King Kong Movie Skull Island Announced

July 27, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

king-kongWhen Legendary Pictures had their shingle at Warner Brothers, they got involved in all manner of the studios properties, such as Christopher Nolan’s Dark Knight movies. Now they’ve moved to Universal and are looking into that studio’s back catalogue. Perhaps unsurprisingly they have come up with King Kong.

At Comic Con, Legendary managed to surprise the Hall H audience with a teaser trailer that many apparently initially thought was going to be for Jurassic World, but ending up taking the viewers through a lush, tropical island until they finally meet the star of the show, Kong himself.

The film will be called Skull Island, and will presumably be a prequel set in the place that is Kong’s home. No other story details were released.

During the panel Legendary also announced that in Godzilla 2, the big lizard will fight Mothra, King Ghidorah and Rodan. Now some are wondering if we’ll eventually get Godzilla Vs. Kong.

Horns Trailer – What’s growing out of Daniel Radcliffe’s forehead?

July 26, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

horns-teaser-trailerHorns certainly shows a different side of Daniel Radcliffe – although you have to wait until the very end to properly see what’s really changed about him for this role, as he literally has horns growing out of his forehead.

In Horns, ‘Ig Perrish (Daniel Radcliffe) is accused of the violent rape and killing of his girlfriend, Merrin Williams (Juno Temple). After a hard night of drinking, Ig awakens, hungover, to find horns growing out of his head; they have the ability to drive people to confess sins and give in to selfish impulses. Ig decides to use this effective tool to discover the circumstances of his girlfriend’s death and to seek revenge by finding the true murderer.’

It certainly look pretty intense and rather unusual. Alexandre Aja (The Hills Have Eyes) direct.

It’ll be in cinemas later this year. [Read more…]

Tusk Trailer – Justin Long & Haley Joel Osment star in Kevin Smith’s strange movie

July 26, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

tuskEver since it was announced, Tusk sounded like a strange film, and the trailer does nothing to disabuse us of that idea.

Indeed it’s perhaps even stranger than we might have thought it would be – Michael Parks’ old soldier doesn’t want to die alone, even if that means holding someone hostage and trying to turn him into a walrus!

With Long tied to a chair by a madman, it’s up to his friends to find him. Genesis Rodriguez, Haley Joel Osment and Ralph Garman co-star.

Take a look at the trailer below and decide for yourself whether this is so bonkers it might be inspired, or whether it’s just completely nuts. [Read more…]

Joaquin Phoenix in Talks For Marvel’s Doctor Strange

July 26, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

camp-the-documentary-joaquin-phoenixVarious names have been rumoured for the title role in Marvel’s Doctor Strange, such as Benedict Cumberbatch. However the man who’s likely to take the job has slightly come out of left field, as THR reports that Joaquin Phoenix is in talks for the role.

Although he hasn’t accepted yet, it’s believed Marvel is hoping to get him to accept quickly and they may even officially announce him during their Comic-Con 2014 panel. It’s believed a sticking point might arise if Marvel wants Phoenix to sign one of their usual long-term contracts, as he’s more likely to want a per-film deal.

If he does sign on, it’d certainly be something different for the actor, who has generally steered clear of big blockbuster type movies. However it’s suggested co-stars such as Jeremy Renner (The Immigrant), Scarlett Johansson (Her), and Josh Brolin (Inherent Vice) have helped convince him it’s worth becoming part of the Marvel Universe.

If you don’t know the character, Doctor Strange is a former neurosurgeon, a practicing sorcerer, and serves as the Sorcerer Supreme, the primary protector of Earth against magical and mystical threats.

Edgar Wright To Direct Film About Sexual Identity Confusion & Killer Praying Mantises

July 26, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Edgar-Wright2After his last minute departure from Ant-Man, Edgar Wright has had to look around for other things to do. It’s already been revealed that he plans to shoot one of his long-gestating projects next, the action crime flick Baby Driver, and now he’s signed on for a new one.

He signed up for Sony Pictures’ Grasshopper Jungle, based on Andrew Smith Dutton’s young adult novel, according to Deadline.

Scott Rosenberg will write the screenplay, which is a coming-of-age story about an Iowa teenager, who think his worst problem is confusion over his sexual identity, as he can’t tell whether he’s in love with his friend Robby or his girlfriend, Shann. However things get decidedly more complicated when he and Robby accidentally unleash a deadly, genetically engineered plague of 6-foot-tall praying mantises.

The bugs ‘live a life the boys could only dream of, acting out on their insatiable appetites for food, fighting and fornicating’.

While with most Hollywood films we’d worry the issue around sexual identity would be erased for the screen, with Wright at the helm it’s hopeful they will remain and become a major part of the movie.

It’s believed Wright will shoot the movie directly after Baby Driver

The Full Avengers: Age Of Ultron Concept Art Poster Is Here

July 26, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

avengers-comic-con-poster10Yesterday we posted four Avengers: Age Of Ultron concept art posters, and now we’ve got the other four, which all piece together to make the giant battle poster above.

