April 13, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Such-Good-PeopleIt feels like we’ve been waiting eons for Such Good People. We first reported on it back in October 2012 when the film was looking for crowdfunding. We’ve had the trailer since then, and now the film is getting is US release, and to celebrate we’ve got a great exclusive clip.

In it Randy Harrison and Michael Urie have a bit of a police problem when their missing dogs are mistaken for being something else.

First Pic Of Darren Criss As Hedwig Arrives

April 13, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

darren-criss-hedwigWe’ve had Neil Patrick Harris, Andrew Rannells, Michael C. Hall and the recent stint from John Cameron Mitchell playing Broadway’s take on Hedwig And The Angry Inch, and now it’s Glee star Darren Criss’ turn.

And in what has fast become a bit on an anticipated tradition, we’ve not got the first pic of the actor in the character’s glittery make-up. He does look pretty, although less androgymous than you might expect.

Hedwig is the show’s East German title character, who was left with an angry inch after a botched sex change operation that she had in order to get into the US with her American GI lover. Hedwig then started dating young Tommy Gnosis, who left her behind when he took her music and became a rock star – leaving her understandably bitter (but still very funny).

Criss is playing the role on Broadway from April 29th to July 19th.

Channing Tatum Gets A Shirtless Magic Mike XXL Banner

April 13, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

magic-mike-2-channing-tatum-character-bannerMost people might be getting excited about the slew of big budget blockbusters that are on their way to cinemas, but let’s not forget that this summer also sees the return of the Magic Mike strippers, and just so we don’t ignore the film, Channing Tatum has got a new character banner.

As you’d expect he’s got his shirt off, and to be honest he’s looking a bit Footloose.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘“Magic Mike” stars Channing Tatum, Matt Bomer, Joe Manganiello, Kevin Nash, Adam Rodriguez and Gabriel Iglesias are reuniting for the hotly anticipated sequel “Magic Mike XXL”. Joining the returning cast, in brand new roles, will be Elizabeth Banks (“The Hunger Games” franchise), Donald Glover (“Community”), Amber Heard (“The Rum Diary”), Andie MacDowell (“Footloose”), Jada Pinkett Smith (“Gotham”) and Michael Strahan (“Live with Kelly and Michael”).

‘The new film will be directed and produced by Emmy Award winner Gregory Jacobs (“Behind the Candelabra”), who served as a producer on “Magic Mike,” as well as numerous features in a long-running collaboration with Steven Soderbergh. “Magic Mike XXL” also reunites “Magic Mike” producers Nick Wechsler, Channing Tatum and Reid Carolin, with a screenplay by Carolin. Steven Soderbergh, who directed the first film, will executive produce.

‘Picking up the story three years after Mike bowed out of the stripper life at the top of his game, “Magic Mike XXL” finds the remaining Kings of Tampa likewise ready to throw in the towel. But they want to do it their way: burning down the house in one last blow-out performance in Myrtle Beach, and with legendary headliner Magic Mike sharing the spotlight with them. On the road to their final show, with whistle stops in Jacksonville and Savannah to renew old acquaintances and make new friends, Mike and the guys learn some new moves and shake off the past in surprising ways.’

Magic Mike XXL is due out July 3rd.

Terminator Genisys ‘Payoff’ Trailer – John Connor has a surprise for us

April 13, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

terminator-genisys-new-pic1-slideThere’s still a bit of suspicion around the continuation/reboot that is Terminator Genisys, even after a very good first trailer. However now the movie is ready to really show us what it’s got up its sleeve, giving us a glimpse at exactly how Jason Clarke’s John Connor plays into a movie that takes place largely before he was born.

We already new that this would be a different version of sci-fi past than we’re familiar with, with Sarah Connor having been teamed up with Arnie’s Terminator for many years, but now we know her son is also heading back in time and he’s going to be… well, just look at the trailer below. Plus we also get a glimpse of 1984 Armie having a fight with 2015 Arnie, which should be fun.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘When John Connor (Jason Clarke), leader of the human resistance, sends Sgt. Kyle Reese (Jai Courtney) back to 1984 to protect Sarah Connor (Emilia Clarke) and safeguard the future, an unexpected turn of events creates a fractured timeline. Now, Sgt. Reese finds himself in a new and unfamiliar version of the past, where he is faced with unlikely allies, including the Guardian (Arnold Schwarzenegger), dangerous new enemies, and an unexpected new mission: To reset the future…’

The movie is due out July 3rd. [Read more…]

New Ant-Man Trailer – Paul Rudd is getting very small

April 13, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

ant-man-paul-rudd-shirtlessEver since was first rumoured Ant-Man sounded like an odd hero to get a blockbuster adventure, but seeing as people said the same about pretty much every other character Marvel’s given a movie – from Iron Man to Thor – before they went on to huge success, there’s every reason to believe this new movie will be worth a look too.

