Michael Fassbender May Star In The Snowman

September 9, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

michael-fassbenderFor a long time Martin Scorsese was attached to direct a movie version of Jo Nesbo’s novel The Snowman. However just over a year ago he was replaced by Tomas Alfredson (Let the Right One In, Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy).

Now it looks like the project is ready to move forward, as THR reports that Michael Fassbender is in talks to play the lead role of Harry Hole. At the moment it’s still early days, but if all works out, he’ll be taking on the part.

Joe Nesbo’s novel follows Oslo detective Harry Hole, a loose cannon who is investigating the disappearance of a woman, whose pink scarf is found wrapped around a sinister-looking snowman. It could be the start of a franchise, as Hole has been part of numerous Nesbo books.

Matt Damon Is Back & Ripped In The First Pic From New Bourne Movie

September 9, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

matt-damon-bourne-5After Matt Damon left Jason Bourne behind – saying he wouldn’t return without director Paul Greengrass – both Damon and Greengrass are back on set for a new adventure, and to prove it producer Frank Marshall tweeted the pic above, where Matt is looking pretty ripped.

Not much is known about the plot of the movie, although the film brings back Julia Stiles as Nicky, while newcomers include Tommy Lee Jones, Alicia Vikander and Vincent Cassel (as the villain). All we know is that Damon has suggested Bourne will be dealing with “an austerity-riddled Europe and in a post-Snowden world,” with the plot touching on “spying and civil liberties and the nature of democracy.”

The film is due to hit cinemas July 29th, 2016.

Our Brand Is Crisis Trailer – Sandra Bullock dips in to political satire

September 8, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

our-brand-is-crisis-slideSandra Bullock returns with Our Brand Is Crisis, where she teams up with director David Gordon Green for a spot of political satire, based on a documentary about the 2002 Bolivian presidential elections. The trailer certainly suggests democracy isn’t always the straight-forward and fair system we’d like to think it is.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘A Bolivian presidential candidate failing badly in the polls enlists the firepower of an elite American management team, led by the deeply damaged but still brilliant strategist “Calamity” Jane Bodine (Bullock). In self-imposed retirement following a scandal that earned her nickname and rocked her to her core, Jane is coaxed back into the game for the chance to beat her professional nemesis, the loathsome Pat Candy (Billy Bob Thornton), now coaching the opposition.

‘But as Candy zeroes in on every vulnerability – both on and off the campaign trail – Jane is plunged into a personal crisis as intense as the one her team exploits nationally to boost their numbers. Dramatic, rapid-fire and laced with satire, “Our Brand is Crisis” reveals the cynical machinations and private battles of world-class political consultants for whom nothing is sacred and winning is all that matters.’

The film is due out later this year. [Read more…]

September 5, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

miss-peregrine-teaserTim Burton is returning with Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children, and they’re certainly trying to be enigmatic with the first, rather peculiar teaser for the movie. So what’s this Loop Day business all about?

Well Miss Peregrine’s Home is stuck in a time loop, where it’s always September 3, 1940, with the clock resetting before it gets bombed by the Germans.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘From visionary director Tim Burton, and based upon the best-selling novel, comes an unforgettable motion picture experience. When his beloved grandfather leaves Jake clues to a mystery that spans different worlds and times, he finds a magical place known as Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children. But the mystery and danger deepen as he gets to know the residents and learns about their special powers…and their powerful enemies. Ultimately, Jake discovers that only his own special “peculiarity” can save his new friends.’

Asa Butterfield, Eva Green, Ella Purnell, Allison Janney, Terence Stamp, Rupert Everett, Kim Dickens, Judi Dench, and Samuel L. Jackson star. It’ll be in cinemas next spring. [Read more…]

September 5, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

5th-wave-trailer-slideChloe Moretz is having a bit of trouble with aliens in The 5th Wave, which looks like it’s going to be a less bombastic take on what happens when extra-terrestrials attack than we’re used to.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Starring Chloë Grace Moretz and based on the bestseller: In the new film The 5th Wave, four waves of increasingly deadly attacks have left most of Earth decimated. Against a backdrop of fear and distrust, Cassie is on the run, desperately trying to save her younger brother.

Daniel Craig Is Looking Cool In A New Spectre Poster

September 3, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

spectre-poster2It’s not long now until the much anticipated new James Bond movie, Spectre, hits cinemas, with an October 26th UK release set, while the US and most other countries will have to wait until November 6th. With that release just a few weeks away, a new – and rather cool – poster has arrived.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘A cryptic message from the past sends James Bond (Daniel Craig) on a rogue mission to Mexico City and eventually Rome, where he meets Lucia Sciarra (Monica Bellucci), the beautiful and forbidden widow of an infamous criminal. Bond infiltrates a secret meeting and uncovers the existence of the sinister organisation known as SPECTRE.

‘Meanwhile back in London, Max Denbigh (Andrew Scott), the new head of the Centre for National Security, questions Bond’s actions and challenges the relevance of MI6, led by M (Ralph Fiennes). Bond covertly enlists Moneypenny (Naomie Harris) and Q (Ben Whishaw) to help him seek out Madeleine Swann (Léa Seydoux), the daughter of his old nemesis Mr White (Jesper Christensen), who may hold the clue to untangling the web of SPECTRE. As the daughter of an assassin, she understands Bond in a way most others cannot.

‘As Bond ventures towards the heart of SPECTRE, he learns of a chilling connection between himself and the enemy he seeks, played by Christoph Waltz.

‘Sam Mendes returns to direct SPECTRE, with Daniel Craig reprising his role as 007 for the fourth time. SPECTRE is produced by Michael G. Wilson and Barbara Broccoli, from a script by John Logan and Neal Purvis & Robert Wade and Jez Butterworth.’

Cate Blanchett Takes On Lucille Ball Biopic, With Aaron Sorkin Writing

September 3, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Cate-BlanchettAaron Sorkin must have got a taste for biopics as, after The Social Network and the upcoming Steve Jobs, he’s taking on a movie about US TV comedy legend Lucille Ball, which THR reports has Cate Blanchett set to star.

It seems a great mix of actor and writer for the movie (although it should be not Sorkin has officially signed to script the film next), which has been authorised by Ball’s family, and will have her children, Lucie Arnaz and Desi Arnaz Jr., as producers.

There’s little info on whether the film will cover all of Ball’s life or a specific period, but she’s certainly long overdue a biopic, as she is arguably the biggest US TV star ever, thanks to I Love Lucy, The Lucy–Desi Comedy Hour, The Lucy Show, Here’s Lucy and Life with Lucy. She was also very active behind the scenes, with her Desilu Studios (which she co-founded with her husband, Desi Arnaz), having been involved with the likes of Star Trek and Mission: Impossible.
