Thanks For Sharing Trailer – Mark Ruffalo & Gwyneth Paltrow deal with sex addiction

June 27, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment


If you thought we’d dealt with sex addiction on screen with Choke and Shame, you were wrong, as it’s now getting a slightly comic treatment from The Kids Are All Right director Stuart Blumberg.

Mark Ruffalo, Gwyneth Paltrow, Josh Gad, Tim Robbins, Joely Richardson, Carol Caine, Patrick Fugit and Alecia Moore (aka Pink) star in the movie, which is about group of characters who are all suffering from sex addiction. Meeting regularly for support sessions, each of them struggles with their own personal demons as it effects their personal lives, including their families, friends, and significant others.

The film debuted at last year’s Toronto International Film Festival, but it won’t arrive in US cinemas until September 20th. No UK date is currently set.

Cameron Diaz To Be Annie’s Miss Hannigan After Sandra Bullock Steps Away

June 27, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

cameron-diazCameron Diaz is set to be giving people a hard knock life as THR reports that she’s closed a deal to play evil orphanage owner Miss Hannigan in Sony’s updated version of Annie. Recently it was reported that Sandra Bullock was in talks for the role, but ultimately a deal couldn’t be struck and so Diaz has stepped in.

Of course, Miss Hannigan is the unpleasant, scheming woman who runs the orphanage that Annie (Quvenzhané Wallis) lives in before being taken in by Daddy Warbucks (Jamie Foxx). Carol Burnett played Miss Hannigan in the 1982 films version of Annie.

Will Smith and Jay-Z are producing the movie and have been working behind the screen to update the music. Will Gluck is set to direct the movie from a screenplay that he is currently rewriting. Emma Thompson wrote the original draft, which was rewritten by Aline Brosh McKenna.

Keira Knightley To Produce & Star In The Other Typist

June 27, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Keira-KnightleyKeira Knightley is turning producer, as THR reports that she’s planning to produce and star in an adaptation of Suzanne Rindell’s novel The Other Typist, with Fox Searchlight set to back to the movie.

The book is about ‘Rose, a lonely and isolated typist in a police precinct who strikes up a friendship with a beautiful and mysterious co-worker who introduces her to the glamorous and forbidden underworld of 1920s New York.’

It’s still early days though, as no one has been set to write the script, and it doesn’t appear a director has signed up yet either. This will be Knightley’s first attempt to produce, so hopefully it’ll go well for her.

Joe Anderson Joins Dwayne Johnson In Hercules

June 27, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

joe-andersonBritish actor Joe Anderson is one of those people many have expected to break into the big time, but despite roles in Across The Universe, The Grey, The Crazies and Breaking Dawn Part 2, it hasn’t ever fully happened for him. However now he’s got another high profile role, as Variety reports that he’s joined the cast of Brett Ratner’s Hercules.

The film is based on the Radical Publishing graphic novel that takes a different approach to the Greek god, taking out many of the supernatural elements. Instead of being the son of Zeus, Hercules is a fierce mortal who is feared by many. When he leads his group of mercenaries on their latest mission, the job turns out to be much more complicated that previously imagined.

Dwayne Johnson is set for the title roles, with the likes of Ian McShane, John Hurt, Rufus Sewell, Joseph Fiennes, Aksel Hennie, Tobias Santelmann, Rebecca Ferguson and Ingrid Bolso Berdal also set to star. Anderson will play a marathon runner who sneaks around and brings news of enemy movements to Hercules and his crew.

Filming has already started in Budapest, with a July 25th 2014 release set. Before then we’ll be able to see Anderson starring opposite Daniel Radcliffe in Horns.

David Hasselhoff & Ray Liotta To Play Themselves In Stretch

June 27, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

david-hasselhoffJust yesterday we reported that James Badge Dale had joined the likes of Patrick Wilson, Chris Pine, Brooklyn Decker and Ed Helms in Joe Carnahan’s Stretch. Now the cast has expanded some more, with TheWrap reporting that Ray Liotta and David Hasselhoff have signed on to play versions of themselves in the flick, with Shane Toub also set to appear.

The film is about a downtrodden man (Patrick Wilson) who becomes the limo driver for an eccentric billionaire (Chris Pine). What he doesn’t know is that his boss is about to make his life a living hell. As the limo drives around, what the driver doesn’t know is that the billionaire is trying to sell a list of his criminal associates to the highest bidder, which means there are some very dangerous people looking for the car. Ed Helms will be the man’s limo driver colleague.

There’s no info on exactly how Liotta and Hasselhoff will fit into the film. It’s due to start shooting at the end of the month.

