Europa Report Trailer – Sharlto Copley heads for Jupiter’s moons

May 18, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment


Europa Report has been flying under the radar, but on the evidence of this trailer, there’s a decent chance it’ll be a sleeper success, with Sharlto Copley and Michael Nyqvist heading into space.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Europa Report follows a contemporary mission to Jupiter’s moon Europa to investigate the possible existence of alien life within our solar system. When unmanned probes suggest that a hidden ocean could exist underneath Europa’s icy surface and may contain single-celled life, Europa Ventures, a privately funded space exploration company, sends six of the best astronauts from around the world to confirm the data and explore the revolutionary discoveries that may lie in the Europan ocean. After a near-catastrophic technical failure that leads to loss of communication with Earth and the tragic death of a crewmember, the surviving astronauts must overcome the psychological and physical toll of deep space travel, and survive a discovery on Europa more profound than they had ever imagined.’

The film is out in the US in August 2nd, but no UK date has been set yet. [Read more…]

May 18, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Marton-CsokasAfter years of trying, it seems like the film adaptation of The Equalizer is finally going to happen, with Marton Csokas (Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter) signing on to play the main villain, opposite Denzel Washington and Chloe Moretz.

He is forced to spring back into action when an act of kindness towards a teenage prostitute (Chloe Moretz) lands him in hot water with the Russian mafia. Marton Csokas will play a deadly fixer for the Russian mob.

Antoine Fuqua is set direct from a screenplay by Richard Wenk (The Expendables 2). The movie is based on the 1980s TV series The Equalizer, starring Edward Woodward. Production is scheduled to begin this summer in Boston.

New Pacific Rim Trailer – Guillermo Del Toro’s cancels the apocalypse in truly epic style

May 17, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment


In a summer filled with sequels and movies based on known properties, the original movie that’s looking the most exciting is definitely Pacific Rim, and the latest trailer suggests this is going to be a movie told on a truly epic scale. Indeed it’s look pretty awesome.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘When legions of monstrous creatures, known as Kaiju, started rising from the sea, a war began that would take millions of lives and consume 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 whose minds are locked in a neural bridge. But even the Jaegers are proving nearly defenseless in the face of the relentless Kaiju. 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.’

The movie opens July 12th. [Read more…]

Last Vegas Teaser Trailer – De Niro, Douglas & Freeman star in the ‘old boys Hangover’

May 17, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment


Last Vegas has been described as the ‘old boys Hangover’ with the likes of Robert De Niro, Morgan Freeman, Michael Douglas and Kevin Kline (who are all, incidentally, Oscar winners) heading to Vegas and inevitably getting into trouble. Now the first teaser trailer has arrived.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Billy (Michael Douglas), Paddy (Robert De Niro), Archie (Morgan Freeman) and Sam (Kevin Kline) have been best friends since childhood. So when Billy, the group’s sworn bachelor, finally proposes to his thirty-something (of course) girlfriend, the four head to Las Vegas with a plan to stop acting their age and relive their glory days. However, upon arriving, the four quickly realize that the decades have transformed Sin City and tested their friendship in ways they never imagined. The Rat Pack may have once played the Sands and Cirque du Soleil may now rule the Strip, but it’s these four who are taking over Vegas.’

It should hit cinemas on November. [Read more…]

The Hangover Part III Red-Band Trailer – The boys are back and as rude as ever

May 17, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment


Next week The Hangover trilogy comes to an end with The Hangover Part III, which sees the Wolf Pack back in Las Vegas. To ensure fans are excited, a new red band trailer has been released.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘It’s been two years. Phil (Bradley Cooper), Stu (Ed Helms) and Doug (Justin Bartha) are happily living uneventful lives at home. Tattoos have been lasered off, files purged. The last they heard from disaster-magnet Leslie Chow (Ken Jeong), he’d been tossed into a Thai prison and, with him out of the way, the guys have very nearly recovered from their nights prowling the seamy side of Las Vegas in a roofie’d haze, and being kidnapped, shot at, and chased by drug- dealing mobsters in Bangkok.

‘The only member of the Wolfpack who’s not content is Alan (Zach Galifianakis). Still lacking a sense of purpose, the group’s black sheep has ditched his meds and given in to his natural impulses in a big way-which, for Alan, means no boundaries, no filters and no judgment-until a personal crisis forces him to finally seek the help he needs.