And that’s backed up by a new trailer, which does look nuts but also kinda fun, and even finds time to make a joke about the fact the hero’s title is a tiny bit silly.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘The next evolution of the Marvel Cinematic Universe brings a founding member of The Avengers to the big screen for the first time with Marvel Studios’ “Ant-Man.” Armed with the astonishing ability to shrink in scale but increase in strength, master thief Scott Lang must embrace his inner-hero and help his mentor, Dr. Hank Pym, protect the secret behind his spectacular Ant-Man suit from a new generation of towering threats. Against seemingly insurmountable obstacles, Pym and Lang must plan and pull off a heist that will save the world.

‘Marvel’s “Ant-Man” stars Paul Rudd as Scott Lang aka Ant-Man, Evangeline Lilly as Hope Van Dyne, Corey Stoll as Darren Cross aka Yellowjacket, Bobby Cannavale as Paxton, Michael Peña as Luis, Judy Greer as Maggie, Tip “Ti” Harris as Dave, David Dastmalchian as Kurt, Wood Harris as Gale, Jordi Mollà as Castillo and Michael Douglas as Hank Pym. Directed by Peyton Reed and produced by Kevin Feige, Marvel’s “Ant-Man” delivers a high-stakes, tension-filled adventure on July 17, 2015.’ [Read more…]

Sylvester Stallone Is Back As Rocky In The First Pic From Creed

April 13, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

creed-pic1-slideFor the past few years Sylvester Stallone has shown he’s certainly not afraid to revisit past success, and for the most part it’s worked, with decent box office for the likes of Rocky Balboa and Rambo. Now he’s bringing his famed boxing creation back once more for a movie that has the potential to become a franchise in its own right, but carrying on without him.

Now Stallone has shared the first picture from Creed, with features the actor in the ring alongside Michael B. Jordan as Adonis, the son of Rocky’s former opponent Apollo Creed.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Adonis Johnson (Jordan) never knew his famous father, world heavyweight champion Apollo Creed, who died before he was born. Still, there’s no denying that boxing is in his blood, so Adonis heads to Philadelphia, the site of Apollo Creed’s legendary match with a tough upstart named Rocky Balboa.

‘Once in the City of Brotherly Love, Adonis tracks Rocky (Stallone) down and asks him to be his trainer. Despite his insistence that he is out of the fight game for good, Rocky sees in Adonis the strength and determination he had known in Apollo—the fierce rival who became his closest friend. Agreeing to take him on, Rocky trains the young fighter, even as the former champ is battling an opponent more deadly than any he faced in the ring.

‘With Rocky in his corner, it isn’t long before Adonis gets his own shot at the title… but can he develop not only the drive but also the heart of a true fighter, in time to get into the ring?’

The movie is due out in November. [Read more…]

Win The Gay-Themed Land Of Storms On DVD!

April 11, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

land-of-storms-dvd-coverThe gay-themed Land Of Storms has had great success on the festival circuit and now it arrives on DVD in the UK via TLA Releasing on March 13th, 2015, and we’ve teamed up with them to give away three copies of the movie in this competition.

In a love triangle story that’s fresh, engrossing and sumptuously shot, freshman soccer player Szabi (András Sütő) has moved from Hungary to Germany to become a professional athlete. While he usually gets along with fellow player and roommate Bernard (Sebastian Urzendowsky), a lost game and a quarrel compel Szabi to return to Hungary, where he’s inherited his grandparents’ derelict home. One night, someone tries to steal his old bike, and that is how he meets Aron (Adam Varga), a young man from the village. What starts as a rough meeting changes when they begin to work together on the house. Their simple and basic life turns complicated when Bernard shows up from Germany. Then the locals start to react to the threesome.

Land of Storms is a strong, personal story of sexual awakening, self-discovery, and intolerance. Director Ádám Császi chose to concentrate on what the characters hide, revealing truths subtly rather than through visuals or dialogue, and all three actors give exceptionally strong performances. With his first feature, Császi convincingly reflects a topic that Hungarian cinema is unfamiliar with in a sincere and uncompromising gay love story.

