Jason Bateman & Tina Fey Have A Lot Of Family In A This I Where I Leave You Poster

July 11, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

this-is-where-i-leave-you-posterA few weeks ago we got a trailer for Shawn Levy’s dark comedy This Is Where I Leave You, and now it’s been followed up by a poster showing off the film’s large cast, which includes Jason Bateman, Tina Fey, Adam Driver, Rose Byrne, Corey Stoll, Kathryn Hahn, Connie Britton, Timothy Olyphant, Dax Shepard and Jane Fonda.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘When their father passes away, four grown siblings, bruised and banged up by their respective adult lives, are forced to return to their childhood home and live under the same roof together for a week, along with their over-sharing mother and an assortment of spouses, exes and might-have-beens. Confronting their history and the frayed states of their relationships among the people who know and love them best, they ultimately reconnect in hysterical and emotionally affecting ways amid the chaos, humor, heartache and redemption that only families can provide— driving us insane even as they remind us of our truest, and often best, selves.

The film will hit cinemas this September.

The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Gets A New Message From President Snow

July 10, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

hunger-games-mockingjay-snow-portraitA couple of weeks ago President Snow, ruler of The Hunger Games’ Panem gave us an address from The Capitol, as he knew that following the events of Catching Fire, there is dissent in the Districts and if it isn’t stamped out, the whole country could collapse.

Now he is back with a call for Unity, once more showing off his iron fist in a velvet glove skills.

We can also enjoy the new ‘official portrait’ above, which I’m sure we’d all love to hang on our walls. As you can see, it also features Peeta Mellark and Johanna Mason, who I’m sure were both their of their own free will.

Jon Hamm, Kevin Hart & Sarah Silverman In Talks For The Incredible Mr. Limpet

July 10, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

jon-hammNow that Richard Linklater’s 12-year odyssey to make Boyhood is out of the way, he’s moving full steam ahead with the long-gestating remake of the 1964 animated comedy The Incredible Mr. Limpet.

Zach Galifianakis is already attached to star, but he now likely to get some impressive company, as TheWrap reports that Jon Hamm, Kevin Hart, Danny McBride, Sarah Silverman, Josh Gad, Keegan Michael Key and Jordan Peele are all in talks for the movie.

The part live-action, part animated 1964 original starred Don Knotts as a man who wishes he was a fish (doesn’t everyone?), which then becomes true. The first version is set during World War II, where Limpet goes off to fight the Nazis, although this new version will be told in a contemporary setting.

Zach Galifianakis will play the lead role of Henry, with Jon Hamm as the main villain. Danny McBride and Sarah Silverman are likely to get live action roles, while Kevin Hart, Keegan Michael Key and Jordan Peele are expected to voice sea creatures.

First Look at Ian McKellen As An Aging Sherlock Holmes In Mr. Holmes

July 10, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

mr-holmes-pic1It was arguably 1998’s Gods & Monsters that turned Ian McKellen from a well-loved British stage actor into a movie star (with his Oscar nomination for the movie certainly helping). Now he’s reteaming with the director of that movie, Bill Condon, for Mr. Holmes, about Sherlock Homes when he’s in his 90s.

Now the social media savvy McKellen has shared the first image from the film via Twitter, which you can see above, along with the message, ‘Over 70 actors have previously played Sherlock Holmes. Now he’s 93 years old and it’s my turn.’

When McKellen signed up for the film last September it was called A Slight Trick of the Mind. However now it’s Mr. Holmes and he’ll play a retired Sherlock Holmes, who in 1947 is retired and lives in a sleepy Sussex village with his housekeeper and her amateur-sleuthing son. But far from living out a peaceful retirement, he is haunted by an unsolved case from 50 years ago. He remembers only fragments: a confrontation with an angry husband, a secret bond with his beautiful but unstable wife.

With his legendary mental powers on the wane, and without his old sidekick Watson, Holmes is faced with the toughest case of his life – a case that might finally reveal to him the mysteries of the human heart.

Jeffrey Hatcher (The Duchess) wrote the screenplay adaptation, based on Mitch Cullin’s novel. It’ll be in cinemas next year.

Guillermo Del Toro Will Make A Black & White Creature Feature Before Pacific Rim 2

July 10, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

guillermo-del-toroIn the last few months Guillermo Del Toro has been talking up Pacific Rim 2 and his plans for the movie, but it turns out before we get that film, he plans to direct another movie beforehand.

Pacific Rim 2 already has an August 2017 release, but Del Toro is hoping to slot in his other movie with an early 2015 shoot planned. It will be rather smaller that his giant robot film though, including bring made in black and white.

Del Toro has been talking to Collider about the film, saying, “Right away, in February/March I should [start on] another very small movie, black and white, really, really bizarre before starting – we start pre-production on Pacific Rim 2 in August, and then I interrupt it briefly to go into the first of next year to do this strange little movie, and then I restart it and go all the way until we start shooting Pacific Rim 2 at the end of 2015 for release in 2017.”

He wouldn’t reveal anything about the plot, but he did say, “It’s a very small cast. I would love to have John Hurt, and there’s an actress that I have in mind that is not well-known but I’ve seen her in a short film. That’s all she’s really done, one feature and one short, but she has an incredibly interesting taste and I’m gonna try her out for the main role.”

