Black Panther Teaser Trailer – Take a look at Marvel’s latest adventure

June 10, 2017 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

We first met Chadwick Boseman’s T’Challa / Black Panther in Captain America: Civil War. He’ll be back with his own standalone adventure early next year. Marvel has now released the first teaser trailer for the movie, which suggests he’s going to fit in well with their filmic universe as it introduces us to the mysterious world of Wakanda.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Marvel Studios’ “Black Panther” follows T’Challa who, after the death of his father, the King of Wakanda, returns home to the isolated, technologically advanced African nation to succeed to the throne and take his rightful place as king. But when a powerful old enemy reappears, T’Challa’s mettle as king—and Black Panther—is tested when he is drawn into a formidable conflict that puts the fate of Wakanda and the entire world at risk. Faced with treachery and danger, the young king must rally his allies and release the full power of Black Panther to defeat his foes and secure the safety of his people and their way of life.’

The movie will be in cinemas February 2018. Take a look at the trailer below. [Read more…]

New Cars 3 Trailer – Lightning McQueen isn’t the car he once was

June 10, 2017 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Paul Newman died back in 2008, but he recorded enough unused dialogue for Cars that his voice won’t just feature in Cars 3, he’s also around for this rather eerie trailer. It’s a promo that suggests this film will go back to the rather nostalgic feel of the first movie, rather than the rather bizarre spy antics of its sequel.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Blindsided by a new generation of blazing-fast racers, the legendary Lightning McQueen (voice of Owen Wilson) is suddenly pushed out of the sport he loves. To get back in the game, he will need the help of an eager young race technician, Cruz Ramirez, with her own plan to win, plus inspiration from the late Fabulous Hudson Hornet and a few unexpected turns. Proving that #95 isn’t through yet will test the heart of a champion on Piston Cup Racing’s biggest stage!’

The movie will be in UK cinemas on July 14th, Take a look at the new trailer below. [Read more…]

New Coco Trailer – Pixar’s new movie is taking us into the Land of the Dead!

June 10, 2017 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Pixar has taken us to some unexpected places over the years. Now that includes a trip to the Land of the Dead, in Coco. While The Book Of Life played with similar themes, this appears to be a uniquely Pixar take on things.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Despite his family’s baffling generations-old ban on music, Miguel (voice of newcomer Anthony Gonzalez) dreams of becoming an accomplished musician like his idol, Ernesto de la Cruz (voice of Benjamin Bratt). Desperate to prove his talent, Miguel finds himself in the stunning and colorful Land of the Dead following a mysterious chain of events. Along the way, he meets charming trickster Hector (voice of Gael García Bernal), and together, they set off on an extraordinary journey to unlock the real story behind Miguel’s family history. Directed by Lee Unkrich (“Toy Story 3”), co-directed by Adrian Molina (story artist “Monsters University”) and produced by Darla K. Anderson (“Toy Story 3”), Disney•Pixar’s “Coco” opens in UK cinemas on 1st December, 2017′

Mary Poppins Returns (In The Form Of Emily Blunt) In Some New Pics From The Sequel

June 7, 2017 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

There are as many people who seem to be excited about a new Mary Poppins movie as there are people who think the whole thing is sacrilege. Indeed, it’s probably the movie in Disney’s new age of new takes on their classics that’s caused the most comment.

A new set of pics from the movie have now arrived, via EW, which suggest that Rob Marshall’s new Poppins will be both the same and different to the legendary 1964 movie. And part of that difference is that the setting has jumped forawrd a few decades.

EW also has the best description yet of what the movie is going to be about, saying, ‘Mary Poppins Returns, directed by Rob Marshall (Into the Woods), picks up 25 years after the events of the first film, fast-forwarding to London’s mid-1930s economic slump, the actual time period of Travers’ books. Number 17 Cherry Tree Lane has become the warm, loving home that banker and artist Michael Banks (Ben Whishaw) shares with his wife and three children. But after the sudden death of Michael’s wife, the Banks family is shattered — even enthusiastic aunt Jane (Emily Mortimer), now a fervent union organizer, and long-time housemaid Ellen (Julie Walters) can’t help lift spirits — and so in time, the once-blossoming home is on the verge of foreclosure.

Cue the arrival of prim and peculiar Mary Poppins (Emily Blunt), who leads Michael’s wayward children (and Jane and Michael themselves) on a series of unbelievable adventures — to the top of Big Ben, the bottom of the ocean, into magical encounters with animated dancing penguins and upside-down cousins (hey, Meryl Streep!). If anyone can help this family find the light they’ve lost, it’s Mary Poppins.’

Mary Poppins Returns will once more be a musical, with new tunes from Marc Shaiman and Scott Wittman (Hairspray, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory the Musical). It’ll be in cinemas in December 2018.

Take a look at the new pics below. [Read more…]

Spidarlings Trailer – The LGBT punk rock musical is coming to Troma soon!

June 6, 2017 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

There aren’t many British, queer punk musicals, and even fewer that have tickled the fancy of the legendary b-movie distributor, Troma. However, the company has picked up the unusual and intriguing Spidarlings for release via Troma Now.

