Brandon Routh Gets Suited Up As A Costumed Atom In Our First Look At Him In Arrow

February 3, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

arrow-brandon-routh-atom Brandon Routh is getting his superhero on again as Atom in Arrow. While we’ve seen his character, Ray Palmer, in earlier episodes, he’s not actually donning the Atom suit until episode 15 of Season 3. However to give us our first taste a great picture of him in costume has been released.

It may not be Superman, but he’s looking pretty good.

Little is known about how this character will fit into the show. He could be teaming up with Arrow and co., or possibly he’ll be a vigilante on his own. It’s also rumoured that along with Arrow and Flash, the CW Network is planning an Atom show.

That possible spin-off is still in the early stages, but if fans respond to Routh’s heroics in the coming weeks, expect to see a lot more of him in his own show.

Channing Tatum Wants You To Look At His Crotch In The First Magic Mike XXL Poster

February 3, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Magic-Mike-XXL-poster1Channing Tatum and the other stripper boys are back this summer with Magic Mike XXL, and now the first poster is here, inviting us to take a long, hard look at Tatum’s crotch, which offers all the information.

We’ve also now got the best synopsis yet, for what Tatum has described as being a road trip movie. Here it is: ‘“Magic Mike” stars Channing Tatum, Matt Bomer, Joe Manganiello, Kevin Nash, Adam Rodriguez and Gabriel Iglesias are reuniting for the hotly anticipated sequel “Magic Mike XXL”. Joining the returning cast, in brand new roles, will be Elizabeth Banks (“The Hunger Games” franchise), Donald Glover (“Community”), Amber Heard (“The Rum Diary”), Andie MacDowell (“Footloose”), Jada Pinkett Smith (“Gotham”) and Michael Strahan (“Live with Kelly and Michael”).

‘The new film will be directed and produced by Emmy Award winner Gregory Jacobs (“Behind the Candelabra”), who served as a producer on “Magic Mike,” as well as numerous features in a long-running collaboration with Steven Soderbergh. “Magic Mike XXL” also reunites “Magic Mike” producers Nick Wechsler, Channing Tatum and Reid Carolin, with a screenplay by Carolin. Steven Soderbergh, who directed the first film, will executive produce.

‘Picking up the story three years after Mike bowed out of the stripper life at the top of his game, “Magic Mike XXL” finds the remaining Kings of Tampa likewise ready to throw in the towel. But they want to do it their way: burning down the house in one last blow-out performance in Myrtle Beach, and with legendary headliner Magic Mike sharing the spotlight with them. On the road to their final show, with whistle stops in Jacksonville and Savannah to renew old acquaintances and make new friends, Mike and the guys learn some new moves and shake off the past in surprising ways.’

Hopefully the arrival of a poster means a trailer is on its way. It’s due in UK cinemas July 31st.

Charlie Hunnam Going To Lost City of Z With Robert Pattinson

February 3, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

charlie-hunnam-slideIt’s taking a while to get the cast of Lost City Of Z cast together. A few months ago Robert Pattinson and Sienna Miller came onboard, joining Benedict Cumberbatch. However the Sherlock star’s Doctor Strange commitments have cause him to drop out and so he’s now being replaced by Charlie Hunnam, according to Variety.

The film will be directed by James Gray, based on David Grann’s book about doomed Amazon explorer Colonel Percy Harrison Fawcett (Hunnam).

Here’s a few more details about the book: ‘In 1925, Fawcett ventured into the Amazon to find an ancient civilization, hoping to make one of the most important discoveries in history. For centuries Europeans believed the world’s largest jungle concealed the glittering kingdom of El Dorado. Thousands had died looking for it, leaving many scientists convinced that the Amazon was truly inimical to humankind. But Fawcett, whose daring expeditions helped inspire Conan Doyle’s The Lost World, had spent years building his scientific case. Captivating the imagination of millions around the globe, Fawcett embarked with his twenty-one-year-old son, determined to prove that this ancient civilization—which he dubbed “Z”—existed. Then he and his expedition vanished.’

The movie should shoot later this year.