‘And who better than his three best friends to make sure he takes the first step. This time, there’s no bachelor party. No wedding. What could possibly go wrong? But when the Wolfpack hits the road, all bets are off. One way or another…it all ends here.’

It opens May 23rd.

Anna Kendrick Joins Zach Braff’s Wish I Was Here

May 17, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Anna-Kendrick3Zach Braff’s Wish I Was Here is proving slightly controversial, with some not liking the idea of him going to Kickstarter to get funding. The voices of discontent grew after it was revealed that after raising $2.6 million from crowd-funding – with none of the donors having a financial stake in the film – he then got another $8 million from traditional sources.

Whether Braff was right or not, he’s now busy filling out the cast. Mandy Patinkin signed up earlier this week, and now TheWrap reports that Anna Kendrick has also signed up to star.

The film is about 35-year-old Aidan (Zach Braff), an actor who is struggling to provide for his family. When his ailing father (Mandy Patinkin) can no longer afford to pay for his young children’s private school, Aidan reluctantly agrees to home school them, learning a lot about himself in the process.

Josh Gad is set to to play Aidan’s brother, who falls for a young woman (Kendrick) who enjoys cosplay. It’s also been suggested Jim Parsons and Braff’s Scrubs co-star Donald Faison should appear.

Kendrick’s next movie is the comedy Rapture-palooza, which hits cinemas this summer. It’s about the people left behind when the biblical Rapture comes, taking the righteous to Heaven and leaving everyone else to deal with the end of times. A new poster has now popped up online, which you can see below.

Emily Blunt May Go Into the Woods Alongside Meryl Streep & Johnny Depp

May 17, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

emily-bluntWith a plot that involves a journey where the main characters meet various fairytale characters along the way, a film version of Stephen Sondheim’s musical, Into The Woods, has plenty of room for star turns. It already has Meryl Streep as an evil witch, Johnny Depp going big bad wolf, and just the other day Chris Pine and Jake Gyllenhaal entered negotiations to play some pompous princes.

Now someone else has entered talks to show off their singing skills in the movie, as Variety reports that Emily Blunt is in final talks for one of the lead roles. Into The Woods follows a baker and his wife who try to break a curse placed that’s left them childless, by confronting the witch (Streep) who caused their trouble in the first place. Assuming she signs on the dotted line, Blunt will be the baker’s wife.

Rob Marshall is set to direct, with filming kicking off later this year. There’s also still plenty of space for more movie stars doing a musical turn, as the likes of Rapunzel, Cinderella, and Little Red Riding Hood are still to be cast.

Bruce Willis Up For Ticking Clock Thriller Expiration

May 17, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

bruce-willisBruce Willis is one of the busiest men in Hollywood. He always has a full slate of film and now he’s added one more, as Variety reports that he has signed up to star in the thriller Expiration.

Broken City scripter Brian Tucker wrote the screenplay, which is about an assassin who gets poisoned and must race against the clock to find a cure, to get his revenge before he ‘expires’. So it’s basically DOA, except with a hitman.

No director is set yet, although it’s reported that negotiations are underway with somebody who’s name has not yet been revealed. There’s still some time to sort all that out, as the script is still being worked on and it’s unlikely to start shooting until next year.

Michelle Yeoh Back For Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon 2

May 17, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

michelle-yeoh-crouching-tigerFor a while now, The Weinstein Company has been planning a sequel to Crouching Tiger. Now they’ve announced that Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon II – The Green Destiny will begin in March 2014 in Asia. Woo-ping Yuen is set to direct with Donnie Yen starring as Silent Wolf and Michelle Yeoh reprising her role as Yu Shu Lien.

The screenplay is based on Iron Knight, Silver Vase by Du Lu Wang, book 5 in the Crane-Iron Pentalogy series, on which the original Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon was based. John Fusco (Forbidden Kingdom, Hidalgo, Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron) is on screenplay dut.

Producer Harvey Weinstein commented, “I loved Ang Lee’s film. I thought it was a master class in directing, but I know we are in fantastic hands with Woo-ping Yuen directing the second installment of Crouching Tiger. Master Yuen worked with me on Iron Monkey, Kill Bill and now The Grandmaster. He is a first-class director and choreographer, and I am thrilled to be teaming up with him once more. With John Fusco’s incredible script and the dream team of Donnie Yen and Michelle Yeoh we are in great shape.”
