I think Marvel are keen for us to know that Avengers: Age Of Ultron won’t be short on action, as they’ve released a trailer that seems to want to suggest the Battle Of New York was a bit wimpy compared to what they have in store.

You can take a look at it before, along with new character banners for Captain America and Hawkeye above (you can see the other recent character banners for the movie here and here).

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Marvel Studios presents “Avengers: Age of Ultron,” the epic follow-up to the biggest Super Hero movie of all time. When Tony Stark tries to jumpstart a dormant peacekeeping program, things go awry and Earth’s Mightiest Heroes, including Iron Man, Captain America, Thor, The Incredible Hulk, Black Widow and Hawkeye, are put to the ultimate test as the fate of the planet hangs in the balance. As the villainous Ultron emerges, it is up to The Avengers to stop him from enacting his terrible plans, and soon uneasy alliances and unexpected action pave the way for an epic and unique global adventure.

Marvel’s “Avengers: Age of Ultron” stars Robert Downey Jr., who returns as Iron Man, along with Chris Evans as Captain America, Chris Hemsworth as Thor and Mark Ruffalo as The Hulk. Together with Scarlett Johansson as Black Widow and Jeremy Renner as Hawkeye, and with the additional support of Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury and Cobie Smulders as Agent Maria Hill, the team must reassemble to defeat James Spader as Ultron, a terrifying technological villain hell-bent on human extinction. Along the way, they confront two mysterious and powerful newcomers, Wanda Maximoff, played by Elizabeth Olsen, and Pietro Maximoff, played by Aaron Taylor-Johnson, and meet an old friend in a new form when Paul Bettany becomes Vision. Written and directed by Joss Whedon and produced by Kevin Feige, Marvel’s “Avengers: Age of Ultron” is based on the ever-popular Marvel comic book series “The Avengers,” first published in 1963. Get set for an action-packed thrill ride when The Avengers return in Marvel’s “Avengers: Age of Ultron” on April 23rd, 2015.’ [Read more…]

Self/Less Trailer – Ben Kingsley takes over Ryan Reynolds’ body

March 4, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

selfless-posterI’m sure there are a few people out there who wouldn’t mind waking up as Ryan Reynolds tomorrow, but it looks like Ben Kingsley is actually going to do it in Self/Less, and if you want to see how, take a look at the trailer below.

Based on an script by Alex and David Pastor (who wrote and directed the 2009 horror Carriers), the film is about a wealthy old man (Kingsley) who pays to have his mind transplanted into a younger body (Reynolds) after he realises that is dying. In a very bad turn of luck, he soon realises that the body he’s taken over is a murder victim, and the body’s killers aren’t happy to see him walking around again. The hero is then forced to go on the run and work out who’s trying to kill him.

Tarsem Singh directs the film, which should be out later this year. [Read more…]

Jessie Usher To Lead Independence Day Sequel, With Liam Hemsworth & Jeff Goldblum Confirmed To Co-Star

March 4, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

jessie-usherWith a confirmed 2016 release date and Fox planning to shoot in a few months time, the sequel to Independence Day needs to firm up its cast pretty quickly, and it looks like it’s doing just that, as on his Facebook page director Roland Emmerich has revealed Jessie User will take the lead role.

Usher isn’t a particularly well known name, but he’s appeared in Survivor’s Remorse and When The Game Stands Tall, among other roles.

In the Independence Day sequel he’ll play the son of Will Smith’s character from the first movie, who’s now all grown and ready to take on the alien threat himself.

Emmerich also confirmed that Liam Hemsworth, who was recently reported to be in talks for the film, will indeed be part of the cast, and that Jeff Goldblum is set to return for the follow up.

The movie is due out June 24th, 2016.

Steven Spielberg & Jennifer Lawrence Team For War Photographer Memoir It’s What I Do

March 4, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

jennifer-lawrenceSteven Spielberg & Jennifer Lawrence seem like a bit of a dream team, and now it’s happening as Deadline reports that they’re getting together for It’s What I Do, based on the memoir by Lynsey Addario.

Warner Bros. picked up the rights for the due following a whirlwind auction that saw numerous studios and production companies in the mix – many of which had other hot actresses attached. Working Title wanted it for Reese Witherspoon, Darren Aronofsky & Natalie Portman were circling, and Margot Robbie was after it too, while The Weinstein Company was bidding for George Clooney and Grant Heslov. Addario herself met with all the interested parties before Warners, Spielberg and Lawrence landed it.

