Gorgeous Annie Liebovitz Les Miserables Images Online

November 13, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

If you want a gorgeous looking photo, there are few people better to go to than Annie Liebovitz, whose sharp eye rarely goes wrong. She also has a great way of making things look classic and romantic, so she’s the perfect person to shoot a series of portraits for the upcoming Les Miserables, which she photographed for Vogue and are now online.

They are beautiful pictures and hopefully Tom Hooper’s movie will look just as good.

Here’s the film’s synopsis: ‘Les Misérables is the motion-picture adaptation of the beloved global stage sensation seen by more than 60 million people in 42 countries and in 21 languages around the globe and still breaking box-office records everywhere in its 27th year. Helmed by The King’s Speech’s Academy Award®-winning director, Tom Hooper, the Working Title/Cameron Mackintosh production stars Hugh Jackman, Oscar® winner Russell Crowe, Anne Hathaway, Amanda Seyfried, Eddie Redmayne, Aaron Tveit, Samantha Barks, with Helena Bonham Carter and Sacha Baron Cohen.

‘Set against the backdrop of 19th-century France, Les Misérables tells an enthralling story of broken dreams and unrequited love, passion, sacrifice and redemption—a timeless testament to the survival of the human spirit. Jackman plays ex-prisoner Jean Valjean, hunted for decades by the ruthless policeman Javert (Crowe) after he breaks parole. When Valjean agrees to care for factory worker Fantine’s (Hathaway) young daughter, Cosette, their lives change forever.

‘In January 2012, the world’s longest-running musical brings its power to the big screen in Tom Hooper’s sweeping and spectacular interpretation of Victor Hugo’s epic tale. With international superstars and beloved songs—including “I Dreamed a Dream,” “Bring Him Home,” “One Day More” and “On My Own”—Les Misérables, the show of shows, is now reborn as the cinematic musical experience of a lifetime.’

Anne Hathaway Confirmed For Spielberg’s Robopocalypse

November 13, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

With Lincoln now in US cinemas, Steven Spielberg can go full steam ahead with Robopocalypse. In the last few months he signed Chris Hemsworth for the lead and it was revealed Anne Hathaway was in talks to join him. Now the actress has confirmed that she’ll be part of the film.

She’s told Empire, “If Robopocalypse happens I will be in it, and I believe it’s quite real, though you never want to hang your hat on anything.”

While she makes it sound like there’s a lot of uncertainty over whether Robopocalype will happen, it’s likely that’s more due to the inherent unpredictability of the movie business rather than any knowledge that Spielberg’s film might implode at any moment.

On being cast, Hathaway says, “Whenever I’m taking time off, I always joke to my team that I’m on vacation unless Steven Spielberg calls. And I was on vacation and Spielberg called. So I was like, ‘OK, put my money where my mouth is’.”

The last we heard the plan is for the movie to begin principal photography in early 2013, with a release date already set of April 25th, 2014. Exploring the fate of the human race following a robot uprising, Robopocalypse has been adapted for the screen by Drew Goddard (Cloverfield), based on the novel of the same name by Daniel H. Wilson.

Eight New Oz The Great & Powerful Pics Arrive

November 13, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

March seems an odd time to release a great big fantasy movie like Oz The Great And Powerful, but Disney had great success at that time with Alice In Wonderland, and while the March release of John Carter didn’t work out so well, they’re sticking with it for Oz. As a result they’re really getting going on the marketing, to ensure everyone knows its coming before Sam Raimi’s movie hits cinemas.

Now a octet of new images from the movie have been released many of which come from USA Today, showing us beautiful witches and James Franco having a chat with a china doll. Oh, and there’s a monkey bellboy too! There are also four pics showing off the beautiful fantasy landscapes, suggesting this is going to be a very beautiful Oz.

