LGBT-Themed Web Series Elevator Stories, Starring Awkward’s Jillian Rose Reed, Seeks Funding

October 8, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

jillian-rose-reedCan you make a decent web series that’s set in an elevator? The aptly name Elevator Stories is planning to find out, as long as it can raise enough cash via Kickstarter, where it’s hoping to make $36,000. It’s only got eight days left and still has a long way to go!

The show, which has a bisexual heroine, is a ‘comedic love story, based in the elevator of a NYC apartment building, between Ezabel (a fashionista, serial dater who is searching for “the one”) and Samantha (a struggling comic book artist) who moves into the building with her overbearing best friend, Bonnie. The series will delve into the lives and relationships between these characters, along with some of Ezabel’s many exes (Adam, Frank, and Tatiana) within the building. Each episode is based on a page out of Samantha’s comic book, which will feature the aforementioned characters.’

The makers are also keen to point out that it is, ‘created and written by multi-ethnic women, who are proud members of the LGBTQ community. Led by a strong female driven cast, our series will explore diversity, love, contemporary social issues and relationships in a comedic and honest way.’

A talented cast and crew are in place, including Jillian Rose Reed, best known as Tamara in MTV’s Awkward. It looks like it could be an interesting one, so if you want to help out, take a look at the video below and then head over to Kickstarter. [Read more…]

New Paranormal Activity: The Ghost Dimension Trailer – Secrets are promised from the final instalment

October 8, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

paranormal-activity-ghost-dimension-poster-slideAfter lacklustre box office for Paranormal Activity 4, the main franchise took a bit of a break (although the spin-off The Marked Ones), but now it’s coming back with what’s currently planned as the final instalment. As you’d hope, it promises to reveal all the series’ secrets.

This time the action goes back in time to show us a little more about the entity that plagued various people in the other movies. It follows Ryan, Emily and their daughter Leila, who unsurprisingly get plagued by something demonic – all of which is captured of video, of course, as apparently this is a supernatural baddie with a big ego, who must be on camera at all times.

The movie will also feature the return of Katie Featherstone from the first film, in demonic form.

The film will be out towards the end of the month. [Read more…]

Tatiana Maslany Joins Jake Gyllenhaal In Boston Marathon Bombing Movie, Stronger

October 8, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

tatiana-maslanyShortly after the Boston Marathon bombing there was an unsurprising but rather unsightly scramble to start developing movies about the events. Thankfully things slowed down after that initial rush, but now one is moving forward, Stronger, which Jake Gyllenhaal is set to star in.

Now Orphan Black star Tatiana Maslany is in talks to join him, according to TheWrap.

Gyllenhaal is set to play  Jeff Bauman, who survived the bombing but lost both legs. Bauman had a central role in the event, as film will ‘detail the aftermath of the 2013 attack at the marathon finish line, where Bauman had been cheering for his girlfriend [to be played by Maslany]. A photo of Bauman moments after the blast remains one of the best-known images from the tragedy, which killed three and injured more than 260. When Bauman awoke the next day after surgeries and realized he could not speak, he asked for a pad and paper and wrote: “Saw the guy. Looked right at me.” That set off a massive manhunt for Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, who was convicted of the murders in April.’

David Gordon Green is set to direct the movie, with John Pollono writing the script, based on a book by Bauman and Bret Witter.

Take A First Look At Disney’s Latest Princess, Moana

October 7, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

moana-pic1It’s been a long time now that Dwayne Johnson has been attached to voice a character in Disney’s planned animated movie, Moana. However he’s been the only actor we’ve heard about.

Now Disney has announced who it is who will be playing the title character, with Hawaii-born 14-year old actress Auli’i Cravalho having scored the role. Alongside the news comes the first official picture and a video introducing us to Cravalho.

The first footage from the movie was shown in August as Disney’s D23 expo, and it was enthusiastically received by those who were there. That footage hasn’t been released online, so sadly we can’t all judge what it was like.

Ron Clements and John Musker (The Little Mermaid) are set to direct the movie. Here’s the synopsis: ‘In the ancient South Pacific world of Oceania, Moana, a born navigator, sets sail in search of a fabled island. During her incredible journey, she teams up with her hero, the legendary demi-god Maui, to traverse the open ocean on an action-packed voyage, encountering enormous sea creatures, breathtaking underworlds and ancient folklore.’

Dwayne Johnson is set to voice demi-god Maui, who’s the other character in the pic above.

It’ll be in cinemas towards the end of next year. [Read more…]

October 6, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

mockingjay-part-2-poster2-slideOn November 19th we’ll get to see how The Hunger Games series comes to an end with Mockingjay – Part 2. It’s certainly been quite a ride to get here, with some really good movies which have become box office titans.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘With the nation of Panem in a full scale war, Katniss confronts President Snow [Donald Sutherland] in the final showdown. Teamed with a group of her closest friends – including Gale [Liam Hemsworth], Finnick [Sam Claflin], and Peeta [Josh Hutcherson] – Katniss goes off on a mission with the unit from District 13 as they risk their lives to liberate the citizens of Panem, and stage an assassination attempt on President Snow who has become increasingly obsessed with destroying her.

‘The mortal traps, enemies, and moral choices that await Katniss will challenge her more than any arena she faced in The Hunger Games.’
