New Pics Emerge From The Set Of Angelina Jolie’s Unbroken

October 31, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

unbroken-pic3
Angelina Jolie’s second outing as a director, Unbroken, is now shooting, and to prove it a trio of pic from the set have been released, showing Jolie helming some rather damp action from the part of the movie that takes place on the ocean.

The press release accompanying the pics says, ‘Academy Award winner Angelina Jolie directs and produces Unbroken, an epic drama that follows the incredible life of Olympian and war hero Louis “Louie” Zamperini (Jack O’Connell) who, along with two other crewmen, survived in a raft for 47 days after a near-fatal plane crash in WWII—only to be caught by the Japanese Navy and sent to a prisoner-of-war camp.

‘Director Jolie began shooting some of the most dramatic and challenging scenes on Wednesday, October 16, on location far out at sea in Moreton Bay, Australia, with Louis Zamperini (O’Connell) and his fellow airmen—Phil (Domhnall Gleeson) and Mac (Finn Wittrock)—having impossibly survived being adrift in the open Pacific for several weeks.

‘Working with cameras on a floating rig in choppy waters and braving the elements, with actors dieting for months to appear as depleted as their characters, Jolie completed a successful first day of a location shoot that promises to be rigorous and uniquely challenging…

‘Starring alongside O’Connell, Gleeson and Wittrock are Garrett Hedlund and John Magaro as fellow POWs who find an unexpected camaraderie during their internment, Alex Russell as Zamperini’s brother, Pete, and in his English-language feature debut, Japanese actor Miyavi as the brutal camp guard known only to the men as “The Bird.”’

The film will be out Christmas 2014 in the US and January 2015 in the UK.

Spike Lee May Be Spinning Gold With Justin Timberlake

October 31, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

spike-leeIn a few weeks we’ll get to see what Spike Lee’s take on Park Chan Wook’s Oldboy is like. However he’s already planning for the future, as THR reports he’s been approached to direct Spinning Gold, which has had Justin Timberlake attached to star and produce since 2011.

Spinning Gold is set to chronicle the life of Neil Bogart, who founded Casablanca Records in 1974 and is credited with discovering, launching and nurturing the careers of a generation of music superstars. KISS, Parliament, Donna Summer, and The Village People were just a few of the acts on the roster of Casablanca Records, whose sound and image would come to define 70s pop culture.

Neil’s son, Timothy Scott Bogart, is penning the script, and will also produce the film alongside his brother, Evan “Kidd” Bogart. There’s no info on when it might go in front of the cameras.

Victor Rasuk Will Be Jamie Dornan’s Love Rival In Fifty Shades of Grey

October 31, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Victor-RasukWith the jump from Charlie Hunnam to Jamie Dornan as Christian Grey in the film version of Fifty Shades Of Grey, shooting has had to be pushed back a few weeks until early December. That’s partly so they have more time to fill out the rest of the cast.

Now Victor Rasuk has become the latest to join the Fifty Shades of Grey cast, according to Deadline, signing on to play college student Jose, who ends up being Christian’s love rival.

In E.L. James novel, Jose is an amateur photographer, classmate and close friend of Anastasia Steele (Dakota Johnson). He’s keen to take their relationship to the next level. However, he finds himself competing for her affections with young billionaire Christian Grey (Jamie Dornan), who draws Anastasia in with his twisted S&M games.

Jennifer Ehle is set to play Anastasia’s mother, with Luke Grimes as Christian’s brother, Elliot. Sam Taylor-Johnson is directing from an adapted screenplay by Kelly Marcel, Patrick Marber and Mark Bomback. It’ll be in cinemas next August.

Robert Zemeckis To Direct The Porcelain Rabbit Focussed Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane

October 31, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

robert-zemeckisSince Robert Zemeckis came back to the world of live-action with Flight, most of the movies he’s been attached to have had a rather adult feel, however he’s now signed up to helm and adaptation of Kate DiCamillo’s 2006 children’s novel, The Remarkable Journey of Edward Tulane, according to Variety.

The book follows the adventure of a china rabbit in the 1930s. The porcelain bunny is owned by a 10-year-old girl who loses him during a voyage on the Queen Mary. After that he time, under water, is tossed about in a storm, gets discovered by a fisherman’s wife, then becomes the property of a hobo and his dog, and onto a sick girl.

Jeff Stockwell will write the script.

It sounds like a good fit for Zemeckis, as it should given him a chance to flex his visual muscles and use special effects, while telling a family friendly tale that needs a grown-up touch to make it a success on the screen.

