Lady Gaga In Talks For Bradley Cooper’s A Star Is Born Remake

June 18, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

lady-gagaThe idea of once more remaking A Star Is Born (it’ll be the third or fourth remake, depending on how you count) has been around a long time, and has been through a long list of actors and directors. It’s still alive, with Bradley Cooper planning to both helm and star in the movie.

What he hasn’t had is a female lead. Beyonce was attached for a long time, but she’s since dropped out. THR reports Cooper may have found another top chanteuse to replace her, as Lady Gaga is rerportedly in talks to join the movie.

A Star Is Born follows  a young woman with dreams of a singing career who meets a famous actor. However as her career rises, his self-destructs thanks to his alcoholism. It’s previously been filmed in 1937 with Janet Gaynor and Fredric March (which itself was technically a remake), 1954 with Judy Garland and James Mason starring, and 1976 with Barbra Streisand and Kris Kristofferson.

The cast for Spider-Man: Homecoming is coming together quickly now, with Tom Holland being joined by the likes of Michael Keaton, Donald Glover, Marisa Tomei, Zendaya, Kenneth Choi, Michael Barbieri, Tony Revolori, and Laura Harrier over the last few months. Robert Downey Jr. is also set to reprise his Iron Man role. Now a couple more have joined the throng, with Martin Starr & Logan Marshall-Green signing up.

It’s not known exactly who they will play, but THR suggests Prometheus’ Marshall Green will be a villain, alongside Keaton’s main bad guy. Starr’s role is a complete mystery.

Indeed, Sony has been keeping most details about the plot close to it’s chest, as we don’t even know who the main villain will be, although it’s rumoured Keaton will be Vulture. Jon Watts is directing the movie, which starts shooting soon for released July 2017.

Zac Efron In Talks For P.T. Barnum Biopic The Greatest Showman On Earth

June 18, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

bad-neighbours-2-zac-efron-shirtlessFor the past couple of years Zac Efron has mainly been trapped in grossout comedy and rom-com land, but now he’s in talks for something a little different, the long gestating P.T. Barnum Biopic The Greatest Showman On Earth, according to Variety. Hugh Jackman is still attached to play the lead role.

The Greatest Showman On Earth is envisioned as a musical about the life of Barnum, who was known for his elaborate hoaxes before creating the three-ring circus. The story will also look at his pining for Swedish opera singer Jenny Lind. It’s not clear who Efron would play.

Michael Gracey is attached to direct. The project has been in the works for over five years, but apparently Fox has now made is a priority, partly because they know what a passion project it is for Hackman.

Pot Luck: Episode 2 – New Zealand’s first lesbian-themed web series is back!

June 15, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

pot-luck-slideLast December we posted the first episode of New Zealand’s first lesbian-themed web series, Pot Luck, which at the time was crowdfunding to get more episodes made. Now a second episode has arrived, so we can catch up with what’s going on with the antipodean girls.

The makers says that, ‘In the tradition of Transparent and Orange Is The New Black, we’re telling the New Zealand story of diversity in an entertaining package that will appeal to a wide audience! One of our local broadcasters, TVNZ on Demand (1million+ subscribers) will be screening it on their online platform, and we’re also negotiating with a number of international platforms (mainstream and LBGTQ) who are very interested, just based on watching the first episode.’

The very brief synopsis for Episode 2 simply says, ‘Debs, Beth and Mel have made a pact… but will everyone be able to keep up their side of the bargain?’ If you need to catch up with Episode 1, click here, or otherwise take a look a the second instalment below. [Read more…]

Jack Reacher: Never Go Back Teaser – Tom Cruise isn’t taking any crap once more

June 15, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

jack-reacher-never-go-back-slideWhile many disliked the idea of Tom Cruise being cast as Lee Child’s anti-hero, Jack Reacher, the movie itself turned out to be surprisingly good. It was successful enough that a sequel is on its way, which has just released its first teaser.

The film is based on Never Look Back, the latest of the Jack Reacher novels. It sees Jack return to his old military base in Virginia, where he is set to take the new female commanding officer out to dinner. However he discovers that she has been arrested, and Jack is also facing charges of assaulting a man and fathering a child. Reacher has no recollection of any of these things happening, which understandably starts him looking into what has been going on.

Cobie Smulders, Holt McCallany, Robert Knepper, Aldis Hodge. Take a look at the teaser from ET below. [Read more…]

Go-Go Boy Interrupted S2 Ep11 – Danny’s back in the club but it isn’t going well

June 14, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

go-go-boy-interrupted-s1-ep11This season of Go-Go Interrupted has already given us quite a few episodes, but it isn’t over yet. Danny finally has his job back at as a go-go boy, but things aren’t quite what he expected when he’s told he has to dance while dressed as a caterpillar.

Plus, the man who’s obsessively in love with him is there, as are his new friends, the mean gays. He’s also hoping the guy he’s majorly crushing on is going to turn up, but he’s unlikely to impress him in a caterpillar costume.