The subject ‘is a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist who went to Afghanistan during the post-9/11 invasion of Afghanistan and carved out a niche giving an identity to the victims of conflict. That includes how Afghans suffered during the Taliban regime, the Iraqi War, victims of genocide in Darfur, the rape of women in the Congo. Her work in dangerous locales included her being kidnapped by pro-Quaddafi forces in the Libyan civil war.’

It’s not clear when the movie might shoot.

Drew Goddard To Direct Revamped Spider-man Standalone Movie

March 2, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

spider-manIt’s a few weeks since Marvel & Sony announced they were teaming up to bring Spider-man into the ever-expanding Marvel superhero universe. They revealed Spidey would show up in Captain America: Civil War, and would then go on to his own standalone movie, but it would be done in revamped form with a new actor in the webslinging role.

However what there was no mention of was whether Drew Goddard (The Cabin In The Woods, Cloverfield, World War Z) was suddenly out of the picture. He was set to direct Sony’s planned Sinister Six spin-off, which was put on indefinite hold by the Marvel news. However the studio must have liked what he was doing, as THR says he’s now in talks to write and direct to new Spider-man film.

There’s no news on the direction the film will take the character, but Sony has retained creative control over Spidey despite the Marvel tie-up. The movie is due in cinemas July 2017.

Jamie Dornian Will Turn Anthropoid With Cillian Murphy In A WWII Flick

March 2, 2015 By Tim Isaac 1 Comment

fifty-shades-trailer2-jamie-dornan-shirtlessFollowing his star-making turn in Fifty Shades Of Grey, Jamie Dornan is heading to war for Anthopoid, Variety reports that he’ll co-star with Cillian Murphy in the movie, with Sean Ellis writing and directing.

The movie ‘is about an assassination attempt on Reinhard Heydrich, an SS general who led the Nazi forces in Czechoslovakia, and gained the nickname “The Butcher of Prague.” Two soldiers from Czechoslovakia’s army in exile are trained by British forces, and parachuted into their homeland with the assignment, code-named Anthropoid, to kill Heydrich.’

It’s not clear when the movie will shoot, but Dornan will fit it in inbetween sequels Fifty Shades sequels.

It is oddly interesting that Ellis has cast two Irishmen to play Czechs being trained by the Brits, but perhaps Ireland and Czechoslovakia are more similar than you might think.

Jack Huston In Talks To Be The New Crow

February 27, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

jack-hustonHave you been attached to play The Crow in the planned reboot of the franchise? Don’t worry, it’ll be your turn soon as they’re going to run out of actors if it keeps going like this.

The likes of Mark Wahlberg, Bradley Cooper, Luke Evans, James McAvoy and Tom Hiddleston and Channing Tatum are just a few of the actors who’ve been attached or rumoured for the movie in the past few years, and now we’ve got another to add to the list, as Deadline reports that Jack Huston is in talks for the film.

It appears they’re betting on Huston becoming a much bigger name in the next year or so, on the assumption that his major roles in Ben-Hur, The Longest Ride and Pride And Prejudice And Zombies turn him into a bona fide star.

There’s also been a bit of a revolving door of directors, but Corin Hardy is currently is the man behind the camera. Brandon Lee starred in director Alex Proyas’ 1994 original film The Crow, based on James O’Barr’s comic book series.

Denis Villeneuve To Direct Blade Runner Sequel, With Harrison Ford Confirmed To Star

February 27, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

blade-runnerFor quite a while now Ridley Scott has been developing a sequel to Blade Runner and Harrison Ford has indicated he’s potentially be interested in starring – if the script was good enough. It seems it must be, as Deadline reports that he’s now officially set to star.

While initially Ridley was thinking about directing himself, he’s since stepped aside and it looks like they’ve found his replacement. Denis Villeneuve, the man behind Prisoners and Incendies, is in talks to help the movie.

Andrew A. Kosove and Broderick Johnson from Alcon Entertainment, which owns the rights to Blade Runner, comment, “We are honored that Harrison is joining us on this journey with Denis Villeneuve, who is a singular talent, as we experienced personally on Prisoners. Hampton and Michael, with Ridley Scott, have crafted a uniquely potent and faithful sequel to one of the most universally celebrated films of all time, and we couldn’t be more thrilled with this amazing, creative team.”

Little is known about the plot, although it is known that it will feature Rick Deckard decades after the events of the first movie.
