Harrison Ford Joins Blake Lively In The Age of Adaline

January 15, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

harrison-fordAge Of Adaline has been in the works for years, with the likes of Katherine Heigl coming and going from the movie, and at one point it seemed that movie had been dumped altogether. However more recently Blake Lively and Ellen Burstyn have signed on to star, and now Variety reports that Harrison Ford has joined them.

The story is about a 29-year-old woman who stops aging after recovering from an accident that nearly killed her. She embarks on a worldwide journey that covers most of the 20th Century, keeping her secret intact until she meets the man of her dreams. It’s not clear who Harrison Ford Will play.

J. Mills Goodloe and Salvador Paskowitz wrote the original screenplay, with revisions by Allison Burnett, with Lee Toland Krieger directing. The film will start shooting in March.

Thomas Kretschmann Getting Villainous For Avengers: Age of Ultron

January 15, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

thomas-kretschmannThere’s been plenty of casting news coming out of the often tight-lipped Marvel in the last few days. Michael Bay and Michael Pena have joined Ant-man, and now it’s been revealed that Thomas Kretschmann (TV’s Dracula) has taken a role in Avengers: Age Of Ultron, according to THR.

It’s been rumoured for a couple of months that the villainous Baron Wolfgang von Strucker would be in the movie, and it’s now been confirmed that is who Kretschmann will play. Von Strucker is a former Nazi officer who later became the head of the terrorist organisation H.Y.D.R.A, becoming the sworn enemy of both Captain America and Nick Fury. In the comics he is ageless and has the ability to die over and over again, but always return.

It’s not known how he will fit into the movie, but it’s believe brother and sister duo Quicksilver (Aaron Taylor-Johnson) and Scarlet Witch (Elizabeth Olsen) work for him. He’s likely to be somehow linked to the sentient artificial being known as Ultron. There’s also a chance he’ll become part of a plot that will have ramifications of the Marvel phase three films.

The movie is due out May 2015.

Sam Worthington & Zoe Saldana Both Back For Three Avatar Sequels

January 15, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

avatar-posterWhile Sam Worthington and Zoe Saldana signed up for more than one Avatar movie when they first agreed to appear in the record-grossing movie, it’s believed the time it’s taken to get a follow-up ready has resulted in their deals lapsing and they weren’t contracted for the three more films that James Cameron now has planned anyway.

That said, it’s still not too surprising that Worthington and Saldana have finalised deals to appear in all three Avatar sequels, which will be shot back-to-back with Avatar 2 arriving in December of 2016, followed by Avatar 3 in 2017 and Avatar 4 in 2018.

The only actor we’ve officially known would be back before is Stephen Lang, who played the villain Marine Colonel Quaritch. As his character died at the end of the first movie, its not known how he’ll be resurrected.

Rick Jaffa and Amanda Silver are penning the third installment, while Shane Salerno is tackling the fourth film, all working from the overall story arc that James Cameron came up with. While it’s known the films will return to Pandora, no story details have officially been revealed. However it’s been said the film will explore far more of Pandora and it’s believed Jake Sully and Neytiri will have had kids.

James Cameron commented,”Jake Sully is a rare combination of passion, strength, street smarts and soul, which requires a lot from an actor. Sam brought to the role a combination of sensitivity, vulnerability and strength. Zoe captured every aspect of the character I envisioned, bringing to Neytiri a mix of delicacy, fierceness and incredible physicality. I am beyond pleased they’ll be returning with us to Pandora.” (Source: THR)

Scott Cooper May Direct Black Mass, With Johnny Depp Circling Once More

January 15, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Johnny-DeppFor quite a while Johnny Depp was attached to a biopic of Whitey Bulger, but it all seemed to fall through last year and he left the film behind. Now Deadline reports he’s once more in the mix for the lead role in Black Mass and Out Of The Furnace’s Scott Cooper is likely to direct.

The movie will be based on Black Mass: The True Story of an Unholy Alliance Between the FBI and the Irish Mob, written by former Boston Globe reporters Dick Lehr and Gerald O’Neill. However events have slightly overtaken the 2001 book, with writer Mark Mallouk’s screenplay taking into account that Bulger – who had been on the FBI’s Ten Most Wanted list for more than a decade – was captured in June 2011.

Joel Edgerton was previously set to play FBI agent John Connolly, a childhood friend of Bulger who brought down the Italian mob in South Boston. It’s not known if he’s still likely to be involved.

Land of Storms Trailer – Sexual awakenings and a gay love triangle in Hungary

January 14, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment


From the first few seconds of this trailer, you’d think everyone in Land Of Storms spends their time hitting and slapping one another. However the rest of the promo reveals a less violent and potentially more interesting LGBT-themed movie.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Land of Storms is about the sexual awakening of Szabolcs, a young man who plays on a German soccer team, as does his roommate, Bernard. After an ugly argument, Szabolcs returns to Hungary where he meets Áron and a mutual attraction between the two boys develops. But when Bernard also shows up, a turbulent love triangle develops.’

