New Pic From A Good Day To Die Hard Hits

October 4, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Die Hard is becoming a bit more of a family affair with the fifth installment, A Good Day To Die Hard. While we’ve seen John McLane’s ex-wife and kids before, they’ve never been fully involved in fighting the bad guys, but now his estranged son Jack (Jai Courtney) is taking on his father’s mantle.

The film sees father and son having to team up in Moscow to stop a nefarious Russian leader. Along with the image, EW has come comments from Jai Courtney about the movie. Talking about the father/son dynamic, he says, “The relationship isn’t always functional. These are two guys who have been estranged for some time. John likes to wing it, see what happens. Jack’s more of a strategist.”

While talking about the Moscow setting, he says, “That’s the thing about the Die Hard franchise, John’s always a fish out of water. What could be further out of water for him than Russia?”

The film will be out February 13th 2013.

October 4, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Although there have been quite a few 3D conversions in the last few years, they’ve nearly all been of fairly modern movies. However now Warner Bros. is planning to celebrate its 90th anniversary next year (it was established April 4th, 1923) by bringing 1939’s The Wizard Of Oz to cinemas and Blu-ray with a third dimension added.

The film is currently being restored and will be released on Blu-ray 3D in either September or October of next year, with a cinema release mooted for shortly before that. The studio also announced a number of massive Blu-ray and DVD collections to celebrate their diverse catalogue.

Warner Bros. boasts the largest film library in the world – 6,800 feature films. The library includes 22 Academy Award-winning Best Pictures (the most in Oscar history), and leading franchises such as Harry Potter, Batman, The Lord of the Rings, The Matrix and Superman.

Although the announcements only currently confirm US releases, hopefully they’ll all come to the UK too.

New to Blu-ray titles will inclide The Jazz Singer, all three James Dean films (East of Eden, Rebel Without a Cause, Giant), Cabaret and Academy Award Best Picture Winners Grand Hotel (1932), Mrs. Miniver (1943), and Driving Miss Daisy (1990). There’ll also be The Best of Warner Bros. 100 Film DVD Collection, which includes all 22 of Warner Bros. library’s Best Picture Winners and two new documentaries, on 55 discs presented in book style premium packaging. The Best of Warner Bros. 50 Film Blu-ray Collection includes 50 movies and the two new documentaries on 52 discs. It will introduce several new-to-Blu-ray film titles, including Grand Hotel, Mrs. Miniver, and Driving Miss Daisy.

There will also be various other collection, including a Superman box set encompassing both the films and TV series Warner has made, and a big box featuring most of Clint Eastwood’s directorial output. (Source: THR)

Meryl Streep Heads Into the Woods For Rob Marshall’s Sondheim Adaptation

October 4, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Last time Rob Marshall adaptated a lesser-known but still much admired musical, Nine, it didn’t turn out too well, but nevertheless he’s keen to get a film version of Stephen Sondheim’s Into The Woods on the screen. Broadway World reports he may have some heavyweight help in the form of Meryl Streep, as she is in talks to join the movie.

Into The Woods weaves multiple fairy-tales together including Little Red Riding Hood, Cinderella, Jack and the Beanstalk and Rapunzel. The story centres on a evil witch who curses the main character, Baker, and his wife. The two have to try and reverse the curse, which prevents them from bearing children. It isn’t known exactly who Streep might play.

Warner Bros and Disney recently hosted a screenplay reading for the film, which included Nina Arianda as The Baker’s Wife, Christine Baranski as the Stepmother, Tammy Blanchard as Florinda, Victoria Clark as Cinderella’s Mother/Giant, James Corden as the Baker, David Garrison as the Narrator, Ivan Hernandez as the Wolf, Megan Hilty as Lucinda, Cheyenne Jackson as Rapunzel’s Prince, Allison Janney as Jack’s Mother, Anna Kendrick as Cinderella, Michael McGrath as the Steward/Baker’s Father, Donna Murphy as the Witch, Laura Osnes as Rapunzel, Taylor Trensch as Jack, Casey Whyland as Little Red Riding Hood and Patrick Wilson as Cinderella’s Prince. It isn’t known if any of those might make it to the movie.

Author James Lapine wrote the original book and is re-writing the screenplay, with Stephen Sondheim adding songs as they go along. It isn’t clear when the movie might shoot.

Gael Garcia Bernal Getting Showily Effeminate For The Dallas Buyers Club

October 4, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Matthew McConaughey has been looking scarily skinny for the past few months in preparation for playing AIDS patient Ron Woodroff in The Dallas Buyers Club. Now he’s got some more company as THR reports that Gael García Bernal is negotiating to appear in Jean-Marc Vallée’s (The Young Victoria) movie.

The drama is based on the true story of Ron Woodroff, an AIDS patient who before the advent of modern treatments, began smuggling drugs into the US that had shown great promise in helping people with HIV/AIDS. The Texas electrician then clashed with the Food and Drug Administration, which wanted to keep the drugs out of the country until they’d been fully licensed – even though that meant some people would die in the meantime. While Woodroff was straight, Gael García Bernal will play a ‘showy role’ as an effeminate member of the Dallas Buyers Club.

Shooting will start this November in New Orleans.

