The 33 Trailer – Antonio Banderas goes underground as a trapped Chilean miner

July 29, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

the-33-slideWhen a cave-in trapped a group of Chilean miner deep underground the story captivated the world, with millions waiting to hear what would happen to the men as rescuers laborious bug a new tunnel that would get them out.

It’s not surprising that Hollywood decided it would be a great tale to make a movie about, and now it’s on its way, with the first trailer having now arrived.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘In 2010, the eyes of the world turned to Chile, where 33 miners had been buried alive by the catastrophic explosion and collapse of a 100-year-old gold and copper mine. Over the next 69 days, an international team worked night and day in a desperate attempt to rescue the trapped men as their families and friends, as well as millions of people globally, waited and watched anxiously for any sign of hope. But 200 stories beneath the surface, in the suffocating heat and with tensions rising, provisions – and time – were quickly running out.

‘A story of resilience, personal transformation and triumph of the human spirit, the film takes us to the Earth’s darkest depths, revealing the psyches of the men trapped in the mine, and depicting the courage of both the miners and their families who refused to give up.

‘Based on the gripping true story of survival—and filmed with the cooperation of the miners, their families and their rescuers – “The 33” reveals the never-before-seen actual events that unfolded, above and below ground, which became nothing less than a worldwide phenomenon.

‘The international cast is led by Antonio Banderas, Rodrigo Santoro, Academy Award winner Juliette Binoche (“The English Patient”), James Brolin, and Lou Diamond Phillips, with Bob Gunton and Gabriel Byrne. The main cast also includes Mario Casas, Jacob Vargas, Juan Pablo Raba, Oscar Nuñez, Tenoch Huerta, Marco Treviño, Adriana Barraza, Kate Del Castillo, Cote de Pablo, Elizabeth De Razzo, Naomi Scott, Gustavo Angarita, and Alejandro Goic.

‘Patricia Riggen directed “The 33” from a screenplay by Mikko Alanne, Oscar nominee Craig Borten (“Dallas Buyers Club”) and Michael Thomas’. [Read more…]

13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi Trailer – Michael Bay heads for Libya with John Krasinski

July 29, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

13-hours-pic1-slideMichael Bay may be known for throwaway popcorn action on a massive scale, but he’s getting a little more serious for 13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi.

The film, which stars John Krasinski, Dominic Fumusa, James Badge Dale, Max Martini and Pablo Schreiber, now has a trailer, which you can watch below.

The movie is based on Mitchell Zuckoff’s book, which centres on six members of a security team. After the facility came under attack from militants angered about the recently release of a trailer for an Islam-bashing film called ‘Innocence Of Muslims’ and the anniversary of 9/11. The team fought to defend the lives of the Americans in the compound, although the attack claimed the life of US Ambassador Christopher J. Stevens and a foreign service worker, while two contract workers died in a second attack at a nearby CIA facility.

Chuck Hogan (The Town, The Strain) wrote the screenplay. The film is due out at the end of the year. [Read more…]

First Pic Of Cillian Murphy & Jamie Dornan In World War II Movie Anthropoid

July 29, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

anthropoid-pic1Anthropoid sounds like the title of the sci-fi movie, but it’s actually something a little more serious and historic that that, as it’s about a real-life mission to kill a Nazi leader. The movie has just started shooting, with Toby Jones, Harry Lloyd, Bill Milner, Alena Mihulovájoin, Jamie Dornan, Cillian Murphy, Anna Geislerová and Charlotte Le Bon starring.

The first pic has now arrived, featuring Jamie and Cillian.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘In 1941 Czechoslovakia was occupied by Nazi forces, governed by SS General Reinhard Heydrich. Nicknamed “The Butcher of Prague”, Heydrich had a meteoric rise through the SS ranks and was now second only to Himmler and Hitler in the Third Reich’s hierarchy. His unparalleled brutality and reign of terror on the Czech resistance movement led Allied authorities in London to hatch a top-secret mission that would change history.

‘Trained by British forces, two soldiers from Czechoslovakia’s army-in-exile were to be parachuted into their homeland with a daring assignment: to assassinate the man many saw as Hitler’s natural successor. ANTHROPOID tells the incredible story of this remarkable operation and the fate of these unsung heroes of WWII.’

