New The Legend Of Tarzan Pics Show Off Alexander Skarsgard’s Shirtlessness

June 18, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

legend-of-tarzan3-slideIn recent years, Zac Efron has been going for the prize of ‘Most Shirtless Movie Star’, but if the new pictures Alexander Skarsgard from The Legend Of Tarzan are any evidence, the True Blood star is trying to take the crown in a single movie. Indeed, it would appear solely from these pictures that he won’t be wearing a shirt at all in the movie.

The pics also suggest they have a very good gym in the jungle, as even swinging through the tress I doubt you’d end up looking like that without a help. Although there also plenty of evidence here that despite how much he works out, Tarzan isn’t great at washing.

Here’s the movie’s synopsis: ‘It has been years since the man once known as Tarzan (Alexander Skarsgård) left the jungles of Africa behind for a gentrified life as John Clayton, Lord Greystoke, with his beloved wife, Jane (Margot Robbie) at his side.  Now, he has been invited back to the Congo to serve as a trade emissary of Parliament, unaware that he is a pawn in a deadly convergence of greed and revenge, masterminded by the Belgian, Leon Rom (Christoph Waltz).  But those behind the murderous plot have no idea what they are about to unleash.’

David Yates (the last four Harry Potter movies) direct. The film is out in the UK on July 1st, but before then enjoy the ridiculous amount of muscles and man-flesh on display below. [Read more…]

David Brent: Life On The Road Trailer – Ricky Gervais returns to his Office creation

June 18, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

david-brent-life-on-the-roadDavid Brent in The Office is certainly a love him or loath him figure, although there are plenty out there who love him enough that a movie based around the character is likely to find plenty of interest. That’s good for Ricky Gervais, who’s back in Brent mode for Life On The Road.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘DAVID BRENT: LIFE ON THE ROAD sees the highly anticipated big screen debut of one of comedy’s best-loved characters, David Brent (Ricky Gervais). The film catches up with Brent twelve years on from the BBC mockumentary ‘The Office’ to find he is now a travelling salesman with Lavichem, a cleaning and ladies’ personal hygiene products company. However, he hasn’t given up on his dream of rock stardom and is about to embark on a self-financed UK tour with his band, ‘Foregone Conclusion’.

‘Assembling a group of session musicians who are just in it for the money, and talented rapper Dom (Ben Bailey Smith) in an attempt to gain street cred, Brent cashes in his pensions and takes unpaid leave in a bid to turn his dream into reality. Get ready to join David Brent on the road as he takes one last shot at fame and fortune.’

The film’s due out in the UK in August. [Read more…]

I, Daniel Blake Trailer – Take a look at Ken Loach’s Palme d’Or Winner

June 18, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

i-daniel-blake-slideKen Loach has been making socially conscious cinema since the 1960s, and he’s had a huge amount of critical success, particularly at Cannes, which have given two of his movies the Palm d’Or, with numerous other prizes bestowed there on his movies. His latest Palm d’Or cam just last month for I, Daniel Blake, which has now released a trailer.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Daniel Blake (59) has worked as a joiner most of his life in Newcastle. Now, for the first time ever, he needs help from the State. He crosses paths with single mother Katie and her two young children, Daisy and Dylan. Katie’s only chance to escape a one-roomed homeless hostel in London has been to accept a flat in a city she doesn’t know, some 300 miles away.

‘Daniel and Katie find themselves in no-man’s land, caught on the barbed wire of welfare bureaucracy as played out against the rhetoric of ‘striver and skiver’ in modern-day Britain.’

The film will be released in the UK in October. Take a look at the trailer below. [Read more…]

Wicked Movie Finally Gets A Release Date

June 18, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

wicked-stage-slideFor almost as long as it’s been playing on Broadway, a film version of the hit musical Wicked has been in the works. However, for most of that time it’s been trapped in development hell. With musicals tending to have a mixed record at the cinemas, it’s believed executives at Universal were nervous about making such an expensive musical movie.

