Jason Sudeikis Is Sleeping With Other People, Including Kirsten Dunst

September 11, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

jason-sudeikisJason Sudeikis has booked himself a new movie role. Following the success of We’re The Millers, Sudeikis has signed up for writer/director Leslye Headland’s new comedy, Sleeping With Other People, according to THR.

Kirsten Dunst is already on-board the film, which is described as a “biting comedy about a good-natured womanizer (Sudeikis) who befriends a remorseful serial cheater (Dunst). Their platonic relationship reforms their chronic infidelity but sparks an inconvenient romantic attraction to each other.”

Will Ferrell and Adam McKay’s Gary Sanchez production company is backing the movie, as they did Headland’s Bachelorette, which also starred Kirster Dunst. The film is currently being sold to potential backers in Toronto, but there’s no word on when it might shoot.

Robert Zemeckis Up For Chaos Walking, From A Charlie Kaufman Script

September 11, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

robert-zemeckisFollowing Flight, it seems Robert Zemeckis is firmly back in live-action territory, and he may now be going young adult, as TheWrap reports that he’s in talks to direct Chaos Walking, based on Patrick Ness’ series of books.

It should be more interesting than most young adult outings, as Adaptation and Being John Malkovich scribe Charlie Kaufman is on scripting duties.

Chaos Walking is the title of three books, The Knife Of Never Letting Go, The Ask And The Answer and Monsters Of Men, which are ‘set in a dystopian future where humans have colonized a distant Earth-like planet. When an infection called the Noise suddenly makes all thought audible, privacy vanishes and chaos ensues, leading a corrupt autocrat to threaten to take control of the human settlements and wage war with the indigenous alien race.’

Hunger Games studio Lionsgate is backing the movie, with the company apparently hoping Chaos Walking can fill the void when Katniss’ adventure come to an end in 2015.

Pirates of the Caribbean 5 Delayed Beyond Summer 2015, But The First Plot Details Emerge

September 11, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

pirates-4-poster2After high-profile flops like The Lone Ranger and John Carter, Disney has become more nervous about making mega-budget (non-Marvel) movies, and it seems that even extends to the mighty Pirates Of The Caribbean franchise.

Just a week after the directors revealed the fifth Pirates movie is due to be called Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales, Disney has delayed the movie, apparently due to issues with the script. Originally slated for release July 2015, it is now being pushed back from the summer, although there’s no news if that means it’s be out later in 2015, or if it will end up on the 2016 schedule.

It moves Pirates 5 out of an already crowded schedule of massively anticipated movies, which include Disney’s Star Wars VII and The Avengers 2, along with the Batman & Superman mash-up.

Bleeding Cool also has what it says are the first plot details, saying that ‘there’s going to be a new female lead, a sparring partner for Jack Sparrow. She’s nothing like him, mind you – despite being suspected of witchcraft, she’s actually a woman of science… As for witches, they’re central to whole conceit.’

There’ll also be a ghost who’ll have a main role, ‘It’s this character, a former member of the British military now sided with Barbossa on a revenge mission, that gives the film its title.’

The film will get a new young male and female lead, ‘a couple of pretty young Brits from farming families’.

Jurassic Park 4 Becomes Jurassic World, Gets A Release Date & A Pitch Trailer

September 11, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

jurassic-world-logo
Earlier this year, the long gestating Jurassic Park 4 was delayed from a 2014 release, reportedly because Universal and the filmmakers felt there wasn’t enough time left to get it right – even though they were already scouting locations. Now it’s moving forward again with the announcement that the official title of Jurassic Park 4 is Jurassic World.

It will be released on Friday, June 12, 2015 in 3D.

No official story details have been announced at this time, but the plot is rumored to take place at the site of the original Jurassic Park on Isla Nublar, which has been turned into an amusement park, as first envisioned by Richard Attenborough’s John Hammond. There, Dinosaur trainers run a Sea World type Isla Nublar Lagoon, which will include underwater dinosaurs (not just land-one swimming) for the first time in the franchise’s history. The film will also apparently include a never-before-seen dinosaur that will rival the T-Rex in terror.

Steven Spielberg will return to produce this long-awaited next instalment, with Colin Trevorrow directing from a  screenplay he wrote with Derek Connolly.

Hot on the heels of the title announcement, ShockTilYouDrop posted a video which appears to be a pitch trailer for Jurassic World. It’s not been officially confirmed whether it is, although Trevorrow has cryptically suggested in Twitter that it is. Take a look below.

The Railway Man Trailer – Colin Firth, Jeremy Irvine & Nicole Kidman take on an epic true story

September 10, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment


The Railway Man is making its debut at the Toronto International Film Festival, ahead of a hoped for awards run this winter. Now we can get our first look at the movie, as the trailer has arrived, and it certainly looks good.

