First Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 2 Featuring Jennifer Lawrence & Liam Hemsworth Arrives

June 3, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

mockingjay-part-2-pic1Yesterday the first The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 2 poster arrives, which suggested the rebels really want to destroy President Snow, and now it’s been followed by the first image, with rumours that a trailer will be coming next week.

The pic shows Katniss (Jennifer Lawrence), Gale (Liam Hemsworth), Messalla (Evan Ross) and Finnick (Sam Claflin) apparently in battle against the Capitol.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘With the nation of Panem in a full scale war, Katniss confronts President Snow (Donald Sutherland) in the final showdown. Teamed with a group of her closest friends – including Gale (Liam Hemsworth), Finnick (Sam Claflin), and Peeta (Josh Hutcherson) – Katniss goes off on a mission with the unit from District 13 as they risk their lives to stage an assassination attempt on President Snow who has become increasingly obsessed with destroying her. The mortal traps, enemies, and moral choices that await Katniss will challenge her more than any arena she faced in The Hunger Games.

‘THE HUNGER GAMES: MOCKINGJAY PART 2 is released in UK cinemas on 19th November 2015.’

The Good Dinosaur Teaser Trailer – Plus a poster for Pixar’s movie

June 2, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Good-Dinosaur-Teaser-poster1Last year Pixar very rudely didn’t release a movie at all, but they’re making up for it with two in 2015 – Inside Out and The Good Dinosaur. The latter was actually supposed to have a 2014 release but a major reworking saw the release date shoved back to this November.

Now the first teaser trailer and a poster have arrived giving us a look at a film that sees dinosaurs and humans living side by side, with the footage showing us how that might have happened (although I’m sure evolutionary scientists would take issue with it, as would creationists, so this may be the first time ever they can find something to agree about).

Here’s the synopsis: ‘”The Good Dinosaur” asks the question: What if the asteroid that forever changed life on Earth missed the planet completely and giant dinosaurs never became extinct? Pixar Animation Studios takes you on an epic journey into the world of dinosaurs where an Apatosaurus named Arlo makes an unlikely human friend. While traveling through a harsh and mysterious landscape, Arlo learns the power of confronting his fears and discovers what he is truly capable of.’

Take a look at the teaser below. [Read more…]

Dwayne Johnson Will Have Big Trouble In Little China In A New Remake

June 2, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

dwayne-johnsonNow here’s a remake that makes sense. While Big Trouble In Little China has a big cult following and a lot of people love it, it’s always been a slightly messy movie where the idea behind it always seemed better than the film itself.

Now a do-over of John Carpenter’s 1986 movie is coming, and TheWrap reports that it’s found a star, as Dwayne Johnson is attached to take over from Kurt Russell in the lead role.

The original follows a truck driver who ends up getting mixed up in a centuries old mystical mystery in San Francisco’s Chinatown, where there are plans to give a two thousand-year-old evil sorcerer a new body.

Ashley Miller and Zack Stentz (X-Men: First Class) will write the script but there’s no news on whether they’re planning any major changes to the plot, or when we might see the new film.

President Snow Gets Smashed In A New The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 2 Poster

June 1, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

mockingjay-part-2-poster1It shouldn’t come as a surprise that in The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 2, Katniss and co. aren’t suddenly going to become massive fans of President Snow, so seeing the statue of him above smashed to pieces isn’t a shock.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘With the nation of Panem in a full scale war, Katniss confronts President Snow (Donald Sutherland) in the final showdown. Teamed with a group of her closest friends – including Gale (Liam Hemsworth), Finnick (Sam Claflin), and Peeta (Josh Hutcherson) – Katniss goes off on a mission with the unit from District 13 as they risk their lives to stage an assassination attempt on President Snow who has become increasingly obsessed with destroying her.

New Ant-Man Poster Makes The Paul Rudd’s Little Hero Big

May 31, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Ant-Man-Poster1With Avengers: Age Of Ultron having already grossed $1.3 billion, Marvel/Disney is already having a great year, and they’ll be hoping for another hit in a couple of months with Ant-Man. Now a new poster has arrived, which you can take a look at above.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘The next evolution of the Marvel Cinematic Universe brings a founding member of The Avengers to the big screen for the first time with Marvel Studios’ “Ant-Man.” Armed with the astonishing ability to shrink in scale but increase in strength, master thief Scott Lang must embrace his inner-hero and help his mentor, Dr. Hank Pym, protect the secret behind his spectacular Ant-Man suit from a new generation of towering threats. Against seemingly insurmountable obstacles, Pym and Lang must plan and pull off a heist that will save the world.

‘Marvel’s “Ant-Man” stars Paul Rudd as Scott Lang aka Ant-Man, Evangeline Lilly as Hope Van Dyne, Corey Stoll as Darren Cross aka Yellowjacket, Bobby Cannavale as Paxton, Michael Peña as Luis, Judy Greer as Maggie, Tip “Ti” Harris as Dave, David Dastmalchian as Kurt, Wood Harris as Gale, Jordi Mollà as Castillo and Michael Douglas as Hank Pym. Directed by Peyton Reed and produced by Kevin Feige, Marvel’s “Ant-Man” delivers a high-stakes, tension-filled adventure on July 17, 2015.’

