There’s been some pretty good buzz about Logan, and from what we’ve seen it’s like nothing we’ve seen from the X-Men universe before, which is underlined by this Super Bowl spot. It certainly shows that this is a far cry from Days Of Future Past, Apocalypse, or even The Wolverine. But it does look like it might be good.
Here’s the short synopsis: ‘In the near future, a weary Logan cares for an ailing Professor X in a hide out on the Mexican border. But Logan’s attempts to hide from the world and his legacy are up-ended when a young mutant arrives, being pursued by dark forces.’
What that doesn’t quite get across is the rather bleak, western feel. The film is out March 1st. You can watch the Super Bowl spot and a new clip below. [Read more…]
I don’t know why we get boring Fast & Furious names in the UK, but sadly we’re just getting Fast & Furious 8, while in the US it’ll be the more interesting The Fate Of The Furious. The give us a new taste, as Super Bowl spot has been released.
You wouldn’t think those people who can’t wait for the release of Fifty Shades Darker would be the same ones hoping to watch John Wick: Chapter 2, but the action movie decided to have a bit of fun with them with its Super Bowl spot. The short ad initially looks like it will be for Fifty Shades, before revealing itself to be something else.
There were quite a few movies that ponied up the cash for a 30 second spot during the Super Bowl. They might be expensive, with with over 100 million Americans watching, it can be worth it. One of the films that featured during the game break was The Cure For Wellness.
Disney hasn’t hyped the return of Pirates of the Caribbean with Salazar’s Revenge (Dead Men Tell No Tales in the US) as much as we might have expected. However, they did give the movie a Super Bowl spot, with an extended version released online, which you can take a look at below.
A Little Lust is, for many people, a promising title. And indeed the movie has been pretty well-received at film festivals – although not purely because of the lust. The movie is due out on DVD and VoD in the UK on March 13th, so ahead of that, it’s worth taking a look at the trailer.
With the likes of Laurence Anyways, I Killed My Mother and Tom At The Farm, young queer director Xavier Dolan has become a favourite of film festivals and cineastes, although his movies have yet to break too far beyond that world. However, he appears to be making a few nods towards his film’s commercial prospects with It’s Only the End of the World, which for the first time in one of his movies has internationally recognised stars with Marion Cotillard, Gaspad Ulliel, Lea Seydoux and Vincent Cassel.
Please Like Me has become one of those shows that’s beloved of everyone who’s seen it – but unfortunately that’s far fewer people than it ought to be. While it airs on normal TV in its native Australia, in the US it was hidden on Pivot, and when that went offline, it switched across to Hulu for its fourth season. In the UK it’s only been available through Amazon Prime Video, and even then it took it three years to get there and comparatively few have heard of it.
With the success of Moonlight, you could be forgiven for thinking it’s been an okay year for LGBT movies. However, it’s the first time in several years that only one movie with significant LGBT content has been nominated at the Oscars. That’s underlined by the fact that when GLAAD (Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation) released the nominees for their annual awards earlier this week, only two movie were nominated for ‘Outstanding Film – Wide Release’ -(Moonlight and Star Trek Beyond).
Michael Bay said he was only directing three Transformers films, but then he agreed to make a fourth. That though, he said, would definitely be the last, before he signed on to help a fifth one. However, this time he seems to really mean it, as alongside The Last Knight’s Super Bowl spot, Bay has released a statement underlining that this will be his final time as director (although he does leave the door open).
