Dallas Buyers Club and You’ve Got Mail actor Steve Zahn is one of those people it feels should have broken out bigger, but never quite has. Now he’s scored a new role, but we’ll only sort of be seeing him in it.
THR reports he’ll don a motion capture suit to play an ape in War For The Planet Of The Apes. Andy Serkis will once more be ape leader Caesar, with Gabriel Chavarria and Woody Harrelson as the two human leads.
Not a vast amount is known about the movie, but returning director Matt Reeves has said, “As this story continues, we know that war is not avoided by the end of DAWN. That is going to take us into the world of what he is grappling with. Where he is going to be thrust into circumstances that he never, ever wanted to deal with, and was hoping he could avoid. And now he is right in the middle of it. The things that happen in that story test him in huge ways, in the ways in which his relationship with Koba haunts him deeply. It’s going to be an epic story. I think you’ve probably read that I sort of described it where in the first film was very much about his rise from humble beginnings to being a revolutionary. The second movie was about having to rise to the challenge of being a great leader in the most difficult of times. This is going to be the story that is going to cement his status as a seminal figure in ape history, and sort of leads to an almost biblical status. He is going to become like a mythic ape figure, like Moses.”
Normally web series barely manage to scrape together 10-minutes per episode, but Boy Toys jumps right in with a 30-minute opening instalment, with the promise of five more to come over the next few weeks.
Despite numerous films from Guardians Of The Galaxy to The Avengers, and TV series such as Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D. and Daredevil, there’s one thing that’s been noticeably lacking in the interconnected Marvel Screen Universe – openly gay characters.
Matt Damon’s poorly thought out comments about gay actors are still eliciting comment. 
A veteran of Broadway, Canadian born Victor Garber has become an increasingly familiar face on TV and film over the years in the likes of Titanic, Tuck Everlasting and Legally Blonde, while Alias fans will recognise him as Jennifer Garner’s spy father. He’s also gay, something that was an open secret for many years but which the actor only confirmed in early 2013.
The transgender-themed comedy series Boy Meets Girl is released on DVD in the UK from October 12th, 2015, courtesy of RLJ Entertainment’s Acorn Label, and we’ve teamed up with them to give away two copies of the movie in this competition!