He then added when pressed for more details, “There’s one great creature in it. It does [have a title], but I find – I’d rather do the projects and then show them to people than talk about them. I think that it’s going to be a nice thing for people to know which one is it and where it came from when it’s a reality.”

Scarlett Johansson & Jonah Hill May Hail Caesar! Alongside George Clooney

July 10, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

SCARLETT-JOHANSSONThe Coen Brothers seems to want to fill every role in their upcoming Hail Caesar with a well-known face, as they’ve already got the likes of George Clooney, Josh Brolin, Channing Tatum, Ralph Fiennes and Tilda Swinton, and now Variety reports that Scarlett Johansson and Jonah Hill are in talks to join them.

The 1950s set story is about a Hollywood fixer called Eddie Mannix, who works for the movie studios to help their major stars from avoiding scandals and to keep their dirty laundry under cover.

It’s now known who Jonah Hill will play, but Scarlett Johansson is playing an actress who becomes pregnant just before her latest film is about to start production. It works out as good timing for the actress, as she is pregnant herself, but as with several of the other roles in Hail Caesar!, it’s a relatively small part, so she’ll have plenty of time to complete it before she’s due to give birth.

Shooting on Hail Caesar! is set to start in a couple of months time.

Alec Baldwin & Rebecca Ferguson In Talks for Mission: Impossible 5

July 10, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

alec-baldwinJust a few months ago Alec Baldwin suggested he was retiring from the public eye after facing criticism for once more yelling a gay slur at someone during an altercation. However he seems to have changed his mind, as Deadline reports he’s in talks for Mission: Impossible 5.

He’s not the only one, as Variety adds that Rebecca Ferguson is apparently to play the female lead, who is apparently some sort of assassin. Jessica Chastain was offered the role back in April, but she ultimately passed because she could not commit enough time to the extensive shoot, and so now Paramount is looking towards someone who’s a little less well known.

Baldwin meanwhile would be a high-ranking CIA officer who oversees the division lead by Tom Cruise’s Ethan Hunt. The role has been compared to Laurence Fishburne’s Theodore Brassel in 2006’s Mission: Impossible III.

Jeremy Renner, Paula Patton, Ving Rhames and Simon Pegg are expected to reprise their roles from 2011’s Mission: Impossible Ghost Protocol. Christopher McQuarrie (Jack Reacher) is directing from a script by Drew Pearce (Iron Man 3). The film is currently due for release on December 25th, 2015.

Brandon Routh Joins The Hot Guys Of Arrow For Season 3

July 9, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

brandon-routhI presume that when the producers are thinking of bringing a new male character into TV’s Arrow, the top of the list when it comes to casting is that they must being very good looking. They’re certainly keeping with that for Season 3, as the likes of Stephen Amell, Colton Haynes and David Ramsey, will be joined by Superman Returns star Brandon Routh.

Variety reports that he will play Ray Palmer, also known as The Atom. The ‘character is a scientist and inventor that will have an unexpected yet mysterious role in the lives of Oliver (Amell) and Felicity (Emily Bett Rickards)’.

In the comics Palmer can shrink down to subatomic size. It’ll be interesting to see whether they keep that in Arrow. So far the show has largely eschewed characters with the more fantastical kinds of special powers, however with The Flash getting a sister show to Arrow, it may well be that these things will become a more regular part of the show.

We’ll just have to wait and see what they do with Routh.

Exodus: Gods And Kings Trailer – Christian Bale & Joel Edgerton go head-to-head in the biblical epic

July 9, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

exodus-gods-and-kings-slideOne of this winter’s most intriguing films is Exodus: Gods And Kings, which is a big gamble for both Fox and 20th Century Fox. They are hoping that with Gladiator director Ridley Scott directing and legions of religious folks who may be interested in film about Moses, it will be a hit. However historical epics of this sort are often tough sells.

Fox is now getting the ball rolling, as after some images arrived a few days ago, we now get a first trailer, which seems keen to sell us on the scale as well as the rivalry between Christian Bale’s Moses and Joel Edgerton’s Ramses.

As you would expect, the story follows Moses, an Israelite who grew up as part of the Egyptian royal household, but who goes up against the Pharaoh Ramses so that he can lead the Israelites out of Egypt and into the Promised Land. Cue plagues, battles and at some point the Red Sea will need to be parted.

Exodus: Gods and Kings is due out in December. [Read more…]

Felony Trailer – Joel Edgerton & Jai Courtney are thrown into a massive moral dilemma

July 9, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Felony-Joel-Edgerton-Tom-WilkinsonAfter decent reports for its film festival screenings, the thriller Felony is now in the run up to its cinema release. While it doesn’t appear firm UK or US dates are set yet, it’s out in Australia on August 28th.

The film stars Joel Edgerton (who also wrote the script) as a decorated police officer, who when driving home after a celebration drink with his team after the long waited bust of a major gang, runs a young cyclist off the road. As he gives CPR to the child, fellow officers arrive to take his statement. In a split second decision he tells them a lie about the accident, which will change all their lives in this edge of your seat thriller.

Jai Courtney is another cop who suspects that Edgerton has been lying, while Tom Wilkinson is the lead police investigator who arrives on the scene following the accident.

Take a look at the first trailer below. [Read more…]