XPOSED International Queer Film Festival Berlin Makes A Call For Entries

October 3, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

It takes a long time to organise a decent programme for a film festival and so while the 8th XPOSED International Queer Film Festival in Berlin isn’t due to run until May 30th-June 1st 2013 (coinciding with Berlin’s Pride month), they’ve just issued their call for entries.

Every year XPOSED picks a country to focus on and this year it’s Austria. As a result they’re looking for queer-themed films from Germany’s neighbour for their Austrian focused section. However that’s not all the programmers are hunting for, as they also want a great selection of Queer Short Films from Germany for their Local Shorts Program and Queer Short Films from the rest of the globe for the International Program! There is no entry fee and all films will be eligible for the annual Lolly Award.

If you’re a queer filmmaker (or a maker of queer films), you’ve got a couple of months to get your entry ready, as the deadline for entries is December 21st, 2012. If you have something you want to enter, need more info or are just interested in the XPOSED International Queer Film Festival itself, head over to the event’s website.

The First Time Trailer – Trying to lose your virginity and fall in love

October 3, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment


Ever since its Sundance debut, Jon Kasdan’s The First Time has been getting praise as a particularly fun and charming example of the well-worn teen movie subgenre of people trying to get laid for the first time. The movie hits US cinemas on October 19th, but no UK date is currently set. In the film, Dave (Teen Wolf’s Dylan O’Brien) is a high school senior who spends most of his time pining away over a girl he can’t have. Aubrey (Secret Circle’s Britt Robertson), a junior with artistic aspirations, has a hot boyfriend who doesn’t quite understand her or seem to care. Dave and Aubrey meet one night at a party. A casual conversation sparks an instant connection, and, over the course of a weekend, things turn magical, romantic, complicated and funny as Aubrey and Dave discover what it’s like to fall in love for the first time.

The Lone Ranger Trailer & Poster

October 3, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment


The first trailer for The Lone Ranger has shown up online, but unfortunately at the moment the embed we have of it isn’t that great (we’ll hopefully be able to remedy that soon). The trailer premiered on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, although the embed comes from CBM. It’s interesting that the trailer plays up the action and intrigue, rather than the humour and wild west setting. Expect to see a lot more in the run up to the July 2013 release of the movie.

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.’

Take a look at the new poster below.

Jean Dujardin May Be One Of Clooney’s Monuments Men

October 3, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

A few weeks ago it was revealed George Clooney is set to direct The Monuments Men, and now it seems he’s looking to cast the movie, as TheWrap reveals he’s eyeing Best Actor Oscar winner Jean Dujardin for a supporting role in the movie.

the film will be based on Robert M. Edsel’s non-fiction book, The Monuments Men: Allied Heroes, Nazi Thieves, and the Greatest Treasure Hunt in History. Clooney will write, direct and also star as U.S. Army officer George Stout, who rediscovered tens of thousands of stolen artworks. The book tells the story of the US government’s efforts to retrieve artwork stolen by the Nazis and the art experts whose skills were put to use in the campaign. The title comes from the name given to the American and British art historians and museum curators who helped the military track down the stolen pieces.

It is known which part Dujardin is being sought for, but Cate Blanchett is reportedly being courted for the role of art historian/French Resistance member Rose Valland, while Paul Giamatti may play New York City ballet co-founder Lincoln Kirstein. The film is currently set to shoot during the spring of 2013, so hopefully Clooney will be able to firm up the casting before then.

Cumberbatch & Kinnaman May Take On WikiLeaks Movie

October 3, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

There have been a couple of Wikileaks movie floating around Hollywood and it appears one of them may now be moving forward, as Deadline reports the film about Julian Assange being developed by Dreamworks, with Benedict Cumberbatch and Joel Kinnaman talked about to star.

Bill Condon is attached to direct the movie, with Cumberbatch being eyed to play the site’s founder Julian Assange, who has gathered many fans and a lot of enemies by releasing a slew of embarrassing classified documents. Kinnaman would play Julian’s former right hand man, Daniel Domscheit-Berg.

The film will be based on two biographies, WikiLeaks: Inside Julian Assange’s War On Secrecy, by David Leigh and Luke Harding, and Inside WikiLeaks: My Time With Julian Assange At The World’s Most Dangerous Website, written by Domscheit-Berg, with Josh Singer assigned to turn them into a script. It’s unclear whether the movie will be pro or anti Assange, or somewhere inbetween.

It’s believed the movie has taken longer that originally hoped to develop, due to the ever changing dynamic of Assange’s story. Julian is currently holed up in the Ecuadorian Embassy in London, to avoid extradition to Sweden on rape charges.

As yet, it doesn’t appear serious talks have been held with either Cumberbatch or Kinnaman, but they’re currently at the top of the list.

October 3, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

After a slightly tedious few days where Summit Entertainment has been releasing the final Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 2 poster bit-by-bit, the whole thing has now been unveiled, which you can see above.

The movie concludes the saga, with Bella, Edward and Jacob having to protect the newly born (but fast-growing) Renesmee from the Volturi. They gather together as many sympethetic vamps and werewolves to their cause, against the mounting threat. The movie hits cinema on November 16th, 2012.
