Over two years ago Daniel Radcliffe signed on to be the Igor in a new Frankenstein movie, and it was July 2013 when James Mcavoy joined him as the infamous mad scientist. It’s taken a while to get things together but now the movie is heading towards a September UK release, and Empire has posted the first images from the set of the film.
Here’s the synopsis: ‘James McAvoy is Victor Von Frankenstein and Daniel Radcliffe stars as Igor in a unique, never-before-seen twist on Mary Shelley’s classic 19th century novel. Told from Igor’s perspective, we see the troubled young assistant’s dark origins, his redemptive friendship with the young medical student Victor Von Frankenstein, and become eyewitnesses to the emergence of how Frankenstein became the man—and the legend—we know today.’
McAvoy comments, “As much as the monster is his creation, Igor is his creation as well. That was quite exciting. It’s funny, the script, but also really dark, in a cool way.”
It’s an interesting idea and it’ll be interesting to see if it works. As it has a script by Max Landis (Chronicle), hopefully it will.
A week or so ago we had a halfway look at Jared Leto’s as The Joker, but now we’ve got the first proper look, as director David Ayer has a released a pic showing a shrieking Leto with green hair, pale skin, rotten teeth and lots of tattoos.

Northmen is an action-packed and brutal Viking Saga that brings together a top-class cast and some truly bone-crushing fight sequences. Shot against the breathtaking backdrop of South Africa’s Cape Province, the film stars True Blood’s Ryan Kwanten, Tom Hopper (Black Sails), Ed Skrein (Game of Thrones), James Norton (Rush), Charlie Murphy (Philomena) and Johan Hegg – legendary frontman for Swedish heavy metal band, Amon Amarth.
He’s often shown off his impressive torso and Rush gave us a look at Chris Hemsworth’s perfectly toned butt, but it seems that the upcoming Vacation will give us a peek at what we’ve all wanted to see, Thor’s hammer. Well, sort of.
The gay internet got very excited a couple of days ago when it was revealed that 
Johnny Depp is currently back in the world of Jack Sparrow on the set of the new Pirates Of The Caribbean movie, but he’s got something rather different coming up, where he stars in the biopic of Boston gangster Whitey Bulger. He certainly looks rather different though, with receding hairline, coloured contacts and facial prosthetics.
I don’t think we can hold out too much hope for the one even if the trailer looks dumb but potentially a lot of fun. Oren Peli had a massive hit with Paranormal Activity in 2007, and he was supposed to follow-it up with another found footage tale, Area 51, a couple of years later.
Star Wars Rogue One is set to shoot this year but it still needs to complete its cast. Felicity Jones is already aboard and Ben Mendelsohn was recently rumoured to be joining her.
After a whole host of high profile actors passed on the Point Break remake, the producers settled on Luke Bracey and Edgar Ramirez and be their new Keanu Reeves and Patrick Swayze. They may not be big names, but they’re good actors, so hopefully that will count.
Tom Cruise and Doug Liman had a great time working together on Edge Of Tomorrow, so much so that in January they announced that they were reuniting for the crime thriller Mena.