The USA Today articles also has Raimi talking a little about the movie, saying, “[Franco’s character Oscar Diggs] is mistaken for Oz the Great and Powerful, destined to be the next king of Emerald City. But he’s only to receive that title if he can defeat the Wicked Witch.”

He also comments on the pic of Franco and the doll, “Everything in the land, the houses and people made of china, have been broken by the Wicked Witch and her army. Oscar find the pieces of this china doll and puts them together, and hence the China Girl (voiced by Joey King) is saved. He’s telling her she has to go back to the Emerald City, where she’ll be well taken care of. But she won’t have any of it. He’s going to learn by the end of this scene that he’s not the only huckster in the bunch.”

Franco stars alongside Michelle Williams, Mila Kunis and Rachel Weisz. Expect it in cinemas March 8th, and a new trailer is due soon. Click on the pics below for larger versions.

Final US Django Unchained Poster Debuts

November 13, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment


The world seems to be broken into factions, some of whom are most excited about The Hobbit being released in the next couple of months and some who can’t wait Quentin Tarantino’s new movie, Django Unchained. The film hits the US on December 25th and comes to the UK on January 18th.

With those dates fast approaching, the final US theatrical poster for the movie has now arrives via Yahoo! Movies. It sees Jamie Foxx, Christoph Waltz and Leo DiCaprio all looking pretty moody.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Set in the South two years before the Civil War, Django Unchained stars Academy Award-winner Jamie Foxx as Django, a slave whose brutal history with his former owners lands him face-to-face with German-born bounty hunter Dr. King Schultz (Christoph Waltz). Schultz is on the trail of the murderous Brittle brothers, and only Django can lead him to his bounty. The unorthodox Schultz acquires Django with a promise to free him upon the capture of the Brittles – dead or alive.

‘Success leads Schultz to free Django, though the two men choose not to go their separate ways. Instead, Schultz seeks out the South’s most wanted criminals with Django by his side. Honing vital hunting skills, Django remains focused on one goal: finding and rescuing Broomhilda (Kerry Washington), the wife he lost to the slave trade long ago.

‘Django and Schultz’s search ultimately leads them to Calvin Candie (Leonardo DiCaprio), the proprietor of “Candyland,” an infamous plantation where slaves are groomed by trainer Ace Woody (Kurt Russell) to battle each other for sport. Exploring the compound under false pretenses, Django and Schultz arouse the suspicion of Stephen (amuel L. Jackson), Candie’s trusted house slave. Their moves are marked, and a treacherous organization closes in on them. If Django and Schultz are to escape with Broomhilda, they must choose between independence and solidarity, between sacrifice and survival.’

Sean Penn Going Assassin For The Prone Gunman

November 13, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Sean Penn isn’t an actor who we normally thing of when it comes to action movies, but it seems he wants to try one out, as THR reports that he has joined a planned adaptation of Jean-Patrick Manchette’s action novel The Prone Gunman.

The book is about a hired gun called Martin Terrier, who is trying to retire from his profession (why are assassins always trying to retire in movies?). After his failed attempt to leave his chosen life, he ends up in a brutal cat-and-mouse chase across Europe. Manchette’s book has been described as existentialist, as much a look at the human condition as an action film – which is probably what Penn likes.

Peter Travis is set to write the script, although it’s not known whne it might shoot.

Saw Helmer James Wan Eyes MacGyver Movie

November 13, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

For years there’s been talk of making a movie based on the 80s action series MacGyver, and now things are moving forward once again with the news James Wan, director of Saw and Insidious, has entered negotiations to direct the film for New Line.

The movie has been stuck in development since May 2010, when the studio hired Jason Richman (Bangkok Dangerous, Swing Vote) to write the screenplay. Brian Gunn and Mark Gunn (Journey 2: The Mysterious Island) have provided the most recent script revisions. The whole thing was almost derailed by the spoof film MacGruber, which even led to the creator of MacGyver suing that film saying it was based on his rights and they were trying to get around it by changing the name.