Jake Gyllenhaal Circling Stronger, About Boston Marathon Bombing Survivor

July 29, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Jake-GyllenhaalShortly after the Boston Marathon Bombing various people announced they were planning movies based around the tragedy. However, so far none has made it to the screen. One of the movies still working its way through pre-production and may have found a new star, as Variety reports Jake Gyllenhaal is circling the movie.

If he signs on he’d play Jeff Bauman, who survived the bombing but lost both legs. Jake’s not the only actor in contention but it appears he’s the favourite to land the part, undoubtedly helped by his excellent performance in another underdog tale, Southpaw.

Bauman had a central role in the story, as film will ‘detail the aftermath of the 2013 attack at the marathon finish line, where Bauman had been cheering for his girlfriend. A photo of Bauman moments after the blast remains one of the best-known images from the tragedy, which killed three and injured more than 260. When Bauman awoke the next day after surgeries and realized he could not speak, he asked for a pad and paper and wrote: “Saw the guy. Looked right at me.” That set off a massive manhunt for Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, who was convicted of the murders in April.’

David Gordon Green is set to direct the movie, with John Pollono writing the script, based on a book by Bauman and Bret Witter.

Fresh Looks At Henry Cavill, Ben Affleck & Jesse Eisenberg In Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice

July 28, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

batman-v-superman-pic2It feels like we’ve already had a lot of marketing for Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, even though it’s not due out until March 2016. However Warner/DC has a lot riding on it, as they’re hoping that it will help launch a massive comic book universe to rival Marvel’s with nine further movies already planned over the next few year.

The latest look at the movie is via Empire, who’ve debuted some new pics giving us great looks at Henry Cavill’s Superman, Ben Affleck’s Batman and Jesse Eisenberg’s Lex Luthor. You can see those pics below.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Fearing the actions of a god-like super hero left unchecked, Gotham City’s own formidable, forceful vigilante takes on Metropolis’s most revered, modern-day savior, while the world wrestles with what sort of hero it really needs. And with Batman and Superman at war with one another, a new threat quickly arises, putting mankind in greater danger than it’s ever known before.’ [Read more…]

Hugh Jackman Shares First Wolverine Sequel Pic As He Prepares To Bid Goodbye To The Character

July 28, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

wolverine-sequel-promo-pic1Fox has a lot of X-Men in the works, with Deadpool, X-Men: Apocalypse and possibly Gambit next year, and then a currently untitled Wolverine sequel set for 2017. Plus there’s talk of X-Men and Fantastic Four crossing over.

While the Wolverine movie – which Hugh Jackman has said will be his last time playing the character – hasn’t gone in front of the camera yet, the actor has released a promo pic via Twitter, along with the message ‘My last time putting on the claws. What do you want to see happen? 50 words or less. I’ll read as many as I can.’

It’s not been confirmed what the movie will be about, but rumours suggest it will be based on the Old Man Logan storyline, which is set at a time when Wolverine is trying to live a quiet, simple life in a world dominated by superviallian, but is pulled back into the world of mutants when he’s asked to help deliver a package. James Mangold will once more direct.

Rachel McAdams Top Choice For The Female Lead In Marvel’s Doctor Strange

July 28, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

rachel-mcadamsFor quite some time now Benedict Cumberbatch has been attached to play the title role in Marvel’s Doctor Strange, but it’s only now they’re properly looking for a female lead to star opposite him, and according to Variety (confirming earlier rumours), Rachel McAdams is the top choice.

McAdams had previously suggested she was in contention for the film, telling the LA Times a few days ago, “It’s still super-early days, and I don’t know where that’s gonna go, if it’s gonna go anywhere at all.” However if she takes the role, it’s not clear who she will play.

Scott Derrickson is set to direct the movie which follows the title character, Doctor Strange (Cumberbatch), who is a former neurosurgeon, a practicing sorcerer, and becomes the Sorcerer Supreme, the primary protector of Earth against magical and mystical threats. Tilda Swinton and Chiwetel Ejiofor are also set to star.

The film will shoot this year, with a November 2016 release set.
