New Walk Of Shame Red Band Trailer – Elizabeth Banks has a bad morning after sleeping with James Marsden

April 16, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment


Elizabeth Banks is always a lot of fun and James Marsden is usually pretty good value for money too. The both got to play the partners of the leads on 30 Rock, but as one was with Alec Baldwin and the other Tina Fey, they didn’t get many scenes together.

However that’s gonna change with Walk Of Shame, which now has a new red band trailer.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘After losing an audition for her dream job, an aspiring Los Angeles TV news anchor goes out for an uncharacteristic night of partying. She awakes in a stranger’s bed to a phone message from her agent telling her the job is hers, if she can make it across town by 5 pm. Stranded in an unknown area without money, a phone, and a car, she embarks on a series of misadventures as she races to the most important job interview of her life.’

A May US release is set. [Read more…]

Third Person Trailer – Fresh look at James Franco, Mila Kunis, Olivia Wilde & Liam Neeson in Paul Haggis’ star-studded tale

April 16, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment


Paul Haggis won an Oscar for his multi-stranded tale Crash (although many people think he shouldn’t have). Now he’s back in ensemble movie mode for Third Person, which tells three stories set in Rome, Paris, and New York, set at different times in couples’ relationships.

The star-studded cast includes James Franco, Mila Kunis, Olivia Wilde, Liam Neeson, Kim Basinger, Adrien Brody, Maria Bello and Moran Atias.

Neeson plays a man who leaves his wife to go live with the much younger Olivia Wilde, Franco and Kunis are a former couple who can’t stop warring over custody of their son, while Adrien Brody is involved with a woman whose child has ended up in the hands of people traffickers.

It’s certainly sounds like there’s plenty of drama (and Crash haters will probably already be cringing). The movie hits the US in June, but it’s not clear when it will come to the UK. [Read more…]

April 16, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment


Tommy Lee Jones’ has shown himself to be a decent director with the TV movies The Good Old Boys and The Sunset Limited, as well as the movie The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada.

The period drama is about on a claim-jumper (Tommy Lee Jones) and a pioneer woman (Swank) in the 19th Century, who both escort three insane women on a bizarre journey from Nebraska to Iowa, where they must brave the harsh elements and lawless wastes along the way.

Chloe Moretz Will Ride The 5th Wave In A Young Adult Alien Invasion Movie

April 16, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

chloe-moretzChloe Moretz has had a lot of success, but it’s almost surprising that in this era of young adult adaptations she hasn’t taken the lead in a movie that could turn into a Twilight/Hunger Games franchise. That’s changing though as Sony has closed a deal for her to star in an adaptation of Rick Yancey’s bestselling novel The 5th Wave.

J Blakeson will direct the film from a screenplay by Susannah Grant. The movie is described as being ‘an original approach to an alien invasion movie’, which takes place after four waves of increasingly deadly attacks have left most of Earth decimated.

Against a backdrop of fear and distrust, 16-year-old Cassie (Moretz) goes on the run, desperately trying to save her younger brother. As she prepares for the inevitable and lethal 5th wave, Cassie meets a young man who may become her final hope.

The novel spent 20 weeks on The New York Times Best Sellers list and was honoured with the 2014 Red House Children’s Book Award in the UK. Sony hopes this can translate to the screen as it certainly has franchise potential, as the second book in the planned trilogy, The Infinite Sea, will be published on September 16th, 2014.

Magic Mike XXL Is Coming Independence Day 2015, & Channing Tatum Talks Up The Film

A couple of weeks ago an autumn shoot was announced for Magic Mike 2 –  which is now known as Magic Mike XXL – with Gregory Jacobs directing. However at the time it wasn’t clear when we’d actually get to see the movie.

Now a July 3rd, 2015 US release date has been announced, according to ERCBoxOffice. That will pit the movie against Terminator: Genesis, which opens on July 1st, 2015. However as they’re very different film, they probably won’t cannibalise each other’s box office too much.

Channing Tatum is currently co-writing the script with his Magic Mike collaborator Reid Carolin. He also recently spoke to MTV, where he told them, “[We started writing] probably like two months ago. With my partner Reid I was like, ‘Ah it’ll write itself, it’s fine’ – not the case. Not the case at all.”

He adds of the cast, “I think everyone’s gonna be back, I think. Obviously no one’s deals are done which is always kind of scary.” Therefore assuming everything works back Matthew McConaughey, Joe Manganiello, Alex Pettyfer and Matthew Bomer will all return.

As for the plot, he says, “This one will be a road trip movie. Without giving a lot away, we don’t wanna make it a really serious, slice-of-life movie. We want to have reality in it, but we don’t want to make it some dark drama. There was some darkness in the last one that I think surprised people and shocked people. This one, we want there to be a lot of conflict and a lot of struggle, but we also want there to be a shit-ton of fun. A shit-ton of just ridiculous stuff that you would never see in a movie.”

Magic Mike became a surprise hit in 2012, earning $167 million worldwide from just a $7 million production budget.

