Vin Diesel Offers The First Look At The Last Witch Hunter

September 5, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

last-witch-hunter-pic1Vin Diesel loves to be the first person to release images and news from any film he’s working on, and he’s done it again with The Last Witch Hunter, by posting the image above on his Facebook page, along with the slightly cryptic message, 13th century Kaulder… The Last Witch Hunter begins…’

In the movie Diesel plays one of the last remaining witch hunters, who has to partner with his longtime enemy (Rose Leslie) to prevent an evil coven from destroying New York City. Michael Caine and Elijah Wood are also set to star.

Breck Eisner is set to direct the film, working from a screenplay by Burk Sharpless and Matt Sazama (Dracula Untold). It’s not clear yet when it will be release.

Margot Robbie On For Ghost in the Shell Movie

September 5, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Margot-RobbieAfter the endless issues getting a live-action version of Akira off the ground, you might have thought Hollywood would have given up on trying to adapt manga for the big screen. Now one is getting a bit closer though, as Wolf Of Wall Street’s Margot Robbie is in early negotiations to star in Dreamworks’ live-action adaptation of Ghost in the Shell, according to TheWrap.

The movie’s been in the works for over five years (it’s a bit of a passion project for Steven Spielberg), but got momentum back in January when Rupert Sanders signed up to star.

The project is based on Masamune Shirow’s 1989 Manga, which is about a covert unit within the Japanese National Public Safety Commission who fight tech-related crimes. Since it’s publication, it’s been adapted into an animate powerhouse franchise with the likes of Ghost In The Shell, Ghost in the Shell 2: Innocence, Ghost in the Shell: Individual Eleven, Ghost in the Shell: Solid State Society, Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex – The Laughing Man and Ghost in the Shell 2.0. It’s also been turned into successful videogames.

There’s still no news on when the film will shoot though.

The film is based on the Japanese Manga comics created by Masamune Shirow and follows a member of a covert ops unit of the Japanese National Public Safety Commission focused on fighting technological crime.
Margot Robbie’s role is currently undecided. The actress most recently starring in Martin Scorsese’s The Wolf of Wall Street alongside Leonardo DiCaprio and Jonah Hill. She will next be seen in the Warner Bros. drama Focus and Craig Zobel’s sci-fi project Z for Zachariah. She is currently shooting Tarzan in which she stars as Jane opposite Alexander Skarsgå.
Rupert Sanders is directing from a script by Bill Wheeler. Avi Arad, Steven Paul and Mark Sourian will be producing. No production schedule has been released.

Zac Efron & Robert de Niro To Team Up For Dirty Grandpa

September 5, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

zac-efron-slideRobert De Niro and Zac Efron may not be most the first duo people would think of for a comedy partnerst, but it looks like it will happen, as the two actors are in early talks to star in Dirty Grandpa, according to THR.

The movie is about is about, ‘a young man (Efron) who is tricked into driving his grandfather (De Niro), a perverted former Army general who thinks his grandson is about to marry the wrong woman, to Florida for spring break.’

Borat and Bruno co-writer Dan Mazer is set to directing from a script by John Phillips.

It’ll be interesting to see how Efron and De Niro measure up against each other in what sounds like it’ll be a bit of a gross-out comedy.

Katniss Joins The Rebel Warriors In A New Hunger Games: Mockingjay Poster

September 5, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Hunger-Games-Mockingjay-resistance-poster7Last week a series of character posters arrived introducing us to the Rebel Warriors of The Hunger Games: Mockingjay. However there was one person missing – the woman being lined up as the poster girl of the fight against the Capitol, Katniss Everdeen.

That’s now been remedied though with the poster above.

In Mockingjay Part 1, Revolution seems inevitable, but Katniss still isn’t sure if she wants to be the public face of it, even if the Districts do need someone to rally around.

The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1 is due out November 21st, 2014, with the final film (until an inevitable further sequel or spin-off is announced), The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 2, out the same time the following year.

Jessica Chastain & Kristen Wiig May Star Opposite Matt Damon In The Martian

September 3, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

jessica-chastainFor a few months now Matt Damon and Ridley Scott have been preparing to team up for The Martian. While the film is largely about a man stranded alone on Mars, he’s not 100% of the story, and now it looks like he’s getting some company, as Variety and Deadline report that Jessica Chastain and Kristen Wiig are circling the movie.

