New The Guest Trailer – Dan Stevens may be the world’s sexiest home invader

August 6, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

The-Guest-pic1Dan Stevens may be the bad guy in The Guest, but boy is he looking good. Indeed, if I had to have a a possible killer in my house, at least he’d make a pretty one. To show us just what that would be like, a new trailer for the has arrived.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Still struggling over the loss of their oldest son, Caleb, to the war in Afghanistan, the Peterson family finds some solace when an unexpected visitor knocks on its door. David, a steely eyed and charismatic soldier who was recently discharged, is welcomed into their home when he comes to fulfill a promise he made to his fallen comrade. Siblings Anna and Luke are at first reluctant to accept David’s presence, but he soon wins them over by scoring kegs for Anna’s friends and roughing up some bullies from Luke’s school. Though he appears to be the perfect houseguest, a mysterious and sinister chain of events causes Anna to question whether David is actually whom he claims to be.’

The film will screen at London’s Frightfest later this month and be in cinemas later this year. [Read more…]

New Penguins of Madagascar Trailer – The birds team up with Benedict Cumberbatch

August 6, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

penguins-of-madagascar-pic1There are plenty out there who think that without the Penguins, the Madagascar franchise wouldn’t have been the success it was (ditto Scrat in Ice Age) – DreamWorks Animation certainly thinks they’re popular, as they’ve already had animated special and a TV series, and now they’re getting a movie.

A new trailer for the film has arrived, which you can watch below.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Discover the secrets of the most entertaining and mysterious birds in the global espionage game: Skipper, Kowalski, Rico and Private now must join forces with the chic spy organization, the North Wind, led by Agent Classified (we could tell you his name, but then … you know), voiced by Benedict Cumberbatch to stop the villainous Dr. Octavius Brine, voiced by John Malkovich, from taking over the world.’

The film is due out towards the end of the year. [Read more…]

Terminator 5 Becomes Terminator: Genisys And Gets A Logo

August 6, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

terminator-genisys-logoA couple of months before it started shooting, the fifth Terminator movie became known as Terminator: Genesis. Well, it turns out that was almost right, except the title isn’t quite a dictionary perfect, as it’s actually going to be Terminator: Genisys.

Arnie first let us know about this spelling alteration by putting the picture below on Instagram, which was shortly followed by the logo above on the Terminator Twitter account.

The announcement coincides with the end of shooting, which Arnie marks by saying, ‘Hasta la vista, baby. I want to thank the cast and crew of @TerminatorGenisys for a fantastic shoot. It was challenging, it was fun, and it was rewarding. From our director to the producers, from the camera team to catering, from visual effects to hair and makeup – we couldn’t have done it without you. I can’t wait to see our finished project and I know we’ll remind the fans why they fell in love with the Terminator. On July 1, 2015, I’ll be back.’

There’s no news on what Genisys itself might be, although the speculation at the moment is that it’s some kind of software related to Skynet, or that it’s the beginning of the programme that ends up creating cyborgs.

Alan Taylor (Thor: The Dark World) directs, with Arnie starring alongside Emilia Clarke, Jai Courtney, Jason Clarke, Matt Smith, Byung-Hun Lee, and JK Simmons.

Taylor Kitsch May Take The Lead In The Raid Remake

August 5, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

taylor-kitsch-shirtless-john_carterHollywood’s so far unsuccessful attempts to turn Taylor Kitsch into a bona fide A-list star (and they really have been trying) continues with the news, via The Wrap, that he’s been offered the lead in the English-language remake of The Raid.

Some would say we already got that – but with a sci-fi twist – with Dredd, but Screen Gems hopes to start shooting its take on the 2011 Indonesian hit movie next January.

However Kitsch being part of the movie is far from a done deal. While it appears the actor and the studio are in talks, rumours suggest they’re far apart in terms of the money being aked. There’s also the fact Kitsch is in talks for the second season of True Detective. Although he may be able to do both, they’d have sort out the scheduling carefully, as True Detective is due to wrap around the same time The Raid remake starts.

Frank Grillo is also likely to star, with Patrick Hughes (The Expendables 3) directing from a screenplay by Brad Ingelsby (Out of the Furnace).

The original The Raid featured a team of policemen who become trapped in an apartment building that is the heavily secured stronghold of a drug lord who is determined that none of them will make it out alive. It was more the fighting and action than the plot that impressed people though. The remake is said to be set in the world of DEA fast teams, and will feature a clash between different fighting styles.

Ryan Reynolds Will Be A Criminal Alongside Kevin Costner & Gary Oldman

August 4, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

ryan-reynolds-slideRecently Kevin Costner, Tommy Lee Jones and Gary Oldman signed up to star in the thriller Criminal, and now another big name has joined the cast, as Ryan Reynolds has signed up for the movie, according to Variety.