The new posters feature Aaron Taylor-Johnson as Quicksilver, Mark Ruffalo’s Hulk, Jeremy Renner as Hawkeye and Chris Hemsworth’s Thor. And if you look at the Quicksilver pic you’ll notice someone floating about in the background, which is believed to be Vision.

Vision is the sentient, embodied version of Paul Bettany’s Jarvis, Tony Stark’s assistant. However it’s now known what side he’ll be on, or whether as in the comics he is created by villainous Ultron, which is other Stark tech designed to help mankind when the Avengers aren’t around, but which goes rogue and causes all manner of trouble.

Take a look at the posters above and below.

The First Official Pic Of Gal Gadot As Wonder Woman Is Here

July 26, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

batman-vs-superman-wonder-womanAt Comic Con today Henry Cavill, Ben Affleck and Gal Gadot took to the Hall H to a rapturous reception in order to talk about Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice.

Things went into overdrive when the audience was shown a special teaser, giving them a look at Affleck as Batman, with fans suggesting the footage suggested the the hero is styled very closely to how he looked in Frank Miller’s The Dark Knight Rises. There’s no news on whether that teaser will be released outside Comic Con, but Zack Snyder did ensure there was something for those not in San Diego – the first official image of Gal Gadot in full costume as Wonder Woman.

I doubt the outfit will please feminists (indeed there’s a slightly Michael Bay female-fetishism about it), but it does look cool, and hopefully in the film she’ll get to kick ass and we’ll forget she apparently was concerned more about her costume’s sex-appeal than it’s ability to help her do her job.

Take a good look at it above.

Saint Laurent Trailer – Take a look at Gaspard Ulliel in 2014’s 2nd biopic of the gay fashion designer

July 25, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Saint-Laurent-Gaspard-Uriel-poster-slideThis year we’ve already has one biopic of Yves Saint Laurent, which arrived on DVD in the UK a couple of weeks ago (and you can read our review here). However that’s not the only one, as another, simply title Saint Laurent, is on its way, and the trailer has now arrived.

While Yves Saint Laurent starring Pierre Niney in the title role was an ‘official’ movie, backed by the fashion designer’s lover, Pierre Bergé, and using clothes from the vault of YSL, Saint Laurent is a more independent affair.

The film stars Gaspard Ulliel (Hannibal Rising) in the title role, with Jérémie Renier (In Bruges) as Bergé. The likes of Louis Garrel (The Dreamers), Lea Seydoux (Blue Is The Warmest Colour), and Helmut Berger also star.

The movie, which charts Saint Laurent’s rise to the top of the fashion world, recently premiered at Cannes and will be in cinemas later this year. Unfortunately the trailer is in French, but if you don’t speak the language you can bask in the style. [Read more…]

Space Station 76 Trailer – Matt Bomer gropes Liv Tyler and Patrick Wilson goes bisexual

July 25, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

space-station-76-slideAfter its recent Outfest screening, the full trailer for Space Station 76 has arrived, and it looks like it might be a lot of fun. Out actor Jack Plotnick wrote and directed the movie, which has a great cast including Patrick Wilson, Matt Bomer and Live Tyler.

Described as being set in a 1970s version of the future, Liv Tyler plays a new assistant captain whose arrival causes tension amongst the crew, while Patrick Wilson is the bitter and suicidal captain (who is also bisexual). Bomer meanwhile is a technician with a robotic hand who is married to a manipulative woman, played by Marisa Coughlan. The likes of Jerry O’Connell, Justin Theroux and Matthew Morrison also star.

As you can see from the trailer below, it’s set in a 1970s version of the future.

Plotnick has previously said, “People think that the 1970s were about the discos and the free love, but in the suburbs you were left feeling, ‘Where’s the party?’ So the emotional story is what I felt in the ’70s. My parents weren’t happy together and they stuck it out for the kids. It’s an homage to them. And in one way, I think we’re like these solitary ships in space trying to connect.” [Read more…]

Daniel Radcliffle Gets The Horns In A New Poster, Plus The First Pics Of Rupert Friend In Hitman: Agent 47

July 25, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

horns-comic-con-posterWith the arrival of Comic Con a huge array of new pics and posters have arrived, many of which we’ve already posted. However there are always more and so above we’ve got a new poster for the Daniel Radcliffe movie Horns, along with a banner and the first pics from Hitman: Agent 47 below.

In Horns, ‘Ig Perrish (Daniel Radcliffe) is accused for the violent rape and killing of his girlfriend, Merrin Williams (Juno Temple). After a hard night of drinking, Ig awakens, hungover, to find horns growing out of his head; they have the ability to drive people to confess sins and give in to selfish impulses. Ig decides to use this effective tool to discover the circumstances of his girlfriend’s death and to seek revenge by finding the true murderer.’ It’ll be in cinemas later this year.

Hitman: Agent 47 meanwhile is a reboot of the videogame-to-film franchise, with Rupert Friend taking over the role of the shaven-headed title character. He’s featured in all the pics (which arrived via IGN), while one also has Hannah Ware as Katia. Zachary Quinto also stars in the film, which will be in theatres early next year.