There’s no news on who they might play, although it’s likely one of the actresses will be the Commander of the NASA mission that results in Damon get stuck on the Red Planet, while the other will be back at Mission Control on Earth.

The film is based on the self-published e-book by Andy Weir, with Drew Goddard having adapted the script (Goddard at one time was set to direct, but was replaced by Scott after Drew went off to make the Spider-man spin-off The Sinister Six).

George Clooney Is Getting Into The Hacking Scandal By Directing A New Movie

September 3, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

george-clooneyIt’s not too surprising that Hollywood has been sniffing around the UK phone hacking scandal, but it’s even less surprising that it’s Rupert Murdoch’s 20th Century Fox won’t be making it.

Now Sony’s Hack Attack has a director, and it’s none other the George Clooney.

The film is an adaptation of journalist Nick Davies’ account of the British phone hacking scandal, which has surrounded Rupert Murdoch’s news empire for the last few years.

According to Variety, ‘Davies investigated News Corporation and its subsidiary, News International; his book shows how their habit of hacking into the voicemail messages of elected officials, celebrities, and even ordinary British citizens and the victims of terror attacks was wide-ranging and ongoing. The resulting scandal would not only mark the end of News of the World after 168 years of continuous publication, but spur a government inquiry that would bring to light some of the most unthinkable of business practices.’

“This has all the elements – lying, corruption, blackmail – at the highest levels of government by the biggest newspaper in London,” Clooney comment. “And the fact that it’s true is the best part. Nick is a brave and stubborn reporter and we consider it an honor to put his book to film.”

All Clooney’s films have had a political and social edge, and Hack Attack has the added interest for him that he’s the son of a journalist himself. There’s no news on when it might shoot.

New The Equalizer Trailer & Clip – Denzel Washington wants justice for Chloe Moretz

September 3, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

the-equalizer-2014-slideIt seems like we’ve been waiting an awful long time for The Equalizer. After all, it went into production over a year ago and the first image arrived last December. However we’ll be able to finally see Denzel Washington’s take on the 80s TV series later this month.

And Sony must have high hopes for it, as they started developing a sequel last February.

Now a new trailer has arrived (via Enimen’s Youtube channel, no less), along with a clip and featurette, all of which you can watch below.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘In The Equalizer, Denzel Washington plays McCall, a former black ops commando who has faked his death to live a quiet life in Boston. When he comes out of his self-imposed retirement to rescue a young girl, Teri (Chloë Grace Moretz), he finds himself face to face with ultra-violent Russian gangsters. As he serves vengeance against those who brutalize the helpless, McCall’s desire for justice is reawakened. If someone has a problem, the odds are stacked against them, and they have nowhere else to turn, McCall will help. He is The Equalizer.’

The film arrives in cinemas on September 26th. [Read more…]

Cymbeline Trailer – Ethan Hawke and Milla Jovovich give Shakespeare a Sons Of Anarchy style twist

September 3, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

cymbeline-slideCymbeline may not be the most famous of Shakespeare’s tales, but decided it was good enough to do what he did with Hamlet back in 2000, and given it a modern day retelling.

As with Hamlet, he’s brought Ethan Hawke onboard to star, with Ed Harris, Milla Jovovich, John Leguizamo, Penn Badgley, Dakota Johnson and Anton Yelchin also starring.

Cymbeline tells the tale as an epic battle between dirty cops and a drug dealing biker gang set in a corruption-riddled 21st century America. King Cymbeline, leader of the Briton Motorcycle Club, clashes with the corrupt Roman Police while his radiant but disobedient daughter Imogen fends off assaults on her honor and her life. Cymbeline’s wife and her son aspire to take over the king’s empire, and Imogen’s marriage to Posthumus is undermined by sinister interference from Iachimo, a malevolent stranger. Shakespeare’s timeless themes are love and betrayal, revenge and forgiveness, death and renewal.

In the original play Imogen dresses as a boy and leaves to go and find her exiled lover, but whether the new film will feature any cross-dressing is yet to be seen. Cymbeline premieres imminently at Venice, with a cinema release expected next year. [Read more…]
