Prometheus Plot Spoilers Revealed By Actress Kate Dickie?

January 19, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Ridley Scott has done a great job of keeping everything about Prometheus secret. The film has mainly played on whether it’s a prequel to Alien or not, with Scott saying it has Alien DNA, and the teaser trailer mirroring Ridley Scott’s 1970s horror. What we haven’t known is much about the plot, with the synopsis deliberately fudging things.

Now Game Of Thrones actress Kate Dickie may have let things slip (although nothing’s been confirmed so feel free to take it with a pinch of salt until something firmer arrives), so if you want to keep the surpise, stop reading now! SPOILERS from now on: In an interview with Scottish paper The Star (via AlienPrequelNews) Dickie said she plays Mudow, a crew member of the spaceship Prometheus responsible for waking the others out of their cryogenic sleep at the beginning of the movie, a scene pulled directly from both Alien and Aliens.

Soon after the crew wakes up, they “meet a terrifying host of vicious, skeletal alien monstrosities which chase the crew through the halls of their spaceship.” Dickie apparently only makes it through 28 minutes of the film before being “eaten” by one of these monsters, presumed to be the Space Jockeys. Mudow is set to serve as a fitness trainer, who gets the Prometheus crew in shape after so many months of cryo-sleep. “With their muscles wasted from five years without use, she helps them to get fit – only for them to fall victims to horrible creatures that begin stalking them for food.”

If all this is true, it’s almost disappointing, as you’d have hoped the space jockeys would be something more interesting than Predator-like killers, but perhaps there’s more to it than revealed here. Prometheus is out in June.

Great New Poster For Jason Statham’s Safe Arrives

January 19, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

A rather cool new poster has debuted (via Collider) for the upcoming Jason Statham action flick, Safe. The movie sees Statham as Luke Wright, a second rate cage fighter in the mixed martial arts circuit in New Jersey. When he blows a rigged fight, the Russian mafia make an example of him – murdering his wife and threatening to kill anyone he forms any kind of friendship or relationship with. Now homeless, destitute and completely isolated from society, Luke finds a shot at redemption when he meets and starts to protect Mei, a young prodigy with a perfect memory for numbers, who the triads have been using so there’s no paper trail on their dodgy dealings. The film hits cinemas in April.

P.J. Hogan To Direct Comic Adaptation Bone

January 19, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

For quite a long time there’s been talk of adapting the popular graphic novel series Bone, by Jeff Smith into a film, but it seemed the idea had bitten the dust, as there’s been no movement for a long time. However now it seems things are getting back on track, as THR reports Muriel’s Wedding director PJ Hogan has signed on to helm, with Patrick Sean Smith set to write the script.

The comics follow three cousins from the Bone family, who are small, bald, human-like creatures with big noses. The trio are run out of their hometown and find themselves in a mysterious valley where they are separated and hunted by other creatures. The Bones are taken in by a girl named Thorn and her grandmother, and they find out that the valley is threatened by an evil force called the Lord of the Locusts.

The comics first appeared between 1991 to 2004 and were rediscovered when Scholastic began putting out graphic novels that compiled the comics together. It’s certainly an ambitious fantasy comic to take on, and the project will likely direct the movie in Australia, the home the director and the producers (and also where generous tax breaks are available).

David Kajganich Set to Write Ben Affleck’s The Stand

January 19, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

You’ve got to have confidence to take on a mighty tome like The Stand, and it seems David Kajganich does, as Vulture reports he’s been hired to come up with the screenplay for Ben Affleck’s adaptation of Stephen King’s post-apocalyptic horror/fantasy novel.

The story starts when a government-run lab accidentally lets loose a deadly virus, resulting in most of the population of the world being wiped-out. Survivors begin having dreams about two figures: a mystical old woman, or a foreboding, scary man, representing good and evil. The tale tracks various people who stories begin to intersect.

Originally Ben Affleck was set to both write and direct the project, but it was decided to bring Kajganich in after and the producers saw the work he’d done of a script for the upcoming remake of another Stephen King classic, IT.

