Theo and Hugo has proven a big success at film festivals, including getting a very good reception at the BFI Flare: London LGBT Film Festival earlier this year. Now it’s on its way to UK cinemas, and a NSFW trailer has arrived to give us a feel for the film.
Here’s the synopsis: ‘Théo and Hugo encounter each other’s bodies one night in a Paris sex club. Wanting to know more about each other, they leave the club and drift down the deserted streets of nocturnal Paris. Suddenly they find themselves confronted by a sense of reality that wipes out their freedom and lends each step an existential helplessness.
‘Do they want to know more about each other? Will their trust be rewarded? What are their expectations?
‘Olivier Ducastel and Jacques Martineau (Drôle de Félix, Born in 68) deliver their most ambitious film yet, displaying a consummate sensitivity in bringing us closer to two men as they strive for intimacy in spite of being stalled by their insecurity.’
It’s also been noted for how explicit it is, with co-director Jaques Martineau commenting: “We were telling a real story and we were all focused on that so it made filming the sex as natural as we’d imagined it when we conceived the project. It’s not just a scene of sexual intercourse and the demands of the story meant that the ‘performance’ of filming actors with erections faded into the background (even if it’s not the same as filming a family meal!). We had to believe in these two people falling in love and the passionate surge of desire.”
Take a look at the trailer below. It’ll be in UK cinemas on September 9th. [Read more…]
Last week we got a first teaser for the intriguing new sci-fi movie, Arrival, and that’s now been followed by two trailer – one US one and one International – and a full dozen posters. You can take a look at them below.
With all his bizarre (and sometimes rather student-y) performance art pieces and idiosyncratic behaviour, it’s easy to forget that when he fancies it, Shia LeBeouf is still an actor. However, you probably won’t be too surprised to hear that his next movie isn’t a Transformers style blockbuster, but an indie movie.
A few weeks ago – and very shortly after it started shooting – we got our first look at Bill Skargard as the evil Pennywise the Clown in the new two-part film adaptation of Stephen King’s It. That’s now been follow by another image that shows us character’s entire body rather than just his face.
Sherlock Holmes already holds the record for the literary character with the most on-screen adaptations. Now it looks like he might be getting another one, with time turning the famous detective more comic, as 
Disney’s planned follow-up to Mary Poppins is fast coming together, with Emily Blunt in the lead role, Hamilton’s Lin-Manuel Miranda in the equivalent of the Dick Van Dyke role, and Meryl Streep in talks to play Poppins’ cousin, Topsy. Now 
While the first teaser trailer for Rogue One was pretty cool, there have been rumours of trouble behind the scenes, with Disney said to be concerned about the tone, and the need for extensive reshoots. However, the latest trailer continues to make this look like it could be awesome. It certainly has a different feel to The Force Awakens, and it’s not surprising they have gone for a slightly 1970s look, as the film is set just before A New Hope.
Morten Tyldum certainly likes to move through genres, as he went thriller with Headhunters, historical drama with The Imitation Game, and now he’s heading into the world of sci-fi with Passengers. The first pics from the movie have arrived via 
A few days ago we posted the first pic from the upcoming Brad Pitt & Marion Cotillard romantic drama, Allied. That’s now been followed by a teaser trailer, which you can take a look at below.
