Crush Of The Day: Nolan Gerard Funk In His Underwear For Versace

By 1 Comment

nolan-funk-versace1-slide
I know it’s hard to believe, but some incredibly good looking refuse to pose for photographs in just their pants. Luckily though model/slash actor Nolan Gerard Funk isn’t one of them, and some very hot images of him taken for a new Versace campaign have now shown up online.

You can see them above and below.

Some of you may remember one of The Warblers who was out to sabotage New Direction in Glee. He was also recently in US cinemas in The Canyons and takes a role in the sci-fi flick Riddick, opposite Vin Diesel. On TV you can catch him in the latest season of MTV’s Awkward as Colin Jennings.

By Leave a Comment


Gregg Araki was at the forefront of the Queer Cinema movement on the 1990s, and indeed all his movies since then have had an LGBT tint.

When Hercules learns of his greater purpose, he must choose: to flee with his true love or to fulfill his destiny and become the true hero of his time. The story behind one of the greatest myths is revealed in this action-packed epic – a tale of love, sacrifice and the strength of the human spirit.’

Disney Channel Plans A Film Based Around The Kids Of Classic Villains

By Leave a Comment

Descendants-logo
The Disney Channel has had a great idea, even if it’s going to be difficult to make it work in practice – they’re going to give it a good try though. They’ve announced they’re making a live-action TV movie called Descendants, based around the kids of Disney villains.

Casting is now underway on the film, with High School Musical helmer Kenny Ortega set to direct.

Here’s the incredibly intriguing synopsis: ‘In a present day idyllic kingdom, the benevolent teenaged son of the King and Queen (Beast and Belle from Disney’s iconic “Beauty and the Beast”) is poised to take the throne. His first proclamation: offer a chance at redemption to the trouble-making offspring of Cruella De Vil, Maleficent, the Evil Queen and Jafar who have been imprisoned on a forbidden island with all the other villains, sidekicks, evil step-mothers and step-sisters.

‘These villainous descendants (Carlos, Mal, Evvie and Jay, respectively) are allowed into the kingdom to attend prep school alongside the offspring of iconic Disney heroes, including Fairy Godmother, Sleeping Beauty, Rapunzel and Mulan. However, the evil teens face a dilemma. Should they follow in their nefarious parents’ footsteps and help all the villains regain power or embrace their innate goodness and save the kingdom.’

It will be difficult not to make it come across as cheesy and a bit cheap on a Disney Channel budget, but we’d imagine the House Of Mouse is already eying the merchandising potential, so they’ll probably put a lot of effort in. The hope is to have is ready to screen in early 2015.

By Leave a Comment

casey-affleckCasey Affleck, Chiwetel Ejiofor and Michael B. Jordan are in talks to team up with the previously cast Christoph Waltz and Cate Blanchett in Triple Nine, according to TheWrap.

The movie is about a group of criminals who plan on murdering an LAPD cop (Casey Affleck), as they think this will divert attention away from the massive heist they are planning on the other side of town. Ejiofor will be the criminal mastermind behind the whole operation, while Michael B. Jordan is set to be a dirty cop who sets up Casey Affleck’s character.

Affleck is set replace Charlie Hunnam who was in talks to join the cast this summer. However the Sons Of Anarchy actor has since moved on. Cate Blanchett’s involvement however hinges on scheduling. John Hillcoat is directing from a screenplay by Matt Cook. The title, Triple Nine, refers to the police code for when an officer needs immediate assistance.

Ed Helms To Be Frank Drebin In The Naked Gun Reboot

By Leave a Comment

ed-helmsEd Helms was supposed to be rebooting the Vacation franchise, but that movie has been put on hold indefinitely. However it seems he’s still keen to take something from the 80s and give a new take, as Variety reports that he’s joined a remake of The Naked Gun spoof series.

Reno 911! creators Thomas Lennon and Robert Ben Garant have been brought on to write the screenplay, with Ed Helms playing Detective Frank Drebin, as originally played by Leslie Nielsen. There are rumours however that it may be a little different to the original movies and that it won’t be a straightforward police procedural.

Naked Gun began with the short-lived TV series Police Squad!, which was created by the team behind the spoof masterpiece Airplane!. It was cancelled after just six episodes in 1982, but a few years later in 1988 it took to the big screen as The Naked Gun: From the Files of Police Squad. That spawned the sequels The Naked Gun 2½ in 1991 and Naked Gun 33 1/3 in 1994.

