Wild Horses Trailer – Does James Franco only play gay characters now?

May 28, 2015 By Tim Isaac 2 Comments

wild-horses-james-francoI think we need to start a petition, as with his numerous LGBT roles James Franco is taking work away from good, honest, real gay people. Straight people coming over here and taking our jobs, it’s just not right!

Seriously though, no movie star before him has done as much as Franco to explore gay characters and stories as Franco has, as both an actor and a director. Now he’s back with another one, where he’s playing gay, but it’s the legendary Robert Duvall behind the camera.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Texas Ranger Samantha Payne (Luciana Duvall) reopens a 15-year-old Missing Persons case, uncovering clues linking a local boy’s death to wealthy family man, Scott Briggs (Robert Duvall). Samantha will stop at nothing to discover the truth even if it means risking her own life.

‘With the unexpected return of his estranged gay son Ben (Franco), Briggs must find a way to either silence the law for good, or come to terms with the hidden relationship between Ben and the boy that he tried to end years ago.’

The film, which sounds like it mightbe well worth watching, is due out in the US on June 5th. It’s not Franco’s only gay film this year, as he’s also got I Am Michael coming out, in which he plays a man who turns from LGBT activist to ex-gay poster child.

Take a look at the wild horses trailer below. [Read more…]

American Ultra Red Band Trailer – Jesse Eisenberg & Kirsten Stewart get into some stoner action

May 28, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

american-ultra-jesse-eisenberg-posterBy all accounts American Ultra is a bit of an unusual movie – part Cheech & Chong and part action thriller – which reteams Adventureland co-stars Jesse Eisenberg and Kristen Stewart.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘“’American Ultra’ is a fast-paced action comedy about Mike (Eisenberg), a seemingly hapless and unmotivated stoner whose small-town life with his live-in girlfriend, Phoebe (Stewart), is suddenly turned upside down. Unbeknownst to him, Mike is actually a highly trained, lethal sleeper agent. In the blink of an eye, as his secret past comes back to haunt him, Mike is thrust into the middle of a deadly government operation and is forced to summon his inner action-hero in order to survive.”

The movie is due out in both the US and UK in August. [Read more…]

Chris Pine Up For Wonder Woman Love Interest Role

May 27, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

chris-pineI’m hoping this doesn’t mean that despite supposedly being about a female superhero, DC is really going to make it just as much about a guy, but Variety reports that Chris Pine is in talks to join Gal Gadot in Wonder Woman.

If he does sign on, he’ll play Wonder Woman’s love interest, Steve Trevor, who, in the comic, crash lands on the Amazons’ home island of Paradise during World War II. Wonder Woman falls for him after she nurses him back to health, and then when he returns to America she follows him – becoming Diana Prince, who in true comic fashion, Steve doesn’t realise is the same person as the hero, Wonder Woman.

Things are likely to be altered for the movie, not least bringing things up to date and tying it into DC’s universe, especially as Wonder Woman will make her first appearance in next year’s Batman Vs. Superman.

It gives Pine the potential of being part of two franchises. While it’s possible he may only be in one DC movie, it may also set his up for a key role in Justice League, as in one of Steve Trevor’s comic incarnations he is one of the main liaisons between the US government, the UN and the heroes, working alongside Amanda Waller. That character will already be part of the DC film universe as Violet Davis is playing her in Suicide Squad.

Wonder Woman is due out June 2017.

Tatum O’Neal Says That At The Moment She’s ‘Dating Mostly Women’

May 27, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

tatum-o-nealWhen she was 10, Tatum O’Neal became the youngest person ever to win a competitive acting Oscar when she picked up the Best Supporting Actress gong for Paper Moon. After that she married John McEnroe, had some heavily publicised issues with drugs and addiction, but has also continued to act.

With her new movie, She’s Funny That Way, opening in the US soon, she’s been chatting with People in a candid interview, where she touches on her sexuality, saying “I like women. I definitely have been dating mostly women recently.”

However she doesn’t want to put a label on whether she’s gay, straight of bisexual, simply saying “I’m not one or the other.”

