Emma Stone & Ryan Gosling May Reunite & Gets Musical For La La Land

April 15, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

emma-stone-ryan-goslingIt seems Ryan Gosling’s self-imposed acting hiatus is over as just a few days after it was reported he’s in talks for Guillermo Del Toro’s Haunted Mansion, Deadline says that he may be re-teaming with his Crazy Stupid Love and Gangster Squad co-star Emma Stone for La La Land.

If he does it’ll be a chance for him to show off his singing skills (he is, after all, a former Mousketeer who nearly ended up in N*Sync), as it’s a musical from Whiplash director Damien Chazelle.

The film has been described as ‘an old fashioned musical set in contemporary Los Angeles and centers on a love story between a jazz pianist and an aspiring actress.’ Their passion is tested by the extremes of living in a city of creativity and dreams.

Neither Stone nor Gosling has signed on as yet, but both are said to be circling the project. There’s also been talk of Eddie Redmayne taking the male lead, but it appears Gosling is more likely at the moment.

Gay Short Film Showcase: Trunks – Can a swimming pool make you feel gay?

April 14, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

trunks-short-filmThe multi-award winning 2011 LGBT-themed short Trunks is based on an odd but intriguing idea, where a man feels straight when he’s on land, but gay when he’s in the local swimming pool. But will he tell his ex-girlfriend the whole truth?

The film won Best Short Film at the Northern Nights Film Festival, London; Best Experimental Film at the Limelight Awards 2012; and Best Screenplay at the Van d’Or Independent Film Awards 2012, so it’s certainly had some love.

You can take a look at it below (and as director David Hewitt points out on the video’s Vimeo page, it’s never made any money – gay short films rarely do, no matter how good they are – so if you want to tip him, you can do it there).

Crush Of The Day: The Stars Turn Out For The Avengers: Age Of Ultron World Premiere

April 14, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

avengers-premiere-slideThe stars of Marvel were out in force for the LA World Premiere of Avengers: Age Of Ultron, and as you’d expect the likes of Chris Evans, Robert Downey Jr., Chris Hemsworth and Jeremy Renner had their best threads on as they strutted down Hollywood Boulevard, and we’ve got the pics to prove it.

It was a bit of an early World Premiere as the film isn’t out in the US until May 1st, but the stars are off on a world tour to promote the film before its international release on April 23rd, and so the US premiere has already taken place.

As well as the stars mentioned above, Avengers actors such as Mark Ruffalo, James Spader, Scarlett Johansson, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Elizabeth Olsen, Cobie Smulders, Samuel L. Jackson, Paul Bettany and Anthony Mackie were also on hand, as were stars from the wider Marvel world, such as Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D’s Clark Gregg and Brett Dalton, and Ant-Man’s Paul Rudd.

Take a look at the action from the red carpet below. [Read more…]

Jaden Smith Says It Doesn’t Matter What You Wear, They’re All Clothes

April 14, 2015 By Tim Isaac 1 Comment

jaden-smithKarate Kid and After Earth star Jaden Smith may only be 16-years-old but he’s keen to show that he has little time for the sort of gender norms that many less enlightened people seem to be are immutable part of the universe.

He’s been spotted several times wearing skirts and dresses and other so-called ‘female’ clothing. After tabloids wrote stories about this fact, he wrote a Tweet which suggests he has little time for such thinking, saying, “Went to TopShop to Buy Some Girl Clothes, I Mean ‘Clothes.'”

He also shared that he had a situation where, ‘That Moment When Your Wearing A Dress With No Pants And You Swerve Way To Hard.’

If you look up the pics you’ll see that it’s a pretty good look for him, and he’s right, it does look like he’s just creating his own style rather than him specifically wearing ‘women’s’ clothes or making a statement/looking for publicity (he’s previously spoken of his dislike of celebs who wear things just to try and get attention).

Inevitably Jaden’s style has had some commentators frothing at the mouth, with some people unable to realise that most types of clothing have been favoured by one gender or another at different points in time. However most people have been extremely supportive of both what Jaden wears and his attitude to it. [Read more…]

Chevy Chase Is Joined By Ed Helms In The First Pics From The Vacation Reboot

April 14, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

vacation-pic1It’s been a while since we had a Vacation movie. There were four between 1983 and 1997, and then in 2010 came Hotel Hell Vacation, although the less said about that the better. However now the series is returning from straight-to-DVD hell for a full-on reboot, with Chevy Chase and Beverly Beverly D’Angelo returning as Clark and Ellen Griswold.

However the focus now is on the their fully grown son Rusty (now played by Ed Helms), who has a family of his own that are all ready to get into all manner of holiday chaos.

