This Is 40 Red Band Trailer – Paul Rudd tries to look up his own butt

December 11, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment


The sort-of sequel to Knocked Up, This Is 40, hits UK cinemas on February 14th, and to get us excited things are getting a little rude with a new red band trailer, where Paul Rudd tries to look up his butt and Megan Fox shows off her bra. It looks like it could be a lot of fun.

The film focuses on Paul Rudd and Leslie Mann’s married couple from Knocked Up, Pete and Debbie, taking a look at their lives five years later as they reach their 40s. That involves a lot of dealing with kids, negotiating sex and putting up with the idiosyncracies of life. The film also stars Jason Segel, Chris O’Dowd, Melissa McCarthy and Albert Brooks.

New The Lone Ranger Trailer – Johnny Depp and Armie Hammer go for a western spectacular

December 11, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment


Mixing an old TV western with big budget action didn’t work to well with the Will Smith starrer The Wild Wild West, but then they said Pirate movies were box office poison until Jerry Bruckheimer, Gore Verbinski and Johnny Depp came up with Pirates Of The Caribbean. Now Bruckheimer, Verbinski and Depp are back with The Lone Ranger, and the first full trailer for the movie has now shown up.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘From producer Jerry Bruckheimer and director Gore Verbinski, the filmmaking team behind the blockbuster “Pirates of the Caribbean” franchise, comes Disney/Jerry Bruckheimer Films’ “The Lone Ranger,” a thrilling adventure infused with action and humor, in which the famed masked hero is brought to life through new eyes.Native American spirit warrior Tonto (Johnny Depp) recounts the untold tales that transformed John Reid (Armie Hammer), a man of the law, into a legend of justice—taking the audience on a runaway train of epic surprises and humorous friction as the two unlikely heroes must learn to work together and fight against greed and corruption.’

The $200 million movie is due out August 2013.

After Earth Teaser – M. Night Shyamalan goes sci-fi with Jaden & Will Smith

December 11, 2012 By Tim Isaac 1 Comment


Will and Jaden Smith aren’t having a good time in this teaser, after they crash land on a planet where “everything has evolved to kill humans”, and oh my God, that planet if Earth! M. Night Shyamalan’s movie looks like it could be rather cool, with a bit of an Avatar vibe going on.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘A crash landing leaves teenager Kitai Raige (Jaden Smith) and his legendary father Cypher (Will Smith) stranded on Earth, 1,000 years after cataclysmic events forced humanity’s escape. With Cypher critically injured, Kitai must embark on a perilous journey to signal for help, facing uncharted terrain, evolved animal species that now rule the planet, and an unstoppable alien creature that escaped during the crash. Father and son must learn to work together and trust one another if they want any chance of returning home.’

It’s due for release June 7th, 2013.

Matt Damon Says He Approached Jonathan Nolan About A New Bourne

December 11, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Although The Bourne Legacy might have caused a few complications for Matt Damon to return as Jason Bourne, it appears that both he and director Paul Greengrass are still interested in returning, at least in principle (they come as a package, as Damon has said he won’t make another without the director).

Now Damon has been talking to Deadline about a possible return to the series and says that he approached Jonathan Nolan about it. Jonathan has worked closely with his brother Chris on the likes of Memento, The Prestige and The Dark Knight movie, and also created TV’s Person Of Interest.

Damon says, “Just a couple things, really. Paul Greengrass has to want to do it, and secondly and equally important, it comes down to Paul and I knowing what the hell we want to do. We just don’t have a story, and we haven’t had one. I quietly went to Jonah Nolan, because he and his brother Chris did such a brilliant job on Batman and that whole mythology. I just said, can you put your brain on this? I can’t figure it out. And he took a run at it and he couldn’t crack it either. Paul and I have been talking about it for years. And we can’t quite see what the movie would be. If we could get line of sight on that…”

That doesn’t sound too hopeful, as it seem even Nolan couldn’t come up with something Damon and Greengrass thought worked. However the actor adds, “Neither of us is against it [returning to the Bourne franchise]. I would love to do another one. I love that character. To me, the reason to make that movie is because people want to see it. Paul and I have said that to each other. We don’t take for granted the fact that we’ve built an audience for Bourne, that’s a real privilege. But our part of that bargain is that the movie is good and belongs with the other three. Until we can deliver that, we just can’t make it.”

Universal is still very keen to bring Damon back, especially after Legacy did okay but made less money than any of Matt’s Bourne outings. It still one of their most important franchises though. However it seem getting him to return is going to be tough without the perfect story.

Director Burr Steers Plans To Breed In A New Horror Movie

December 11, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

In the last few years director Burr Steers has been in relatively warm and fuzzy territory with the likes of 17 Again and Charlie St. Cloud, but now he’s going in a slightly different direction with Breed, a movie based on a horror novel by Chase Novak (who’s also known as Scott Spencer).

