Tumbledown Trailer – Jason Sudeikis has an unexpected romance with Rebecca Hall

January 9, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Tumbledown-jason-sudeikis-rebecca-hallWhile he’s gotten close, Jason Sudeikis hasn’t quite broken out as a fullon movie star yet, but he’s certainly got the potential. Now he’s heading into rom-com territory for Tumbledown, alongside Rebecca Hall. Now they trailer has arrived, which you can take a look at below.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Pop culture scholar Andrew (Jason Sudeikis) comes to Maine to interview Hannah (Rebecca Hall), the protective widow of an acclaimed singer. When the unlikely pair strike a deal to co-write a biography, Andrew finds himself clashing with a cast of locals, including Hannah’s hunky suitor (Joe Manganiello) and her loving but defensive parents (Blythe Danner, Richard Masur). When Hannah and Andrew’s stormy partnership blossoms into an unexpected connection, they face the possibility that the next chapter in their lives may involve each other. Dianna Agron and Griffin Dunne costar in this startlingly funny and sweetly romantic tale of moving on and finding love in the unlikeliest of places.’

It’ll be in US cinemas on February 12th, but no UK is currently set.

Aaron Sorkin Planning Molly’s Game As His Directorial Debut

January 9, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Although he’s a bit of a love him or loath him figure to some, Aaron Sorkin has made an incredible name for himself as a screenwriter (Jobs, The Social Network) and on TV (The West Wing, The Newsroom), but it’s only now that he’s planning to turn director. Variety reports that Sorkin is teeing-up Molly’s Game as his directorial debut.

He’s actually been involved in a film version of Molly Bloom’s memoir for over a year, as he signed up to write the screenplay in November 2014. Now though he’s hoping to direct as well, with Danny Boyle having vacated the director’s chair.

Molly’s Game is set in the world of high-stakes poker, with the story following Bloom who ‘was a top-tier skier who headed to Los Angeles after not qualifying for the Olympics and became an an organizer of underground poker games for Hollywood players including Ben Affleck, Leonardo DiCaprio and Tobey Maguire before being arrested by the FBI.’

Her downfall was getting involved (or according to her pressured) by the wrong people, including the Mafia who wanted a slice of the action after she moved from LA to New York, as well as turning what was a lucrative but legal operation into something that was classed as illegal gambling, after she started taking a cut of the pot rather than just relying on tips. It’s not known when the film about her will be released.

Colton Haynes Wants Gender Pay Equality (And Not Just For Male Models) In A New Vid

January 7, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

colton-haynes-funny-or-dieMost of the interest in Colton Haynes on the internet this week has been on whether or not he came out as gay, but the Arrow and Teen Wolf actor is keen for us to take a look at another issues – gender pay inequality. In a new Funny Or Die video, Haynes plays himself in male model made, as someone who has just discovered the massive disparity in the wages on male and female models.

In that case it turns out the top female models and paid 95% more than the top male models – and Colton is outraged. Men being paid less that women for the same work! However then he needs someone to help him learn that men earning more than women is far from the norm.

You can take a look at the humourous video below.

John Boyega Shoots Down Star Wars Gay Romance Theories

January 7, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

star-wars-poe-finn-oscar-isaac-john-boyega

Ever since Star Wars: The Force Awakens hit cinemas, a lot of people have wondered whether there was more to the relationship between Finn (John Boyega) and Poe (Oscar Isaac)  than just friendship – particularly one scene where they run towards each, which many have commented looked like they would end up kissing.

Since then the rumours have intensified, stoked by a comment Oscar Isaac (perhaps jokingly) made where he said he was playing the relationship between the two of them for romance. That’s led to speculation that in the coming movies it will develop into a real queer romance (despite pretty scant evidence that’s what’s planned).

However it looks like that isn’t where things are headed, and indeed that isn’t officially what’s going on in The Force Awakens – although perhaps it was for one of the actors. It’s John Boyega who’s shooting down the rumours, resulting in a Tweet from Shortlist’s Chris Mandle which reads ‘Sad news: John Boyega confirmed to me the Finn/Poe romance is not canon and it only exists “in Oscar’s head” :(‘

To be honest, it was always unlikely Disney was planning to make two of the main characters in Star Wars queer, at least in a way that was more than subtext. However to give you a little hope, it’s unlikely Boyega has seen the scripts for Episodes VIII and IX, so there’s always a chance the House Of Mouse has a secret up its sleeve – but don’t hold out too much hope.

Sad news: John Boyega confirmed to me the Finn/Poe romance is not canon and it only exists "in Oscar's head" 🙁

The Animals Are Here In Great New The Jungle Book Triptych Posters

January 7, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

jungle-book-triptych-completeIt’s just four months until Disney hopes that turning another one of its classic movies live-action will pay off at the box office. This time it’s The Jungle Book that’s being revamped, with Jon Favreau directing and the likes of Bill Murray, Ben Kingsley, Idris Elba, Lupita Nyong’o, Scarlett Johansson, Giancarlo Esposito and Christopher Walken providing the voices of the animals.

