Captain America: Civil War Trailer – Get your first look at Tom Holland’s Spider-man

March 10, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

captain-america-civil-war-spider-manWhile there have been quite a few images and posters for Captain America: Civil War, they’ve deliberately shied away from showing us one of the main things everyone wants to see – Spider-man’s first appearance in a Marvel movie. The deal between Sony and Marvel allowed it to happen, and Tom Holland was cast in the role, with Civil War marking his first appearance before he gets a standalone movie.

However, the new Captain America: Civil War makes the big reveal, so get a good look at the new Spidey below.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Marvel’s “Captain America: Civil War” finds Steve Rogers leading the newly formed team of Avengers in their continued efforts to safeguard humanity. But after another incident involving the Avengers results in collateral damage, political pressure mounts to install a system of accountability, headed by a governing body to oversee and direct the team. The new status quo fractures the Avengers, resulting in two camps—one led by Steve Rogers and his desire for the Avengers to remain free to defend humanity without government interference, and the other following Tony Stark’s surprising decision to support government oversight and accountability.

‘Marvel’s “Captain America: Civil War” stars Chris Evans, Robert Downey Jr., Scarlett Johansson, Sebastian Stan, Anthony Mackie, Don Cheadle, Jeremy Renner, Chadwick Boseman, Paul Bettany, Elizabeth Olsen, Paul Rudd, Emily VanCamp, Frank Grillo and Martin Freeman, with William Hurt and Daniel Brühl.

‘Anthony & Joe Russo are directing with Kevin Feige producing. Louis D’Esposito, Victoria Alonso, Patricia Whitcher, Nate Moore and Stan Lee are the executive producers. The screenplay is by Christopher Markus & Stephen McFeely. Get ready to pick a side and join the nonstop action playing out on two fronts when Marvel’s “Captain America: Civil War” opens in U.K. cinemas on 29 April, 2016.’ [Read more…]

The Defenders Get An X-Men: Apocalypse Poster

March 10, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Xmen_Apocalypse_CampD_Defend-slideA couple of days ago a new poster for X-Men: Apocalypse introduced us to the Four Horsemen who will be plotting humanity’s destruction. Now it’s time for those on the other side to shine, including newcomers Sophie Turner, Tye Sheridan and Kodi Smit-McPhee as young versions of Jean Grey, Cyclops and Nightcrawler.

There’s also Professor Xavier (James McAvoy), Nicholas Hoult (Beast), Mystique (Jennifer Lawrence – who it seems is on the good side for this one), and Quicksilver (Evan Peters).

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Following the critically acclaimed global smash hit X-Men: Days of Future Past, director Bryan Singer returns with X-MEN: APOCALYPSE. Since the dawn of civilization, he was worshipped as a god. Apocalypse, the first and most powerful mutant from Marvel’s X-Men universe, amassed the powers of many other mutants, becoming immortal and invincible. Upon awakening after thousands of years, he is disillusioned with the world as he finds it and recruits a team of powerful mutants, including a disheartened Magneto (Michael Fassbender), to cleanse mankind and create a new world order, over which he will reign. As the fate of the Earth hangs in the balance, Raven (Jennifer Lawrence) with the help of Professor X (James McAvoy) must lead a team of young X-Men to stop their greatest nemesis and save mankind from complete destruction.’

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

Florence Foster Jenkins Trailer – Meryl Streep & Hugh Grant tell the true tale of a legendarily terrible singer

March 10, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

florence-foster-jenkins-poster-slideSynopsis: ‘The comedy drama directed by Stephen Frears (Philomena, The Queen) tells the inspirational true story of the eponymous New York heiress who obsessively pursued her dream of becoming a great singer. The film celebrates the human spirit, the power of music and the passion of amateurs everywhere.

‘The voice Florence (Streep) heard in her head was divine, but to the rest of the world it was hilariously awful. At private recitals, her devoted husband and manager, St Clair Bayfield (Grant), managed to protect Florence from the truth. But when Florence decided to give her first public concert at New York’s Carnegie Hall, St Clair realised he had perhaps bitten off more than he could chew.

‘The film’s supporting cast members include Simon Helberg (The Big Bang Theory) as Florence’s long suffering piano accompanist, Rebecca Ferguson (Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation) and Nina Arianda (Midnight in Paris).’

The film hits UK cinemas in May, but before that you can take a look at the trailer below. [Read more…]

Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping Red Band Trailer – Adam Samberg channels his inner singer

March 10, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

popstar-poster-slideSynopsis: ‘Universal Pictures’ Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping is headlined by musical digital-shorts superstars Andy Samberg, Akiva Schaffer and Jorma Taccone, collectively known as The Lonely Island. The comedy goes behind the scenes as singer/rapper Conner4Real (Samberg) faces a crisis of popularity after his sophomore album flops, leaving his fans, sycophants and rivals all wondering what to do when he’s no longer the dopest star of all.

‘The latest comedy from blockbuster producer Judd Apatow (Trainwreck, Superbad, Knocked Up) co-stars Sarah Silverman, Tim Meadows and Maya Rudolph and many of the biggest names in comedy and music in cameo performances. Co-directed by Schaffer and Taccone and written by The Lonely Island trio, Popstar is also produced by Rodney Rothman (producer of Get Him to the Greek, Forgetting Sarah Marshall; co-writer of 22 Jump Street), as well as Samberg, Schaffer and Taccone.’