Channing Tatum May Have Two Kisses for Maddy

May 31, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Channing-TatumChanning Tatum is certainly keen to be master of his own destiny, having produced several of his recent movies and putting several more into development. Now he’s added a new one, Two Kisses for Maddy, which he will produce and which is being put together as a possible starring vehicle.

As Variety reports, the film ‘is based on Matthew Logelin’s memoir “Two Kisses for Maddy: A Memoir of Loss and Love,” which centers on his marriage, the death of his wife 27 hours after she gave birth to their daughter and his experiences of raising his daughter as a single parent.’

Dana Stevens has been hired to write the screenplay.

Interestingly it almost became a Lifetime TV movie of the week a couple of years ago, but may now be getting a bit of an a-list upgrade.

American Ultra Red Band Trailer – Jesse Eisenberg & Kirsten Stewart get into some stoner action

May 28, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

american-ultra-jesse-eisenberg-posterBy all accounts American Ultra is a bit of an unusual movie – part Cheech & Chong and part action thriller – which reteams Adventureland co-stars Jesse Eisenberg and Kristen Stewart.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘“’American Ultra’ is a fast-paced action comedy about Mike (Eisenberg), a seemingly hapless and unmotivated stoner whose small-town life with his live-in girlfriend, Phoebe (Stewart), is suddenly turned upside down. Unbeknownst to him, Mike is actually a highly trained, lethal sleeper agent. In the blink of an eye, as his secret past comes back to haunt him, Mike is thrust into the middle of a deadly government operation and is forced to summon his inner action-hero in order to survive.”

The movie is due out in both the US and UK in August. [Read more…]

Chris Pine Up For Wonder Woman Love Interest Role

May 27, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

chris-pineI’m hoping this doesn’t mean that despite supposedly being about a female superhero, DC is really going to make it just as much about a guy, but Variety reports that Chris Pine is in talks to join Gal Gadot in Wonder Woman.

If he does sign on, he’ll play Wonder Woman’s love interest, Steve Trevor, who, in the comic, crash lands on the Amazons’ home island of Paradise during World War II. Wonder Woman falls for him after she nurses him back to health, and then when he returns to America she follows him – becoming Diana Prince, who in true comic fashion, Steve doesn’t realise is the same person as the hero, Wonder Woman.

Things are likely to be altered for the movie, not least bringing things up to date and tying it into DC’s universe, especially as Wonder Woman will make her first appearance in next year’s Batman Vs. Superman.

It gives Pine the potential of being part of two franchises. While it’s possible he may only be in one DC movie, it may also set his up for a key role in Justice League, as in one of Steve Trevor’s comic incarnations he is one of the main liaisons between the US government, the UN and the heroes, working alongside Amanda Waller. That character will already be part of the DC film universe as Violet Davis is playing her in Suicide Squad.

Wonder Woman is due out June 2017.

Point Break Trailer – Luke Bracey and Edgar Ramirez star in the remake

May 27, 2015 By Tim Isaac 1 Comment

POINT-BREAK-POSTERThe jury is still out on whether there’s any point in remaking Point Break, but we can now get a taste of the film as the trailer has arrived, which you can take a look at below.

Here’s the official synopsis: ‘A young FBI agent, Johnny Utah (Luke Bracey), infiltrates a cunning team of thrill-seeking elite athletes – led by the charismatic Bodhi (Edgar Ramirez). The athletes are suspected of carrying out a spate of crimes in extremely unusual ways.

Deep undercover, and with his life in imminent danger, Utah strives to prove they are the architects of this string of inconceivable crimes.

The film is replete with the most daring athleticism ever seen in a motion picture. These action adventure feats are performed by elite athletes representing the world’s best in class in big-wave surfing, wingsuit flying, sheer-face snowboarding, free rock climbing, and high-speed motorcycling.’

Ericson Core directs, with a January 8th UK release date set. [Read more…]

A Walk In The Woods Trailer – Robert Redford and Nick Nolte go hiking

May 27, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

a-walk-in-the-woods-film-posterRobert Redford’s quest to get Bill Bryson’s wonderful memoir A Walk In The Woods on the screen has been going on for so long that it was originally envisioned as a way to get him to reteam with Paul Newman (and seeing as the screen legend died in 2008, it really has been a long time).

Now though Redford has managed it, starring alongside Nick Nolte, Mary Steenburgen, Kristen Schaal and Emma Thompson, with Ken Kwapis directing.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘In this new comedy adventure, celebrated travel writer, Bill Bryson (Redford), instead of retiring to enjoy his loving and beautiful wife (Emma Thompson), and large and happy family, challenges himself to hike the Appalachian Trail – 2,200 miles of America’s most unspoiled, spectacular and rugged countryside from Georgia to Maine. The peace and tranquility he hopes to find, though, is anything but, once he agrees to being accompanied by the only person he can find willing to join him on the trek – his long lost and former friend Katz (Nolte), a down-on-his-luck serial philanderer who, after a lifetime of relying on his charm and wits to keep one step ahead of the law – sees the trip as a way to sneak out of paying some debts and sneak into one last adventure before its too late. The trouble is, the two have a completely different definition of the word “adventure”. Now they’re about to find out that when you push yourself to the edge, the real fun begins. A Walk in the Woods also co-stars Nick Offerman (22 Jump Street), Kristen Schaal (“The Last Man on Earth”) and Mary Steenburgen (Last Vegas).’

It’s a great book and will hopefully make just as good a film.

The film’s due out in September. [Read more…]
