Jennifer Lawrence & Francis Lawrence May Reunite For Red Sparrow

September 14, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

jennifer-lawrenceIt seems Jennifer Lawrence must have liked working with director Francis Lawrence on The Hunger Games sequels, as Deadline reports the helmer has signed on direct Red Sparrow, with Lawrence interested enough in starring that it’s now being developed with her in mind.

She’s hasn’t officially signed on but it’s a distinct possibility.

The film is an adaptation of Jason Matthews’ novel, which is set in modern-day Russia. The story follows Dominika Egorova, a spy forced into becoming a ‘sparrow’, who is trained to seduce rival agents. Her first assignment is a CIA operative tasked with handling Russian intelligence, but they soon fall for one another, threatening both their careers and the identities of moles in both the American and Russian governments.

The likes of David Fincher and Darren Aronofsky have previously flirted with directing, but now it’s Lawrence who’s at the helm.

Everlasting Love (Amor Eterno) (DVD Review)

September 13, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Starring: Joan Bentallé, Aimar Vega, Hugo Alejo
Director: Marcal Fores
Running Time: 69 mins
Certificate: 18
Release Date: September 14th 2015 (UK)

A lonely, middle-aged teacher, Carlos, head to a local cruising ground looking for company. While there are both gay and straight people having sex there, he fails to find anyone, until he stumbles across one of his students, Toni. This starts an uneasy affair between the two, although after they have sex, Carlos realises things have gone too far and tries to break it off. However, Toni is continues to pursue Carlos, and the teacher doesn’t resist too much.

There are also strange, dark, potentially violent things going on in the woods amongst Toni friends, and it may be something that Carlos can’t escape either.

Everlasting Love is a movie that some viewers will find pointless and a little infuriating, while others will have the almost polar opposite reaction, being pulled in by its brooding atmosphere, deliberate strangeness and attempts to intrigue. It’s a movie that doesn’t have a huge amount of plot – even though it’s only 67 minutes long, the actual story probably takes up just half of that – but instead tries to build mood and atmosphere.

#NoHomo Episode 2 – Pretending to be gay doesn’t work too well for two straight guys

September 13, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

nohomo-ep2It seems quite of lot of you liked the first episode of #NoHomo that we posted last week, and now it’s time for Episode 2.

Ep. 1 introduced us to Tyler and Skyler, two straight guys (played by models Christian Plauche & Matthew Egan) who decided that maybe the best way for them to get with women was to get close by pretending to be gay. Now it’s time to properly put the plan into action in Episode 2, with the guys heading for a party in their new, rather stereotypes gay personas. However there’s one girl there who isn’t falling for their ruse, especially when it comes time for them to kiss.

This isn’t the end of the guys’s adventure though, as there are still six more episodes of #NoHomo to come. You can take a look at Episode 2 below. [Read more…]

New The Program Trailer – Ben Foster takes on Lance Armstrong in the new biopic

September 13, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

the-program-ben-foster2Few sport doping scandals have had a bigger impact than Lance Armstrong, largely because his fame was as much due to his inspirational story (surviving testicular cancer and coming back to be a champion) as it was about what he did on a bike. He was also one of the biggest anti-doping spokespeople, before admitting that his career had been extensively aided by banned performance-enhancing subjects.

From the moment he made his confession, various film folk have been planning a biopic, and the first to reach us is The Program, starring Ben Foster.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘From Academy Award nominated director Stephen Frears (The Queen, Philomena) and producers Working Title Films (The Theory Of Everything, Everest, Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy), comes the true story of the meteoric rise and fall of one of the most celebrated and controversial men in recent history; Lance Armstrong, the world-renowned Tour de France champion.

‘The world needs heroes and Lance Armstrong was the ultimate sporting hero. Following a gruelling battle with cancer, Lance returned to his cycling career in 1999 more determined than ever and with his sights set firmly on winning the Tour de France. With the help of the infamous Italian physician Michele Ferrari and team director Johan Bruyneel, he developed the most sophisticated doping program in the history of the sport. This program allowed Lance and his American teammates to dominate the world of cycling, winning the Tour an unprecedented seven times.

‘However not everyone believed the fairytale…Sunday Times journalist, David Walsh, at first charmed by Lance’s charisma and talent, soon began to question whether the ‘world’s greatest athlete’ was ‘clean’. Walsh sought to unveil the truth, his ensuing battle with Armstrong risked his own career, ostracised him from the cycling community and cost his paper, The Sunday Times, hundreds of thousands in legal costs. But the indefatigable Walsh eventually uncovered the truth when a select few prepared to talk came forward, exposing one of the greatest deceptions of our time.’

It’ll be in UK cinemas on October 16th. [Read more…]

Olivia Cooke Up For Spielberg’s Ready Player One

September 13, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

olivia-cookeOlivia Cooke’s star has steadily been rising thanks to the likes of Bates Motel, Ouija and the Sundance hit, Me and Earl and the Dying Girl. Now the British actress has got another major boost, as Steven Spielberg has cast her as the female lead in his played Ready Player One, according to THR.

