After the end of the First World War, former soldier Tom Sherbourne (Michael Fassbender) takes a job as the keeper of an isolated lighthouse off the coast of Australia. While he’s hoping for some time alone, he’s surprised to find romance with the young Isabel (Alicia Vikander), who soon becomes his wife. Their happiness on the remote island is hampered by the fact she loses several children during pregnancy.
Fate then intervenes when a boat washes up on the shore with a dead man and a live baby in it. While Tom knows he must signal the mainland about this unexpected development, his wife realises that if they stay silent, no one is likely to question whether the child was theirs or not. After deciding to keep the baby girl, Tom accidentally discovers whose child it really is, and that there’s a grieving mother on the mainland. [Read more…]
A few weeks ago we posted about the fact the gay-themed web series 
Brian Jordan Alvarez and Stephanie Koenig created something special in the world of gay-themed web series with 
Deadpool 2 will be introducing us to some more new mutants we haven’t seen on the big screen before, and one who’ll be taking a major role is Domino, the expert marksman whose abilities allow her to alter the laws of probability, allowing her to control things such as bullets that are in her field of vision. While a few name have been rumoured for the role, it’s now been revealed that Zazie Beetz will take on the role.
There’s been much discussion about the lack of decent roles written for women and about the fact few major movies have been directed by women. However, Below Her Mouth has turned the male-dominated paradigm on its head, with a movie about women, where the entire crew was also female.
While it was clear before Jurassic World was released, that plenty of people were keen for another Jurassic Park movie, but few people expected it to be so successful it would gross $1.6 billion, and become the third highest grossing movie ever worldwide (although it’s since been overtaken by The Force Awakens). It also ensured that another movie would be made, and now shooting on Jurassic World 2 is underway.
Video game to movie adaptations may not have a great reputation, but Hollywood can’t give up on the idea that their might be a lot of money to be made from them. One of the latest that’s in the work, is a movie version of Just Cause.
One of the more intriguing of Disney’s planned live-action adaptations is Dumbo, partly due to having Tim Burton in the directing chair, and partly due to the fact in the original animated movie, the main character couldn’t talk, even though various other animals could. It’ll be interesting to see how they handle it on the big-screen, and exactly what the expanded role for the human characters will be.
