New Look At Charlie Hunnam & Jude Law In King Arthur: Legend Of The Sword

July 17, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

king-arthur-1When it was first announced, Guy Ritchie’s King Arthur was supposed to be the start of a massive interconnected franchise based around the Knights Of The Round Table. However, it looks like they’re hedging their after moving it all around the release schedule and then changing the name to King Arthur: Legend Of The Sword.

That doesn’t mean it’ll be a disaster but does suggest they perhaps don’t have as much faith in it as they once did – especially as we’ve heard fairly little about it in the last year. However, now a couple of new images have been released via EW.

They show a bruised and battered looking Arthur (Charlie Hunnam), who tells EW of his character, ‘He’s a bit rough around the edges, but he’s basically a survivor. There’s definitely a harder edge than people would imagine.’

There’s also a show of Jude Law as the villainous Vortigern, which you can see below. The movie is currently due out next March.

The Hollars Trailer – John Krasinski has more problems than just a pregnant Anna Kendrick

July 17, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

the-hollars-slideSynopsis: ‘John Krasinski’s big-hearted family comedy takes a touching look at the ties that bind. Krasinski plays John Hollar, a frustrated graphic novelist anxiously awaiting the birth of his baby with girlfriend, Rebecca (Anna Kendrick). When his mother, Sally (Margo Martindale), is diagnosed with a brain tumor, John flies back home, where denial runs deep in the family tree. While his loving but fractured family pulls together to prepare Sally for surgery, John takes a second look at the life he left behind.’

The movie is Krasinksi’s sophomore directorial effort following his 2009 adaptation of David Foster Wallace‘s Brief Interviews with Hideous Men. He also co-wrote The Promised Land, although Gus Van Sant directed that one.

The film will be in US cinemas on August 26th. Take a look at the trailer below. [Read more…]

First Look At Bill Skarsgard’s Pennywise The Clown In Stephen King’s It Movie

July 13, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

it-first-look-pennywise-slideAfter several years in pre-production, director and cast changes and plenty of time when it looked like it would never happen, a new film based on Stephen King’s It has started shooting. Actually it’s two movies, with the first dealing with a group of children’s interaction with a sewer-dwelling monster that takes the form of an evil clown, and the second with what happens once they’ve grown up and return to take on the menace again.

One of the main things people have been interested is what the clown – Pennywise – would look like. We’ve known for a while that they were making him rather younger than Tim Curry’s take in the 1980s two-part TV movie, as the first person cast was Will Poulter. He’s since been replaced by Bill Skarkgard, and EW have released our first glimpse of him in full makeup for the role.

You can take a look at the image below. It’s certainly quite menacing. [Read more…]

Front Cover Trailer – A photographer falls for a famous actor in the gay-themed movie

July 13, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Front-Cover-slideFront Cover screens on July 14th at Outfest, before getting a theatrical release in early August in LA and New York. Ahead of that, you can take a look at the trailer for the Raymond Yeung directed movie.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘FRONT COVER is about handsome, openly gay New York City fashion stylist Ryan (Jake Choi), who rejects his traditional Asian upbringing. Ryan is given an assignment to style Ning (James Chen), a famous Chinese actor, for an important photo shoot. After a rocky start, an unlikely friendship develops between them, leading Ryan to examine his identity and consider an enticing new path for his life and career. A tender, funny look at clashing cultures and love, FRONT COVER is a delight for the urban fashionista in us all.’

Take a look at the trailer below. Strand Releasing will be bringing the movie out in the US. [Read more…]

A Korean Star Trek Beyond Ad May Have Given A First Look A Sulu’s Husband & Daughter

July 13, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

star-trek-beyond-sulu-husband-slideWhile it hasn’t been confirmed, eagle-eyed viewers have suggested a Korean ad for the new Star Trek movie, may have given us our first, very brief look at Sulu’s husband and daughter. Actor John Cho recently confirmed his character would have a same sex partner and child – even if it didn’t please original Sulu actor George Takei – but this may be the first time we’ve seen them.

It does make sense though, as the news of Sulu’s family arrangements was accompanied by the news they were back on Earth while the Starfleet crew member headed off into the stars. The brief look in the advert suggests Sulu’s hubby and daughter are in trouble back home, presumably caused by events the Enterprise is engaged in.

You can take a look at the advert below. The movie itself will be in cinemas on July 22nd. [Read more…]

La La Land Teaser Trailer – Emma Stone & Ryan Gosling fall in love in the new musical

July 13, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

la-la-land-slideLa La Land is certainly one of the years more intriguing movies – an original musical starring Emma Stone & Ryan Gosling, from the director of Whiplash. It’s been a bit of a secretive one, but now we get our first proper look with a teaser trailer, which is enigmatic but looks pretty interesting.

The brief synopsis states: ‘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.’

