Elton John Sought For Mystery Role In Kingsman: The Golden Circle

April 13, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

kingsman-2-poster-slideOver the years Elton John has done a tiny bit of acting, but it looks like he may be adding to his thespian resume, as THR reports he’s in talks for a role in Kingsman: The Golden Circle. However, at the moment the part he would be playing is being kept a secret. THR suggests he may be playing himself.

He’ll join the returning Taron Egerton and Mark Strong, as well as newcomers Julianne Moore as the villain, Halle Berry as the CIA Chief and Pedro Pascal. The recent poster, which you can see below, also hints that Colin Firth will be back, which will be a surprise to many who watched the first movie.

Matthew Vaughn will once more direct, with filming due to kick off soon in London. The film will be in cinemas next year. [Read more…]

Doctor Strange Trailer – Marvel gets a little magic with Benedict Cumberbatch

April 13, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Doctor-Strange-poster1-slideJust yesterday we said that it wouldn’t be long until a trailer for Doctor Strange arrived. Well, we were right as it’s now here and you can take a look at it below. The trailer suggests something a little darker than most Marvel movies, as giving us a taste of the magic it will bring to the universe.

We also get a look at a bald and rather mystical Tilda Swinton.

Cumberbatch plays Stephen Vincent Strange, a former neurosurgeon who becomes the next Sorcerer Supreme and primary protector of Earth against magical and mystical threats. Tilda Swinton will play Strange’s mentor, the Ancient One, while Chiwetel Ejiofor will appear as Baron Mordo, who also studies magic under the Ancient One, before becoming Doctor Strange’s nemesis. Mads Mikelsen is also onboard to play one of the main villains.

Scott Derrickson is directing the movie. It’ll be in cinemas November 2016. [Read more…]

Garrett Clayton Takes A Shower In First Clip From James Franco’s Gay Murder Movie, King Cobra

April 12, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

king-cobra-clipLast October it was revealed that James Franco was continuing his fascination with everything gay by producing and starring in King Cobra, based on a real-life case of murder in the gay porn business. Director Justin Kelly has worked quickly, as the film is due to premiere shortly at the Tribeca Film Festival.

Ahead of that comes the first clip, via EW, which features Garrett Clayton as Sean Paul Lockhart, aka gay porn star Brent Corrigan, and Christian Slater as porn producer, Bryan Kocis.

The film is about how porn actors Harlow Raymond Cuadra and Joseph Manuel Kerekes (Keegan Allen and James Franco) savagely killed porn producer and head of Cobra Video, Bryan Kocis. They thought by doing so they’d be able to make it big behind-the-scenes of the porn world, and lure Brent Corrigan to work for them in order to make a massively successful movie.

The film premieres on April 16th. Take a look at the clip below. [Read more…]

Russell Tovey & Andrew Garfield Teaming For London Stage Production Of Angels In America

April 12, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

russell-toveyLast month it was revealed that Andrew Garfield and Olivier Award winner Denise Gough were set to star in a new London National Theatre production of Tony Kushner’s Pulitzer Prize-winning play, Angels In America. Now it’s been announced that they will be joined by Russell Tovey, according to Broadway.com.

Tovey will play Joe Pitt, a married, Mormon attorney, who is secretly gay and starts a relationship with a man called Louis. Gough is set to be his wife, whose life starts to fall apart as her husband realises who he is and begins to live a new wife. Garfield meanwhile will be Louis’ former boyfriend, who is diagnosed with AIDS and as the disease ravages his body, he begins to have fantastical visions.

The National Theatre staged the first international production of the play in 1992, with the new production due to be staged at the same venue 25 years later, starting May 2017. Further casting will be announced soon, with many expecting other well-known names to fill the other roles.

Benedict Cumberbatch Magics Up A Doctor Strange Poster

April 12, 2016 By Tim Isaac 1 Comment

Doctor-Strange-poster1I wouldn’t be surprised if we get a trailer for Doctor Strange very, very soon (around the time Captain America: Civil War is released makes sense), as a few days after a new picture of Benedict Cumberbatch as the title character debuted, the first official poster has arrived.

Cumberbatch will play Stephen Vincent Strange, a former neurosurgeon who becomes the next Sorcerer Supreme and primary protector of Earth against magical and mystical threats. Marvel Comics artist Steve Ditko created the character in 1963. Tilda Swinton will play Strange’s mentor, the Ancient One, while Chiwetel Ejiofor will appear as Baron Mordo, who also studies magic under the Ancient One in the comic books, before becoming Doctor Strange’s nemesis. Mads Mikelsen is also onboard to play an as yet unnamed villain, who EW says, is ‘a sorcerer who breaks off into his own sect… he believes that the Ancient One is just protecting her own power base and that the world may be better off if we were to allow some of these other things through.’

Scott Derrickson is directing the movie. It’ll be in cinemas November 2016.

John Krasinski In Talks For JJ Abrams’ Sci-Fi Thriller, God Particle

April 12, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

John-KrasinskiBack in 2012 JJ Abrams revealed he was working on a movie called God Particle, with Julius Onah set to direct. After that, new about the film went pretty quiet, but things are picking up again, as Variety reports that John Krasinski is circling the movie.

He would join the recently cast David Oyelowo and Gugu Mbatha-Raw in the movie, which ‘centers on a team of astronauts who make a terrifying discovery that challenges everything they know about the fabric of reality, as they desperately fight for survival.’ Oren Uziel (The Kitchen Sink) wrote the script.

Onah is still set to direct the movie, which will start shooting in the next few months. It’s currently set for release February 2017.

