Zac Efron Has Super-Abs, Seth Rogen Not So Much In First Official Pic From Neighbors 2

December 31, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

zac-efron-seth-rogen-neighbors-2

There have been quite a lot of set pictures of Zac Efron with his top off on the set of Neghbors 2 (which will be Bad Neighbours 2 in the UK). However, it’s only now that the first official pic has arrived, which shows that it’s not just Efron who’ll be taking off his shirt, as Seth Rogen is showing off his chest hair too.

And not to be outdone on the abs front, Rogen has gotten out the magic marker to draw some on.

Not a vast amount is known about the plot of the movie, although the fact it’s likely to have the subtitle ‘Sorority Rising’ suggests that after Efron and co’s frat boys hijinks in the first movie, this time around the ladies will be getting in on the action.The likes of Chloe Moretz and Selena Gomez have been signed up to cause some of that trouble.

It’ll be in cinemas next May. And if you want to see a little more of Zac – with very little to cover his modesty – click here for the recently revealed nude scene from the upcoming Dirty Grandpa.

First Pics Of Emily Blunt In The Girl On The Train Movie Adaptation

December 31, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

girl-on-the-train-pic1Paula Hawkins’ The Girl On The Train has been a huge hit as a book, so it’s not surprising at all that Hollywood has picked it up and is making a movie. The film is chugging forwards quickly, wth Emily Blunt in the lead role and Justin Theroux, Rebecca Ferguson, Édgar Ramírez, Luke Evans, Allison Janney, and Lisa Kudrow co-starring.

The book follows ‘Rachel, [who] takes the same commuter train every morning. Every day she rattles down the track, flashes past a stretch of cozy suburban homes, and stops at the signal that allows her to daily watch the same couple breakfasting on their deck. She’s even started to feel like she knows them. “Jess and Jason,” she calls them. Their life—as she sees it—is perfect. Not unlike the life she recently lost.

‘And then she sees something shocking. It’s only a minute until the train moves on, but it’s enough. Now everything’s changed. Unable to keep it to herself, Rachel offers what she knows to the police, and becomes inextricably entwined in what happens next, as well as in the lives of everyone involved. Has she done more harm than good?’

The novel has been compared to Gone Girl and also has shades of Agatha Christie’s Miss Marple tale, 4.50 From Paddington. For the movie the action has been moved from Britain to the US (although Blunt will still be British). Tate Taylor (The Help) directs, with the movie due out next summer.

First Look At Ryan Gosling & Emma Stone In La La Land

December 31, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

La-La-Land-pic1

Are you ready for a musical with Ryan Gosling & Emma Stone? While many don’t particular think of them for their singing, they’ve both actually opened up their pipes numerous times on screen (after all, Gosling was nearly in N*Sync) and now they’ve teamed up with Whiplash director Damien Chazelle for La La Land.

The film is about a lonely, aspiring actress (Stone) who desperately trying to find her way in Los Angeles. She meets jazz pianist Sebastian (Gosling) and they quickly fall in love. However they soon realise that balancing their art and their relationship isn’t as easy as they thought.

Chazelle has said of the movie, “I’d like to make a contemporary musical about L.A., starting with the L.A. we know but slowly building to a vision of the city as romantic metropolis–one that is actually worthy of the dreams it inspires. I’d like to make a musical about the way L.A.’s peculiar rhythms can push its residents to the edge of their emotions – be they hope, desperation or love.”

The film is due in cinemas this summer, but take a look at the first image above.

First Look At Benedict Cumberbatch In Marvel’s Doctor Strange

December 28, 2015 By Tim Isaac 1 Comment

Doctor-Strange-ew2-slideMarvel’s stable of movie superheroes is due to grow over the next few years, and one of the first new characters to be introduced will be Doctor Strange, as played by Benedict Cumberbatch. EW has gotten hold of the first pics of Benedict in the role, where he’s certainly looking rather grandiose and dapper. There are also a couple of bits of concept art from the film.

