Ansel Elgort Tells The World He Isn’t Gay But It Wouldn’t Matter If He Was

December 19, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

ansel-elgortNowadays in Hollywood if you’re a young actor, you almost want there to be rumours that you are gay, as it’s almost become a right of passage and marker that your star is on the rise – after all, it does at least mean people are paying attention to you.

One young man who’s certainly seen his screen status rise this year is Ansel Elgort, thanks to The Fault In Our Stars and Divergent. As a result there have been some people questioning whether he likes boys more than girls (although we have to say it’s not exactly a question that has kept Nobel Laureates awake at night).

The 20-year-old has decided to set the record straight, saying that he is indeed a lady lover, but he’s a modern guy so also wants to ensure he has no problem with the whole gay thing. He tweets:

Just in case it isn't clear… I like girls. A lot.

— Ansel Elgort (@AnselElgort) December 18, 2014

Also let me say if I was gay I wouldn't hide it. Being gay or straight isn't bad or good it just IS. U are who you are. Be true to yourself.

— Ansel Elgort (@AnselElgort) December 18, 2014

The young man is actually slated to play gay in a biopic of pianist Van Cliburn, who rose to prominence by winning a music competition in Moscow at the heigh of the Cold War. He also raised a few eyebrows by creating a gayer version of the Fault In Our Stars poster image, alongside Nat Wolff.

Backstreet Boys: Show ‘Em What You’re Made Of Trailer – The lads look back on their years together

December 19, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Backstreet-Boys-show-Em-What-posterAfter having a break for several years, the Backstreet Boys got back together in 2014 and as part of that they decided to make a film about their time together, where for several years they were the biggest pop group in the world.

Now a trailer for the documentary has arrived.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘An emotionally open and honest film portrait of the biggest boy band ever, THE BACKSTREET BOYS, who take us through the highs and lows from boyhood to manhood that led them back into a London studio in 2012 to write a new album, make a film and plan their 20th anniversary re-launch. The reunion renewed friendships, but dynamic shifts reveal new and old tensions that need confronting and resolving. Directed by Stephen Kijak (Stones in Exile, Scott Walker: 30 Century Man) this is a surprising and rewarding journey filmed over 2 years that delves into the extremes of fame/fortune, betrayal and renewal.’

The is released in selected UK and European cinemas on Thursday 26 February 2015, including a special performance by the band broadcast LIVE by satellite, followed by the international roll-out of the recorded release. [Read more…]

New American Sniper Trailer – Bradley Cooper turns ace gunman

December 19, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

american-spider-bradley-cooperIf you’re going to change directors, swapping Steven Spielberg for Clint Eastwood is a great trade. With a limited US release of December 25th, American Sniper is now gearing up to be in the Oscar race, with Bradley Cooper aiming for his third Oscar nomination in a row with the movie.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘From director Clint Eastwood comes “American Sniper,” starring Bradley Cooper as Chris Kyle, the most lethal sniper in U.S. military history. But there was much more to him than his skill as a sharpshooter.

‘U.S. Navy SEAL Chris Kyle is sent to Iraq with only one mission: to protect his brothers-in-arms. His pinpoint accuracy saves countless lives on the battlefield and, as stories of his courageous exploits spread, he earns the nickname “Legend.” However, his reputation is also growing behind enemy lines, putting a price on his head and making him a prime target of insurgents. He is also facing a different kind of battle on the home front: striving to be a good husband and father from halfway around the world.

‘Despite the danger, as well as the toll on his family at home, Chris serves through four harrowing tours of duty in Iraq, personifying the SEAL creed to “leave no man behind.” But upon returning to his wife, Taya Renae Kyle (Sienna Miller), and kids, Chris finds that it is the war he can’t leave behind.’

The movie arrives in UK cinemas (and goes wide in the US) on January 16th. [Read more…]

A Little Chaos Trailer – Kate Winslet returns to period drama in Alan Rickman’s movie

December 19, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

A-Little-ChaosAlan Rickman is a great actor, but now he’s turning director (technically for the second time after 1997’s The Winter Guest) and going period drama with A Little Chaos.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘A LITTLE CHAOS re-imagines the creation of the Rockwork Grove, one small element of the Sun King, Louis XIV’s building of the magnificent Palace of Versailles.

‘Madame Sabine De Barra (Kate Winslet) is an unlikely candidate for landscape architect of the still‐to-be-completed Palace of Versailles. She has little time for the classical, ordered designs of the man who hires her, the famous architect Le Nôtre (Matthias Schoenaerts). However, as she works on her creation, she finds herself drawn to the enigmatic Le Nôtre and forced to negotiate the perilous rivalries and intricate etiquette of the court of King Louis XIV (Alan Rickman). But Sabine is made of strong stuff; her honesty and compassion help her to overcome both the challenges of her newfound popularity, and an unspeakable tragedy from her past, to win the favour of the Sun King and the heart of Le Notre.’

