August 29, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

serena-pic1Bradley Cooper and Jennifer Lawrence are set to reunite after American Hustle for Serena, and now the first image from the movie has been released, which feature Lawrence looking very chic and riding a horse.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘North Carolina mountains at the end of the 1920s – George and Serena Pemberton, love-struck newly-weds, begin to build a timber empire. Serena soon proves herself to be equal to any man: overseeing loggers, hunting rattle-snakes, even saving a man’s life in the wilderness. With power and influence now in their hands, the Pembertons refuse to let anyone stand in the way of their inflated love and ambitions. However, once Serena discovers George’s hidden past and faces an unchangeable fate of her own, the Pemberton’s passionate marriage begins to unravel leading toward a dramatic reckoning.’

Sam Reid, Rhys Ifans, Toby Jones and Sean Harris are also set to star in the movie which reaches UK cinemas October 2014.

Charlie Hunnam Sought For Title Role In Guy Ritchie’s King Arthur Movie

August 29, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

charlie-hunnam-slideCharlie Hunnam may have had to step away from the lead role in Fifty Shades Of Grey, however he’s now being lined up for another major movie, with Deadline reporting he’s the top choice for the title role in Guy Ritchie’s Knights of the Roundtable: King Arthur.

Variety adds that Elizabeth Olsen is the frontrunner for the female lead. Idris Elba is already onboard as the knight Bedivere.

Joby Harold (Edge of Tomorrow) wrote the script, which is the first part of a planned six-movie franchise, which presumably will concentrate on different knights surrounding Arthur with each film. There’s still no news on the exact plot and direction the first movie will take.

Warner Bros. has had been trying to make an Arthurian movie for years. Indeed Ritchie was previously attached to a completely different King Arthur movie, which was written by John Hodge (Trainspotting). Another project, Arthur & Lancelot, even got to the point where Kit Harington (Game of Thrones) and Joel Kinnaman (The Killing) had been hired for the lead roles and the sets were ready to be built. However the studio backed out just a few weeks before production was due to begin. Hopefully they won’t get cold feet with this version.

Trash Trailer – First look at Rooney Mara & Martin Sheen in Stephen Daldry’s movie

August 27, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

trash-poster-slideBilly Elliot, The Reader and The Hours director Stephen Daldry returns with Trash this winter, which looks like it’s bidding to be this year’s Slumdog Millionaire.

Now we can take a look at the movie as the first trailer for the movie has arrived.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘When two trash-picking boys from Rio’s slums find a wallet in amongst the daily detritus of their local dump, little do they imagine that their lives are about to change forever. But when the local police show up, offering a handsome reward for the wallet’s return, the boys, Rafael (RICKSON TEVEZ) and Gardo (LUIS EDUARDO), realise that what they’ve found must be important. Teaming up with their friend Rato (GABRIEL WEINSTEIN), the trio begins an extraordinary adventure as they try to hang onto the wallet, evade the police, and uncover the secrets it contains.

‘Along the way, the boys will have to figure out friend from foe, as they piece together the story of the wallet’s owner José angelo (WAGNER MOURA) and realise they can’t trust the police, led by the dangerous Frederico (SELTON MELLO). But a pair of American missionaries working in their favela – the disillusioned Father Julliard (MARTIN SHEEN) and his young assistant Olivia (ROONEY MARA) – might just have the power to knock on the right doors. Trash is directed by STEPHEN DALDRY and written by RICHARD CURTIS based on the book by ANDY MULLIGAN.’

A January 30th 2015 release is set. [Read more…]

Joss Whedon Plays Air Bow Opposite Jeremy Renner In New Avengers 2 Pic

August 27, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Avengers-Age-of-Ultron-pic1A new pic from the set of Avengers: Age Of Ulton has emerged, which suggests Jeremy Renner’s Hawkeye isn’t quite the bowmaster he appears on screen, as he’s getting a few tips from director Joss Whedon. The image arrived via Empire (along with a couple we’ve seen before).

The new Avengers movie revolves around tech called Ultron that Tony Stark has built to protect the world when the superheroes aren’t around (perhaps taking the place of the now semi-defunct S.H.I.E.L.D.). However creating artificially intelligent robots have rarely been a good idea in the movies, and so soon Ultron has turned on his creator and sends Stark’s army of drones to get rid of the planet’s number one problem – human beings.

The film is due out May 2015.

Jamie Dornan Up For The 9th Life of Louis Drax

August 27, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

fifty-shades-pic1Hollywood obviously thinks Fifty Shades Of Grey has the potential to turn Jamie Dornan into a big star, as the Irish actor is already booking new roles, with Miramax announcing  Dornan will star in the Alexandre Aja (Horns, The Hills Have Eyes) directed movie, The 9th Life of Louis Drax.

Max Minghella, who’s best known as an actor (The Internship, The Social Network), makes his screenwriting debut. It’s not too surprising he’s good with words as he is the son of Oscar-winning writer/director Anthony Minghella. Indeed when the film rights were purchased back in 2004, it was the plan for the English Patient and Talented Mr. Ripley helmer to adapt it himself. Sadly Anthony died in 2008 and Max has now taken over.

