By 1 Comment


Sean Paul Lockhart is known to many gay men as porn star Brent Corrigan, but in the last few years he’s been turning legit, both as an actors in the likes of Milk (yes, he was in it very briefly), The Big Gay Musical and Judas Kiss, and now as a director.

He’s made Triple Crossed (and also stars in the movie), which TLA Releasing has picked up to release. And now they’ve released a trailer, which is both dramatic and deliberately rather sexy.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘With a tour in Afghanistan behind him, war-torn Chris Jensen (introducing Jack Brockett) struggles to assimilate back to life in California. Drifting and living out of his car, he soon discovers that few are willing to deal with the remnants of a damaged career military man. Chris is self medicating; desperate to silence the echos from the front lines. When an opportunity finally presents itself, he makes the hard decision to employ his most coveted talents honed in special ops. A job is a job and Chris knows civilian life can be just as cut-throat as time on active duty. But just how close does he have to get to Andrew Warner (Sean Paul Lockhart) to secure the kill?’ [Read more…]

By Leave a Comment


Black Nativity has sounded interested even since it was announced that the Langston Hughes’s classic 1961 musical was finally going to be made. Now the first trailer has been released and it looks even more intriguing.

Forest Whitaker, Angela Bassett, Jennifer Hudson, Tyrese Gibson and Mary J. Blige star, with Kasi Lemmons directing. Unsurprisingly the film will be out at Christmas. [Read more…]

Ben Affleck’s Batman May Get A Love Interest For Man Of Steel 2

By Leave a Comment

batman-superman-comic-con-logoEver since it was officially announced Superman and Batman would team up (or at least share screen time) in the follow-up to Man Of Steel, there have been endless rumours flying around. Now there’s another one, this time from Latino Review, which suggests Zack Snyder is on the love interest for Batman in the movie.

A casting breakdown has apparently been circulated to talent agencies, which says, ‘They’re looking for someone in their late 20s and are open to all ethnicities…. They’re being very specific and looking for an actress who is both tall and possesses physicality.’

As with always in Hollywood, a guy in his 40s is getting a much younger love interest (it would be nice if Tinsel Town could at least pretend they cared about sexism). There’s no news on who the character will be, such as whether it’ll somebody like Vicky Vale, or a brand new character.

The film is due out in 2015.

transformers-4-poster1
While the logo for Transformers 4 was released a few months ago, one thing it was lacking was a subtitle. We’ve already had Revenge Of The Fallen and Dark Of The Moon, so it was a good bet the fourth outing wouldn’t just be Transformers 4.

Now we now it’s going to be called Transformers: Age of Extinction, as revealed on the first teaser poster, which includes the Decepticon insignia merged with a four, set against a desert landscape. There are still few specifics about the plot, although it will feature an all-new human cast. The new title has many thinking it’s a reference to the dinobots, who it’s been confirmed will be in the movie.

Grimlock (Tyrannosaurus rex), Slag (Triceratops), Sludge (Apatosaurus), Snarl (Stegosaurus), Swoop (Pteranodon) and Paddles (Elasmosaurus) will appear, alongside human franchise newcomers Mark Wahlberg, Jack Reynor, Stanley Tucci, Kelsey Grammer, Nicola Peltz, T.J. Miller and Sophia Myles.

When he finds himself abandoned, penniless and without his passport, he discovers a young girl with an extraordinary voice, whom he sneaks back to Kabul to compete on the popular television show, “The Afghan Star,” Afghanistan’s equivalent of “American Idol.”’