A UK release is set for April 17th, 2015. [Read more…]

True Story Trailer – Jonah Hill and James Franco get dramatic

December 19, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

true-story-pic1James Franco’s plans have certainly changed in the past few days, as rather than running around promoting the release of The Interview, the cancellation of the film’s release means he’s lying relatively low instead. However just so we don’t forget about him, the trailer for True Story has arrived, a film that hopefully won’t have hackers threatening to commit terrorist atrocities.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘When disgraced New York Times reporter Michael Finkel meets accused killer Christian Longo — who has taken on Finkel’s identity — his investigation morphs into an unforgettable game of cat and mouse. Based on actual events, Finkel’s relentless pursuit of Longo’s true story encompasses murder, love, deceit, and redemption.’

Franco plays Longo, with Jonah Hill as Finkel. Felicity Jones and Ethan Suplee also star. The film premieres at Sundance, with a US release set for April 10, 2015. No UK date is currently set. [Read more…]

Take A Look At Tom Hanks on the Set Of Spielberg’s Cold War Thriller

December 19, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Steven-Spielberg-tom-hanks-cold-warTom Hanks and Steven Spielberg have had fruitful collaboration over the years, and now they’re back together for a Cold War thriller, which may be going in front of the camera but currently has no title.

And to give us a sneak look, EW has released the first on-set image, which you can see below.

Tom Hanks is set to play American lawyer James Donovan, who is tasked by the US government to negotiate the release of American U-2 spy plane pilot Francis Gary Powers after his aircraft crashes in the Soviet Union.

Spielberg is directing from a script by Joel and Ethan Coen.

First Pic Of Jessica Chastain In Guillermo Del Toro’s Crimson Peak

December 19, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

crimson-peak-jessica-chastainGuillermo Del Toro is certainly taking his time with Crimson Peak. The movie shot early this year but won’t be in cinemas until October 2015. However we now get our first look at the movie courtesy of an image of Jessica Chastain that appears in the latest issue of EW.

Few story details have been released, beyond that young author Edith Cushing (Mia Wasikowksa) discovers that her charming new husband Sir Thomas Sharpe (Tom Hiddleston) is not who he appears to be and has plenty of secrets. Chastain plays Sharpe’s sister, Lucille, while Charlie Hunnam is Dr. Alan McMichael.

As you can see from the pic, it’s a rather gothic affair and it appears it’ll be shot through with Del Toro’s unique style.

Chris Pratt Gets Photobombed By A Velociraptor In A New Jurassic World Pic

December 17, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Chris Pratt & raptor in Jurassic WorldI still can’t get over how fricking hot Chris Pratt has become since he started working out (maybe there’s still hope for me), and that’s certainly true in this new pic, released by Jurassic World director Colin Trevorrow on Twitter as a festive treat.

While we might all like to get photobombed by a raptor, Trevorrow says, ‘Happy Holidays from the editing room. Do not try this at home.’

It’s an apt pic as in interviews Trevorrow has confirmed that Pratt’s character has been studying the raptors and has developed a relationship with them – they’re not friends and can’t be trained to do tricks, but it appears things may have moved on from the super-smart agents of destruction they’ve been in earlier movies. That would certainly explain the shot in the trailer where Pratt is riding a motorbike in amongst a pack of the dinosaurs.

You can take a look at that trailer here.

JK Rowling Says Of Course Harry Potter Had Gay School Mates (And She Does It With Class)

December 17, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

JK-RowlingIt would have been a bit odd if the only gay person at Hogwarts was Dumbledore, but there’s been no confirmation before now that he wasn’t the sole anomaly in a sea of straightness surrounding Harry Potter.

Now someone on Twitter has prompted JK Rowling to address the issue, and while she declined to name names, she confirmed that ‘of course’ there were LGBT people at the school.

The user, @claraoswiin, asked, “Do you think there are a lot of LGBT students in modern age Hogwarts? It’s safe to assume that Hogwarts had a variety of people and I like to think it’s a safe place for LGBT students”.

Rowling, who’s long been a supporter of gay rights, responded with the perfect Tweet below.

The author also recently confirmed she’s completely the initial work on the screenplay for the Potter spin-off trilogy, Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, with the first of those movies due in cinemas November 2016.

Jamie Dornan Went To A BDSM Dungeon To Get Into 50 Shades Character (While Showing Off His Guns)

December 17, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

jamie-dornan-ELLEWhile Jamie Dornan didn’t have a huge amount of time to get ready to play Christian Grey in the upcoming movie version of 50 Shades Of Grey, it seems he still took his research seriously. Talking to Elle UK, he says he decided to head to a BDSM dungeon to have a look at what goes on.

Dornan comments, “I went there, they offered me a beer, and they did…whatever they were into. I saw a dominant with one of his two submissives. I was like: ‘Come on guys I know I’m not paying for this but I am expecting a show,’” he said. “It was an interesting evening. Then going back to my wife and newborn baby afterwards… I had a long shower before touching either of them.”

It’s a shame the encounter wasn’t videotaped so we could take a look ourselves on the eventual DVD extras.

Dornan also posed for the great pic above for Elle as part of his cover shoot, where we have to say he’s certainly looking good.

50 Shades hits cinemas on Valentine’s Day.
