Gay Short Film Showcase: For Your Gods – A very erotic new film arrives from VENFIELD8 (NSFW)

June 11, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

for-your-gos-venfield-8VENFIELD8, who is perhaps best known for their parody adverts where the theme behind many ads for luxury brands is laid bare (literally) by the inclusion of man bits, is back with a new short film, For Your Gods. You can take a look at it below.

The artist says that the film is ‘a meditation of the fetishization of designer labels and illustrates the erotic currency in the extreme. Seen as a metaphor, consumers are instructed to respond to luxury in very specific and predetermined ways.’ However, many will see it as a meditation on a hot, furry, naked guy, writhing about on a table. It’s certainly a new way to use a Louis Vuitton dog collar.

Beware though, while it’s well worth a look, it’s also very NSFW. If you know a short film we ought to be posting, tell us by getting in touch via our contact page. And check out more gay short films and web series here. [Read more…]

From Afar Trailer – A middle-aged gay man gets into a complicated relationship with a younger hustler

June 11, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

from-afar-slideLorenzo Vigas’ had huge success at last year’s Venice Film Festival, picking up the Golden Lion for its tale of a man who uses money to try to get company, but ends up discovering a complicated relationship to the the power and inequality that money brings with it. That’s just in terms of sex, but also politically in the South American country where they live.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Armando, a 50 year man, seeks young men in Caracas and pays them just for company. One day he meets Elder, a 17 years boy that is the leader of a criminal gang, and that meeting changes their lives forever.’

Armando likes to pay young men to strip while he masturbates – he likes to look but not touch. However, his relationship with Elder gets increasingly complex, and sometimes violent, as both men deal with differing daddy problems. Take a look at the trailer below (and thanks to Out for the tip). [Read more…]

Real O’Neals’ Noah Galvin Offers A Big Apology For Comments About Colton Haynes & Bryan Singer

June 11, 2016 By Tim Isaac 1 Comment

noah-galvinThe Real O’Neals star Noah Galvin has had to do a pretty quick apologising act following the publication of an interview in which he threw major shade at the likes of fellow gays Colton Haynes and Bryan Singer. It would appear he wasn’t quite used to how widely his words would spread and the comment they’d cause that now he’s the star of a network TV show, and that his intention completely backfired.

During an interview with New York Magazine’s Vulture.com, Galvin criticised Haynes’ coming out, saying he was “the worst”, and “That’s not coming out. That’s fucking pussy bullshit. That’s like, enough people assume that I sleep with men, so I’m just going to slightly confirm the fact that I’ve sucked a dick or two. That’s not doing anything for the little gays but giving them more masturbation material.”

He also took a swipe at Bryan Singer, saying, “Bryan Singer likes to invite little boys over to his pool and diddle them in the fucking dark of night.”

Not content with that he also called out Eric Stonestreet’s portrayal of the gay Cam on Modern Family, saying, “He’s playing a caricature of a caricature of a stereotype of stereotype on Modern Family. And he’s a straight man in real life. And as hilarious as that character is, there’s a lack of authenticity.”

Colton Haynes certainly wasn’t impressed, posting on Instagram:

https://www.instagram.com/p/BGdDNtWDTCL/

Galvin also soon apologised, with a two part Twitter message, where he suggested he was naive and had no right to say a lot of what he said. He also seems to have realised that what he said about Singer was potentially libellous:

Jon M. Chu May Direct Adaptation Of Lin-Manuel Miranda’s Musical In the Heights

June 11, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Jon-M-ChuWith Hamilton breaking records and become a breakout cultural phenomenon on the Broadway stage, it’s helped breath life back in plans to make a film based on Lin-Manuel Miranda’s earlier Tony-winning hit musical, In The Heights. Those plans are now gathering pace, with TheWrap reporting that Now You See Me 2 and G.I. Joe: Retaliation‘s Jon M. Chu is in talks to direct.

While those movies may not sound like good training for a musical, Chu’s background is actually in choreography. He’s also directed two of the Step Up movies, as well as the Justin Bieber documentary/concert movies Believe and Never Say Never, as well as the recent Jem And The Holograms film.

Miranda is leaving the cast of Hamilton soon, partly so he can help ensure the In The Heights Film is done correctly. On stage, he originated the lead role of In The Heights’ bodega owner Usvani, with the musical following the Dominican-American community in New York’s Washington Heights. It’s not expected that Miranda will play Usvani in the film (as it’s been reported he feels he’s now too old for the role), but he may well play another part.

Angelina Jolie Circling Kenneth Branagh’s Murder on the Orient Express

June 11, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Angelina-JolieLast November, Kenneth Branagh signed up to direct and star in a remake of Agatha Christie’s classic Murder on the Orient Express. Now he may have found his first co-star, as THR reports that Angelina Jolie is in talks for the movie.

