Six New John Carter Pics Emerge

November 26, 2011 By Movie Muser Leave a Comment


Six new images have debuted from John Carter (via SFX), as Disney ramps up the hype in the hope of making the movie a must see before its debut next March 9th. The pics give us a further insight into the alien world, which does seem to be channeling The Phantom Menace. Hopefully the film will look a little more like its own beast when a new trailer arrived on December 1st. Until then enjoy the Martian creatures and Taylor Kitsch as John Carter showing off his buffness.

Rachel Weisz Boards The Railway Man

November 26, 2011 By Movie Muser Leave a Comment

Colin Firth recently signed on to star in The Railway Man, but since then the only other person who’s come onboard the movie in War Horse star Jeremy Irvine, who’ll play a younger version of the same character. However, now Variety reports that Rachel Weisz has signed on the dottted line to star in the movie.

Director Jonathan Teplitzky’s (Burning Man) film is is based on Eric Lomax’s autobiography, which details his capture by Japanese soldiers in World War II, where he was sent to work on the infamous “death railway” in Burma. The story is split between his capture as a young soldier, and his life as an adult who still can’t fully grasp the torturous experience.

Colin Firth will play the adult Eric Lomax, and Jeremy Irvine will portray the younger version. Rachel Weisz will portray his wife, Patti, who convinces him to set off on a journey to try and reconcile with his former captors.

Shooting starts on The Railway Man in February.

Ben Whishaws Skyfall Character Revealed

November 25, 2011 By Movie Muser Leave a Comment

For a while now we’ve known that Ben Whishaw would be in the new James Bond movie, but even at the recent press conference where the film’s title was announced, director Sam Mendes refused to say exactly who Whishaw would be playing. Now THR has managed to uncover Ben’s role, so if you dont want to know, stop reading now!

Whishaw will be taking over a classic part in the franchise, as he’ll be playing gadget-master Q. The part was famously played by Desmond Llewelyn through most of Bond history (36 years in fact) with John Cleese taking over the role in the Pierce Brosnan era. However since the Daniel Craig reboot, there’s been no sign of Q (in fact the whole tendency towards outlandish gadgets has been downplayed), but now he’s coming back in Skyfall! As the actor is 12 years Craig’s junior, it’ll be the first time Q has been younger than the person playing Bond.

There are still a few other actors, such as Albert Finney and Ralph Fiennes, whose roles in Skyfall are unknown, but expect info to leak out soon.

The movie is currently filming and will hit cinemas October 2012.

Bloody Poster For Jolies Blood & Honey

November 25, 2011 By Movie Muser Leave a Comment

The first poster for Angelina Jolie’s directorial debut, In The Land Of Blood & Honey, has dropped, and it’s a rather arty, graphic number, with a blood-spattered map of the Balkans making the shape of two people preparing to kiss. How nice!

Jolie’s film, which she also wrote, is set during the Bosnian War, and follow Danijel, a soldier fighting for the Serbs, who re-encounters Ajla, a Bosnian who’s now a captive in the camp he oversees. Their once promising connection has become ambiguous now that both their motives have changed.

The film’s getting a late December release in the US, ready for an Oscar run, but not firm UK date has been set yet.

Orange BAFTA Rising Star Longlist Announced – Vote For Your Sexiest!

November 25, 2011 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Ok, ok, we know, the Orange BAFTA Rising Star Award isn’t about who’s the sexiest, it’s about honouring an up and coming young actor whose somewhat broken through in the last 12 months. Let’s face it though, they’re all hotties, and as this award is open to the public vote, you can pretty much guarantee that most of the votes won’t be given on pure acting merit (hence the impressive wooden Kristen Stewart winning a couple of years ago).

Of course, if you do decide to head over to the Orange Wednesday’s Rising Star Award site to say who you want to win, we recommend going for talent, but if you end up ticking Chris Hemsworth’s box just because he’s cute, nobody is going to know (I’m thinking of going fo Jessica Chastain, who put in remarkable performances in the likes of The Help and The Tree Of Life).

