Amy Adams May Have Trouble With The Curve

November 17, 2011 By Movie Muser Leave a Comment

A few weeks ago it was revealed that while Clint Eastwood had said Gran Torino would probably be his final trip in front of the camera, he’s planning one more on-screen role with Trouble With The Curve. At the time it seemed Sandra Bullock was likely to star alongside him. However a deal couldn’t be worked out (largely due to scheduling) and so Variety reports that the role has been offered to Amy Adams.

There are still some things to work out with Adams, who also has a few scheduling problems (mainly with various Man Of Steel jobs she has to do), but at the moment its appears she’s doing her best to ensure everything gets sorted. After all, who wouldn’t want to star alongside Clint, and this may be the very last time it’s possible to do that?

The film follows an aging baseball scout who’s slowly losing his vision, but goes on a road trip with his adult daughter to look for new players in Atlanta.

Ricky Gervais Confirmed To Host Golden Globes Again

November 17, 2011 By Movie Muser Leave a Comment

After their very public spat earlier this year, it seem Ricky Gervais and the Hollywood Foreign Press Association have kissed and made up, as the comedian has been confirmed to host the Golden Globes again this year. While this has come as a surprise to some – not least because Gervais publicly vowed he wouldn’t do it again – he’s good for rating, so it makes sense for them to get him back.

Indeed while some members of the HFPA were probably against rehiring him, having felt that his near-the-knuckle jokes went to far at this year’s ceremony and that the online war of words afterwards was too much, it seems NBC were keen. Gervais was only hired by the HFPA after meeting with NBC official Doug Vaughn.

As for Gervais, who did rule out returning, he;s been warming to the idea over the last few months, and met with HFPA President Dr. Aida Takla-O’Reilly in Paris recetnly to discuss it. He said recently that the idea of going back behind the podium, “is very tempting.” The 69th Annual Golden Globe Awards ceremony will be held on January 15 at the Beverly Hilton Hotel.

New Pixar’s Brave Trailer

November 16, 2011 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment


If one thing is certain in life, it’s that Pixar movies always look stunningly gorgeous, and it certainly seems Brave will follow suit. We got a teaser a couple of months ago, but now Disney has released a full trailer for the movie. Here’s the synopsis: ‘A grand adventure full of heart, memorable characters and signature Pixar humor, “Brave” uncovers a new tale in the mysterious Highlands of Scotland where the impetuous Merida (voice of Kelly Macdonald) defies an age-old custom and inadvertently unleashes chaos, forcing her to discover the meaning of true bravery before it’s too late.’ The film is due to hit UK cinemas August 17th, 2012.

Titanic 3D Trailer

November 16, 2011 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment



To watch this video, you need the latest Flash-Player and active javascript in your browser.



They promised its heart would go on and on, and now it’s holding to that, as Titanic arrives back in UK cinemas on April 15th, 2012 – the 100th anniversary of the sinking – but this time converted into three-dimensions.Now the trailer for the 3D re-release is here, but sadly on the interweb, it’s rather flat, so we don’t really get to appreciated whether the extra dimension helps things or not! Oh, and take a look at the new poster below.

Dear Alan – A Tribute to Alan Turing Short Film

November 16, 2011 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment


Alan Turing is starting to get the recognition he richly deserves for his pivotal work that helped give birth to modern computing (and fought the Nazis in the process), but the fact he was gay doesn’t tend to be trumpeted as much. Indeed his horrific persecution due to his sexuality (where chemical castration was pretty much forced upon him) eventually led to his suicide, but that’s a bit of a downer so it tends to get buried in the background.

The guys at Manchester’s Pink Triangle Theatre group obviously think the same, as they’ve made this 15 minute short movie, which may be a tad loose at times but does a good job of dealing with the fact the Turing has tended to be rather ignored, and attempts to redress the balance.

Channel 4 is showing a drama documentary about Turing, called ‘Britain’s Greatest Codebreaker’ on Monday 21st November at 9pm, but take a look at this short first.

Adam: Next Generation Robotics Short Film

November 16, 2011 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment


Here’s a great (and rather sexy) little gay short about self-acceptance, made by Mike Buonaiuto. The film was put together as a bit of a semi-crowd source venture, with social media followers from around the world interacting with costume decisions, narrative choices and even getting to watch the short being filmed live via Ustream.

The film mocks up a futuristic advert for a customisable robot and uses the mechanical metaphor to say we should never seek to control, suppress or silence a person, regardless of gender or sexual orientation. We are not robots.

“I wanted to shoot something engaging, with a universal message about self-acceptance and homophobia,” said filmmaker Mike Buonaiuto. “News reports of homophobic abuse and the devastating effects it has on families are becoming ever too common. I hope the film will inspire young people struggling with accepting their sexuality due to bullying or fear to find confidence within themselves. We are not machines, we are human and we cannot be controlled, suppressed or silenced.”

