Win Leatherface & A Horror Movie Bundle On DVD!

January 7, 2018 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

To celebrate the home entertainment release of LEATHERFACE, available now on digital download and on DVD from 8th January 2018, we have a DVD bundle up for grabs which includes Leatherface, The Blair Witch, Texas Chainsaw, Cage Dive, and The Autopsy of Jane Doe, courtesy of Lionsgate Home Entertainment!

When the original The Texas Chain Saw Massacre burst onto the screen in 1974, a new horror legend was born, in the form of a mumbling, bumbling, flesh-masked, chainsaw wielding maniac – Leatherface! Seven films and untold gruesome deaths later, audiences can finally find out who lurks behind the mask – and how he got there, in this stylish, scary and blood-soaked prequel.

The directors – masters of horror Alexandre Bustillo and Julien Maury – are a perfect fit for the material, having shocked audiences with their 2007 gory Gallic debut Inside, described by Twitch as ‘one of the harshest, most brutal and disturbing things to hit celluloid in recent years’. Here, the pair deliver brooding menace and nightmarish psychological horror, all the while ratcheting up the tension to the ninth degree.

With a fantastic cast – including genre favourites Stephen Dorff (Blade) and Lili Taylor (The Conjuring), as well as Game of Thrones star Finn Jones – this is a worthy addition to the Chain Saw franchise, and a thrilling examination of the genesis of a monster who is ranked alongside Freddy and Jason as one of the greatest horror characters ever.

The eagerly-awaited home entertainment debut of this slick, sick horror flick will have horror fans drooling with delight.

A Film Version Of Gay Catholic Musical Bare: A Pop Opera Is In The Works

January 7, 2018 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Despite the popularity of musicals among gay men, there aren’t actually that many successful stage musicals that cover gay issues – at least openly. However one that’s remained popular since it debuted in 2000 in Los Angeles is Bare: A Pop Opera. Since then it’s played Off-Broadway, in London, Sydney, Houston, Buenos Aires and many other places around the globe.

Now the gay-themed musical is getting turned into a movie, with original director, Tony nominee Kristin Hanggi, returning to adapt the screenplay and helm the film. The original show is a ‘musical with a book by Jon Hartmere and Damon Intrabartolo, lyrics by Hartmere and music by Intrabartolo. The story focuses on two gay high school students and their struggles at their private Catholic High School.’ Jason is the star pupil at the school, but he’s also secretly dating his roommate Peter. It deals with a variety of issues, including bullying, discrimination, religion, and suicide, and has come be to be seen as a significant piece in the hostiry of gay theatre.

It debuted in 2000 at the Hudson Theatre in Los Angeles, then at the American Theater of Actors Off-Broadway in 2004. With numerous other production staged around the globe, it’s gained many fans. Indeed there’s enough that the makers of the movie are looking for people to submit one-minute videos about ‘how the musical bare impacted and changed your life’. You can find out more about that over at the film’s official website.

Take a look below to watch Navigate This Maze, about the creation of the musical. Hopefully it won’t be too long until we get to see the film version. [Read more…]

Winchester: The House That Ghosts Built Trailer – Helen Mirren plans to lock up ghosts!

January 7, 2018 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Helen Mirren may not have been cast in the female reboot of Ghostbusters, but that’s not going to stop her trying to bust some ghosts – and get historical while doing it. She’s starring in Winchester: The House That Ghosts Built, which has just dropped a new trailer.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Inspired by true events. On an isolated stretch of land 50 miles outside of San Francisco sits the most haunted house in the world. Built by Sarah Winchester (Academy Award®-winner Helen Mirren), heiress to the Winchester fortune, it is a house that knows no end. Constructed in an incessant twenty-four hour a day, seven day a week mania for decades, it stands seven stories tall and contains hundreds of rooms. To the outsider it looks like a monstrous monument to a disturbed woman’s madness. But Sarah is not building for herself, for her niece (Sarah Snook) or for the brilliant Doctor Eric Price (Jason Clarke) whom she has summoned to the house. She is building a prison, an asylum for hundreds of vengeful ghosts, and the most terrifying among them have a score to settle with the Winchesters…’

Winchester: The House That Ghosts Built is released in UK cinemas 2nd February 2018. Take a look at the new trailer below. [Read more…]

Ridley Scott May Take On Disney’s The Merlin Saga

January 7, 2018 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Ridley Scott recently turned 80, but he’s showing no signs of slowing down. He released two movies in 2017 (Alien: Covenant and All The Money In The World), and now he’s lining up his next flick.

Variety reports that the current most likely contender is Disney’s The Merlin Saga, which Scott is in talks to direct. Although he hasn’t signed on the dotted line, sources suggest is will likely be his next movie.

The film will be based on T.A. Barron’s books, which follow ‘the origin story of a young Merlin who would go on to become the mentor of the classic literary character King Arthur.’

While several King Arthur movies have been in development all over Hollywood, and Guy Ritchie’s recent Arthurian film starring Charlie Hunnam failed, Disney still thinks it’s worth betting on. As well as The Merlin Saga, they’re also working on a live-action version of Sword In The Stone. Scott has apparently met the producers of that movie, which suggests they’re hoping the two can live alongside one another, perhaps building the sort of Arthurian franchise Ritchie was hoping for (but more magical).

