Robin Wright In Talks For Key Role In Blade Runner Sequel

March 31, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

robin-wrightFor a few years now a sequel to Blade Runner has been in the works, which had the backing of both Harrison Ford and Ridley Scott. While Scott was attached to direct at one point, he’ll now only produce, with Denis Villeneuve helming.

Ryan Gosling has also been attached to star for quite a while, but it now seems they’re ready to move the project forwards, with THR reporting that Robin Wright is in final talks for a key role in the movie. There’s no info on the plot, although there are apparently three key female roles, with Wright nabbing on of them. Ford will also be back as Rick Deckard.

Wright’s involvement was dependent on her schedule, as she’s shooting Wonder Woman now, and also has the next season of House Of Cards to squeeze in. However, it looks like they’ve sorted things out and she will be ready to shoot the Blade Runner sequel when it starts filming in July.

Gay Short Film Showcase: Le Parcours – Looking at the obstacle course run by young LGBT people

March 30, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

le-parcoursTBWA Paris and Inter-LGBT France have teamed up to create the very short but very effective film, Le Parcours (The Course). As the title suggests, it’s about an obstacle course, but this is a metaphorical one looking at the difficulties faced by many LGBT people around the world.

Ben Briand of Moonwalk Films directed the short, which is filmed completely in the first person, mixing the real and the imaginary to give a very good feel for the struggles with school, friends, family and identity that many young LGBT people have to deal with. Inter-LGBT says they wanted to show, the ‘energy, patience and courage it takes to get up every morning and keep moving despite prejudice and violence’, for many LGBT people.

Take a look at Le Parcours 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…]

Steel Trailer – A depressed man tries to rediscover life in the gay-themed film

March 30, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

steel-film-slideTLA Releasing should be bringing us the film Steel later this year, but in the meantime they’ve released a trailer for gay-themed movie. You can take a look at it below.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Daniel, a successful TV journalist living life in the fast lane, has fallen into a deep depression. His seemingly perfect life suddenly collapses under him when panic attacks force him to deal with his past. Fear, paranoia and desperation appear to get the better of him; people around him are helpless. Daniel, however, won’t give up. He tries to recapture what was once his, guided by young Alexander, with whom he embarks on a tentative journey into a painful past.’

had Connell, David Cameron, Mimi Kuzyk, Tamara Gorski, Erik Athavale and Jason Wishnowski, with Sven J. Matten directing. It certainly looks like it’ll be worth a watch. [Read more…]

Seek McCartney/Looking for Rohmer Trailer – Get a glimpse of the first gay-themed Chinese film approved for release there

March 30, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

seek-mccartneyAs we reported last September, the official Chinese censors had approved the first gay-themed film to officially allowed a release in the country – Seek McCartney (which is going by the name Looking For Rohmer on its international releases).  The movie is now preparing for its Chinese release, and to mark that, you can watch the trailer below.

The movie, directed by Wang Chao, focuses on the relationship between two gay men – one Chinese and one French.

There’s a bit of a battle raging in China at the moment over the government’s attitude to LGBT-themes. While the censor has approved Seek McCartney, last month it banned a popular series and had it removed from streaming services. It also announced it would take a dim view of ‘alternative’ relationships in other shows.

While gay sex was decriminalised in China in 1997, it remains a taboo subject for large parts of the county, and there is a bit of a cultural war over whether showing gay people in media is detrimental to society and Chinese values. Hopefully though the release of Seek McCartney will be the start of a liberalisation, even if what’s happening with TV suggests the opposite. [Read more…]

New Mother’s Day Trailer – Julia Roberts, Jennifer Aniston, Kate Hudson team for a tale of moms

March 30, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Mothers-Day-slideBrits may be a bit confused about why a film called Mother’s Day is reaching cinemas over here until June, but it’s because Americans have a different Mother’s Day to us, so they’re getting the film in April, and we might as well wait until June. The movie itself is another Garry Marshall ensemble tale (after Valentine’s Day and New Year’s Eve).

This one stars the likes of Jennifer Aniston, Julia Roberts, Kate Hudson, Britt Robertson, Sarah Chalke, Shay Mitchell, Jon Lovitz, Aasif Mandvi, Timothy Olyphant and Margo Martindale. A new trailer has dropped, which you can take a look at below.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘“Mother’s Day” is the latest star studded ensemble comedy from director Garry Marshall (“Pretty Woman,” “Valentine’s Day”). Bringing together Jennifer Aniston, Kate Hudson and Julia Roberts along with Jason Sudeikis, it’s a celebration of mothers everywhere. This big-hearted comedy invites us all to enjoy the laughter, tears and love as three generations come together in the week leading up to Mother’s Day.’ [Read more…]

Tough Love: Season 3, Episode 1, Part 2 – Steven still isn’t sure what to do with his hot gay date

March 29, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

In just a week, Part 1 of the first episode of Season 3 of Tough Love has had over 10k views on Vimeo, which means there’s plenty of people out there waiting to find out what happens next. When we left them, Blaire was in the midst of discovering the ex-girlfriend she wants back has found someone new.

Meanwhile, Steven’s insecurities surfaced when he discovered his blind date was a drop dead gorgeous model – and even worse, the hunk actually seemed to like him! In Part 2, Steven has to deal with what happens next, and as you can see from the gif above, that may involve getting into bed and confronting the fact he’s not quite as toned as the other guy (and to be honest, it’s not something he deals with particularly well).

It seems creator Steven Bell was also rather smitten with his co-star, commenting, “The actor who plays Marco (Constantin Tripes) is like a real life God. He’s 6’4” and not an ounce of fat on his body. In comparison, I’m barely 5’11” and I’m not sure if I actually have abs. I’ve never seen them so how can I be sure? In this week’s episode Marco takes Steven back to his apartment for “dessert” and things get steamy. I had to straddle Constantin in bed and it made me sweat a little, I think that my real life nervousness really made the scene work. Luckily Constantin was such a pro and had a great sense of humor during the entire shoot.”

Gay Short Film Showcase: American Obsession: Sailor Moon – Rediscovering the LGBT side of the classic anime

March 29, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

sailor-moonVice Media has released a great little documentary called American Obsession: Sailor Moon, which focuses on the LGBT-side of the beloved Japanese anime series.

Despite only being 11 minutes long, it covers a lot of ground, such as how when it was first dubbed for American audiences in the 1990s, two of the female characters, who were lovers in the original Japanese version, were turned into lovers who were just friends. However, even then many English-speaking viewers realised that there was something amiss.

The doc also looks at LGBT people and others who found inspiration in Sailor Moon, including a man who grew up friendless and affected by homophobic abuse from friends and family, who found solace in Sailor Moons, as well as learning about overcoming adversity and how people should treat one another. It’s well worth watching, so take a look below.

March 29, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

warcraft the beginning slide2They’ve sure taken a long time to bring us Warcraft: The Beginning.

‘So begins a spectacular saga of power and sacrifice in which war has many faces, and everyone fights for something.

‘Directed by Duncan Jones (Moon, Source Code) and written by Charles Leavitt and Jones, the film starring Travis Fimmel, Paula Patton, Ben Foster, Dominic Cooper, Toby Kebbell, Ben Schnetzer, Rob Kazinsky and Daniel Wu is a Legendary Pictures, Blizzard Entertainment and Atlas Entertainment production.’
