Home Trailer – Fresh look at the upcoming animated alien movie

June 16, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

home-animated-pic1Dreamworks Animation has had a rather hit and miss couple of years. While The Croods was a hit, the recent Mr Peabody & Sherman flopped and last week’s US opening of How To Train Your Dragon 2 wasn’t a big as they’d hoped.

They’re obviously hoping to avoid a repeat with the upcoming Home. A couple of months ago we got a four-minute short film, and now comes the trailer.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘When Earth is taken over by the overly-confident Boov, an alien race in search of a new place to call home, all humans are promptly relocated, while all Boov get busy reorganizing the planet. But when one resourceful girl, Tip, (Rihanna) manages to avoid capture, she finds herself the accidental accomplice of a banished Boov named Oh (Jim Parsons). The two fugitives realize there’s a lot more at stake than intergalactic relations as they embark on the road trip of a lifetime.’

Home will feature the voices of the likes of Rihanna, Jim Parsons, Steve Martin and Jennifer Lopez. It’s due to hit cinemas December 2014. [Read more…]

Romeo & Romeo Trailer – The high and lows of love and life for a young gay rocker

June 16, 2014 By Tim Isaac 4 Comments

romeo-and-romeoHow do you get a trailer before a film has been shot? It’s actually more common than you might expect, as it’s a great way to drum up interest, especially if the plan is to get the film in the can and onto screens as quickly as possible.

The trailer above for the upcoming gay-themed film Romeo & Romeo gives us a taste of the movie, which should shoot this summer ready for a planned premiere by December!

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Zak Lawson was a pop star who came out of nowhere, and reached the top of the billboard charts at the age of 14. He met bad boy Trent at the peak of his career, bad news. Trent dragged Zak down a road full of drugs and alcohol. He spiralled out of control, and his career was over. Years later Zak faces the past head on, finding out buried secrets which test his sobriety.’

At the moment Tyler Bradley is going to be very busy, playing the lead role, co-writing the script, producing and directing the film. You can find out more about the movie on its Facebook page. [Read more…]

Elton John’s Billy Elliot The Musical Is Heading To Cinemas For One Night Only

June 16, 2014 By Tim Isaac 1 Comment

BILLY-ELLIOTT-LIVE-ONE-SHEETOn Sunday 28th September 2014, the very LGBTQ-friendly Billy Elliot the Musical is set to bring cinema goers to their feet when it is broadcast live from the West End to cinemas across the UK and around the world.

Based on the Academy Award nominated film, Billy Elliot the Musical has been dazzling London’s theatergoers at the Victoria Palace Theatre since 2005, and has gone on to captivate audiences around the world, winning over 80 theatre awards globally including 10, 2009 Tony Awards and 5 Olivier Awards.

Set in a northern mining town against the background of the 1984/’85 miners’ strike, Billy Elliot is the inspirational story of a young boy’s struggle against the odds to make his dream come true. Billy’s journey takes him out of the boxing ring and into a ballet class where he discovers a passion for dance that inspires his family and whole community and changes his life forever.

The internationally celebrated show, which has now been seen by over 9.5 million people worldwide, is brought to life by the multiple award-winning creative team behind the film including writer Lee Hall (book & lyrics), director Stephen Daldry, and choreographer, Peter Darling, joined by music legend Elton John who composed the show’s score.

Elton commented,  “Billy Elliot has always had a very special place in my heart and being involved in the musical has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life.  Broadcasting the show live to cinemas is a new venture for all of us and will make for a very special event.  It’s going to be a thrilling day for everyone at our home at the Victoria Palace Theatre in London and we hope cinema audiences will be as excited as we are to see Billy Elliot the Musical brought to life for the first time on screen.”

Lee Hall meanwhile had this to say, “It will be great to see Billy Elliot achieve another milestone at what is set to be an amazing event.  At our home in the West End we usually perform to an audience of 1,500.  It is wonderful to think that this special performance will be seen by people in their local cinemas across many countries. This next chapter will be particularly poignant for us as Billy will briefly be returning to his beginnings on the cinema screen.”

New Father Of The Bride Film Plans A Gay Wedding, With Steve Martin Returning

June 16, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

father-of-the-bride-1991How do you make a Father Of The Bride movie without a bride? As a result, don’t be surprised if the film changes its name to Father Of The Groom, but a third movie in the Steve Martin franchise is being planned, which will revolve around his gay son.

