Aaron Taylor-Johnson & Michael Shannon Will Be Nocturnal Animals Alongside Jake Gyllenhaal

August 6, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

avengers-age-of-ultron-aaron-taylor-johnsonTom Ford had great success going from fashion designed to film director with A Single Man, and now he’s planning his second movie, Nocturnal Animals, and is lining up a great cash to cast. Amy Adams and Jake Gyllenhaal are already attached to star, and now they’re being joined by Michael Shannon and Aaron Taylor-Johnson, according to Variety.

Adapted from Austin Wright’s 1993 novel Tony And Susan, Nocturnal Animals sees, ‘The first of the two-part story follows a woman (Adams) who receives a book manuscript from her ex-husband, who she left 20 years earlier, asking for her opinion. The second part revolves around a man (Gyllenhaal) whose family vacation turns violent.

‘Shannon will play a detective investigating the violent incident Gyllenhaal’s family is involved with and Taylor-Johnson plays a mysterious figure who may pose a threat to Gyllenhaal’s family.’

The movie should shoot later this year.

Taron Egerton Sought For Robin Hood: Origins

August 6, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

taron-egertonThere are quite a few films based around Robin Hood in development at various studios in Hollywood, all of which are hoping to be the first to reach cinemas. Robin Hood: Origins may have started to move ahead of the pack, as Deadline reports that Taron Egerton is now in talks to play the title role.

As the title suggests the movie will be about the legendary character’s early days. However it’s not going back too far, as here Robin ‘returns from fighting in The Crusades and finds that Sherwood Forest is rife with corruption and evil. He forms a band of outlaws and they take matters into their own hands.’

Egerton’s involvement isn’t guaranteed as he may have scheduling issues with the planned Kingsman sequel. Joby Harold wrote the script, with Otto Bathurst set to direct.

In The Grayscale Trailer – A man leaves his wife and starts to fall for a guy

August 5, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

in-the-greyscale-slideIn the last few years South America has become the brithplace of some of the most interesting gay-themed cinema around. Hopefully that will continue with In The Grayscale, from Chile, which Wolfe Video will release in the US this November.

It’s certainly got a good pedigree, as it won Outstanding First Feature award at the Frameline LGBT film festival in San Francisco.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘When we first encounter successful 35-year-old Bruno (Celhay), he has just made the difficult decision to separate from his loving wife in order to sort through his feelings. His concerned family calls it a selfish choice, and the couple’s young son is understandably confused and hurt by his doting dad’s decision to leave, but their familial bond appears strong. After Bruno is approached to design a new architectural landmark, he is introduced to Fer (Edwards), a local tour guide with unique access to the soul of Santiago’s gorgeous cityscape, both ancient and modern. This professional hookup quickly turns to flirtation and much more, complicated by the undeniable chemistry—intellectual and physical—between the handsome leads.’

Take a look at the trailer below:

August 5, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Deadpool Trailer – The Merc With A Mouth is here and he’s Red Band

August 5, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Deadpool-logo-posterOver the years a Deadpool movie was in the works many fans were worried that the notoriously sarcastic, rude and violent character would get toned down and made family friendly, much as he was in X-Men Origins: Wolverine.

However the first trailer is very keen to show while Deadpool may have come from the X-Men universe, this is going to be an R-rated movie with plenty of blood, bad language and humour – complete with the character’s trademark breaking of the fourth wall.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Based upon Marvel Comics’ most unconventional anti-hero, DEADPOOL tells the origin story of former Special Forces operative turned mercenary Wade Wilson, who after being subjected to a rogue experiment that leaves him with accelerated healing powers, adopts the alter ego Deadpool. Armed with his new abilities and a dark, twisted sense of humor, Deadpool hunts down the man who nearly destroyed his life. Starring Ryan Reynolds, Morena Baccarin, Gina Carano, T.J. Miller and Ed Skrein’.

The movie’s out February 2016. [Read more…]

New Everest Trailer – Jake Gyllenhaal, Sam Worthington & Jason Clarke go mountaineering

August 5, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

everest-poster1-slideThere’s no doubt that things are dangerous when you go mountaineering, and that’s certainly true in Everest, which follows the events of what was the biggest tragedy on the mountain until the recent Nepal earthquake.

Now a new trailer has arrived, which certainly highlights those dangers.