Disney has now released a great triptych poster, which you can see above, along with its constituent parts below.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Directed by Jon Favreau (“Iron Man”), based on Rudyard Kipling’s timeless stories and inspired by Disney’s classic animated film, “The Jungle Book” is an all-new live-action epic adventure about Mowgli (newcomer Neel Sethi), a man-cub who’s been raised by a family of wolves. But Mowgli finds he is no longer welcome in the jungle when fearsome tiger Shere Khan (voice of Idris Elba), who bears the scars of Man, promises to eliminate what he sees as a threat. Urged to abandon the only home he’s ever known, Mowgli embarks on a captivating journey of self-discovery, guided by panther-turned-stern mentor Bagheera (voice of Ben Kingsley), and the free-spirited bear Baloo (voice of Bill Murray). Along the way, Mowgli encounters jungle creatures who don’t exactly have his best interests at heart, including Kaa (voice of Scarlett Johansson), a python whose seductive voice and gaze hypnotizes the man-cub, and the smooth-talking King Louie (voice of Christopher Walken), who tries to coerce Mowgli into giving up the secret to the elusive and deadly red flower: fire.

‘The all-star cast also includes Lupita Nyong’o as the voice of the fiercely protective mother wolf Raksha, and Giancarlo Esposito as the voice of wolf pack’s alpha male Akela. “The Jungle Book” seamlessly blends live-action with photorealistic CGI animals and environments, using up-to-the-minute technology and storytelling techniques to immerse audiences in an enchanting and lush world. The wild adventure swings into cinemas in 3D on April 15, 2016.’

The Conjuring 2 Trailer – Things get creepy again for Vera Farmiga and Patrick Wilson in London

January 7, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

conjuring-2-pic1-slideAfter the massive success of The Conjuring, it’s no surprise that we’re getting a sequel. However it’s taken a while for it to be ready – so long that we’ve had time for the spin-off Annabelle in the meantime – but now we have a trailer for The Conjuring 2, which moves the action to Britain.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Reprising their roles, Oscar nominee Vera Farmiga (“Up In the Air,” TV’s “Bates Motel”) and Patrick Wilson (the “Insidious” films), star as Lorraine and Ed Warren, who, in one of their most terrifying paranormal investigations, travel to north London to help a single mother raising four children alone in a house plagued by malicious spirits.

‘The film follows the phenomenal worldwide reception of Wan’s “The Conjuring,” which marked the largest opening ever for an original horror movie.  The film went on to make more than $319 million worldwide and still remains the second highest grossing original horror movie of all time, second only to “The Exorcist.”’

And in case you’re haunting, it is about the same case as the recent British TV show, The Enfield Haunting. The Conjuring 2 will be in cinemas in June.

New High-Rise Teaser Trailer – Tom Hiddleston is living in a retro-futuristic dystopia

January 7, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

high-rise-teaser-slideA few weeks ago a teaser trailer for the much anticipated High-Rise dropped, but it didn’t show us too much of the movie, instead coming across as a faux promotional video for the retro-futuristic building referred to in the title. Now a more traditional teaser has arrived, suggesting this will be a bizarre but incredibly eye-catching movie.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘High-Rise centers on a new residential tower built on the eve of Thatcher’s England, at the site of what will soon become the world’s financial hub. Designed as a luxurious solution to the problems of the city, it is a world apart.

‘Enter Robert Laing (Hiddleston), a young doctor seduced by the high-rise and its creator, the visionary architect Anthony Royal (Irons). Laing discovers a world of complex loyalties, and also strikes up a relationship with Royal’s devoted aide Charlotte (Miller).

‘But rot has set in beneath the flawless surface. Sensing discord amongst the tenants, Laing meets Wilder, a charismatic provocateur bent on inciting the situation. Wilder initiates Laing into the hidden life of the high-rise and Laing is shocked at what he sees.

‘As the residents break into tribal factions, Laing finds himself in the middle of mounting violence. Violence that he also finds emerging in himself’.

The movie hits UK cinemas in March. Take a look at the teaser and a new poster below.

Guillermo del Toro Circling James Cameron Produced Fantastic Voyage Remake

January 7, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

guillermo-del-toro

For years James Cameron has been working on producing a remake of Fantastic Voyage, but it’s been trapped in development with the likes of Paul Greengrass, Shawn Levy and Louis Leterrier coming and going from the director’s chair (many others, including Darren Aronofsky, Timur Bekmambetov and Jonathan Mostow has flirted with it). Now it may finally be moving forward, with THR reporting that Guillermo Del Toro (Pacific Rim, Crimson Peak) is interested in directing.

David Goyer – who previously worked with Del Toro on Blade II – wrote the script, and it would also reunite the director with James Cameron after their aborted attempt to make a movie version of At The Mountains Of Madness.

The original 1966 Fantastic Voyage, followed a team of scientists who are miniaturised and injected into the body of a colleague, in order to try and save his life. The new version is envisioned as an event-sized tentpole for Fox, although it’s previously been suggested that the studio has had a few concerns about the budget (which is what caused At The Mountains Of Madness to come undone), but hopefully those problems have been ironed out.

Emma Stone May Be A Young Play Cruella de Vil For Disney

January 7, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

emma-stone

Disney is busy working its way through just about every classic animated movie it’s ever made in order to turn them live-action. 101 Dalmatians has already had that treatment back in the 1990s with Glenn Close as Cruella de Vil. Now though the House Of Mouse is having another go, this time with an origin story, to let us now how the fur obsessed villainess got to be the way she is..

Now the movie may have found its lead, as Variety reports that Emma Stone is in talks for the movie, which is currently going by the simple title, Cruella de Vil.

Not too much more is known about the movie, although it will be interesting to see with Cruella was always evil, or whether this will be a Maleficent-like tale that will show her to be misunderstood. Aline Brosh McKenna, who wrote Cinderella and contributed to Maleficent, is writing the script.

Disney is currently looking for a director, with the hope the movie can go into production before the end of the year.
