Pacific Rim Uprising Trailer – John Boyega is the latest to pilot a giant robot

October 8, 2017 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Synopsis: ‘The globe-spanning conflict between otherworldly monsters of mass destruction and the human-piloted super-machines built to vanquish them was only a prelude to the all-out assault on humanity in Pacific Rim Uprising.

‘John Boyega (Star Wars: The Force Awakens) stars as the rebellious Jake Pentecost, a once-promising Jaeger pilot whose legendary father gave his life to secure humanity’s victory against the monstrous “Kaiju.” Jake has since abandoned his training only to become caught up in a criminal underworld. But when an even more unstoppable threat is unleashed to tear through our cities and bring the world to its knees, he is given one last chance to live up to his father’s legacy by his estranged sister, Mako Mori (Rinko Kikuchi)—who is leading a brave new generation of pilots that have grown up in the shadow of war. As they seek justice for the fallen, their only hope is to unite together in a global uprising against the forces of extinction.

‘Jake is joined by gifted rival pilot Lambert (The Fate of the Furious’ Scott Eastwood) and 15-year-old Jaeger hacker Amara (newcomer Cailee Spaeny), as the heroes of the PPDC become the only family he has left. Rising up to become the most powerful defense force to ever walk the earth, they will set course for a spectacular all-new adventure on a towering scale.”

The film will hit cinemas March 2018. Take a look at the trailer below. [Read more…]

Gore Verbinski May Direct Channing Tatum In The X-Men Spinoff, Gambit

October 8, 2017 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Fox has long harboured ambitions to make an X-Men movies based around Gambit. Since 2014 Channing Tatum has been attached to the movie, which has moved through various directors and screenwriters, but still hasn’t gone in front of the cameras.

They’re now trying to push forward again, with Pirates Of The Caribbean director Gore Verbinski now in talks to helm the movie, according to THR. Previously the likes of Doug Liman and Rupert Wytt have been attached to direct the film, but it has been completely reworked since then.

Verbinski directed the first three Pirates movies, then followed that with the less successful The Lone Ranger. Most recently he went slightly smaller scale with the creepy A Cure For Wellness. Gambit currently has not release date set.

Kate Winslet Reteaming With James Cameron For Avatar Sequels

October 4, 2017 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

With shooting finally starting of James Cameron’s sequels to Avatar, a few new cast members are coming onboard to join the likes of Sam Worthington, Zoe Saldana and Signourney Weaver (or at least their motion-captured forms). Now Deadline reports that one of the newcomers will be Kate Winslet, who’ll reteam with Cameron for the first time since Titanic.

The director says, “Kate and I have been looking for something to do together for 20 years, since our collaboration on Titanic, which was one of the most rewarding of my career. I can’t wait to see her bring the character of Ronal to life.”

What Cameron doesn’t reveal though is who Ronal is and how she fits into the movie. There have been few story details released, although it’s known he’s planning four sequels to be released between 2020 and 2025. The stories will introduce us to Jake Sully and Neytiri’s children, as well as other tribes of Na’vi such as the Metkayina, who live on oceanic atoll reefs.

First Look At Ben Whishaw & Hugh Grant Getting Involved In A Gay Scandal

October 3, 2017 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Although largely forgotten today, the saga of Jeremy Thorpe and Norman Scott was the biggest British political scandal of the 1970s – indeed some dubbed it the case of the century. It had everything the tabloids loved to feast on – a major party leader, the hint of homosexuality, a court case involving incitement to murder and even a dead dog! John Preston’s 2016 novel about the case, A Very English Scandal, is currently being made into a limited TV series, and the first picture from the show has now been released.

Ben Whishaw is playing Norman Scott, while Hugh Grant takes his first TV role in 20 years as Jeremy Thorpe. The show itself will recount the rather complicated affair, which involved a secret relationship between Thorpe and the younger Norman Scott. Thorpe’s political star rose as the leader of the Liberal Party throught the 1970s, to the point where the party picked up almost 20% of the vote in the February 1974 election. It was the biggest success for a third party in decades and threatened to break down the two-party system (Conservative and Labour) that had been in place for decades.

However, as Norman began to feel increasingly as if he’d been mistreated by the politician, things began to get complicated, especially when rumours about the affair between the two started to circulate. Thorpe and those around him knew that if stories about the politician and Scott hit the mainstream press, it would probably be the end of the married Thorpe’s career, as well as ruining the best chance the Liberal Party had to became a major political force again. This led to beatings and an attempt on Scott’s life, which resulted in his dog being shot. Thorpe later went on trial accused of being involved in the conspiracy to murder his former lover. He denied that he knew anything about the ‘hit’, as well as denying he’d ever been in a phsical relationship with Scott.

You can read more about it over at Wikipedia.

