Lost River Teaser Trailer – Matt Smith gets muscly & Iain De Caestecker watches in Ryan Gosling’s directorial debut

May 19, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Matt Smith has been working out and this first teaser for Ryan Gosling’s directorial debut wants to prove it – after all, Smith spends a good chunk of it repeating ‘Look at my muscles’ over and over again.

It’s a little odd, slightly hyper-real, a bit ethereal and very intriguing, even if it doesn’t go that deep into the more fantastical elements of the movie.

The film has been described as being ‘Set against the surreal dreamscape of a vanishing city, BILLY, a single mother of two, is swept into a macabre and dark fantasy underworld while BONES, her eighteen-year-old son, discovers a secret road leading to an underwater town. Both Billy and Bones must dive deep into the mystery, if their family is to survive.’

Iain De Caestecker, who co-stars and is the other main presence in the trailer, told Empire last year, “There’s my character, Bones, his mother and his younger brother. There’s also a girl next door played by Saoirse Ronan, called Rat. It’s about this family living in a town called Lost River, which is perhaps a place that was once full of family and happiness and love, and is now this town that’s slowly descending into a place without any hope. This family is holding onto the foundations of their house and everything they think they need to hold onto.” [Read more…]

Boyfriends Michael Urie & Ryan Spahn Take On A Gay Comedy

May 19, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

michael-urie-ryan-spahnChicago theatre company About Face Theatre’s Pride Performance Series just got a little bit starrier, as The Advocate reports that Ugly Betty’s Michael Urie and his real-life boyfriend Ryan Spahn will kick things off with a reading of The Last Sunday in June by gay playwright Jonathan Tolins.

They will play ‘Tom and Michael [who] intend to spend the day planning their impending move from the Big Apple to the upstate town of Nyack, but their plans are rerouted as one friend after another drops by to view the parade from the window of their Christopher Street apartment. An afternoon originally designated for things domestic instead turns into a series of conversations about relationships, self-acceptance and the very meaning of what it is to be gay, eventually calling into question Tom and Michael’s relationship itself.’

The play first premiered back in 2003 at Off-Broadway’s Rattlestick Playwrights Theater, but this performance will take place at the Greenhouse Theater in Chicago on June 2nd. You can find out more here.

Urie is actually in the Windy City with his one-man show, Buyer & Cellar (which was also written by Tolins), which runs until June 15 at the Broadway Playhouse.

New Guardians Of The Galaxy Trailer – Chris Pratt and co. get into a massive space opera

May 19, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Post by Guardians of the Galaxy.

As promised, Marvel has released a new trailer for Guardians Of The Galaxy, and it’s looking good. Thankfully along with the vast amounts of special effects, it seems like the film will have a sense of humour.

And if you’re wondering what Rocket Raccoon and Groot sound like, this is the trailer for you.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘From Marvel, the studio that brought you the global blockbuster franchises of Iron Man, Thor, Captain America and The Avengers, comes a new team—the Guardians of the Galaxy. An action-packed, epic space adventure, Marvel’s “Guardians of the Galaxy” expands the Marvel Cinematic Universe into the cosmos, where brash adventurer Peter Quill finds himself the object of an unrelenting bounty hunt after stealing a mysterious orb coveted by Ronan, a powerful villain with ambitions that threaten the entire universe. To evade the ever-persistent Ronan, Quill is forced into an uneasy truce with a quartet of disparate misfits—Rocket, a gun-toting raccoon, Groot, a tree-like humanoid, the deadly and enigmatic Gamora and the revenge-driven Drax the Destroyer. But when Quill discovers the true power of the orb and the menace it poses to the cosmos, he must do his best to rally his ragtag rivals for a last, desperate stand—with the galaxy’s fate in the balance.

‘Marvel’s “Guardians of the Galaxy,” which first appeared in comic books in Marvel Super-Heroes, Issue #18 (Jan. 1969). James Gunn is the director of the film with Kevin Feige producing, and Louis D’Esposito, Victoria Alonso, Jeremy Latcham, Alan Fine and Stan Lee serve as executive producers. The story is by Nicole Perlman and James Gunn, with screenplay by James Gunn. Marvel’s “Guardians of the Galaxy” releases in UK cinemas on August 1, 2014.’ [Read more…]

Hellion Trailer – Aaron Paul gets really beardy for a new thriller

May 19, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

If you, like many others, have spent night awake wondering how full a beard Aaron Paul can grow, then Hellion is the movie for you!