The movie is about a ruthless killer who chooses to take part in a scientific experiment instead of spending the rest of his life in jail. He gets implanted with the brain of a recently-murdered CIA field operative in the hope that he will stop a diabolical plot.

It’s not currently 100% clear which actor will play which role, except that Oldman will be the head of the CIA. Presumably Reynolds and Costner will be the killer and the dead CIA agent, but it’s unclear which way round it will be.

Ariel Vromen is set to direct from a script by Douglas Cook and David Weisberg.

Lily James & Sam Riley To Lead Pride & Prejudice & Zombies

August 4, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

sam-rileyLike the main threat in its storyline, Pride and Prejudice and Zombies refuses to die, as after numerous casts, directors and screenwriters, a September shoot date has been set and Lily James, Sam Riley and Bella Heathcote are set to star, with Jack Huston likely to join them, according to Deadline.

The film rights to Pride and Prejudice and Zombies were sold back in 2009 when Seth Grahame-Smith’s novel was published. Since then helmers such as David O’Russell, Craig Gillespie and Mike White have come and gone, and everyone from Emma Stone to Natalie Portman has been up for the female lead.

Now though Lily James will play Elizabeth Bennett, with Sam Riley taking on the role of Mr. Darcy and Bella Heathcote as Elizabeth’s sister. Grahame-Smith’s book is a retelling of Pride & Prejudice, which keeps much of Jane Austen’s original text, but adds in a zombie apocalypse to give the classic love story an extra bit of zing.

Burr Steers directs, with the film expected to be in cinemas next year.

Jennifer Connelly Joins Ewan McGregor In American Pastoral

August 4, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

jennifer-connelly-slideThe decades-long journey to get Philip Roth’s Pulitzer Prize-winning novel American Pastoral onto the big screen finally looks like it might be coming to fruition, with Philip Noyce in place to direct and Ewan McGregor recently signing on to star.

Now he has a co-star, as Jennifer Connelly has joined the movie.

Connelly will play Dawn, the wife of McGregor’s Swede Levov. Swede is a legendary high school athlete who grows up to marry a former beauty queen and inherits his father’s business. However his seemingly perfect life is shatteeds when his daughter rebels by becoming a revolutionary and committing a savage act of political terrorism during the Vietnam War.

We’ve still got a while to wait for the movie though, as is won’t start shooting until March 2015.

Female Based Spider-Man Spin-Off Movie Planned For 2017

August 4, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

amazing-spider-man-new-slideIt’s been known for a while that Sony wants to build its own comic book universe based around the Spider-man characters, with a new film coming each year. However they’ve already had to shuffle things around a little, pushing Amazing Spider-man 3, while pulling the villain based Sinister Six up to 2016.

There’s also a Venon movie (with current rumours suggesting it will be called Venom Carnage), but that film is currently undated.

It also appears that with Amazing Spider-man 2 not quite living up to expectations, Deadline says the studio is doing a complete revamp of their Spider-man universe plans, and that includes adding in a female led superhero movie, which will come out in 2017.

As yet there’s no news on who this character might be, although the suggestion is that Silver Sable, Black Cat, Stunner, Firestarter and Spider-Woman are likely contenders. With Black Cat – as played by Felicity Jones – already introduced in Spider-man, she’s the current frontrunner for the character that’s getting their own movie.

Lisa Joy Nolan has been hired to write the script.

First Pics Of Amy Adams & Christoph Waltz In Tim Burton’s Big Eyes

August 4, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

big-eyes-pic1Tim Burton is taking a step away from the fantastical and returning to the world of the biopic he’s handled so well in the likes of Ed Wood. The film is Big Eyes, and now USA Today has debuted the first pics from the film.

The images feature Amy Adams as artist Margaret Keane, with Christoph Waltz as her husband, Walter (who are certainly a different pairing from Reese Witherspoon and Ryan Reynolds, who were eyed for the film before Burton decided to direct).

The film follows Margaret, whose paintings of large-eyed children were massively popular in the 1950s and 1960s. However initially Walter claimed he was behind the paintings. After the two fell out, she announced to the world that she was the true artist behind all the big-eyed paintings, and that the rather pompous and self-obsessed Walter (who spoke about himself in the third person and compared himself to Rembrandt and El Greco) stole all the credit for her work.

It set off a long running dispute between the two which ended in court battles, and a rather dramatic moment in court where the judge asked both to do some painting. Walter refused to do so because of a pain in his arm, but Margaret quickly crafted one of her trademark paintings.

Terence Stamp, Danny Huston, Krysten Ritter and Jason Schwartzman. The movie is heading for a Christmas US release.