Out Gay Filmmaker On His Movie About Anti-gay Campaigner Anita Bryant

November 16, 2011 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Chad Hodge with Anita Bryant

Over here in the UK, Anita Bryant doesn’t quite have the pantomime villain reputation she does in the US. To many in the American gay community, the former model, singer and writer is seen as the virtual antichrist for her vociferous campaigning against any gay rights in the 1970s.

However, now gay filmmaker Chad Hodge is set to make a movie about Bryant for HBO. So why would a gay man want to make a film about a woman who many would like to become a fogotten footnote of a dark past? Hodge recently sat down with AfterElton and told them all about it.

It’s definitely well worth a read, and the films should be worth a watch too.

First Gay Nepalese Movie, Dubbed ‘Brokeback Everest’, Completes Shooting

November 16, 2011 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Actress Nisha Adhikari in Snow Flowers

Nepal isn’t exactly well known for its filmmaking industry, but a few movies do come out of the Himalayan country (and have done for the last six decades), and now it’s getting it’s very first gay themes one. The AFP reports that shooting is complete on Snow Flowers, a lesbian love story that some in the local press have (rather reductively) dubbed ‘Brokeback Everest’.

The movie, directed by Paris-based film-maker Subarna Thapa, stars top Nepalese actresses, Dia Maskey and Nisha Adhikari, in a story of two women who are tormented by their feelings for one another. “It’s two individuals falling in love and facing all the controversy and restrictions, and mental, emotional and physical traumas of being a lesbian in Nepal,” Adhikari says, “It’s a simple love story with a lot of complications.”

The film recently finished shooting and in due out in the spring. Many in Nepal are already wondering how the movie will go down in the country. The largely Hindu society is renowned for being pretty conservative, yet conversely the country has some of the most liberal laws concerning gay rights. Discrimination based on sexual orientation has been outlawed by the Supreme Court and is expected to be enshrined in Nepal’s new constitution. However social attitudes aren’t always as forward thinking, and the film deals with the difficulties many gay people still face in the country.

Gay people have been seen in previous Nepalese movies, but have generally been figures of fun. Adhikari says, “The entire movie is based on the trauma – what it is like not being able to come out and live your life because there are so many restrictions. There is no liberty in not living your life the way you want, irrespective of who you are attracted to sexually. This movie will be an eye-opener for a lot of people who have just viewed these issues very superficially.”

Great New Happy Feet Two Trailer

November 16, 2011 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment


I would have loved to have been at the meeting where they asked Brad Pitt and Matt Damon if they’d mind playing prawns in Happy Feet Two. However it went, they agreed, and now the movie is due in UK cinemas on December 2nd. But with the film out in the US on Friday, a great new trailer has arrived! In the film Mumble’s son, Erik, is struggling to realise his talents in the Emperor Penguin world, but is excited when he thinks he’s found a penguin that can fly. Meanwhile, Mumble and his family and friends discover a new threat their home – one that will take everyone working together to save them.

Mirror Mirror Trailer

November 16, 2011 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment


Last week we got the first trailer for Snow White & The Huntsman, which surprised many by how good it looked. Now we have a promo for next year’s other Snow White movie, Mirror Mirror, which is unlikely to get as good a reaction. While the Huntsman was all dark, gothic and brooding, this one goes more for colour and comedy. It may not appeal to adult tastes, but could score well with a family audience. The Tarsem Singh directed movie stars Lily Collins, Julia Roberts, Armie Hammer and Nathan Lane and is due in cinemas next March, a few months ahead of its rival’s July debut.

Bill Nighy Joins I, Frankenstein

November 16, 2011 By Movie Muser Leave a Comment

Over the past year or so, about half a dozen Frankenstein projects, all with a slightly different takse on Mary Shelley’s classic tale, have been in development in Hollywood. One now finally seems to be moving ahead – I Frankenstein. Aaron Eckhart recently signed on to play the title character in this modern day sequel, and now Variety reports that Bill Nighy and Socratis Otto (X-Men Origins: Wolverine) have joined the cast.

Stuart Beattie will direct I, Frankenstein, which is about Adam Frankenstein (Aaron Eckhart), the creation of Dr. Frankenstein, who is still alive centuries after his ‘birth’. Adam is hunted down by a clan of demons who want to learn Adam’s secret in order to reanimate deceased demons to start a new army. Bill Nighy will play a demon prince, while Socratis Otto will be the prince’s right hand man, who goes after Adam.

Beattie is directing I, Frankenstein from his own screenplay, which is adapted from Kevin Grevioux’s graphic novel of the same name. Shooting will start next February, in Victoria, Australia, with a February 22nd, 2013 release date already pencilled in
