First Look At Stephen Amell As Casey Jones In Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2

May 3, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

stephen-amell-ninja-turtles-spic1It was only a few weeks ago that Arrow’s Stephen Amell signed up to play Casey Jones in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2, but he’s already on set and donned the characters iconics hockey mask, as proved by the first pic of him, as released by producer Michael Bay on Twitter.

Along with the hockey mask, Casey is carrying a hockey sticks, one of the weapons the vigilante character it known to use as he heads out onto the streets or New York to take on the scum.

Presumably as in the comics he’ll initially seem like a potential adversary for the Turtles, before teaming up with them, and also being a love interest for Megan Fox’s April O’Neil.

The film will arrive in cinemas June 2016.

Channing Tatum Enlists In An All-Gay World For The Forever War

May 3, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Channing-TatumA bidding war broke out last week in Hollywood for the sci-fi movie Forever, which has Channing Tatum attached to star. THR reports that Warner Bros. won out and has snapped up the package, which is based on Joe Haldeman’s 1974 sci-fi war novel.

Prometheus and Passengers screenwriter Jon Spaihts will write the script, about ‘a young man conscripted into a military task force during a war against an alien species named the Taurans. Through many battles, the man rises up the ranks of the military, but traveling through space has time-warping effects, causing him to age normally while Earth spins centuries.

‘The planet undergoes many changes, including humanity’s melding into one homogenous race, the eliminating of heterosexuality and the speaking of a new language. At the same time, the man tries to remain connected to his true love, a fellow (and female) soldier who also uses space-time to slow down her aging so she can be with him.’

Presumably the original book’s tendency to equate totalitarianism with homosexuality will be toned down, and may instead become an interesting role-reversal study, with straight people treated as gay people have been by society, allowing the movie to highlight those issues.

There’s no news on when it might shoot or who’s directing.

April 30, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Fantastic-Four-character-poster-allGone are Ioan Gruffudd, Chris Evans and co. and they’re been replaced by the youthful Miles Teller, Kate Mara, Jamie Bell and Michael B. Jordan. And now to give us a better look some character posters have arrived.

Well, you don’t get to see Jamie Bell, as he’s been turned into the hulking CGI form of The Thing, while Teller is Mr. Fantastic, Jordan the Human Torch and Mara the Invisible Woman.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘FANTASTIC FOUR, a contemporary re-imagining of Marvel’s original and longest-running superhero team, centers on four young outsiders who teleport to an alternate and dangerous universe, which alters their physical form in shocking ways. Their lives irrevocably upended, the team must learn to harness their daunting new abilities and work together to save Earth from a former friend turned enemy.’

Legend Teaser Trailer – Tom Hardy plays both Kray Twins in the upcoming movie

April 30, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

legend-tom-hardy-slideNope, Tom Hardy isn’t starring in a remake of the 1985 Ridley Scott fantasy, as this is something rather different. Instead he’s playing both Reggie and Ronnie Kray, which must have been an interesting acting challenge for considering he’s both of the main characters.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘From Academy Award® winner Brian Helgeland (L.A. Confidential, Mystic River) comes the true story of the rise and fall of London’s most notorious gangsters, Reggie and Ron Kray, both portrayed by Tom Hardy in an incredible performance. LEGEND is a classic crime thriller taking us into the secret history of the 1960s and the extraordinary events that secured the infamy of the Kray Twins.’

What’s not really hinted at in the teaser is that Reggie Kray was bisexual (while some say he exclusively slept with men, he identified as bisexual). He is believed to have been quite open about this even at the height of his gangster exploits. However it’s not clear how the film will handle this.

Emily Browning (Sucker Punch), David Thewlis (The Theory of Everything, The Harry Potter series), Christopher Eccleston (Thor: The Dark World) and Taron Egerton (Kingsman: The Secret Service) also star. Legend is released in cinemas across the UK on September 11th. [Read more…]

Fifty Shades Darker Teaser – Our first look at Jamie Dornan in the sequel?

April 30, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

fifty-shades-darker-movieI’m not 100% convinced by this, but numerous sources are suggesting it’s legit and so we’re posting it!

One of the reasons for being suspicious is that Fifty Shades Darker doesn’t have a director yet, and the February 2017 release date was only announced a few days ago. However after Universal had a huge hit with Fifty Shades Of Grey it’s not too surprising they quickly want to say that more will be coming.

Apparently when it does, it will be pitched as a thriller, according to the Universal top brass. It will further follow the kinky adventures of Jamie Dornan’s Christian Grey and Dakota Johnson’s Anastasia Steele. [Read more…]

Furious 7’s James Wan Wanted For Robotech Adaptation

April 30, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

james-wanJames Wan has had massive success in horror with Saw, Insidious and The Conjuring, but it’s Furious 7 that’s made Hollywood sit up and take notice that this is a guy that can handle a big, tentpole movie. Recently rumours emerged that he’s in contention to direct Aquaman and now Deadline reports that he’s in talks to hRobotech.

