Life Partners Clip – Leighton Meester & Adam Brody star in the LGBT-infused film that’s set to open Outfest

July 9, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

life-partnersTomorrow is the opening of LA’s Outfest, arguably the biggest LGBT film festival in the world, and the movie chosen for the first night is Life Partners, which features a great cast including the likes of Leighton Meester, Gillian Jacobs, Adam Brody, Beth Dover, Gabourey Sidibe, Greer Grammer, Mark Feuerstein, and SNL’s Kate McKinnon and Abby Elliott.

It’s a very good time then to take a look at the trailer.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘The comedy is about a codependent friendship between two very different girls – type-A Paige (Gillian Jacobs) and lesbian slacker Sasha (Leighton Meester) – who have made a pact. Paige has vowed that she won’t get married until Sasha has the same legal right. All is fine until Paige meets Tim (Brody), a young and charming doctor- and as this relationship heats up, Paige and Sasha have to learn how to work Tim into their friendship. As a crucial vote on gay marriage approaches, the threesome struggle with the issues of love, friendship, and loyalty.’ [Read more…]

Age Of Consent Trailer – Inside the sex-infused world of one of London’s gay leather bars

July 9, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

age-of-consent-poster-slideThe documentary Age Of Consent premiered back in March at London’s BFI Flare Lesbian & Gay Film Festival, and now it’s set to make its NYC debut on Saturday July 26th At NewFest! That seems like a good reason to take a look at the trailer for this no-holds barred look in the gay leather bar scene.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘This documentary by festival favourites Lum and Verow tells the story of The Hoist (open since 1996 and now one of London’s only surviving leather bars) and in doing so tells the story of gay sex from decriminalization to Grindr, taking in police entrapment, the Spanner case, safer sex and Section 28. Age of Consent is informative and eye-opening – did you know more gay men were arrested and convicted of gross indecency in 1989 than in 1966? – while being playful, funny and downright filthy.

‘Described by the barman as a ‘sneaky, sexy, dirty wee hole’, The Hoist and its patrons could be seen as representing the antithesis of the recent trend in mainstream gay politics towards assimilation. But, with encroaching gentrification and more people using the internet to hook up, what does the future hold?’

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

Brandon Routh Joins The Hot Guys Of Arrow For Season 3

July 9, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

brandon-routhI presume that when the producers are thinking of bringing a new male character into TV’s Arrow, the top of the list when it comes to casting is that they must being very good looking. They’re certainly keeping with that for Season 3, as the likes of Stephen Amell, Colton Haynes and David Ramsey, will be joined by Superman Returns star Brandon Routh.

Variety reports that he will play Ray Palmer, also known as The Atom. The ‘character is a scientist and inventor that will have an unexpected yet mysterious role in the lives of Oliver (Amell) and Felicity (Emily Bett Rickards)’.

In the comics Palmer can shrink down to subatomic size. It’ll be interesting to see whether they keep that in Arrow. So far the show has largely eschewed characters with the more fantastical kinds of special powers, however with The Flash getting a sister show to Arrow, it may well be that these things will become a more regular part of the show.

We’ll just have to wait and see what they do with Routh.

Exodus: Gods And Kings Trailer – Christian Bale & Joel Edgerton go head-to-head in the biblical epic

July 9, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

exodus-gods-and-kings-slideOne of this winter’s most intriguing films is Exodus: Gods And Kings, which is a big gamble for both Fox and 20th Century Fox. They are hoping that with Gladiator director Ridley Scott directing and legions of religious folks who may be interested in film about Moses, it will be a hit. However historical epics of this sort are often tough sells.

Fox is now getting the ball rolling, as after some images arrived a few days ago, we now get a first trailer, which seems keen to sell us on the scale as well as the rivalry between Christian Bale’s Moses and Joel Edgerton’s Ramses.

As you would expect, the story follows Moses, an Israelite who grew up as part of the Egyptian royal household, but who goes up against the Pharaoh Ramses so that he can lead the Israelites out of Egypt and into the Promised Land. Cue plagues, battles and at some point the Red Sea will need to be parted.

Exodus: Gods and Kings is due out in December. [Read more…]

Felony Trailer – Joel Edgerton & Jai Courtney are thrown into a massive moral dilemma

July 9, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Felony-Joel-Edgerton-Tom-WilkinsonAfter decent reports for its film festival screenings, the thriller Felony is now in the run up to its cinema release. While it doesn’t appear firm UK or US dates are set yet, it’s out in Australia on August 28th.

The film stars Joel Edgerton (who also wrote the script) as a decorated police officer, who when driving home after a celebration drink with his team after the long waited bust of a major gang, runs a young cyclist off the road. As he gives CPR to the child, fellow officers arrive to take his statement. In a split second decision he tells them a lie about the accident, which will change all their lives in this edge of your seat thriller.

Jai Courtney is another cop who suspects that Edgerton has been lying, while Tom Wilkinson is the lead police investigator who arrives on the scene following the accident.

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

Extended Guardians Of The Galaxy Promo – Chris Pratt shows off the fun of Marvel’s imminent space adventure

July 9, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

guardians-of-the-galaxy-poster2-slideIt’s only a few weeks until we can see whether Marvel’s slight gamble with Guardians Of The Galaxy will pay off – and if the evidence of this extended promo is anything to go by, it’s going to do very well indeed.

Take a look at it below.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘From Marvel, the studio that brought you the global blockbuster franchises of Iron Man, Thor, Captain America and The Avengers, comes a new team—the Guardians of the Galaxy. An action-packed, epic space adventure, Marvel’s “Guardians of the Galaxy” expands the Marvel Cinematic Universe into the cosmos, where brash adventurer Peter Quill finds himself the object of an unrelenting bounty hunt after stealing a mysterious orb coveted by Ronan, a powerful villain with ambitions that threaten the entire universe.

