April 23, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Robert De Niro and Shia LaBeouf Up For Spy’s Kid

April 23, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

shia-labeoufShia LaBeouf may have said he’s done with Hollywood movies, but that doesn’t mean he’s completely eschewing commercial filmmaking, as he’s now in talks to star in Spy’s Kid (which thankfully has nothing to do with Spy Kids) alongside Robert de Niro, according to THR. The film will reunite D.J. Caruso, after they made 2008’s Eagle Eye together.

The film is set in the world of espionage, based on a series of true-life articles that ran in the Oregonian. Robert De Niro and Shia LaBeouf will play a father and son duo, with the story revolving around a traitorous spy who enlists his offspring to continue doing his dirty work.

Both actors’ final involvement in the project hinges on the screenplay. No writer has been hired at this time, so it’s very early days.

Thor: The Dark World Teaser Trailer – Chris Hemsworth, Natalie Portman and Tom Hiddleston return to Asgard

April 23, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment


With the release of Iron Man 3 in some parts of the world this week, Marvel is introducing us the next part of their Phase 2 onslaught – Thor: The Dark World. Interestingly, while some weren’t big fans of the Asgardian parts of the first Thor film, Marvel isn’t shying away from that part of Thor-lore. It seems the sequel will only be on Earth for a bit, so that Thor can pick up Natalie Portman and take her to Asgard.

Indeed, the sequel suggests they’re beefing up to sword and sorcery side of the superhero, with the whole thing feeling rather Arthurian. Many will also be pleased to see that Loki (Tom Hiddleston) is back too, and as he’s become a bit of a fan favourite, it’ll be interesting to see if they try to make him a bit more of a hero this time around.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Marvel’s “Thor: The Dark World” continues the big-screen adventures of Thor, the Mighty Avenger, as he battles to save Earth and all the Nine Realms from a shadowy enemy that predates the universe itself.  In the aftermath of Marvel’s “Thor” and “Marvel’s The Avengers,” Thor fights to restore order across the cosmos…but an ancient race led by the vengeful Malekith returns to plunge the universe back into darkness. Faced with an enemy that even Odin and Asgard cannot withstand, Thor must embark on his most perilous and personal journey yet, one that will reunite him with Jane Foster and force him to sacrifice everything to save us all.

‘Starring Chris Hemsworth, Natalie Portman, Tom Hiddleston, Stellan Skarsgård, Idris Elba, Christopher Eccleston, Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje, Kat Dennings, Ray Stevenson, Zachary Levi, Tadanobu Asano, and Jaimie Alexander with Rene Russo and Anthony Hopkins as Odin, Marvel’s “Thor: The Dark World” is directed by Alan Taylor, produced by Kevin Feige, from a story by Don Payne (credit not final) and screenplay by Christopher Yost and Christopher Markus & Stephen McFeely (credit not final) and is based on Marvel’s classic Super Hero Thor, who first appeared in the comic book “Journey into Mystery “ #83 in August, 1962.’

The film will hit UK cinemas October 30th.

Man Of Tai Chi Trailer – Take a look at Keanu Reeves’ directorial debut

April 22, 2013 By Tim Isaac 1 Comment


Will Keanu Reeves do a Ben Affleck and turn out to be a better director than he is an actor? We’ll get out first test of that when Man Of Tai Chi opens later this year. Now the trailer for that movie has arrived, which is a little light on plot, but certainly suggests Keanu has been channelling his inner Neo for plenty of fighting.

Indeed Keanu had plenty of Matrix help with the fights, as he hired Yuen Woo-Ping, who was the action choreographer on the Wachowski directed movies, to put the battles together. The movie is about a young martial artist (Tiger Hu Chen) who gets lured into an underground tournament in Beijing. He’s promised the chance for greatness by the scheming Reeves, but only if he survives the no rules, no referees and no-holds barred battles.

No release date has been set yet, but we should see it later this year [Read more…]

Viola Davis In Talks To Star Opposite Chris Hemsworth In Michael Mann Thriller

April 22, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Viola-DavisViola Davis scored a big hit with The Help, but we haven’t seen too much of her since then, especially as her recent movie, Beautiful Creatures, bombed at the box office. Later this year we’ll see her in The Disappearance Of Eleanor Rigby, Ender’s Game and Prisoners. Now she’s lined up another film, as Deadline reports that she’s set to star in Michael Mann’s currently untitled new thriller.

The film starts shooting in China next month, with Chris Hemsworth set for the lead role. Unfortunately not much is known about the story, except that it is set in the world of cyber threats and attacks, with American and Chinese forces working together to prevent hacking.

It’ll be Mann’s first movie since 2009’s Public Enemies, but sees him returning to the thriller genre he made his name with. It should hit cinemas sometime in 2014.

First Official Looks At Jamie Foxx & Dane DeHaan In Amazing Spider-man 2

April 22, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

amazing-spider-man-2-pic1
Last week the first set pics of Jamie Foxx in blue make-up as Electro in The Amazing Spider-man 2 popped up online. Now we’ve got our first official look at Foxx’s character, via director Marc Webb’s Twitter feed, giving us a view of him before he turns into the villainous Electro. Dane DeHaan has also tweeted out first look at him in the movie.