At the moment the remake doesn’t have a director attached and it isn’t known when production may begin.

It’s eight years since Sin City was released, and ever since then we’ve been promised a follow-up. It’s certainly taken its time, and even after filming took place, it’s still been quite a wait, and indeed we won’t be getting to see it until next August.

However now the first official poster has arrived, which doesn’t exactly give us a lot of information, other than that it’s got a great cast.

The sequel features the return of Sin City stars Mickey Rourke, Jessica Alba, Bruce Willis and Rosario Dawson, along with newcomers such as Jamie Chung, Alexa Vega and Joseph Gordon-Levitt. A first trailer is expected soon.

Emilia Clarke Joins Terminator: Genesis As Sarah Connor

By Leave a Comment

Emilia-ClarkeA few days ago it was revealed that Jason Clarke is in talks to play John Connor in Terminator: Genesis. Now it’s been revealed that the film has found his mother in the form of Game Of Thrones star Emilia Clarke (and yes, she is 20 years younger than her on-screen son), according Deadline.

Clarke beat out Brie Larson, who was the other top contender for the role. No story details have been revealed yet, although there’s certainly going to have to be some time-travelling involved, with the suggestion the movie will involve Sarah at a time shortly before the first of the Terminator movies, and that this time she may be travelling to the future to meet her son in the form of Jason Clarke.

The movie is also seeking an actor to play Kyle Reese, John Connor’s father, who was portrayed by Michael Biehn in The Terminator.

Alan Taylor (Thor: The Dark World) is directing from a screenplay by Laeta Kalogridis and Patrick Lussier. It isn’t known when filming will begin.

Win The Hilarious We’re The Millers On DVD!

By Leave a Comment

were-the-millers-dvd-coverTo celebrate the release of WE’RE THE MILLERS, OUT ON BLU-RAY AND DVD ON 16TH DECEMBER, we’ve got a competition for two lucky people to win their own copy of WE’RE THE MILLERS on DVD!

David Burke (Sudeikis) is a small-time pot dealer whose clientele includes chefs and soccer moms, but no kids—after all, he has his scruples. So what could go wrong? Plenty. Preferring to keep a low profile for obvious reasons, he learns the hard way that no good deed goes unpunished when he tries to help out some local teens and winds up getting jumped by a trio of gutter punks. Stealing his stash and his cash, they leave him in major debt to his supplier, Brad (Ed Helms).

In order to wipe the slate clean—and maintain a clean bill of health—David must now become a big-time drug smuggler by bringing Brad’s latest shipment in from Mexico. Twisting the arms of his neighbours, cynical stripper Rose (Aniston) and wannabe customer Kenny (Will Poulter), and the tatted-and-pierced streetwise teen Casey (Emma Roberts), he devises a fool proof plan. One fake wife, two pretend kids and a huge, shiny RV later, the “Millers” are headed south of the border for a Fourth of July weekend that is sure to end with a bang.

Director: Rawson Marshall Thurber
Cast: Jennifer Aniston, Jason Sudeikis, Will Poulter, Emma Roberts, Ed Helms

Kellan Lutz Gets His Shirt Off In New The Legend Of Hercules Pics

By Leave a Comment

legend-of-hercules-new-pic5
Early next year The Legend Of Hercules hits cinemas, and it seems it’s not in denial that one of its main selling point is the hunkiness of The Legend Of Hercules. All of the promotion so far has relied on the Twilight star’s shirtlessness, and that’s true of many of these new images that have arrived, and which you can see above and below.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘In Ancient Greece 1200 B.C., a queen succumbs to the lust of Zeus to bear a son promised to overthrow the tyrannical rule of the king and restore peace to a land in hardship. But this prince, Hercules, knows nothing of his real identity or his destiny. He desires only one thing: the love of Hebe, Princess of Crete, who has been promised to his own brother. When Hercules learns of his greater purpose, he must choose: to flee with his true love or to fulfill his destiny and become the true hero of his time. The story behind one of the greatest myths is revealed in this action-packed epic – a tale of love, sacrifice and the strength of the human spirit.’

The Renny Harlin directed movie is out in January. Of course it’s not the only Hercules film out next year, as another one starring Dwayne Johnson is due out in the summer – that will undoubtedly involve plenty of shirtless guys too. [Read more…]
