For many years Z For Zachariah was a staple of school classroom, but it’s only now, long after the nuclear fears that ignited it, that it’s coming to the big screen. And a few changes have been made, not least upping the age of the female lead character to avoid the slight creepy edge of the relationship between a teen girl and a grown man in Robert C. O’Brien’s book.
Here’s the synopsis: ‘In the wake of a nuclear war, a young woman (Margot Robbie) survives on her own, fearing she may actually be the proverbial last woman on earth, until she discovers the most astonishing sight of her life: another human being. A distraught scientist (Chiwetel Ejiofor), he’s nearly been driven mad by radiation exposure and his desperate search for others. A fragile, imperative strand of trust connects them. But when a stranger (Chris Pine) enters the valley, their precarious bond begins to unravel.’
The film will be out in the US in August, but no UK date is currently set. [Read more…]

The London Film Festival may not be until October, but there’s been a very early announcement of the opening film, as Suffragette will kick off the event with its European Premiere on October 7th. Alongside that news came the trailer for film.
Andrew Garfield is doing something a little different than swinging through the streets of New York as Spider-man with his new film, 99 Homes. Now the trailer has arrived, which you can take a look at below.
Although it sounds like a rather different type of movie, Paper Towns will be hoping to follow the success of The Fault in Our Stars, as they’re both adapted from books by John Green. Indeed there’s a sense Hollywood is hoping Green can be a Nicholas Sparks for young adults.
Are you ready for more Ted? I certainly am, and from the evidence of this new trailer it’s going to be another crazy journey into a world of talking teddies and a doofus Mark Wahlberg.
