James Franco Plans Film About Gay Porn Producer Murder, With Garrett Clayton As Porn Star Brent Corrigan

October 19, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Garrett Clayton

Sean Paul Lockhart has made a bit of a name for himself as an actor and producer in gay-themed movies, but as many will know, before he went legit he was porn star Brent Corrigan, who for a time was the hottest gay adult actor around, known for his boy next door looks and, erm, impressive endowment.

However what fewer know is that during his career he unwittingly became central to a murder, when porn actors Harlow Raymond Cuadra and Joseph Manuel Kerekes 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. Lockhart had got his start with Cobra Video, although it was later revealed he was underage in his first videos. He was later involved in a legal dispute with Kocis over the name Brent Corrigan (however there was never any suggestion he was involved in the murder).

Now a film about the case is in the works, called King Cobra, with QueerClick reporting that James Franco (who else) is set to produce, with Chrisian Slater playing  Kocis. Molly Ringwald has also been cast, apparently playing Kocis’ sister Melody.

It’s not clear what actors will step into the roles of Cuadra and Kerekes, but the movie has founds its Brent Corrigan in the very hot form of former Disney Channel star Garrett Clayton (Teen Beach Movie, The Fosters).

It appears Franco will also appear in the movie, but it’s not clear what role he will play. It will also reunite him with his I Am Michael director, Justin Kelly.

Edina & Patsy Are Back In The First Pic From Absolutely Fabulous: The Movie

October 19, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

absolutely-fabulous-film-pic1Jennifer Saunders has been talking about it for years, but now it’s actually happening, as she and Joanna Lumley are on set to make Absolutely Fabulous: The Movie. As well the main stars, other returnees include Julia Sawalha as Saffy, Jane Horrocks as Bubble and June Whitfield as Mother.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Appropriate for their big screen debut, Edina and Patsy are still oozing glitz and glamour, living the high life they are accustomed to; shopping, drinking and clubbing their way around London’s trendiest hotspots. Blamed for a major incident at an uber fashionable launch party, they become entangled in a media storm and are relentlessly pursued by the paparazzi. Fleeing penniless to the glamorous playground of the super-rich, the French Riviera, they hatch a plan to make their escape permanent and live the high life forevermore! In true Ab Fab style, the cast will be joined by a host of A-list stars from the acting, music and fashion worlds.’

“I am thrilled and excited to finally start filming. We are all on the Sanatogen and hoping for the best,” said Saunders.

The movie is out in 2016, as they recently launched a search to find a hundred drag queens, it’ll be as camp as ever.

As Ek grapples with the gritty realities of life in Bangkok — working at a bar for male hustlers and sex-workers — he has also found love with his more privileged boyfriend Jai (Arthur Navarat). When the moment of truth arrives with the draft lottery these 21-year-olds must draw either a black or a red slip to possibly be conscripted into the armed forces. Who will be sent off to the service and who will get to stay home?’

New The Danish Girl Trailer – Eddie Redmayne is transgender pioneer Lili Elbe

October 17, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Eddie-Redmayne-Danish-Girl-slideIn The Danish Girl, Eddie Redmayne stars as Lili Elbe, who became one of the first women to undergo sex-reassignment surgery way back in the early 1930s.

Here’s the official synopsis: ‘Based on the book by David Ebershoff, The Danish Girl is the remarkable love story inspired by the lives of Lili Elbe and Gerda Wegener (portrayed by Academy Award winner Eddie Redmayne [The Theory of Everything] and Alicia Vikander [Ex Machina]), and directed by Academy Award winner Tom Hooper (The King’s Speech, Les Misérables). Lili and Gerda’s marriage and work evolve as they navigate Lili’s groundbreaking journey as a transgender pioneer.’

That doesn’t give a lot of detail, but at film will chart the journey of the person who started out asDanish painter Einar Wegener (Redmayne), and his wife, Gerda. In 1931 Einar is thought to have become the first person in the world to have a sex-change operation, when she became Lili. It’s believed the journey started – at least openly – after Gerda asked Einar to stand in for a female subject that Gerda was supposed to paint. The painting became incredibly popular and Lili began to express who she truly was.

The movie will hit UK cinemas on New Year’s Day 2016, which will ensure it’s ripe for a major awards run. [Read more…]

New Kill Your Friends Trailer – Nicholas Hoult takes the music business to murderous levels

October 17, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

kill-your-friends-poster2-slide-nicholas-houltNicholas Hoult leaves zombies, mutants and Mad Max behind for a while to head into the music business with the upcoming Kill Your Friends, which has release a new trailer and a sexy new poster.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘When the road to success is littered with losers and even your closest colleagues are desperate for you to fail, what would you do to make it to the top?