Leonardo DiCaprio Takes On The Revenant As His Next Film

April 16, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

leo-dicaprio

Leonardo DiCaprio has a tendency to put a lot of movies into development through his production company, which he’s interested in starring in. But when it comes time to actually pick his next project, rather than going for one of the 20 he’s personally been developing, he chooses something completely different.

That’s true of The Revenant, which he was briefly circling a few years ago before leaving, but has now come back to and chosen as his next movie, according to Deadline.

Alejandro González Iñárritu is set to direct the movie from a script by Iñárritu and Mark L. Smith, which is in turn based on Michael Punke’s novel, The Revenant: A Novel of Revenge. DiCaprio will play Hugh Glass, a 19th century fur trapper who is mauled by a grizzly bear, left for dead and then robbed. When he survives against all odds, he sets out on a treacherous journey to exact revenge on his betrayers.

The movie is scheduled to start production in September with an autumn 2015 release already being eyed.

Will Ferrell & John C. Reilly May Become Border Guards

April 16, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Will-FerrellWill Ferrell and John C. Reilly have had a successful partnership with the likes of Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby and Step Brothers. However it’s been a few years since they properly co-starred together (beyond Reilly’s uncredited cameo in Anchorman 2).

However now they’re planning to reunite for the comedy Border Guards, according to Deadline. It should also bring them back together with Talladega and Step brothers director Adam McKay.

Jesse Armstrong (In the Loop, Four Lions) came up with the script, which is about two friends (Ferrell and Reilly) who decide to become border patrol guards to add some purpose to their lives. Things get turned around when they accidentally get stranded in Mexico without identification and must try to sneak back into America.

It’s not clear yet when the movie might go into production.

The Great Gay-Themed Web Series EastSiders Launches Kickstarter Campaign To Fund Season 2

April 15, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Van Hansis Kit Williamson Eastsiders S2The web series Eastsiders found huge amounts of success, starting off on Youtube before getting picked up by Logo TV in the US. It also scored wins at both the Indie Series Awards and LA Web Fest. Now it’s planning Season 2 and it’s launched a Kickstarter to get the show funded.

Eastsiders stars Van Hansis (3 Daytime Emmy Nominee for As the World Turns) and Kit Williamson (Mad Men) as a gay couple trying to stay together in the aftermath of infidelity. Season 1 left things up in the air, so there’ll be a lot of people who’ll be keen to see what happens next.

Satya Bhabha (New Girl), Adam Bucci (10 Year Plan), Vera Miao (Best Friends Forever) and Willam Belli (Rupaul’s Drag Race) have signed on to join the cast, while Season 1 series regulars and guest stars Sean Maher (Firefly), Traci Lords (Crybaby), Stephen Guarino (Happy Endings), Brea Grant (Heroes), John Halbach (Wallflowers), Constance Wu (Browsers) and Matthew McKelligon (Int. Leather Bar) are slated to reprise their roles.

Series creator Kit Williamson says, “I’m so excited to take the show back where it started: in the fans’ hands, on Kickstarter. This is a very unique moment in time where audiences have the power to say what kind of stories they want to see told. We’ve been so lucky to have found an amazing community of viewers that have been with us from day one, and continues to grow every day. I hope they want to see more from us, because I am so excited to continue telling this story.”

There was a little controversy after the Season 1 Kickstarter, which successfully raised funds from people around the world who wanted to follow the story beyond the excellent pilot. However while the first episodes were initially released for free on Youtube, when the deal was signed with the US TV network Logo, only those in North America could watch the rest of the first season as it was released. An international deal was later signed with Wolfe Video to ensure those outside the US could see what happened (which was actually all collected together into a movie). It’s a lesson those behind the show learned and hopefully won’t be a similar issue with Season 2.

If you want to help out with Eastsiders – Season 2, head over to Kickstarter.

Hiccup Is Looking Heroic In A New How To Train Your Dragon 2 Poster

April 15, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

how-to-train-your-dragon-2-poster3A few days ago we got a new trailer for How To Train Your Dragon 2 and now comes the film’s main poster. Hiccup is certainly looking heroic, and more grown up than the rather uncertain young lad in the first film.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Set for release in June 2014, The thrilling second chapter of the epic HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON trilogy brings us back to the fantastical world of Hiccup and Toothless five years after the two have successfully united dragons and vikings on the island of Berk. While Astrid, Snoutlout and the rest of the gang are challenging each other to dragon races (the island’s new favorite contact sport), the now inseparable pair journey through the skies, charting unmapped territories and exploring new worlds.

‘When one of their adventures leads to the discovery of a secret ice cave that is home to hundreds of new wild dragons and the mysterious Dragon Rider, the two friends find themselves at the center of a battle to protect the peace. Now, Hiccup and Toothless must unite to stand up for what they believe while recognizing that only together do they have the power to change the future of both men and dragons.’

The film hits US cinemas June 13th and will be out in the UK July 4th.