The movie is based on Liz Jensen’s best-selling novel of the same title which, ‘begins on Louis Drax’s 9th birthday, when he suffers a near-fatal fall. In order to reveal the strange circumstances surrounding the young boy’s accident – Dr. Allan Pascal (Jamie Dornan) is drawn into a thrilling mystery, testing the boundaries of fantasy and reality.’

Aja comments, “Max’s script takes us on a very emotional journey through the deep recesses of the mind and on a suspenseful Hitchcockian ride. I was drawn to the poignant family drama and the supernatural elements, and am excited to bring this rich and complex story to life.”

Filming will commence this October in Vancouver, Canada.

Tom Hanks & Ron Howard Head For Dan Brown’s Inferno Next April

August 27, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

tom-hanks-angels-and-demonsLast year Tom Hanks and Ron Howards loosely agreed to reteam for their third adaptation of one of Dan Brown’s Robert Langdon novels. While a film version of The Lost Symbol had defeated them (it’s believed the logistics of shooting in and around some of Washington DC’s most famous landmarks proved too difficult), they thought Inferno might be able to make it to the screen.

Now it seems it’s coming to fruition, as Deadline reports that the film is due to start production next April.

In Inferno, symbologist Robert Langdon once more get thrust into the heart of a mystery, this time revolving around medieval poet Dante Alghieri. However to make things a little more complicated Langdon wakes up in an Italian hospital with amnesia. He has no idea what’s going on but it soon becomes clear it has something to do with a global plague, as well as artefacts to do with Dante.

A December 18th, 2015 release has already been set.

James Ellroy Takes On Remake Of Classic Noir Laura

August 27, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

laura-otto-premingerJames Ellroy has long loved the world of film noir and hardboiled literature with his novels such as LA Confidential and The Black Dahlia. Now he’s heading directly into the noir world of the 40s as he has signed up to script a remake of the 1944 classic, Laura, according to THR.

Gene Tierney, Dana Andrews, Clifton Webb and Vincent Price starred in Otto Preminger’s 1944 original, which is about a detective investigating a murder. As he finds out more about the dead women he ends up falling in love with her. However things with Laura aren’t quite what his investigation initially seems to suggest.

The movie was nominated for five Oscars, winning for Best Cinematography. At the moment no director is attached to the remake, and there’s no info on when the film might shoot.

Chris Hemsworth & Charlie Day Heading Off On Vacation

August 26, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Chris-HemsworthEven though it has seemed close to going into production, back in April 2013 New Line put an indefinite delay on its long-planned reboot of the Vacation franchise. However now it seems it’s getting back on track, with THR reporting that Chris Hemsworth and Charlie Day are in talks to star.

Ed Helms is still onboard to play Rusty Griswold, the adult son of Chevy Chase’s Clark Griswold from the original Vacation movies. As you might expect, the new film involves another vacation, this time involving Rusty and his wife (Christina Applegate).

Hemsworth will apparently play the boyfriend of Rusty’s sister Audrey, with Charlie Day as a river raft touring guide.

Last year both Chevy Chase and Beverly D’Angelo were both signed on to reprise their roles as the older Griswolds, but it’s not clear if they’re still involved.

It seems the film will start shooting fairly soon, with Hemsworth squeezing it in between Avengers: Age Of Ultron and The Huntsman, which is due to start shooting in early 2015.

John Francis Daley and Jonathan M. Goldstein are set to direct, working from their own script.

First Images Of David Oyelowo As Martin Luther King Jr. In Selma Released

August 25, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

selma-pic1Hollywood likes to think of itself as very liberal, but while it likes to nibble around the edges of race relations in the US, any film that wants to tackle important aspects of the Civil Rights struggle faces a massive uphill battle to get funding.

That’s certainly true of Selma, which tells the story of one of the key moments in the fight for racial equality in America. Before making it to the screen it had massive problems getting cash, even when director Lee Daniels came onboard and lined up a star-filled cast .

In the end that version fell through and Daniels moved on, but thankfully it came back together under the direction of Ava DuVernay. Now the first images from the movie have been released, which you can see above and below.

The film focuses on the three marches that took place in Selma, Alabama in 1965. The first march planned to go from Selma to the State Capital, Montgomery, but was stopped after only six blocks by police and state troopers after Governor Wallace decided it was a threat to public safety (Wallace hated anything pro-desegregation and was one of the most powerful, vitriolic and visible forces against the civil rights movement). Protesters were them clubbed, gassed and whipped, with the TV footage of the violence shocking the US and galvanising support for civil rights.

A second, symbolic march took place two days later, led by Martin Luther King Jr. (David Oyelowo), which only went as far as the bridge where the previous protesters were stopped, because a court injunction prevented them going all the way to Montgomery. A week later the injunction was lifted and a third march set out, this time making it all the way to the state capital.

It was these marches and the public horror at the beatings of demonstrators that spurred Congress to start drafting laws that ended up with the Voting Rights Act, which for the first time explicitly gave African-Americans the right to vote.

In the pic above Oyelowo is joined by Carmen Ejogo as Coretta Scott King, while the image below features Tessa Thompson as Diane Nash, Omar Dorsey as James Orange, Colman Domingo as Ralph Abernathy, Oyelowo as King, André Holland as Andrew Young, Corey Reynolds as Rev. C.T. Vivian, and Lorraine Toussaint as Amelia Boynton.

An Oscar-bait Christmas US release in planned, with the film reaching the UK February 2015.
