Alice Creed’s J Blakeson May Take On Alien Invasion Flick, The Fifth Wave

September 3, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

J-BlakesonJ Blakeson made quite an impression with his directorial debut with The Disappearance of Alice Creed, but we haven’t had anything from him since then. Now he may have found his next project, as he’s circling the science fiction thriller The Fifth Wave, according to Variety.

Sony is backing the movie, which is based on the Rick Yancey’s novel. It follows a girl searching for her brother after a series of alien invasions have destroyed humanity’s resolve. She is on the run from being that look human but aren’t, and then runs into the mysterious Evan Walker, who may be her and her brother’s only hope.

Graham King and Tobey Maguire are producing (Maguire isn’t currently attached to star), with the hope that this can become a franchise.

Blue Valentine’s Derek Cianfrance Circles The Light Between Oceans

September 3, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

derek-cianfranceDerek Cianfrance’s profile has certainly risen thanks to Blue Valentine and The Place Beyond The Pines. Now he’s planning his next movie, with Variety reporting that he’s set to direct The Light Between Oceans for DreamWorks.

The film will be based  on the debut novel from M.L. Stedman, which ‘takes place on a remote Australian island after World War I, where a lighthouse keeper and his wife face a moral dilemma when a dead man and a two-month-old infant wash up in a boat on shore.’

It may be for DreamWorks but it certainly sounds like Cianfrance is sticking to the indie drama feel. Harry Potter’s David Heyman will produce.

While Cianfrance has made his last two movies with Ryan Gosling, the actor has recently said he’s taking a break, so he may not appear in this one.

Jared Harris Joins Henry Cavill & Armie Hammer In Man From U.N.C.L.E.

September 3, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

jared-harrisAfter decades in the making, The Man From U.N.C.L.E. is finally making the jump from TV to the big screen, with Guy Ritchie directing and Armie Hammer and Henry Cavill in the lead roles. With just a week to go until it starts shooting they’ve got some new company, as THR reports that Jared Harris has signed on for the movie.

Cavill and Hammer are set to play Napoleon Solo and Illya Kullyakin, agents of United Network Command for Law Enforcement (U.N.C.L.E.) who protect the Earth from the evil organization Technological Hierarchy for the Removal of Undesireables and the Subjugation of Humanity (T.H.R.U.S.H.).

Hugh Grant is also onboard as the head of British Naval Intelligence, with Alicia Vikander as a British agent who has an affinity for cars. There’s no info on what Harris will be doing in the movie. Don’t be surprised if he’s being villainous though, as that’s what he’s normally cast as (not least in Ritchie’s Sherlock Holmes: A Game Of Shadows.

September 3, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Secret-Life-of-Walter-Mitty-Teaser-One-Sheet2
There’s already a lot of buzz for The Secret Life Of Walter Mitty, which the studio is now trying to build ahead of the film’s release this Christmas. There’s a lot riding on it, as some are already suggesting the film could make a strong awards run.

Now two new posters have been released, which you can see above and below.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Ben Stiller directs and stars in THE SECRET LIFE OF WALTER MITTY, James Thurber’s classic story of a day-dreamer who escapes his anonymous life by disappearing into a world of fantasies filled with heroism, romance and action. When his job along with that of his co-worker (Kristen Wiig) are threatened, Walter takes action in the real world embarking on a global journey that turns into an adventure more extraordinary than anything he could have ever imagined.’

You can take a look at another recent poster here, and a trailer here.

Neighbors Red Band Trailer – Zac Efron & Dave Franco turn frat boys

September 3, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment


I’ve lived next door to a frat house, and to be honest, it wasn’t that bad, but that’s not the case for Seth Rogen, who gets good news and bad news when he has new neighbors.

The good news is that Zac Efron and Dave Franco have moved in, but the bad is that they are part of a loud, hard-partying frat who really don’t care what sort of chaos they cause the neighborhood.

After a rather hot pic of Efron in the movie landed a couple of days ago (which you can see below), now a red band trailer for Neighbors has landed, showing just what sort of disruption the Rogen and Rose Byrne experience when the boys come to town.

The film will be in cinemas early next year.

The Butler Fights Off One Direction At The US Box Office

September 2, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

one-direction-this-is-us-posterWhile One Direction’s 3D documentary, This Is Us, topped the three-day weekend, when estimates for the Labor Day holiday were added in, The Butler held off the boy band onslaught to take the top spot on the US box office chart with $20 million.

This Is Us took the second spot with $18 million. That’s below the likes of Miley Cyrus, Justin Bieber and Michael Jackson, but ahead of flops from Katy Perry and the Jonas Brothers. And seeing as it only cost $10 million to make it should be very profitable.

