Toby Jones & Rafe Spall Up For Jurassic World 2

November 9, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

rafe-spallIt looks like the follow-up to the mega-hit Jurassic World is getting a bit of a British infusion, as Variety reports that Toby Jones and Rafe Spall are in talks to join the movie. While there have been no details about the plot of the movie, as they are both from the UK, it’s difficult not to speculate whether they will be relative of Jurassic Park’s founder, John Hammond, originally played by the late Richard Attenborough.

Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard are both due to return for the sequel, and it’s likely they’ll soon be joined by Spall, Jones, as well as two other actors the producers are currently testing for. J.A. Bayona is set to direct, from a script by Colin Trevorrow and Derek Connolly.

Toby Jones is known for roles such as Dr. Arnim Zola in Captain America, Claudius Templesmith in The Hunger Games and David Pilcher in Wayward Pine. Rafe Spall meanwhile is known for Prometheus, Wife Of Pi and I Want It A Year.

Max Landis To Direct An American Werewolf In London Remake

November 9, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

max-landisFor a while now there’s been talk of remaking John Landis’ classic 1981 horror movie, An American Werewolf In London, but it’s found difficulty getting off the ground. When it was first mooted, some wondered whether John’s son, Max, would want to take it on.

At the time it seemed it didn’t, but now that’s changed, with THR reporting that Max Landis is set to write and direct the remake. Max has previously written the like of Chronicle and American Ultra, as well as the new US TV version of Douglas Adams’ Dirk Gently’s Holistic Detective Agency. He made his directorial debut with Me Him Her, but American Werewolf is certainly on a larger scale than that film, and his involvement will certainly have a lot of people wondering whether he can outdo his dad.

The original follows two American backpackers, who are attacked by a beast while walking on the moors. The attack kills one of them, with the survivor starting to have nightmares about hunting at night, and with other victims of the beast demanding he releases them from a curse, he begins to realise he’s become a werewolf.

The Walking Dead creator Robert Kirkman will produce the remake, although it’s not known if there will be significant changes from the original.

New Wonder Woman Trailer – Diana, princess of the Amazons, heads to the First World War

November 5, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

wonder-woman-trailer-slideGal Gadot’s Wonder Woman made quite an impression in Batman v Superman, giving many people hope that her standalone movie will be able to get the DC film universe on track after the rather messy Dawn Of Justice and Suicide Squad. The movie is going the Captain America route of taking us into the past, with time World War 1.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘“Wonder Woman” is released in cinemas around the world next summer when Gal Gadot returns as the title character in the epic action adventure from director Patty Jenkins. Before she was Wonder Woman, she was Diana, princess of the Amazons, trained to be an unconquerable warrior. Raised on a sheltered island paradise, when an American pilot crashes on their shores and tells of a massive conflict raging in the outside world, Diana leaves her home, convinced she can stop the threat. Fighting alongside man in a war to end all wars, Diana will discover her full powers…and her true destiny.

‘Joining Gadot in the international cast are Chris Pine, Connie Nielsen, Robin Wright, David Thewlis, Danny Huston, Elena Anaya, Ewen Bremner and Saïd Taghmaoui. Jenkins directs the film from a screenplay by Allan Heinberg and Geoff Johns, story by Zack Snyder & Allan Heinberg, based on characters from DC Entertainment. Wonder Woman was created by William Moulton Marston. The film is produced by Charles Roven, Zack Snyder, Deborah Snyder and Richard Suckle, with Rebecca Roven, Stephen Jones, Wesley Coller and Geoff Johns serving as executive producers. Warner Bros. Pictures presents, in association with RatPac-Dune Entertainment, an Atlas Entertainment/Cruel and Unusual production, “Wonder Woman.” The film is scheduled for release on June 2, 2017, and will be distributed worldwide by Warner Bros. Pictures, a Warner Bros. Entertainment Company.’

The LEGO Batman Movie Trailer – The little yellow Dark Knight gets his own movie

November 5, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

lego-batman-slideAfter the massive success of The LEGO Movie, Warner Bros. didn’t just put a sequel in the works, but also started planning films based on LEGO Batman and Ninjago. The first of those to arrive is The LEGO Batman Movie, which has just released a trailer to coincide with Comic-Con. It certainly looks like it’ll keep the fun tone of The LEGO Movie.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘In the irreverent spirit of fun that made “The LEGO® Movie” a worldwide phenomenon, the self-described leading man of that ensemble – LEGO Batman – stars in his own big-screen adventure. But there are big changes brewing in Gotham, and if he wants to save the city from The Joker’s hostile takeover, Batman may have to drop the lone vigilante thing, try to work with others and maybe, just maybe, learn to lighten up.’

What that doesn’t mention is the importance of him accidentally getting a ward, who becomes a rather different Robin than we’re used to. The film will be in cinemas February 10th 2017. [Read more…]

T2 Trainspotting Trailer – The original cast return for the long-awaited sequel

November 5, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

t2-trainspotting-quad-poster-slideEver since the success of Trainspotting in 1996 we’ve been promised a sequel, although we’ve always known we’d have to wait until the actors were a older. Now it’s finally on its way and to get us excited we’ve got a teaser which recreates a classic scene from the first movie.

There’s not much info on the plot, but we do know it will reunite Ewan McGregor, Jonny Lee Miller, Ewen Bremner and Robert Carlyle are all back, as Renton, Sick Boy, Spud, and Begbie, with Danny Boyle once more directing. While Irvine Welsh wrote a follow-up novel, Filth, it’s not believed John Hodges script will be totally faithful to that story.

