Ethan and team take on their most impossible mission yet, eradicating the Syndicate, an International rogue organization, as highly skilled as they are, committed to destroying the IMF.

Joseph Gordon-Levitt Takes On A Live-Action Fraggle Rock Movie

March 19, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

joseph-gordon-levittFor over a decade now there’s been talk of a live-action Fraggle Rock movie, but despite a lot of talk it’s never actually seemed close to happening. However sometimes it needs the clout of a big name to get things happening, and hopefully that’ll happen now as Variety reports that Joseph Gordon-Levitt has signed up to produce and star.

Gordon-Levitt says, “The first screen personas I ever loved were Henson creations, first on ‘Sesame Street,’ and then on ‘Fraggle Rock. Jim Henson’s characters make you laugh and sing, but they’re also layered, surprising, and wise. From Oscar the Grouch, to Yoda, to the Fraggles. I’ve never stopped loving his work, even as a young frisky man, and on into adulthood. Collaborating with Lisa Henson makes me confident we can do something that Jim would have loved. I’m grateful and excited to be working with New Regency on this project.”

There’s not too much info other than that, such as who might direct and whether they’re bringing on new writers, or indeed when we might get to see the movie. There’s also no info about who Joseph might play, or indeed whether he’ll voice a Fraggle or be a live-action character.

Hopefully though the addition of Gordon-Levitt means the film will actually go somewhere this time.

First Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 2 Poster & Teaser Revealed

March 18, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Hunger-Games-Mockingjay-Part-2-poster1The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1 may have only just arrived on DVD, but Lionsgate is already thinking to the future and the release of the final film in the series later this year.

They’ve now released the first poster and teaser/logo for the film (via EW), and it probably won’t be a shock to find that it’s reminiscent of a lot of the earlier films, with an image of a Mockingjay, but taken from a slightly different angle.

It’s a good reminder though – as if we needed it – that later this year we’ll be able to see what happens to Katniss and her allies as they go up against the evil Capitol in a final showdown.

Mockingjay Part 2 will be in cinema November 20th. [Read more…]

First Look At Steven Spielberg’s Bridge Of Spies Starring Tom Hanks

March 18, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

bridge-of-spies-pic1Hurrah, it’s finally got a name! Even since it was first announced, Steven Spielberg’s next move has been going by the less than catchy name, ‘Untitled Steven Spieberg Cold War Thriller’, but that’s changed as the first official image from the movie has been released along with the info that it will be called Bridge Of Spies.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘A dramatic thriller set against the backdrop of a series of historic events, “Bridge of Spies” tells the story of James Donovan (Hanks), a Brooklyn lawyer who finds himself thrust into the center of the Cold War when the CIA sends him on the near-impossible task to negotiate the release of a captured American U-2 pilot.

‘Screenwriters Matt Charman and Ethan Coen & Joel Coen have woven this remarkable experience in Donovan’s life into a story inspired by true events that captures the essence of a man who risked everything and vividly brings his personal journey to life.’

The film will be released in cinemas on 9th October, 2015, in UK and Ireland.

BFI Flare London LGBT Film Festival Spin-off Will Become First Global Digital Gay Film Fest

March 18, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Morning Is Broken Short Film

The BFI Flare London LGBT Film Festival kicks off tomorrow with the gala premiere of James Franco and Zachary Quinto in I Am Michael. However there are plans to ensure that things aren’t just limited to London, as the BFi ‘fiveFilms4freedom‘ will become the world’s first digital, global, LGBT film festival.

The British Council, the UK’s international organisation for cultural relations and educational opportunities has announced that five short films from BFI Flare will be available to audiences around the world for the first time through BFI player, the British Film Institute’s online video service.

On Wednesday 25 March, fiveFilms4freedom will become a 24-hour campaign asking people everywhere to watch a film together over the course of one single day, and will be promoted through the British Council’s network in more than 50 countries and regions including across the Americas, China, India, Israel, Kosovo, Poland, Turkey, Ukraine and the Middle East. The idea is that this will be a chance for audiences, wherever they are, to enjoy a taster of LGBT cinema; to find out a little bit more about emerging LGBT filmmakers from around the world; and to show support for freedom and equality everywhere. fiveFilms4freedom is produced in partnership with Stonewall, the lesbian, gay, bisexual and trans equality charity.

The five films represent a cross section of contemporary LGBT short film. The films are made by lesbians, gay men and transgender filmmakers, and range from sweet short stories about first love to documenting activism. They are polished, rough, funny, sad and inspiring and each has a different voice. The films are:

  • An Afternoon (En Eftermiddag) Director Søren Green’s new short film is a sensitive exploration of nascent sexuality. Mathias and Frederik are two friends who spend an afternoon together; Mathias has decided that this is the time to tell Frederik that he is in love with him.
  • Chance Jake Graf’s self-funded short film premieres at BFI Flare. It focuses on older gay love and overcoming loneliness as a chance encounter between Trevor and a mysterious stranger equally troubled by his own past, forces both men to start to live again
  • Code Academy Canadian writer and director Nisha Ganatra is best known as Producer/Director of Transparent, the Golden Globe-winning TV series. In Code Academy, Frankie masquerades as a boy in futuristic cyberspace to get the girl of her dreams.
  • Morning Is Broken Director and writer Simon Anderson’s 2014 film is a beautifully shot coming-of-age drama set in the lush English countryside, following a young man’s struggle to come to terms with his sexuality at the end of his older brother’s wedding.
  • True Wheel Director Nora Mandray’s 2015 documentary focuses on Fender Bender, an inspirational bicycle workshop for queer, transgender and women’s communities in Detroit.

Alan Gemmell, Director fiveFilms4freedom, British Council comments,  “fiveFilms4freedom is a ground-breaking LGBT film festival supporting freedom and equality all over the world and showcasing some of our finest short filmmakers.  By bringing together the British Council and films from BFI Flare we are promoting LGBT cinema in countries that make up fifty percent of the world’s population.  On 25 March we are asking the world to watch a movie together and show that love is a basic human right.”

BFI Flare London LGBT Film Festival runs from 19-29 March 2015, and will also attempt go beyond London’s borders not just with fiveFilms4freedom, but also by offering other gay-themed films to British audiences via BFI player, while some of the movies from Flare will screen at select cinemas around the country.

LGBT Film Vámonos Seeks Funding By Asking What Clothes People Want To Be Buried In

March 18, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

vamanos-film-slideA new LGBT-themed movie is in the works and seeking donations, Vámonos, which takes on the interesting and underexplored area of misgendering, not just of trans people but of gay people too, and it’s looking at it through the lens of what clothes people are buried in.

It’s an issue that has raised its heads numerous times in recent years, particularly after the death of trans people, when their family chooses to bury them dressed as the sex they were assigned at birth rather than the one they lived as.

Vámonos ‘is a funny, touching, personal story about Hope, a gay latina that is mourning the death of her butch girlfriend, Mac. When Hope learns that Mac’s mother plans on burying her in a dress, Hope and her friends realize they must take matters into their own hands.’

The movie is seeking donations through its website and has also released an interesting short film, which asks people what clothes they would like to be buried in. You can take a look at it below.

“We just created this video asking various people what outfit they want to be buried in after they die to bring to light an issue within the LGBT community,” Director Marvin Bryan Lemus told Huffpo. “Some butch-identified women and trans men and women often are buried in clothes that doesn’t represent their identity because of family who either are unaware of the distinctions or whose religious beliefs lead them to turn a blind eye to the importance of one’s identity.” [Read more…]