The trailer shows this will be a mix of realism and fantasy. John Legend, Rosemarie DeWitt, Finn Wittrock, Callie Hernandez, Sonoya Mizuno, Jessica Rothe, Tom Everett Scott and Josh Pence also star. It’ll be out later this year. [Read more…]

Loving Trailer – Joel Edgerton & Ruth Negga play a mixed race couple fighting for the right to marry

July 13, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

loving-slideWhile recent years have seen fights over whether same sex couple should have the right to marry, it’s easy to forget that it’s not too long ago that in parts of the US, people of different races were barred from marriage. Loving takes a look at a relationship that sparked a vital court case.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘“Loving” celebrates the real-life courage and commitment of an interracial couple, Richard and Mildred Loving, who married and then spent the next nine years fighting for the right to live as a family in their hometown. Their civil rights case, Loving v. Virginia, went all the way to the Supreme Court, which in 1967 reaffirmed the very foundation of the right to marry – making their love story an inspiration to couples everywhere.’

The movie should be out later this year. Take a look at the trailer below. [Read more…]

Italian TV Network Says Sorry For Cutting How To Get Away With Murder Gay Sex Scene

July 11, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

how-to-get-away-with-murderThere was a bit of an outcry in Italy over the last three days when one of the country’s biggest free TV networks, Rai TV, aired the pilot episode of How To Get Away With Murder. The problem, which many eagle-eyed viewers noticed, was that a gay sex scene had been snipped out, while all the heterosexual shenanigans was left intact.

The scene, featuring Connor (Jack Falahee) and Oliver (Conrad Riamora), had already been seen by Italian fans when it aired on the pay network, Sky Italia’s Fox, but it was chopped for the Rai TV screening.

The criticism quickly went viral, with comment coming from the makers of the series, including Pete Nowalk who tweeted that he was “shocked and disappointed.” Creator Shonda Rhimes joined in, saying, “Censorship of any love is inexcusable.” While actor Jack Falahee wondered: “audiences in Italia aren’t ready for real life?”

With the protest growing, Rai TV stepped up to apologise and offer a (rather weak) excuse. As Variety reports, ‘Rai 2 director Ilaria Dallatana responded in a statement claiming “there was no censorship, simply an excess of modesty” on the part of an overzealous female editor who had made the edits without her approval. Dallatana ordered the episode to be rebroadcast uncensored on Sunday evening in the same primetime slot.’

One of the reasons it’s a slightly weak excuse is that Rai has previously been subject to numerous accusations of censoring gay content, and so can’t claim to be unaware of the issue. It was previously criticised for cutting the gay sex scene from Brokeback Mountain, as well as for apparently apparently only allowing straight couple to get onstage and kiss during a televised concert last year.

Italy lags behind the rest of western Europe on LGBT rights, only begrudging giving gay couple  some right in the last few months, but stopping far short of backing gay marriage or officially sanctioning gay adoptions. While it’s believed the population is open to giving more rights to LGBT people, the strength of the Catholic Church in the country has made even getting the limited rights passed recently difficult.

Javier Bardem Will Take On Frankenstein In Universal’s Movie Monster Universe

July 11, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

javier-bardemUniversal’s hopes of building an Avengers style universe around classic monsters is moving apace, with a reboot of The Mummy currently shooting with Tom Cruise, Johnny Depp signed up to be the Invisible Man and Russell Crowe on board to be Dr. Jeykll/Mr. Hyde. Now the films have found their Frankenstein, as Variety report Javier Bardem is in talks for the role.

The monster universe will be set in the modern day, with Universal planning a new take on the classic Bride Of Frankenstein. However, it appears likely that Bardem will appear as the character in another movie first, but it’s not known which one. He may have been cast now so he can cameo in The Mummy, but it’s believed Invisible Man will also shoot this year.

The studio is certainly bringing a lot of star power to its planned franchise, going against the grain for superhero movies, which have tended to cast cheaper up-and-comers, or well-known names going cheap (and remember, that’s exactly what Robert Downey Jr. was before Iron Man). It’s presumably due to the fact movie monster don’t have the same sort of in-built fanbase and interest that superheroes tend to have, and so they feel adding some big names will help. It’s yet to be seen whether it will work out.

Please Like Me Finally Arrives In The UK, & Josh Thomas Announces Season 4 Is Coming Soon

July 9, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

please-like-me-s3-slide2Josh Thomas’ gay-themed Aussie show Please Like Me has gained huge amounts of praise around the world, winning numerous awards and gathering a cult following in many countries (including the likes of Lena Dunham). However, as we noted in our review of Seasons 1 and 2, it’s been very difficult to watch it in the UK. Despite the plaudits, no British TV channel had picked it up.

Thankfully though, that’s now changing, as Amazon has announced that the first three seasons of the comedy drama series are now available on Amazon Prime Video in the UK, following a deal they’ve done with Avalon Distribution. It means that UK audiences will now be able to catch up on the adventures of Thomas’ alter ego, Josh, who gets dumped by his girlfriend and then comes out as gay. The show follows his rather awkward romantic entanglements (including with the handsome but unusual Arnold), as well his his issues with his mother’s mental illness and father’s new wife and child. That’s not to mention his relationship with straight housemate and friend, Tom.

If you haven’t seen it, it’s well worth catching up with the show, and now those in the UK with a Prime Video subscription can do just that. It’s just as well too, as Josh Thomas has announced that production has begun on Season 4, revealing the news with the cake based Instagram pic you can see below. Hopefully that will also come to Prime Video, and it’s already been revealed it’ll be available in the US from November 10th via Pivot. [Read more…]
