Cloudy With A Chance Of Meatballs 2 Trailer – Take a look at the pun-tastic sequel

February 28, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment


Cloudy With A Chance Of Meatballs was a bigger hit than many expected, so it’s little surprise a sequel is coming. Now the first trailer for the movie has arrived, showing us just how many food puns it’s going to try and squeeze in.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2 picks up where Sony Pictures Animation’s hit comedy left off. Inventor Flint Lockwood’s genius is finally being recognized as he’s invited by his idol Chester V to join The Live Corp Company, where the best and brightest inventors in the world create technologies for the betterment of mankind. Chester’s right-hand-gal – and one of his greatest inventions – is Barb (a highly evolved orangutan with a human brain, who is also devious, manipulative and likes to wear lipstick. It’s always been Flint’s dream to be recognized as a great inventor, but everything changes when he discovers that his most infamous machine (which turns water into food) is still operating and is now creating food-animal hybrids – “foodimals!” With the fate of humanity in his hands, Chester sends Flint and his friends on a dangerously delicious mission, battling hungry tacodiles, shrimpanzees, apple pie-thons, double bacon cheespiders and other food creatures to save the world again!’

The movie is due out in the UK on October 25th, with a late September debut for the US.

Craig Brewer To Helm The Gangster Princess Of Beverly Hills

February 28, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

craig-brewerLast summer, the Rolling Stone article The Gangster Princess of Beverly Hills became a bit of a viral sensation. Now it may be heading to the movies, with Deadline reporting that Craig Brewer (Footloose) has signed on to write and direct a film version of the article for Paramount Pictures.

The article told the incredible true story of Lisette Lee, a wealthy young woman who portrayed herself to be an actress, model, singer, and even an heir to the Samsung fortune. In reality, she was actually a drug mule who was caught smuggling 500 pounds of marijuana in June 2010, which landed her a six-year prison sentence.

However many believed she was a Paris Hilton style socialite, who was living the high life in LA.

Brewer will also write the screenplay adaptation based on Sabrina Rubin Erdley’s article.

New Iron Man 3 Poster Features An Army Of Iron People

February 28, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

iron-man-3-teaser-poster4We’ve had a slew of characters posters for Iron Man 3 in the last few weeks, although it’s this one that’s definitely that’s the most interesting. That’s not due to Tony Stark looking pretty cool in the foreground, but the army of besuited Iron people in the background.

There’s no info been released on exactly how it ends up with there being lots of Iron Men, but it definitely sounds like it could be fun.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Eccentric genius, billionaire, philanthropist Tony Stark is the armored super hero known as Iron Man. Decompressing from his heroic, near-self-sacrificial action as Iron Man that saved New York City from annihilation, Tony finds himself unable to sleep and plagued by worry and trepidation. When his world is destroyed and those closest to him threatened, Tony must find a way to save them—and in the process find himself again.’

The film’s out April 26th.

February 28, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

bradley-cooper
Bradley Cooper is a busy man, who always seems to have about a hundred projects on his development slate (and unlike many actors, he actually makes the majority of moves he signs up for). Now he’s added a new one, as Deadline reports he’s developing an English-language remake of the German comedy Kokowaah, which could become his directorial debut is everything works out.

Inglorious Basterds star Til Schweiger co-wrote, directed and starred in the original, with a sequel released a few weeks ago in Germany. The first film was Germany’s highest-grossing film of 2011. Kokwaah, ‘explores the relationship between two men – carefree bachelor Henry and devoted husband and father Trevor – when they are forced to re-evaluate their lives after discovering the reality behind the paternity of Trevor’s 8-year-old daughter Maddy.’

Black List writers Scott Rothman & Rajiv Joseph are re-writing the screenplay, working from an earlier draft by Chris Shafer & Paul Vicknair.

Two New Oblivion Posters Show Off Tom Cruise & Morgan Freeman

February 28, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

oblivion-poster3
Oblivion is definitely one of the more intriguing sci-fi projects of the year. It’s not too long now until we get to see whether it’s any good or not, as the April 12th UK and April 19th US release is fast approaching.

To up the anticipation level EW has debuted two new posters for the film, showing Tom Cruise and Morgan Freeman.