Cumberbatch will play Stephen Vincent Strange, a former neurosurgeon who becomes the next Sorcerer Supreme and primary protector of Earth against magical and mystical threats. Marvel Comics artist Steve Ditko created the character in 1963. Tilda Swinton will play Strange’s mentor, the Ancient One, while Chiwetel Ejiofor will appear as Baron Mordo, who also studies magic under the Ancient One in the comic books, before becoming Doctor Strange’s nemesis. Mads Mikelsen is also onboard to play an as yet unnamed villain, who EW says, is ‘a sorcerer who breaks off into his own sect… he believes that the Ancient One is just protecting her own power base and that the world may be better off if we were to allow some of these other things through.’

Scott Derrickson is directing the movie. It’ll be in cinemas November 2016. [Read more…]

Tom Hardy & Kenneth Branagh To Star In Christopher Nolan’s WWII Drama Dunkirk

December 28, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Tom-Hardy

A couple of days ago rumours starting swirling that Christopher Nolan’s next movie would be about the epic evacuation of allied soldiers from the beaches of Dunkirk during World War II. That’s now been confirmed, with THR adding that Tom Hardy, Mark Rylance and Kenneth Branagh are both in talks to star.

Nolan also wrote the screeplay and, as he did for his Dark Knight movies and Insterstellar, the director will shoot certain sequences in IMAX, this time using IMAX 65mm alongside 65mm large format film photography for the rest of the movie. However, as this is Nolan, there are no exact details on the plot, nor info on what roles Hardy and Branagh will be playing. It’s believed the rest of the cast will largely be unknowns.

Warner Bros. President Greg SIlverman commented, “We are thrilled to be continuing our collaboration with Christopher Nolan, a singular filmmaker who has created some of the most critically acclaimed and commercially successful films of all time. Dunkirk is a gripping and powerful story and we are excited to see Chris, Emma and their cast realize it on the big screen.”

The Dunkirk evacuation ocurred in May 1940, when Belgian, British, and French soldiers in Northern France were cut off and surrounded by the German Army. It was a giant military disaster – something even Winston Churchill acknowledged in a speech in the House Of Commons – with hundreds of thousands of men trapped, with the German Army on one side and the sea on the other. A massive evacuation was put into operation, with Naval vessels joined by an armada of ‘little ships’, such as fishing boats, small ferries, tourist boats, lifeboats and merchant marine craft, which braved the seas and German guns in order to help rescue over 300,000 men.

The evacuation is one of the most incredible stories of the war – an event which could have allowed the Germans to win if the men had not been saved. Nolan’s movie will be released July 21st, 2017.

New Deadpool Trailer – Ryan Reynolds wants us to know it’s a different type of superhero movie

December 25, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

deadpool-christmas-posterI’m sure that when you opened your presents this morning, there was a nagging sadeness in your soul, wishing that someone had given you a trailer for a movie about a wise-cracking sort-of-superhero, who’s taking the X-Men franchise in a rather different direction. Well, don’t worry, because now we’ve got one for you!

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Based upon Marvel Comics’ most unconventional anti-hero, DEADPOOL tells the origin story of former Special Forces operative turned mercenary Wade Wilson, who after being subjected to a rogue experiment that leaves him with accelerated healing powers, adopts the alter ego Deadpool. Armed with his new abilities and a dark, twisted sense of humor, Deadpool hunts down the man who nearly destroyed his life.’

The film stars Ryan Reynolds, Morena Baccarin, Gina Carano, T.J. Miller and Ed Skrein. It’ll be in cinemas in February, but enjoy the trailer below.

