Has A New Season Of Will & Grace Been Confirmed?

January 2, 2017 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Ever since the stars of Will & Grace came back together for a mini-episode in support of Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign, there’s been talk about NBC being interested in bringing the show back for a 10-episode run. More recently Megan Mullally has suggested it’s close to happening, while Eric McCormack hinted that while the actors were up for it, they were waiting on NBC.

However, if Leslie Jordan is to be believed, the show’s return is definitely happening. Jordan played Karen’s social rival Beverlie Leslie in the series, becoming a bit of a fan favourite in the process, as well as winning an Emmy for the role. In a recent interview with radio station KPBS, the actor/comedian said, “It’s back! Here’s the way it works: [NBC] has ordered 10 [episodes]. It’ll be for next season, so they’ll go in in July.”

Although that sounds like pretty firm confirmation, we should probably wait for an official announcement before we get too excited, although Mullally’s recent comments have been very positive. However, as Jordan plays a side-character, while he’s probably been contacted, he may not have been involved in the final negotiations or party to decisions firsthand.

Big Gay Picture Show’s Top 10 LGBT- Themed Films Of 2016

December 30, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

2016 is drawing to a close, and with endless celebrity deaths and political tumult, a lot of people will be glad to see the back of it. However, there have been some great LGBT-films doing the rounds, and it’s time for us to round up what we think are our Top 10 of the year. There’s certainly plenty of films below that are worth checking out.

To be in for consideration, BGPS needed to have reviewed the movie over the last 12 months. It should also be noted it’s not based purely on the score out of 10 we gave the movie at the time of the review, but also how we view it in hindsight and whether it’s stuck with us over the months. So take a look below to see what we think is the best of 2016. [Read more…]

Ryan Gosling To Reunite With La La Land Director For Neil Armstrong Biopic

December 30, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

For a couple of years, Whiplash director Damien Chazelle has been attached to a biopic of Neil Armstrong, called First Man. Now he’s found the man to play the main role, as THR reports that he’s set to reteam with his La La Land star Ryan Gosling for the movie.

The film will be based on First Man: A Life of Neil A. Armstrong by James Hansen, which chronicles how NASA managed to put a man on the moon, and how former test pilot Armstrong became that man. Oscar-winning Spotlight co-writer Josh Singer is writing the script.

While it’s not the sort of movie Chazelle has made before, following the tense brilliance of the unexpected Whiplash, and now with many expecting La La Land to make a strong showing at the Oscars, he’s proven he can probably handle anything. Gosling would also seem a good choice for the role, as he’s shown he can turn his hand to most thing. And it’s certainly true that an Armstrong biopic is long overdue.

Before The Fall Trailer – Pride & Prejudice gets reimagined as a gay romantic drama

December 29, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice has long proved popular fodder for entertainment. As well as TV adaptations and Hollywood movies, we’ve had a Marvel comic book, the addition of the undead to the story with Pride & Prejudice & Zombies, a Bollywood-esque rendition in the form of Bride & Prejudice, and plenty of others. Now it’s time for the story to get a little gay with Before The Fall.

Set in modern day West Virginia, Elizabeth Bennett becomes Ben Bennett, ‘an affluent but seemingly arrogant attorney who unknowingly insults Lee Darcy, a detached factory worker wrongly charged with domestic abuse. Both men form an immediate dislike for each other which becomes a significant problem when Ben falls in love with Lee.’ As you can probably tell, that sounds like Before The Fall takes a fairly liberal approach to the original plot, and not just by making the centrepiece romance between two guys.

The movie is currently screening at film festivals. You can check out the trailer below, and head over to the movie’s Facebook page of more info. [Read more…]

First Look At The Animated Captain Underpants Movie

December 29, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Dave Pilkey’s Captain Underpants books have been ridiculously successful, which means that for some smaller people, an animated movie based on it will be very exciting indeed. Now we’ve got our first look at the movie, which Dreamworks Animation will be releasing next summer.

The film will follow two mischievous kids who hypnotize their mean high school principal in order to turn him into their comic book creation, the kind-hearted and elastic-banded Captain Underpants. Ed Helms will be the principal, with Kevin Hart and Thomas Middleditch as the kids.

Expect a trailer for the movie fairly soon. Before then, enjoy the first pic, which first appeared over at EW.

Sausage Party (Blu-ray Review) – Seth Rogen leads some rude, crude, animated food

December 27, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Starring: Bill Hader, Edward Norton, Jonah Hill, Kristen Wiig, Seth Rogen
Director: Conrad Vernon, Greg Tiernan
Running Time: 89 mins
Certificate: 15
Release Date: December 26th 2016 (UK)

Ever since it was first announced, Sausage Party sounded like a completely insane movie, and now it’s here, that judgement has been proven correct. It may also one of the most in-your-face Hollywood releases ever on gay/bisexual front – even if that LGB content does involve animated food.

