Does Disney’s Zootropolis Feature A Married Gay Couple?

May 11, 2016 By Tim Isaac 2 Comments

zootropolis-quad-slideThere’s been a bit of a movement online recently that in the sequel to Frozen, Disney should give Elsa a girlfriend, following many years os people pointing at that while animation has gotten slowly more diverse, Disney’s output has remained pretty heterosexual (although there was a brief hint in Frozen that sauna owner Oaken was gay). However, now a Reddit thread suggests that there’s decent evidence that the House Of Mouse may have included a married gay couple in the recently released Zootropolis (known as Zootopia in the US).

In the movie, the young rabbit hero, Judy Hopps, moves to a city full of animals in the hope of becoming the first bunny to become a police officer. In her new apartment, she has two noisy antelope neighbours called Bucky and Pronk. While the movie is far from explicit – and the characters could have just been roommates – there is one strong hint they are actually married.

While there has previously been suggestions that they are gay, there hasn’t been a huge amount of evidence, but a viewer spotted that in the credits they are listed as Bucky Oryx-Antlerson and Pronk Oryx-Antlerson. That could mean they are brothers, but the double-barelling of the surname is suggestive that they’ve actually a couple. It is all pretty subtle and far from the more open LGBT characters in the likes of Paranorman, but it is perhaps at least a small step in the right direction.

Nerve Trailer – Emma Roberts and Dave Franco get involved in a dangerous game

May 11, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

nerve-slideThere’s a lot of concern about what young people get up to online, and that seems to be something Catfish’s Ariel Schulman and Henry Joost’s Nerve, about an online game of truth or dare. However, as it’s a movie things soon get out of hand.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Industrious high school senior, Vee Delmonico [Emma Roberts], has had it with living life on the sidelines. When pressured by friends to join the popular online game Nerve, Vee decides to sign up for just one dare in what seems like harmless fun. But as she finds herself caught up in the thrill of the adrenaline-fueled competition partnered with a mysterious stranger [Dave Franco], the game begins to take a sinister turn with increasingly dangerous acts, leading her into a high stakes finale that will determine her entire future.’

And as you can from the pic above, Dave Franco (and his big nipples) have certainly been working out!

Take a look at the trailer below. The film is out in the US in July. [Read more…]

The Woods Trailer – Is Adam Wingard’s film the ‘scariest movie in decades’?

May 11, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

woods-poster-slideIt’s certainly a bold (if short) synopsis to say a movie is ‘One of the scariest movies in decades, THE WOODS reinvents horror with a completely fresh and terrifying take on the genre.’ However, that’s the claim being made for Adam Wingard’s latest.

The director has shown he has talent with the likes of You’re Next and The Guest, but reinventing horror with one of the scariest film in decades is quite a claim. However, it seems they’re intent on keep the exact details of the plot a secret, as the synopsis gives little away and the trailer that’s now arrived mainly tries to set a creepy and intense tone.

Take a look at the trailer and poster below. Callie Hernandez, James Allen McCune, Brandon Scott, Wes Robinson, and Corbin Reid star in the movie, which is due out in the UK in September. [Read more…]

Gay ‘Porn’ Short Film Allegedly Written By John Gielgud To Be Screened, Despite Some Thinking It Would Never Be Legally Shown

May 11, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

john-gielgudIn November 2014 many were surprised to hear that a gay ‘porn’ short film was being planned that was supposedly written by acclaimed actor and Oscar-winner, John Gielgud (Arthur, Calugula, Chariots Of Fire). What was less surprising was the news that Gielgud’s estate wasn’t impressed with that idea and had apparently refused to give permission for it to be made, feeling it wasn’t ‘appropriate’.

However those behind ‘Trouser Bar’ went ahead anyway, which resulted in many wondering whether it would ever be able to be legally screened. After all, if Gielgud’s estate had said ‘no’ to making the film, surely it wouldn’t be possible to release the short? However, now the first screenings have been announced as part of Peccadillo Picture’s POUTfest LGBT film tour around the UK, and it should also appear on the DVD release of Boy On Film 15 – Time And Ties: Gay British Short Film Collection. The first screening is planned for July.

However, when it is screened Trouser Bar not be officially connected to Gielgud. Producer David McGillivray has told us, “Originally thought to be written by a celebrated theatrical knight, the film is now being released with its screenplay unattributed”.

He adds, “The John Gielgud Charitable Trust denies Sir John’s authorship of ‘Trouser Bar’ and therefore so must I.”

The Gielgud attribution is based on the word of the late ‘grandfather of gay porn’, Peter de Rome, who said the Trouser Bar script had been given to him by the actor as a project for Peter to direct, after Gielgud had enjoyed some of de Rome’s earlier gay porn shorts. de Rome never made the film, but eventually passed the script to McGillivray, producer of the documentaries Fragments: The Incomplete Films of Peter de Rome and Peter De Rome: Grandfather of Gay Porn.

Helmed by gay porn director Kristen Bjorn, Trouser Bar is set in a menswear shop in 1970s London, where there’s more than a taste of corduroy that’s on the mind of its young customers. The short also features cameos from Julian Clary, Barry Cryer and Nigel Havers, as passers-by looking through the window of the shop to see what’s going on inside.

