July 12, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

batman-v-superman-trailer-slideBatman v Superman: Dawn Of Justice decided Comic Con was a good time to unveil the first full length trailer, and to show us this is a film that plans to be dark, brooding, epic and seemingly pretty intense. Along with Henry Cavill as Superman and Ben Affleck as Batman, it also gives us a look at Jesse Eisenberg’s Lex Luthor and Gal Gadot’s Wonder Woman.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Fearing the actions of a god-like super hero left unchecked, Gotham City’s own formidable, forceful vigilante takes on Metropolis’s most revered, modern-day savior, while the world wrestles with what sort of hero it really needs. And with Batman and Superman at war with one another, a new threat quickly arises, putting mankind in greater danger than it’s ever known before.’

Take a look at the trailer below – it’s well worth watching. Batman v Superman: Dawn Of Justice is due out March 2016. [Read more…]

Gay Short Film Showcase: El SMS – Dustin Lance Black directs a film about life as a gay teen

July 11, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

el-smsWhen he’s not making people jealous by dating Tom Daley or campaigning for LGBT right, Milk screenwriter Dustin Lance Black is still very active in the world of film, and that include teaming up with Coca-Cola to direct the short film, El SMS.

Made as part of that drinks company’s Latin American ‘Crossroads’ campaign, the short is all about a gay teenager and the decision his friend has to make when he discovers that fact.

Although some might rile at the corporate connections it’s actually a rather sweet and charming film that’s worth a look whether it’s linked to fizzy drinks or not. You can watch the film below (although you may need to switch on subtitles).

Melissa McCarthy & Kirsten Wiig Strap On The Proton Packs In The First Official Ghostbusters Reboot Pic

July 11, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

ghostbusters-reboot-pic1Are you only allowed the bust ghosts in single gender groups? In the 1980s it was all men and now the series is getting rebooted with a female team of Ghostbusters – Melissa McCarthy, Kristen Wiig, Kate McKinnon and Leslie Jones.

The odd thing is that while it’s a different team and they’re all women, in this first official pic the whole thing looks very familiar, with similar costumes, the iconic Ghostbusters car, the logo and proton packs.

Director Paul Feig tweeted the first pic of the ladies in costume.

Although not many plot details have been released it’s believed McCarthy and Wiig play women who wrote a book all about how ghosts are real. However that later gets Wiig laughed out of her university job, leading her to reluctantly team with McCarthy, McKinnon and Jones to take on spooks that invade Manhattan.

It’s due out next year.

Jennifer Lawrence Up For The Rosie Project

July 11, 2015 By Tim Isaac 1 Comment

jennifer-lawrenceWith her Hunger Games and X-Men duties nearly wrapped up (unless she signs up for more, of course), Jennifer Lawrence is a free agent and has been lining up a variety of projects to star in. Now she’s got another, with Variety reporting she’s set to appear in The Rosie Project.

The film is ‘based on the Graeme Simsion novel, [and] centers on a socially awkward genetics professor who devises a science-based survey to find the perfect mate – only to see those theories splintered when he meets the spontaneous Rosie Jarman, who possesses the opposite qualities. Scott Neustadter and Michael Weber, who teamed on ‘(500) Days of Summer,’ have revised Simsion’s adaptation of the novel.’

In the book the scientist has a 16-page survey to help him find his wife – something that understandably makes women a little wary of him. However he becomes intrigued by Rosie’s quest to find her biological father.

A director is currently being sought (Phil Lord and Christopher Miller were attached, but have dropped out to concentrate on the recently confirmed Han Solo origins Star Wars movie).

Ben Affleck To Direct Solo Batman Movie With DC Comics’ Geoff Johns Co-writing

July 11, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

ben-affleck-batman-first-picThis year’s Comic Con has been quieter on big movie news that usual, but one major bit of news concerns Warner/DC’s plans for a solo adventure for the rebooted Batman, which it’s been revealed that Ben Affleck won’t just star in, he’ll also direct.

Ben also plans to  co-write the movie alongside DC Comics’ chief creative officer Geoff Johns. Apparently the decision grew out of the shared creative vision Affleck and Johns found they had while on the set of Batman Vs. Superman. They’re already started work on a script.

It won’t be Affleck’s next directorial outing as he’s due to start shooting Live By Night in September. The solo adventure is unlikely to be in cinemas before 2019 at the earliest, by which time we’ll have seen how the Caped Crusader is affected by both Batman Vs Superman and the Justice League movies.

Gay Short Film Showcase: Uniquely Nasty – Looking at the U.S. Government’s war on gays

July 8, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

uniquely-nastyWhile LGBT people in America are still on a high from the marriage equality victory at the Supreme Court, Yahoo! Screen has released the 30-minute Uniquely Nasty, which is a stark reminder that for a very long time the US Government had a singularly unpleasant history when it came to the treatment of gay people.

The doc starts out with the fairly recent but also largely forgotten fact that George W. Bush started his presidential campaign with a seemingly progressive stance towards gay rights, before taking a sharp right turn and leading a vehemently anti-gay administration. After that Uniquely Nasty looks back to the past, most particularly the gay witchhunts of the 1950s, where the McCarthyites went after ‘fags’ with as much – if not more – vigour as they did ‘commies’, indeed many seemed to think all gay were communists.

This utterly vociferous animus led to a concerted programme to remove LGBT from all government jobs, with everyone from teachers to congressmen knowing they could be outed and fired if there was even a hint about their sexuality. And at the time, people knowing they were gay could destroy your life more completely than getting fired.

Uniquely Nasty if a timely reminder of the past and what has brought us to the victories of today.

You can watch the full documentary below, which is well worth spending half an hour with, as it manages to be anger-inducing, shocking and at times surprisingly inspiring.