According to nikkifinke.com, a follow up to 1991’s Father Of The Bride and its 1995 sequel is in the works, which will see Steve Martin back as George Banks. While the first two movies followed Banks as he gave away his daughter and then had to learn to accept that she was now a woman, the third instalment will shift the focus to his son, Matty (originally played by Kieran Culkin), who’s now 29 and lets his parents know he intends to marry the son of a Navy SEAL.

George is apparently “thunderstruck and speechless”, as he’s not a big fan of all things gay. However in a show of solidarity with her child, George’s reaction results in his wife Nina (Diane Keaton) kicking him out of the house.

There are rights issues to be sorted, as while Disney/Touchstone made the 1991 and 1995 movies, Warner Bros now owns the original 1950 Father Of The Bride, starring Spencer Tracy, that the Steve Martin films were based on. Disney is apparently keen to make the new film and are currently trying to get the rights issues straightened. And with more and more US States allowing gay people to get married, it may allow them to catch the Zeitgeist (if the film is good).

Assuming everything is sorted out, original director and co-writer Charles Shyer will return to helm this third movie.

Coming Out Straight Comedy Short Film – How do you explain to your gay dads that you’re straight?

June 16, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

coming-out-straightI don’t think we ought to show us to the sort of anti-gay nutters who think same-sex parents will force their kids to be gay and take part in the gay agenda plot to destroy civilisation. However for those of us who aren’t nuts we can just take this as a funny reversal of the usual coming out story.

Here we have two gay dads who spent the last 16 years assuming their teenage son will grow up gay. However he’s got something to tell them!

Was it the Old Spice that made him straight? If he just sleeps with a boy will it help with the ‘problem’? Maybe it’s just a phase? Perhaps it’s just that he likes girlish boys?

Will the dads be able to come to terms with this shocking revelation? Take a look below. [Read more…]

Want To Help Colby Keller Make Porn (& Art) All Across North America?

June 16, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

colby-kellerColby Keller is not your average porn star. Indeed while to many people he’s just a hot, hairy guy who pops up in some exceedingly good sex scenes, Colby himself seems to view what he does through more artistic eyes – while never being afraid to say he’s a bit of a horndog.

Indeed he’s got a bit of a hipster spirit and anyone who’s ever read his blog, Big Shoe Diaries, will know he’s very smart and passionate about modern art, both created by others and by himself. For example, recently he turned a major life change into an art piece. As he says, “Out of necessity, I had to get rid of stuff but thanks to my awesome friends, family and fans, I was able to turn the process into an art practice and I feel immensely satisfied (not too mention light).”

Now he’s planning the next part of his life journey, and he’s bringing his artistic, erotic and hipster sides together to do it. But he needs your help! Colby has launched an IndieGoGo campaign, ‘Colby Does America… And Canada Too’, with the hope he can “procure a van, a mattress and a fancy camera so that I can travel across the country making porn and blogging in all 50 states and Canada.”

Normally we’d think someone asking the world for cash so they can go on a road-trip is a little egotistical, but with Colby you know you’re going to get something interesting, and the promise of porn across North America might be worth a donation too.

Colby also has an explanation of why you should donate, saying “You’ve worked hard for your money and why should you give it some flaky porn star? Well, I’m a hard worker and people have noticed. I’ve run my blog successfully for five years and been featured on Salon.com, the Advocate, OUT, New York Press, Next Magazine, Jacobin, Queerty, The Awl, Huffington Post and slew of other online and print outlets. I even won a World of Wonder (they’re the ones that produce RuPaul’s Drag Race) WOWie Award for Best Blog last year!

“And you can ask anyone in the jizz biz and you’ll hear that I’m one of the HARDest working and most professional porn stars out there. (wink)”

While Colby suggests it’s all about sex, there’s no doubt that his BigShoesDiaries blog will continue to offer a lot more than that, including Keller’s trips to museums, thoughts on culture and what are essentially collaborative art projects, albeit unusual ones (such as how he built a library of rather deep books on philosophy, art and literature by the seemingly lowbrow method of asking people to send them to him, and in return he’d take a photo holding the book while he’s got a boner. Is that art? Yep, it is, but not what you’d normally think it to be).

