Amy Adams May Tell The Story of Your Life For An Alien Thriller

April 3, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

amy-adamsPerhaps Man Of Steel gave Amy Adams  a taste for thing verging on sci-fi, as the American Hustle actress is in talks to star in Denis Villeneuve’s thriller Story of Your Life, according to Deadline.

The movie is based on Ted Chiang’s short story about a linguist (Adams) who is recruited by the government after alien spacecraft start to appear all over the world. She must try to determine whether these extraterrestrials come in peace, or whether they have more evil intentions.

However, as she begins to communicate with them, the linguist experiences flashbacks that help unlock the mystery of why they are really here. (It’s a plot that will sound oddly familiar to anyone who’s seen the film, The Arrival Of Wang).

Eric Heisserer (The Thing, Final Destination 5) wrote the script. It’s not clear when it will shoot.

Ford, Stallone, Schwazenegger, Statham & Jet Li Amongst 16 New Expendables 3 Characters Posters

April 2, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Expendables-3-character-Poster1The Expendables 3 is coming and to prove that despite losing Bruce Willis this new instalment will still be absolutely chock full of action talent, 16 characters posters from the movie have landed.

They feature returnees Sylvester Stallone, Terry Crews, Jet Li, Jason Statham, Dolph Lundgren, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Randy Couture, young bloods Kellen Lutz, Ronda Roussey, Victor Ortiz, and Glen Powell, and a few added legends such as Harrison Ford, Kelsey Grammer, Wesley Snipes, Antonio Banderas and Mel Gibson.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘In The Expendables 3, Barney (Sylvester Stallone), Christmas (Jason Statham) and the rest of the team come face-to-face with Conrad Stonebanks (Mel Gibson), who years ago co-founded The Expendables with Barney. Stonebanks subsequently became a ruthless arms trader and someone who Barney was forced to kill… or so he thought. Stonebanks, who eluded death once before, now is making it his mission to end The Expendables – but Barney has other plans. Barney decides that he has to fight old blood with new blood, and brings in a new era of Expendables team members, recruiting individuals who are younger, faster and more tech-savvy. The latest mission becomes a clash of classic old-school style versus high-tech expertise in the Expendables’ most personal battle yet.’

It’ll be in cinemas this summer. Click below to see the other posters.

April 2, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Now Variety reports that it’s Prince Of Persia and Wrath of the Titans’ Kebbell has bagged the role. He will join Michael B. Jordan as Johnny Storm/The Human Torch, Miles Teller as Reed Richards/Mr. Fantastic, Kate Mara as Sue Storm/The Invisible Woman and Jamie Bell as Ben Grimm/The Thing.

The Wicked Movie Is Still Moving Forward!

April 2, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

wicked-musical-slideSeveral years ago now in the wake of the success of Mamma Mia, Universal put a movie version of the hit musical Wicked into development. However Disney moving forward on Oz The Great And Powerful seemed to take the wind out of the project’s sails.

It’s not completely dead though, as the show’s composer Stephen Schwartz has told Vulture that, “We’re starting to do some work on it. We’ve actually started gearing up on it a little bit. I don’t know exactly how many years away it is.”

When asks if there will be alterations for the big screen, he adds, “What are we going to change? What are we going to keep? How do you use a whole new language and medium to tell the story? [We can] really look at it again and say, ‘Oh, we can do this, and we’ve always wanted to do that and we couldn’t onstage, but we can in a movie.’ We’re actually having a blast.”

In the early days of development, the likes of J.J. Abrams, James Mangold, Rob Marshall and Glee creator Ryan Murphy were all said to be in contention to direct, but it’s not known if anyone is at the helm at the moment.

Let’s hope it doesn’t take them too much longer as we’d love to see Ephalba defying gravity in the cinema.

James Franco May Play Man Who Went From LGBT Rights Fighter To Ex-Gay Activist

April 1, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

james-franco-600pxJames Franco is turning his back on the gays! Well, no, he isn’t, but he may be playing a character who does. The NY Post reports that Franco is teaming with director Gus Van Sant to make a movie about the controversial Michael Glatze.

Glatze started out as a young gay man who was passionate about helping LGBT youth, including marching in gay rights rallies and urging young people to celebrate their non-traditional sexualities. He also launched the magazine Young Gay America after working at XY, becoming a leading voice in the gay rights fight.

However in 2004 he had a health scare involving a possible heart defect, which caused him to turn to conservative Christianity. Shortly afterwards he completely renounced everything he had previously stood for and said that he was now ‘ex-gay’.

In 2007 he wrote in a WorldNetDaily article that, “Homosexuality, delivered to young minds, is by its very nature pornographic.” Shortly afterwards he revealed that he was “repulsed to think about homosexuality” and that he was “going to do what I can to fight it.”