Foxx plays Max Dillon, a rather nerdy guy who works at Oscorp, but gets overlooked by everyone except Peter Parker, who thinks Max could be a handy source of info about the company. Dillon becomes increasingly obsessed with working with Spider-man, but it all goes wrong when a electrical mishaps gives him powers of his own. In the comics he can shoot electricity from his fingertips and manipulate electronic devices, although it hasn’t been confirmed what powers he’ll have in the movie.

DeHaan meanwhile will be Harry Osborn (previously played by James Franco in the earlier Spider-man films), the son of Norman Osborn. There hasn’t been much info on exactly how he fits into the plot, although presumably he’ll become Peter’s friend.

The film’s shooting now and will be released April 2014.

Chadwick Boseman & Ellen Burstyn Join Kevin Costner In Draft Day

April 22, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

chadwick-bosemanChadwick Boseman’s star has risen significantly in the last couple of weeks, thanks to his lead role as Jackie Robinson in 42. Now he’s got a new part, and he’s sticking with sports, as THR reports he’s is in talks to join Kevin Costner in Draft Day. The trade also adds that veteran actress Ellen Burstyn is set to star too.

Kevin Costner will play the general manager of a struggling NFL team, who grapples with his personal and professional choices one day before the NFL American Football draft. Chadwick Boseman will play the integral role of a linebacker from Louisiana, whose entire livelihood depends on his selection in the draft. Burstyn meanwhile will play Costner’s mother, whose football coach husband recently passed away. Jennifer Garner, Denis Leary, and Frank Langella are also attached to star.

Ivan Reitman is directing from a screenplay by Rajiv Joseph, which landed the top spot on the 2012 Black List. Production is scheduled to begin this week in New York, where they will capture actual footage from this year’s NFL Draft, before moving on to continue shooting in Cleveland.

Oblivion Tops The US Box Office

April 22, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

oblivion-poster3In the last few years it’s felt like Tom Cruise’s ‘king of the A-list’ crown has started to wobble, with audiences only really seeming to want to see him in Mission: Impossible movies. However it appears they don’t mind him in a bit of sci-fi either, as Oblivion has opened to a pretty good $38 million, Cruise’s highest non Mission: Impossible debut since War Of The Worlds (and his fifth highest ever).

The film was helped by the fact it was the only new movie opening in wide release, and came ahead of the summer blockbuster season, which kicks off in earnest over the next couple of weeks. That gave Oblivion a slightly clearer run, something it needed now that Tom’s face alone isn’t enough to draw in the crowds.

It was the only new entry in the top 10, but take a look below to sees how the other recent release did over the weekend.

Rank Title Weekend Gross (millions) Total Gross to date (millions)
1 Oblivion $38.1 $38.1
2 42 $18.0 $54.0
3 The Croods $9.5 $154.8
4 Scary Movie 5 $6.2 $22.9
5 GI Joe: Retaliation $5.7 $111.2
6 The Place Beyond The Pines $4.7 $11.4
7 Olympus Has Fallen $4.5 $88.8
8 Evil Dead (2013) $4.1 $48.4
9 Jurassic Park 3D $4.0 $38.4
10 Oz The Great And Powerful $3.0 $223.7

Star Trek Into Darkness Viral Clip – Benedict Cumberbatch gets menacing

April 20, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment


The vid above is halfway between a trailer and a clip, but whatever it is, it’s very effective in suggesting that Benedict Cumberbatch’s John Harrison is going to be one of the most formidable foes the crew of the Enterprise has ever had to face. Things are going to get personal as he faces off against Kirk and unleashes destruction against Starfleet.

Here’s the synopsis: Here’s the film’s synopsis: ‘In summer 2013, pioneering director J.J. Abrams will deliver an explosive action thriller that takes Star Trek Into Darkness. When the crew of the Enterprise is called back home, they find an unstoppable force of terror from within their own organization has detonated the fleet and everything it stands for, leaving our world in a state of crisis.

‘With a personal score to settle, Captain Kirk leads a manhunt to a war-zone world to capture a one man weapon of mass destruction. As our heroes are propelled into an epic chess game of life and death, love will be challenged, friendships will be torn apart, and sacrifices must be made for the only family Kirk has left: his crew.’

The film is out May 9th in the UK and May 17th in the US. And as you may have noticed, there’s also a new Kirk character poster, which you can see above.

Tom Hiddleston In Talks For The Crow Remake Lead

April 20, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Tom Hiddleston at The Avengers LA PremiereThe idea of remaking The Crow has had a trouble history, with the likes of Bradley Cooper, Mark Wahlberg, James McAvoy and Channing Tatum attached to star at various time, and various directors also coming and going, before F. Javier Gutierrez signed up to make the movie.

Now a new star is being lined up for the lead role, with TheWrap reporting that Tom Hiddleston is in early talks to play Eric Draven. The Crow adaptation is planned as a gritty reboot of the iconic comic book character, who returns from the grave as The Crow on a mission to avenge his wife’s murder, so that his soul can finally rest.

It seems Hiddleston hasn’t formally agreed to anything yet, so it may not come together, but he might be a good choice for the role, as long as he can cut the clipped English accent and deliver something a little grittier and more decidedly American.

Hiddleston will be seen in later this year in Thor: The Dark World, Jim Jarmusch’s Only Lovers Left Alive, and The Muppets… Again!