The show’s creator/star, Jimmy Fowlie, also made the statement, ‘This episode is dedicated to our LGBT family and allies in Orlando. I cannot stop thinking about you guys. That could have been any of us. But I am drawing strength from people in the community who refuse to let this scare them into hiding out. If anything this is a time to be more proud than ever. Feels like he said it best:

‘”The shooter targeted a nightclub where people came together to be with friends, to dance and to sing, and to live. The place where they were attacked is more than a nightclub—it is a place of solidarity and empowerment where people have come together to raise awareness, to speak their minds, and to advocate for their civil rights.” – President Obama’

Take a look at the new episode of Go-Go Boy Interrupted below. And if you need to catch up with earlier episodes of Go-Go Boy Interrupted, you can click here to find them. [Read more…]

Lead Character Of Doctor Who Spin-Off Class Will Be LGBT, Says Head Writer

June 14, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

class-doctor-who-slideThere’s a new Doctor Who spin-off in the works, called Class. Now a vast amount is known about the show, except that it’s set at Coal Hill Academy, with the sixth formers there having to deal with all manner of monsters and aliens, due to the fabric of space and time stretching thin.

We also now know that one of the leads will be LGBT, which has been confirmed on Twitter by the show’s head writer, Patrick Ness. The revelation led from his tribute to the victims of the Pulse shooting, with news saying, ‘Been asked if Class will have LGBT representation in it. Will a lead character with a boyfriend who he kisses & sleeps with & loves do? We were keeping that secret, but today that secret doesn’t seem very important. #lovewins There’s way more than one character on the show, of course; lots of stories to be told. WITH ALIENS & TERROR & EMOTIONS & STUFF!!!So I can’t wait for you to meet the characters of Class, all of em, all their sorrows & joys & goofiness & loves & losses. Roll on Autumn…’

A few hours later he added, ‘Kind of astounded that having a gay lead on Class has been such big news (EW, Radio Times, Express…). One day it won’t be, one day soon. BECAUSE IT’S NOT A BIG DEAL. One way to change the world is to act as if it’s already changed. That’s how I roll, that’s how Class rolls… (Except of course it is a big deal, I know; 15-year-old me never got to see himself; that won’t happen again, not on my watch)’.

As his tweets suggest, Ness is gay himself. Greg Austin, Fady Elsayed, Sophie Hopkins and Vivian Oparah star in Class, which will debut online on BBC3 in the UK this Autumn, and on BBC America in the US.

New Ben-Hur Trailer – The classic tale gets retold with Jack Huston & Toby Kebbell

June 14, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

ben-hur-slideI may be completely wrong, but I’m finding it difficult to believe this new take on the classic Ben-Hur is going to be a hit. Indeed, it’s difficult to see why they thought a new version was necessary or desired, or indeed the Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter’s Timur Bekmambetov was the man to helm it. Even so, it’s coming and a new trailer has now arrived.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘BEN-HUR is the epic story of Judah Ben-Hur (Jack Huston), a prince falsely accused of treason by his adopted brother Messala (Toby Kebbell), an officer in the Roman army. Stripped of his title, separated from his family and the woman he loves (Nazanin Boniadi), Judah is forced into slavery. After years at sea, Judah returns to his homeland to seek revenge, but finds redemption. Based on Lew Wallace’s timeless novel, Ben-Hur: A Tale of the Christ. Also starring Morgan Freeman and Rodrigo Santoro.’

At least Toby Kebbell has suggested the homoerotic undertones between Messala and Ben-Hur may make it across into this new version, which were present in the 1950s take. The film will be in cinemas in August. [Read more…]

Pete’s Dragon Trailer – A very different take on the tale of a boy and his beast

June 14, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

petes-dragon-slideThe first trailer for Disney’s new take on the part-animated family film Pete’s Dragon was keen to show us this was going to be a very different movie to the original, while also only teasing us about what the dragon would look like. Now a full trailer has arrived, which underlines this is a movie that only shares a title and vague concept with the original, although it does give us a much better look at the now very furry beast..

Here’s the synopsis: ‘A reimagining of Disney’s cherished family film, “Pete’s Dragon” is the adventure of an orphaned boy named Pete and his best friend Elliott, who just so happens to be a dragon. “Pete’s Dragon” stars Bryce Dallas Howard (“Jurassic World”), Oakes Fegley (“This is Where I Leave You”), Wes Bentley (“The Hunger Games”), Karl Urban (“Star Trek”), Oona Laurence (“Southpaw”) and Oscar® winner Robert Redford (“Captain America: The Winter Soldier”). The film, which is directed by David Lowery (“Ain’t Them Bodies Saints”), is written by Lowery & Toby Halbrooks based on a story by Seton I. Miller and S.S. Field and produced by Jim Whitaker, p.g.a. (“The Finest Hours,” “Friday Night Lights”), with Barrie M. Osborne (“The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring,” “The Great Gatsby”) serving as executive producer.

‘For years, old wood carver Mr. Meacham (Robert Redford) has delighted local children with his tales of the fierce dragon that resides deep in the woods of the Pacific Northwest. To his daughter, Grace (Bryce Dallas Howard), who works as a forest ranger, these stories are little more than tall tales…until she meets Pete (Oakes Fegley). Pete is a mysterious 10-year-old with no family and no home who claims to live in the woods with a giant, green dragon named Elliott. And from Pete’s descriptions, Elliott seems remarkably similar to the dragon from Mr. Meacham’s stories. With the help of Natalie (Oona Laurence), an 11-year-old girl whose father Jack (Wes Bentley) owns the local lumber mill, Grace sets out to determine where Pete came from, where he belongs, and the truth about this dragon. Disney’s “Pete’s Dragon” flies into UK Cinemas on August 12, 2016.’ [Read more…]