It also didn’t help when Disney made Oz The Great And Powerful, which delayed the Wicked movie while they judged whether that film would mean people wouldn’t want another Oz movie. But while the adaptation has had major issues, Universal has never given up on it.

Now, it finally looks like they’re getting serious, as a December 20th, 2019, release date has been set. It’s still early days though, as while it has a director in the form of Stephen Daldry, there’s no cast attached as yet. However, giving it a release date at least signifies they’re getting really serious about bringing the musical to the screen.

Lady Gaga In Talks For Bradley Cooper’s A Star Is Born Remake

June 18, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

lady-gagaThe idea of once more remaking A Star Is Born (it’ll be the third or fourth remake, depending on how you count) has been around a long time, and has been through a long list of actors and directors. It’s still alive, with Bradley Cooper planning to both helm and star in the movie.

What he hasn’t had is a female lead. Beyonce was attached for a long time, but she’s since dropped out. THR reports Cooper may have found another top chanteuse to replace her, as Lady Gaga is rerportedly in talks to join the movie.

A Star Is Born follows  a young woman with dreams of a singing career who meets a famous actor. However as her career rises, his self-destructs thanks to his alcoholism. It’s previously been filmed in 1937 with Janet Gaynor and Fredric March (which itself was technically a remake), 1954 with Judy Garland and James Mason starring, and 1976 with Barbra Streisand and Kris Kristofferson.

Logan Marshall-Green in Dark-Blue

The cast for Spider-Man: Homecoming is coming together quickly now, with Tom Holland being joined by the likes of Michael Keaton, Donald Glover, Marisa Tomei, Zendaya, Kenneth Choi, Michael Barbieri, Tony Revolori, and Laura Harrier over the last few months. Robert Downey Jr. is also set to reprise his Iron Man role. Now a couple more have joined the throng, with Martin Starr & Logan Marshall-Green signing up.

It’s not known exactly who they will play, but THR suggests Prometheus’ Marshall Green will be a villain, alongside Keaton’s main bad guy. Starr’s role is a complete mystery.

Indeed, Sony has been keeping most details about the plot close to it’s chest, as we don’t even know who the main villain will be, although it’s rumoured Keaton will be Vulture. Jon Watts is directing the movie, which starts shooting soon for released July 2017.

Zac Efron In Talks For P.T. Barnum Biopic The Greatest Showman On Earth

June 18, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

bad-neighbours-2-zac-efron-shirtlessFor the past couple of years Zac Efron has mainly been trapped in grossout comedy and rom-com land, but now he’s in talks for something a little different, the long gestating P.T. Barnum Biopic The Greatest Showman On Earth, according to Variety. Hugh Jackman is still attached to play the lead role.

The Greatest Showman On Earth is envisioned as a musical about the life of Barnum, who was known for his elaborate hoaxes before creating the three-ring circus. The story will also look at his pining for Swedish opera singer Jenny Lind. It’s not clear who Efron would play.

Michael Gracey is attached to direct. The project has been in the works for over five years, but apparently Fox has now made is a priority, partly because they know what a passion project it is for Hackman.

Pot Luck: Episode 2 – New Zealand’s first lesbian-themed web series is back!

June 15, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

pot-luck-slideLast December we posted the first episode of New Zealand’s first lesbian-themed web series, Pot Luck, which at the time was crowdfunding to get more episodes made. Now a second episode has arrived, so we can catch up with what’s going on with the antipodean girls.

The makers says that, ‘In the tradition of Transparent and Orange Is The New Black, we’re telling the New Zealand story of diversity in an entertaining package that will appeal to a wide audience! One of our local broadcasters, TVNZ on Demand (1million+ subscribers) will be screening it on their online platform, and we’re also negotiating with a number of international platforms (mainstream and LBGTQ) who are very interested, just based on watching the first episode.’

The very brief synopsis for Episode 2 simply says, ‘Debs, Beth and Mel have made a pact… but will everyone be able to keep up their side of the bargain?’ If you need to catch up with Episode 1, click here, or otherwise take a look a the second instalment below. [Read more…]
