Mia Wasikowska, Jessica Chastain & Tom Hiddleston Go Gothic In A New Crimson Peak Poster

August 5, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

crimson-peak-poster2Everything we’ve seen for Guillermo Del Toro’s haunted house tale, Crimson Peak, has been impressively gothic, and that’s certainly true of the new poster that’s been released and which you can see above.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Legendary Pictures’ Crimson Peak, a co-production with Universal Pictures, is a haunting gothic horror story directed by the master of dark fairy tales, Guillermo del Toro (Pan’s Labyrinth, Hellboy series, Pacific Rim), written by del Toro, Matthew Robbins and Lucinda Coxon and starring Mia Wasikowska, Jessica Chastain, Tom Hiddleston and Charlie Hunnam.

‘In the aftermath of a family tragedy, an aspiring author is torn between love for her childhood friend and the temptation of a mysterious outsider. Trying to escape the ghosts of her past, she is swept away to a house that breathes, bleeds…and remembers.’

It’ll be in cinemas in October.

Deadpool Trailer – The Merc With A Mouth is here and he’s Red Band

August 5, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Deadpool-logo-posterOver the years a Deadpool movie was in the works many fans were worried that the notoriously sarcastic, rude and violent character would get toned down and made family friendly, much as he was in X-Men Origins: Wolverine.

However the first trailer is very keen to show while Deadpool may have come from the X-Men universe, this is going to be an R-rated movie with plenty of blood, bad language and humour – complete with the character’s trademark breaking of the fourth wall.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Based upon Marvel Comics’ most unconventional anti-hero, DEADPOOL tells the origin story of former Special Forces operative turned mercenary Wade Wilson, who after being subjected to a rogue experiment that leaves him with accelerated healing powers, adopts the alter ego Deadpool. Armed with his new abilities and a dark, twisted sense of humor, Deadpool hunts down the man who nearly destroyed his life. Starring Ryan Reynolds, Morena Baccarin, Gina Carano, T.J. Miller and Ed Skrein’.

The movie’s out February 2016. [Read more…]

New Everest Trailer – Jake Gyllenhaal, Sam Worthington & Jason Clarke go mountaineering

August 5, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

everest-poster1-slideThere’s no doubt that things are dangerous when you go mountaineering, and that’s certainly true in Everest, which follows the events of what was the biggest tragedy on the mountain until the recent Nepal earthquake.

Now a new trailer has arrived, which certainly highlights those dangers.

Here the synopsis: ‘Inspired by the incredible events surrounding an attempt to reach the summit of the world’s highest mountain, Everest documents the awe-inspiring journey of two different expeditions challenged beyond their limits by one of the fiercest snowstorms ever encountered by mankind. Their mettle tested by the harshest elements found on the planet, the climbers will face nearly impossible obstacles as a lifelong obsession becomes a breathtaking struggle for survival. The epic adventure stars Jason Clarke, Josh Brolin, John Hawkes, Robin Wright, Michael Kelly, Sam Worthington, Keira Knightley, Emily Watson and Jake Gyllenhaal.’

The film is out in UK Cinemas 18th September. [Read more…]

Chris Pine Ben Foster & Jeff Bridges Team For Comancheria

August 5, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

chris-pineChris Pine, Ben Foster, and Jeff Bridges are all getting together for a film that sounds a little bit western, a little bit heist thriller and a little bit drama. ThePlaylist reports the actors have teamed up for the already shooting Comancheria.

The movie is about, ‘Two brothers (presumably Pine and Foster), one an ex-con and the other a divorced father of two kids, face the foreclosure of their family’s West Texas farm. They team for a skillfully-calculated bank robbing spree that puts them on a collision course with two Texas Rangers determined to take them down.

David Mackenzie, who made the acclaimed prison drama Starred Up, will helm the movie, from a script by Taylor Sheridan (Sicario).

Will Smith Takes On Collateral Beauty, Replacing Hugh Jackman

August 5, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

will-smithWill Smith is the new Hugh Jackman, or at least he is in Collateral Beauty, as Deadline reports that Smith is in talks to replace the Aussie star, who dropped out of the lead role a few weeks ago.

Johnny Depp was previously rumoured to be in the frame, but it’s now gone to Will.

Rooney Mara and Jason Segel are still attached to the movie, which is, ‘about a New York advertising executive (Jackman) 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’.

Me and Earl and the Dying Girl director Alfonso Gomez-Rejon will helm the movie, which should shoot later this year.

Gay Short Film Showcase: Dirty Paws – The relationship between guy & a werewolf gets animated

August 4, 2015 By Tim Isaac 1 Comment

dirty-pawsIf ever there was a show that lived up to accusations of gay-baiting, it’s Teen Wolf. However even that show has never gone as far as to get two guys in bed together when one of them is in full werewolf mode.

Animator Karina Farek has though, with Dirty Paws, her amusing thesis film for SVA bfa animation.