Everybody Wants Some Trailer – Richard Linklater returns to a nostalgia for youth

December 22, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

everybody-wants-someAfter the massive success of his ambitious Boyhood, Richard Linklater is sticking with his love of tales about growing up with Everybody Wants Some, which has been described as a spiritual sequel to Dazed & Confused. Although it’s not due out for a few months, the first trailer has arrived.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Set in the world of 1980s college life, Everybody Wants Some is a comedy, directed and written by Richard Linklater, that follows a group of college baseball players as they navigate their way through the freedoms and responsibilities of unsupervised adulthood. Get ready for the best weekend ever.’

If you watch the trailer below, you can certainly see why it’s been compared to Linklater’s wonderful 1004 movie Dazed & Confused, which chronicled the final day of high school for a group of 1970s high school students. This time he’s moving to college, but it seems he’s going for a similar mix of humour, nostalgia and serious points that marked his earlier movie.

The film will premiere at SXSW in March, and should hit cinemas not too long afterwards.

Fresh Look At Renee Zellweger, Patrick Dempsey & Colin Firth In Bridget Jones’ Baby

December 22, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

bridget-jones-baby-ew2-slideBridget Jones is coming back to the world of film, although due to Hugh Grant deciding not to return, it’ll be a different story to the one told in Helen Fielding’s books. Instead of Grant we’ve got the addition of Patrick Dempsey alongside the returning Renee Zellweger and Colin Firth.

Back in October we got our first pic of Zellweger in the third Bridget movie, and now a few more have arrived via EW, giving us a further taste of the movie.

Things won’t be too different in the movie despite the lack of Hugh Grant, as once more she’s stuck between two attractive men, but the main issue this time is that she’s pregnant and isn’t 100% sure which of them is the dad. However, despite being preggers, we can expect Bridget to once more be a bit clumsy and prone to fnding herself in awkward situations.

Take a look at the new pics below. The movie will arrive in cinemas next autumn.

Katherine Waterston To Star In Alien: Covenant

December 20, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

katherine-waterstonRidley Scott is finally back at work on Prometheus 2, which is now known as Alien: Covenant (indeed, they slightly seem to be trying to pretend Prometheus never happened), and he’s now casting who will appear alongside Michael Fassbender in the film. While it appears Noomi Rapace will have a small role, it appears shes passing the main female lead role across to Katherine Waterston, who’s now in final talks for the part.

Covenant isn’t completely ignoring Prometheus, as it will follow what happened after Fassbender and Rapace left the alien planet, in search of the engineers that apparently created the human race. However, the early info suggests something has happened to Rapace’s Shaw, leaving Fassbender’s David alone. They then rendezvous with another ship, and it won’t be surprising to hear they end up with a bit of a xenomorph issue, with Scott already promising that the classic aliens will be making a return. We’ll also get to find out what disaster befel the engineers.

There have been some suggestions that Steve Jobs and Inherent Vice star Waterston may be playing Ellen Ripley’s grandmother in the movie, although that hasn’t been confirmed. It’s expected the movie will shoot next year, for release in 2017.

Whiskey Tango Foxtrot Trailer – Tina Fey heads out to report on war

December 17, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Whiskey-Tango-Foxtrot-poster1-slideWar and comedy may not seem like easy bedfellows, but Tina Fey is giving it a go with Whiskey Tango Foxtrot. The film, previously known as Taliban Shuffle, is based on a true story of a reporter getting out of their depth in Afghanistan.

Inspired by Kim Barker’s memoir, the film follows her after she first arrived in Kabul as a journalist in 2002. At the time she barely owned a passport, spoke only English and had little idea how to do the ‘Taliban Shuffle’ between Afghanistan and Pakistan. However, her stories about Islamic militants and shaky reconstruction were soon overshadowed by the bigger news in Iraq. But as she delved deeper into Pakistan and Afghanistan, her love for the hapless countries grew, along with her fear for their future stability. Martin Freeman and Margot Robbie co-star.

Fey is currently in cinemas with Sisters, with Whiskey Tango Foxtrot  due out in the UK March 4th 2016. Take a look at the first trailer below.