She adds, “I think women are the most amazing creatures on earth. They’re gentle, and also more intelligent than the men that I’ve met recently. I don’t have a steady right now, but I look forward to it.”

Netflix Decides They Want More Grace & Frankie

May 27, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

grace-and-frankie-poster1-slideIt’s only been online a couple of weeks, but Netflix must be feeling they’ve got a hit on their hands with Grace & Frankie, as they’ve already ordered a second season, according to Variety.

It’s not too surprising it’s been a success, as it was co-created by Friends’ Marta Kauffman and stars the impressive quartet of Jane Fonda, Lily Tomlin, Martin Sheen and Sam Waterston. Who wouldn’t want to take a look at that, even if you didn’t know what it was about?

Grace & Frankie is about old friends turned enemies, who suddenly find common ground again when their husbands leave them and run off with one another.

Kauffman comments on getting a follow-up season, “Let me say, it’s so awesome to do a show on Netflix. “Because two and a half weeks after we launched, Miley Cyrus does a tweet about your show, and they call and say, ‘We’d like to do a season two.’ So yes, there is a season two. We have Ted [Sarandos] and Miley to thank.”

Season 2 will hit Netflix in 2016.

Point Break Trailer – Luke Bracey and Edgar Ramirez star in the remake

May 27, 2015 By Tim Isaac 1 Comment

POINT-BREAK-POSTERThe jury is still out on whether there’s any point in remaking Point Break, but we can now get a taste of the film as the trailer has arrived, which you can take a look at below.

Here’s the official synopsis: ‘A young FBI agent, Johnny Utah (Luke Bracey), infiltrates a cunning team of thrill-seeking elite athletes – led by the charismatic Bodhi (Edgar Ramirez). The athletes are suspected of carrying out a spate of crimes in extremely unusual ways.

Deep undercover, and with his life in imminent danger, Utah strives to prove they are the architects of this string of inconceivable crimes.

The film is replete with the most daring athleticism ever seen in a motion picture. These action adventure feats are performed by elite athletes representing the world’s best in class in big-wave surfing, wingsuit flying, sheer-face snowboarding, free rock climbing, and high-speed motorcycling.’

Ericson Core directs, with a January 8th UK release date set. [Read more…]

A Walk In The Woods Trailer – Robert Redford and Nick Nolte go hiking

May 27, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

a-walk-in-the-woods-film-posterRobert Redford’s quest to get Bill Bryson’s wonderful memoir A Walk In The Woods on the screen has been going on for so long that it was originally envisioned as a way to get him to reteam with Paul Newman (and seeing as the screen legend died in 2008, it really has been a long time).

Now though Redford has managed it, starring alongside Nick Nolte, Mary Steenburgen, Kristen Schaal and Emma Thompson, with Ken Kwapis directing.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘In this new comedy adventure, celebrated travel writer, Bill Bryson (Redford), instead of retiring to enjoy his loving and beautiful wife (Emma Thompson), and large and happy family, challenges himself to hike the Appalachian Trail – 2,200 miles of America’s most unspoiled, spectacular and rugged countryside from Georgia to Maine. The peace and tranquility he hopes to find, though, is anything but, once he agrees to being accompanied by the only person he can find willing to join him on the trek – his long lost and former friend Katz (Nolte), a down-on-his-luck serial philanderer who, after a lifetime of relying on his charm and wits to keep one step ahead of the law – sees the trip as a way to sneak out of paying some debts and sneak into one last adventure before its too late. The trouble is, the two have a completely different definition of the word “adventure”. Now they’re about to find out that when you push yourself to the edge, the real fun begins. A Walk in the Woods also co-stars Nick Offerman (22 Jump Street), Kristen Schaal (“The Last Man on Earth”) and Mary Steenburgen (Last Vegas).’

It’s a great book and will hopefully make just as good a film.

The film’s due out in September. [Read more…]

Pawn Sacrifice Trailer – Tobey Maguire takes on Liev Schreiber at chess

May 27, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

pawn-sacrifice-slidePawn Sacrifice has sure taken a long time to get here. Back in 2010 David Fincher toyed with helming the film, based on Steven Knight’s script, and then Ed Zwick signed up to direct Tobey Maguire in the movie way back in the summer of 2012.