With a July release set the first images from the movie have now arrived, which you can see above and below.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘The next generation of Griswolds is at it again—and on the road for another ill-fated adventure. Following in his father’s footsteps and hoping for some much-needed family bonding, a grown-up Rusty Griswold (Ed Helms) surprises his wife, Debbie (Christina Applegate), and their two sons with a cross-country trip back to America’s “favorite family fun park,” Walley World.’

April 13, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Such-Good-PeopleIt feels like we’ve been waiting eons for Such Good People. We first reported on it back in October 2012 when the film was looking for crowdfunding. We’ve had the trailer since then, and now the film is getting is US release, and to celebrate we’ve got a great exclusive clip.

First Pic Of Darren Criss As Hedwig Arrives

April 13, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

darren-criss-hedwigWe’ve had Neil Patrick Harris, Andrew Rannells, Michael C. Hall and the recent stint from John Cameron Mitchell playing Broadway’s take on Hedwig And The Angry Inch, and now it’s Glee star Darren Criss’ turn.

And in what has fast become a bit on an anticipated tradition, we’ve not got the first pic of the actor in the character’s glittery make-up. He does look pretty, although less androgymous than you might expect.

Hedwig is the show’s East German title character, who was left with an angry inch after a botched sex change operation that she had in order to get into the US with her American GI lover. Hedwig then started dating young Tommy Gnosis, who left her behind when he took her music and became a rock star – leaving her understandably bitter (but still very funny).

Criss is playing the role on Broadway from April 29th to July 19th.

Channing Tatum Gets A Shirtless Magic Mike XXL Banner

April 13, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

magic-mike-2-channing-tatum-character-bannerMost people might be getting excited about the slew of big budget blockbusters that are on their way to cinemas, but let’s not forget that this summer also sees the return of the Magic Mike strippers, and just so we don’t ignore the film, Channing Tatum has got a new character banner.

As you’d expect he’s got his shirt off, and to be honest he’s looking a bit Footloose.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘“Magic Mike” stars Channing Tatum, Matt Bomer, Joe Manganiello, Kevin Nash, Adam Rodriguez and Gabriel Iglesias are reuniting for the hotly anticipated sequel “Magic Mike XXL”. Joining the returning cast, in brand new roles, will be Elizabeth Banks (“The Hunger Games” franchise), Donald Glover (“Community”), Amber Heard (“The Rum Diary”), Andie MacDowell (“Footloose”), Jada Pinkett Smith (“Gotham”) and Michael Strahan (“Live with Kelly and Michael”).

‘The new film will be directed and produced by Emmy Award winner Gregory Jacobs (“Behind the Candelabra”), who served as a producer on “Magic Mike,” as well as numerous features in a long-running collaboration with Steven Soderbergh. “Magic Mike XXL” also reunites “Magic Mike” producers Nick Wechsler, Channing Tatum and Reid Carolin, with a screenplay by Carolin. Steven Soderbergh, who directed the first film, will executive produce.

‘Picking up the story three years after Mike bowed out of the stripper life at the top of his game, “Magic Mike XXL” finds the remaining Kings of Tampa likewise ready to throw in the towel. But they want to do it their way: burning down the house in one last blow-out performance in Myrtle Beach, and with legendary headliner Magic Mike sharing the spotlight with them. On the road to their final show, with whistle stops in Jacksonville and Savannah to renew old acquaintances and make new friends, Mike and the guys learn some new moves and shake off the past in surprising ways.’

Magic Mike XXL is due out July 3rd.

Terminator Genisys ‘Payoff’ Trailer – John Connor has a surprise for us

April 13, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

terminator-genisys-new-pic1-slideThere’s still a bit of suspicion around the continuation/reboot that is Terminator Genisys, even after a very good first trailer. However now the movie is ready to really show us what it’s got up its sleeve, giving us a glimpse at exactly how Jason Clarke’s John Connor plays into a movie that takes place largely before he was born.

We already new that this would be a different version of sci-fi past than we’re familiar with, with Sarah Connor having been teamed up with Arnie’s Terminator for many years, but now we know her son is also heading back in time and he’s going to be… well, just look at the trailer below. Plus we also get a glimpse of 1984 Armie having a fight with 2015 Arnie, which should be fun.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘When John Connor (Jason Clarke), leader of the human resistance, sends Sgt. Kyle Reese (Jai Courtney) back to 1984 to protect Sarah Connor (Emilia Clarke) and safeguard the future, an unexpected turn of events creates a fractured timeline. Now, Sgt. Reese finds himself in a new and unfamiliar version of the past, where he is faced with unlikely allies, including the Guardian (Arnold Schwarzenegger), dangerous new enemies, and an unexpected new mission: To reset the future…’

The movie is due out July 3rd. [Read more…]

New Ant-Man Trailer – Paul Rudd is getting very small

April 13, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

ant-man-paul-rudd-shirtlessEver since was first rumoured Ant-Man sounded like an odd hero to get a blockbuster adventure, but seeing as people said the same about pretty much every other character Marvel’s given a movie – from Iron Man to Thor – before they went on to huge success, there’s every reason to believe this new movie will be worth a look too.