Sony Pictures is behind the long-gestating anime adaptation, which is envisioned as a sprawling sci-fi epic. The original animated series takes place at a time when Earth has developed giant robots from the technology on an alien spacecraft that crashed on a South Pacific island.

Mankind is forced to use the technology to fend off three successive waves of alien invasions. The first invasion concerns a battle with a race of giant warriors who seek to retrieve their flagship’s energy source known as “protoculture,” and the planet’s survival ends up in the hands of two young pilots.

The likes of Leonardo DiCaprio and Tobey Maguire have previously been involved in the film, but it doesn’t appear any actors are currently attached.

The Last Witch Hunter Teaser – Vin Diesel & his magnificent beard are on the trail of supernatural evil

April 29, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Vin-Diesel-Last-Witch-HunterVin Diesel has been having huge success in the Fast & Furious series, but outside that his career hasn’t been having many hits. However he’s got high hopes for The Last Witch Hunter, and after months of Vin posting pics and titbits on his Facebook page, a trailer has finally arrived.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘The modern world holds many secrets, but the most astounding secret of all is that witches still live amongst us; vicious supernatural creatures intent on unleashing the Black Death upon the world. Armies of witch hunters battled the unnatural enemy across the globe for centuries, including KAULDER, a valiant warrior who managed to slay the all-powerful QUEEN WITCH, decimating her followers in the process.

‘In the moments right before her death, the QUEEN curses KAULDER with her own immortality, forever separating him from his beloved wife and daughter in the afterlife. Today KAULDER is the only one of his kind remaining, and has spent centuries hunting down rogue witches, all the while yearning for his long-lost loved ones. However, unbeknownst to KAULDER, the QUEEN WITCH is resurrected and seeks revenge on her killer causing an epic battle that will determine the survival of the human race.’

Elijah Wood and Michael Caine co-star, with an October release set. [Read more…]

Irrational Man Trailer – Joaquin Phoenix & Emma Stone star in Woody Allen’s latest

April 29, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

irrational-man-emma-stone-joaquin-phoenixIt’s time for our first look at Woody Allen’s annual movie, and coming off the Oscar-winning triumph of Blue Valentine he’s brining us Irrational Man, which stars Joaquin Phoenix, Emma Stone and Parker Posey.

As always with Allen there aren’t too many details about the movie, but Phoenix will play a philosophy professor who’s suffering from an existential crisis which results in him wondering what the point of life is. However then – and this will be a shock for Allen fans – he meets a younger woman, strikes up a friendship, who changes his life.

It’s not exactly groundbreaking territory for Woody, and as so often in his films, it feels like Joaquin in playing an Allen analogue. Whether it’ll work this time around should become clearer soon as it’s due to premiere at Cannes in mid-May. [Read more…]

Mad Max: Fury Road Gets A Final Trailer – Tom Hardy & co. love post-apocalyptic mayhem

April 29, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

mad-max-fury-road-character-poster1-slideAfter a very, very long wait, it’s just a couple of weeks until we get to see the reinvention of Mad Max, with Tom Hardy taking over the role from Mel Gibson in Fury Road.

To make sure we know this is going to be a film that’s just as nuts as the earlier movie, while ramping up the style and the budget, a final trailer has arrived, which you can watch below.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Oscar-winning filmmaker George Miller’s “Mad Max: Fury Road” revisits his own post-apocalyptic trilogy featuring the anti-hero known as Mad Max. Tom Hardy stars in the role of Max Rockatansky, alongside Charlize Theron, Nicholas Hoult, Zoe Kravitz, Riley Keough, Hugh Keays-Byrne and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley. Miller directed from a screenplay he wrote with Brendan McCarthy and Nico Lathouris. Miller also produces, along with Doug Mitchell and P.J. Voeten. Iain Smith, Graham Burke and Bruce Berman serve as executive producers. “Mad Max: Fury Road” is a Kennedy Miller Mitchell production. The film will be presented by Warner Bros. Pictures, in association with Village Roadshow Pictures. Scheduled for release on May 15, 2015, it will be distributed worldwide by Warner Bros. Pictures, a Warner Bros. Entertainment Company, and in select territories by Village Roadshow Pictures.’ [Read more…]

Jeff Daniels Joins Divergent Series In A Key Role

April 29, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

jeff-danielsJeff Daniels has left The Newsroom behind and following a bit of a hit with Dumb and Dumber To, he’s heading into teen action territory, as he’s signed up to star in the two-part conclusion to the Divergent series, Allegiant, according to THR.

Daniels is taking on a bit of a pivotal role, although if you don’t want to know how he fits into the world of fighting factions who don’t like those who straddle different personality types, you should stop reading now.

He’ll be David, the leader of the Bureau of Genetic Welfare, which set up the system where everyone is sorted into the factions of Abnegation, Erudite, Dauntless, Amity, and Candor. As you may have guessed, their motives in doing this may not have been totally altruistic.

The films will see Tris (Shailene Woodley) on the run and trying to figure out the mystery of the world she was born into. Allegiant: Part 1 will be out March 2016, with Part 2 coming a year later.