But it’s not just about his beard.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Breaking Bad’s Aaron Paul stars in this riveting drama about a family under siege. Hard-drinking Texas single dad Hollis (Paul) struggles to raise his two boys, including rebellious teenager Jacob (first-time actor Josh Wiggins in a stunning breakthrough performance). Seething with anger, Jacob finds release in the high-risk, white-knuckle world of motocross—but his increasingly reckless behavior threatens to spin out of control. Academy Award nominee Juliette Lewis co-stars in this thrilling saga of fathers and sons that builds towards a heart-stopping climax, all set to an electrifying heavy metal soundtrack.’

The movie is out in the US in June.

And if Aaron Paul ever wants to go to any bear bars, we’re sure he’ll get a warm welcome. [Read more…]

Foxcatcher Teaser Trailer – Steve Carell & Channing Tatum stars in the Cannes hit

May 19, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

It may be eight months until the Oscars, but thanks to glowing reviews at Cannes, Foxcatcher has emerges as the first frontrunner and some are already suggesting Steve Carell (and his prosthetic nose) and going to walk off with the Best Actor Oscar?

So are they right? Well, we can now have our first taster, thanks to a teaser that’s been released.

The drama is based on the true tale of Olympic wrestler Dave Schultz (Mark Ruffalo), who was murdered by his paranoid schizophrenic friend Jon Du Pont (Steve Carell) in 1996. Du Pont was an heir to the Du Pont chemical company, who teamed up with Dave’s brother Mark (Tatum) to build a wrestling training facility known as ‘Team Foxcatcher’ on his sprawling Pennsylvania estate. The Schultzes tried to get Du Pont help for years before the murder. Sienna Miller plays Nancy, Doug Schultz’s wife,

Bennett Miller directs from a screenplay by Dan Futterman and E. Max Frye. It’s out in the US on December 20th, with a mid-January UK date set. [Read more…]

May 19, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Braff stars in the film and has lined up some great company, including Kate Hudson, Mandy Patinkin, Josh Gad, Joey King, Jim Parsons, Ashley Greene, and his old Scrubs chum, Donald Faison.

The film is due out in the US on July 25th, 2014. [Read more…]

Hugh Dancy Up For Rupert Everett’s Oscar Wilde Biopic The Happy Prince

May 19, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

hugh-dancyHugh Dancy may spend part of the year being a bit nuts in Hannibal, but now he’s got a plan for the autumn, as ScreenDaily reports that he’s signed on for Rupert Everett’s long-gestating Oscar Wilde biopic, The Happy Prince.

Everett has been planning the movie, which will also serve as his feature directorial debut, since 2012, but now he’s finally pulling it together and hopes to shoot this October.

The film is said to focus on Oscar’s final days. It will see Wilde considering his own failure through his trademark wit and irony. After his imprisonment for homosexuality, Wilde spent his days in self-imposed exile in France. He briefly reunited with his love, Lord Alfred Douglas, but was kept away from his children. Although he published The Ballad Of Reading Gaol, he did very little writing and his health began to fail (partly due to poverty). He died of cerebral meningitis at the age of 46.

ScreenDaily doesn’t say who Dancy will play, but Lord Alfred Douglas would be a smart bet.

Colin Firth, Edward Fox, Emily Watson and Tom Wilkinson are also onboard the movie, which plan a very multi-national shoot taking in Italy, Belgium, France and the UK.

Alfonso Cuaron In Talks For Harry Potter Spin-Off Fantastic Beasts & Where To Find Them

May 19, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Alfonso-CuaronFor many people the best of the Harry Potter movies is Prisoner Of Azkaban, partly because of the very human touches director Alfonso Cuaron brought to it. However he left Hogwarts after that movie, but now he’s may be returning to the Potter univeser, as Nikki Finke has tweeted:

‘I hear Alfonso Cuaron (‘Gravity’, ‘HP/Azkaban’) deep in talks to direct JK Rowling’s Harry Potter spinoff ‘Fantastic Beasts’. Perfect pick.’

