New Guardians Of The Galaxy Poster, Plus A Tease Of The Upcoming Trailer

May 17, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

guardians-of-the-galaxy-poster2Marvel is going Guardians Of The Galaxy crazy with a new poster and a tease of the big new trailer that’s due to be released on Monday. And you can see it all right here.

The poster is certainly pretty cool, and the trailer tease suggests we might be getting a pretty good look at the movie on Monday.

Also released are some new characters descriptions:

PETER QUILL (Chris Pratt):
 Peter Quill is an interstellar adventurer who was abducted from Earth at a young age. After recovering an ancient artifact, Quill must rally an unlikely team of cosmic misfits to prevent a powerful villain from destroying the galaxy.

GAMORA (Zoe Saldana):
 Gamora is an orphan from an alien world who was raised by the mysterious Thanos to become the perfect weapon. As Thanos’ personal assassin, Gamora has earned a reputation as a formidable warrior. Gamora now seeks redemption for her past crimes.

DRAX (Dave Bautista):
 A physical brute, Drax has a personal vendetta against Ronan, who killed his family. Now fueled by pure rage, Drax will stop at nothing to take his revenge on the most dangerous being in the galaxy.

GROOT (Vin Diesel): 
Groot descends from a race of walking flora and resembles a sentient tree. Despite his strange appearance and limited communication skills, Groot proves to be a valuable ally and a loyal friend-not only to his fellow bounty hunter Rocket but to the rest of the Guardians of the Galaxy as well.

ROCKET (Bradley Cooper): 
Rocket is a bounty hunter and mercenary whose mastery of weapons and battle tactics make him a formidable warrior, despite being a genetically altered, cybernetically enhanced, talking raccoon. The result of traumatic biological experimentation, Rocket is a genuine gun-toting badass and mechanical genius who has a huge chip on his shoulder.

RONAN (Lee Pace):
 A Kree radical, Ronan continues to fight an ancient war between his people and the Xandarians. Ronan has struck a bargain with the Machiavellian Thanos – retrieve a mysterious artifact, and in exchange Xandar will finally be eradicated. Ronan leads his army to hunt down Peter Quill and the rest of the Guardians of the Galaxy when they come between him and his genocidal goal.

YONDU (Michael Rooker):
 Blue-skinned Yondu is an interstellar bandit who has a less-than-perfect paternal relationship with Peter Quill. As leader of the outlaws known as Ravagers, Yondu and his cohorts pillage their way through the galaxy, taking whatever they want for solely their own benefit.

NEBULA (Karen Gillan): A blue-skinned deadly assassin, Nebula is a loyal lieutenant in Ronan and Thanos’ employ. Her advanced skill set and cybernetic enhancements make her a valuable asset but her resentment of Thanos’ adoptive daughter Gamora may prove to be her Achilles heel.

KORATH (Djimon Hounsou):
 Korath, a powerful ally of the villainous Ronan, is a feared intergalactic hunter. Korath is a pursuer who is dedicated to the kill and focuses only on one thing-his target.

RHOMANN DEY (John C. Reilly): 
Rhomann Dey is a Corpsman in the Nova Corps, the planet Xandar’s military force. Dey is a loyal and trusted officer but his by-the-book attitude takes a detour when he develops an unlikely rapport with Peter Quill.

NOVA PRIME (Glenn Close): 
Nova Prime Irani Rael is in charge of Nova Corps operations throughout the galaxy. From her base of operations on Xandar, the principled and efficient Nova Prime leads her forces with confidence. She defines her mission above all to protect the citizens of Xandar and keep peace.

THE COLLECTOR (Benicio Del Toro):
 Taneleer Tivan, aka The Collector, is the obsessive keeper of the largest collection of interstellar fauna, relics and species in the galaxy. An enigmatic figure, The Collector operates out of a place in space aptly named Knowhere. When he encounters Peter Quill and his band, The Collector attempts to strike a dubious bargain.

Monsters: Dark Continent Trailer – Look out for giant sand bugs!

May 17, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment


2010’s Monsters became a huge success – as it was made for virtually no money (some of the effects were done of home computers) and found an audience all around the world. It also got Gareth Edwards the job directing Godzilla.

It’s taken a while but now comes Monsters: Dark Continent – and as the name of this trailer suggests, you’d better look out for giant sand bugs.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Seven years on from the events of Monsters, and the ‘Infected Zones’ have spread worldwide. Humans have been knocked off the top of the food chain, with disparate communities struggling for survival. American soldiers are being sent abroad to protect US interests from the Monsters, but the war is far from being won.

‘Noah, a haunted soldier with several tours under his belt, is sent on a mission: an American soldier has gone rogue deep in the Infected Zone, and Noah must reach him and take him out. But when Noah’s unit and transport are destroyed, he finds himself with only a young and inexperienced cadet for company – the brother of the man Noah has been sent to kill.