The movie will be in cinemas later this year. Take a look at the red band trailer below. [Read more…]

Jake Johnson & Annabelle Wallis Join Tom Cruise in The Mummy

March 9, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

jake-johnsonA reboot of The Mummy franchise starring Tom Cruise always sounded a little odd, but it look like it’s happening, but the Mission: Impossible A-lister possibly being joined by Jake Johnson and Annabell Wallis, who are both in talks for the film.

Alex Kurtzman and Chris Morgan are producing the film, and are also in charge of creating a series of Avengers-style interconnected movies, based around the stable of Universal monsters. Sophia Boutella is also onboard to play The Mummy herself. Wallis meanwhile will be the female lead, who is a scientist, but there’s no news on who Johnson will be.

Although Universal is keeping its cards close to its chest, it’s believed this reboot will be set in the modern day. It’s also promised that it will be a horror movie, although mixed with action, adventure and probably a PG-13 certificate. Expect it in cinemas June 2017.

Mapplethorpe: Look at the Pictures Trailer – Into the life of the controversial gay photographer

March 8, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

robert-mapplethorpeA biopic is in the works of Robert Mapplethorpe, with Matt Smith currently set to play the provocative photographer. However, before then the documentary Mapplethorpe: Look at the Pictures will take us into the world of a man who caused a culture wars furore and in the process brought in-your-face queer art into the public consciousness like never before.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Following the hugely successful World premiere at Sundance Film Festival, Mapplethorpe: Look at the Pictures by Emmy Award winning directors Fenton Bailey and Randy Barbarto (Inside Deep Throat, Party Monster, The Eyes of Tammy Faye) about the life, work and legacy of controversial artist Robert Mapplethorpe will open in UK cinemas 22nd April 2016.

‘Mapplethorpe: Look at the Pictures is the first definitive feature-length portrait of artist Robert Mapplethorpe since his death from AIDS 1989. With two museums currently preparing joint retrospectives of Mapplethorpe’s work, theJ. Paul Getty Museum and The Los Angeles County Museum (LACMA), the directors took the opportunity to access rare and never before seen materials from his earliest forays into art and photography, to his work depicting the BDSM culture, to his delicate flower still lifes, to his portraiture – every aspect of his work is covered in this film

‘In addition to this wealth of material, Barbarto and Bailey use never before heard audio recordings of Mapplethorpe with interviews with his family, friends, lovers, and collaborators including: Edward Mapplethorpe, Fran Lebowitz, Brice Marden, Debbie Harry, Carolina Herrera, Bob Colacello, Brooke Shields, Gloria von Thurn und Taxis, Ken Moody, and Richard Sherman. Mapplethorpe: Look at the Pictures is a document of an ambitious and daring artist who challenged social norms and pushed boundaries with his confrontational images and created a rich market for photography.’

The film will be in UK cinemas on April 22nd, with the film due to air on HBO in the US around the same time. Take a look at the trailer below. It will also screen at the BFI Flare LGBT Film Festival on March 19th and 21st.

March 8, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

jk-simmons

It looks like Oscar-winner J.K. Simmons is swapping teams, as after playing Daily Planet editor J. Jonah Jameson in Sam Raimi’s Spider-man movies, he’s hopping across to the DC stable to play Commissioner Gordon in the Justice League movies, according to THR.

There’s not too much info on how the policeman will figure into the plot of the movie, but Simmons will join the likes of Batman (Ben Affleck), Superman (Henry Cavill), Wonder Woman (Gal Gadot), Aquaman (Jason Momoa), the Flash (Ezra Miller) and Cyborg (Ray Fisher), and his presence also suggest Gotham City will feature in the movie. The role will see the actor head to the Justice League: Part One set in mid-April, shortly after the release of Batman v Superman: Dawn Of Justice.

Zack Snyder is directing the movie, which is due for release in November 2017, with Justice League: Part Two pencilled in for July 2019. It’s not known is Simmons is likely to be seen in any of the other planned DC movies.

Captain America: Civil War Character Posters Emerge – Meet Team Cap

March 7, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

captain-america-civil-war-character1-slideI’m presuming next year’s crop of tenpole movies will see a lot of superheroes heading off for relationship counselling, as this year they’re all fighting. After Batman v Superman we’ll be getting Captain America: Civil War, which will see the Avengers fighting with one another, with the two sides led by the Cap and Iron Man.

It’s all going to get very messy, with most of the Marvel line-up involved, except for Thor and Hulk (who are presumably off getting ready for Thor: Ragnarok, which will feature both of them). To help prepare us, a set of character posters have been released, which appear to show us the characters who will be on Captain America’s side. You can take a look at them below.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Marvel’s “Captain America: Civil War” finds Steve Rogers leading the newly formed team of Avengers in their continued efforts to safeguard humanity. But after another incident involving the Avengers results in collateral damage, political pressure mounts to install a system of accountability, headed by a governing body to oversee and direct the team.
