June 13, 2017 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

In the last few weeks, it seems Tumblr has been full of gifs from Center Of My World, as while it may focus on two teen boys who are still in school, it isn’t shy of a little full-frontal nudity. We really enjoyed the film when we caught it at the BFI Flare London LGBT Film Festival earlier this year – and you can read our review here.

In the movie, after a summer away Phil arrives back hom to discover his free-spirited mother and his twin sister aren’t speaking, but they won’t tell him why. Once back in school, ne is immediately enamoured with new boy Nicholas, and is surprised when his crush seems to feel the same way. As a passionate – and pretty sexy – love affair develops, Phil learns more about the secrets that have split his sister and mother apart.

TLA Releasing will be bringing out the film in the US later this year, while Matchbox Releasing has set a UK cinema release of September 25th, 2017. Take a look at the trailer below. [Read more…]

Anything Clip – First look at the controversial film starring Matt Bomer as a transgender sex worker

June 13, 2017 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

When it first became widely known that Matt Bomer was playing a trangender sex worker in the upcoming movie Anything, there was an immediate controversy. Many were angry that yet again a cisgender person was playing a transgender role, and there was also frustration that yet again that trans person was going to be involved in sex work.

The film is now preparing for its premiere this weekend in the LA Muse section of the Los Angeles Film Festival. Ahead of that the first clip from the movie has arrived, debuting over at Deadline.

The film is about, ‘Early Landry (John Carroll Lynch), who after losing his wife is forced to move to Los Angeles so he can be cared for by his over-protective sister (Maura Tierney), but escapes her clutches to start a new life in Hollywood. He quickly becomes enamored by his neighbor, Freda (Matt Bomer). His loneliness and need for companionship opens his heart to a remarkable new relationship, but their growing affection must be reconciled with the complexity of their disparate backgrounds.’

Marc Ruffalo, who executive produced the film, has defended Bomer’s casting, although its yet to be seen whether a wider audience will be prepared to look past the issues that have been highlighted. It’ll be interesting to see the first reviews following its premiere on Saturday at 3 PM at the Arclight Cinema in Santa Monica. Take a look at the first clip below. [Read more…]

Spidarlings Trailer – The LGBT punk rock musical is coming to Troma soon!

June 6, 2017 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

There aren’t many British, queer punk musicals, and even fewer that have tickled the fancy of the legendary b-movie distributor, Troma. However, the company has picked up the unusual and intriguing Spidarlings for release via Troma Now.

The film is ‘the love story of a young lesbian couple, Eden & Matilda, which deals with subjects such as the British Welfare system and gender fluidity.’ However, when you watch the trailer, you’ll also see that it deals with plenty of punk strangeness, tarantulas, an air of experiment camp and an unexpected green tentacle.

Spidarlings features music and songs by Jeff Kristian, who’s best known e as Big Brother’s Singing Drag Queen on Big Brother’s Bit on the Side. Salem Kapsaski directs the movie, which premieres on Troma Now on July 1st. Take a look at the trailer below. [Read more…]

Tom Of Finland UK Trailer – The biopic of the famed gay erotic artist arrives soon

June 6, 2017 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

After a couple of years where duelling biopics of Tom Of Finland were vying to get made, one is finally in the can and getting strong reviews on the festival circuit. Ahead of its August UK cinema release, a new trailer for the film has arrived. the first full for the movie about the artist, known for his images of musclebound and, err, well-endowed men in homoerotic poses, has arrived.

Born Touko Laaksonen, Tom Of Finland’s stylised images of hunky men with massive bulges, often wearing leather and/or uniforms, became iconic in the gay community. His popularity was initially helped by the fact that while many countries in the 1950s and 1960s saw photographs of naked and near-naked men as pornography, drawn pictures were classed as art and so Tom Of Finland’s images became extremely popular.

Despite the homophobic era his art came from, his stature has grown over the years to the point where the likes of the Museum of Modern Art (MOMA) and Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) hold his images. The movie follow Laaksonen’s story, after he returns from the war to discover civilian life for a gay man is a battlefield in its own right. He finds refuge in his art.

Finnish and Swedish director Dome Karukoski directs the movie from a script by Aleksi Bardy. Take a look at the new trailer below. The film arrives in UK cinemas on August 11th. [Read more…]

The Fabulous Allan Carr Teaser – Jeffrey Schwarz looks at the larger than life gay film producer

June 2, 2017 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Over the past few years, director Jeffrey Schwarz has done a great job of looking at gay history and life through the prism of key individuals. He’s looked at activist and film historian Vito Russo (in Vito), and two very different film stars in I Am Divine and Tab Hunter: Confidential.