The movie will be based on Ernie Cline’s novel. Here’s the synopsis: ‘In the year 2044, reality is an ugly place. The only time teenage Wade Watts really feels alive is when he’s jacked into the virtual utopia known as the OASIS. Wade’s devoted his life to studying the puzzles hidden within this world’s digital confines—puzzles that are based on their creator’s obsession with the pop culture of decades past and that promise massive power and fortune to whoever can unlock them. But when Wade stumbles upon the first clue, he finds himself beset by players willing to kill to take this ultimate prize. The race is on, and if Wade’s going to survive, he’ll have to win—and confront the real world he’s always been so desperate to escape.’

Cooke will play Wade’s love interest Sam, a Canadian blogger who goes online by the name Art3mis.

The actresses name has also been mentioned in connection to the Star Wars Episode VIII, which is expected to start shooting fairly soon.

Win The Gay-Themed Thriller Everlasting Love On DVD!

September 13, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Everlasting-Love-coverThe gay-themed Everlasting Love is released on DVD in the UK from September 14th, courtesy of TLA Releasing, and we’ve teamed up with them to give away three copies of the movie in this competition!

Each day after work, Carlos, a language school teacher, frequents the heady surroundings of his local cruising ground. One evening he encounters a teenage boy from his class named Toni, and the two engage in a brief sexual tryst. As the relationship between teacher and student begins to develop, some dark truths emerge about the young man and his mysterious group of friends. Much like Alain Guiraudie’s Stranger by the Lake, Marçal Forés’ follow-up to his acclaimed debut Animals (BFI Flare 2013) continues to explore the perils of illicit sexual encounters, but with an edge of youthful impudence. Characterised by meticulous long shots, Forés’ disturbing mystery has a languid visual approach often at odds with the thrills on screen, which are guaranteed to shock and excite in equal measure.

To be in with a chance of winning one of the three copes of Everlasting Love that we’ve got to give away, answer the question below and fill in your details, then press submit! The competition closes on September 27th, 2015, so get answering and good luck. [Read more…]

Drown Trailer – Things get sexy and a little bit gay for some Aussie lifeguards

September 10, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

drown-slideAustralia has a history of making some really good gay-themed film, and Drown looks set to continue that tradition, especially is you like buff guys running around in their speedos. Indeed, if this trailer is anything to go by, nobody wears a full set of clothes for the entire movie (well, not quite, but close).

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Len is a lifesaving champion, a legend in his lifetime. But when the younger, faster and fitter Phil arrives at the club and saves a young boy on his first day, it seems Len is no longer on top of his game.

‘His confused feelings for Phil cause him to react violently but when Phil wins the annual Sydney Lifesaving competition; a competition Len has previously won five times, he finally comes face to face with a fundamental question, will he accept his own identity?

‘Drown is a bold, eye catching, energetic gem, which explores the male body, sexuality and the consequences of same-sex attraction in a masculine environment, all through the lens of a life-saving hero.’

The film is out on DVD in the UK on 12th October. [Read more…]

Patrick Dempsey Is Having Bridget Jones’ Baby

September 10, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

patrick-dempseyAfter a decade of being Doctor McDreamy in Grey’s Anatomy, Patrick Dempsey has know left his Seattle stethoscope and the soap opera dramatics behind. Well, actually the latter isn’t quite true, as Deadline reports he’s in talks to join the third Bridget Jones film, Bridget Jones’ Baby.

The movie has been in the works for a long time, but there have been a few issues, not least over which of the original cast would return. In the end they’ve decided not to base it on Helen Fielding’s latest Bridget novel, Bad About The Boy (which controversially killed off Mark Darcy) and it will instead be loosely based around Fielding’s newspaper columns.

The change may partly be to do with the fact Hugh Grant didn’t want to return, but Colin Firth did, and so Darcy will be alive for the movie, while Grant will be absent.

Not much is known about the film’s plot, although it is known it will see Bridget getting unexpectedly pregnant. There’s no info on who the father might be, and with nothing released about Dempsey’s role, there’s a chance he might be one of the contenders – or indeed he could be getting his stethoscope out again as her doctor.

Sharon Maguire, who helmed the original Bridget Jones’s Diary movie, is directing once more, with filming due to kick off on October 2nd.

Tom Cruise Is Going To Luna Park With His Edge Of Tomorrow Director Doug Liman

September 10, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

tom-cruiseDoug Liman and Tom Cruise had a great time together making Edge Of Tomorrow, and soon after they decided to team up again for the drug drama Mena. Now they’ve got yet another project they’re planning together, Luna Park.

Variety reports the news, saying that the film’s ‘plot revolves around a group of renegade employees who venture to the moon to steal an energy source.’

Liman has been attached to the movie for several years, and has previously considered the likes of Chris Evans and Andrew Garfield. Since then the script has gone through some major revisions. Cruise will only officially sign on once he’s seen a screenplay he’s happy with, but he’s provisionally attached.

He’d also need to find time to fit it into his schedule, as he’s expected to shoot Jack Reacher 2 and another Mission: Impossible in the next year of so.