The film is ‘the love story of a young lesbian couple, Eden & Matilda, which deals with subjects such as the British Welfare system and gender fluidity.’ However, when you watch the trailer, you’ll also see that it deals with plenty of punk strangeness, tarantulas, an air of experiment camp and an unexpected green tentacle.

Spidarlings features music and songs by Jeff Kristian, who’s best known e as Big Brother’s Singing Drag Queen on Big Brother’s Bit on the Side. Salem Kapsaski directs the movie, which premieres on Troma Now on July 1st. Take a look at the trailer below. [Read more…]

Tom Of Finland UK Trailer – The biopic of the famed gay erotic artist arrives soon

June 6, 2017 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

After a couple of years where duelling biopics of Tom Of Finland were vying to get made, one is finally in the can and getting strong reviews on the festival circuit. Ahead of its August UK cinema release, a new trailer for the film has arrived. the first full for the movie about the artist, known for his images of musclebound and, err, well-endowed men in homoerotic poses, has arrived.

Born Touko Laaksonen, Tom Of Finland’s stylised images of hunky men with massive bulges, often wearing leather and/or uniforms, became iconic in the gay community. His popularity was initially helped by the fact that while many countries in the 1950s and 1960s saw photographs of naked and near-naked men as pornography, drawn pictures were classed as art and so Tom Of Finland’s images became extremely popular.

Despite the homophobic era his art came from, his stature has grown over the years to the point where the likes of the Museum of Modern Art (MOMA) and Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) hold his images. The movie follow Laaksonen’s story, after he returns from the war to discover civilian life for a gay man is a battlefield in its own right. He finds refuge in his art.

Finnish and Swedish director Dome Karukoski directs the movie from a script by Aleksi Bardy. Take a look at the new trailer below. The film arrives in UK cinemas on August 11th. [Read more…]

Sarah Paulson, Matthew Rhys & More Join Steven Spielberg’s Pentagon Papers Film

June 6, 2017 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Back in March news emerged not just that Steven Spielberg was working on a film about the Pentagon Papers, but that he’d already got Meryl Streep and Tom Hanks onboard to star. Now the director has been filling out the acting ensemble, as Variety reports that Sarah Paulson, Bob Odenkirk, Matthew Rhys, Bradley Whitford, Carrie Coon, Jesse Plemons, David Cross, Alison Brie, Bruce Greenwood, Tracy Letts, Michael Stuhlbarg, and Zach Woods have all signed onto the movie. There’s no news on the exact roles they’ll play.

The movie will be based on Liz Hannah’s spec script, which recently landed one of the top spots on the Black List of the best unproduced screenplays. It’s ‘a drama about the Washington Post’s role in exposing the Pentagon Papers in 1971, and how the Post’s editor Ben Bradlee and publisher Kay Graham challenged the federal government over their right to publish them.’

The Pentagon Papers were a Top Secret report commissioned to look at what was happening in the Vietnam War. It spoke of a dramatic escalation that was being hidden from the public, and much of its information seemed to support the growing idea that the war was unwinnable. After it was leaked to the Washington Post, the newspaper ended up in a legal battle with the government over whether they could publish more of what they’d learned from the report.

At a time when the current US President is at war with the media and angry about leaks, this look at freedom of the press, the First Amendment and government lies could end up being extremely timely. To ensure the film can properly address current events, the film is on an accelerated production schedule so that it can get an Oscar qualifying run at the end of the year, before getting a wider release in early 2018.

Netflix To Release Documentary On LGBT Activist & Stonewall Legend Marsha P Johnson

June 4, 2017 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Netflix is using its gargantuan programming budget ($6 billion in the last year) to produce and distribute a wide array films and TV series. One of their latest purchases is the rights to the documentary, The Death and Life of Marsha P. Johnson, from How To Survive A Plague director, David France, according to Variety.

Through the prism of her death, the film looks at Johnson’s life as a trans individual (Marsha’s own gender identity differed at different times in her life, as did her preferred pronoun use), who was one of the most best known ‘street queens’ in New York in the 60s, 70s and 80s, including being an integral part of the Stonewall riots. She also teamed with Sylvia Rivera to co-found the Street Transvestite Action Revolutionaries (STAR), becoming an increasingly prominent activist for various causes, mostly linked to gay liberation, trans rights and HIV/AIDS activism.

However, ‘Marsha P. Johnson was found floating in the Hudson River in 1992 and the NYDP initially ruled Johnson’s death as a suicide. The film follows crime-victim advocate Victoria Cruz’s efforts to reexamine what happened [many believe Johnson was murdered] and measure the challenges that still face the community.’

France comments, “Almost single-handedly, Marsha P. Johnson and her best friend Sylvia Rivera touched off a revolution in the way we talk about gender today. Their names should be household words. But Marsha’s life was cut tragically short and Sylvia died shortly thereafter, the victim of a broken heart. Getting to know their story through the investigation undertaken by Victoria Cruz, a seminal activist in her own right, has been one of the great honors of my career. Now, with Netflix as our distribution partner, I am confident the legacy of these tremendous women will never be forgotten.”

Netflix plan to release the movie on the streaming platform worldwide later this year, although no date has currently been announced. The film premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival, and will also been screened this month’s LA’s Outfest.
