New Poster For Joseph Gordon Levitt’s Don Jon Released

June 26, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

don-john-poster
Joseph Gordon-Levitt’s first film as writer and director, Don Jon, is due out towards the end of the year, but to help keep it in people’s minds, a new poster has been released, featuring JGL looking very clean-cut as the title character.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Jon Martello (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) is a strong, handsome, good old-fashioned guy. His buddies call him Don Jon due to his ability to “pull” a different woman every weekend, but even the finest fling doesn’t compare to the bliss he finds alone in front of the computer watching pornography. Barbara Sugarman (Scarlett Johansson) is a bright, beautiful, good old-fashioned girl.

‘Raised on romantic Hollywood movies, she’s determined to find her Prince Charming and ride off into the sunset. Wrestling with good old-fashioned expectations of the opposite sex, Jon and Barbara struggle against a media culture full of false fantasies to try and find true intimacy in this unexpected comedy written and directed by Joseph Gordon-Levitt.’

Jeff Goldblum & Bill Pullman Back For Independence Day Sequel

June 26, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

jeff-goldblumA couple of days ago, Roland Emmerich said that Will Smith wouldn’t be back for the planned sequel to Independence Day as he was simply too expensive, but he did promise many of the original cast members would return.

Now Movies.com has been pressing Emmerich for news on who will be back, with the director telling them that both Jeff Goldblum, who played the genius David Levinson, and Bill Pullman, who was President Thomas Whitmore, will return. It’s not a surprise that Pullman is back, as he’s suggested as much himself, but many were wondering about Goldblum.

There’s still not much info on the plot of the film, believed to be called ID Forever, or how Goldblum and Pullman fit into it, although Emmerich has previously said its set 20 years after the first film and explores the repercussion of the alien attack.

There’s also no info on any of the other original cast, such as Judd Hirsch and Mary McDonell will return as well. Fox recently set a July 3rd, 2015 release date for the movie.

Knight Rider Movie Gets A Screenwriter

June 26, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

knight-rider-1980sOver the years there’s been a lot of talk of bringing the classic 1980s TV series Knight Rider to the big screen, but it’s never happened. Instead they attempted a television reboot in 2008, with Justin Bruening as the estranged son of David Hasselhoff’s character from the original and Val Kilmer as the voice of KITT, the super-advanced talking car. However that didn’t last very long.

Now The Weinstein Company, which owns the movie rights to Knight Rider, is having another go at a movie version, according to The LA Times. They’ve hired Brad Copeland to come up with the script. Copeland has both film and TV experience as a writer and producer on the likes of Arrested Development and the recent US version of The Inbetweeners, as well as coming up for the script for Wild Hogs.

There’s no news on the exact direction Copeland will be taking for the movie, although it’ll apparently be ‘a somewhat higher-budget, more action-oriented’ film. In the original series, David Hasselhoff starred as Michael Long, a police officer who was shot and left for dead while working on a case. Discovered by a mysterious millionaire named Wilton Knight, Long is nursed back to health and reborn as Michael Knight. The benefactor gives Michael with all sorts of tech to fight crime, the most valuable piece being the Knight Industries Two Thousand, a.k.a. KITT, a talking car.

Whether this new attempt to make a Knight Rider movie will actually come to fruition remains to be seen.

June 26, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

There’s no news on exactly who Hoffman will be playing, but he joins a cast that also includes Noomi Rapace, Gary Oldman, Joel Kinnaman, Paddy Considine, and Fares Fares. Filming recently began in Prague, with a 2014 release being eyed.

James Badge Dale Going For A Stretch In Joe Carnahan’s Film

June 26, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

James-Badge-DaleJames Badge Dale’s star has slowly been rising thanks to the likes of Shame and The Grey, and this year’s he’s got the impressive trio of Iron Man 3, World War Z and The Lone Ranger. Now he’s signed up for Joe Carnahan’s new movie, Stretch, according to Variety.

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 is also onboard to play the man’s limo driver colleague.

Unfortunately there’s no news on exactly who James Badge Dale will play. Shooting on the movie is set to begin on June 30th in LA.

June 26, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Willow Creek Trailer – Bobcat Goldthwait helms a found footage bigfoot flick

June 25, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment


Bobcat Goldthwait may be best known to many as a comedian and as Zed in the Police Academy movies, but he’s also got himself a cult following as the director of film like Sleeping Dogs and God Bless America. Now he’s back with a micro-budget found footage horror, Willow Creek.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Jim and his girlfriend Kelly are in Willow Creek, California, to retrace the steps of Bigfoot researchers Patterson and Gimlin, who, in 1967, recorded the most famous film of the legendary monster. Kelly is a skeptic, along for the ride to spend time with her boyfriend between acting gigs. Jim, a believer, hopes to capture footage of his own, so his camera is constantly rolling.’

The movie apparently has more humour than the trailer suggests. No release date is currently set, but the film is playing at film festivals.

Oh and the prurient amongst you may want to look out for some very brief male nudity in the trailer above! [Read more…]

Adrien Brody Planning An American Heist Alongside Hayden Christensen

June 25, 2013 By Tim Isaac 1 Comment

adrien-brodyWe haven’t seen much of Hayden Christensen recently, but he’s now set up Glacier Films with a fairly large slate of films he plans to produce and/or star in. One of the first of those is American Heist, which TheWrap reports now has some company for Hayden on-board in the form of Adrien Brody, Jordana Brewster and rapper-turned-actor Akon.

The film, which is a remake of the 1959 Steve McQueen movie St. Louis Bank Robbery, ‘follows two brothers with checkered pasts who get involved in an ill-fated bank robbery spearheaded by a gang of dangerous criminals. The heist tests the strength of their sibling bond and how far they will go for family.’

Sarik Andreasyan will direct the movie, which should go into production fairly soon. This will be the first of an enormous 11 movie movies Glacier plans to release in the next three years, so perhaps this is the beginning of Hayden Christensen movie mogul.

Toby Kebbell Or Jack Huston Could Be Frankenstein, Opposite Daniel Radcliffe’s Igor

June 25, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

toby-kebbellFor quite a while now, Daniel Radcliffe has been attached to 20th Century Fox’s upcoming version of Frankenstein. While the studio recently announced a release date of October 17th, 2014, there’s been no news on the rest of the cast, which is perhaps surprising as Radcliffe is playing what’s normally a side character, Igor.

However Deadline reports they’re now looking for the actor who will play Dr. Victor Frankenstein, with the two men currently leading the pack being Toby Kebbell and Jack Huston. However there’s no guarantee it’ll be either, as Fox is also looking elsewhere.

Kebbell, who made his first film appearance in the 2004 British crime thriller Dead Man Shoes, isn’t a big name, but has popped up in Oliver Stone’s Alexander, Woody Allen’s Match Point, Guy Ritchie’s Rocknrolla, and Steven Spielberg’s War Horse. Many expect his star to rise next year with a major role in Fox’s Dawn of the Planet of the Apes.

Jack Huston (who is the nephew of Anjelica Huston and Danny Huston, and grandson of director John Huston), is perhaps best known for playing the scarred Richard Harrow on HBO’s Boardwalk Empire. He previously worked with Radcliffe on the upcoming Kill Your Darlings, in which the two actors play Jack Kerouac and Allen Ginsberg, respectively.

Fox is hoping to sign someone within the next couple of weeks.

Chronicle’s Max Landis wrote the script for this new take on Frankenstein, with Paul McGuigan (Push) set to direct.
