Seven New Man Of Steel Images Emerge

April 11, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

man-of-steel-ew-pic2The latest issue of EW features some interesting new images from Man Of Steel, including Superman (Henry Cavill) in flight, his bio-daddy Jor-el (Russell Crowe) and the infamous Zod (Michael Shannon). There’s also Kevin Costner and Diane Lane as Clark Kent’s human parents, Amy Adams as Lois Lane and Laurence Fishburne as Perry White.

The film promises a more real-world based look at Superman than earlier movies, with the trailers suggesting plenty of angst as Clark Kent tries to work out what it means to be the most powerful being on Earth.

The film opens this June. Click on the pics below for larger versions.

Director James Wan Circling Fast & Furious 7

April 11, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

James-WanUniversal Pictures had a problem last week when Justin Lin stepped away from helming Fast & Furious 7 due to the quick production schedule the studio wanted. However Universal still want to aim for a summer 2014 release, so they’ve quickly been looking for a replacement and now Deadline reports that they’re working on a deal with Saw and Insidious helmer James Wan to direct the movie.

Justin Lin directed the last four instalments of the franchise, but didn’t want to be prepping Part 7 as he completed Part 6. He seems quite happy about his replacement though, commenting, “I’m extremely proud to be part of the Fast franchise, it is an experience I will always treasure. It’s time for me to move on to other things and I’m thrilled that Universal and Neal have selected James Wan to lead the franchise into its new chapter.”

Contraband helmer Baltasar Kormákur, Jeff Wadlow and Harald Zwart were also being considered.

Debbie Reynolds Recounts Gay Co-star Tab Hunter Trying To Kiss Her

April 10, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

tab-hunter-debbie-reynoldsHe may not be as famous now as some stars of the 1950s, but in his day Tab Hunter was pretty much the definition of the teen idol, making young women swoon around the world with his blond good looks, hunky physique and clean cut style. However what few knew at the time he was starring in the likes of Damn Yankees and What Lola Wants, was that Hunter was also gay, something he didn’t reveal publicly until he wrote about it in his 2005 autobiography.

Now the legendary Debbie Reynolds has been talking about Hunter in her tell-all book, Unsinkable: A Memoir about the so-called Golden Days of Hollywood, saying that he tried to kiss her in the early 1950s, but she pulled away. The duo starred together in the 1961 movie, The Pleasure Of His Company, where they played an engaged couple, but had known each other for many years before then.

In her book, Reynolds says that when Hunter tried to kiss her, ‘I thought it would be like kissing my brother. And I was right. Tab is like my brother. It was the early 1950s; there was no discussion about being gay back then. But I knew that Tab was, and that I felt friendship for him, not romance.’

She adds, ‘The studios used to put us together for premieres and publicity occasions. One night in my parents’ kitchen in Burbank, Tab tried to kiss me goodbye. I told him not to… We always laughed and had fun when we were together. Tab’s a wonderful man who is married to another man now. I’m glad we’ve been friends for so long.’ (Quotes via GayStarNews)

TOM Trailer – Into the world of homoerotic artist Tom Of Finland

April 10, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment


Touko Laaksonen, better known as Tom Of Finland, became a bit of a gay legend with his illustrations of often leather-clad men with massive bulges engaging in all manner of homoerotic shenanigans. While his imagery is instantly recognisable to many, not many know anything about the man himself – other than the fact he comes from Finland.

Now a new movie, TOM, is coming to tell us more about the man, and the first trailer has  arrived, which is essentially a lengthy clip from the film, showing Tom trying to get through airport security. It’s not a traditional trailer as the movie hasn’t been filmed yet. Instead the promo is designed to drum up interest and hopefully secure funding and distribution rights.

The plan is to shot TOM next year, for release in 2015. You can find out more about the movie on its Facebook page.

And if you’re interested in Tom Of Finland, take a look at his Wikipedia entry. [Read more…]

Julian Sands Heads For LGBT Themed Six Dance Lessons in Six Weeks

April 10, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Julian-SandsThe cast for Six Dance Lessons in Six Weeks has been rounded out, with Variety reporting that Julian Sands has signed up for the movie, joining Cheyenne Jackson, Gena Rowlands, Jacki Weaver, Rita Moreno, Kathleen Rose Perkins, Anthony Zerbe and Simon Miller.

