Henry Cavill, Armie Hammer & More Get Man From U.N.C.L.E Character Posters

July 1, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

UNCLE_Henry_2764x4096_INTL_master-slideThe Man From U.N.C.L.E. is still one of the big unknowns of the summer, but it’s only a few weeks until we’ll discover whether audiences are interested in Guy Ritchie’s big screen take on the classic 60s TV series.

A set of character posters have arrived, which you can see above and below.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Henry Cavill (“Man of Steel”) stars as Napoleon Solo opposite Armie Hammer (“The Social Network”) as Illya Kuryakin in director Guy Ritchie’s “The Man from U.N.C.L.E.,” a fresh take on the hugely popular 1960s television series.

‘Set against the backdrop of the early 1960s, at the height of the Cold War, “The Man from U.N.C.L.E.” centers on CIA agent Solo and KGB agent Kuryakin. Forced to put aside longstanding hostilities, the two team up on a joint mission to stop a mysterious international criminal organization, which is bent on destabilizing the fragile balance of power through the proliferation of nuclear weapons and technology. The duo’s only lead is the daughter of a vanished German scientist, who is the key to infiltrating the criminal organization, and they must race against time to find him and prevent a worldwide catastrophe.

‘“The Man from U.N.C.L.E” also stars Alicia Vikander (“Anna Karenina”), Elizabeth Debicki (“The Great Gatsby”), with Jared Harris (“Sherlock Holmes: Game of Shadows”), and Hugh Grant as Waverly.’

The film’s in cinemas August 14th. [Read more…]

Treasure Trailer – Taking a hard look at a hideous trans hate crime

June 27, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

treasure-slideWhile it feels like strides are being taken in society’s acceptance of transexual people, the fact remains that they suffer a massively disproportionate amount of violence, with far too many murders of trans people reported each year.

The documentary Treasure focuses on one particularly hideous hate crime, when in October 2011 Shelly ‘Treasure’ Hilliard was murdered, dismembered and set on fire. It was later discovered that the 19-year-old may have been forced to be a police informant, and that the cops may have known more about the danger she was in than they admitted.

However the film doesn’t just concentrate on the negative, as it is also, as Out puts it, ‘about the community that Hilliard was a part of, one of activists and friends with roots at The Ruth Ellis Center outside of Detroit, where they received support, counseling, and training to lead social justice workshops.’

Take a look at the trailer below. [Read more…]

Ralph Fiennes Plans Film About Bisexual Dancer Rudolph Nureyev

June 27, 2015 By Tim Isaac 2 Comments

ralph-fiennes-rudolph-nureyevWith Coriolanus and The Invisible Woman Ralph Fiennes has shown he doesn’t just have talent in front of the camera, he’s a pretty good director too. Where to order Kamagra, here https://www.hksurgeon.com/kamagra/ cheapest Sildenafil no prescription. While Fiennes also starred in both those movies, he now plans to make a film he won’t also appear in, about legendary dancer Rudolph Nureyev.

Screen Daily says that it’s not known what the exact plot will be, but that ‘the film is understood not to be a biopic but instead charts a specific incident in the life of the celebrated dancer who defected from the Soviet Union to the West in 1961, despite KGB efforts to stop him.’

He’s certainly a figure who did plenty of things you could make an interesting movie about, not least his defection and a dancing career that made his one of the most famous ballet practitioners in history. It may also take in his sexuality. Nureyev largely had relationships with men (although he did date women as a young man, and there are rumours about his seducing prominent ladies during the height on his fame), mostably with fellow dancer Erik Bruhn, with whom he had an on-again-off-again relationship for over 25 years. However if the movie takes place before Nureyev defected that relationship won’t feature, as they didn’t meen until Rudolph went West. It’ll be interesting to see how his sexuality features in the movie.

Sadly the great dancer died of AIDS in 1993, aged 53.

Legend Trailer – Tom Hardy is the infamous Kray Twins, including the one who ‘prefers boys’

June 27, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

legend-slide1Tom Hardy pulls double duty in Legend, starring opposite himself as both of the infamous Kray twins, who rules the London underworld in the 1960s and became celebrities in their own right while doing it. Now a proper trailer has arrived, which you can see below.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘From Academy Award® winner Brian Helgeland (L.A. Confidential, Mystic River) comes the true story of the rise and fall of London’s most notorious gangsters, Reggie and Ron Kray, both portrayed by Tom Hardy in an incredible performance. LEGEND is a classic crime thriller taking us into the secret history of the 1960s and the extraordinary events that secured the infamy of the Kray Twins.’

What hadn’t been clear up until now is whether the film would hide the fact that Ronnie Kray was bisexual (while some say he exclusively slept with men, he identified as bisexual), but the trailer let’s us now this will be a feature, with Reggie letting us know he ‘prefers boys’. Although him being so upfront about this may seem odd for the 60s, it is known that that he was pretty open about it, as he knew no one would dare say anything about it to his face – especially because, as the trailer shows, he was pretty nuts.

Emily Browning (Sucker Punch), David Thewlis (The Theory of Everything, The Harry Potter series), Christopher Eccleston (Thor: The Dark World) and Taron Egerton (Kingsman: The Secret Service) also star. Legend is released in cinemas across the UK on September 11th. [Read more…]

Ezra Miller In Talks For Harry Potter Spin-off Fantastic Beasts, Opposite Eddie Redmayne

June 25, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Ezra-MillerIf you were going to put a bet on which actor fame was going to go into overdrive in the next couple of year, Ezra Miller would be a safe choice. He’s already been chosen to be The Flash in Warner’s Justice League project (he’ll first be seen as the character in Batman vs. Superman next year), and now the studio is also trying to line him up for their Harry Potter spin-off, Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them, according to Variety.