If you want to help out and see where Colby can take the edge between full-on porn and life-as-art, watch the video below and head then over to IndieGoGo. [Read more…]

Looking Back At Gay Rights In The 1990s & 2000s With Vintage News Clips

June 16, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

prop-8-rainbow-flagOver the last couple of weeks we’ve posted SuchIsLife’s videos compiling vintage news footage chronicling the gay rights struggle in the 1970s and 1980s, and now come ones for the 1990s and 2000s.

It’s a fascinating journey and comparing how the new looked at gay people in the 1970s (where we were pretty much presented like aliens) to the increasing acceptance growing through the 1990s and 2000s is very illuminating. It’s also interesting how by the 90s and 00s gay people were getting better at telling their own stories, whereas in the previous decades we were viewed solely through the media eyes of straight people.

However it’s not all good news, with clips dealing with things such as outing celebrities against their will as well as the emergence of the highly unsatisfactory ‘don’t ask don’t tell’ policy in the US military. It’s also in the 90s where the real mainstream ‘culture wars’ over gay rights emerged, with numerous laws and court cases both advancing and preventing gay rights.

While there’s still certainly division in the 2000s, the clips suggest a forward momentum has been reached in a way that’s never been seen before.

It’s well worth watching all four videos as it’s a fascinating journey full of great footage. So take a look at the vids from the 1970s and 1980s, and then watch the 90s and 2000s below. [Read more…]

Learn To Body Roll With The Male Strippers From Joe Manganiello’s La Bare

June 15, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

la-bare-biggerJoe Manganiello likes male strippers, or at least he became fascinated with them after Magic Mike,  to the point where he’s made his directorial debut with a documentary about them. The film is due to debut in the US later this month, and to get us in the mood a new clip has been released where we get to find out how to do the body roll.

You can take a look at that below, but be prepared to have a hot flush! Unfortunately I don’t think I’d look as sexy if I tried to do it.

la-bare-body-roll

Manganiello said of the film at its Slamdance premiere, “I had zero interest in male stripping prior to Magic Mike. As a straight male, I had a lot of misperceptions about the industry. People would walk out of Magic Mike saying  ’I loved it but I wish there was more of the guys. I wish I knew more about them, where they live, who they go out with, what their lives are like.’ So I knew there was a lot left on the table.”

And part of what was left of the table was apparently the subtle art of the body roll.

The movie has a US debut set for June 27th. [Read more…]

New Dolphin Tale 2 Trailer – The tail-less sea mammal is back

June 15, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

dolphin-tale-2-posterAfter 2011′s Dolphin Tale made nearly $100 million at the worldwide box office and proved a big success on DVD, it was enough to ensure a sequel in now on its way. Now we’ve got a full trailer for the movie, which you can watch below.

All the main players are returning, including Morgan Freeman, Harry Connick Jr., Ashley Judd, Kris Kristofferson and director Charles Martin Smith.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘It has been several years since young Sawyer Nelson (Gamble) and the dedicated team at the Clearwater Marine Hospital, headed by Dr. Clay Haskett (Connick, Jr.), rescued Winter. With the help of Dr. Cameron McCarthy (Freeman), who developed a unique prosthetic tail for the injured dolphin, they were able to save her life.

‘Yet their fight is not over. Winter’s surrogate mother, the very elderly dolphin Panama, has passed away, leaving Winter without the only poolmate she has ever known. However, the loss of Panama may have even greater repercussions for Winter, who, according to USDA regulations, cannot be housed alone, as dolphins’ social behavior requires them to be paired with other dolphins. Time is running out to find a companion for her before the team at Clearwater loses their beloved Winter to another aquarium.’

Once again it’s loosely based on a true story, with dolphin Winter playing herself. Expect it in cinemas this October. [Read more…]

Keanu Reeves Finds The Whole Truth, Replacing Daniel Craig On The Legal Drama

June 15, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

keanu-reevesOh dear, Keanu Reeves is going to try to do some proper acting again. Deadline reports he’s signed up to star in the courtroom drama The Whole Truth. The movie had a massive spanner thrown in the works in April when Daniel Craig dropped out of the lead role just a few days before filming was due to begin.

That caused a delay, but now Reeves has stepped into the role and the shoot will now begin next month. It’s still now known why Craig left.

Renée Zellweger, Gabriel Basso and Gugu Mbatha-Raw are still on board for the legal drama, which is about a defence attorney (Reeves) who is fighting to acquit his teenage client, who is in trial for the murder of his wealthy father.

Courtney Hunt (Frozen River) is directing from a screenplay by Nicholas Kazan.
