Robert Zemeckis To Direct The Porcelain Rabbit Focussed Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane

October 31, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

robert-zemeckisSince Robert Zemeckis came back to the world of live-action with Flight, most of the movies he’s been attached to have had a rather adult feel, however he’s now signed up to helm and adaptation of Kate DiCamillo’s 2006 children’s novel, The Remarkable Journey of Edward Tulane, according to Variety.

The book follows the adventure of a china rabbit in the 1930s. The porcelain bunny is owned by a 10-year-old girl who loses him during a voyage on the Queen Mary. After that he time, under water, is tossed about in a storm, gets discovered by a fisherman’s wife, then becomes the property of a hobo and his dog, and onto a sick girl.

Jeff Stockwell will write the script.

It sounds like a good fit for Zemeckis, as it should given him a chance to flex his visual muscles and use special effects, while telling a family friendly tale that needs a grown-up touch to make it a success on the screen.

Director Juan Carlos Fresnadillo Takes On Pet Sematary

October 31, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

pet-semataryFor quite a long time now there’s been talk of remaking Pet Sematary. However rather like the plot, the idea keeps dying and coming back to life. Now it’s been revived once more with the news that director Juan Carlos Fresnadillo (28 Weeks Later, Intruders) is in talks to direct, according to Variety.

The first reports that a remake was in the works came in 2004, when Mike Werb and Michael Colleary (Face/Off) were attached to write the script. The idea resurfaced again in 2011 with a script from Matt Greenberg. The latest version sees Greenberg co-writing with David Kajganich.

The 1989 film, based on Stephen King’s novel, follows a family who moves in next to a cemetery, which they discover has a creepy past and seems to have the power to raise things from the dead – although they don’t come back quite like they were before.

There’s no news on when they hope to shoot this new version.

Bill Murray, Octavia Spencer & Jennifer Coolidge Wants To Say B.O.O.

October 31, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Bill-MurrayOn Halloween DreamWorks Animation decided it was a good idea to reveal that Bill Murray will join  cast of B.O.O.: Bureau of Otherworldly Operations as villainous ghost, Addison Drake. Jennifer Coolidge, best known for her role as Stifler’s mom in American Pie, will play Carol Sue, a bubbly transitions-relations officer, the The Help’s Octavia Spencer will play the tough as nails Sr. B.O.O. officer, Captain Book, according to THR.

The trio join the previously announced Seth Rogen, Melissa McCarthy, Rashida Jones and Matthew Bomer.

Director Anthony Leondis commented on the new cast members, “Bill Murray is the perfect actor to bring this character to life – or should I say ‘after-life? Along with Jennifer and Octavia, this is a dream cast. I can’t imagine a team more capable of packing a funnier punch to this broadly comedic ghost story.”

The supernatural action comedy follows two bumbling ghosts who get into all sorts of trouble when they join the Bureau of Otherworldly Operations (B.O.O.) – the ghost world’s elite counter-haunting unit – and ultimately must face off against the planet’s greatest haunter.

The film is set to be released by Twentieth Century Fox on June 5, 2015.

Help Fund The New Gay-Themed Film From The Creators Of Is It Just Me?, eCupid and Steam Room Stories

October 30, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment


Cinema 175 has created some great gay-themed entertainment in the last few years, including the web series Steam Room Stories and the rom-coms Is It Just Me? and eCupid. Now writer/director J.C. Calciano and the rest of the team want to complete their trilogy of romantic comedies as they’re seeking funding on IndieGoGo to help them make 10 Year Plan.

The film is described as ‘a funny, smart, romantic comedy with universal appeal. It’s the story of Myles and Brody – two friends who make a pact to be together if neither finds love in ten years time. Now it’s two month’s shy of their deadline, and both friends set off to do whatever it takes to avoid ending up as each other’s last resort.’

The cast includes Jack Turner (Myles), Michael Hamilton (Brody), Moronai Kanekoa (Richard), Teri Reeves (Diane), Adam Bucci (Hunter), Ben Palacios (Walter), Trevor Kuhn (Raul) and the incredible Debra Wilson as the Minister! The hope is that if the crowdfunding campaign can raise $25,000, it will mean everyone will get at least some pay for the 12-day shoot, as well as having some cash to bring in some known faces.

Filming should take place in November in December, with the movie reaching film festival in 2014.

If you’ve enjoyed any of Cinema 175’s previous efforts (and if you haven’t you should check them out), then head over to IndieGoGo to give a little cash. [Read more…]

Richard Gere Wanted For Best Exotic Marigold Hotel 2, With Judi Dench & Maggie Smith Returning

October 30, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Richard-GereLast year The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel became a surprise hit, grossing $136 million around the world on a budget of just $10 million and showing that there’s a big audience out there for movies about older people.

Due to the film’s success a sequel is in the works, and now Deadline reports that Richard Gere is being sought to star in the movie, playing a new character.

