They seems to have confused the word ‘nice’ with ‘good-looking’ in the title of the film The Nice Guys, as it’s already got Ryan Gosling set to star, and now Deadline reports Matt Bomer has signed up too. Russell Crowe is also onboard, as is Margaret Qually.
The film is about muscle-for-hire Jackson Healy (Crowe), a recovering alcoholic, and private detective Holland March (Gosling), a current alcoholic, who are brought together by the apparent suicide of a porn star. However the dead woman’s aunt claims that she saw her niece alive and well after she was supposed to have killed herself. March takes on the case hoping to make some easy money, but soon both men are dragged into a far-reaching conspiracy that is rooted in smog and the car industry.
There’s not too much info on who Bomer will play, other than that he’s described as being ‘the heavy’. Qually meanwhile is daughter of a corrupt chief justice, who just happens to look an awful lot like the dead woman.
Shane Black is directing from a script he co-wrote with Anthony Bagarozzi. Bomer will head to the set as soon as he’s finished filming Magic Mike XXL.
The Nice Guys is due out June 2016.

The TV series Arrow may be fun (and very shirtless), but its actual LGBT content has been pretty mild, limited to a bisexual female character who for 90% of the time they’ve been only shown being interested in guys. It’s been a particular surprise as the show’s creator and driving force, Greg Berlanti, is gay (and incidentally dating LA Galaxy soccer player Robbie Rogers).
It’s just a week and a half until the BFI London Film Festival kicks off on October 8th, and it’s laying out its stall right from the beginning that this year there’s plenty of LGBT interest. The festival kicks off with an Opening Night Gala of The Imitation Game, the Benedict Cumberbatch starring biopic of gay mathematician and codebreaker Alan Turing.
LGBT focused US TV network Logo seems fascinated by those defying the sexual orientation stereotypes this year. Back in June they aired Gay Lives of Straight Guys, about lady-loving fellows in professions that most people thinks being for women and gay men.
There’s been a lot written about the situation for gay people in Russia, with the country becoming increasingly homophobic – or at least the most virulent homophobes feel they have free rein ever since Putin enacted the infamous ‘gay propaganda’ law.
Leonardo DiCaprio and his Appian Way production company are heading into the wild by snapping up the rights to an upcoming book about a wolf that charmed people around the world. It’s a fitting deal in the same week that Leo gave a speech at the UN where he championed the environment.
Predestination looks like it could be yet another Ethan Hawke movie that’s surprisingly watchable and could do good business, but which probably won’t see him rise back up the star tree. It sees him reunite with Daybreakers directors Michael and Peter Spierig for a time travel tale.
