

Now Is Good Trailer

March 6, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Films about people with terminal illnesses never sound like they’re going to be much fun, but they can be very rewarding. The latest movie bidding to move us is Now Is Good, which stars Dakota Fanning alongside a strong British cast, including Jeremy Irvine, Paddy Considine and Olivia Williams. Here’s the synopsis: ‘Tessa is seventeen and passionate about life. Diagnosed with a terminal illness, she determines to use every moment, compiling a catalogue of what a normal teenager would experience, including losing her virginity and taking drugs. With the help of her friend Zoey, she sets the list in motion. While her family deals with fear and grief, each in their own way, Tessa explores a whole new world. Falling in love with Adam, her new neighbour, wasn’t on the list, but it proves to be the most exhilarating experience of them all. Now Is Good will hit cinemas on May 25th.’ Take a look at the trailer, while the poster is below (and I have to say, look at that, I’ve never wanted to be Dakota Fanning as much in my life).