It shot in 2013 premieres at TIFF at the end of last year, but it’s only now a trailer has arrived before the September US release.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘In a gripping true story set during the height of the Cold War, American chess prodigy Bobby Fischer (Tobey Maguire) finds himself caught between two superpowers when he challenges the Soviet Empire. Also starring Liev Schreiber and Peter Sarsgaard, PAWN SACRIFICE chronicles Fischer’s terrifying struggles with genius and madness, and the rise and fall of a kid from Brooklyn who captured the imagination of the world.’ [Read more…]

The End of the Tour Trailer – Jason Segel takes on novelist David Foster Wallace

May 27, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

END-OF-THE-TOUR-pic1Will it be Almost Famous all over again, but time with literature instead of music? Probably not, but they do have similar premises, with a Rolling Stone journalist heading off on the road to interview someone and write a piece.

Here’s the synopsis (form Sundance): ‘THE END OF THE TOUR tells the story of the five-day interview between Rolling Stone reporter (and novelist) David Lipsky (Jesse Eisenberg) and acclaimed novelist David Foster Wallace (Jason Segel), which took place right after the 1996 publication of Wallace’s groundbreaking epic novel, Infinite Jest. As the days go on, a tenuous yet intense relationship seems to develop between journalist and subject. The two men bob and weave around each other, sharing laughs and also possibly revealing hidden frailties – but it’s never clear how truthful they are being with each other.

‘Ironically, the interview was never published, and five days of audio tapes were packed away in Lipsky’s closet. The two men did not meet again. The film is based on Lipsky’s critically acclaimed memoir about this unforgettable encounter, written following Wallace’s 2008 suicide. Both Segel and Eisenberg reveal great depths of emotion in their performances and the film is directed with humor and tenderness by Sundance vet James Ponsoldt from Pulitzer- Prize winner Donald Margulies’ insightful and heartbreaking screenplay.’

The film’s out in the US in July. [Read more…]

Tilda Swinton May Be The Ancient One In Doctor Strange

May 27, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

tilda-swintonIt seems Marvel’s Doctor Strange is going to have a bit of a British flavour (it might as well, as they film all their movies in Britain anyway), as with Benedict Cumberbatch already installed in the title role, he may now be joined by Tilda Swinton, according to THR.

She will be Strange’s mentor a ‘Tibetan mystic known as the Ancient One, who is training pupils to be the next sorcerer supreme.’ In the comics the character has always been a man, and initially Marvel was going to follow that through with the film, before deciding that Swinton was the right person for the job.

Chiwetel Ejiofor was previously said to be in talks for the movie, with the speculation being that he would be the Ancient One, however the new report doesn’t mention him, so it’s not clear whether he’s moved on or is just playing a different character.

Scott Derrickson is set to direct the movie which follows the title character, Doctor Strange, who is a former neurosurgeon, a practicing sorcerer, and becomes the Sorcerer Supreme, the primary protector of Earth against magical and mystical threats.

The film’s due out November 2016.

Robert Rodriguez Plans Live Action Jonny Quest Movie

May 27, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

jonny-quest-originalA few years ago the news that Robert Rodriguez was taking on a movie would be reason for excitement, but we’ve had a few too many Sharkboy And Lavagirls, and Sin City: A Dame To Kill Fors, for it to mean the same as it once did.

Nevertheless THR reports that Rodriguez has signed up to helm Warner Bros’ live-action Jonny Quest movie. You can see why he’d appeal to the studio, as Rodriguez offers a full service, as he owns his own studios and visual effects company, allowing him to make movies much cheaper than comparable companies. As Warner don’t want to spend the earth on Jonny, it makes sense.

Jonny has had several incarnations over the year, but all follow the young title character, who goes on a series of incredible, action-filled adventures with his father. For several year there have been attempts to take the character live-action, but they have all stalled. Perhaps this one will have more luck.