Judi Dench, Bill Nighy, Penelope Wilton and Maggie Smith are all expected to return, although there aren’t any specific plot details as yet. The first film follows a group of aging Brits who head out to retire at the titular Best Exotic Marigold Hotel in India. However when they get there, they discover the luxurious life they were promised is actually a ramshackle old building, and India is different to what they expected.

The movie will shoot early next year.

Open Grave Trailer – Sharlto Copley wakes up in a pit of dead bodies

October 30, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment


I think it’s safe to say Sharlto Copley isn’t having a great time in Open Grave, but then, waking up in a pit full of dead people isn’t never going to be the start of a good day.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘A man (Sharlto Copley, DISTRICT 9, ELYSIUM) wakes up in a pit of dead bodies with no memory of who he is or how he got there. Fleeing the scene, he breaks into a nearby house and is met at gunpoint by a group of terrified strangers, all suffering from memory loss. Suspicion gives way to violence as the group starts to piece together clues about their identities, but when they uncover a threat that’s more vicious—and hungry—than each other, they are forced to figure out what brought them all together—before it’s too late.’

Gonzalo López-Gallego (Apollo 18) directs, with Copley starring alongside Thomas Kretschmann, Josie Ho, Joseph Morgan, Erin Richards and Max Wrottesley. [Read more…]

New The Wolf of Wall Street Trailer – Martin Scorsese takes Leo DiCaprio into a mad world of money

October 30, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment


Movies about people in the financial world don’t usually sound that much fun, and to be honest on paper that’s true of The Wolf Of Wall Street, but as this trailer shows, it could be incredibly entertaining in its insanity.

The based-on-a-true-story movie is about Jordan Belfort’s meteoric rise, where he made making millions selling phony stocks before he was arrested and sentenced to 22 months in prison for securities fraud. Matthew McConaughey, Jonah Hill, Kyle Chandler, Jean Dujardin, Margot Robbie, Jon Bernthal, Rob Reiner, and Jon Favreau also star.

Martin Scorsese directs from a screenplay by Boardwalk Empire creator Terence Winter. Although it wasn’t certain whether the film would be ready for a prime Oscar-bait release at the end of the year, it now appears it will indeed by going for an awards push. [Read more…]

Nikolaj Coster-Waldau Is Getting A Second Chance

October 30, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Nikolaj-Coster-WaldauEver since he scored the role of Jaime Lannister, Nikolaj Coster-Waldau’s career has been on the rise, including roles in Mama, Oblivion and the upcoming God Of Egypt. Now he’s signed on Susanne Bier’s latest, A Second Chance, according to ScreenDaily.

The film’s backers, TrustNordisk, issued a statement about the movie, saying, ‘How far are decent human beings willing to go, when tragedy blurs the line between just and unjust? With A Second Chance, Susanne Bier and [screenwriter] Anders Thomas Jensen have crafted another startling yet moving drama, about how easily we lose our grasp on justice, when we face the unthinkable and life as we know it hangs by a thread.’

Unfortunately that’s all we know about the plot. Filming will begin in November on the Danish island of Funen.

Christopher McQuarrie To Direct Live-Action Star Blazers

October 30, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

christopher-mcquarrieMore than two years ago, Christopher McQuarrie was hired to write a live-action version of cult kids show Star Blazers. Now Deadline reveals that he’s stepped up to direct the film as well.

Originally called Space Battleship Yamato in its native Japan, Star Blazers was ported over to the States in the late 70s, redubbed and edited and became a bit of a hit. The series was set on a heavily polluted future Earth, with the human race facing extinction. Humanity is then offered plans on how to build super-fast spaceships, and told that if they can battle their way to the planet Iscandar, they’ll be given the secret to saving Earth.

Hollywood has been trying to adapt the show for a long time, but the likes of Disney have tried and failed. Hopefully this time it’s work out.

Daniel Radcliffe Will Go For Gold As Olympic Medallist Sebastian Coe

October 30, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Daniel Radcliffe

Daniel Radcliffe

Daniel Radcliffe is getting his running shoes on as he’s signed up for Gold, where he’ll play legendary British runner, Sebastian Coe. The movie will reunite him with The Woman In Black director, James Watkins.

The movie has been in development for quite a while, as originally the hope was to get it in cinemas to coincide with the London Olympics. They’ve missed that date by a wide mark, but things are now moving ahead with Radcliffe as Coe, in a film that will look at the athlete’s rivalry with felloe middle-distance runner Steve Ovett.

The rivalry was at time cordial and sometimes fierce, and saw them fighting it out for Olympic medals, such as at the 1980 Moscow games, when Ovett beat Coe in his favoured 800m event, while Coe beat Ovett is the latter’s preferred 1,500m. In 1981 they also traded world records for the fastest mile ever three times in 10 days, with Coe as one point holding the 800m, 1,500m and mile records, while Ovett later took over the 1,500m and mile records.

Simon Beaufoy (Slumdog Millionaire) and Will Davies (How to Train Your Dragon) wrote the script based on The Perfect Distance by Pat Butcher. Shooting it expected to start next April.