The longlist has been announced, and you can see all the entrants in our gallery below (click the pics to make them bigger). The first round of voting is now open, which will be used to whittle it down to a final five, who’ll be announced on January 11th. Orange customers will then be able to vote, and the winner will get their gong at the BAFTA Film Awards in February.

Adam Deacon
Chris Hemsworth
Chris O’Dowd

Eddie Redmayne
Felicity Jones
Jennifer Lawrence

Jessica Chastain
Tom Hiddleston

Orange Wednesdays Rising Star Award Longlist:
Adam Deacon – Anuvahood, 4.3.2.1., Kidulthood
Chris Hemsworth – Thor, Star Trek
Felicity Jones – Like Crazy, Chalet Girl, The Tempest
Tom HIddleston – Thor, Midnight In Paris, The Deep Blue Sea
Jennifer Lawrence – X-Men: First Class, Like Crazy, The Beaver, Winter’s Bone
Chris O’Dowd – Bridesmaids, Gulliver’s Travel, Dinner For Schmucks
Jessica Chastain – The Help, The Debt, The Tree Of Life, Take Shelter

Director Terence Davies Says ‘Being Gay Has Ruined My Life’

November 25, 2011 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

It’s a pretty harsh assessment, but director Terence Davies (Distant Voices, Still Lives), has told the Irish Times that, “Being gay has ruined my life”. In an interview ahead of the release of his first movie in ten years, the Rachel Wiesz starring Deep Blue Sea, he touched upon his sexuality and didn’t give it a particularly good assessment.

He says, “I hate it [being gay]. I’ll go to my grave hating it. Which is why I have been celibate. One-night stands are not for me. I was not good looking. I did not have a good body. Nobody was interested when I was young. Now I am old. I am still not good looking. I know what I am. I will always loathe it. It has killed part of my soul.”

Davies was born in 1945 and so grew up during a time when homosexual behaviour was illegal. While you’d have hoped he’d have managed to enjoy the days of gay liberation through the 70s and 80s, it seems he, like many older men, has never truly come to terms with his sexuality.

He says that once after a screening of his 1983 work, The Terence Davies Trilogy, a man complained that its bleak view of gay life was excessive. “It was the only time I’ve been rude in those situations. I said: ‘Sit down! How dare you say that? You’re good looking. You don’t know what it’s like to grow up in a time and place where homosexuality was illegal. Sit down!’”

It’s certainly interesting how much he links being happy with your sexuality with being good looking.

However he’s decided he hates being gay and that nothing is going to change that. Indeed he seems to have little desire to come to terms with it. It’s a great shame though, especially as he also says, “Well, most of the time I put a front on. I like a good laugh. I have a good sense of humour. But I am very lonely. Very lonely indeed.”

Archie Comics’ Gay Pal Kevin Keller Is Getting Married

November 25, 2011 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Archie Comics’ gay pal Kevin Keller is getting married.

In a first for mainstream comic books, gay marriage will be the storyline in the January edition of the “Life with Archie” series, as the characters of fictional Riverdale gather for the wedding of Kevin and his partner.

Readers will learn that Kevin meets his future husband, Clay, in a military hospital after being wounded while serving in the United States Armed Forces.

“Kevin followed in his father’s footsteps and is returning to Riverdale as a war hero, but that’s not all — It’s Kevin’s wedding day!” Archie Comics said, in a release.

Kevin was introduced to Archie fans in 2010, becoming the first gay character in the series’ 70 year history.

Longhorns (DVD)

November 25, 2011 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Starring: Jacob Newton, Derek Efrain Villanueva, Dylan Vox, Kevin Held
Director: David Lewis
Running Time: 74 mins
Certificate: 18
Release Date: November 21st, 2011

Thing I learned about Texas from Longhorns:
1: If there aren’t any women in the room, all Texan men will have a group wank together
2: If a Texan man isn’t included in the group wanks, he’ll start to feel shunned and will do his best to get an invite
3: While a Texan man will almost certainly be happy to let you give him a blow job or wank him off, your relationship will never be the same if you try and kiss him
4: If they’re not having a group wank, Texan men will find contrived reasons as to why at least one guy in the room should be naked [Read more…]

50/50 (Cinema)

November 24, 2011 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Starring: Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Seth Rogen, Bryce Dallas Howard, Anjelica Huston, Anna Kendrick
Director: Jonathan Levine
Running Time: 100 mins
Certificate: 15
Release Date: November 25th, 2011

Ok, here’s my pitch to try and get a poster quote for 50/50 – ‘The funniest film about possibly dying of cancer you’ll see all year!’ I doubt the studio is going to use that one, but it doesn’t mean it’s not true. It also kind of sums up 50/50’s problems, because while it’s very funny, extremely moving, quite sweet and extremely entertaining, the fact it’s about someone with cancer will inevitably limit its audience.