To be in with a chance of winning one of the three copies of Land Of Storms on DVD that we’ve got to give away, answer the question below and fill in your details, then press submit! The competition closes on April 25th, 2015, so get answering and good luck! [Read more…]

Out Actor Chad Allen Says Goodbye To The Profession After More 30 Years

April 11, 2015 By Tim Isaac 4 Comments

chad-allenNowadays actors are generally left to come out (or not) on their own terms, but back in the 90s it was still a scoop to forcibly out someone for no other good reason than trying to sell copies of newspapers and magazines. That happened to Chad Allen in 1996, at a time when he was fast becoming one of TVs hottest young stars as part of the cast of Dr. Quinn Medicine Woman. Photographs of him kissing a man were sold to tabloid, and he was forced out whether he wanted to or not.

While many believe the ‘revelation’ hurt his post Dr. Quinn career by making it more difficult for him to get mainstream roles, he channeled the situation into becoming an LGBT activist, playing gay detective Donald Stratchey in a series on films, as well as continuing to take guest roles in the likes of Dexter and Criminal Minds.

However now, after more than three decades in the business (he got his first TV credit when he was just six, first finding success as a child in the sitcom Our House and as the autistic Tommy Westphall in St. Elsewhere), the 40-year-old has publicly revealed that he is leaving acting behind. Indeed it appears he’s not been actively pursuing roles for a couple of years while he’s been studying clinical psychology.

In a video which announced the news and in which he bids goodbye to his fansite, he says, “It’s been an incredible journey… working on the incredible shows that I’ve been able to work on over the years. I’m incredibly grateful and always will be… My life has taken me on a very different trajectory and after 30-plus years as an actor. I made a decision a couple of years ago to let go of that side of my life go and I’ve been focusing on my education.”

He does confirm though that he’s not leaving everything from his earlier life behind, as he will continue to raise funds for HIV-AIDS.

Hopefully this won’t be completely the last we see of him, as while Allen’s outing was cruel and unnecessary, it was also a significant moment, as it was one of the first times a young American actor was revealed to be gay while they still had ‘heart-throb’ status and Hollywood could see that it didn’t hurt the show he was part of. Hollywood may have completely dropped the ball with him after Dr. Quinn, but he’s undoubtedly a significant figure.

Take a look at his goodbye video below. [Read more…]

Ian McKellen Joins Beauty & The Beast As The Clockwork Cogsworth

April 11, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

ian-mckellenIt’s odd that in their animated movies Disney is content that fairytale people can have American accents, but when they turn live-action everything gets very British, whether it’s Angelina Jolie adopting an English accent for Maleficent or the fact most of the cast of Cinderella were Brits.

They’re certainly following that course with  Beauty & The Beast, which already has Emma Watson (Belle), Luke Evans (Gaston), Dan Stevens (the Beast), and Emma Thompson (Mrs. Potts) bringing their UK credentials to the movie (although Josh Gad and Kevin Kline will add a bit of an American dimension).

Now they’ve added one more, as the ever-excellent Ian McKellen has signed on, according to Variety, to play the butler who’s been turned into a clock, Cogsworth.

McKellen’s involvement isn’t too surprising as the film will reunite him with his Gods & Monsters and Mr. Holmes director, Bill Condon.

The live-action take on Beauty & The Beast will shoot this year with a March 17th, 2017 release set.

Eddie Redmayne Is The Top Choice For Harry Potter Spin-off Fantastic Beasts

April 11, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Eddie-RedmayneFor quite some time JK Rowling has been working on the script for the Harry Potter spin-off Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them, with the first part of the three movie series coming November 18th, 2016 (with 2018 & 2019 set for the parts 2 &3). There’s also a director, with David Yates set to return to the Potter realm for the movie.

What’s the film is currently lacking is someone to play the movie’s hero, Newt Scamander, but now Variety says Yates and Warner Bros. are narrowing down their choices and that currently Eddie Redmayne is the top choice for the role. No offer has been made and a few other actors are being considered, including Nicholas Hoult, but the Theory Of Everything Oscar winner is the front-runner.

The movie is set 70 years before the Harry Potter movies and follows ‘magiczoologist’ Scamander after he sets out to write the book Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them (which is one of Harry’s textbooks). The other main characters are two American girls and two American boys, who will be cast soon.