It’s certainly an interesting situation as the John Gielgud Charitable Trust can only really object to the screenings by accepting it is the late actor’s work, and therefore that his only known produced screenplay is for a gay ‘porn’ short. There may still be some blowback, as previously the Estate has suggested they may think it is Gielgud’s work, telling the Daily Mail last November that, “Earlier this year, the trustees decided not give their permission for it to be produced because they didn’t think it was appropriate. They didn’t have to go into detail because they own the copyright.” However, unless the Charitable Trust does decide to officially claim it as the actor’s work, it is likely the screenings and DVD release can go ahead, but without an attribution or official link to Gielgud.

Go-Go Boy Interrupted: S2, Ep6 – Is Danny really going to do gay porn?

May 10, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

go-go-boy-interrupted-s2-ep5After spending the last episode trying to decide whether to do gay porn or not, Danny is now on the set and getting ready for his big scene. However, he’s having a few issues, not with his equipment but with the dialogue before he gets to down to business. It’s not the traditional issues with bad acting, it’s more than Danny can’t quite work out what sort of improvisation is needed.

You also won’t be surprised to hear that when it comes to the sex, Danny’s not quite as prepared for that as he thought he was. All-in-all, it’s not an auspicious start to a porn career!

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

Orange Is The New Black Season 4 Trailer – Prison life isn’t getting any easier

May 10, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

orange-is-the-new-black-season-4Perhaps more than any other series, Orange Is The New Black that proved streaming services could not just compete with the major TV networks but better many of them. The show is heading into Season 4, and the trailer has now arrived.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘From Jenji Kohan, the creator of “Weeds”, Orange is the New Black is a thought-provoking, funny and evocative show about life in a women’s prison. Based on the best-selling memoir by Piper Kerman, the newest season of Orange delves into the racial and economic tensions that run rampant in the halls of Litchfield. Overrun with new inmates and overseen by inexperienced guards, the prison undergoes an unprecedented culture war.’

Swiss Army Man Red Band Trailer – Take a look at Daniel Radcliffe’s farting corpse’s boner compass!

May 10, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

swiss-army-man-daniel-radcliffeSwiss Army Man is a film first, as it’s almost certainly the only movie in history that almost immediately become knows as the ‘farting corpse movie’. It’s also resulted in the most unlikely headline for a post I think I’ve ever written. The first trailer gave us a taste of just how bizarre and Daniel Radcliffe and Paul Dano movie was, and now that’s been amplified with a Red Band trailer.

It also gives us our first look at Radcliffe’s much talked about boner compass!

The film follows a castaway man (Dano), who has reached the end of his tether living alone when a corpse (Radcliffe) washes up on the island. The movie charts the growing relationship between the man and flatulent dead guy, which as you’ll see below, gets increasingly surreal and rather romantic.

Swiss Army Man is apparently a real audience divider, but it certainly looks intriguing. Expect to see it in cinemas later this year. And in case you’re wondering the scene right at the end is one that got many people talking, where Radcliffe is ridden like a jet-ski, powered by his farts! [Read more…]

Ridley Scott Will Take On The Western, Wraiths of the Broken Land

May 10, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

ridley-scottWhile Ridley Scott signing on to direct a movie doesn’t always mean he’ll actually end up behind the camera – he likes to have a lot of film in development, only some of which he ends up making – Variety reports that he’s set to helm Fox’s western, Wraiths of the Broken Land.

There is some reason to think he may well make it though, as the project will reteam him with The Martian writer Drew Goddard, based on the acclaimed novel by S. Craig Zahler. The book ‘is set in Mexico around 1900 with two sisters forced into prostitution at a gentlemen’s club. The sisters’ two brothers and their father attempt to rescue them through their outlaw gang which also includes a former slave, an Indian and a brutal gunman (or “wraith”) who is the tactical leader.’

Scott is directing Alien: Covenant at the moment, but Wraiths of the Broken Land will be in the mix after he’s finished with that movie.

Manitoba is where they go to school together, do yoga together, play in a band together, and work together at a boring convenience store. Life is whatevs, but also on fleek. That’s kinda what being 15 and a half is all about. #RealTalk

Gael Garcia Bernal Back On To Be A Futuristic Zorro

May 10, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

gael-garcia-bernalBack in 2012 Gael Garcia Bernal was attached to the title role in Zorro Reborn, a futuristic take on the classic sword-swishing character, which had Ricardo de Monteuil loosely set to direct. However, the movie never happened and got trapped in development hell. However, the producers didn’t give up on the idea.

Now they’re back with Z, described as being completely different to Zorro Reborn but still taking the swashbuckler to the future. And once more, Bernal is attached to star, according to Deadline.

Jonás Cuarón (son of Alfonso), who helmed Bernal in the upcoming Desierto will direct. Cuaron also wrote the script for the movie, which is said to be set in the near future (so probably different to the full-on post-apocalyptic setting on Zorro Reborn. The plan is to shoot this autumn at Pinewood Dominican Republic studios.
