Tom Hiddleston Will Show Off His Singing Skills In I Saw the Light

June 13, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Tom-HiddlestonWhile many people would be happy if Tom Hiddleston just popped up in every movie as Loki, he’s going to show off some new skills in I Saw The Light, as he’ll be playing country music legend Hank Williams, according to Deadline.

The biopic will chart Williams’ quick rise to fame, as well as the toll it took on his personal life (just one day I want a music biopic where someone becomes famous and doesn’t have a terrible time because of it). The musician is best known for hit songs such as Your Cheatin’ Heart, I’m So Lonesome I Could Cry and Hey Good Lookin, so it’ll give Hiddleston a chance to show off his singing skill. Williams tragically passed away at the age of 29 from heart failure.

Marc Abraham is directing from his own screenplay, which is based on Colin Escott’s biography. The producers have also made a deal for the rights to Hank Williams’ music catalogue for use in the film, which should add a touch of authenticity. Shooting will begin in October.

New Paddington Trailer – Michael Bond’s bear is headed to the big screen

June 12, 2014 By Tim Isaac 1 Comment

paddington-preview-pic2After a couple of images yesterday, we can now get our best look yet at the live-action/CG version of Paddington with a full trailer. Unlike previous promos, this one shows the bear in action, and it’s actually more effective than I thought it might be.

Here’s the official synopsis: ‘From the producer of Harry Potter and Gravity, Paddington comes to the big screen for the first time in an epic new adventure.

‘Featuring an all-star cast and effects courtesy of award-winning VFX company Framestore, Paddington is THE big family film of Christmas.

‘Voted Best Animated Character at the 2012 British Animation Awards, and adapted from Michael Bond’s beloved books, Paddington follows the comic misadventures of a polite young bear with an endearing talent for comic chaos.

‘Paddington has grown up deep in the Peruvian jungle with his Aunt Lucy who, inspired by a chance encounter with an English explorer, has raised her nephew to dream of an exciting life in London. When an earthquake destroys their home, Aunt Lucy decides to smuggle her young nephew on board a boat bound for England, in search of a better life. Arriving alone at Paddington Station, Paddington soon finds that city life is not all he had imagined – until he meets the kindly Brown family, who find him with a label tied around his neck which reads ‘Please look after this bear. Thank you.’ They offer him a temporary home whilst he searches for the explorer who impressed Aunt Lucy all those years before.

‘But when Paddington catches the eye of a sinister, seductive taxidermist, it isn’t long before his home – and very existence – is under threat.’

Paddington is released in UK cinemas November 28th. [Read more…]

It’s Two Tom Hardys For The Price Of One (Including A Bisexual One) In The First Pic From Legend

June 12, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Tom-Hardy-LegendThe crime thriller Legend started shooting this week and to get us excited the first pic has been released, via ThePlaylist, which shows us not one but two Tom Hardys, as he’s playing both of the infamous London gangsters the Kray Twins.

The film will ‘chart the tortured and unique relationship between gangsters Ronald and Reginald Kray, the identical twin brothers infamous for their criminal exploits in London during the 1950s and 1960s… The script takes in associates, rivals – such as notorious gangster Jack “the Hat” McVitie, who was murdered by Reginald in 1967 – politician Lord Boothby, and the brothers’ nemesis in the police force, DS Leonard “Nipper” Read, who made it his life’s ambition to put the Krays behind bars.’

The brothers were involved in armed robberies, arson, protection rackets, assaults, and several murders, and became infamous in the Swinging Sixties, mixing with celebs and giving off an aura of immunity. However they were eventually arrested in 1968 and sentenced to life in prison.

In the pic, Ronnie is the one with glasses and Reggie is the one without. What’s not known is how the film will deal with the sexuality of Reggie Kray, who was bisexual (while some say he exclusively slept with men, he identified as bisexual). He is believed to have been quite open about this even at the height of his gangster exploits. However it is known the film will deal with him trying to keep his brothers’ psychotic tendencies in check.