The film is ‘Based on his best-selling memoir, The Railway Man tells the extraordinary and epic true story of Eric Lomax, a British Army officer who is tormented as a prisoner of war at a Japanese labour camp during World War II.  Decades later, Lomax discovers that the Japanese interpreter he holds responsible for much of his treatment is still alive and sets out to confront him, and his haunting past.  Directed by Jonathan Teplitzky, and starring Academy Award-winner Colin Firth, Jeremy Irvine, and Academy Award-winner Nicole Kidman, the film is a powerful tale of survival, love and redemption.’

It’ll be out in the UK in January, with an Academy Award qualifying expected to start in the US at the end of 2013. [Read more…]

New Plush Trailer – Cam Gigandet & Xavier Samuel get psychological

September 10, 2013 By Tim Isaac 1 Comment


Catherine Hardwicke stepped away from directing any of the sequels to Twilight, and now she’s taking taking things into psychological thriller territory with Plush. She’s also taken Twilight Saga stars Cam Gigandet and Xavier Samuel along for the ride.

The film stars Emily Browning as Hayley, lead singer of the rock band Plush. She is married to Carter (Cam Gigandet), with whom she has twins. However, tragedy strikes when her bandmate and brother, Jack (Thomas Dekker), dies of an overdose. His replacement, Enzo (Xavier Samuel), ends up being a great songwriting partner for Hayley. The duo soon take things further and begin sleeping with one another, but Enzo goes way over the line and becomes obsessed with Hayley, hiding some deep dark secrets that may have something to do with her brother.

Thomas Dekker and Frances Fisher also star in the movie, which is out in the US this week (but there’s no UK date as yet). [Read more…]

First Horns Clip Arrives – Daniel Radcliffe faces down a gun

September 10, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment


Horns is a rather intriguing movie, with Daniel Radcliffe getting even more grown up than ever, and even sporting the titular forehead attachments. The film is premièring at TIFF and to coincide with that, the first clip for the film has arrived, which sees Radcliffe dealing with an armed David Morse.

Based on the best-selling novel by Joe Hill (son of Stephen King) and directed by Alexandre Aja (The Hills Have Eyes, Piranha 3D) from a screenplay by Keith Bunin (In Treatment), Horns is a supernatural thriller that follows Ig Perrish (Radcliffe), the number one suspect for the violent rape and murder of his girlfriend, Merrin (Juno Temple).

Hungover from a night of hard drinking, Ig awakens one morning to find horns starting to grow from his own head and soon realises their power drives people to confess their sins and give in to their most selfish and unspeakable impulses – an effective tool in his quest to discover the true circumstances of his late girlfriend’s tragedy and for exacting revenge on her killer. It’ll hit cinemas next year.

Tim Roth & Gemma Arterton Find The Keys To The Street, From A Christopher Nolan Script

September 10, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Tim-RothFor the last decade or so Christopher Nolan has gone from unknown to one of the most powerful directors on the planet, but it should always be remembered that he’s had a hand in the script for all his movies (often working alongside his brother, Jonah).

Now he’s written something for someone else to helm, alongside co-writer Michael Stokes. The Keys To The Street is based on a Ruth Rendell novel, with Variety reporting that Gemma Arterton and Tim Roth are set to star.

The Amazon plot description of the novel says, ‘For the snobbish, upper-crust that live around London’s Regent’s Park, the homeless are an eye-sore and a nuisance. Only Mary Jargo (Arterton), a meek, sensitive young woman who has recently moved into the neighborhood to house-sit shows compassion. She often shares food and conversation with the unfortunates, particularly Effie, Dill, Roman, and Pharaoh. When someone starts murdering members of Regent’s homeless community and lancing them on the spiked fencing that encloses the park, only Mary seems to notice or care. Through her quest to discover the murderer, she embarks on a journey to overcome what she perceives to be her own insecurities and passivity.’

Roth will play Mary’s psychotic ex-boyfriend, with Max Irons also on-board as a man that Mary has an affair with

Knowing Nolan, he’ll have made the material his own, even if he’s handed the helming reigns to Czech director Julius Sevcik, who plans to shoot the movie early next year.

Ant-Man Now Coming Summer 2015, Just A Couple Of Months After Avengers 2

September 10, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

ant-man-comic-con-logoMarvel has decided that Summer is the best time for new superheroes, as they’ve announced that the first Phase Three movie, Ant-Man, has move from a November 6th, 2015 release to July 31st, 2015. This means it will hit cinemas just a couple of months after The Avengers: Age of Ultron arrives on May 1st, 2015.

As of now, Ant-Man’s only box office competitor on that date is Fox’s adaptation Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children, directed by Tim Burton. There are no specific plot details known about Ant-Man, although it will presumably cover the origin of Hank Pym’s transformation into the title character, so can change from normal size to tiny.

Edgar Wright is directing from a screenplay he co-wrote with Joe Cornish (Attack the Block). He’s promised a different kind of Marvel movie, and while he’s said it will standalone, the move in release date will have many wondering if it’s more closely tied to Avengers 2 than it’s so far been revealed.
