Edge Of Tomorrow Trailer – Tom Cruise dies over and over again in the action sci-fi!

December 11, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment


Another of the big movies that’s bidding for massive audiences next summer has released a trailer – the Tom Cruise sci-fi Edge Of Tomorrow.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘The epic action of ‘Edge of Tomorrow’ unfolds in a near future in which an alien race has hit the Earth in an unrelenting assault, unbeatable by any military unit in the world. Major William Cage (Tom Cruise) is an officer who has never seen a day of combat when he is unceremoniously dropped into what amounts to a suicide mission. Killed within minutes, Cage now finds himself inexplicably thrown into a time loop—forcing him to live out the same brutal combat over and over, fighting and dying again…and again. But with each battle, Cage becomes able to engage the adversaries with increasing skill, alongside Special Forces warrior Rita Vrataski (Emily Blunt). And, as Cage and Rita take the fight to the aliens, each repeated encounter gets them one step closer to defeating the enemy.’

The Doug Liman directed movie is out June 6th, 2014. There’s also a selection of new images which you can see below. [Read more…]

December 11, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

robert-knepperWhen he was young, Robert Knepper was allowed to played good guys, however in recent years – particularly since his villainous role in Prison Break – he’s only been allowed to be a baddie. That’s not changing here.

The official Hunger Games Twitter has revealed that he’s signed up to appear in two-part The Hunger Games: Mockingjay, where he’ll be playing Antonius, who’s a minister to Donald Sutherland’s evil President Snow.

As the war that will determine the fate of Panem escalates, Katniss must decipher for herself who she can trust and what needs to be done, with everything she cares for in the balance.

Robert Pattinson, Juliette Binoche & Tim Roth Up For Brady Corbet’s Childhood of a Leader

December 11, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

robert-pattinson-diorBrady Corbet is best known for appearing in the likes of Mysterious Skin, Melancholia, Funny Games and Martha Marcy May Marlene. For a 25-year-old he’s had a lot of indie movie experience and he’s going to be putting that into practice as he’s now turning feature director with The Childhood of a Leader.

He’s lined up a great cast for the movie, as Variety reports that Juliette Binoche and Tim Roth will topline the film, with Robert Pattinson also set to star.

Corbet also co-wrote the script with Mona Fastvold. Unfortunately though there’s not much info on the plot, other than that it ‘focuses on the childhood of a post-World War I leader’. The movie is tentatively set to shoot next May in Europe.

Samuel L. Jackson in Talks To Join Alexander Skarsgard In Tarzan

December 11, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

samuel-l-jacksonAlexander Skarsgard and Christoph Waltz may have some company in Warner Bros.’ live action take on Tarzan, as Variety reports that Samuel L. Jackson is in talks for a role in the movie.

Harry Potter helmers David Yates is set to direct the movie. There’s no official details on the plot or the exact direction the movie will take the famed character, although we do know Skarsgard will be Tarzan, with Waltz playing the main villain.

It’s not 100% clear who Jackson will play, although it is known that an earlier incarnation of the character was called Williams and was described as “A Civil War veteran eager to redeem himself for his part in the massacre of Native Americans”. Jackson was flirting with the part some time ago, but backed out at the time due to scheduling issues. That allowed Jamie Foxx to step in. However the whole project was delayed for a rewrite and rejig, which has allowed Jackson to come back onboard.

Jason Clarke In Talks To Play John Connor In Terminator 5

December 11, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Jason-ClarkeA couple of days ago it was revealed that the planned new instalment of the Terminator franchise is currently going by the title Terminator: Genesis. Now it’s moving forward again, as Deadline reports that Jason Clarke is in early talks to play as John Connor in the movie.

Arnold Schwarzenegger is still attached to star. It was also recently reported that that Game of Thrones star Emilia Clarke and Brie Larson are the front runners to play Sarah Connor.

The ages of the actresses suggest the movie is going to involve some interesting time travel going on, as Clarke is 44, but will be playing the son of an actress in her mid-20s. Genesis also hints that this film will at least partially take place before the other movies. Of course Arnold Schwarzenegger is significantly older than he was in 1984, so it’ll be interesting to see if he’ll be playing another robotic clone, or if they’re going to deal with his aging.