Chris Pratt Looks Exceptionally Hunky In New Jurassic World Pics

June 12, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

jurassic-world-pic1With a Jurassic Park movie, you expect dinosaurs, but as the movie is still in production we’ll forgive them for showing off the human side in a trio of new pics that have arrived, as they probably haven’t had too much time to sort out the effects for Jurassic World yet.

We have to say though, Chris Pratt is looking good as a scientist doing research into raptors on the island we were introduced to in the first movie. It’s now a fully functional theme park, but as you may have guessed, with dinosaurs around there’s bound to be havoc.

Bryce Dallas Howard plays a very smartly dressed woman who’s also believed to be some kind of scientist (with some reports suggesting she may be related to John Hammons). In the bottom pic are the youngsters who’ll inevitably end up in peril, Nick Robinson and Ty Simpkins.

The film is due out next year.

Resurrection’s Matt Craven Heads To Roland Emmerich’s Gay Right Drama Stonewall

June 11, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Matt-CravenFilming has now begun on Roland Emmerich’s gay rights drama Stonewall, but according to Deadline he’s still adding to the cast with the news that Resurrection and Justified’s Matt Craven has signed on.

Jeremy Irvine, Caleb Landry Jones, Jonathan Rhys Meyers, Ron Perlman and Joey King star in the movie, which centre around Irvine’s Danny, a young man whose political awakening happens against the backdrop of the 1969 Stonewall Riots, which have since become a touchstone for the gay rights struggle. Caleb Landry Jones will play an eccentric gay street hustler named Orphan Annie who at first resists then warms up to Danny and later participates in the Stonewall uprising.

Craven is gonna play a rather conflicted, as he’s Deputy Seymour Pine, the leader of the police force that raided the Stonewall Inn sparking the riots. He sympathises with the gay community but must carry out his duties, which in the 60s included arresting people just for being gay.

The film is currently shooting in Toronto, ahead of a release next year.

To evade the ever-persistent Ronan, Quill is forced into an uneasy truce with a quartet of disparate misfits—Rocket, a gun-toting raccoon, Groot, a tree-like humanoid, the deadly and enigmatic Gamora and the revenge-driven Drax the Destroyer. But when Quill discovers the true power of the orb and the menace it poses to the cosmos, he must do his best to rally his ragtag rivals for a last, desperate stand—with the galaxy’s fate in the balance.

Mindy Cohn & Tamlyn Tomita Set For Gay Moms LGBT Short Operation Marriage, & It Wants Your Help

June 10, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

operation-marriage-picActress Mindy Cohn (The Facts of Life, Scooby Doo) and Tamlyn Tomita (The Joy Luck Club, Glee) are attached to play two gay moms in Quentin Lee’s (director of White Frog and Ethan Mao) upcoming non-profit educational short film, Operation Marriage, for children worldwide.

Based on Cynthia Chin-Lee’s children’s book, Operation Marriage is the story told from a child’s point-of-view about an eight-year-old girl and her little brother trying to get their two moms married before Proposition 8 goes into effect.

Operation Marriage represents the perspective of kids of LGBT parents rarely seen in literature or popular media. A film for children worldwide, it’s a universal story of family about LGBT rights, marriage equality, and having an alternative family.

While the film aspires to be a piece of art, it is also public service announcement and an historical document of a particular moment in time in world history. It is a testament to our past and continual fight for human rights.

The film is being produced through producer Alan Reade’s Text Engine Productions. US tax-deductible donations can be made through the artist crowdfunding website hatchfund.org: http://www.hatchfund.org/project/operation_marriage

Text Engine Productions plans to produce the film this summer, and it will be released online for free in the fall for kids worldwide and for anyone to download it as an educational tool to advocate for LGBT rights, marriage equality, or forming alternative families. [Read more…]