Queer As Folk’s Russell T. Davis is on scripting duties for A Very British Scandal, while Stephen Frears, who worked with Hugh Grant on Florence Foster Jenkins, will direct. Alex Jennings, Patricia Hodge, Monica Dolan, Adrian Scarborough, Jason Watkins, Eve Myles, Michele Dotrice and Blake Harrison will also star. The show will air on the BBC in the UK next year, while it’s likely to debut on Amazon Prime in many other territories.

New Paddington 2 Trailer – Ben Whishaw’s little bear is back and having a new adventure

October 3, 2017 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

When Paddington was first announced, many were sceptical that Michael Bond’s peruvian bear could make a successful transfer to the big screen. However, the resulting movie grossed almsot $270 million around the world and is now getting a sequel.

Here’s the synopsis for Paddington 2: ‘The much-anticipated sequel to the worldwide hit family film finds Paddington happily settled with the Brown family in Windsor Gardens, where he has become a popular member of the community, spreading joy and marmalade wherever he goes. While searching for the perfect present for his beloved Aunt Lucy’s hundredth birthday, Paddington spots a unique pop-up book in Mr. Gruber’s antique shop, and embarks upon a series of odd jobs to buy it. But when the book is stolen, it’s up to Paddington and the Browns to unmask the thief…’

The returning cast included Hugh Bonneville, Sally Hawkins, Julie Walters, Jim Broadbent, Peter Capaldi, Madeleine Harris and Samuel Joslin, with Ben Whishaw as the voice of Paddington and Imelda Staunton as Aunt Lucy. The are joined by new cast members such as Hugh Grant and Brendan Gleeson. Paddington 2 will be released in UK cinemas on 10 November 2017. [Read more…]

LGBT Film Projects Are Bidding To Be Crowdfunding ‘Hometown Heroes’ For The Duplass Brothers

September 30, 2017 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

As writers, directors and producers, Mark and Jay Duplass have become key players in US indie film, using their profile to help champion a wide variety of movies made outside the mainstream. They’re now backing a Seed&Spark crowdfunding rally, which has brought together 73 prospective movies to help them raise funds.

The 10 films that get the most followers by October 13th will qualify for the finals and get to pitch The Duplass Brothers. Up to five could then get a $25,000 cash boost to their production budget, and get Duplass Brothers as executive producers.

Those competing includes several LGBT-related titles. That includes Andrew Paul Davis’ Indiana, which at the time of writing was just inside the top 10 movies. One of the film’s three leading characters is a lesbian student attending a Christian college. Alexa (Emily Sweet) wants to get her music noticed, but struggles to find an audience for rap. Her story mixes with that of Chris (Todd Bruno), a hardened auto-mechanic, who hopes to inspire a resurgence of white supremacist rhetoric in his community, and Chuck (Joe Martyn Ricke) lives a prematurely retired life in a little room above a bar in Fairmount, Indiana.

There’s also Test, which follows a young bodybuilder living in the Appalachians, who defies his religious mother when he follows Ohio’s ‘best’ coach into a world of steroid abuse and exploitation. Brock Yurich’s film explores the correlation between sexual repression and drug addiction, with substance abuse more than twice as prevalent amongst young LGBT people compared to the general population.

DIY meanwhile, is ‘A comedy about the institution of marriage from a queer perspective. As Josh and Matilda get sucked into the Wedding Planning Vortex, they are determined to do it their own way. Class and gender norms collide in this brazen carnival of non-conforming characters.’

In the horror film Wretch, ‘Nat’s long suffered hallucinatory psychic fits. Booze dulls the visions. Recently returned home to KC, buoyed by best friend Aleah and new partner Adam he’s got 30 days sobriety, a good job, a tenuous peace. But one cancer diagnosis, relapse and cult indoctrination later, all hell breaks loose.’

The queer rom-com Like Wonderland, based on Erica Messenger’s play, follows ‘Alice on her journey through love, confusion, heartbreak, and growing up in this romantic comedy that challenges you to question expectations and forge your own path through “Wonderland.”‘

Hugh Jackman Stands Up To Support Same-Sex Marriage In Australia

September 30, 2017 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Things are getting heated in Australia as voting happens in the country’s same-sex marriage referendum. With the postal vote taking place over several weeks, it’s allowing passions to get heated on both sides, with the ‘no’ camp getting hysterical enough that they tried to stop Macklemore from singing ‘Same Love’ at a sporting event, as if that was going to be the deciding factor.

Aussie stars who’s stood up to speak out have nearly all been in the ‘yes’ camp, and perhaps not too surprisingly that now includes Hugh Jackman, who’s long been a supporter of gay rights. He took to Twitter to says that he and his wife Deborah-Lee Furness, ‘believe all Australians deserve to be treated equally under the law. That’s why Deb & I are voting YES #equality and #love!’

Jackman joins the likes of Kylie and Danni Minogue,and Chris and Liam Hemsworth, who’ve voiced their support for same sex marriage in Australia. Polls suggest a majority of Aussie support a change in the law, but even so it’s believed the vote may be close, partly as it’s believed those opposing same sex marriage are more likely to vote than those who either support or are ambivalent about it. The final result will be announced in November. [Read more…]