TLA Releasing should be bringing out the film later this year. [Read more…]

January 14, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Many actors have stepped forward to support equal marriage, and now Michael Fassbender has confirmed his support for allowing gay people to get wed. Talking to GayStarNews during an awards chat, he said of gay marriage, ‘I totally favor it… People are happy and want to get married, why not? I don’t understand where the resistance would be to be honest. It seems bizarre to me – ludicrous.’

He adds that the battle over same sex marriage, ‘I’ve always thought it was a bit crazy that it wasn’t allowed. It’s so weird, bizarre.’

The actor was also asked about whether he would be happy to play a gay character, to which he commented, ‘If the right story comes, if it’s a good story, I always do it. It doesn’t really matter if the character is gay.’

Michael Pena In Talks For Edgar Wright’s Ant-Man

January 14, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Michael-PenaJust a day after it was announced that Michael Douglas had joined the cast of Ant-Man, another actor is in the mix, as THR reports that Michael Pena is in early talks for the Edgar Wright film.

It’s not known what role American Hustle and End Of Watch’s Pena is up for, but he’ll join Douglas and Paul Rudd in the movie. Douglas is Hank Pym, the inventor of the Ant-Man tech which can shrink him to insect time, while Rudd will be Scott Lang, who becomes the hero after getting hold of Pym’s technology.

The only thing known about Pena’s role is that Marvel was looking for a “tough Latino” who has to be ready for a lot of physical play. The likes of Javier Bardem and Clifton Collins Jr. were also considered.

Girls’ Adam Driver Joins Andrew Garfield In Martin Scorsese’s Silence

January 14, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

adam-driverAfter the release of each Scorsese movie for the last few years, it’s been said he would make Silence next. The fact he constantly kept putting off making the movie even led to a court case where some of the producers claimed it was taking too long and Scorsese’s hold on the material was preventing them from actually getting the film made.

However now it seems it’s really going to happen (although it has slightly been delayed from when it was going to shoot last summer). Way back in May 2013 Andrew Garfield signed up to star, and now he has some company, as Showbiz411 reports that Girls actor Adam Driver has joined the movie.

Set in the 17th Century, Silence follows Father Rodrigues (Garfield), a Portuguese Jesuit priest who travels to Japan to confront his mentor, after rumours surface that he has abandoned the church. Ken Watanabe will portray Father Rodrigues’ Japanese interpreter. It’s believed Driver will play another Jesuit priest.

Martin Scorsese co-wrote the screenplay alongside Jay Cocks (Gangs of New York), with shooting planned for this summer.

Nick Nolte Is A Late Addition To Darren Aronofsky’s Noah

January 14, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

nick-nolteYou’d think that with only two and a half months until the release, it would be a little late for Darren Aronofsky to be adding new actors to Noah. However he’s tweeted, ‘just added the legend nick nolte as the watcher samyaza in #noah . long live the nephilim! it was an honor.’

The reason he can come in so late is that Samyaza will be a largely CGI creation, so Nolte will presumably be providing the voice.

The ‘nephilim’ are mentioned in The Bible in Genesis 6:4 where they are described as “sons of God” and “daughters of men.” This has led some to say that they were the offspring of angels/demons and people, although Aronofky’s film takes the other interpretation of them, with Samyaza the leader of the Grigori, a.k.a. Watchers, angels who fell from grace after they were consumed by lust for mortal women.

The film will apparently also follow the legend that the nephilim are giants, and it’s believed Samyaza will have six arms. The nephilim/grigori are an interesting part of Jewish/Christian mysticism that has a long, rich history, but is rarely mentioned today. Mark Margolis was previously linked to the role, although it may be he did the motion capture while Nolte will be the voice. The film is out in March.

Magic: The Gathering Film Planned With X-Men Writer Simon Kinberg Producing

January 14, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

With the Hobbit cleaning up at the box office and Warcraft hoping to hit it big in 2015, Fox has decided it needs to get into the fantasy game with a movie based on a popular franchise – Magic: The Gathering. The studio has signed a deal to bring the popular card game to the big screen, according to THR.

magic-the-gatheringThey’ve also hired Simon Kinberg to produce the adaptation and oversee the development, although no screenwriter or director has been attached yet. Kinberg has written the likes of Sherlock Holmes and X-Men: Days Of Future Past, so he may take on the job himself, but at the moment he’s just down to produce.

Magic: The Gatherin debuted in 1993 and involves a number of different cards featuring wizards, creatures, weapons and spells that have various levels of strength, which players use to defeat one another. The cards themselves, some of which are rarer than others, have become valuable commodities on the collectors’ market.

Hasbro purchased the franchise in 1999 and they going to keep a close eye on development of the movie, with the company’s Brian Goldner and Stephen Davis producing alongside Simon Kinberg. There’s no hint on when we might see the film.