The film is currently due out in the UK on January January 27th. Take a look at the teaser below. [Read more…]

La La Land Trailer – Emma Stone & Ryan Gosling sing it up

November 5, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

la-la-land-slide1With a couple of teaser trailers, La La Land has become one of the most intriguing and interesting looking movies of the year. And following its festival screening, some are suggesting it could be a real awards contender.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Written and directed by Academy Award® nominee Damien Chazelle, LA LA LAND tells the story of Mia [Emma Stone], an aspiring actress, and Sebastian [Ryan Gosling], a dedicated jazz musician, who are struggling to make ends meet in a city known for crushing hopes and breaking hearts. Set in modern day Los Angeles, this original musical about everyday life explores the joy and pain of pursuing your dreams.

John Legend, Rosemarie DeWitt, Finn Wittrock, Callie Hernandez, Sonoya Mizuno, Jessica Rothe, Tom Everett Scott and Josh Pence also star, with Whiplash’s Damien Chazelle writing and directing. Take a look at the new trailer below. [Read more…]

Johnny Depp Joins Fantastic Beasts, But Will He Be Dumbledore’s Gay Love Interest?

November 2, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

johnny-deppWarner Bros. has revealed that Johnny Depp has signed up to appear in the Fantastic Beasts franchise. It appears they were hoping to keep the news a secret, but following the first press screenings of Fantastic Beasts & Where To Find Them, word slipped out that Depp has a small cameo. That caused Warner to confirm the news and let the world know he’d be getting a much largee role in the sequel.

Although there’s been no confirmation of what role Depp will be playing, hints and rumours suggest it’s Gellert Grindelwald, who Albus Dumbledore developed a close attachment to as a teen – with the future Hogwarts headmaster having a perhaps reciprocated crush on his friend – but then the latter went off and became an incredibly powerful dark wizard. It’s believed Grindelwald’s rise and eventual fall will be intrinsic to the currently planned five Fantastic Beasts movies.

Whether any sort of romantic attachment between Dumbledore and Grindelwald will be shown isn’t known, as in the Harry Potter books Albus doesn’t confirm they were anything more than friends, and says that as an adult he avoided Gellert until their final confrontation. However, we may discover there’s more to it than that.

The first Fantastic Beasts film is set in New York in 1926, which is around the time we know Grindelwald was starting his secretive rise to power in Europe. Director David Yates has confirmed the second movie will transfer the main action to Paris in the 1930s, which suggests it will be increasingly Grindelwald focused. We also know a young Dumbledore himself will show up in the sequels.

The first film in the franchise hits cinemas in mid-November.

New xXx: The Return Of Xander Cage Trailer – Vin Diesel is back as the extreme sports super-spy

November 2, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

xxx_digi_xander_rgb_ov-slideVin Diesel is making a bit of a habit of leaving franchises before returning later. He did it with Fast & Furious, and after playing Xander Cage in 2002’s xXx, he bowed out for the sequel, which starred Ice Cube.

Now, 15 years after the first film, he’s returning to the series for xXx: The Return Of Xander Cage, which also sees Samuel L. Jackson back as Agent Augustus Eugene Gibbons. In the movie, Xander Cage is left for dead after an incident, though he secretly returns to action for a new, tough assignment with his handler Augustus Gibbons. As the character posters below show, it also looks like they might be trying to build the franchise into more of a Fast & Furious style team affair.

And as you can see from the trailer below, the movie is also following in Fast & Furious’ footsteps in the ridiculously OTT action stakes. It should be in cinemas early next year. [Read more…]

New Sing Trailer – Animals get their own talent show in a new animated movie

November 2, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

sing-slideSynopsis: ‘Set in a world like ours but entirely inhabited by animals, Sing stars Buster Moon (Academy Award® winner Matthew McConaughey), a dapper Koala who presides over a once-grand theater that has fallen on hard times.  Buster is an eternal optimist—okay, maybe a bit of a scoundrel—who loves his theater above all and will do anything to preserve it.  Now facing the crumbling of his life’s ambition, he has one final chance to restore his fading jewel to its former glory by producing the world’s greatest singing competition.

‘Five lead contestants emerge: A mouse (Seth MacFarlane) who croons as smoothly as he cons, a timid teenage elephant (Tori Kelly) with an enormous case of stage fright, an overtaxed mother (Academy Award® winner Reese Witherspoon) run ragged tending a litter of 25 piglets, a young gangster gorilla (Taron Egerton) looking to break free of his family’s felonies, and a punk-rock porcupine (Scarlett Johansson) struggling to shed her arrogant boyfriend and go solo.  Each animal arrives under Buster’s marquee believing that this is their shot to change the course of their life.

‘Featuring more than 85 hit songs, Sing is written and directed by Garth Jennings (Son of Rambow, The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy) and produced by Chris Meledandri and Janet Healy.  Sing will be released by Universal Pictures.’

The movie will be in cinemas next January. [Read more…]

November 2, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

gifted-slideMarc Webb jumped from the indie darling 500 Days of Summer to the mega-budget The Amazing Spider-man movies, but now he’s heading back to something a little smaller with Gifted, based on Tom Flynn’s black-listed script. Now the first trailer for the movie has arrived.

Octavia Spencer plays Roberta, Frank and Mary’s landlady and best friend. Jenny Slate is Mary’s teacher, Bonnie, a young woman whose concern for her student develops into a connection with her uncle as well.’