She will be Harriet Hubbard, a role played by Lauren Bacall in Sidney Lumet’s famed 1974 version, which also starred Albert Finney (as Hercule Poirot), Sean Connery, Ingrid Bergman, John Gielgud, Vanessa Redgrave, Michael York and Jacqueline Bisset. Christie’s novel is about a death on the world’s most famous train, when a man known as Mr. Ratchett is stabbed 12 times and killed. Hercule Poirot, who happens to be travelling on the Orient Express, starts to investigate, discovering that many people could be the culprit.

There are suggestions that Fox is thinking of Murder On The Orient Express as the first of a potential franchise, with plenty more Poirot stories that could be adapted if this film is a success. It’s not clear when it will start shooting, but it currently has a November 2017 release date set.

Elizabeth Banks, Helena Bonham Carter & Mindy Kaling May Join Female Ocean’s 11 Spin-Off

June 11, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

elizabeth-banksA few days ago we reported that Cate Blanchett is in talks to join Sandra Bullock in the planned Ocean’s 11 spin-off, which will revolve around a group of female thieves. Now it seems director Gary Ross is filling out the other central roles, as Showbiz 411 reports that Elizabeth Banks, Helena Bonham Carter & Mindy Kaling are all likely to sign on too.

It’s believed the movie will centre on eight female thieves (the working title is Ocean’s Ocho), so there are a few more roles to cast yet. Rumours suggest Bullock’s character may be Danny Ocean’s sister, but no plot details have been released.

Hunger Games helmer Gary Ross should start shooting the movie either later this year or early next year, with filming believed to be taking place in New York.

The Chambermaid Lynn Trailer – A woman’s fetishistic fascination with a hotel guest grows in the lesbian-themed film

June 9, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

the-chambermaid-lynn-slideSynopsis: ‘An intense examination of desire that will take you to the edge, The Chambermaid Lynn follows a woman recently discharged from a psychiatric hospital. Employed by a plush hotel, she also has to care for her ailing and cantankerous mother.

‘However, what really stokes Lynn’s fire is her fetishistic fascination with the hotel’s guests, particularly those whose rooms leave tantalising traces of their lives. She is soon drawn to the enigmatic and beautiful Chiara, a sex-worker who introduces her to the twin notions of endurance and ecstasy. This wouldn’t be a story if everything went smoothly, and it wouldn’t be kinky if there wasn’t some pain.

Official Selection BFI Flare: London LGBT Film Festival 2016, Montréal World Film Festival, Rio de Janeiro International Film Festival, Munich Film Festival, Rotterdam International Film Festival, Zurich Film Festival, Chéries-Chéris Film Festival Paris’. The film will be released in the UK at the end on June.

Women He’s Undressed Trailer – Into the life of the gay costume designer who may have been Cary Grant’s lover

June 9, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

women-he's-undressedUntil recently Orry-Kelly was Australi’s most prolific Oscar winner, having picked up three Academy Awards for Costume Design. He was behind some of the most iconic outfits in cinema, from Jack Lemmon and Tony Curtis’ dresses in Some Like It Hot, to Ingrid Bergman’s outfits in Hollywood. He was also pretty much the only person Bette Davis wanted to dress her, working with the legend on more than 30 movie.

However, he’s largely been forgotten, partly because it seems Hollywood wanted it that way, due to Orry being a rather uncompromising man who did little to hide the fact he was gay (although due to the homophobic times he lives in, he had to be careful not to be too open), and may have had a major star as a lover. Although there’s no proof, rumours suggest that lover may have been Cary Grant.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘During the Hollywood boom years the legendary Orry-Kelly was costume designer on an astonishing 282 motion pictures, designing for Marilyn Monroe, Bette Davis, Humphrey Bogart, Rosalind Russell, and many more stars. Orry was as big a legend behind the scenes as the on-screen legends he adoringly dressed. Three times an Oscar winner, Orry was talented, daring, brash, bold and the toast of Hollywood, yet the thorn in the side of many a studio head. WOMEN HE’S UNDRESSED celebrates his story.

Includes interviews with: Actors Jane Fonda and Angela Lansbury, critic Leonard Maltin, costume designers Ann Roth , Catherine Martin, Colleen Atwood, Michael Wilkinson, Kim Barrett, plus family members and more.’

The film will be out on DVD and VoD in the US from Wolfe Video in August. [Read more…]

Actor Jeremy Jordan Is Raising Money To Save Cousin From Ex-Gay Facility, While Parents Issue Denial

June 9, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

jeremy-jordanJeremy Jordan is an actor and singer, known for the likes of The Last Five Years and Joyful Noise, as well as TV’s Smash and most recently Supergirl (where he plays Winn Schott). However, he’s currently dealing with a large amount of family drama, as he’s launched a crowdfunding campaign to pay for a lawyer to help get his cousin out of what he says is a ‘pray the gay away’ ex-gay facility.