At first it’s not clear why one man is tieing up his boyfriend (and not in a kinky way), but once the full moon is out, it becomes clear that one of them is a lyncanthrope. However, the duo have learned how to deal with that once a month.

It all seems to be going well until the werewolf runs off and his boyfriend has to find him. Take a look at the animated short below, along with a blooper reel.

Kevin Bacon Thinks We Need More Penises In The Movies

August 4, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

kevin-bacon-psaMost people agree that film has a tendency to objectify women. So what’s the answer to this to bring about equality? Do we cover the ladies up, or do we disrobe the gents more, so at least everyone is being objectified?

Kevin Bacon thinks the latter, or at least he does in this parody PSA, which was made for Mashable to promote his new movie, Cop Car. In it, Kev sure doesn’t like how scared Hollywood is of showing the ‘d’, and so he offers to play all the roles that demand male genitalia (which in his mind, is all male role), from evening up the female nudity in Game Of Thrones with a bit of dick, to actually show some peen in 50 Shades Of Grey.

It’s a fun little film, and while it’s obviously made to amuse it does make a few good points about the disparity between male and female nudity on the screen.

As far as we know, Cop Car doesn’t show off Kevin’s bacon either, but at least he’s standing up for the cause. Take a look below. [Read more…]

Stonewall Trailer – Jeremy Irvine fights for gay rights in Roland Emmerich’s movie

August 4, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

stonewall-trailer-slideIt’s certainly worth making a new movie about the Stonewall riots, as while most people have heard of them, even many gay people have no idea what actually happened, beyond the fact it’s the place where the modern gay rights fight is said to have started.

While this trailer suggests Roland Emmerich’s movie might have a slightly simplified take on the events of Stonewall (it is keen to say it’s inspired by events of June 1969, rather than being based on real characters), it still looks like it might be pretty interesting and entertaining.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘STONEWALL is a drama about a fictional young man caught up during the 1969 Stonewall riots. Danny Winters (Jeremy Irvine) is forced to leave behind friends and loved ones when he is kicked out of his parent’s home and flees to New York. Alone in Greenwich Village, homeless and destitute, he befriends a group of street kids who soon introduce him to the local watering hole The Stonewall Inn; however, this shady, mafia-run club is far from a safe-haven.  As Danny and his friends experience discrimination, endure atrocities and are repeatedly harassed by the police, we see a rage begin to build. This emotion runs through Danny and the entire community of young gays, lesbians and drag queens who populate the Stonewall Inn and erupts in a storm of anger. With the toss of a single brick, a riot ensues and a crusade for equality is born.’

Joey King, Jonny Beauchamp, Caleb Landry Jones, Atticus Dean Mitchell, Jonathan Rhys Meyers and Ron Perlman co-star. The movie is out in the US on September 25th. [Read more…]

Fantastic Four Extended Preview – The superhero quartet are back and revamped

August 4, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

fantastic-four-final-poster-slideThere have been rumours of trouble surrounding the production of the reboot of Fantastic Four, which has led some to write it off already. However reports from a couple of preview screenings have been pretty good, and it may end up surprising even the studio (which seems uncertain about the film).

Now we get our best taste yet with a four-minute extended preview of the movie, which you can take a look at below. It actually looks pretty good – more serious than the last take on the Marvel characters, but still with a sense of fun.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘FANTASTIC FOUR, a contemporary re-imagining of Marvel’s original and longest-running superhero team, centers on four young outsiders who teleport to an alternate and dangerous universe, which alters their physical form in shocking ways. Their lives irrevocably upended, the team must learn to harness their new abilities and work together to save Earth from a former friend turned enemy.’

The film is in UK cinemas August 6th. [Read more…]

Saluting The Gay Screen Sissy In A Great New Video

August 3, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

edward-everett-hortonIn the past the ‘sissy’ was virtually the only representation of queer male sexuality that ever made it to the screen, and even then from the 1910s to 1950s the idea that they preferred boys to girls had to be hidden. The result was a complex stereotype, that in some movies was a comic character audiences loved to laugh at (and in some cases laugh with), and in others was a dangerous, destructive force out to destroy the ‘normal’ people.

However the rise of gay rights saw the sissy shunned, seen as a derogatory strereotype that de-humanised and de-sexualised gay people. However in the last few years there’s been a bit of a re-evaluation of these characters (which has come in tandem with a re-evaluation of the place of camp in gay culture), with some starting to see them as pioneers and a part of our past we should appreciate rather than denigrate, as well as something that should have a future in film and TV.

One of those with a soft spot for sissies in Matt Baume, who’s produced the great video below that looks at the history of this long-standing stereotype, covering everything from the Cowardly Lion in The Wizard Of Oz and Dr. Smith in Lost In Space, through to the more modern takes on the archetype, such as Jack in Will & Grace.

It’s an interesting video with a bit of history, a bit of sociology, as well as an appreciation that the British do the sissies better than anyone else! Take a look below, it’s well worth it, and may make you think again about what these camp characters did for us, both the good and the bad. [Read more…]
