Eastsiders’ Kit Williamson & Lisa Kudrow Teaming For Gay-Themed Legal Show

November 1, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

kit-williamsonThe TV shows that are hoping get picked up next year are starting to line up, and that includes Rebel Law, which brings together a creative team including EastSiders co-creator Kit Williamson, former Royal Pains showrunner Michael Rauch, along with Lisa Kudrow and Dan Bucatinsky.

Kit Williamson has also been writing the pilot, according to Deadline, which ‘centers on an openly gay attorney who returns home to Mississippi to join his family’s multi-generational law practice where they work through their personal and political differences both inside and outside the courtroom’.

Williamson, who married John Halbach earlier this year, is, of course, also an actor, known for the likes of Eastsiders and Mad Men. However, it’s not mentioned whether he’s also likely to star in the show, or will just executive produce it. At the moment though it’s early days for Rebel Law, as while CBS is developing the show under its deal with Michael Rauch, it’s far from deciding whether it will make it to air.

Evan Peters Will Be One Of The American Animals In A New Heist Movie

November 1, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

evan-petersEvan Peters has gained a lot of fans thanks to his recurring roles in American Horror Story, and as Quicksilver in the last two X-Men movie. Now he’s got a new movie part, as it’s been announced at the American Film Market that he’s set to set in American Animals, according to Variety.

The movie ‘will focus on the unbelievable but mostly true story of four young men who mistook their lives for a movie and attempted one of the most audacious heists in U.S. history.’ At the moment Peters is the only actor announced for the movie, but the makers with be looking for three more young men for the other main roles.

Bart Layton, who directed the excellent, BAFTA-winning docu-drama The Imposter, is set to direct the movie from his own script. It’s set to start shooting early next year.

Disney Planning Live-Action Musical Version Of Snow White

November 1, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

snow-whiteIn the last few years we’ve had a few live-action Snow White movies, most notably Mirror Mirror and Snow White & The Huntsman. However, that hasn’t put Disney off adding the classic fariytale to their ever-lengthening roster of their classic animated movies they hope to turn live-action.

Like the upcoming Beauty & The Beast, with this film they hope to use some of the classic music and songs from the groundbreaking 1937 Snow White & The Seven Dwarves, but with some new music and a new feel. To do that they’ve hired Erin Cressida Wilson, who initially seems an unexpected hire, as her resume includes decidedly non-Disney films such as Secretary, Fur, and The Girl On The Train. However, with a feminist voice and interest in women who don’t follow the rules, she could be an interesting choice.

They’ve also snapped up Benj Pasek and Justin Paul, who most recently wrote the songs for the Oscar-tipped La La Land with Emma Stone and Ryan Gosling, to write the new music and rework the old. No director is currently attached and it’s not clear when Disney might be hoping to get it in cinemas.

This is actually the second Snow White related movie Disney has put in the works, and earlier this year they started working on Rose Red, about Snow’s sister. In that revisionist take, Snow White’s estranged sister, Rose Red, must undertake a dangerous quest with Grumpy and the other dwarves after Snow takes a bite of a poisoned apple, to find a way to break the curse and bring Snow White back to life. There’s the possibility therefore that Disney may be thinking of this as a franchise, with live-action films telling both tale.

Elvis & Nixon (DVD Review)

October 30, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Starring: Michael Shannon, Kevin Spacey, Alex Pettyfer, Evan Peters, Colin Hanks
Director: Liza Johnson
Running Time: 84 mins
Certificate: 15
Release Date: October 31st 2016 (UK)

Elvis & Nixon is a movie spun out from a single moment – a meeting between Elvis Presley and President Richard Nixon in December 1970, which resulted in a picture of the two of them, which is apparently the most requested image from the US National Archive. Here we get Michael Shannon as a surprisingly good Elvis, and Kevin Spacey as a slightly more human Nixon that we might be used to.

The movie picks up a while before the meeting, with Elvis fed up with the direction the country is heading – he doesn’t like hippies, the anti-Vietnam protests or The Beatles – so he decides he wants to become a Federal Agent and go undercover to help sort things out. While Elvis is used to having people around who organise his life for him, he decides he’s got to sort this out himself, reaching out to his long-time friend, Jerry (Alex Pettyfer), to help him.

Gods Of Egypt (Blu-ray Review)

October 30, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Starring: Brenton Thwaites, Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, Gerard Butler, Geoffrey Rush
Director: Alex Proyas
Running Time: 126 mins
Certificate: 12
Release Date: October 24th 2016 (UK)

When it was first announced, Gods Of Egypt sounded like it could be a fun and interesting movie, with the Egyptian Gods living alongside man in a pretty fantasy sci-fi way. However, it was rather stillborn at the cinema, with terrible reviews and just $31 at the US Box Office, despite costing $140 million to make. It also got a lot of bad PR for being a film about Egypt, where nearly all the major characters are white, except for Chadwick Boseman’s Thoth.

The film kicks off with Osiris (Bryan Brown) being about to hand the job of ruling Egypt to his son, Horus (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau). However, Osiris’ aggrieved brother, Set (Gerard Butler), has other ideas, interrupting the ceremony, killing his sibling and stealing Horus’ eyes. The power-hungry Set takes over, plunging the country into chaos as a result. [Read more…]

Tom Hardy Set To Be Al Capone In A New Biopic

October 30, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Tom-HardyIt looks like Tom Hardy is hoping to get his gangster on once more, as Variety reports that he’s set to play Al Capone in the movie Fonzo. Chronicle helmer Josh Trank, who some thought might have difficulty getting another job after the failure of Fantastic Four, is set to direct from his own script.