Summit Entertainment has picked up the rights to the book, for Steers to write and direct, according to THR. The plot follows the a couple who take part in an experimental fertility treatment that turns them into bloodthirsty savages, leading them on a desperate quest to find a cure.

Spencer has penned 11 novels, although he’s best known for Endless Love, which has sold over two million copies and garnered a nomination for the National Book Award.

It isn’t known as this stage if Steers will try to bring Zac Efron on-board, although considering he’s Zac’s starred in the director’s last two movies it’s a distinct possibility.

Does New Star Trek Image Reveals Benedict Cumberbatch’s Character?

December 11, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment


There’s been a lot of speculation about who Benedict Cumberbatch would be playing in Star Trek Into Darkness, with many suggesting he’ll be a classic Trek villain. Director JJ Abrams meanwhile seems to have been having a lot of fun not telling us. However now the new image above has arrived, which gives us a name for the character in its caption.

So who is it? Well, the caption simply says, ‘(Left to right) Zachary Quinto is Spock, Benedict Cumberbatch is John Harrison and Chris Pine is Kirk in STAR TREK INTO DARKNESS from Paramount Pictures and Skydance Productions.’

So who is John Harrison? Well, the recently official synopsis describes him as a ‘one man weapon of mass destruction’, but there are still those who believe John Harrison is either a ruse or pseudonym, and that this baddie is actually the legendary Khan. Knowing Abrams, he’s not going to say anything about this until after the film is release, but there is a fair amount of evidence that Khan will be involved, although nothing definitive.

The film hits cinemas May 17th 2013. Here’s the synopsis again in case you missed it, ‘When the crew of the Enterprise is called back home, they find an unstoppable force of terror from within their own organization has detonated the fleet and everything it stands for, leaving our world in a state of crisis. With a personal score to settle, Captain Kirk leads a manhunt to a war-zone world to capture a one man weapon of mass destruction. As our heroes are propelled into an epic chess game of life and death, love will be challenged, friendships will be torn apart, and sacrifices must be made for the only family Kirk has left: his crew.’

Salt 2 Gets Gets Writer Becky Johnston

December 11, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

The sequel to 2010’s Salt has been moving forward very slowly, but now it’s got a bit more forward momentum as Becky Johnston (The Prince of Tides, Seven Years In Tibet) has been hired to write the screenplay, according to THR.

Johnston takes over from Kurt Wimmer, the writer of the first film, who came onboard to pen the follow-up not long after the first film was released. However, actress Angelina Jolie apparently wasn’t pleased with the direction of that script, which is what’s led to Becky Johnston coming on board. There’s no details on what direction this new screenplay might be taking.

Salt starred Angelina Jolie as Evelyn Salt, a CIA spy who is accused of being a Russian double-agent. Original director Phillip Noyce has already said he isn’t interested in makign a sequel, but no replacement has been announced yet.

Glenn Close & Nick Nolte Up For The Musical Always On My Mind

December 11, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

We don’t see as much of Glenn Close as we should, perhaps because she doesn’t play the sort of wife and mother roles many actresses her age get shoved into, instead hanging on for parts that are a bit more interesting. Now Variety reports that Close and Nick Nolte have signed up to star in the music-driven drama Always On My Mind for writer-director Chris D’Arienzo.

The movie is about an aging rock star (Nick Nolte) who passes away after his battle with Alzheimer’s Disease. Glenn Close is set to play his wife, who’s desperately trying to pick up the pieces in the aftermath of his death. It’s not Close’s first brush with musicals, as she found much acclaim playing the lead on stage in Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Sunset Boulevard.

Chris D’Arienzo meanwhile is the man behind the original Broadway version of Rock of Ages, which was nominated for five Tony Awards during its first year on Broadway. The musical was recently adapted for the screen by Adam Shankman. D’Arienzo does have film experience though, most recently writing and directing the comedy Barry Munday, starring Patrick Wilson and Judy Greer.

Martin Sheen To Return For Amazing Spider-Man 2

December 11, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

We already knew that Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone would be back for The Amazing Spider-Man 2, but now we know that at least one more star from the first film will be returning for the sequel, with Martin Sheen once again playing Uncle Ben.

The actor told the RTE’s Irish talk show The Late Late Show last week that, “Well they called me back, I don’t know what the part’s going to be but I’m going to be Uncle Ben once again in Spider-Man next year. We shoot in February.”

You may be wondering exactly how he will return as [small SPOILER ALERT] Uncle Ben died in The Amazing Spider-Man. That means that Sheen will most likely return for a few flashback scenes, quite possibly taking the story of Peter Parker’s parents further, which was toned down in the first movie. [END SPOILERS]

The Amazing Spider-Man 2 is set for release May 2nd, 2014 and stars Andrew Garfield, Emma Stone, Dane DeHaan, Shailene Woodley, Jamie Foxx, Martin Sheen.