The movie is also seeking an actor to play Kyle Reese, the father of John Connor who was played by Michael Biehn in The Terminator. Alan Taylor (Thor: The Dark World) is directing from a screenplay by Laeta Kalogridis and Patrick Lussier. A July 1st, 2015 release date has already been set.

December 11, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Dawn-Of-The-Apes-poster4
Every year the release of the big Christmas movies also marks when studios start releasing trailers and posters for the films they hope will be tearing up the box office this summer. In the last week we’ve had promos for the likes of Amazing Spider-man 2 and Godzilla, and now Fox is promising that next Tuesday we’ll get our first proper look at Dawn Of The Planet Of The Apes.

Ahead of that a quartet of posters have been released, which you can see above and below.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘A growing nation of genetically evolved apes led by Caesar is threatened by a band of human survivors of the devastating virus unleashed a decade earlier. They reach a fragile peace, but it proves short-lived, as both sides are brought to the brink of a war that will determine who will emerge as Earth’s dominant species.’

It’ll be in cinemas next July.

The Impossible’s Juan Antonio Bayona To Helm World War Z Sequel

December 11, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Juan-Antonio-BayonaAfter the production problems World War Z faced – involving ballooning budgets and expensive reshoots – even Paramount was surprised when it became a $500 million grossing hit. The success ensured they wanted a sequel, but it was also clear from early on they didn’t want director Marc Forster – who many have blamed for the first film’s problems (and who reportedly had an extremely fractious relationship with Brad Pitt).

Now they’ve found the man they want to replace Forster for World War Z 2, as Spanish filmmaker Juan Antonio Bayona has signed on to direct World War Z 2, according to THR. Bayona s best known The Orphanage and last year’s The Impossible

Brad Pitt is set to reprise his role as U.N. employee Gerry Lane, although there’s no news on the exact plot, although it’s safe to assume it will continue to look at the aftermath of a zombie apocalypse. No writers are attached to the sequel yet, although it’s reported that Juan Antonio Bayona will oversee the writing process. The director was on a very short list of contenders just a few weeks back before landing the job.

Leather (US DVD)

December 10, 2013 By Tim Isaac 3 Comments

Starring: Chris Graham, Andrew Glaszek, Jeremy Neal, Glenda Lauten
Director: Patrick McGuinn
Running Time: 96 mins
Certificate: NR
Release Date: December 3rd 2013

After the death of his father, Andrew (Andrew Glaszek) returns from the city to the Catskill Mountains where he grew up, taking his rather fey boyfriend, Kyle (Jeremy Neal), along with him. They head to Andrew’s father’s house/cabin, only to find that rough-hewn mountain man/hunk Birch (Chris Graham) is living there.

Birch was a childhood friend of Andrew’s, however they haven’t spoken for many years, partly due to the fact Andrew’s father, Walter, was difficult and had trouble accepting his gay son, which led Andrew to leave the mountains behind completely. Birch and Walter grew close though, which Andrew has a difficult time dealing with, feeling that Birch essentially became the son Walter wanted, as he could never accept the one he had. [Read more…]

Undressing Israel: Gay Men In The Promised Land (US DVD)

December 10, 2013 By Tim Isaac 1 Comment

Starring: Michael Lucas, Etyan Fox, Andrey Nozdrin, Alon Levi
Director: Michael Lucas, Yariv Mozer
Running Time: 46 mins
Certificate: NR
Release Date: December 3rd 2013

Michael Lucas is best known for his eponymous gay porn label, but in the last few years he’s also become known as an ardent supporter of Israel, even if his pit-bull Israel-has-never-done-anything-wrong-ever style has put off as many people as it’s attracted. Now Lucas has directed (alongside Yariv Mozer) Undressing Israel, which takes a 46 minute look at being gay in the Holy Land. [Read more…]

Legends of Oz: Dorothy’s Return – Lea Michele gets animated in the Emerald City

December 10, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment


It’s taken a long time to get Legends of Oz: Dorothy’s Return to the screen. It was announced before Oz The Great And Powerful was in the works, but it’s only now we get a trailer, ahead of its release next May.