Now he’s back looking at a man who helped bring Grease, and the Village People’s Can’t Stop The Music to the big screen as a producer, as well as shepherding La Cage Aux Folles onto the Broadway stage – Allan Carr. He also managed major stars such as Ann-Margaret, Peter Sellers and Joan Rivers, as well as helping the like of Mark Hamill and Michelle Pfeiffer to find success.

Carr was known for his larger-than-life personality, legendary parties, and his love for sex and decadence.

Schwarz tells Equality 365, “With this film, I also wanted to explore the gay experience in Hollywood in the 1970’s and 80’s – the new freedoms that could be enjoyed, and what the limitations were. It was an opportunity to tell a social history from the era when homosexuality was never discussed and gays sought solace in the movies through the hedonistic 1970’s, embracing the sensual and then the 1980’s when AIDS came along and ruined the party.

“Although it was no secret that Allan Carr was a gay, he never formally acknowledged it publicly. The word “flamboyant” was often used to describe him, a code word.  Using humor and outrageousness to gain entry into a conservative industry, Allan Carr furthered the acceptance of gay identity just by being himself, and his sensibility found its way into his product.”

The first trailer for the movie has now been released, via NewNowNext, which you can take a look at below. The film recently premiered at the Seattle International Film Festival and will screen at the Frameline Film Festival in San Francisco in June. [Read more…]

We Don’t Belong Here Trailer – Anton Yelchin play a young gay man in one of his final roles

May 24, 2017 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

It was a genuine shock when young Anton Yelchin was killed in a tragic accident last year. Now his final roles are making it to the screen, including We Don’t Belong Here (previously titled The Greens Are Gone), which has recently been released on DVD/VoD in the US.

The very simple official synopsis says, ‘The matriarch of a dysfunctional family is pushed to her tipping point when her son goes missing.’. That doesn’t explain though the the son, Max (Yelchin), has plenty of problem, as he’s bipolar and self-medicating on drugs, as well as dealing with PTSD following a car accident. He’s also gay, something his mother (Catherine Keener) doesn’t approve of. Following Max’s dissapearance, family secrets start to spill out.

The likes of Riley Keough, Maya Rudolph, Justin Chatwin, Cary Elwes and Molly Shannon also star. Take a look at the trailer below. (H/T NNN) [Read more…]

120 Beats Per Minute Trailer – Eastern Boys’ Robin Campillo pays tribute to HIV/AIDS activist group ACT UP

May 22, 2017 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

One of the movies in competition at Cannes this year is 120 Beats Per Minute, from Eastern Boys helmer, Robin Campillo. The film is a bit of a love letter to ACT UP, the HIV/AIDS activist group that Campillo himself was involved with himself during his youth. While we normally hear about what ACT UP did in the US, this movie focuses on the grassroots organisation in France.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Early 1990s. With AIDS having already claimed countless lives for nearly ten years, Act up-Paris activists multiply actions to fight general indifference. Nathan, a newcomer to the group, has his world shaken up by Sean, a radical militant, who throws his last bits of strength into the struggle.’

Take a look at the trailer for the movie below. No release date is currently set beyond an August debut in France. [Read more…]

In A Heartbeat Trailer – Take a look at the CGI animated gay-themed short that smashed its Kickstarter

May 20, 2017 By Tim Isaac 1 Comment

There aren’t many gay-themed computer animated LGBT-themed short films, and so In A Heartbeat is something a bit special. Many others have agreed, as after it launched a Kickstarter in the hope of raising $3,000 in the hope of finishing the short off, in ended up smashing that target and instead getting over $14,000 worth of pledges.

Esteban Bravo and Beth David from the Ringling College of Art are the filmmakers behind the project, which will be three to four minutes long when complete. In the short, ‘A closeted boy runs the risk of being outed by his own heart after it pops out of his chest to chase down the boy of his dreams.’

Bravo says, “Being gay is a subject that hasn’t been widely explored in computer animation. Nine out of ten LGBT youths have reported incidences of bullying based on their orientations and identities.”

David adds, “We want to put out a message of love and self acceptance to all the kids and young people who struggle to identify as LGBT+ just like Sherwin does.”

Bravo continue, “The heart wants what the heart wants, and there’s nothing wrong with that.”

Take a look at the cute trailer below. In A Heartbeat is expected to be released online for free sometime this summer. [Read more…]