There’s no production schedule set for The Stand (and considering the difficulty the book has had getting to the screen, it could be a while yet).

Liv Tyler Takes On The Side Effect

January 19, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Director Ti West has got quite a reputation for himself in horror circles for the likes of The Innkeepers and The House Of The Devil, but he’s going slightly sci-fi for his next effort, The Side Effect. Now Deadline reports that Actress Liv Tyler has signed on to star in the movie.

The film centres on Tyler’s character, Catherine Rigby, who spends several months alone in space, to test a pharmaceutical company’s new drugs. When the woman somehow becomes pregnant, paranoia sets in as Catherine begins to think she may be stranded in space.

Here’s what Ti West had to say about bringing Liv Tyler on board, “Although it is still somewhat of a horror film, it is much more psychological than any of my previous efforts. It was essential that I find an actress who could portray a wide range of emotion and always earn the audience’s sympathy no matter what the situation. As soon as I sat down with Liv, it was obvious she was the one.”

It isn’t known when the film will shoot.

Richard Curtis Going Sci-fi With About Time

January 19, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

He scored big hits writing Four Weddings and Notting Hill, and has had some success as a director with Love Actually and The Boat That Rocked, in the process becoming one of the most sought after comedy filmmakers. However now RIchard Curtis is eyeing something a little bit different, with THR reporting that he hopes to direct About Time.

Curtis will helm from his own original screenplay, although little is known about the project, except that it is a low-budget time travel dramedy. Working Title’s Tim Bevan and Eric Fellner are behind the movie, which hopes to begin production as early as this summer.

Perhaps co-writing War Horse has given him a taste for things outside the world of rom-coms, and indeed it won’t his first brush with time-travel, as he wrote an episode of Doctor Who.

Jane Lynch Joins George Clooney In Dustin Lance Black’s Play, 8

January 18, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

A few weeks ago it was revealed George Clooney would take part in a staged reading of 8, Dustin Lance Black’s play about the court case surrounding Proposition 8 in the California. Now more cast members for the March 3rd at LA’s Wilshire Ebell Theatre.

Adding to the star power, according to the LA Times, are Jamie Lee Curtis, Modern Family’s Jesse Tyler Ferguson and Glee’s Matthew Morrison and Jane Lynch. The play has been performed in New York, but this will be its East Coast premiere, and as it’s taking place in LA, it can call on plenty of celebs. The play chronicles the historic federal court trial overturning Proposition 8, the ballot measure that denied gay and lesbian Californians the right to marry, and is based on the actual words of the trial transcripts, first-hand observations of the courtroom drama and interviews with the plaintiffs and their families. Also taking part in the reading are Matt Bomer, George Takei, Yeardley Smith, Campbell Brown, Rory O’Malley and Cleve Jones.

All proceeds from the event will go to American Foundation for Equal Rights, with the $2 million that’s expected to be raised being used to continue fighting the court case and on awareness raising events.

It’s also been revealed that 8 will be licensed to be performed in universities and schools for free, with 40 productions expected to take advantage of this during 2012. Milk and J. Edgar screenwriter Dustin Lance Black commented, “People need to witness what happened in the Proposition 8 trial, if for no other reason than to see inequality and discrimination unequivocally rejected in a court of law where truth and facts matter. I’ve built my career around exposing and uncovering ‘the real story,’ The goal of 8 is to show the world that marriage equality is a basic constitutional right and that those who would deny this basic freedom from loving, committed couples have only vitriol and baseless hyperbole to fall back on. The facts are on our side and truth always finds the light. We are doing all we can to help speed that process along.”

And while we’re talking about Dustin, the recently married writer has just found distribution for his directorial debut, Virginia. The movie stars Jennifer Connelly, Emma Roberts and Ed Harris and centers around Virginia, a mentally ill mother protected by her illegitimate son Emmett, whose father may be the local Mormon sheriff. Their small-town secrets are threatened when Emmett begins a romantic relationship with the sheriff’s daughter, while her father runs for public office. Entertainment One has picked up North American right to the movie and a release date is expected to be announced soon. No UK release is currently set.