However the big story was the film at number 5, Instructions Not Included. Few mainstream film analysts had even heard of the movie, largely because it was only opening on 347 screens. However its 10 million four-day take ended up being the biggest opening ever for a Spanish-language movie. While movies for Hispanic audiences have been growing in popularity, this one blew all previous efforts out of the water.

The final new entry was the Ethan Hawke and Selena Gomez movie Getaway, which just snuck into the top 10 with a less than impressive $5.5 million.

Take a look below for the US box office top 10 for the weekend of August 30th to September 2nd.

Rank Title Weekend Gross (millions) Total Gross to date (millions)
1 Lee Daniels’ The Butler $20.0 $79.2
2 One Direction: This Is Us $18.0 $18.0
3 We’re The Millers $15.9 $112.8
4 Planes $10.6 $73.7
5 Instructions Not Included $10.0 $10.0
6 Elysium $8.3 $80.4
7 The Mortal Instruments: City Of Bones $6.8 $24.2
8 The World’s End $6.0 $17.5
9 Percy Jackson: Sea Of Monsters $6.0 $56.5
10 Getaway $5.5 $5.5

Now a montage of the competing shorts has been released, which you can take a look at above, allowing us a glimpse at the eclectic selection, which range from the zany (giant rabbits kissing, anyone?) to the overtly emotional.

The films will screen during this year’s Iris Prize Festival which takes place from October 9th-13th in Cardiff. [Read more…]

Under The Skin Teaser Trailer – Scarlett Johansson turns alien

September 2, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment


Scarlett Johansson might look like us, but she’s actually an alien who preys on men! Well, at least she is in Under The Skin.

It’s taken a while for the first teaser trailer to arrive, but it’s here now, with Johansson looking sultry as an alien on earth, disguised as the perfect aesthetic form of a mesmerizing woman. She scours remote highways and desolate scenery looking to use her greatest weapon to snare human prey – her voracious sexuality. She is deadly efficient, but over time becomes drawn to and changed by the complexity of life on earth. With this new found humanity and weakening alien resolve, she finds herself on a collision course with her own kind. Taking her point of view throughout, the film presents a unique look at our world through alien eyes.

The plot is essentially Species but as the teaser shows, this is something stranger and more interesting. Jonathan Glazer (Sexy Beast, Birth) directs the movie, which recently premiered at Telluride. [Read more…]

Terry Gilliam Creates A Fantastical World Of Ads In The First Clip From Zero Theorem

September 2, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment


Terry Gilliam loves to create fantastical worlds, but either because of the technology of the time or a limited budget (which has been his issue in recent years), it’s often felt like he was incredibly constrained but doing really well to create something visually unique with what he had.

Well, if this first clip from Zero Theorem is anything to go by, Gilliam’s brain has been allowed out to create a big, bold world. It’s still familiar as his though, from the which of the past and the future to the slightly strange looking and dress of the people. The clip show us a bald Christoph Waltz wandering through a world that’s been taken over by ads.

Zero Theorem is about an eccentric and reclusive computer genius (Waltz), who is plagued with existential angst while working on a mysterious project aimed at discovering the purpose of existence, or­ the lack thereof,­ once and for all. However, it is only once he experiences the power of love and desire that he is able to understand his very reason for being. The story, by Pat Rushin, was partially inspired by Gilliam’s own Brazil, so it’s very apt Terry has taken the project on.

Ben Whishaw, Matt Damon, Tilda Swinton, David Thewlis, Mélanie Thierry, Lucas Hedges and Sanjeev Bhaskar co-star. The film just premiered at the Venice Film Festival, and will hopefully be released fairly soon. [Read more…]

Fugitive Director Andrew Davis Is Going To Treasure Island

September 2, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Andrew-DavisA couple of years ago several versions of Treasure Island went into development, although none actually made it into production. Now The Fugitive director Andrew Davis, who hasn’t made a film since the 2006 drama The Guardian, has revealed that he is planning a modern-day remake of Robert Louis Stevenson’s novel, entitled Thieves Fortune, according to Crave.

Davis says, “I’m currently putting together a modern version of Treasure Island set in post Katrina Louisiana called Thieves Fortune. It’s the treasure of Jean LaFitte and I think it could be a really interesting, fun movie that could be about something and still be very entertaining.”

The director is currently working on the screenplay with George Gallo and a number of other writers. The project doesn’t have studio backing yet, but the director said they will start pitching it once the script is complete and a cast is attached.

“I’ve turned down a lot of violent action movies which I don’t want to do” Davis says. “I don’t want to make a film where violence is the entertainment. I had a great time with Holes (which he produced but didn’t direct). I’m interested in doing family movies or four quadrant movies that are based upon quality literature or books.”