Gus Van Sant Takes On Manga Adaptation Death Note

July 9, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

gus-van-santAlthough The Tracking Board has been rather hit and miss with its scoops, it’s reporting that Gus Van Sant has signed up to direct an adaptation of the Japanese manga Death Note. Back in 2011 Shane Black was set to helm, but he left quite a while ago and since then the movie version has been on the backburner.

However it does appear Van Sant will be working from a script by Black, Anthony Bagarozzi and Charles Mondry.

The project is based on the manga series written by Tsugumi Ôba and illustrated by Takeshi Obata, which revolves around a college student named Light who finds a mysterious notebook that has the unique power to kill anyone whose name is written in it. When the student uses his newfound power to rid the streets of criminals, he is pursued by an FBI criminologist.

The manga series, which has sold over 38 million copies worldwide, has spawned a number of films and TV shows in Japan. It’s certainly a premise with some possibilities, and while it’s something rather different from what we’ve come to expect from Van Sant – who’s best known for the likes of Milk and Good Will Hunting – he could turn it into something interesting.

At the moment there’s no news on when the film might shoot.

Ridley Scott Plans David and Goliath Movie

July 9, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

ridley-scottRidley Scott must feel that after helming his upcoming epic, Exodus, Biblical dramas are a good bet, as he’s partnering once more with 20th Century Fox and Chernin Entertainment for a movie about King David, according to Variety.

Jonathan W. Stokes (Blood Mountain) will write the screenplay, which has the working title David. It’s likely to focus on the period when he was King of Israel, well after his early exploits defeating the mighty Goliath.

It appears Ridley Scott is currently just attached to produce, but as with the many porjects he has in development, if he likes the direction it’s going in, he may step in to direct.

If he does helm, it’ll be a while until he gets around to it, as it’s believed be will shoot The Martian with Matt Damon this autumn, and it’s been suggested he wants to move straight onto Prometheus 2 after that (which already has a March 2016 release date pencilled in, although most expect that to slip).

Dwayne Johnson Up For Robert Ludlum Adaptation, The Janson Directive

July 9, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

dwayne-johnsonDwayne Johnson wants all the franchises! He’s already muscled into Fast & Furious and GI Joe, and this summer’s Hercules has plenty of sequel potential. That’s not enough for him though, as Variety reports that Universal Pictures is in early talks with Johnson to star in their adaptation of Robert Ludlum’s novel The Janson Directive.

The studio has been planning a movie adaptation for several years, but while John Hlavin (Underworld Awakening, Risk) was hired to write a script back in 2001, the movie got trapped in development hell. Now Universal is seeking writers to start over, writing specifically for Dwayne Johnson, he will also produce.

The novel, which was published a year after Ludlum’s death in 2001, centres on Paul Janson, a former Navy SEAL and spy for the government agency Consular Operations. Now he makes his living as a security consultant, and takes on a job to rescue a prominent civilian. Things go south when Janson is targeted for assassination, and he follows the clues which uncover a massive conspiracy.

Inevitably, Universal wants this to be a Jason Bourne-esque franchise, hoping that the Ludlum connection can help them catch lightning in a bottle twice.

Disney Plans A Live Action Dumbo Movie

July 9, 2014 By Tim Isaac 1 Comment

Dumbo-slideAt this rate Disney is soon going to run out of classic animated movies to turn live-action, as it’s been announced that Transformers writer Ehren Kruger has been hired to pen a live action take on Dumbo for the studio, according to THR.

While the likes of Maleficent, Alice In Wonderland and the upcoming Cinderella made sense for a live action version, Dumbo is a rather different proposition as it barely has any human roles at all, instead focussing of circus animal.

Presumably the idea is to use a mix of CG and real animals to create the baby elephant who is constantly teased for his big ears. After his mother gets locked up for protecting him against bullies, Dumbo hits the road with his mouse pal, Timothy, and eventually learns that he can soar high in the sky, flying with the help of feather he believes in magical.

It’s easy to see why Disney is betting big on these live-action takes on the classic film, as Alice in Wonderland grossen over $1 billion worldwide, and this summer’s Maleficent has already made over $600. With other big budget Disney films like Lone Ranger and John Carter failing, new takes on animated classics seems to be their best bet.

As well as Cinderella coming May 2015, they are also developing The Jungle Book (which should also be out next year), Beauty and the Beast and The Little Mermaid.

Gone Girl Trailer – Can you follow the clues of David Fincher’s Ben Affleck mystery?

July 7, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

gone-girl-slideThe first full trailer for David Fincher’s Gone Girl has arrived, along with a few posters, all of which seem designed to give us plenty of clues and up the mystery of this upcoming thriller. Plus we get our first proper look at Neil Patrick Harris in full-on creepy mode for the film.

Ben Affleck plays a husband whose wife (Rosamund Pike) goes missing on their fifth wedding anniversary. Inevitably the hubby becomes the primary suspect in her mysterious disappearance, with the signs of a struggle making many assume he has killed her, especially when reasons emerge as to why he might have wanted her out of the way. However, as we learn more about the couple’s relationship, things become much more complex than they first appear.

Fans of the book will be interested to see how they’re going to handle telling the story in the movie version, as one of the main keys to the novel is that half of it is told in the present by the husband, with the other half being the wife’s diary’s. It’s a structure that allows it to go to unexpected places, and it’ll be fascinating to see how Fincher handles that on screen.

The film is due out autumn 2014. Take a look at the trailer and new posters below. [Read more…]
