New Star Trek Into Darkness Trailer – Chris Pine & Benedict Cumberbatch get personal

April 17, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment


I think it’s safe to say that Benedict Cumberbatch won’t be playing a very nice person in Star Trek Into Darkness. Indeed this trailer suggests he’s going to be one of the biggest threats the Star Trek universe has ever seen.

It certainly looks like the film is going to be intense and explosive, with things getting personal between Chris Pine’s Captain Kirk and Cumberbatch’s John Harrison, even if that means the Enterprise crashing to earth and Starfleet on the edge of all out war.

Here’s the synopsis: Here’s the film’s synopsis: ‘In summer 2013, pioneering director J.J. Abrams will deliver an explosive action thriller that takes Star Trek Into Darkness. When the crew of the Enterprise is called back home, they find an unstoppable force of terror from within their own organization has detonated the fleet and everything it stands for, leaving our world in a state of crisis.

‘With a personal score to settle, Captain Kirk leads a manhunt to a war-zone world to capture a one man weapon of mass destruction. As our heroes are propelled into an epic chess game of life and death, love will be challenged, friendships will be torn apart, and sacrifices must be made for the only family Kirk has left: his crew.’

The film is out May 9th in the UK and May 17th in the US. There’s also a new Kirk character poster, which you can see below.

New Man Of Steel Trailer – Clark Kent is getting intense & battling General Zod

April 17, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment


The first trailers for Man Of Steel were certainly moody, but light on plot and action, but they’ve certainly made up for that with the latest promo, which suggests that the film will be as full of special effects and explosions as you’d expect. It’s a big blowout of a trailer, suggesting the film’s going to have a fairly serious tone, but offer a lot on the spectacle front.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘From Warner Bros. Pictures and Legendary Pictures comes “Man of Steel,” starring Henry Cavill (“Immortals,” TV’s “The Tudors”) in the role of Clark Kent/Superman, under the direction of Zack Snyder (“300,” “Watchmen”).

‘A young boy learns that he has extraordinary powers and is not of this Earth.  As a young man, he journeys to discover where he came from and what he was sent here to do.  But the hero in him must emerge if he is to save the world from annihilation and become the symbol of hope for all mankind.

‘The film also stars four-time Oscar® nominee Amy Adams (“The Master”) as Daily Planet journalist Lois Lane, and Oscar® nominee Laurence Fishburne (“What’s Love Got to Do with It”) as her editor-in-chief, Perry White.  Starring as Clark Kent’s adoptive parents, Martha and Jonathan Kent, are Oscar® nominee Diane Lane (“Unfaithful”) and Academy Award® winner Kevin Costner (“Dances with Wolves”).

‘Squaring off against the superhero are two other surviving Kryptonians, the villainous General Zod, played by Oscar® nominee Michael Shannon (“Revolutionary Road”), and Faora, Zod’s evil partner, played by Antje Traue (upcoming “The Seventh Son”).  Also from Superman’s native Krypton are Lara Lor-Van, Superman’s mother, played by Ayelet Zurer (“Angels and Demons”), and Superman’s father, Jor-El, portrayed by Academy Award® winner Russell Crowe (“Gladiator”).’

The film’s out June 14th.

First The Hunger Games: Catching Fire Trailer – ‘She has become a beacon of hope for them, she has to be eliminated’

April 15, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment


With the MTV Movie Awards comes the first trailer for The Hunger Games: Catching Fire, which I’m sure will have a lot of people very excited. It’s a good intro to the second movie, that manages to intrigue while hiding the big reveal of the main section of the plot.

The trailer sets up the fact that following Katniss and Peeta’s Hunger Games victory, dissent has grown in the districts and she’s now seen as a major threat by the Capitol and they want her out of the way. Indeed, President Snow doesn’t just seem to think Katniss needs to be eliminated. If you’ve read the book you’ll know what that means, although I won’t spoil it if you don’t know, although there are hints in this trailer.

The film is out this November. [Read more…]

Vicious Trailer – Take a look at Ian McKellen and Derek Jacobi’s new gay sitcom

April 13, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment


British sitcoms can’t normally claim major international star power, but Vicious brings together gay acting legends Ian McKellen and Derek Jacobi and also features the likes of Frances De La Tour (who no Brits will recognise as Harry Potter’s Madame Maxime) and Misfits star Iwan Rheon.

The sitcom sees McKellen and Jacobi as an ageing gay couple, Freddie and Stuart, living in London’s Covent Garden, who still aren’t ‘out’ despite being together for 48 years. De La Tour plays the couple’s feisty best friend Violet, while Rheon is their new neighbour, Ash.

The series was co-created by Will & Grace writer Gary Janetti and award-winning playwright Mark Ravenhill, with Ed Bye (Red Dwarf) directing. There’s no definite air date set for the show yet, but it’s expected to his UK screens towards the end on April. [Read more…]

The Hangover Part III Trailer – The Wolf Pack are back in Vegas

April 12, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment


The Hangover Part III hits cinemas on May 23rd (in the UK too, as the date has been moved up a couple of weeks), and to get us interested a new trailer has been released. This one has a bit more plot, with the guys staging an intervention to get Alan (Zach Galifianakis) some help, but things go pear shaped when a heavy (John Goodman) forces the Wolf Pack to find Mr Chow (Ken Jeong), he says has stolen over $20 million from him.