‘The two soldiers must go on a life-altering journey through the dark heart of monster territory, accompanied by a young local woman to guide them. By the time the three of them reach their goal, they will have been forced to confront the fear that the true monsters on the planet may not be alien after all.’

It’s due out in the UK in September. [Read more…]

Benedict Cumberbatch & Will Poulter On For War Drama The Yellow Birds

May 17, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Benedict-CumberbatchLots of new movies have been announced at Cannes and now it’s time for one more, with THR reporting that Benedict Cumberbatch, Tye Sheridan, and Will Poulter will star in The Yellow Birds, with David Lowery directing.

The film is an adaptation of Iraq veteran Kevin Powers’ modern war novel about ‘two soldiers, 21-year-old Private Bartle and 18-year old Private Murphy, who meet in boot camp. Bartle made a promise to Murphy’s mother to guide him home safely and takes the young private under his wing, but soon finds that promise hard to keep as they navigate a war where casual atrocity is a daily occurrence.’

Tom Wolfe has referred to the book as “All Quiet on the Western Front for America’s Arab wars.”

It’s not 100% clear who the actors will play, as Variety suggests it’ll be Cumberbatch and Sheridan as the young soldiers, but Benedict seems a lot old at 37 to play a 21-year-old. It’s more likely Sheridan and Poulter will be the young men, leaving Cumberbatch as an older soldier (presumably their CO).

Helen Mirren & Aaron Paul Join Colin Firth In Drone Thriller Eye in the Sky

Aaron Paul

A few weeks ago it was announced that Colin Firth had signed on to star in and produce a drone thriller called Eye In The Sky. Now he has some company as it’s been revealed that Helen Mirren and Aaron Paul have signed on too.

The movie is described as a ‘contemporary international thriller set in the shadowy world of remotely piloted “drone” warfare, Mirren will star as Colonel Michelle Madden, a military intelligence officer in command of a top secret drone operation. Paul takes the focal role of American drone pilot Steve Watts.’

Watts is sent in to destroy the safe-house in Nairobi, but he realises that taking it out will also put the life of a nine-year-old-girl at risk. With the volatility of the situation and the possible fallout increasing, Madden passes the mission up the ‘kill chain’ to politicians and lawyers, including the British Foreign secretary (the role it’s believed Firth will take).

Guy Hibbert wrote the script with Ender’s Game’s Gavin Hood set to direct. Production is expected to begin in South Africa on 12th September 2014.

Will Ferrell & Zach Galifianakis Will Share Larry’s Kidney For Director Richard Linklater

May 17, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

zach-galifianakisWill Ferrell and Zach Galifianakis seemed to be have a good time making The Campaign, and now they’re planning to work together again as TheWrap reports they are reuniting for Larry’s Kidney, with Richard Linklater directing.

Based on Daniel Asa Rose’s memoir, Ferrell will play Rose (Will Ferrell), who travels to China with his slightly odd cousin (Galifianakis) and his mail-order bride, in the hope that they can get hold of a black market human kidney that will save his life.

It’s not clear when it will shoot, but it appears Hollywood is particularly interested in the story’s Chinese angle. China is the fastest growing movie market in the world, and while numerous blockbusters have tried to include some Chinese interest, it’s less common for a comedy. The studios will be interested to see whether it works.

Bradley Cooper Signs Up For Arms and the Dudes, Reuniting With Todd Phillips

May 17, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

bradley-cooperThey’ve made three Hangover movies together but that’s not enough for Bradley Cooper and Todd Phillips, as they’re getting back together for the comedy Arms and the Dudes, according to THR.

Indeed they like each other so much that this is the first project from a new Warner Bros-based production company they’ve recently set up together.

Phillips has been attached to the project since July 2011, but now Cooper has come on board to produce and may also star (although that’s not certain at the moment). The film is based on Guy Lawson’s Rolling Stone article, which chronicles the true story of 20-something stoners David Packouz and Efraim Diveroli, who managed to win a $300 million contract from the Pentagon to arm America’s allies in Afghanistan.

The two made 85 deliveries of munitions to Afghanistan worth more than $66 million before their arms-dealing careers were cut short when federal agents raided their Miami Beach offices in Aug. 2007, culminating in 71 counts of fraud, due to the poor quality arms they delivered.

In 2009 the duo plead guilty to one count of conspiracy and in January Diveroli was sentenced to four years in prison. You can read the article here.

Jonah Hill has apparently been involved in table reads for the project, but it isn’t known if he will star. Todd Phillips is currently finishing off the screenplay, with the hope of shooting the movie later this year.

May 15, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

The Riot Club (previously) known as POSH, certainly has an attractive cast of young guys, but that doesn’t mean the movie will be any good. However now we have a taste with a trailer and poster.