Felicity Jones Gets Star Wars Spinoff Role, With Aaron Paul Looked At For Male Lead

February 3, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

felicity-jonesLast week we reported that the likes of Felicity Jones (The Theory of Everything), Rooney Mara (Pan) and Tatiana Maslany (Orphan Black) were testing for the female lead in the Star Wars spin-off film that Gareth Edwards is directing.

Well now that’s been wittled down to one as THR reports it’s Felicity Jones who’s in talks for the role. They also suggest that the search is now on for the male lead, with Aaron Paul and Edgar Ramirez amongst those being looked at.

Unfortunately there’s still no info on who she Jones might be playing, or indeed what the movie will be about. Rumours have ranged from it being an origin story for Boba Fett to the tale of a young Han Solo when he was mixed up with a group of space pirates. As for the female lead, some are suggesting it will be Sabine Wren, a Mandalorian weapons expert and graffiti artist seen in the TV series, Star Wars Rebels.

Hopefully we’ll have more info soon.

Lost River Trailer – Best look yet at Ryan Gosling’s directorial debut

February 3, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

lost-river-matt-smithLost River looks like an intriguing and somewhat strange movie, which isn’t too surprising for what is Ryan Gosling’s directorial debut. There’s still a lot of people who are keen to see it, even if it’s been getting rather mixed reports from film festivals.

Now the first proper trailer has arrived, so we can take a look at what all the fuss is about.

The film has been described as being ‘Set against the surreal dreamscape of a vanishing city, BILLY, a single mother of two, is swept into a macabre and dark fantasy underworld while BONES, her eighteen-year-old son, discovers a secret road leading to an underwater town. Both Billy and Bones must dive deep into the mystery, if their family is to survive.’

It’s all a little peculiar, but the likes of Christina Hendricks, Iain De Caestecker, Eva Mendes, Saoirse Ronan and Matt Smith certainly seem to be having fun with it.

Lost River will reach the US on April 10th and the UK on April 24th. [Read more…]

New Minions Trailer – The little yellow ones have a movie of their own

February 3, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Minions_OneSheet_UKWithout the Minions, there’s a good chance Despicable Me wouldn’t have been the hit it was. If nothing else they’ve been a massive merchandising bonanza, so it’s not too much of a shock that the small, yellow oblongs are getting their own film.

Now a new trailer has arrived which you can take a look at below.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘The story of Universal Pictures and Illumination Entertainment’sMinionsbegins at the dawn of time. Starting as single-celled yellow organisms, Minions evolve through the ages, perpetually serving the most despicable of masters. Continuously unsuccessful at keeping these masters – from T. rex to Napoleon – the Minions find themselves without someone to serve and fall into a deep depression.

‘But one Minion named Kevin has a plan, and he – alongside teenage rebel Stuart and lovable little Bob – ventures out into the world to find a new evil boss for his brethren to follow.

‘The trio embarks upon a thrilling journey that ultimately leads them to their next potential master, Scarlet Overkill (Academy Award®winner Sandra Bullock), the world’s first-ever female super-villain. They travel from frigid Antarctica to 1960s New York City, ending in mod London, where they must face their biggest challenge to date: saving all of Minionkind…from annihilation.

‘Featuring a soundtrack of hit music from the ’60s that still permeates our culture today,Minionsis produced by Illumination’s Chris Meledandri and Janet Healy, and is directed by Pierre Coffin and Kyle Balda. Brian Lynch has written the screenplay for the 3D-CG comedy adventure, and Chris Renaud serves as executive producer of the film.’

The movie is due out June 2015.

Movie Super Bowl Spot Round-Up – Fifty Shades, Minions, Ted 2 & Pitch Perfect 2

February 2, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

fifty-shades-trailer2-jamie-dornan-shirtlessWhile there aren’t as many massive movie Super Bowl spots as there used to be, it’s still a popular way for Hollywood to show off their upcoming wares. We’ve already posted spots for Terminator Genisys, Jurassic World, Fast & Furious 7, Inside Out and Tomorrowland, but that wasn’t all.

