May 24, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

black-mass-trailerSynopsis: Black Mass stars Oscar® nominee Johnny Depp (“Public Enemies”, “Donnie Brasco”, the “Pirates of the Caribbean” films) as Whitey Bulger and Joel Edgerton (“The Great Gatsby,” “Zero Dark Thirty”) as FBI Agent John Connolly. Filming began in Boston under the direction of Scott Cooper (“Out of the Furnace,” “Crazy Heart”).

#The film also stars Benedict Cumberbatch (“Twelve Years a Slave”) as Whitey’s brother, Billy Bulger, who is a Massachusetts State Senator; Jesse Plemons (AMC’s “Breaking Bad”) as Whitey’s longtime partner in crime, Kevin Weeks; Dakota Johnson (“Fifty Shades of Grey”) as Lindsey Cyr, Whitey’s former girlfriend and mother of his only child; Rory Cochrane (“Argo”) as Steve Flemmi, another member of the Irish mob; Julianne Nicholson (“August: Osage County”) as John Connolly’s wife, Marianne; and Adam Scott (ABC’s “Parks and Recreation”) as FBI Agent Robert Fitzpatrick. Rounding out the main cast are David Harbour (“End of Watch”), Jeremy Strong (“Zero Dark Thirty”), Brad Carter (HBO’s “True Detective”), W. Earl Brown (“Draft Day”) and Corey Stoll (“The Bourne Legacy”).

‘In 1970s South Boston, FBI Agent John Connolly (Edgerton) persuades Irish mobster James “Whitey” Bulger (Depp) to collaborate with the FBI and eliminate a common enemy: the Italian mob. The drama tells the true story of this unholy alliance, which spiraled out of control, allowing Whitey to evade law enforcement, consolidate power, and become one of the most ruthless and powerful gangsters in Boston history.’

Knock Knock Trailer – Keanu Reeves goes home invasion for Eli Roth

May 24, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

knock-knock-slideIt looks like we’ll be getting something a little different from Keanu Reeves in Knock Knock, not least that he’ll be getting pleasured by two women!

The movie teams Keanu with director Eli Roth, of Hostel and Cabin Fever fame, which sees ‘two beautiful young girls, walk into a married man’s life and turn a wild fantasy into his worst nightmare.’

It look like Roth could be going back to the intense horror with a dash of sex that he was first known for, although this time with someone a bit more famous in the lead.

The movie reaches cinemas this June. [Read more…]

First Look At Matt Damon In Ridley Scott’s The Martian

May 24, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

the-martian-pic1Poor old Matt Damon, he got stranded for years on a distant planet in Interstellar and now he’s getting trapped alone on Mars! The first pics from Ridley Scott’s The Martian have now emerged, showing Matt looking very lonely on the Red Planet.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Six days ago, astronaut Mark Watney became one of the first people to walk on Mars. Now, he’s sure he’ll be the first person to die there.

‘After a dust storm nearly kills him and forces his crew to evacuate while thinking him dead, Mark finds himself stranded and completely alone with no way to even signal Earth that he’s alive—and even if he could get word out, his supplies would be gone long before a rescue could arrive.

‘Chances are, though, he won’t have time to starve to death. The damaged machinery, unforgiving environment, or plain-old “human error” are much more likely to kill him first. But Mark isn’t ready to give up yet. Drawing on his ingenuity, his engineering skills—and a relentless, dogged refusal to quit—he steadfastly confronts one seemingly insurmountable obstacle after the next. Will his resourcefulness be enough to overcome the impossible odds against him?’

While the movie will largely involve Matt alone on Mars, the film also features Jessica Chastain, Kate Mara, Michael Peña, Kristen Wiig, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Jeff Daniels, Mackenzie Davis, Sean Bean, Donald Glover and Naomi Scott.

It’s due out in November.

Take at look at he pics below. [Read more…]

First Pic Of Meryl Streep & Hugh Grant In Florence Foster Jenkins

May 24, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Florence-Foster-Jenkins-pic1Here’s something you almost never see – a film where the female lead is both older than the male, and they are romantically attached. Seriously, see if you can think of any other movies where in terms of love interests the man was younger than the woman, while it’s almost par for the course that leading men get to star opposite a woman significantly younger than they are.

It is perhaps particularly interesting as in real life the characters Meryl Streep and Hugh Grant are playing were about the same age, so it’s a nice reversal of Hollywood’s usual tendency towards sexism.

The pic above is the first from Stephen Frears’ Florence Foster Jenkins, which tells ‘the true story of the legendary New York heiress and socialite who obsessively pursued her dream of becoming a great opera singer. The voice she heard in her head was beautiful, but to everyone else it was hilariously awful. Her “husband” and manager, St Clair Bayfield, an aristocratic English actor, was determined to protect his beloved Florence from the truth. But when Florence decided to give a public concert at Carnegie Hall in 1944, St Clair knew he faced his greatest challenge.’

Many believe that Florence’s inability to know how dreadful her singing was, was due to neuro-syphilis, but that probably won’t be mentioned in the movie.

The film is currently shooting.

Reese Witherspoon Will Be Disney’s Live Action Tinker Bell

May 24, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

reese-witherspoon-wild-slideA few months ago Disney revealed that they were working on a live action film featuring Peter Pan’s fairy friend, Tinker Bell – which considering the success of their Disney’s Fairies line of merchandise and film, isn’t surprising.

