Kill Your Darlings Helmer John Krokidas Takes On Standard Happiness Package

November 26, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

john-krokidas-slide
After the indie success off Kill Your Darlings, director John Krokidas is planning his next move as he has signed on to direct Fox Searchlight’s Standard Happiness Package, according to Deadline.

The indie sci-fi is based on a short story by Charles Yu and follows a college graduate who takes an entry-level position at a tech company. His rather unusual job is that he has to experience painful events from other people’s lives. He falls desperate in love with his boss and tries to build a relationship, but this proves incredible difficult in a world that is slowly becoming entirely virtual and where he ends up becoming a human pain cushion.

The story was originally published as part of Yu’s ‘Sorry Please Thank You’ collection. The gay Krokidas will helm from a script by Keith Bunin. It’s not clear when it will shoot.

Was X-Men’s Magneto Involved In JFK’s Assassination? He May Be In Days Of Future Past

November 26, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

x-men-days-of-future-past-poster2It’s a tiny bit more than 50 years since President John F. Kennedy’s assassination by Lee Harvey Oswald in Dallas, Texas. Ever since then conspiracy theories have swirled over whether there was a second shooter on a grassy knoll.

Anyone who’s seen JFK will also remember the so-called ‘magic bullet’ which the official reports says ricocheted to cause several injuries, but which some think couldn’t possible have moved that way on it own. Now it seems X-Men: Days of Future Past wants to agree with that, suggesting Magneto may have been involved.

20th Century Fox has launched a new viral website called TheBentBullet.com, which ties the sequel to the assassination by suggesting that Erik Lensherr, aka Magneto (Michael Fassbender), was the man on that “grassy knoll,” and manipulated the metal the bullet with his powers.

Take a look below for a video exploring the idea.

Vampire Academy Trailer – From the makers of Mean Girls & Heathers

November 25, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment


With the end of Twilight, are young adults still interested in bloodsuckers? Vampire Academy is hoping so. Now a new trailer has arrived, which suggests that despite the dreadful name it might not be too bad – although it appears fans of the books are in two minds about whether it looks like it’ll be able to capture the novels.

You’d have hope we’d get something decent from Mean Girls helmer Mark Waters and Heathers writer Daniel Waters, who’ve adapted Richelle Mead‘s popular series of books for the big screen.

The film tells the tale of Rose Hathaway, a 17-year-old girl who has a mental and spiritual bond with her vampire best friend Lissa. The two girls attend a special school for Vampires who struggle to retain some humanity while other Vampires become more feral. Zoey Deutch (Beautiful Creatures) and the Australian Lucy Fry playing Rose and Lissa, with Russian star Danila Kozlovski as Dimitri.

The film’s due out early next year. [Read more…]

Four New That Awkward Moment Posters Featuring Zac Efron, Miles Teller & More

November 25, 2013 By Tim Isaac 2 Comments

that-awkward-moment-poster2
The red band trailer for That Awkward Moment featured Zac Efron’s butt and him wearing a dildo, so it’s perhaps a bit of a surprise that he’s holding a cat in his new poster for the movie, which makes everything seem a lot more innocent.

He’s not the only one who’s got one, as there are character posters for Miles Teller, Michael B. Jordan and Imogen Poots have got one too.

Previously titled Are We Officially Dating?, That Awkward Moment is about a groups of Manhattan friends (Zac Efron, Miles Teller, Michael B. Jordan) who initially make a pact to remain single. The plot thickens when each friend falls in love shortly after the vow is made (wouldn’t you just know it!), and have to decide “So…where is this going?”.

The movie is due out at the end of January.

November 25, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Wolf-of-Wall-Street-poster1
There was talk a few weeks ago that The Wolf Of Wall Street might miss its Christmas Day release and therefore miss out an awards run. But now Martin Scorsese has decided it’ll be ready in time, so it’s sticking to the original plan, which will see it arrive in the US on December 25th and the UK on January 17th.

A couple of new posters have shown up, along with a clip from the movie, which you can see below.

The based-on-a-true-story movie is about Jordan Belfort’s meteoric rise, where he made making millions selling phony stocks before he was arrested and sentenced to 22 months in prison for securities fraud. Matthew McConaughey, Jonah Hill, Kyle Chandler, Jean Dujardin, Margot Robbie, Jon Bernthal, Rob Reiner, and Jon Favreau also star.