That results in the boys back in Vegas for one final blowout and plenty more madness.

It certainly looks fun and that perhaps this will be the franchise will be going out with a bang.

G.B.F. Trailer – Everyone wants a gay best friend in the new teen comedy

April 11, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment


A few weeks ago we posted a behind-the-scenes look at the new comedy G.B.F. Well, now it’s time for the trailer, which makes the movie look like it’s going to be a lot of fun. The film premieres at the Tribeca Film Festival on April 19th, but you can get a taste of the movie above.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘G.B.F. tells the story of two closeted best friends, Tanner (Michael J. Willett, United States of Tara) and Brent (Paul Iacono, The Hard Times of R.J. Berger). Brent longs for the spotlight and has a plan that will make him the most popular kid in school. He believes that coming out will make him instantly popular, as the newest must-have teen girl “accessory”: The G.B.F. (Gay Best Friend). Tanner on the other hand, would rather fly under the radar and graduate from high school without ever being noticed.

‘When things don’t go according to plan and Tanner is outed instead of Brent, the two boys go from B.F.F.s to instant frenemies and the three most popular girls in school — queen-of-mean bombshell Fawcett (Sasha Pieterse, Pretty Little Liars), drama club diva Caprice (Xosha Roquemore, Precious) and sweet, Mormon good-girl ‘Shley (Andrea Bowen, Desperate Housewives) launch an all-out social war to win Tanner’s status-enhancing friendship.’

Hopefully it’ll get a more general release later this year. [Read more…]

TOM Trailer – Into the world of homoerotic artist Tom Of Finland

April 10, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment


Touko Laaksonen, better known as Tom Of Finland, became a bit of a gay legend with his illustrations of often leather-clad men with massive bulges engaging in all manner of homoerotic shenanigans. While his imagery is instantly recognisable to many, not many know anything about the man himself – other than the fact he comes from Finland.

Now a new movie, TOM, is coming to tell us more about the man, and the first trailer has  arrived, which is essentially a lengthy clip from the film, showing Tom trying to get through airport security. It’s not a traditional trailer as the movie hasn’t been filmed yet. Instead the promo is designed to drum up interest and hopefully secure funding and distribution rights.

The plan is to shot TOM next year, for release in 2015. You can find out more about the movie on its Facebook page.

And if you’re interested in Tom Of Finland, take a look at his Wikipedia entry. [Read more…]

Elysium Trailer – Major sci-fi class warfare between Matt Damon and Jodie Foster

April 10, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment


As we were promised, the trailer for Elysium has arrived, which is presumably so that it can get some interest just as Oblivion is released, which at least superficially seems to be rather similarly themed. It certainly look pretty cool, with great visual and an interesting idea behind it.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘In the year 2159 two classes of people exist: the very wealthy who live on a pristine man-made space station called Elysium, and the rest, who live on an overpopulated, ruined Earth. Secretary Rhodes (Jodie Foster), a hard line government official will stop at nothing to enforce anti-immigration laws and preserve the luxurious lifestyle of the citizens of Elysium. That doesn’t stop the people of Earth from trying to get in, by any means they can. When unlucky Max (Matt Damon) is backed into a corner, he agrees to take on a daunting mission that if successful will not only save his life, but could bring equality to these polarized worlds.’

Neill Blomkamp’s film hits US cinemas on August 9th and will arrive in the UK in September.

Matt Damon & Michael Douglas Sparkle In Behind The Candelabra Trailer

April 9, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment


We’ve had a short promo for HBO’s Liberace biopic, Behind The Candelabra, and now it’s been followed by a full trailer, giving us our best look yet as Michael Douglas and the flamboyant pianist and Matt Damon as he is lover, Scottie Thorson.

Douglas look remarkably like Liberace and Damon hasn’t looked as hot in a long time. Indeed, you might want to repeat the bit where he gets out of a pool a few times.

Here’s the official synopsis: ‘Before Elvis, before Elton John, Madonna and Lady Gaga, there was Liberace: virtuoso pianist, outrageous entertainer and flamboyant star of stage and television. A name synonymous with showmanship, extravagance and candelabras, he was a world renowned performer with a flair that endeared him to his audiences and created a loyal fan base spanning his 40-year career. Liberace lived lavishly and embraced a lifestyle of excess both on and off stage. In summer 1977, handsome young stranger Scott Thorson walked into his dressing room and, despite their age difference and seemingly different worlds, the two embarked on a secretive five-year love affair. BEHIND THE CANDELABRA takes a behind-the-scenes look at their tempestuous relationship — from their first meeting backstage at the Las Vegas Hilton to their bitter and public break-up.’

It’ll screen on HBO in the US on May 27th and will hopefully reach the rest of the world shortly afterwards. [Read more…]