Frank (Seth Rogen) is a sausage, who’s spent his life in his package in a supermarket, waiting to be picked by the ‘gods’ (aka humans), and taken to The Great Beyond. Every day all the food in the market sing about the joys of The Great Beyond, and how nothing bad could possibly happen to them there. The sausages are also excited because getting picked will finally get them out of their wrappers and sliding into the sexy buns they’ve long flirted with but barely been able to touch. [Read more…]

War Dogs (Blu-ray Review)

December 27, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Starring: Miles Teller, Jonah Hill, Ana De Armas, Bradley Cooper, Kevin Pollak
Director: Todd Phillips
Running Time: 116 mins
Certificate: 15
Release Date: December 26th 2016 (UK)

Life isn’t going as well as young David Packouz (Miles Teller) hoped. He’s stuck offering massages to middle-aged businessmen and wishing for something better. Then his old, rather wild, friend Efraim (Jonah Hill) returns to Miami from LA and offers David an opportunity.

Efraim is using a new government initiative to hopefully get rich. After a few scandals, President George W. Bush has opened up all government contracts to bids from private companies of any size, and that includes defence contracts. Efraim wants David to help him get the smaller arms contracts that the big companies are ignoring. That usually involved helping outfit the Iraqi or Afghani armies rather than the US military itself.

Cafe Society (DVD Review)

December 27, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Starring: Blake Lively, Jesse Eisenberg, Ken Stott, Kristen Stewart, Steve Carell
Director: Woody Allen
Running Time: 94 mins
Certificate: 12
Release Date: December 26th 2016 (UK)

We’ve long reached the point when a new Woody Allen movie isn’t something to get excited about anymore, but it’s also certainly not something to dread either. This year he returns with Café Society, another Allen movie we can add to his recent list of his films that are decent enough, but nothing particularly special.

The director is not on-screen this time (although he does narrate), with Jesse Eisenberg stepping in to be Café Society’s 1930s Woody surrogate, a young Jewish New Yorker called Bobby, who’s a bit lost in life and so decides to head to LA. His Uncle Phil (Steve Carell) is a high-powered movie agent who Bobby hopes can help him get his start. Phil hires Bobby to do odd jobs, which brings him into the sphere of Vonnie (Kristen Stewart).

I Am Michael Trailer – James Franco & Zachary Quinto star in the long-delayed ex-gay drama

December 26, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

It’s almost two years since I Am Michael premiered at the Sundance Film Festival – enough time for director Justin Kelly and producer/star James Franco to have made and released another movie, King Cobra. However, it’s only now that the movie is coming to VoD and a few cinemas in the US in January.

Even the promised threeway between Franco, Zachary Quinto and Charlie Carver couldn’t get it released sooner.

Adapted from Benoit Denizet-Lewis’ New York Times Magazine article ‘My Ex-Gay Friend, I Am Michael tells the real-life story of Michael Glatze (Franco), formerly a leading US journalist for prominent gay magazine XY, and also an activist working for LGBT rights. After a profound and life-changing epiphany, Glatze gradually renounced his homosexuality and turned to Christian ministry, becoming outspokenly opposed to queer lifestyles.

Zachary Quinto plays his ex-boyfriend, Bennett, with Emma Roberts, Daryl Hannah and Charlie Carver also starring.

The film got a rather mixed reaction at cinemas, which perhaps isn’t surprising for a movie that takes on the difficult subject of ex-gay ministry, and makes its ‘hero’ a man who went from gay to outspoken homophobe, and who to this day is married to a woman.

Finally a trailer has been released. Take a look below. [Read more…]

Take Your First Look At Ansel Elgort & Jamie Foxx In Edgar Wright’s Baby Driver

December 26, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Shaun Of The Dead and Scott Pilgrim’s Edgar Wright has been working on Baby Driver for a long time. However, he put it on hold while working on Marvel’s Ant Man, but after his somewhat abrupt departure from that project, he went back to it. However, it’s only now we’re getting out first look with a couple of pic via EW.

It’s something a bit different from Wright, of which the director says, “I always wanted to do an action movie that was powered by music. It’s something that’s very much a part of my previous films and I thought of this idea of how to take that a stage further by having a character who listens to music the entire time. So, you have this young getaway driver who has to soundtrack his entire existence, particularly the bank robberies and fast getaways that come afterwards.”

The film stars Ansel Elgort as a young man who gets coerced into being a getaway driver, but finds himself part of a heist that seems doomed to epic failure. Jamie Foxx, Jon Hamm, Elsa Gonzalez, Kevin Spacey, and Jon Bernthal also star.

It’ll be in cinemas next summer. Take a look at the first pics above and below.
