New Kick-Ass 2 Poster Has Aaron Johnson & Chloe Moretz Ready To Fight

June 20, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

kick-ass-2-poster2A new poster for Kick-Ass 2 has arrived, which certainly makes the movie look pretty cool, with Kick-Ass and Hit Girl all geared up and ready to take on any villains.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Kick-Ass, Hit Girl and Red Mist return for the follow-up to 2010’s irreverent global hit: Kick-Ass 2.  After Kick-Ass’ (Aaron Taylor-Johnson) insane bravery inspires a new wave of self-made masked crusaders, led by the badass Colonel Stars and Stripes (Jim Carrey), our hero joins them on patrol.  When these amateur superheroes are hunted down by Red Mist (Christopher Mintz-Plasse)—reborn as The Mother F%&*^r—only the blade-wielding Hit Girl (Chloë Grace Moretz) can prevent their annihilation.

‘When we last saw junior assassin Hit Girl and young vigilante Kick-Ass, they were trying to live as normal teenagers Mindy and Dave.  With graduation looming and uncertain what to do, Dave decides to start the world’s first superhero team with Mindy.  Unfortunately, when Mindy is busted for sneaking out as Hit Girl, she’s forced to retire—leaving her to navigate the terrifying world of high-school mean girls on her own.  With no one left to turn to, Dave joins forces with Justice Forever, run by a born-again ex-mobster named Colonel Stars and Stripes.

‘Just as they start to make a real difference on the streets,  the world’s first super villain, The Mother F%&*^r, assembles his own evil league and puts a plan in motion to make Kick-Ass and Hit Girl pay for what they did to his dad.  But there’s only one problem with his scheme: If you mess with one member of Justice Forever, you mess with them all.’

It hits UK cinemas on August 14th, before it hits the US on August 16th.

Free Birds Trailer – Owen Wilson & Woody Harrelson turn time-traveling turkeys

June 20, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment


Turkeys aren’t well-known for their time-traveling abilities, but that’s being remedied with Free Birds, a new CG animated movie from Horton Hears A Who! helmer Jimmy Hayward.

The film features the voices of Owen Wilson and Woody Harrelson as two turkeys from opposite sides of the tracks who must put aside their differences and team up to travel back in time to change the course of history – and get turkey off the Thanksgiving menu for good.

Amy Poehler, Dan Fogler, Lesley Nicol, George Takei, Colm Meaney, Keith David, Eddie “Piolin” Sotelo, and Dwight Howard also provide voices for the film. It won’t be too surprising to hear this is getting a November 1st pre-Thanksgiving release in the US, although no UK date is set yet. [Read more…]

Three Flavour Cornetto Trilogy Trailer – Shaun Of The Dead, Hot Fuzz and The World’s End

June 20, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment


Simon Pegg, Nick Frost and director Edgar Wright are back together in cinemas soon with The World’s End, and to celebrate, Universal have teamed up with UK theatre chains Vue Cinemas to host the Three Flavours Cornetto trilogy screenings!

Starting on July 18th at 7.30pm, audiences will be treated to special screenings of Shaun Of The Dead, Hot Fuzz, and finally a first viewing of The World’s End at midnight. This exciting event will be taking place at selected Vue cinemas across the UK. And to remind us of the fun, they’ve released a special trailer promoting all three movies.

Here’s the synopsis for The World’s End: ‘Director Edgar Wright and actors Simon Pegg and Nick Frost reunite for a third film following the successes “Shaun of the Dead” (2004) and “Hot Fuzz” (2007). In “The World’s End,” 20 years after attempting an epic pub crawl, five childhood friends reunite when one of them becomes hellbent on trying the drinking marathon again. They are convinced to stage an encore by Gary King (Simon Pegg), a 40-year-old man trapped at the cigarette end of his teens, who drags his reluctant pals to their hometown and once again attempts to reach the fabled pub – The World’s End. As they attempt to reconcile the past and present, they realise the real struggle is for the future, not just theirs but humankind’s. Reaching The World’s End is the least of their worries.’

The Spectacular Now Trailer – Miles Teller & Shailene Woodley fall in love

June 20, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment


James Ponsoldt’s film The Spectacular Now has been getting pretty good reviews after festival screenings, and now we get our first look with a trailer.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Sutter Keely (Miles Teller) lives in the now. It’s a good place for him. A high school senior, charming and self-possessed, he’s the life of the party, loves his job at a men’s clothing store, and has no plans for the future. A budding alcoholic, he’s never far from his supersized, whisky-fortified thirst-master cup. But after being dumped by his girlfriend, Sutter gets drunk and wakes up on a lawn with Aimee Finicky (Shailene Woodley) hovering over him. She’s different: the “nice girl” who reads science fiction and doesn’t have a boyfriend. While Amy has dreams of a future, Sutter lives in the impressive delusion of a spectacular now, yet somehow, they’re drawn together.’

Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Bob Odenkirk, Kyle Chandler, and Brie Larson also star. [Read more…]

Bridesmaids’ Paul Feig Takes On Spy Comedy Susan Cooper

June 20, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

paul-feigPaul Feig has worked as an actor, created Freaks & Geeks and directed the likes of I Am David, but his helming career went to another level when he made Bridesmaids. This summer he’s got the Sandra Bullock and Melissa McCarthy starrer The Heat coming to cinemas, but he’s already looking to the future, as TheWrap reports that he’s set to write, direct and produce Susan Cooper.