So take a look below for the spots for Fifty Shades, Minions, Ted 2 & Pitch Perfect 2. The Ted 2 one is the most football related, as it features Patriots player Tom Brady meeting Mark Wahlberg and the tititual teddy, while he’s in bed.

Fifty Shades wants to know whether you’re curious, Pitch Perfect 2 is showing off the music and Minions is as small and yellow as you’d expect. It’s certainly looking like a busy year at the cinema. [Read more…]

Inside Out ‘Puppy Bowl’ Spot – Pixar has a different take on Super Bowl commercials

February 2, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Inside-Out-pic1-slideNow everyone is interested in sports, but if it was puppies playing, perhaps even they would be drawn in. In Pixar’s take on a Super Bowl spot they introduce us to the Puppy Bowl, where little doggies are in competition.

It’s a great way of showing us the film’s premise, which turns the emotions of a young girl into characters inside her mind. Take a look below.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘From an adventurous balloon ride above the clouds to a monster-filled metropolis, Academy Award®-winning director Pete Docter (“Monsters, Inc.,” “Up”) has taken audiences to unique and imaginative places. In Disney•Pixar’s original movie “ Inside Out,” he will take us to the most extraordinary location of all—inside the mind.

‘Growing up can be a bumpy road, and it’s no exception for Riley, who is uprooted from her Midwest life when her father starts a new job in San Francisco. Like all of us, Riley is guided by her emotions – Joy (Amy Poehler), Fear (Bill Hader), Anger (Lewis Black), Disgust (Mindy Kaling) and Sadness (Phyllis Smith). The emotions live in Headquarters, the control center inside Riley’s mind, where they help advise her through everyday life. As Riley and her emotions struggle to adjust to a new life in San Francisco, turmoil ensues in Headquarters. Although Joy, Riley’s main and most important emotion, tries to keep things positive, the emotions conflict on how best to navigate a new city, house and school.’

It’ll be in US cinemas in June and the UK in July, 2015. [Read more…]

Fast & Furious 7 Super Bowl Spot – Car chases and explosions, what did you expect?

February 2, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Furious-7-poster1It’s not often they include the moment where a franchise may have completely jumped the shark in a trailer, but they may have done so with the Super Bowl spot for Fast & Furious 7 (known simply as Furious 7 in the US).

Two cars speed up in to bumper to bumper collision. Both drivers presumable survive but the impact is apparently so enormous that it blows out all the windows in the plate glass building behind them. Someone needs to give the filmmakers a quick lesson in physics.

But then, the franchise has never been that sensible, and just to ensure we don’t think this is going to be even vaguely realistic, there’s also a car jumping from skyscraper to skyscraper tens of stories up.

I do kind of wonder whether moving even further from a vague sense of reality is deliberate, as the film was always going to have difficulties if viewers felt even vague echoes of Paul Walker’s untimely death in a fiery car wreck, and so shifting further toward fantasy does make sense on that score.

Some will love it, but personally I can’t believe I just saw that. [Read more…]

Tomorrowland Super Bowl Spot – George Clooney is getting futuristic

February 2, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

tomorrowland-teaser-posterWhile the summer movie season is always jam-packed with sequels and properties that are already well-known, there are always a couple of big movies that don’t have a built in audience trying to hit it big. Tomorrowland is one of those for 2015, as despite being named after a section of Disneyland, it’s a completely original story.

Indeed, many believe Disney’s hope is that if the film is successful it will help that section of the park and spark a complete revamp, rather than the other way around.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘‘From Disney comes two-time Oscar® winner Brad Bird’s riveting, mystery adventure “Tomorrowland,” starring Academy Award® winner George Clooney. Bound by a shared destiny, former boy-genius Frank (Clooney), jaded by disillusionment, and Casey (Britt Robertson), a bright, optimistic teen bursting with scientific curiosity, embark on a danger-filled mission to unearth the secrets of an enigmatic place somewhere in time and space known only as “Tomorrowland.” What they must do there changes the world—and them—forever.’

The film is due out May 2015. [Read more…]