Capone was a ‘bootlegger and brutal gangster who ruled Chicago during Prohibition. The federal government successfully prosecuted him for tax evasion in 1931 and he was convicted and sentenced to 11 years in prison. He was released after eight years and died at the age of 48 in 1947 as dementia rotted his brain and harrowing memories of his violent and brutal origins melt into his waking life.’ The movie will follow him at the end of his life, when he’s 47.

The movie will be looking for buyers at the American Film Market next week. It’s not known when the film might shoot.

Tom Cruise Will Be Methuselah & Live Almost A 1,000 Years

October 30, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

tom-cruiseIn the last few years, Hollywood has had a growing interest in biblical movies, despite a very mixed record at the box office. That continues with the news, via Deadline, that Tom Cruise is attached to play Old Testament patriarch Methuselah in an upcoming movie.

Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales co-director Joachim Rønning is set to helm the film, with Harry Potter producer David Heyman helping to oversee the project.

Methuselah is best known for being the oldest person in the Bible, which says he lived 969 years. The film will apparently cover the man’s entire life, which apparently helped him gain a “set of unparalleled survival skills.” Methuselah is actually only mentioned once in the Bible, which gives us his very long lifespan, and the fact that he’s Noah grandfather.

Outside the Bible, Methuselah is said have found out about the Great Flood from Enoch, and then helped his grandson build the Ark and warn people of the coming catastrophe. It’s also said that he had a great sword that conquered evils and ghosts. At the moment it’s not known which of these elements the movie will incorporate.

A Will & Grace Revival Is In The Works, But Will It Actually Happen?

October 27, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

will-and-grace-2016When the first new episode of Will & Grace arrived in September, made to tie in to the US general election and suggest perhaps voting Trump isn’t a good idea, all four cast members seemed open to at least thinking about being involved in a revival. Well, their comments and the success of the mini-episode on Youtube must have gotten the bigwigs at NBC thinking, as THR reports the network is in talks for a revival.

It’s too early to get excited yet, as it’s very early days, as no deals exist with any of the four main cast members or producers/creators David Kohan and Max Mutchnick (all of whom would need to agree to it). And while NBC are interested, if there is a reboot, it could end up elsewhere, with streaming services potentially stepping up with a more lucrative deal. If it does happen – whether on NBC or elsewhere – it’s likely to be for a limited eight or 10 episode run.

Indeed, during interviews while making the new episode, Debra Messing suggested streaming may be the way to go, saying, “Now there are platforms where you can do six or 10 episodes. I don’t believe we would ever come back to network [TV] again. I think that the logistics of all of our lives, there would just be way too many things to hammer out. But for something shorter-lived and maybe having the limitations of being on network TV lifted may give us a fun, fresh opportunity because we could be really, really naughty!”

Eric McCormack seemed more reticent, seemingly because he’s worried about trampling on the legacy of the original show, but even he said, “I’m sure we would all be open to talking about it.”

Sean Hayes and Mega Mullally also appeared open to at least considering it. However, that’s a long way from saying it’s going to happen, but we’re certainly a lot closer to a new season that most ever expected us to be.

Tom Hanks Wants To Be Channing Tatum’s Lover In The Remake Of Splash

October 27, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

tom-hanksI think it’s safe to say that he wasn’t being 100% serious, but Tom Hanks has said he’s very happy with the idea of remaking Splash, and if they do, he should appear in it and play Channing Tatum’s boyfriend. It was revealed back in August that Tatum is attached to a gender swapped remake of Splash, where he will be a merman, with his 22 Jump Street co-star Jillian Bell in the equivalent to Hanks’ human role in the 1984 original.

However, Hanks has a different idea, where he’ll steal Tatum from Bell.

Talking to AP at the US premiere of Inferno about whether he’d be willing to play Allen Bauer in the remake, he said, “No one asked me! I’m all in favor of it. Why not? That’s fine! I figure if they were really going to be bold, I would come back as Allen Bauer, and I would go off with Channing Tatum. That would be a bold movie, and I am suggesting it right now. Put THAT on your APwire.”

While I think it’s unlikely we’ll see Tatum and Hanks running off together, it certainly seems like he’d entertain the idea of making an appearance in the new version of Splash (and perhaps they can bring Darryl Hannah back). The movie may also retain the original director, Ron Howard (who also, of course, directed Hanks in Inferno), but he’s waiting to see the script and schedule before he decides.

Where The Bears Are: S5 Eps10-16 – The sexy, burly, gay guys’ latest season concludes

October 26, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

where-the-bears-are-s5It’s hard to believe, but another fun season of Where The Bears Are has come to an end. We’re a bit behind though, as in our last post we’d only got up to Episode 9, and since then eps 10 to 16 have arrived. You can take a look at them below.

The new episodes include Reggie and Todd finding themselves in the middle of a gay reparative therapy session, before the Bears head off to Mexico for more adventures. That includes a special extra-long episode to finish things off where ‘Nelson, Todd, Winters and Martinez form the Wild Bear Bunch and descend upon a remote Mexican village right out of a spaghetti western film in order to rescue Reggie and Wood from Victor Garcia’s clutches, but the menacing crime lord has no intention of allowing any of them to leave the country alive once he has the thumb drive in his possession.’

It all sounds very dramatic, but of course funny too. Watch Season 5 Episodes 10 to 16 below, and click here to catch up on earlier S5 episodes. [Read more…]