Haley Joel Osment Is Playing Gay In Sassy Pants

January 18, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment


After The Sixth Sense, Haley Joel Osment had a brief time to shine with the likes of Pay It Forward and AI, but since then we haven’t heard much from him (other than a drink driving arrest a few years ago). He has been working fairly consistently in voice roles though, such as for Family Guy, The Jungle Book 2 and the Kingdom Hearts videogame series, and getting an education, but he certainly dropped out of the limelight.

However now the 23-year-old is back and playing gay in the indie movie Sassy Pants. The almost unrecognisable actor is playing Chip, the boy-toy boyfriend of the protagonist’s father. So if you ever fancied seeing Haley look rather camp and wearing Daisy Dukes (and if you did there’s something wrong with you, watch the trailer below.

Official Synopsis: Bethany Pruitt (Ashley Rickards) is valedictorian of her class – her one student homeschool class.  Stuck with younger brother SHAYNE (Martin Spanjers) under their perky but oppressive mother JUNE’s (Anna Gunn) thumb, Bethany’s only escape is a teen fashion ‘zine courtesy of her absentee gay dad.  She covets each edition, covertly restyling taboo fashions in her treasured scrapbook.

Bethany reluctantly succumbs to her mom’s post graduation mandate to get an accounting degree from an online university, but when she sneaks out with handsome neighbor HECTOR (Rene Rosado), Mom freaks out and retaliates by destroying her beloved scrapbook. Finally broken, Bethany catches the nearest Greyhound to her dad’s.

Life at dad DALE’s (Diedrich Bader) mobile home is no picnic either. Despite the close bond she forms with his fun, younger boyfriend, CHIP (Haley Joel Osmont), Dad’s self-loathing, alcoholic outbursts weigh heavy on Bethany.  She finds solace selling clothes at a cheap, trendy retail chain, Jail Bait, but her petty, cutthroat coworkers cause a new set of “real world” navigation problems.  When Bethany learns about Fashion Art Technology Institute, aka F.A.T.I., she sees a chance to break free once and for all and forge her own brighter future.  How she gets there will redefine her and her family and maybe even update her wardrobe.

Jeff Goldblum Set To Play A Gay Dad On Glee

January 18, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Since the early days of Glee, we’ve known that diva Rachel Berry (Lea Michele) has two gay dads, but unlike Kurt’s dad and Finn’s mom, we’ve never met either of her parents. There’s been plenty of speculation though as to who should play her dads if they were ever to show up in the series, with Glee creator Ryan Murphy even suggesting at one point we should never see them, as they couldn’t live up to expectations.

However now it appears we will indeed see at least one of them, as TNT reports that Jurassic Park and Independence Day star Jeff Goldblum has signed on to play one of Rachel’s pops, with Brian Stokes Mitchell playing the other. It will give Goldblum a chance to show off his singing skills, as he will apparently take part in a duet with Rachel in the episode, which’ll be screened around Valentine’s Day.

There had been rumours Elton John would play the part, but his touring schedule rules him out.

New American Pie: Reunion Trailer – The original cast is back

January 18, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Video: American Pie: Reunion trailer (MSN Exclusive)The Pie kids are back, although they’re not kids anymore! Now in their early 30s and (mostly) all settled down, they’re coming back for a high school reunion. In one long-overdue weekend, they will discover what has changed, who hasn’t and that time and distance can’t break the bonds of friendship. It was summer 1999 when four small-town Michigan boys began a quest to lose their virginity. In the years that have passed, Jim and Michelle married while Kevin and Vicky said goodbye. Oz and Heather grew apart, but Finch still longs for Stifler’s mom. Now these lifelong friends have come home as adults to reminisce about—and get inspired by—the hormonal teens who launched a comedy legend. The film’s due out April 6th.
