Last June Hugh Jackman signed up to star in Collateral Beauty, with Jason Segel and Rooney Mara soon joining. However, soon Jackman was out and Will Smith was in, and now it appears there’s been another casting shift, as THR reports Keira Knightley is taking on the role it seems was previously filled by Rooney Mara.
The film is about a New York advertising executive (Smith) who experiences a deep personal tragedy. When his colleagues devise an unconventional plan to break him out of his depression, the plan works, but not in a way that anyone imagined. The likes of Helen Mirren, Ed Norton, Michael Pena and Naomie Harris are also attached to star.
THR adds that ‘One of the movie’s conceit concerns actors playing walking embodiments of Love, Time, and Death. Knightley would play Love’.
The movie starts shooting in the next couple of weeks in New York City, with David Frankel directing from a script by Allan Loeb. A December 2016 US release is already set, which suggests they’re already thinking this may be an awards contender.
Until now Shawn Balentine was best known as one of those people who are important to the movies, but who we’re not supposed to notice – a stunt double. He’s stood in for the likes of Jack Black, Oliver Cooper, and Patton Oswalt when when derring-do was needed and the actors (or their insurance company) demanded it.
2016 appears to be the year of Zac Efron comedies that don’t look all that good, but which hope to lure people in on the promise that he’s been in gym a lot of working out hard and will show us the results. We’ve already had Dirty Grandpa, and this summer will bring both Bad Neighbours 2 and Mike & Dave Need Wedding Dates. The last of those now has a trailer.
It seems the new Bourne movie is dropping the name convention of ‘The Bourne…’ and will just be called Jason Bourne, but other than that it’s business as usual. As this first look shows (which premiered during the Super Bowl), Matt Damon back in action, with plenty of action and fisticuffs. Indeed, if anything, it wants to show he’s even more badass this time around.
While most studios were just dropping 30 or 40 second trailers for their upcoming movies, Disney decided to tie into the big game with a new, full trailer for their upcoming, live-action take on The Jungle Book. You can take a look at it below.
The heroes in a halfshell return to the live action arena this summer with Out Of The Shadows, and now the film’s Super Bowl spot has arrived, giving us our first glimpse of the villainous Krang. Take a look below.
It’s only a couple of weeks since we discovered that 10 Cloverfield Lane existed, and now it’s got a Super Bowl spot which sets out to amp up the mystery, most particularly over whether this is a Cloverfield sequel, spin-off or just sharing the name to tie in into the fact it’ll be thematically similar to the monster movie. Whatever it is, it looks like John Goodman holing up in an underground shelter is a good idea, as it doesn’t seem very safe on the surface.
At the end of Independence Day mankind had won, but it was also clear that this might not be the end of our issues with aliens that want us dead. Now, two decades later, they’re back and Independence Day: Resurgence’s Super Bowl spot wants us to know we’ve got trouble.
Things were pretty precarious for the mutants in Days Of Future Past, but it looks like resetting the timeline hasn’t made their lives any easier. An extended version of the movie’s Super Bowl spot certainly suggests things are getting intense, angry and destructive.
As you might expect, Deadpool isn’t going to let the Super Bowl go by without a quip and a snide comment – although one that it has to be said that feels like it was carefully picked not to be too offensive. With the movie due out this week, the Big Game was the perfect opportunity to showcase the X-Men character’s unique brand of superhero-antics.
