michael-keatonIt looks like Michael Keaton may be going from Superhero to Supervillain, as the former Batman is in talks to play the main bad guy in Sony’s planned standalone Spider-man movie, which has just been announced as being called Spider-man: Homecoming.

Variety first reported on Keaton’s possible involvement. However, there’s no word on who he will be playing, saying that information is being kept secret.

Tom Holland is set to play Peter Parker/Spider-man, with his take on the character being introduced in the imminent Captain America: Civil War. Marisa Tomei is also onboard as Aunt May, with Zendaya signed up for a mystery role. Jon Watts is directing the film from a script by John Francis Daley and Jonathan Goldstein.

April 13, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

kingsman-2-poster-slideOver the years Elton John has done a tiny bit of acting, but it looks like he may be adding to his thespian resume, as THR reports he’s in talks for a role in Kingsman: The Golden Circle. However, at the moment the part he would be playing is being kept a secret. THR suggests he may be playing himself.

He’ll join the returning Taron Egerton and Mark Strong, as well as newcomers Julianne Moore as the villain, Halle Berry as the CIA Chief and Pedro Pascal. The recent poster, which you can see below, also hints that Colin Firth will be back, which will be a surprise to many who watched the first movie.

Doctor Strange Trailer – Marvel gets a little magic with Benedict Cumberbatch

April 13, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Doctor-Strange-poster1-slideJust yesterday we said that it wouldn’t be long until a trailer for Doctor Strange arrived. Well, we were right as it’s now here and you can take a look at it below. The trailer suggests something a little darker than most Marvel movies, as giving us a taste of the magic it will bring to the universe.

We also get a look at a bald and rather mystical Tilda Swinton.

Cumberbatch plays Stephen Vincent Strange, a former neurosurgeon who becomes the next Sorcerer Supreme and primary protector of Earth against magical and mystical threats. Tilda Swinton will play Strange’s mentor, the Ancient One, while Chiwetel Ejiofor will appear as Baron Mordo, who also studies magic under the Ancient One, before becoming Doctor Strange’s nemesis. Mads Mikelsen is also onboard to play one of the main villains.

Scott Derrickson is directing the movie. It’ll be in cinemas November 2016. [Read more…]

Win The Gay-Themed Film What We Have On DVD!

April 12, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

what-we-have-dvd-coverThe gay-themed movie What We Have is out now on DVD courtesy of TLA Releasing, and we’ve teamed up with them to give away three copies in this competition!

What We Have charts the journey of Maurice Lesmers, a gay actor and teacher, who finds himself lost in translation in Northern Ontario. Fleeing from his troubled past in France, Maurice’s romantic sense of Canada leads him to seek refuge in a remote community where he discovers little outlet for his Parisian appetite for one-night stands. But things get complicated after he takes a job tutoring French to 15-year old Allan, a shy student struggling at school, and with his sexuality.

When he lands the leading role, Maurice finds himself surprisingly romantically to the theatre company’s charismatic manager, Michael. But their relationship is endangered when Maurice gets caught up in Allan’s adolescent world – risking everything to protect his young student who develops a hard-to-resist attraction for his enigmatic European mentor.

To be in with a chance of winning the copies of What We Have on DVD that we’ve got to give away, answer the question below and fill in your details, then press submit! The competition closes on April 27th, 2016, so get answering and good luck. [Read more…]

Gay Short Film Showcase: How To Get Over A Breakup – Tips to surviving the end of a gay relationship

April 12, 2016 By Tim Isaac 1 Comment

how-to-get-over-a-breakupAlthough it was only released a short time ago, the short film How To Get Over A Breakup has already been successful enough that the people behind it have decided to turn it into a web series. Creator Krishna Kumar, who’s been creating video shorts for years, has set up up an Indiegogo campaign in the hope of making more episodes.

In the meantime we have the original short film, a mix of high drama and comedy, which sees Kumar opposite some other Youtubers, such as Jared, Red Melvin, Davey Wavey and Miles Jai, trying to get some tips on how to get over a bad breakup. You can watch the film below.

Kumar told Huffpo, “Understandably, many people feel profoundly alone after the end of a romantic relationship and some give up on love as a form of extreme escapism to protect themselves from future heartbreak. What’s interesting is that when people deny themselves this integral part of life, it hurts not just themselves but also those around them. ‘How to Get Over a Breakup’ was made to support people through the struggles of a breakup whilst keeping their hearts open to new experiences. In today’s society of having instant gratification, it’s important to note that happiness takes varying amounts of time. It is not attained through someone else. Lasting happiness is intrinsic. It is exponential; it begets itself.”

Take a look at it below. If you know a short film we ought to be posting, tell us by getting in touch via our contact page. And check out more gay short films and web series here. [Read more…]

Go-Go Boy Interrupted: Season 2, Episodes 1&2 – Jimmy Fowlie’s ageing gay twink makes more life changes

April 12, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

go-go-boy-interrupted-s2-ep1Jimmy Fowlie’s web series Go-Go Boy Interrupted turned out to be a big success when it debuted in late 2014, so much so that a Kickstarter for Season 2 raised almost $70,000. Not the first two episodes of that season have arrived, which see Danny (played by Fowlie) having made some changes in his life, but it’s two steps forwards two steps back, as the only job he can get is as a lunchtime go-go boy at a low rent dive. He’s no longer the cute early-20s twink who could get paid to dance at top clubs.

It’s time to try and make something of himself.