It’s described as a James Bond-inspired spy comedy, but with a female lead. While Feig is known for broad comedy, Susan Cooper isn’t a parody, but is instead said to be a gritty and realistic comedy. Indeed its suggested that it’s been heavily influenced by Martin Campbell’s Casino Royale.

The film is said to centre on two lead characters – which is somewhat unexpected given the title – and is being set up as a potential franchise. 20th Century Fox, which worked with the filmmaker also backed, is onboard for this one.

June 20, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

morten-tyldumMorten Tyldum has already segued his success with the Scandinavian movie Headhunters into landing the job as director of the Alan Turing biopic The Imitation Game, which is due to shoot soon with Benedict Cumberbatch and Keira Knightley set to star.

Locke & Key Comic Getting An Adaptation At Universal Pictures

June 20, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

locke-and-key-comic-coverStar Trek and Transformers writers/producers Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman must really like the comic book series Locke & Key, as despite initial attempts to turn it into a film failing, and then a pilot episode of a TV version not getting picked up by Fox (mainly due to budget issues), they haven’t given up.

Now they’ve signed a deal with Universal Pictures to move forward with plans to turn the failed Locke & Key pilot into a movie. Earlier reports suggested the studio was thinking of making a trilogy of movies, but it’s not know if that’s still the case.

Orci and Kurtzman aren’t even the first to try and turn it into a film, as it was being developed as a feature by Dimension Films back in 2008. Created by Joe Hill, Locke & Key is about three siblings who return to their massive estate in Massachusetts after their father’s murder. They soon realise that the house has magical keys that give supernatural powers to those who possess them, which they must use to stop an evil creature who also wants the keys.

Mary Jane Watson Cut From The Amazing Spider-Man 2

June 20, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

shailene-woodleyWhile Mary Jane Watson wasn’t in The Amazing Spider-man, she was supposed to be in the sequel, with Descendants star Shailene Woodley taking the role. However it now appears her scenes have been cut.

Entertainment Weekly recently spoke with actress Woodley about her role in the upcoming YA adaptation Divergent, and it was actress herself who revealed that she has been bumped from The Amazing Spider-Man 2. She says, “Of course I’m bummed. But I’m a firm believer in everything happening for a specific reason….based on the proposed plot, I completely understand holding off on introducing (Mary Jane) until the next film.”

Woodley’s role in the movie was only going to be small – indeed she only shot for three days on the movie – leading into an expanded role in Amazing Spider-man 3.

Director Marc Webb comments, “I made a creative decision to streamline the story and focus on Peter and Gwen and their relationship. Shailene is an incredibly talented actress, and while we only shot a few scenes with Mary Jane, we all love working with her.”

While the character of Mary Jane Watson is still expected to appear in the third adventure, it appears she may be recast and that Woodley is out. Indeed, some are speculating that with Sony wanting Spidey movies in 2014, 2016 and 2018, potential conflicts with Woodley’s schedule on Divergent and any sequels to that movie are behind why she’s been dropped from the second Spider-man film and will be recast for the third and fourth. We’ll have to wait and see whether Woodley does indeed get replaced.

Nowhere Boy’s Sam Taylor-Johnson Will Helm Fifty Shades Of Grey Movie

June 20, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

SamTaylor-Wood-JohnsonAfter months of speculation over who would helm the film version of Fifty Shades Of Grey, Universal Pictures and Focus Features has announced that British artist and director Sam Taylor-Johnson (previously known as Sam Taylor-Wood) has got the job.

Her only previous feature-length movie is Nowhere Boy, about a young John Lennon (and where she also met her now husband, Aaron Taylor-Johnson), however she does have some experience with sex on screen thanks to the short Death Valley, which was all about a man masturbating in the desert.

Producer Michael De Luca commented, “Sam’s unique ability to gracefully showcase complex relationships dealing with love, emotion and sexual chemistry make her the ideal director to bring Christian and Anastasia’s relationship to life. E.L. James’ characters and vivid storytelling require a director who is willing to take risks and push the envelope where needed and Sam is a natural fit.”

Sam Taylor-Johnson herself said, “I am excited to be charged with the evolution of Fifty Shades of Grey from page to screen. For the legions of fans, I want to say that I will honor the power of Erika’s book and the characters of Christian and Anastasia. They are under my skin too.”

Fifty Shades of Grey has become a global phenomenon and the trilogy has been translated in 50 languages worldwide since its release. To date, the Fifty Shades trilogy has sold over 70 million copies worldwide in e-book and print, making it one of the fastest selling book series ever.

The first book follow the relationship of 27-year-old billionaire Christian Grey and college student Anastasia Steele. Subsequent novels in the series, Fifty Shades Darker and Fifty Shades Freed explore the couple’s deepening relationship. There’s no news on when the movie might shoot, or who will star.

Many will now wonder whether Sam’s sexy hubby Aaron will be in the movie, which I’m sure many would be very happy to see. Indeed the pic below of Aaron and Sam gives you a taste of what some of the sweeter, less BDSM heavy moments of a Fifty Shades movie might be like.