And that’s backed up by a new trailer, which does look nuts but also kinda fun, and even finds time to make a joke about the fact the hero’s title is a tiny bit silly.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘The next evolution of the Marvel Cinematic Universe brings a founding member of The Avengers to the big screen for the first time with Marvel Studios’ “Ant-Man.” Armed with the astonishing ability to shrink in scale but increase in strength, master thief Scott Lang must embrace his inner-hero and help his mentor, Dr. Hank Pym, protect the secret behind his spectacular Ant-Man suit from a new generation of towering threats. Against seemingly insurmountable obstacles, Pym and Lang must plan and pull off a heist that will save the world.

‘Marvel’s “Ant-Man” stars Paul Rudd as Scott Lang aka Ant-Man, Evangeline Lilly as Hope Van Dyne, Corey Stoll as Darren Cross aka Yellowjacket, Bobby Cannavale as Paxton, Michael Peña as Luis, Judy Greer as Maggie, Tip “Ti” Harris as Dave, David Dastmalchian as Kurt, Wood Harris as Gale, Jordi Mollà as Castillo and Michael Douglas as Hank Pym. Directed by Peyton Reed and produced by Kevin Feige, Marvel’s “Ant-Man” delivers a high-stakes, tension-filled adventure on July 17, 2015.’ [Read more…]

Sylvester Stallone Is Back As Rocky In The First Pic From Creed

April 13, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

creed-pic1-slideFor the past few years Sylvester Stallone has shown he’s certainly not afraid to revisit past success, and for the most part it’s worked, with decent box office for the likes of Rocky Balboa and Rambo. Now he’s bringing his famed boxing creation back once more for a movie that has the potential to become a franchise in its own right, but carrying on without him.

Now Stallone has shared the first picture from Creed, with features the actor in the ring alongside Michael B. Jordan as Adonis, the son of Rocky’s former opponent Apollo Creed.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Adonis Johnson (Jordan) never knew his famous father, world heavyweight champion Apollo Creed, who died before he was born. Still, there’s no denying that boxing is in his blood, so Adonis heads to Philadelphia, the site of Apollo Creed’s legendary match with a tough upstart named Rocky Balboa.

‘Once in the City of Brotherly Love, Adonis tracks Rocky (Stallone) down and asks him to be his trainer. Despite his insistence that he is out of the fight game for good, Rocky sees in Adonis the strength and determination he had known in Apollo—the fierce rival who became his closest friend. Agreeing to take him on, Rocky trains the young fighter, even as the former champ is battling an opponent more deadly than any he faced in the ring.

‘With Rocky in his corner, it isn’t long before Adonis gets his own shot at the title… but can he develop not only the drive but also the heart of a true fighter, in time to get into the ring?’

The movie is due out in November. [Read more…]

Win The Gay-Themed Land Of Storms On DVD!

April 11, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

land-of-storms-dvd-coverThe gay-themed Land Of Storms has had great success on the festival circuit and now it arrives on DVD in the UK via TLA Releasing on March 13th, 2015, and we’ve teamed up with them to give away three copies of the movie in this competition.

In a love triangle story that’s fresh, engrossing and sumptuously shot, freshman soccer player Szabi (András Sütő) has moved from Hungary to Germany to become a professional athlete. While he usually gets along with fellow player and roommate Bernard (Sebastian Urzendowsky), a lost game and a quarrel compel Szabi to return to Hungary, where he’s inherited his grandparents’ derelict home. One night, someone tries to steal his old bike, and that is how he meets Aron (Adam Varga), a young man from the village. What starts as a rough meeting changes when they begin to work together on the house. Their simple and basic life turns complicated when Bernard shows up from Germany. Then the locals start to react to the threesome.

Land of Storms is a strong, personal story of sexual awakening, self-discovery, and intolerance. Director Ádám Császi chose to concentrate on what the characters hide, revealing truths subtly rather than through visuals or dialogue, and all three actors give exceptionally strong performances. With his first feature, Császi convincingly reflects a topic that Hungarian cinema is unfamiliar with in a sincere and uncompromising gay love story.

To be in with a chance of winning one of the three copies of Land Of Storms on DVD that we’ve got to give away, answer the question below and fill in your details, then press submit! The competition closes on April 25th, 2015, so get answering and good luck! [Read more…]