Fowlie has suggested to Queerty Season 2 was more difficult that the show’s outing, saying, “There wasn’t as much pressure the first season, since we didn’t know if anyone would watch. Plus the crew was so janky! There was a camera guy, and a sound guy.

“Season 2 there were PA’s, and a hair and make up person, a production designer, an AC (whatever the FUCK that is), a script supervisor. And on the first day I was so overwhelmed. People would be like, ‘What do you think of this outfit? What do you think of this napkin?’ and I was like ‘ahh..I don’t know.’”

Once more it’s funny and a little sexy, and there’s also space for some good cameos, including Scott Evans (Chris’ gay brother), Heather Morris, the wonderful Willam Belli, and  Brian Jordan Alvarez. Take a look below, and click here to catch up with season 1. [Read more…]

Tough Love: S3 Ep3 – What happens when you take your gay porn filled computer in for repair?

April 12, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

tough-love-s3-ep3Have you ever had to take your computer in for repair? Were you worried that the technician would find your enormous stash of porn that you like to pretend doesn’t exist? That’s the situation Steven faces in the latest episode of Tough Love.

Creator Steven Bell talks comments about what inspired the episode, “It’s possible I’m the only one who’s experienced this, but do you know that feeling when you’re laptop’s on the fritz and you know it’s going to die soon, but you still haven’t deleted all that raunchy porn off your hard drive? This episode is about what happens when your computer dies while you’re watching porn. Someone has to fix it and that person is going to see how kinky you are. I had a conversation with an Apple Store employee who said he’s seen more nudes of random people at work then he’s ever seen in his personal dating life. It’s a very humiliating, awkward situation for the repair person and the customer bringing in the computer. So of course, I wanted to make an episode about it.”

The other half of the episode follows Blaire around as she adventures into the world of exercise. She forces herself into the lunch plans of some NYC fitness ladies and things get really awkward.

Bell continues, “This episode is called Shame. It’s one of my favorites of the season. We get to see both Steven and Blaire in very humiliating circumstances and I would say this is our most character defining episode yet.”

Take a look below and click here to catch up on the rest of Season 3.

The episode also features two notable guest stars. Beth Hoyt (Inside Amy Schumer, Brooklyn Nine Nine, High Maintenance) and Angela Struck (Louie, Last Week Tonight with John Oliver). [Read more…]

Garrett Clayton Takes A Shower In First Clip From James Franco’s Gay Murder Movie, King Cobra

April 12, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

king-cobra-clipLast October it was revealed that James Franco was continuing his fascination with everything gay by producing and starring in King Cobra, based on a real-life case of murder in the gay porn business. Director Justin Kelly has worked quickly, as the film is due to premiere shortly at the Tribeca Film Festival.

Ahead of that comes the first clip, via EW, which features Garrett Clayton as Sean Paul Lockhart, aka gay porn star Brent Corrigan, and Christian Slater as porn producer, Bryan Kocis.

The film is about how porn actors Harlow Raymond Cuadra and Joseph Manuel Kerekes (Keegan Allen and James Franco) savagely killed porn producer and head of Cobra Video, Bryan Kocis. They thought by doing so they’d be able to make it big behind-the-scenes of the porn world, and lure Brent Corrigan to work for them in order to make a massively successful movie.

The film premieres on April 16th. Take a look at the clip below. [Read more…]

Russell Tovey & Andrew Garfield Teaming For London Stage Production Of Angels In America

April 12, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

russell-toveyLast month it was revealed that Andrew Garfield and Olivier Award winner Denise Gough were set to star in a new London National Theatre production of Tony Kushner’s Pulitzer Prize-winning play, Angels In America. Now it’s been announced that they will be joined by Russell Tovey, according to Broadway.com.

Tovey will play Joe Pitt, a married, Mormon attorney, who is secretly gay and starts a relationship with a man called Louis. Gough is set to be his wife, whose life starts to fall apart as her husband realises who he is and begins to live a new wife. Garfield meanwhile will be Louis’ former boyfriend, who is diagnosed with AIDS and as the disease ravages his body, he begins to have fantastical visions.

The National Theatre staged the first international production of the play in 1992, with the new production due to be staged at the same venue 25 years later, starting May 2017. Further casting will be announced soon, with many expecting other well-known names to fill the other roles.

Benedict Cumberbatch Magics Up A Doctor Strange Poster

April 12, 2016 By Tim Isaac 1 Comment

Doctor-Strange-poster1I wouldn’t be surprised if we get a trailer for Doctor Strange very, very soon (around the time Captain America: Civil War is released makes sense), as a few days after a new picture of Benedict Cumberbatch as the title character debuted, the first official poster has arrived.

Cumberbatch will play Stephen Vincent Strange, a former neurosurgeon who becomes the next Sorcerer Supreme and primary protector of Earth against magical and mystical threats. Marvel Comics artist Steve Ditko created the character in 1963. Tilda Swinton will play Strange’s mentor, the Ancient One, while Chiwetel Ejiofor will appear as Baron Mordo, who also studies magic under the Ancient One in the comic books, before becoming Doctor Strange’s nemesis. Mads Mikelsen is also onboard to play an as yet unnamed villain, who EW says, is ‘a sorcerer who breaks off into his own sect… he believes that the Ancient One is just protecting her own power base and that the world may be better off if we were to allow some of these other things through.’

Scott Derrickson is directing the movie. It’ll be in cinemas November 2016.