He writes: ‘Meet my cousin Sarah. At 17, her future looks bright. She is in the top 10% of her class, runs cross-country and belongs to the National Honor Society and the debate team.  She is also gay.  Like any high school kids in a relationship, Sarah and her girlfriend wanted to go to prom together.  But when they did that, Sarah’s parents, who believe that homosexuality is a sin and abnormal, sent Sarah away against her will to an East Texas Christian boarding facility for troubled teens to “pray away the gay.”

‘Not only does this type of “therapy” not work, mental health professionals from organizations like the American Medical Association and the American Academy of Pediatrics have found it to be psychologically damaging, especially for minors.  And Sarah has been told that she must stay in this facility for a whole year.  So instead of being surrounded by friends and extended family who love and support Sarah for who she is, she’ll be isolated in a place where the fact that she is gay is treated as a sin and an illness. Instead of preparing for college and competing in the state debate tournament, she’ll be doing forced labor every day and enduring Bible-based “therapy” for her “disease.”

‘She is not allowed phone calls or email or any form of computer communication.  She is also not allowed visitors and cannot leave the property.   She is completely cut off from the outside world. She tried to run away, but was caught by the staff and returned to the facility.

‘Sarah’s extended family and close friends are trying to win her release through the legal system, but it’s not cheap.  Attorney’s fees in the first few weeks have already exceeded $20,000, and they are continuing to mount, with a full hearing set for July.  Sarah needs your help.  But this is about more than just one gay kid – if we free Sarah we can help show that it’s not okay to try to make gay teens straight by sending them away and using the threat of God against them.’

Since the campaign was launched, the parents of the girl have issued a denial that she was sent to the ‘school’ because if her sexuality, telling the Austin American-Statesman, ‘”My daughter would be heartbroken that she is being misrepresented this way”. In court documents, Sarah’s family says that she’s at the school to, “help her with issues of depression, self-harm, drug use, and behavioral issues.”‘

However, family law attorney Christine Andresen, of CHA Law Group, PC, who is the lawyer hired by Sarah’s aunt to help get her released, counters to People that, “I can’t comment on pending litigation, other than to authenticate that to the best of my knowledge, the background information on the GoFundMe shared by Sarah’s cousin is truthful.”

Despite Rumours, Finding Dory Won’t Feature Pixar’s First Openly Gay Couple

June 9, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

finding-dory-lgbtA few days ago, shortly after the release of a new trailer for Pixar’s Finding Dory, the internet erupted into excitement at the idea it might feature the animation studio’s first gay couple. The reason was that the promo included a shot that featured a child with two women. We chose not to report on it, as the evidence seemed pretty thin – after all, there was no evidence the women were a couple, and it’s unlikely anyone would have jumped to the assumption if one of the women didn’t have short hair and a duffel coat.

Now it seems that assessment is true, as reports from a preview screening suggest that as it lookedin the trailer, the women are only very briefly seen and there’s absolutely no info on whether they are supposed to be a family.

Some outlets have also tried to get Disney & Pixar to confirm or deny whether they were supposed to be a lesbian couple, but the studios and filmmakers aren’t saying too much. For example, USA Today asked director Andrew Stanton and producers Lindsey Collins, whether those character were LGBT. “They can be whatever you want them to be,” said Stanton. “There’s no right or wrong answer.”

“We never asked them,” added Collins.

“We have not asked that of any of the couples in any of our shots in any of our movies,” Stanton said.

It won’t help rehabilitate Disney’s gay-friendly credentials, as while the company likes to promote how LGBT-friendly it is as an employer and at its parks, it has a dismal track record for inclusiveness in its movie. Indeed, recently the studio was given a failing grade in GLAAD’s most recent Responsibility Index, due to the fact not a single one of their 2015 releases had an identifiably LGBT character. Recently there’s been a Twitter campaign to #GiveElsaAGirlfriend in Frozen 2, but on past form it’s unlikely to happen.

Sacha Baron Cohen Set To Play Mandrake the Magician

June 9, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

sacha-baron-cohenFor several years the idea of a movie based on the classic character, Mandrake The Magician, has been doing the rounds of Hollywood, but nobody has quite figured out how to make it work. However, Tinseltown hasn’t given up on the idea and now it’s ended up at Warner Bros., with THR reporting that Sacha Baron Cohen is now attached to star, and will develop the movie alongside Tropic Thunder writer Etan Cohen.

Lee Falk created Mandrake in 1934, with the illusionist a powerful hypnotist who uses his abilities to fight crime with Lothar, one of the strongest men in the world. Universal Pictures produced a 12-part serial based on the comic strip in 1939, but the character has not been seen on the big screen since then.

Disney owned rights for several years in the early 2000s, before they were acquired by Baldwin Entertainment and Hyde Park. Atlas Entertainment picked up the rights in 2009, and even commissioned a script by Janet Peoples and David Webb Peoples (12 Monkeys), before they teamed up with Warner Bros. It now looks like they may be trying to take things in a more comedic direction.