The movie is a sequel to L. Frank Baum’s Wizard Of Oz, showing what happens when Dorothy returns to the magical land.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘In LEGENDS OF OZ: DORTOHY’S RETURN, Dorothy returns to Kansas to find it devastated by the tornado that had whisked her away to Oz. The home she has been so desperate to return to is severely damaged, and the townspeople are packing up and moving out. But shortly after arriving in Kansas, Dorothy is magically transported back to Oz.

‘She finds out that Oz is in trouble, and the people there need her help. Dorothy’s old friends – the Scarecrow, Tin Man and the formerly Cowardly Lion – have disappeared and Oz is in a state of decay. As Dorothy journeys to find her friends, she encounters a number of new companions and problems including a man made of marshmallows who can’t think for himself; a china doll princess whose bossiness is a cover for her fragility; and a tugboat with as many personalities as he has pieces. Dorothy must help this odd group band together against a new villain – a wicked Jester who thinks all of Oz should be under his control.’

Lea Michele, Dan Aykroyd, Kelsey Grammer, Jim Belushi, Martin Short, Roger S. Baum. Megan Hilty, Hugh Dancy, Oliver Platt, Patrick Stewart, and Bernadette Peters lend their voices. [Read more…]

Kidnapped For Christ Documentary Seeks Funding Ahead Of Slamdance Premiere

December 10, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment


It’s been announced that the documentary Kidnapped For Christ has been selected to premiere at the Slamdance Film Festival in January, but ahead of that it’s seeking some final completion funding via Kickstarter. The money will be used to complete the sound, music and HD transfers for what sounds like it could be a fascinating and chilling topic that touches on LGBTQ topics.

You can take a look above for a message about the film and campaign from two of the movie’s executive producers, Lance Bass  of ‘NSYNC fame and Mike C. Manning  (Disney’s Cloud 9 and The Real World).

The controversial film follows the stories of several American teenagers who were forcibly taken from their homes and sent to an Evangelical Christian reform school known as Escuela Caribe, located in the Dominican Republic. The school is advertised as a “therapeutic Christian boarding school” when in reality, Escuela Caribe used classic brainwashing techniques to break down and rebuild young minds.

The main protagonist (David) is a teen from Colorado who was sent to the school because of his sexuality. Shot largely inside the school, the film features David’s plight as he is forced to conform. The film also features Tai, a 16-year-old Haitian-American girl who was sent away after acting out as a result of childhood traumas, and Beth, a 15-year old who suffers from a debilitating anxiety disorder.

It sounds like a fascinating and chilling film, so if you’d like to help out, head over to Kickstarter. [Read more…]

Ian McKellen Advised Not To Go To Russia Due To Anti-Gay Laws

December 10, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

ian-mckellenIt’s become difficult for pro-gay celebrities in relation to Russia recently due the new laws banning the ‘promotion of non-traditional sexual relationship to minors’. Although Putin insists it’s not an issue and will supposedly protect youths, other more zealous lawmakers are already trying to use the laws to try and silence both gay celebs and allies, whether they’re talking to minors or not.

Now Ian McKellen has been talking about how it’s affected him, telling the Radio Times, “Imagine trying to be a gay actor, a gay anything in modern Russia?. Where to be positively oneself, to be affectionate in public with someone you love of the same gender, or to talk of that love in the hearing of anyone under 18, will put you in prison? That’s why I can’t go to Russia.”

He added he had been told by the Foreign Office that “they couldn’t protect me from those laws,” and so as a well-known gay advocate his safety could not be guaranteed there.

McKellen adds that he cannot believe this is the situation “in the land of Tchaikovsky, Diaghilev, Rudolf Nureyev — gay artists whose sexuality informed their work.”

The UK Foreign Office has recently changed its advice to travellers to Russia, warning them of “a degree of intolerance” of homosexuality, and that people should bear that in mind if they decide to go there.