Steven Spielberg Set To Reunite With Mark Rylance For The Kidnapping of Edgardo Mortara

April 12, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

steven-spielbergIt seems that Steven Spielberg and Mark Rylance has found their muses in one another. Despite massive stage success, Rylance has made relatively few films, but now he’s set to work with Spielberg for the third time in less than two years (after Bridge Of Spies and The BFG), with The Kidnapping of Edgardo Mortara.

Deadline reports that the movie will be based on Pulitzer Prize-winner David Kertzer’s book, with a script by fellow Pulitzer honoree, Tony Kushner (Angels In America, Lincoln). Rylance will play Pope Pius IX in the film, which ‘recounts the story of a young Jewish boy in Bologna, Italy in 1858 who, having been secretly baptized, is forcibly taken from his family to be raised as a Christian. His parents’ struggle to free their son becomes part of a larger political battle that pits the Papacy against forces of democracy and Italian unification.’

The movie will apparently be Spielberg’s next movie, which is a slight surprise as he’s been busy casting Ready Player One. However, with that movie not due out until 2018 and The Kidnapping of Edgardo Mortara not due to start shooting until early 2017, it’s possible he will actually shoot the latter after Ready Player One, but it will arrive in cinemas beforehand.

New Fantastic Beasts & Where To Find Them Trailer – A familiar & yet new take on the world of Harry Potter

April 11, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

fantastic-beasts-slideIn case there was anyone who wasn’t aware that the upcoming Fantastic Beasts & Where To Find Them is a Harry Potter spin-off, this new trailer absolutely underlines the fact, as well as letting us know it’s a brand new story. There’s mention of Albus Dumbledore, muggles and Hogwarts, as well as the iconic Potter musical theme, but also a setting that’s clearly the America of the past.

Those who’ve been missing Potter will certainly find a few things to get excited about.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Academy Award winner Eddie Redmayne (“The Theory of Everything”) stars in the central role of wizarding world magizoologist Newt Scamander, under the direction of David Yates, who helmed the last four “Harry Potter” blockbusters.

‘“Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them” opens in 1926 as Newt Scamander has just completed a global excursion to find and document an extraordinary array of magical creatures. Arriving in New York for a brief stopover, he might have come and gone without incident…were it not for a No-Maj (American for Muggle) named Jacob, a misplaced magical case, and the escape of some of Newt’s fantastic beasts, which could spell trouble for both the wizarding and No-Maj worlds.’

It’ll be in cinemas in November. [Read more…]

New Suicide Squad Trailer – DC Comics villains become a band on unlikely heroes, maybe?

April 11, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

suicide-squad-cast-photo2-slideThe new trailer for Suicide Squad is keen to show that this is going to be a rather different kind of comic book movie, and that it’s not going to just pay lip service to the fact the heroes are actually a bunch of villains. It does look like it could be fund though, and may actually end up helping sell an interconnected DC Comics film universe more than the mixed reaction to Batman v Superman.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘From director David Ayer (“Fury,” “End of Watch”) comes “Suicide Squad,” starring Oscar nominee Will Smith (“Ali,” “The Pursuit of Happyness”), Oscar winner Jared Leto (“Dallas Buyers Club”), Margot Robbie (“The Wolf of Wall Street,” “Focus”), Joel Kinnaman (“Run All Night,” “The Killing”) and Oscar nominee Viola Davis (“The Help,” “Doubt”).

‘It feels good to be bad… Assemble a team of the world’s most dangerous, incarcerated Super Villains, provide them with the most powerful arsenal at the government’s disposal, and send them off on a mission to defeat an enigmatic, insuperable entity. U.S. intelligence officer Amanda Waller has determined only a secretly convened group of disparate, despicable individuals with next to nothing to lose will do. However, once they realize they weren’t picked to succeed but chosen for their patent culpability when they inevitably fail, will the Suicide Squad resolve to die trying, or decide it’s every man for himself?

‘Written and directed by Ayer based on the characters from DC Comics, the film also stars Jai Courtney (“Insurgent”), Jay Hernandez (“Takers”), Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje (“Thor: The Dark World”), Ike Barinholtz (“Neighbors”), Scott Eastwood (“Fury”), Cara Delevingne (“Paper Towns”), Adam Beach (“Cowboys & Aliens”), and Karen Fukuhara in her feature film debut. It is produced by Charles Roven and Richard Suckle, with Zack Snyder, Deborah Snyder, Colin Wilson and Geoff Johns serving as executive producers.’

The film will be in cinemas in August. [Read more…]

New Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows Trailer & Poster Arrive

April 11, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

teenage-mutant-ninja-turtles-2-poster-slideTurtle Power is returning this summer with the release of New Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows, which follows up the unexpectedly successful live-action movie from a couple of years ago. It also introduces a few more characters from the comics and TV series, such as Casey Jones (Stephen Amell) and villains Krang, Bebop and Rocksteady.

Now a full trailer and a poster for the movie has arrived.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Michelangelo, Donatello, Leonardo, and Raphael return to cinemas this summer to battle bigger, badder villains, alongside April O’Neil (Megan Fox), Vern Fenwick (Will Arnett), and a newcomer: the hockey-masked vigilante Casey Jones (Stephen Amell). After supervillain Shredder escapes custody, he joins forces with mad scientist Baxter Stockman (Tyler Perry) and two dimwitted henchmen, Bebop (Gary Anthony Williams) and Rocksteady (WWE Superstar Stephen “Sheamus” Farrelly), to unleash a diabolical plan to take over the world. As the Turtles prepare to take on Shredder and his new crew, they find themselves facing an even greater evil with similar intentions: the notorious Krang.’

The film will be in UK cinemas on May 30th. [Read more…]