Director Juan Carlos Fresnadillo Takes On Pet Sematary

October 31, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

pet-semataryFor quite a long time now there’s been talk of remaking Pet Sematary. However rather like the plot, the idea keeps dying and coming back to life. Now it’s been revived once more with the news that director Juan Carlos Fresnadillo (28 Weeks Later, Intruders) is in talks to direct, according to Variety.

The first reports that a remake was in the works came in 2004, when Mike Werb and Michael Colleary (Face/Off) were attached to write the script. The idea resurfaced again in 2011 with a script from Matt Greenberg. The latest version sees Greenberg co-writing with David Kajganich.

The 1989 film, based on Stephen King’s novel, follows a family who moves in next to a cemetery, which they discover has a creepy past and seems to have the power to raise things from the dead – although they don’t come back quite like they were before.

There’s no news on when they hope to shoot this new version.

Bill Murray, Octavia Spencer & Jennifer Coolidge Wants To Say B.O.O.

October 31, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Bill-MurrayOn Halloween DreamWorks Animation decided it was a good idea to reveal that Bill Murray will join  cast of B.O.O.: Bureau of Otherworldly Operations as villainous ghost, Addison Drake. Jennifer Coolidge, best known for her role as Stifler’s mom in American Pie, will play Carol Sue, a bubbly transitions-relations officer, the The Help’s Octavia Spencer will play the tough as nails Sr. B.O.O. officer, Captain Book, according to THR.

The trio join the previously announced Seth Rogen, Melissa McCarthy, Rashida Jones and Matthew Bomer.

Director Anthony Leondis commented on the new cast members, “Bill Murray is the perfect actor to bring this character to life – or should I say ‘after-life? Along with Jennifer and Octavia, this is a dream cast. I can’t imagine a team more capable of packing a funnier punch to this broadly comedic ghost story.”

The supernatural action comedy follows two bumbling ghosts who get into all sorts of trouble when they join the Bureau of Otherworldly Operations (B.O.O.) – the ghost world’s elite counter-haunting unit – and ultimately must face off against the planet’s greatest haunter.

The film is set to be released by Twentieth Century Fox on June 5, 2015.

October 30, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Richard-GereLast year The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel became a surprise hit, grossing $136 million around the world on a budget of just $10 million and showing that there’s a big audience out there for movies about older people.

Open Grave Trailer – Sharlto Copley wakes up in a pit of dead bodies

October 30, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment


I think it’s safe to say Sharlto Copley isn’t having a great time in Open Grave, but then, waking up in a pit full of dead people isn’t never going to be the start of a good day.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘A man (Sharlto Copley, DISTRICT 9, ELYSIUM) wakes up in a pit of dead bodies with no memory of who he is or how he got there. Fleeing the scene, he breaks into a nearby house and is met at gunpoint by a group of terrified strangers, all suffering from memory loss. Suspicion gives way to violence as the group starts to piece together clues about their identities, but when they uncover a threat that’s more vicious—and hungry—than each other, they are forced to figure out what brought them all together—before it’s too late.’

Gonzalo López-Gallego (Apollo 18) directs, with Copley starring alongside Thomas Kretschmann, Josie Ho, Joseph Morgan, Erin Richards and Max Wrottesley. [Read more…]

New The Wolf of Wall Street Trailer – Martin Scorsese takes Leo DiCaprio into a mad world of money

October 30, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment


Movies about people in the financial world don’t usually sound that much fun, and to be honest on paper that’s true of The Wolf Of Wall Street, but as this trailer shows, it could be incredibly entertaining in its insanity.

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. Although it wasn’t certain whether the film would be ready for a prime Oscar-bait release at the end of the year, it now appears it will indeed by going for an awards push. [Read more…]

Nikolaj Coster-Waldau Is Getting A Second Chance

October 30, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Nikolaj-Coster-WaldauEver since he scored the role of Jaime Lannister, Nikolaj Coster-Waldau’s career has been on the rise, including roles in Mama, Oblivion and the upcoming God Of Egypt. Now he’s signed on Susanne Bier’s latest, A Second Chance, according to ScreenDaily.

The film’s backers, TrustNordisk, issued a statement about the movie, saying, ‘How far are decent human beings willing to go, when tragedy blurs the line between just and unjust? With A Second Chance, Susanne Bier and [screenwriter] Anders Thomas Jensen have crafted another startling yet moving drama, about how easily we lose our grasp on justice, when we face the unthinkable and life as we know it hangs by a thread.’

Unfortunately that’s all we know about the plot. Filming will begin in November on the Danish island of Funen.