Assuming Finke’s info is correct (which some are doubting, seeing as Cuaron is just coming off a Best Director Oscar for Gravity and could get anything he wanted off the ground), he would take on Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, based on the textbook Harry uses at Hogwarts. Well, not the actual textbook, but it’s creation.

The film will follows the adventures of the book’s author Newt Scamander 70 years before the Harry Potter first arrives at Hogwarts, as he discovers the terrible beasties that feature in his book. The spin-off will introduce a new set of characters and creatures, although set in a Wizarding universe that will be familiar to HP fans.

JK Rowling herself has been writing the script, while Warner Bros. has set a November 18th, 2016 release date.

How To Train Your Dragon 2 Will Have An Out Gay Character

May 17, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

gobber-how-to-train-your-dragonVikings are particularly well known for their gayness – although there were undoubtedly a fair few who preferred the same sex – but the world of Vikings is getting a bit gayer this summer, as How To Train Your Dragon 2 will include an out gay character.

It’s someone we’ve met before, as Gobber The Belch, the man who teaches youngsters how to train dragons, is the one who’s coming out.

Apparently it wasn’t in the original script, but Craig Ferguson added a subtle coming out moment as an ad lib. The scene in question sees Gobber watching a husband and wife argue, before saying “This is why I never got married”. He then adds that there’s one more reason.

While Gobber doesn’t say exactly what that reason is, director Dean DeBlois isn’t leaving us in any doubt. He tells E!, “When we were recording Craig Ferguson, I had written the line, ‘This is why I never got married,” and he, as he often does, added it as an ad lib and he said, ‘Yup, Gobber is coming out of the closet. I think that’s a really fun [and] daring move to put in. I love the idea that Gobber is Berk’s resident gay.”

He’s not the first out gay character in a mainstream animated movie, as one of the characters in ParaNorman reveals towards the end that he has a boyfriend, but it’s still relatively rare.

You’ll be able to see for yourself when the film hits cinemas (June 13th in the US and July 3th in the UK).

Interstellar Trailer – Matthew McConaughey is heading into space for Christopher Nolan

May 17, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment


So far the promotion of Christopher Nolan’s Interstellar has been pretty low key, as while the loose plot details we’ve had have suggested a big space adventure, the marketing has been pretty earthbound.

That’s true of the beginning of this trailer – but things aren’t going very well for the planet. So it’s time to send Matthew McConaughey and Anne Hathaway into space!

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Directed and co-written by Christopher Nolan (“Inception,” “The Dark Knight” Trilogy), the production will travel the globe and utilize a mixture of 35mm anamorphic and IMAX film photography to bring to the screen a script based on the combination of an original idea by Nolan and an existing script by Jonathan Nolan, originally developed for Paramount Pictures and producer Lynda Obst. The new script chronicles the adventures of a group of explorers who make use of a newly discovered wormhole to surpass the limitations on human space travel and conquer the vast distances involved in an interstellar voyage.

‘“Interstellar” features a prestigious cast that includes Matthew McCaughey (“Magic Mike,” “Mud”), Academy Award® winner Anne Hathaway (“Les Miserables,” “The Dark Knight Rises”), Academy Award® nominee Jessica Chastain (“Zero Dark Thirty,” “The Tree of Life”), Bill Irwin (“Rachel Getting Married,” TV’s “CSI: Crime Scene Investigation”), Academy Award® nominee John Lithgow (“Terms of Endearment,” “Rise of the Planet of the Apes”), Academy Award® nominee Casey Affleck (“The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford,” “Gone Baby Gone”), David Gyasi (“Cloud Atlas”), Wes Bentley (“The Hunger Games”), Mackenzie Foy (“The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Parts 1 and 2”), Timothée Chalamet (TV’s “Homeland”), Topher Grace (“Spider-Man 3”), David Oyelowo (“Jack Reacher,” “Rise of the Planet of the Apes”), Academy Award® winner Ellen Burstyn (“The Last Picture Show,” “The Exorcist”), and Academy Award® winner Michael Caine (“The Cider House Rules,” “The Dark Knight” Trilogy).’

The film’s due out in November. [Read more…]