It’s a real shame, as a lot of people will undoubtedly miss out. It doesn’t really matter what I or anyone else says – a movie about cancer sounds like a bummer, and so getting people through the door is gonna be tough. [Read more…]

Harvest (DVD)

November 24, 2011 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Starring: Lukas Steltner, Kai Michael Muller, Steven Baade
Director: Benjamin Bantu
Running Time: 84 mins
Certificate: 15
Release Date: November 21st, 2011

As the gay son of a farmer, Harvest is a movie that should have spoken to me – or at least if it was going to speak to anyone, it should have been me. Sadly though it didn’t.

The film is set on a large industrial farming operation on the very edge of Berlin. The farm takes in interns who learn the ropes and do exams to become fully qualified farmers (and yes, whilst not compulsory, you can indeed take exams to be a farmer – in fact you can take entire degrees in it). Jakob (Lukas Steltner) is one of the interns and while the bosses are happy with his work (despite the fact he spend a lot of time slacking off), he’s struggling with his studies. [Read more…]

New Pic From John Carter

November 24, 2011 By Movie Muser Leave a Comment


With Disney’s $200 million gamble, John Carter, due out in March, the studio only has a few months to hype up the movies into a must see event (which at the moment it doesn’t really seem like). To help keep it in people’s mind, a new picture has been released (via EW), featuring Taylor Kitsch’s title character facing off against a giant white ape-type thing. To be honest it all looks a bit Conan meets Star Wars.

Director Andrew Stanton says about the creatures, “No, they’re sort of an oversized gorilla in the books, and they’re kind of ubiquitous. They’re littered everywhere through at least the first several novels. They were always cool, just from a visceral standpoint, [but] they don’t really have a narrative function in the first book. So what we did is we made the White Apes a formidable creature that you kind of hear about throughout the movie, but you never really witness. There’s a subtle sense of anticipation for what these things might be like. Then Michael Kutsche — who did a lot of the designs on [the Johnny Depp movie] Alice in Wonderland – came up with this design on his own, for just their scale. He made them nocturnal, almost like moles — they stopped using their eyes, and just had a heightened sense of smell. We just love that. We needed a scene where Carter was going have to get out of his execution sentence in order to move the story forward, and we thought what better than having to go up against this formidable creature?”

There are plenty of other creatures the film will be bringing us too, and I’d expect Disney will be introducing us to them soon. The problem with the first trailer was that while John Carter is a sci-fi fantasy, there didn’t seems to be much that made the movie special, so showing off the special effects and the whole world of Mars would probably be a good plan.

Star Trek 2 Gets May 2013 Release

November 24, 2011 By Movie Muser Leave a Comment

There’s been a huge amount of interest in exactly when Star Trek 2 might reach our screens, largely because while Paramount was keen to get it into production the moment the first film hit it big at the box office, JJ Abrams and the writers (Alex Kurtzman, Roberto Orci and Damon Lindelof) have taken their sweet time putting things together.

At one point the studio felt confident enough to set a summer 2012 release date, but it soon became apparent that Abrams simply wasn’t going to be ready to get it in cinemas by then. However now Paramount has resheduled things, and with shooting expected to start in the next few months (many sources say January), a new release date has been set – May 17th, 2013. That’s only confirmed for America so far, but presumably it’ll be the same date over here.

Deadline reports that Paramount was quite to jump in when Sony movied Roland Emmerich’s Singularity off that date. It’s also said that Abrams will be making the movie in 3D, which could certainly be an interesting new look for the space tales.
