Quentin Tarantino Is Writing Another Western, But It’s Not A Django Sequel

November 27, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Quentin-TarantinoQuentin Tarantino’s last few films have jumped through several genres, but it appears he wants to stick with westerns for the time being as the director rocked up to Jay Leno’s chat show and said he’s busy penning another movie set out west, according to THR.

Tarantino said, “I haven’t told anyone this publicly, but I will say the genre: It’s a western.”

He then categorically confirmed that it wouldn’t be a sequel to Django, adding, “I had so much fun doing Django, and I love westerns so much that after I taught myself how to make one, it’s like ‘OK! Let me make another one now that I know what I’m doing.’”

The director didn’t say anything else and there’s no guarantee this will be his next film, especially as he has a tendency to announce movies he wants to make, which either get delayed or are never heard from again. There’s also no news on when it might shoot.

November 27, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

judd-apatowKnocked Up and This Is 40 helmer Judd Apatow has decided on his next film as he has signed on to direct Train Wreck, which already has Amy Schumer attached to star, according to THR.

Schumer will play ‘a basket case who tries to rebuild her life, but still to be found are her boyfriend, a best friend/co-worker and a parent.’

She may not be particularly well known, but Apatow must have confidence in her, especially as this is the film movie he’ll direct that he didn’t also write. Judd is currently seeking actors to play the her boyfriend, best friend/co-worker and one of her parents. He has apparently met with actors in Los Angeles for these parts, while Amy Schumer and producer Barry Mendel are also holding casting sessions in New York.

Schumer is best known for her hit Comedy Central series Inside Amy Schumer. She has also appeared in films such as Sleepwalk with Me, Seeking a Friend for the End of the World and Price Check.

Gay-Themed Film He Is Gone Plans Summer 2014 New England Shoot

November 26, 2013 By Tim Isaac 1 Comment

missing-book-coverWe always like to hear from filmmakers who are planning new gay-themed movies, so it was great to get a message from Gregory G. Allen, co-producer and screenwriter of the upcoming movie He Is Gone. The movie, which is an adaptation of Drake Braxton’s book Missing, plans to shoot during Summer 2014 in New England.

And if you’d be interested in getting involved, there are various funding options for ‘those interested in films that champion the spirit of independence and more importantly, want to see more LGBT stories being told through the brilliance of film’.

Lois Munoz-Merka will direct, with ASD Media & Entertainment backing the movie. Munoz-Merka is a former resident of Boston and Providence and could not wait to return to that part of the US after reading a copy of the 2012 New England Book Festival – Best Gay Fiction prize-winning book and knowing it was to be her first feature film. With a varied background in music, film, and television, she knew the story of a gay couple from the Boston area that returns to the Deep South for a reunion and one ends up missing needed to be told in a truthful way.

“The story hits on so many topics that are true to both the gay community and the straight world,” the filmmaker comments. “As a straight woman, I was moved by the plight of this man because love is love. It is a powerful story that will translate beautifully into film.

He Is Gone is described as ‘a journey of self discovery when one is tested in the most extreme of circumstances. As momentum for marriage equality continues to build, the film illustrates the divide that is a constant reminder of how far we still need to go. It’s about friendship and love and what people will do for each other to aid in desperate times; and when that aid can become enabling of bad habits. It’s about the families we build and those we sometimes attempt to forget.’

“He Is Gone is a psychological drama that twists and turns like a winding staircase,” says Gregory G. Allen. “The main character is on a trek to reach the top as he unravels the mystery of the disappearance of his husband.”

New The Boxtrolls Trailer – Behind the scenes of Laika’s gay-friendly stop-motion movie

November 26, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Back in July the first teaser for The Boxtrolls got a lot of interest for showing its gay-friendly colours by showing off families of all types. Now we can take a fresh look at the movie, including behind the scenes of the stop-motion flick.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘The new 3D animated feature from Laika Studios tells the tale of the Boxtrolls, monsters who live underneath the charming streets of Cheesebridge, who crawl out of the sewers at night to steal what the townspeople hold most dear: their children and their cheeses. At least, that’s the legend the townspeople have always believed. In truth, the Boxtrolls are a community of lovable oddballs who are raising as one of their own an abandoned and orphaned human boy named Eggs. When the Boxtrolls are targeted by a villainous exterminator who is bent on eradicating them, Eggs must venture aboveground to save them, where he teams with an adventurous young girl to save not only the Boxtrolls but the soul of Cheesebridge.’

It’s a while until we can see the finished film, as it’s not set for release until September 2014. [Read more…]

November 26, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

john-krokidas-slide
After the indie success off Kill Your Darlings, director John Krokidas is planning his next move as he has signed on to direct Fox Searchlight’s Standard Happiness Package, according to Deadline.

The indie sci-fi is based on a short story by Charles Yu and follows a college graduate who takes an entry-level position at a tech company. His rather unusual job is that he has to experience painful events from other people’s lives. He falls desperate in love with his boss and tries to build a relationship, but this proves incredible difficult in a world that is slowly becoming entirely virtual and where he ends up becoming a human pain cushion.

The story was originally published as part of Yu’s ‘Sorry Please Thank You’ collection. The gay Krokidas will helm from a script by Keith Bunin. It’s not clear when it will shoot.

Was X-Men’s Magneto Involved In JFK’s Assassination? He May Be In Days Of Future Past

November 26, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

x-men-days-of-future-past-poster2It’s a tiny bit more than 50 years since President John F. Kennedy’s assassination by Lee Harvey Oswald in Dallas, Texas. Ever since then conspiracy theories have swirled over whether there was a second shooter on a grassy knoll.

Anyone who’s seen JFK will also remember the so-called ‘magic bullet’ which the official reports says ricocheted to cause several injuries, but which some think couldn’t possible have moved that way on it own. Now it seems X-Men: Days of Future Past wants to agree with that, suggesting Magneto may have been involved.

20th Century Fox has launched a new viral website called TheBentBullet.com, which ties the sequel to the assassination by suggesting that Erik Lensherr, aka Magneto (Michael Fassbender), was the man on that “grassy knoll,” and manipulated the metal the bullet with his powers.

Take a look below for a video exploring the idea.