Rowlands is set to star as Lily Harrison, a Florida retiree who hires high-spirited dance instructor Michael Minetti (Jackson) to give her private dance lessons. The unlikely pair soon develop a friendship apart from dance.’ The relationship starts with lies – she pretending her husband is still alive, him pretending he isn’t gay and saying he’s married to a woman – but soon deepens into something more, with both coming to understand things about the other beyond the stereotypes.

Sands will be the owner of the dance studio Jackson’s character works out of.

The movie is based on Richard Alfieri’s adaptation of his play of the same name, with Arthur Allan Seidelman (he also helmed several stage versions). Shooting began Monday in Budapest.

Elysium Trailer – Major sci-fi class warfare between Matt Damon and Jodie Foster

April 10, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment


As we were promised, the trailer for Elysium has arrived, which is presumably so that it can get some interest just as Oblivion is released, which at least superficially seems to be rather similarly themed. It certainly look pretty cool, with great visual and an interesting idea behind it.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘In the year 2159 two classes of people exist: the very wealthy who live on a pristine man-made space station called Elysium, and the rest, who live on an overpopulated, ruined Earth. Secretary Rhodes (Jodie Foster), a hard line government official will stop at nothing to enforce anti-immigration laws and preserve the luxurious lifestyle of the citizens of Elysium. That doesn’t stop the people of Earth from trying to get in, by any means they can. When unlucky Max (Matt Damon) is backed into a corner, he agrees to take on a daunting mission that if successful will not only save his life, but could bring equality to these polarized worlds.’

Neill Blomkamp’s film hits US cinemas on August 9th and will arrive in the UK in September.

Iron Man 3 Featurette – Lots of fresh footage and take a look at the new characters

April 10, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment


It’s just a couple of weeks until Iron Man 3 arrives in UK cinemas on April 25th and May 3rd in the US, so to get un excited, a new featurette has been released, featuring plenty of fresh footage and an introduction to some of the new characters, played by the likes of Ben Kingsley, Rebecca Hall and Guy Pearce.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Marvel’s “Iron Man 3” pits brash-but-brilliant industrialist Tony Stark/Iron Man against an enemy whose reach knows no bounds. When Stark finds his personal world destroyed at his enemy’s hands, he embarks on a harrowing quest to find those responsible. This journey, at every turn, will test his mettle.

‘With his back against the wall, Stark is left to survive by his own devices, relying on his ingenuity and instincts to protect those closest to him. As he fights his way back, Stark discovers the answer to the question that has secretly haunted him: does the man make the suit or does the suit make the man?’

New Posters For Bradley Cooper In The Hangover III & Helena Bonham Carter In Lone Ranger

April 10, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

hangover-part-iii-poster5
A couple of new posters have emerged, one featuring Bradley Cooper in The Hangover Part III and other giving Helena Bonham Carter her own The Lone Ranger character poster.

The Hangover Part III sees Cooper standing outside a XXX video store, although we don’t know whether sex shops feature prominently in the movie or not. The film sees the Wolf Pack return to Las Vegas for one final blowout, which turns out to be just as manic as their earlier adventures. The sequel is released May 24th.

The Lone Ranger meanwhile is Disney’s mega-budget take on the classic character, with Armie Hammer in the title role and Johnny Depp as Tonto. As the poster lets us know, Helena Bonham Carter plays Red, or to giver her her full name, Red Harrington, who’s a pistol-packing brothel owner. The film’s out in July.

Rebel Wilson, Bryan Cranston & Mads Mikkelsen Up For Kung Fu Panda 3

April 10, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

rebel-wilsonWhile DreamWorks Animation has had a rather variable output record, one of the main bright spots (besides Shrek), has been Kung Fu Panda. We’ve already had one sequel and now another is on the way, with THR reporting that alongside franchise veterans Jack Black, Angelina Jolie and Seth Rogen, new characters will be voiced by Bryan Cranston, Mads Mikkelsen and Pitch Perfect star Rebel Wilson.

Unfortunately there’s no info on who the new actors will play as at the moment no plot info has been released. Safe to say though, Po the panda will be back trying to master martial arts, eat and much as he can and some sort of new threat will emerge which only him and his friends can sort out.

We won’t get to see the movie for a couple of year yet, as it’s not set for release until December 23rd, 2015.