Vin Diesel Taking A Meeting At Marvel, But What For?

June 27, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

riddick-vin-diesel-shirtlessNormally early negotiations for films are hidden away from public sight and we only get to hear about them when people are close to signing on the dotted line. However Vin Diesel is a man who like to share, so he’d let us know, via Facebook that, “Marvel has requested a meeting… no idea what for… haha, you probably know better than me…”

It’s pretty much begging for speculation as to what role they want him for. Marvel Phase Two movies Guardians of the Galaxy and The Avengers 2 have not gone into production yet, neither has the only confirmed Marvel Phase Three movie, Ant-Man, so theoretically it could be one of them.

Other projects in development include Doctor Strange, Black Panther, and, much further down the line, The Avengers 3. Inevitably much of the speculation has Diesel as the African chief of the Panther Tribe of the advanced nation of Wakanda, T’Chall, aka Black Panther. However at this stage it’s purely speculation.

Pacific Rim – At The Edge Trailer – Loads more action from the massive monster movie

June 26, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment


It’s not long until Pacific Rim hits cinemas on July 12th. Now Warner Bros has released a new, action-packed trailer, featuring more monster action and giant robots than we’ve seen before.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘From acclaimed filmmaker Guillermo del Toro, and starring Idris Elba, Charlie Hunnam, Rinko Kikuchi and Ron Perlman, comes the sci-fi action adventure, Warner Bros. Pictures’ and Legendary Pictures’ PACIFIC RIM.

‘When legions of monstrous creatures, known as Kaiju, started rising from the sea, a war began that took millions of lives and consumed humanity’s resources for years on end. To combat the giant Kaiju, a special type of weapon was devised: massive robots, called Jaegers, which are controlled simultaneously by two pilots. But in the face of the relentless Kaiju, even the Jaegers prove defenseless.

‘On the verge of defeat, the forces defending mankind have no choice but to turn to two unlikely heroes – a washed up former pilot (Charlie Hunnam) and an untested trainee (Rinko Kikuchi) – who are teamed to drive a legendary but seemingly obsolete Jaeger from the past. Together, they stand as mankind’s last hope against the mounting apocalypse.’ [Read more…]

The Counselor Teaser – Brief look at Michael Fassbender & Brad Pitt in Ridley Scott’s movie

June 26, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment


The Counselor isn’t out until October, but it seems Fox wants us all to be impressed by its style and pedigree, so they’ve released a short teaser showing off the star names both in front of and behind the camera.

Directed by Ridley Scott from a script by Cormac McCarthy, the film stars Michael Fassbender, Penélope Cruz, Cameron Diaz, Javier Bardem, Brad Pitt and John Leguizamo.

The movie tells the story of a lawyer (Fassbender), who finds himself in over his head when he gets involved in drug trafficking. And as this teaser shows, it’s all going to be looking extremely slick (and with pet cheetahs, which is a bonus). [Read more…]

Fresh One Direction: This Is Us Trailer – The boys can’t help but get shirtless and slightly homoerotic

June 26, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment


Acclaimed documentary filmmaker Morgan Spurlock (Super Size Me) has been following the One Direction Boys around for This Is Us.

As you probably know, One Direction – Niall Horan, Zayn Malik, Liam Payne, Harry Styles and Louis Tomlinson – were discovered by Simon Cowell on the The X Factor in 2010. The band quickly gained a following to become one of the competition’s all-time most popular acts, finishing in the final three and garnering a gigantic and loyal fanbase along the way. In March 2012, One Direction’s debut album, Up All Night, made US history, as it was the first time a UK group’s debut album entered the U.S. Billboard 200 chart at No. 1. The band has now sold over 29 million records worldwide.

There’s a lot of love out there for the boys, which Sony Pictures is hoping will follow-them into cinemas for this mix of concert footage and behind-the-scenes look at the lads’ lives. It’ll hit UK cinemas on August 29th. [Read more…]

New Percy Jackson: Sea Of Monsters Trailer – Logan Lerman & the demi-gods return

June 26, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment


Logan Lerman, Alexandra Daddario and Brandon T. Jackson are back, and this time Percy Jackson, the son of Poseidon, continues his epic journey to fulfill his destiny, as he teams with his demigod friends to retrieve the Golden Fleece, which has the power to save their home and training ground, Camp Half-Blood.

Now a new trailer has been released for the movie, which actually looks pretty fun, if a little nutty.

The movie is out August 16th, when it will hope to beat the rather lacklustre box office of its predecessor.