Philippa Boyens, best known for co-writing many of Peter Jackson’s movies, including Lord Of The Rings and The Hobbit, is set to pen the screenplay. It’s not known when we might see the movie.

Ellen Page Announces That She’s Married Girlfriend Emma Portner

January 4, 2018 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Juno, X-Men and Inception star Ellen Page is a married woman! The out and proud actress announced via social media that she’d tied the knot with her girlfriend – now wife – Emma Portner.

Alongside images of the couple of their hands complete with wedding rings, Page wrote on Instagram, ‘Can’t believe I get to call this extraordinary woman my wife. @emmaportner’.

No information has been released about the ceremony or when they swapped vows. That’s in keeping with a relationship where they’ve never hidden they were together, but haven’t gone out of their way to court publicity either. They have been seen together in public on various occassions though, such as at the premiere of Page’s film, Flatliners.

Portner is a New York based dancer and choreographer, who teaches at the Broadway Dance Center.

Congratulations to both of them! [Read more…]

Slender Man Trailer – The internet horror character is getting its own movie

January 4, 2018 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

In the past few years many strange things have emerged from the Internet. One of those things is Slender Man, who started life as part of a creepypasta story in 2009, before growing and morphing as other people brought new attributes and ideas to the horror character. It’s also got a bit too close to real life on a few occassions, not least when two 12-year-old girls stabbed someone 19 times and almost killed them in the hope of pleasing the fictional character.

Now though Slender Man is getting its own movie.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘In a small town in Massachusetts, four high school girls perform a ritual in an attempt to debunk the lore of SLENDER MAN. When one of the girls goes mysteriously missing, they begin to suspect that she is, in fact, HIS latest victim.’

Take a look at the first trailer for the movie below. The film is due in cinemas May 18th. [Read more…]

Truth or Dare Trailer – Tyler Posey & Lucy Hale get into some supernatural horror

January 4, 2018 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Jason Blum and his Blumhouse Productions company has managed to almost monopolise popular horror with everything from Get Out and the Paranormal Activity series to Insidious and The Purge. The producer is hoping to add another hit to the list with Truth or Dare.

Synopsis: ‘Lucy Hale (Pretty Little Liars) and Tyler Posey (Teen Wolf) lead the cast of Blumhouse’s Truth or Dare, a supernatural thriller from Blumhouse Productions (Happy Death Day, Get Out, Split). A harmless game of “Truth or Dare” among friends turns deadly when someone-or something-begins to punish those who tell a lie-or refuse the dare.

‘Directed by Jeff Wadlow (Kick-Ass 2), the thriller co-stars Violett Beane, Nolan Gerard Funk, Hayden Szeto and Sophia Taylor Ali. The film was produced by Blumhouse’s Jason Blum and executive produced by Wadlow.’

The film is due in cinemas this Spring. Take a look at the trailer below. [Read more…]

Gay-Themed Hit Call Me By Your Name Could Become A Series Of Films Told Over Decades

January 2, 2018 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

There’s currently a lot of speculation over whether the Oscars will shower praise on Call Me By Your Name or ignore it. Either way, it’s become one of the most praised and highest profile gay-themed releases of the past few years, and has certainly filled a lot of column inches.

Now director Luca Guadagnino has suggested this may not be the last we see of Elio (Timothee Chalamet) and Oliver (Armie Hammer). He’s previously hinted that he’d be interested in a sequel, but now he’s posited the idea of a series of films, potentially told over many years. There is material for this, as while the film suggests a finality to the love affair between 17-year-old Elio and 25-year-old Oliver, the original novel it’s based on quickly details what happens to the duo over the next couple of decades.

Talking to The Guardian, Guadagnino says, “These characters are so fantastic, and I want to know what happens to them. The last 40 pages of the book tell you about 20 years in the life of Oliver and Elio. So I started to think about Michael Apted’s Up, and the cycle of films [Francois] Truffaut devoted to the character of Antoine Doinel. And I thought, maybe it’s not a question of sequel, it’s a question of chronicling everyone in this film. I think seeing these characters growing in the bodies of these actors will be quite fantastic.”

Apted’s Up is a documentary series which has followed the same group of people from when they were seven, with the last film catching up with them when they were 56. Antoine Doinel meanwhile was essentially Truffaut’s alter-ego, who he included in several features and short films, over the course of more than 20 years.

This suggests that rather than an imminent sequel, Guadagnino envisions waiting a few years and then making a move that catches up with his characters, or perhaps just one of the characters, and shows up where their life has gone. It’s certainly an interesting idea, although one that is pretty ambitious, so even if he wants to do it, there’s no guarantee he’ll be able to. Equally, Call Me By Your Name is such a potent mixture, not least 89-year-old James Ivory’s meticulous and brilliant screenplay, that it would be difficult to capture lightning in a bottle again. It’ll certainly be interesting to see if it happens.