In a future where the surface of the Earth is ruined, Cruise plays a man who services the drones that ensure humanity can still get the natural resources it craves, even though it has had to abandon the surface and live in the sky. However he discovers that perhaps the way he believes this new world works is a lie, and as he investigates, he becomes a target himself.

Tom Hardy Is Going To Samarkand In A New Indie Drama

February 28, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Tom Hardy in WarriorTom Hardy has been busy filling his development roster in the last few months, and now he’s got another one, as Variety reports that he’s signed up to star in the new indie drama Samarkand.

The movie is about a British SAS soldier (Tom Hardy) who returns home from a Middle East conflict. He struggles to re-acclimatise himself to civilian life, while suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder. It certainly sounds like a difficult role, showing off Hardy’s acting skills.

Greg Williams and Olly Williams wrote the screenplay, which marks their first feature project. Tom Hardy also starred in Greg Williams’ short film, Sergeant Slaughter My Big Brother, which won multiple awards for Best Director. It’s Greg who will be directing this movie, too.

The title Samarkand refers to the Uzbekistan city that is considered one of the oldest in the world.

Chris Cooper Is The New Green Goblin In The Amazing Spider-man 2

February 28, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Chris-CooperThe Amazing Spider-man 2 may have already started shooting, but that doesn’t mean we’ve stopped hearing about new additions to the cast, as THR reports that Chris Cooper has signed on to portray Norman Osborn in the movie.

While we knew that Oscorp would feature in director Marc Webb’s sequel, Norman Osborn’s casting hasn’t been confirmed until now. Dane DeHaan is playing Norman’s son Harry Osborn.

It isn’t known at this time if Norman will transform into The Green Goblin in this sequel, or if they are holding off on using that villain for The Amazing Spider-Man 3 – the THR report does specifically mention Green Goblin, but it’s unlikely he’s a main bad bad guy in this film, although it’s possible his transformation will be in the film.

Marc Webb is directing from a screenplay by Roberto Orci, Alex Kurtzman, and Jeff Pinkner. Production is currently under way in New York City.

Niels Arden Oplev Takes On Flatliners Remake

February 27, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Niels-Arden-OplevEver since his success with the original Scandinavian version of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, we’ve been waiting for Niels Arden Oplev’s next movie. He’s got Dead Man Down coming next month (in the US at least) and he’s shooting the mini-series Under The Dome, but nothing we’ve seen yet. Now he’s lining up another, as Bloody Disgusting reports he’s attached to a remake of the 1990 movie Flatliners.

A couple of years ago Sony was keen to get a new version of the Joel Schumacher movie up and running, but by mid-2011 it seemed like the idea had died. Now it’s been revived, with the Danish director attached.

The 90s version starred Julia Roberts, Kiefer Sutherland, Kevin Bacon, William Baldwin and Oliver Platt as a group of medical students who get involved in a dangerous game of one-upmanship involving stopping their heart and then waiting longer and longer to get revived. Initially they just want to see what’s on the other side, but things start getting increasingly nightmarish as visions they had when they flatlined return with them to the real world.

There’s no news on when the new version might shoot.

Emily Browning Going To Pompeii With Director Paul WS Anderson

February 27, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

emily-browningThe destruction of Pompeii in 79AD is an event that’s lived long in the public consciousness, largely due to the ruins left behind and the casts of those caught in the devastation. However while most know there was a Volcano, not that many know more than that.

Paul WS Anderson (Resident Evil, The Three Musketeers) is planning to change that, as he’s putting together Pompeii, all about the disaster. Kit Harington (Game Of Thrones) is already set to star, and now Dark Horizons reports he’ll be joined by Sucker Punch actress Emily Browning.

Pompeii revolves around the slave of a shipping tycoon (Harington) who dreams of the day he can buy his freedom and marry his master’s daughter (Browning). What the slave doesn’t know is that she’s already been promised to a corrupt Roman senator, while he’s been sold to another owner. Just when things can’t get any worse, Mt. Vesuvius erupts with the power of 40 nuclear bombs. But the slave is trapped on a ship headed for Naples, separated from his love and best friend, a gladiator who is trapped in the city’s coliseum. As fire and ash destroy the only world he’s ever known, the slave is determined to get back and rescue them.

Lee Batchler, Janet Scott Batchler and Downton Abbey creator Julian Fellowes penned the script. It’s not clear when it will shoot.
