Where All The Stories are LOVE Stories Gay Marriage Documentary Seek Funding

January 25, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment


Gay marriage is slowly gaining ground in the US, although there’s a long way to go until all States recognise same sex marriages. Now photographer and filmmaker D’Arcy Benincosa is hoping to make the first feature-length documentary about to story of equal marriage in America and has launched a Kickstarter with the hope of raising $50,000 to get it done.

She says of the film, Where All The Stories are LOVE Stories, “In years to come, the couples, the judges, all the people involved in this change will be our heroes. A documentary film based on the unfolding events of 2014 will connect us to these heroes and to our shared humanity…

“The trend in our culture has been to portray our LGBT neighbors as misfits, always on the outskirts of normal society, often so eccentric that we are unable to relate. Rarely do you see a movie featuring gay couples sharing a simple kiss, holding hands, or looking at each other with expressions of everyday love– these simple actions are the foundation of everyone’s love story. They make art art and love love– your love and my love. I want to make a documentary film about these everyday, extraordinary stories that make us all the same.”

You can find out more about the documentary on the Kickstarter page, where you can of course help out if you’d like to. [Read more…]

John Boyega Takes On Jesse Owens Biopic

January 25, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

John-BoyegaA major biopic of Jesse Owens is long overdue, but hopefully now one is coming with the news that Attack The Block star John Boyega has signed up to play the legendary athlete, according to Variety.

Owens is best known for competing in the 1936 Olympics, when he went to Nazi Germany in the full face of Hitler’s Aryan ideas. The Fuhrer hoped the games would be a showcase of white superiority (indeed for a while he tried to prevent any non white or Jewish people from competing, but gave in after various countries threatened a boycott).

The African-American Owens ended up winning the 100m, the 200m, the long jump, and the 400m relay, setting three world records in the process.

Boyega made a big splash with Attack The Block, and since then has appeared in the likes of Half of a Yellow Sun. Stephen Hopkins is set to direct the biopic, which will start shooting in May. It even plans to film inside the real 1936 Berlin Olympic stadium, which will hopefully add an extra touch of authenticity.

Jeff Bridges’ dream is finally coming true. He’s been trying to get an adaptation of The Giver off the ground for over around two decades, but it’s only now, with the popularity of other young adult movies, that it’s finally happened. EW has released the first couple of images from the film, featuring Bridges and Brenton Thwaites, which you can see above and below.

Lois Lowry’s original book is a philosophical fantasy set in another world where all emotions, history and freedom have been expunged. Thwaites plays Jonas, a young man who, when assigned a profession, is given the important yet painful job of being the society’s Receiver of Memories. The new position sees him cut off from everyone he knows and he is mentored by the former Receiver of Memories, known as The Giver (Bridges). As Jonas and The Giver work together, the young man’s eyes are opened to the lies that the society is built upon.

The great cast also includes Meryl Streep, Alexander Skarsgard, Katie Holme and Taylor Swift. It’s due out in August.

mike-newellFor several years there’s been talk of making a big screen Triffids movie, with the likes of Sam Raimi attached to direct. However we haven’t had much news for a while, but it seems the idea has been resurrected, as Deadline reports that Mike Newell (Harry Potter And The Goblet Of Fire) is hoping to direct.

Raimi is still involved as a producer, alongside Don Murphy, Mark Gordon and Susan Montford.

John Wyndhams original tale, The Day Of The Triffids, revolves around a meteor shower which results in 99.9% of the world population going blind. The meteors also release aggressive plants dubbed Triffids, who begin to attack the blind masses, with a few non-blind survivors trying to fend off the devastating attack.

Neil Cross (Luther) has written the screenplay, although it’s not certain when it might shoot.