He has been rather changeable though (as if he’s still searching for something), briefly becoming a Mormon as well as occasionally seeming to slightly soften his stance by talking about bisexuality and fluid sexuality. He’s currently married to a woman and perhaps most surprisingly of all, despite this entire journey he’s still only 38.

The movie will be made on a budget of $3.5 million, with the hope of shooting in New York in July. It’ll be interesting to see which way Van Sant takes it, as while gay himself he is known for having a bit of a counterculture penchant, leaving some to wonder if he will use Glatze’s story to pick apart gay assimilation. More like though it will be more the tale of a man’s tragic fall. Either way, as Glatze hasn’t (yet) decided gays are ok after all, it’s unlikely to have a happy ending.

The Drop Trailer – Tom Hardy & James Gandolfini star in the Dennis Lehane scripted movie

April 1, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment


Previously known as Animal Rescue (but understandably retitled as this is more crime thriller than a movie about saving cute critters), The Drop is also the final screen role for James Gandolfini, who stars alongside the always excellent Tom Hardy and Noomi Rapace.

After the first pictures arrived a few days ago comes the trailer, which you watch right here.

The movie is based on Dennis Lehane;s short story about a Boston bartender (Hardy) who desperately attempting to free himself from his past criminal life. After he rescues a pit bull from a garbage can, He gets caught up in a heist gone wrong and a murder revolving around Mafia-controlled bar where he works.

Lehane also wrote the screenplay, with Michaël R. Roskam. A September US release is set. [Read more…]

Brad Pitt In Talks For World War II Romantic Thriller

April 1, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Brad-PittBrad Pitt sure seems to like World War II. Following Inglourious Basterds he’s just finished shooting Fury, and now he may be heading back to the 1940s, as Deadline reports he is circling an untitled WRII romantic thriller.

Steven Knight (Eastern Promises) wrote the script, although there’s absolutely no details on the plot at the moment.

At the moment the film is hoping to shoot in the early part of 2015.

Sex Tape Red Band Trailer – Cameron Diaz & Jason Segel don’t want their naughtiness escaping

April 1, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment


Later this year we’re all going to get to see Cameron Diaz and Jason Segel’s Sex Tape, but first we can get a taster with the first trailer.

Here’s the movie’s synopsis (and as you’ve already guessed, it’s not just a real sex tape featuring the two stars): ‘When Jay (Jason Segel) and Annie (Cameron Diaz) first got together, their romantic connection was intense – but ten years and two kids later, the flame of their love needs a spark. To kick things up a notch, they decide – why not? – to make a video of themselves trying out every position in The Joy of Sex in one marathon three-hour session.

‘It seems like a great idea – until they discover that their most private video is no longer private. With their reputations on the line, they know they’re just one click away from being laid bare to the world… but as their race to reclaim their video leads to a night they’ll never forget, they’ll find that their video will expose even more than they bargained for.’

Sex Tape is going to be in cinemas September 5th. [Read more…]

Ben Stiller In Talks To Play Gay Choreographer In Alan Ball’s I Am Chippendales

April 1, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Ben-StillerSince the success of Magic Mike, the film world has known there’s a market out there for movies about male strippers. Now Ben Stiller may be starring in one, as Variety reports that he is circling I Am Chippendales, with American Beauty and True Blood’s Alan Ball set to write and direct.

The movie is based on the true story of how Paul Snider, Somen “Steve” Banerjee and lawyer Bruce Nahin founded the Chippendales nightclub. However after initial massive success, things rather went to Banerjee’s head as he helped orchestrate a plot to murder of three former Chippendales dancers he thought were now in competition with him, as well as attempting to have Chippendales co-founder, Bruce Nahin, killed.

He pleaded guilty to attempted arson, racketeering and murder for hire charges.

If a deal is finalized, Ben Stiller will play choreographer Nick DeNoia, who helped conceive the idea of the Chippendales, helping turn the male dance club into an international sensation. However DeNoia ended up being one of the people Banerjee wanted dead.

Banerjee was known for being incredibly flamboyant and sharp, not putting up with any dancer who didn’t meet his exacting dimensions. It’s also believed he slept with more than a few, although due to the fact this was the 80s and the Chippendales were so determined they were for female rather than gay eyes, there was also a lot of homophobia around. It’s now known exactly how the film will deal with all this, but as Alan Ball is gay himself and has dealy with LGBT themes throughout his career, it probably won’t shy away from it.

Ball is directing from his own screenplay, which is adapted from Rodney Sheldon’s book. It’s not known when it will shoot.