‘London, 1997; the British music industry is on a winning streak. Britpop bands Blur, Oasis, Radiohead rule the airwaves and Cool Britannia is in full swing. 27-year-old hit chasing A&R man Steven Stelfox (Nicholas Hoult) is slashing and burning his way through the music business, a world where ‘no one knows anything’ and where careers are made and broken by chance and the fickle tastes of the general public – “Yeah, those animals”.

‘Fuelled by greed, ambition and inhuman quantities of drugs, Stelfox searches for his next hit record amid a relentless orgy of self-gratification. Created by an industry that demands success at any price, as the hits dry up and the industry begins to change, Stelfox takes the concept of ‘killer tunes’ to a murderous new level in a desperate attempt to salvage his career.

‘Kill Your Friends is a dark, satirical and hysterically funny evisceration of the Nineties music business. A time and place populated by frauds, charlatans and bluffers; where ambition is a higher currency than talent, and where it seems anything can be achieved – as long as you want it badly enough.’

Kill Your Friends will be in UK cinemas on November 6th. [Read more…]

Ratchet & Clank Trailer – The videogame turns into an animated movie

October 17, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

rachet-and-clank-poster-slideTurning videogames into movies doesn’t exactly have a great history, but when it’s an animated movie, there’s a chance it’ll be okay – although that fact it’s an independent production should give us a little pause.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘A CG-animated movie based on the iconic PlayStation video game. Two unlikely heroes struggle to stop a vile alien named Chairman Drek from destroying every planet in the Solana Galaxy. Ratchet is the last of his kind, a foolhardy “lombax” who has grown up alone on a backwater planet with no family of his own. Clank is a pint-sized robot with more brains than brawn. When the two stumble upon a dangerous weapon capable of destroying entire planets, they must join forces with a team of colorful heroes called The Galactic Rangers in order to save the galaxy. Along the way, they will learn about heroism, friendship, and the importance of discovering one’s own identity.’

The film will be in cinemas early next year. [Read more…]

New Paranormal Activity: The Ghost Dimension Trailer – The found footage creepiness is back

October 17, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

paranormal-activity-ghost-dimension-poster-slideThe Paranormal Activity franchise is returning with what’s promised as the final instalment (for now at least), which suggestions it’ll clear up some of the mysteries from the earlier movies.

Here’s the very brief synopsis: ‘For the first time, see the unseen in Paranormal Activity: The Ghost Dimension – the horrifying conclusion to the Paranormal Activity films.’

Producer Jason Blumhouse has added, ‘It’s coming to an end. This is it, the finale. We’re saying it before the movie opens. We’re not going to grind this horror franchise into the ground, this will keep Paranormal Activity as part of this culture and this particular time in a really fantastic way… All the questions that everyone has asked from the past Paranormal Activity films: What does Toby look like? What’s the backstory to the families? These questions have been teased out. Now they will be answered.’

The film’s in cinemas on October 21st. [Read more…]

Mark Ruffalo’s Hulk Is Set To Return For Thor: Ragnarok

October 17, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

avengers-age-of-ultron-hulk-bannerWhile Marvel still seems reticent to give Mark Ruffalo’s Hulk a movie of his own, they are at least making a little more use of him, as after the two Avengers movies, he’s now due to show up in Thor: Ragnarok, according to Variety.

It’s not certain how he’ll fit into the movie, but we wouldn’t be surprised if Chris Hemsworth’s Thor calls on The Hulk’s help, as if you’ve taking something powerful, he’s a handy (green) person to have around. However Variety does add that ‘the film will take place somewhere other than Earth and Asgard’, which suggests we’ll get to see more on the nine realms.

Tom Hiddleston and Jaimie Alexander are also set to return (with Hiddleston suggesting this may be his last outing as Loki), with Taika Waititi. Shooting will lick off next year for release in 2017.

Die Hard Prequel in the Works, With Director Len Wiseman Set to Return

October 17, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

die-hard-slideWhile 2013’s A Good Day To Die Hard was a bit of a flop, Fox obviously thinks there’s still mileage in the franchise, as they’ve enlisted Die Hard 4 director Len Wiseman for a prequel, taking us into the life of a young John McLane.

Bruce Willis is likely to return though, as if he likes the script he’ll pop up as the famed action here, with the rest of the movie taking place in flashback.

Deadline reports that the movie largely takes place ‘in 1979, when McClane was a cop in gritty New York City and showing how he became a die hard kind of guy.’

Wiseman will now help develop the movie alongside an as yet unhired screenwriter, with the hope it’ll be in cinemas in 2017.
