Tom Felton, Garret Dillahunt & Jake Abel Up For WWII Movie Ghosts of the Pacific

April 10, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

tom-feltonGarret Dillahunt (Raising Hope), Tom Felton (Harry Potter), and Jake Abel (The Host) are getting together for a World War II movie called Ghosts of the Pacific, which tells the true story of three Navy flyers who got cast adrift on the South Pacific in 1942.

Brian Falk will make his directorial debut with the film, which tells the incredible journey of pilot Harold Dixon (Dillahunt), bombardier Tony Pastula (Felton), and radioman Gene Aldrich (Abel), who were virtual strangers assigned to a scouting mission on January 16, 1942. When they were forced to ditch their plane in the ocean, the men were left with no food, water, or supplies; only a 4ft by 8ft yellow life raft to keep them afloat.
Written by Mark David Keegan and Falk,

Ghosts of the Pacific is scheduled to commence principal photography April 15th, working from a script by Falk and Mark David Keegan. The movie will shoot at Baja Studios in Rosarito, Mexico, which houses the largest outdoor water tank in the world, built for James Cameron’s Titanic.

Jim Carrey On For Ensemble Comedy Ricky Stanicky

April 10, 2013 By Tim Isaac 1 Comment

jim-carreyJim Carrey has been busy trying to revive his career, and while The Incredible Burt Wonderstone didn’t work out too well, he’ll be hoping better from Kick-Ass 2 and Loomis Fargo. Now he’s added another movie to the list, as THR reports he’s signed up to star in Ricky Stanicky.

The trade paper says, the film is ‘an ensemble comedy in the vein of The Hangover, and begins when three teens pull a prank and burn down a house in their neighborhood’. To get out of trouble, the gang invents a fictional scapegoat called Ricky Stanicky, a figure they continue to use to get out of scrapes over the next 20 years. However things get tricky when their wives and girlfriends get fed up with hearing about the irresponsible Ricky and demand to meet him, so the guys have to hire an out of work actor to play him.

It’s not clear which role Carrey is up for, although it is known James Franco was previously attached to the Ricky role, which Jim could have taken over.

Steve Oedekerk, with whom Carrey worked on both Bruce Almighty and Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls, is currently rewriting the script (based on Jeff Bushell’s original screenplay) and will also direct.

Anne Hathaway Reuniting With Christopher Nolan For Interstellar

April 10, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

anne-hathawayAnne Hathaway and Christopher Nolan must have had a good time working together on The Dark Knight Rise as they’re now planning to reunite for the director’s new movie, Interstellar, according to Deadline, which will see her star alongside Matthew McConaughey.

As always with Nolan, there aren’t too many plot details available, but the story centres on an interstellar voyage that pushes the boundaries of scientific knowledge.

The project’s roots go back to 2006, when Steven Spielberg hired Jonathan Nolan, Christopher Nolan’s younger brother, to write the screenplay. The idea sprung from noted physicist Kip S. Thorne’s theory that wormholes actually exist and can be used for time travel.

Christopher Nolan has since rewritten the screenplay, which merges his own original ideas with the script that his brother Jonathan Nolan wrote. A release date of November 7th, 2014 has been set.

Sigourney Weaver ‘Touched and Thrilled’ To Be A Gay Geek Icon

April 9, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Sigourney-WeaverGeeks can most certainly be LGBT, and there are a few groups out there brining together the geeky and gay, including Geeks OUT, which most recently held an exhibition of art that celebrated, ‘Sigourney Weaver as a fabulous sci-fi icon and a staunch ally to LGBT fans’.

The artworks were then auctioned off the benefit the group. Unfortunately Weaver’s Broadway commitments (she’s starring in Vanya and Sonia and Masha Spike) meant she couldn’t attend herself, but she did send a message, saying how delighted she is with all things gay and geeky. Here’s the message:

Dear friends and fellow geeks at Geeks OUT,
I send you greetings from Broadway where I am performing in a new comedy by Christopher Durang. I am extremely touched and thrilled to be honored by Geeks OUT as a queer geek icon and muse. It means so much to me that my work has been relevant and encouraging to the LGBT community. I support each and every one of you to be exactly and gloriously who you are and all you can be. The planet needs your individuality and talent and power to make it a more humane and respectful and fantastic place, where everyone is valued and celebrated equally. So rock on and geek out, my friends. Have a wonderful time tonight. Thank you again for this awesome honor, thanks very much to Jono Jarrett for getting in touch and going forward, and please come see us geeks on Broadway!

First Man Of Steel TV Spot – Henry Cavill is gonna change the world

April 9, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment


Warner/DC has a lot riding on Man Of Steel, so they’re starting the hype early, with the first TV spot now available, more than two months before the June 14th release. It mainly features footage we’ve seen before, although the voiceover is new and there are a few fresh images.

It also continues the portentous tone the previous marketing has had, which could be a dangerous game, as if the film is good it’ll help make it more of an event, but if it isn’t, it’ll just highlight how OTT the attitude is.

The film sees Henry Cavill don the Superman cape, with Amy Adams, Russell Crowe and Kevin Costner co-starring. Zack Snyder directs.

New 300: Rise Of An Empire Pics Emerge Including A Shirtless Sullivan Stapleton

April 9, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

300-rise-of-an-empire-pic1The follow-up to 300 is finally coming this summer, and to prove it, a couple of new images from 300: Rise of an Empire has been released. One features Aussie actor Sullivan Stapleton as the mighty Themistokles, while the other features a sea-bound battle.

Director Noam Murro’s has been talking about the movie to USA Today, saying it runs “parallel” to the 2007 blockbuster 300. He adds, “The few against the many is still here. It’s hundreds vs. hundreds of thousands. It’s about taking on the mightiest power of all with wisdom and tactics.”

Murro also compared Themistokles to Gerard Butler’s King Leonidas in 300, saying “Themistokles is battle-scarred and a warrior, but at the same time he’s a politician. He’s not the king. He has to rule in a democracy. It’s a different complexity of character.”

Sullivan Stapleton aspoke about the cunning Artemisia (Eva Green), who is after revenge.”She does most of Xerxes’ dirty work in this film,” he says. “She’s seeking revenge, and she does it well. She’s a force to be reckoned with.”

The movie is out this August.

Matt Damon & Michael Douglas Sparkle In Behind The Candelabra Trailer

April 9, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment


We’ve had a short promo for HBO’s Liberace biopic, Behind The Candelabra, and now it’s been followed by a full trailer, giving us our best look yet as Michael Douglas and the flamboyant pianist and Matt Damon as he is lover, Scottie Thorson.

Douglas look remarkably like Liberace and Damon hasn’t looked as hot in a long time. Indeed, you might want to repeat the bit where he gets out of a pool a few times.

Here’s the official synopsis: ‘Before Elvis, before Elton John, Madonna and Lady Gaga, there was Liberace: virtuoso pianist, outrageous entertainer and flamboyant star of stage and television. A name synonymous with showmanship, extravagance and candelabras, he was a world renowned performer with a flair that endeared him to his audiences and created a loyal fan base spanning his 40-year career. Liberace lived lavishly and embraced a lifestyle of excess both on and off stage. In summer 1977, handsome young stranger Scott Thorson walked into his dressing room and, despite their age difference and seemingly different worlds, the two embarked on a secretive five-year love affair. BEHIND THE CANDELABRA takes a behind-the-scenes look at their tempestuous relationship — from their first meeting backstage at the Las Vegas Hilton to their bitter and public break-up.’

It’ll screen on HBO in the US on May 27th and will hopefully reach the rest of the world shortly afterwards. [Read more…]
