Marjorie Prime Trailer – Jon Hamm goes holographic as the recreation of a dead man

July 30, 2017 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

There was a fair amount of interest in Marjorie Prime when it debuted at Sundance. Although some didn’t like it, most were intrigued by the premise and how it was handled.

So what’s it about? Here’s the synopsis: ‘Eighty-six-year-old Marjorie spends her final, ailing days with a computerized version of her deceased husband. With the intent to recount their life together, Marjorie’s “Prime” relies on the information from her and her kin to develop a more complex understanding of his history. As their interactions deepen, the family begins to develop ever diverging recounts of their lives, drawn into the chance to reconstruct the often painful past.

‘Built around exceptional performances from a veteran cast, Marjorie Prime shines a light on an often-obscured corner in the world of artificial intelligence and its interactions with mortality. Bringing us robustly into the future, Michael Almaryeda’s poetic film forces us to face the question—If we had the opportunity, how would we choose to rebuild the past, and what would we decide to forget?’

The great cast includes Jon Hamm, Geena Davis, Tim Robbins and Lois Smith. Take a look at the trailer below. The film is due out in the US on August 18th. [Read more…]

New It Trailer – Bill Skarsgard’s Pennywise the clown is out to terrify the kids

July 27, 2017 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

When it was announced that  26-year-old Bill Skargard was going to play Pennywise the Clown in a new movie version of Stephen King’s It, many thought he was too young for the role. However, those who’ve seen some of the footage have suggested he’s pretty terrifying. Now we get a new taste of Andrés Muschietti’s with the first full trailer for the film.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘New Line Cinema’s horror thriller “IT”, directed by Andrés Muschietti (“Mama”), is based on the hugely popular Stephen King novel of the same name, which has been terrifying readers for decades.

When children begin to disappear in the town of Derry, Maine, a group of young kids are faced with their biggest fears when they square off against an evil clown named Pennywise, whose history of murder and violence dates back for centuries.

“IT” stars Bill Skarsgård (“Allegiant,” TV’s “Hemlock Grove”) as the story’s central villain, Pennywise. An ensemble of young actors also star in the film, including Jaeden Lieberher (“Midnight Special”), Jeremy Ray Taylor (“Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Road Chip”), Sophia Lillis (“37”), Finn Wolfhard (TV’s “Stranger Things”), Wyatt Oleff (“Guardians of the Galaxy”), Chosen Jacobs (upcoming “Cops and Robbers”), Jack Dylan Grazer (“Tales of Halloween”) and Nicholas Hamilton (“Captain Fantastic”).’

The film will be in UK cinemas on September 8th. [Read more…]

Suburbicon Trailer – Matt Damon stars in the George Clooney directed dark comedy

July 27, 2017 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

The bromance between Matt Damon and George Clooney continues with Suburbicon, which Damon stars in and Clooney directs. To make sure it really is a bit of a love-in, the script comes from Clooney’s O Brother Where Art Thou? and Hail Caesar directors, Joel & Ethan Coen, with contirbutions from George and longtime producing partner Grant Heslov.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Suburbicon is a peaceful, idyllic suburban community with affordable homes and manicured lawns…the perfect place to raise a family, and in the summer of 1959, the Lodge family is doing just that. But the tranquil surface masks a disturbing reality, as husband and father Gardner Lodge (Matt Damon) must navigate the town’s dark underbelly of betrayal, deceit, and violence. This is a tale of very flawed people making very bad choices. This is Suburbicon.’

Oscar Isaac and Julianne Moore also star. It’s due in US cinemas in October, with a late November UK date set. Take a look at the trailer below. [Read more…]

Nick Offerman Is Going Musical In Hearts Beat Loud

July 27, 2017 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

There are a lot of people who love Nick Offerman from Parks & Recreation, but he’s never gotten to be the lead in a movie. Now though he’s taking centre stage and showing off his musical skills at the same time, as he’s set to headline Hearts Beat Loud.

THR reports he’ll star alongside Ted Danson, Sasha Lane, Blythe Danner, Kiersey Clemons and Toni Collette in the movie, with Brett Haley directing. It should start shooting in New York in August.

The movie ‘centers on a father (Offerman) and daughter (Clemons) who form an unlikely songwriting duo in the last summer before she leaves for college. Hearts Beat Loud will feature four original songs and a score by award-winning composer-songwriter Keegan DeWitt.’

We’re also being promised that both Offerman and Clemons will sing in the movie.

Haley comments, “I wrote the film with Nick Offerman in mind after my experience working with him on The Hero. He is one of my favorite actors, and I’m very excited to be putting him at the center of this film.”

Tom Hardy Set To Star In Bosnian Conflict Drama My War Gone By, I Miss It So

July 26, 2017 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Tom Hardy may be going to war. Having just starred in Dunkirk, he’s now planning to star in and produce a movie version of the war memoir, My War Gone By, I Miss It So, but journalist and war correspondent, Anthony Loyd. Gavin O’Connor (Warrior, The Accountant) is set to direct, according to Variety.

Llloyd’s book is a, ‘personal account of the Bosnian War, and alternates between his experiences in Bosnia and personal reflections of his time in the British army, his parents’ divorce, his estrangement from his father, and his heroin addiction.’