Martin Scorsese directs from a screenplay by Boardwalk Empire creator Terence Winter.

Johnny Depp & Mia Wasikowska Confirmed For Alice In Wonderland 2

November 25, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

alice-in-wonderland-poster1After the billion dollar grossing success of Alice In Wonderland, it’s taken Disney a while to get a sequel going. Now they’ve kicked into high gear with the news that Johnny Depp and Mia Wasikowska have been confirmed to star in the movie, and a May 27, 2016 release date has been set for Alice in Wonderland 2.

Disney has also set its live-action version of The Jungle Book for October 9, 2015.

While Alice in Wonderland was released in early March 2010, the follow-up is being given a prime Memorial Day weekend release. At the moment it doesn’t have any direct competition, although that’s likely to change as the other studios firm up with 2016 release schedule.

Johnny Depp and Mia Wasikowska are slated to reprise their roles as The Mad Hatter and Alice, although no other cast members have been confirmed. James Bobin is directing from a screenplay by Linda Woolverton, although it isn’t clear when production will begin.

November 25, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

eloise-mumfordWith the shooting and release of Fifty Shades Of Grey pushed back, it’s given them a little more time to fill out the cast. The latest to join is Eloise Mumford, who has landed one of the last major roles, playing Kate Kavanaugh, the roommate of Dakota Johnson’s Anastasia Steele, according to Variety.

Jamie Dornan is set to play Christian Grey, a 27-year-old billionaire who strikes up a torrid, S&M flavoured affair with college student Anastasia. Jennifer Ehle is set to be Anastasia’s mother Carla, with Luke Grimes as Christian’s brother Elliot and Victor Rasuk as Anastasia’s friend Jose, who wants more out of their relationship before Christian comes along.

Sam Taylor-Johnson is directing from a screenplay by Kelly Marcel, Patrick Marber and Mark Bomback. Filming is scheduled to begin next month in Vancouver.

Rob Cohen To Helm Road House Remake

November 25, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

road-house-dvd-coverThe remake train continues to roll on with the news that MGM is once again reaching into their vaults to remake the cult classic, Road House. THR reports that The Fast and the Furious and xXx director Rob Cohen is set to helm the film.

The original 1989 movie follows Dalton (Patrick Swayze), a tough bouncer with a mysterious past who is called upon to tame and protect a dirty Missouri bar. However, he becomes the target of rich town bully Brad Wesley (Ben Gazzara), which leads to one of the more epic 80s showdowns in action movie history.

It’s a bit of an over the top movie, but that’s what has made it a cult classic. There’s no news on whether the remake plans to tone things down or go even more extreme. Probably the latter given Cohen’s track records.

The Hunger Games Catches Fire At The US Box Office, Setting A November Record

November 25, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

hunger-games-catching-fire-poster2It was little surprise that The Hunger Games: Catching Fire topped the US box office this weekend, but it did so with style, taking an enormous $161.1 million. That’s the biggest opening ever for November, and assuming the numbers hold steady when final figures are released, it’ll be the highest debut for a 2D only film, ahead of The Dark Knight Rises’ $160.9 million.

It’ll also be the third highest start, behind The Avengers and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2. It should continue to do well, with the Thanksgiving holiday coming up this week.

The only other new opener in the top 10 was Delivery Man, which reached fourth spot with a lacklustre $8.2 million on its opening. While it may find some more viewers over Thanksgiving it’s still likely to end up being seen as a failure.

On its fourth weekend in cinemas Dallas Buyers Club made its first appearance in the top 10, thanks to the fact it added nearly 500 extra screens. It took an extra $2.7 million, for a total of $6.4 million so far. It should continue to do well over the coming weeks, especially with Matthew McConaughey tipped for a strong awards run.

Take a look below for the US box office top 10 for the weekend of November 22nd-24th.

Rank Title Weekend Gross (millions) Total Gross to date (millions)
1 The Hunger Games: Catching Fire $161.1 $161.1
2 Thor: The Dark World $14.1 $167.8
3 The Best Man Holiday $12.5 $50.3
4 Delivery Man $8.2 $8.2
5 Free Birds $5.3 $48.5
6 Last Vegas $4.4 $53.9
7 Jackass Presents: Bad Grandpa $3.4 $95.4
8 Gravity $3.3 $245.5
9 12 Years A Slave $2.8 $29.3
10 Dallas Buyers Club $2.7 $6.4
