Angelina Jolie Is All Cheekbones As The Evil Fairy In A New Maleficent Poster

March 10, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

maleficent-poster2
The one thing you’d never think Angelina Jolie would need is more cheekbones, but she’s got some in Maleficent. You can see just how high they are in the new poster, which has just been released. It’s a great image, although we’re still yet to see whether there are actual horns under the headdress or if it’s just the bad fairy’s unique fashion statement.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘From Disney comes “Maleficent”—the untold story of Disney’s most iconic villain from the 1959 classic “Sleeping Beauty.” A beautiful, pure-hearted young woman, Maleficent has an idyllic life growing up in a peaceable forest kingdom, until one day when an invading army threatens the harmony of the land. Maleficent rises to be the land’s fiercest protector, but she ultimately suffers a ruthless betrayal—an act that begins to turn her pure heart to stone. Bent on revenge, Maleficent faces an epic battle with the invading king’s successor and, as a result, places a curse upon his newborn infant Aurora. As the child grows, Maleficent realizes that Aurora holds the key to peace in the kingdom—and perhaps to Maleficent’s true happiness as well.’

It’s due in cinemas this May.

March 8, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Muppets-Most-Wanted-parody2
Disney likes to have fun with its Muppets marketing, and that’s certainly true here, with the release of four parody posters, which feature Kermit and co. taking on Skyfall, The World Is Not Enough, Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy and Face/Off.

Packed with celebrity cameos and featuring star turns from Ricky Gervais, Tiny Fey and Ty Burrell, MUPPETS MOST WANTED takes the entire Muppets gang on a global tour, including stops in Berlin, Madrid, Dublin and London.

‘Disney’s MUPPETS MOST WANTED is directed by James Bobin and produced by David Hoberman and Todd Lieberman. Bobin co-wrote the screenplay with Nicholas Stoller, who is also executive producer with John G. Scotti. Featuring music from Academy Award®-winning songwriter Bret McKenzie, MUPPETS MOST WANTED comes to UK cinemas March 28, 2014.’ It’ll be out a week earlier in the US.

March 8, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

renee-zellwegerA few weeks ago, Daniel Craig signed up to star in The Whole Truth, now he may have some company, as Variety reports that Renee Zellweger is in talks to join the courtroom thriller.

Unfortunately there are still no plot details that have been released about the movie, other than that Craig will be playing a lawyer. Frozen River director Courtney Hunt is directing from a script by Nicholas Kazan. Richard Suckle will be producing with FilmNation handling foreign rights.

It’s not clear when it might shoot, although it’s believed Craig is hoping to get it in the can before he starts shooting Bond 24, which is due to begin filming in the autumn.

Thomas Kretschmann joins Rupert Friend In Agent 47

March 8, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

thomas-kretschmannThomas Kretschmann’s star is certainly on the rise, he apparently has a multi-picture deal with Marvel that will start with Avengers: Age Of Ultron, and now he’s signed up to play the villain in Fox’s plans to reboot the videogame Hitman on the big screen, which is going by the name Agent 47.

The project had a major setback when Paul Walker, who was set for the title role, tragically died, but he’s now been replaced by Rupert Friend, playing a deadly assassin with a barcode tattooed on the back of his head. Kretschmann is playing LeClerq, the chairman of Syndicate International, an organisation that is striving to create an army of unstoppable agents, and which Friend’s character must stop.

Zachary Quinto and Hannah Ware are also set to star, but it’s not clear who they will play.

Aleksander Bach is directing from a screenplay by Skip Woods and Michael Finch (Predators). Filming has already begun in Berlin. (Source: THR)

Idris Elba Joins Jon Favreau & Disney’s The Jungle Book

March 8, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Idris-ElbaWith two live action versions of The Jungle Book in the works – one from Warner Bros. and one from Disney – so the race is on to get them into cinemas. Now Disney’s one, which Jon Favreau is set to direct, is close to signing Idris Elba to perform and provide the voice for the tiger Shere Khan.

Shere Khan is the deadly jungle cat who stalks and threatens Mowgli, the young boy brought up by animals in the Indian jungle. He believe Mowgli is a threat that will only grow as he ages.

Robert Legato, who was instrumental to the effects in Avatar (and won an Oscar for it), will oversee the motion capture in the adaptation of the Rudyard Kipling novel. He’ll work with production designers Alex McDowell (Man of Steel) and Chris Glass, and concept artists Michael Kutsche (Maleficent), Iain McCaig (Star Wars: Episode VII ) and Justin Sweet (The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe). David Lowery (Iron Man ) is heading up the story team, which is working around the clock with seven full-time illustrators, with Legacy Effects in charge of rigging and creature design.

Disney is keen to beat Warner Bros.’ take on the classic story to the big screen. Currently Disney has the advantage, as  director Alejandro Gonzalez Inarittu stepped aside several weeks ago, and as yet there’s no replacement.

March 6, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Grace Of Monaco Trailer – Nicole Kidman plays the iconic Grace Kelly

March 6, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment


Grace Of Monaco has had a few issues. It was originally due for a prime Oscar-bait Christma release in the US, but it got caught up in a massive battle between director Olivier Dahan and the notoriously cut-happy producer Harvey Weinsten, who wanted to release his own version the movie. The fight resulted in the movie getting shunted and it’s unclear when it will come out in the US.

However in the UK there’s a different distributor, Warner Bros., and so a lot fewer problems. They’ve now who’ve set a June 6th British release, as well as briging out a poster and full trailer, which you can see here.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Set in 1962, six years after her celebrated Wedding of the Century, GRACE OF MONACO is an intimate snapshot of a year in the life of the twentieth century’s most iconic Princess – Grace Kelly – as she strived to reconcile her past and her present, a yearning for a return to the big screen with her newfound role as a mother of two, monarch of a European principality and wife to Prince Ranier III.

‘While contemplating overtures from Alfred Hitchcock to return to her career in Hollywood, Grace found herself plunged into a personal crisis when Rainier’s modernization of an ailing Monaco was halted by Charles de Gaulle – the French President – and his attempts to not only impose French taxation on Monaco, but reclaim the principality for France by force.

‘The full-blown international crisis and impending French invasion that loomed – would pose a crisis not just for her family, her marriage and her country, but in Grace’s private life. It would become the moment in which a cinematic icon, an American far from home, would have to face a tough decision – return to her celebrated status as a movie star, globally loved and adored, or accept that she will never act again, embrace her new role and her new identity, her duty to her husband, her children, and the world’s second smallest country that has now become her home.

‘Grace of Monaco is a real-life fairytale, a sweeping romance, a portrait of the cinematic legend of Princess Grace and a realization that love is much more than a passion, but an obligation.’ [Read more…]