He’s currently in talks for the role of Kredan in the JK Rowling scripted movie (which is due to become a trilogy), which already has Eddie Redmayne and Katherine Waterston onboard. Harry Potter helmer David Yates is due to direct.

The movie is set 70 years before the Harry Potter movies and follows ‘magiczoologist’ Scamander after he sets out to write the book Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them (which is one of Harry’s textbooks). Waterston will play a witch called Tina (short for Porpetina) who Newt meets on his travels.

Kredan meanwhile is ‘a person with magical powers who encounters… Scamander when he stops in New York City on his travels to find and document magical creatures.’ And knowing how Rowling names her characters, there’s a possibility he won’t be a good guy.

The film is due out Nov. 18, 2016.

Emma Watson Joins The Circle Opposite Tom Hanks

June 25, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

emma watsonEmma Watson is busy being Belle in Disney’s live-action version of Beauty And The Beast, but she’s already lining up new projects, with TheWrap reporting that following Alicia Vikander’s departure from James Ponsoldt’s The Circle, Emma Watson has stepped in.

Tom Hanks is also attached to the techno thriller based on Dave Eggers’ novel, with Watson as ‘a young woman who’s hired for a big job in an Internet monopoly called the Circle, which links users’ personal emails, social media, banking, and purchasing with their universal operating system, resulting in one online identity and a new age of civility and transparency. It’s there that she meets a mysterious older man, who will be played by two-time Oscar winner Hanks.’

“Emma Watson is one of my favorite actors, and her incredible talent, sensitivity, and deep intelligence will bring an electric energy to ‘The Circle,’” said Ponsoldt.

First Look At Taye Diggs As Hedwig & The Angry Inch

June 24, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

taye-diggs-hedwig1Taye Diggs has always looked good (and never ages either), be we have to say he’s looking particularly hot covered in glitter in the first look at him in character in the title role in Hedwig And The Angry Inch.

While Diggs is best known to many for his roles in TV’s Private Practice and Murder In The First, he has a great musical theatre pedigree, having first really been noticed as part of the original cast of Rent and also appeared in the likes of Chicago (both on stage and in the movie version). However this will be his first Broadway role since briefly appearing in Wicked 12 years ago.

Diggs is the first African-American actor to take on the role of the East German title character, who was left with an angry inch after a botched sex change operation that she had in order to get into the US with her American GI lover. Hedwig then started dating young Tommy Gnosis, who left her behind when he took her music and became a rock star – leaving her understandably bitter (but still very funny), and ready to recount her tale for the audience.

Taye has signed up for a 12 week stint in the show, starting July 22nd.

Paul Rudd & More Get Ant-Man Character Posters

June 24, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

ant-man-character-poster1The one thing the world has always needed is more posters where the person in it is all blurry. Ant-Man has decided to help the cause with a series of character posters where the main thing in focus in the little hero and not the character he’s with.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘The next evolution of the Marvel Cinematic Universe brings a founding member of The Avengers to the big screen for the first time with Marvel Studios’ “Ant-Man.” Armed with the astonishing ability to shrink in scale but increase in strength, master thief Scott Lang must embrace his inner-hero and help his mentor, Dr. Hank Pym, protect the secret behind his spectacular Ant-Man suit from a new generation of towering threats. Against seemingly insurmountable obstacles, Pym and Lang must plan and pull off a heist that will save the world.

‘Marvel’s “Ant-Man” stars Paul Rudd as Scott Lang aka Ant-Man, Evangeline Lilly as Hope Van Dyne, Corey Stoll as Darren Cross aka Yellowjacket, Bobby Cannavale as Paxton, Michael Peña as Luis, Judy Greer as Maggie, Tip “Ti” Harris as Dave, David Dastmalchian as Kurt, Wood Harris as Gale, Jordi Mollà as Castillo and Michael Douglas as Hank Pym. Directed by Peyton Reed and produced by Kevin Feige, Marvel’s “Ant-Man” delivers a high-stakes, tension-filled adventure on July 17, 2015.’

Tom Holland Is The New Spider-man, With Jon Watts Directing Standalone Film

June 23, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

tom-hollandA few months ago came the major announcement that Spider-man would be joining the Marvel Universe with an appearance in Captain America: Civil War. However despite the fact that movie has been shooting for a while now, no new Spidey was announced to replace the sadly departing Andrew Garfield.

That’s changed now though, as the young man who’s seemed like the frontrunner for several weeks, Tom Holland, has landed the role. Yep, it’s another Brit.

The accompanying press release says that the ‘studios and producers were impressed by Holland’s performances in The Impossible, Wolf Hall, and the upcoming In the Heart of the Sea, and by a series of complex screen tests.’ And unlike either Garfield or Tobey Maguire, he is actually still a teenager.

He will first been seen in the role in Civil War, which opens May 2016, before getting his own standalone movie on July 28th, 2017. Sony also announced who would direct that movie, going with Jon Watts, director of Cop Car, the upcoming thriller that made its debut earlier this year at the Sundance Film Festival.

He’s certainly a brave choice but it seems increasingly popular to put superhero movies in the hands of up and comers who have indie cred but little mega-budget Hollywood experience.