The original MacGyver TV series, which ran from 1985 to 1992, starred Richard Dean Anderson as the title character, a secret agent working for The Phoenix Foundation. Although he never carried a gun, MacGyver used his innate technical know-how to defeat the bad guys with a variety of weapons he builds himself.

It isn’t known when the movie version might shoot. (Source: Variety)

Mental Trailer – Toni Collette reunites with the director of Muriel’s Wedding

November 12, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment


Having Toni Collette as your nanny sounds like it’d be quite fun, but in Mental she certainly shakes up a family where all the daughters think they’re mental. The film sees her reunite with director PJ Hogan for the first time since Muriel’s Wedding. Here’s the synopsis: ‘The Moochmore girls are certain they all suffer from some kind of undiagnosed mental illness – because if they’re not crazy then they’re just unpopular. Their mother Shirley (Rebecca Gibney) – unable to cope with her demanding daughters and unsupported by her philandering politician husband, Barry (Anthony LaPaglia) – suffers a nervous breakdown. After Barry commits his wife to a mental hospital (telling his constituents that “she’s on holiday”) he finds himself alone with 5 teenage girls he barely knows. Desperate, he impulsively picks up a hitchhiker named Shaz (Collette) and installs her in his home as nanny to his daughters.’ The movie is out on November 16th.

Eric Bana Might Beware The Night For Director Scott Derrickson

November 12, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Scott Derrickson just scored a big hit with Sinister and it appears he planning to stay in paranormal chiller territory, as The Wrap reports Eric Bana is in talks to star in Derrickson’s upcoming film, Beware The Night.

Derrickson is set to both direct and co-write (with Paul Boardman) the paranormal police thriller, which follows a New York police officer investigating real life demon possessions, exorcisms and werewolves after dark. Mark Wahlberg was previously under consideration for the lead role, but he passed and so now Eric Bana has entered negotiations.

It isn’t known how close Bana is to signing on or when the movie might go into production.

Ty Burrell Signs Up To Be Bill Hader’s Ex-Boyfriend In Skeleton Twins

November 12, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Ty Burrell has gained a lot of fans thank to play Phil Dunphy in Modern Family, but he’s had less success in film (even if he’s been popping up in things for years, such as Evolution, Black Hawk Down and Dawn Of The Dead). However he’ll be hoping he has better luck when he plays gay in Skeleton Twins.

Just last week we reported that Kristen Wiig and Bill Hader signed up to star in the movie, playing Maggie (Wiig) and Milo (Hader), who are twins who went their separate ways years ago, but when they coincidentally cheat death on the same day, the shock makes them reunite and figure out how their lives went wrong. Maggie starts to re-examine her marriage to nature-loving slacker Lance (Luke Wilson), while the gay Milo goes to visit old flame Rich (Burrell).

It’s not an easy reunion for the old lovers though, as Rich was fired when his affair with Milo was uncovered. This pushed him even further into the closet and so when they meet again, Rich is married to a woman and working in a bookstore.

The movie starts shooting in New York later this month. (Source: Variety)

David S Goyer Takes On Patrick Lee’s Novel The Breach

November 12, 2012 By Tim Isaac 1 Comment

David S. Goyer and Lorenzo di Bonaventura have decided to team up to produce an adaptation of Patrick Lee’s doomsday novel The Breach, according to Variety. David S. Goyer, who’s best known for writing the likes of the Dark Knight movie and Man Of Steel, may direct as well, although nothing is set in stone yet.

Justin Rhodes is set to write the adapted screenplay, which will apparently divert heavily from the novel. The book is about an ex-cop caught in a race against time to stop an ancient artifact from bringing on the apocalypse. No details were given regarding how the adaptation may differ from the source material.

While Goyer has mainly produced and written screenplays in recent years, he has also directed thrillers such as The Unborn, The Invisible, and Blade: Trinity, and it’s known he has been looking for new directing projects. It isn’t known when The Breach may go into production.