Now they’ve found their fairy, as THR reports that Reese Witherspoon is attached to star in and produce Tink. Not much is known about the plot, but it appears it will follow in the footsteps of Maleficent of taking a classic Disney character and showing us a new side to her, as well as to the familiar story.

That may suggest it will explain why she seems so jealous in the Disney animated movie when Peter pays attention to another woman (and may also go into why she doesn’t speak in the film, but has since been given a voice by the House Of Mouse).

Unlike Maleficent though, this won’t be a huge mega-budget movie, instead being conceived as a midrange movie.

Jane Fonda Says She Once Mistakenly Assumed Warren Beatty Was Gay

May 21, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

warren-beatty-youngNowadays Warren Beatty is known for being one of cinema’s greatest ladies men, but it appears he didn’t always come across that way to everyone, as while talking to W Magazine, Jane Fonda says that at one point her gaydar went a bit wonky as she thought he was gay.

And as a blow to his manhood, her assumption didn’t come from looking at him from afar, but was partly due to a 1959 screen test they had together where it appears his kissing didn’t convince her of his love of the ladies. She says of the test that they “were thrown together like two lions in a cage and kissed until we had practically eaten each others’ heads off.”

She admits she doesn’t remember much else about it, but adds, “I thought Warren was gay. He played piano, and all his friends were gay.”

She’s not completely wrong either, as it’s known that his friendships with gay playwrights such as William Inge and Tennessee Williams helped his early career and his transition from the stage to Hollywood, although with the likes of Annette Bening, Natalie Wood, Joan Collins, Julie Christie, Madonna and Diane Keaton as notches on his bedpost, it seems clear his reputation as a ladies man isn’t undeserved.

Fonda was being interviewed about her new Netflix show Grace & Frankie, which sees her and Lily Tomlin playing women dealing with the fact their husbands (Martin Sheen and Sam Waterston) have both come out of the closet and run off with one another.

Tomorrowland: A World Beyond (Cinema Review)

May 21, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Starring: George Clooney, Britt Robertson, Hugh Laurie
Director: Brad Bird
Running Time: 130 mins
Certificate: 12A
Release Date: May 22nd 2015 (UK)

I love sci-fi and to say I was looking forward to this film is an understatement. I am a huge fan of Brad Bird’s previous work, The Incredibles (2004), and his first live action film, Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol (2011), is one of the best entries in the franchise.

His films have a trademark sense of kinetic fun and action, mixed with well-formed characters and witty dialogue, which is the perfect mix for any summer blockbuster.

Tomorrowland tells the story of Casey Newton (Britt Robertson) a highly optimistic girl with smarts who has dreamt of travelling to the stars. She is arrested whilst trying to sabotage the dismantling of Cape Canaveral’s Launchpad, and upon release she discovers a mysterious pin which by touch transports her to the scientific and artistic wonder that is Tomorrowland (think Epcot designed by Apple and Syd Mead, complete with a hoverrail (hover meaning hover, rail meaning rail)).

The Gallows Trailer – Are you ready for some more found footage horror?

May 21, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

the-gallows-slideOriginally slated for release in October, the UK release of The Gallows as been moved up to July, with the distributors hoping that after a slew of blockbusters and comedies, audiences will be ready for some found footage horror.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Twenty years after an accident caused the death of the lead actor during a high school play, students at the same small town school resurrect the failed stage production in a misguided attempt to honor the anniversary of the tragedy—but ultimately find out that some things are better left alone.’

Written and directed by Travis Cluff and Chris Lofing, the film comes from the producers of Paranormal Activity, who will be hoping it copies that movie’s success. [Read more…]

Batkid Begins Trailer – The true story of a little boy whose dream became a feelgood viral sensation

May 21, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Batkid-beginsSynopsis: It’s November 15, 2013.Twenty-five thousand people descend on San Francisco. Online, two billion others join in. This massive crowd erupts with a collective display of public emotion rarely seen. With a Beatlemania-like intensity, people take to the streets and screens. They are all united to fulfill the wish of 5-year-old Miles Scott, who is recovering from Leukemia. It is his dream to become Batkid and save Gotham City. Untitled BatKid Documentary chronicles the making of the overnight international phenomenon that is BatKid.

The film reveals what happens when an event goes unintentionally viral. Will the San Francisco Make-A-Wish Foundation fulfill its mission to help Miles reclaim his childhood after battling disease for more than half his short life? Or will the event itself spiral out of control; consume the organization, scare Miles and shut down an entire city?

Audiences will come along as Patricia Wilson, executive director of the San Francisco Make-A-Wish chapter, and her team – in true superhero spirit – tackle the monster they created.

Before BatKid, the largest crowd Patricia had organized was 300. She posts an RSVP on her website. Immediately 7,000 sign up. Soon the number is growing at 1,000 people a day, overwhelming Patricia’s team. Will the young boy’s dream
get lost in a nightmare?

This film shows what can happen when people come together in the spirit of “Yes! And….”

Everyone Patricia and company approach say “Yes!” And even take the request a step further.

Featring exclusive illuminating interviews with all the main players including executives at Twitter and Apple, the film reveals surprising truths about what happens when a nerve is touched in our digital society.

The film looks at the “why” of this phenomenon. Why did the intense outpouring of spontaneous support for a five-year-old reverberate around the world? In the end, the film leaves audiences to decide; did Miles need the world for inspiration? Or did the world need Miles? [Read more…]