Here the synopsis: ‘Inspired by the incredible events surrounding an attempt to reach the summit of the world’s highest mountain, Everest documents the awe-inspiring journey of two different expeditions challenged beyond their limits by one of the fiercest snowstorms ever encountered by mankind. Their mettle tested by the harshest elements found on the planet, the climbers will face nearly impossible obstacles as a lifelong obsession becomes a breathtaking struggle for survival. The epic adventure stars Jason Clarke, Josh Brolin, John Hawkes, Robin Wright, Michael Kelly, Sam Worthington, Keira Knightley, Emily Watson and Jake Gyllenhaal.’

The film is out in UK Cinemas 18th September. [Read more…]

Chris Pine Ben Foster & Jeff Bridges Team For Comancheria

August 5, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

chris-pineChris Pine, Ben Foster, and Jeff Bridges are all getting together for a film that sounds a little bit western, a little bit heist thriller and a little bit drama. ThePlaylist reports the actors have teamed up for the already shooting Comancheria.

The movie is about, ‘Two brothers (presumably Pine and Foster), one an ex-con and the other a divorced father of two kids, face the foreclosure of their family’s West Texas farm. They team for a skillfully-calculated bank robbing spree that puts them on a collision course with two Texas Rangers determined to take them down.

David Mackenzie, who made the acclaimed prison drama Starred Up, will helm the movie, from a script by Taylor Sheridan (Sicario).

Will Smith Takes On Collateral Beauty, Replacing Hugh Jackman

August 5, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

will-smithWill Smith is the new Hugh Jackman, or at least he is in Collateral Beauty, as Deadline reports that Smith is in talks to replace the Aussie star, who dropped out of the lead role a few weeks ago.

Johnny Depp was previously rumoured to be in the frame, but it’s now gone to Will.

Rooney Mara and Jason Segel are still attached to the movie, which is, ‘about a New York advertising executive (Jackman) who experiences a deep personal tragedy. When his colleagues devise an unconventional plan to break him out of his depression, the plan works, but not in a way that anyone imagined’.

Me and Earl and the Dying Girl director Alfonso Gomez-Rejon will helm the movie, which should shoot later this year.

Stonewall Trailer – Jeremy Irvine fights for gay rights in Roland Emmerich’s movie

August 4, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

stonewall-trailer-slideIt’s certainly worth making a new movie about the Stonewall riots, as while most people have heard of them, even many gay people have no idea what actually happened, beyond the fact it’s the place where the modern gay rights fight is said to have started.

While this trailer suggests Roland Emmerich’s movie might have a slightly simplified take on the events of Stonewall (it is keen to say it’s inspired by events of June 1969, rather than being based on real characters), it still looks like it might be pretty interesting and entertaining.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘STONEWALL is a drama about a fictional young man caught up during the 1969 Stonewall riots. Danny Winters (Jeremy Irvine) is forced to leave behind friends and loved ones when he is kicked out of his parent’s home and flees to New York. Alone in Greenwich Village, homeless and destitute, he befriends a group of street kids who soon introduce him to the local watering hole The Stonewall Inn; however, this shady, mafia-run club is far from a safe-haven.  As Danny and his friends experience discrimination, endure atrocities and are repeatedly harassed by the police, we see a rage begin to build. This emotion runs through Danny and the entire community of young gays, lesbians and drag queens who populate the Stonewall Inn and erupts in a storm of anger. With the toss of a single brick, a riot ensues and a crusade for equality is born.’

Joey King, Jonny Beauchamp, Caleb Landry Jones, Atticus Dean Mitchell, Jonathan Rhys Meyers and Ron Perlman co-star. The movie is out in the US on September 25th. [Read more…]

Fantastic Four Extended Preview – The superhero quartet are back and revamped

August 4, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

fantastic-four-final-poster-slideThere have been rumours of trouble surrounding the production of the reboot of Fantastic Four, which has led some to write it off already. However reports from a couple of preview screenings have been pretty good, and it may end up surprising even the studio (which seems uncertain about the film).

Now we get our best taste yet with a four-minute extended preview of the movie, which you can take a look at below. It actually looks pretty good – more serious than the last take on the Marvel characters, but still with a sense of fun.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘FANTASTIC FOUR, a contemporary re-imagining of Marvel’s original and longest-running superhero team, centers on four young outsiders who teleport to an alternate and dangerous universe, which alters their physical form in shocking ways. Their lives irrevocably upended, the team must learn to harness their new abilities and work together to save Earth from a former friend turned enemy.’

The film is in UK cinemas August 6th. [Read more…]