Hardy comments, “‘My War Gone By’ is a brutal yet sensitive story which addresses both the nature of addiction and the experience of war. I was struck by Anthony’s work and words, experiences, and for me his is an important voice and an important book.”

O’Connor adds, “Anthony’s memoir was love at first page – a portrait of war like I’d never read before, An up-close-and-personal account of a heroin junkie reporting from the front lines of Bosnia – the bloodiest conflict Europe has witnessed since the Second World War – who uses the high of war to kick his drug habit. It’s a book written with both fists. It’s Anthony’s ‘Apocalypse Now.’ I feel privileged and honored for the opportunity to bring the book to the movies.”

Anne Hathaway Is Thinking Of Replacing Amy Schumer In The Barbie Movie

July 26, 2017 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

When it was first announced, many people thought a movie about Barbie sounded like a hideous idea. However, the fact it had Amy Schumer attached and a more feminist plot that you might have expected made people a little more interested. However, then Schumer dropped out.

Now though, a replacement may have been found, and it may be a smart choice. Deadline reports that Anne Hathaway is circling the role, and may well sign on.

If she does take the role, ‘Hathaway would play a character who lives in Barbieland, where she gets kicked out basically because she’s not perfect enough, is a bit eccentric and doesn’t quite fit the mold. She then goes on an adventure in the real world, and by the time she returns to Barbieland to save it, she has gained the realization that perfection comes on the inside, not the outside, and that the key to happiness is belief in oneself, free of the obligation to adhere to some unattainable standard of perfection.’

Alethea Jones (Lemonade Stand) is in talks to direct the movie, which is being planned as a PG rated family adventure. The studio is also apparently still eyeing a June 2018 release.

Nicholas Hoult May Play J.R.R. Tolkien In A New Biopic

July 26, 2017 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Most people know about Lord Of The Rings and The Hobbit (at least from the film versions), but not that many people know much about the man behind Middle Earth, JRR Tolkien. The film world is trying to change that with a new biopic, which Deadline reports has Nicholas Hoult in the frame for the main role.

The film, ‘explores the formative years of the orphaned author as he finds friendship, love and artistic inspiration among a fellow group of outcasts at school. This takes him into the outbreak of World War I, which threatens to tear the “fellowship” apart. All of these experiences would inspire Tolkien to write his famous Middle-Earth novels.’

There may well be a reason they’re concentrating on his very early years, as while he was an interesting fellow later on, he also had a bit of a reputation as a dismissive grump, as well as being very anally retentive about certain things.

Finnish director Dome Karukoski, who hits cinemas soon with another biopic – about gay erotic artist Tom Of Finland – is set to direct from a script by David Gleeson and Stephen Beresford. It’s not known when the Tolkien movie might arrive in cinemas.

Beach Rats Trailer – Take a look at the Sundance prize-winning, gay-themed film

July 24, 2017 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

This year was a good one for LGBT movies at Sundance, with the likes of Call Me By Your Name, God’s Own Country and Beach Rats making waves. A new trailer for the last of those films has now arrived, which you can take a look at below.

Beach Rats also won Best Director – US Features for Eliza Hittman at Sundance.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘On the outskirts of Brooklyn, Frankie, an aimless teenager, suffocates under the oppressive glare cast by his family and a toxic group of delinquent friends. Struggling with his own identity, Frankie begins to scour hookup sites for older men. When his chatting and webcamming intensify, he begins meeting men at a nearby cruising beach while simultaneously entering into a cautious relationship with a young woman. As Frankie struggles to reconcile his competing desires, his decisions leave him hurtling toward irreparable consequences. Eliza Hittman’s award-winning Sundance hit is a powerful character study that is as visually stunning as it is evocative.’

Beach Rats is will be in US cinemas from August 25th, and should arrive in the UK in November. [Read more…]

My Friend Dahmer Trailer – Ross Lynch takes on a gay, future serial killer

July 24, 2017 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Films about real-life serial killers aren’t exactly rare, but movies about them when they were young, before they became multiple murderers are far less common. That’s the subject of My Friend Dahmer, starring form Disney Channel actor Ross Lynch as a teen version of Jeffrey Dahmer.

Dahmer is of course one of the most famous serial killers in history, who killed at least 17 people, most of whom he’d picked up at Milwaukee gay bars. The fact that he kept body parts, ate parts of them and had sex with their corpses ensured he stood out from nearly all other killers. He said what he really wanted was to create a kind of zombie so that the person would never leave him, and managed to kill several of his victims while injecting things into their brains as part of his experimentation. He also defied the stereotypical image of a monster, as Dahmer was quite handsome and most people thought he was pretty normal until it was discovered what he was really doing. He was killed in prison by another inmate in 1994.

His early life should make for an interesting film, as he killed animals as a teen, and committed his first murder while he was still living at home. Marc Meyers is directing the movie, based on Derf Backderf’s critically acclaimed graphic novel.

The first trailer for the movie has now been released, which you can take a look at below. It’s a rather creepy affair, especially if you know what really happened.

The film will be out in the US in the Autumn. No UK date is currently set. [Read more…]
