Has Edgar Wright Tweeted The First Ant-Man Set Photo?

October 2, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

ant-man-possible
‘Now I’m back in LA, it’s high time to finish a little something I’ve been working on…’

That’s the Tweet and image Edgar Wright recently sent, and in his often enigmatic way, he’s now left the blogosphere to go mental about what he means.

The immediate assumption has been that this is from the set of Ant-Man, although with no cast announced and a release date that’s almost two years away, it seems a little early for this to be from the actual shoot. However Wright could well in LA to start working full-time on pre-production, and this could be either from test footage or possibly some sort of teaser that’ll be attached to one of the Marvel movies that comes before Ant-man.

At the moment it’s all speculation, and it could turn out it something else Wright has been working on!

Edgar Wright is directing Ant-Man from a screenplay he co-wrote with Joe Cornish (Attack the Block). No story details have been confirmed, but the director revealed in February that this will take a different approach to Dr. Hank Pym’s origin than was in the comics – although it will still presumably follow the doctor gaining the ability to shrink to minuscule size. It’s due out July 31st, 2015.

Chris Pine Gets Out His Weapon In The First Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit Poster

October 2, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

jack-ryan-shadow-recruit-poster
Normally when a major franchise is being rebooted, the studios try to remind us about every five minutes for about a year before it’s actually released. However Paramount has been a little quieter about Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit. Indeed it only got the Shadow Recruit part of its title recently (in fact as of writing, IMDB still lists it as Jack Ryan: Shadow One).

However now the hype if building and the first poster comes coincidently on the same day that Jack Ryan’s creator, Tom Clancy, died at the age of 66. We’ve also been promised a full trailer tomorrow.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘In a story taking place prior to the original Jack Ryan stories, Ryan is a young stock broker working for a billionaire in Moscow before joining the CIA. When the billionaire he is advising frames him for a terrorist plot and kidnaps his wife, Ryan must race against time to clear his name, stop the plot, and save his wife.’

Chris Pine, Kenneth Branagh, Kevin Costner, Keira Knightley and Colm Feore star, with Branagh also directing. The film is out at Christmas.

Simon Kinberg To Rewrite Josh Trank’s Fantastic Four Reboot

Fox’s reboot of Fantastic Four is slowly moving forward with the news that Simon Kinberg has been hired to rewrite the script, according to Variety. He joins a growing list, as Jeremy Slater, Michael Green, Seth Grahame-Smith and T.S. Nowlin have all worked on previous drafts.

However with reports that it’s pretty close to shooting, it’s likely Kinberg is only doing a polish, perhaps bringing it in line with Fox’s other superhero movies. He’s certainly well placed for that, having worked on X-Men: The Last Stand and X-Men: Days of Future Past.

Josh Trank will be directing the Fantastic Four remake, which is bringing the Marvel comics family a complete overhaul from the Fantastic Four and Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer from a few years ago. Created in 1961 by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby, the group includes the scientist Mr. Fantastic, his wife the Invisible Girl, her brother the Human Torch and the Thing.

Spanish Actor Keeps Promise To Post Nude Photo After Getting One Million Twitter Followers

October 1, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

A lot of people make promises about what they will do if they reach certain follower milestones on social media sites. Popular (and attractive) Spanish actor Paco Leon took it further than most, promising to post a full frontal nude pic if he reached one million Twitter followers.

Well he’s passed that number and rather than backing out or posting a coy picture that didn’t really fulfil what he said he’d do, Leon has gone the whole hog and posted the image below (click here for the NSFW version). And may we see he’s looking pretty good with nothing on!

38-year-old Leon has appeared in numerous TV shows and films, including the gay-themed Queens. He is best known as a comedy actor. Now he’s got a lot more fans, many of whom will never have seen a single thing he’s appeared in. [Read more…]

Sal Trailer – First Look At James Franco’s biopic of gay actor Sal Mineo

October 1, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment


James Franco is back doing gay things. Actually, he did this gay thing quite a while ago, but Sal has taken a couple of years to get from principal photography to the point of release. However now the movie is coming, and the first trailer has arrived.

Franco’s film is a biopic of actor Sal Mineo, famed for his roles in the likes of Rebel Without A Cause, Giant and The Longest Day. While he did have some relationships with women, in the late 60s he became one of the first Hollywood actors to ever acknowledge he was gay. Tragically in 1976, while he was living in San Francisco playing a bisexual burglar in the stage comedy, P.S. Your Cat Is Dead, he was murdered in what is believed to be a robbery gone wrong (reports Mineo was trying to solicit his killer for sex are unfounded).

The film concentrates on his final day, when he wasn’t quite a famous as he once was, but has become comfortable with his sexuality and his abilities as an actor. Val Lauren plays Mineo, with Franco taking a supporting role as Milton Kaselas, the director of the play Sal was starring in before he died.

Sal will be available on iTunes and VOD in the US starting October 22nd, with a limited theatrical release from November 1st, beginning in Los Angeles.

You can also take a look at a new poster below. [Read more…]

Michelle Rodriguez Casually Confirms She’s Bisexual

October 1, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

michelle-rodriguezOver the past few years a lot of rumours have swirled around Michelle Rodriguez, with many convinced she was LGBT but hiding that fact. Indeed, some people got pretty angry about it. While it’s taken her a while, the Lost and Fast & Furious 6 actress has revealed that she is ‘B’, aka bisexual.

She tells EW about assumptions she’s a lesbian, “Eh, they’re not too far off,” she said. “I’ve gone both ways. I do as I please. I am too f–king curious to sit here and not try when I can. Men are intriguing. So are chicks.”

Rodriguez has previously been ambivalent about people’s interest in her sexuality, which she has often referred to as people’s obsession with what she does with her vagina. Many would say sexuality is a lot more than just what people do with their genitals, but that’s how Michelle has sometimes put it.

For example, she also told EW, “I don’t talk about what I do with my vagina, and they’re all intrigued. I’ve never walked the carpet with anyone, so they wonder: What does she do with her vagina? Plus, I play a butchy girl all the time, so they assume I’m a lesbo.”

Back in 2006, she was linked to her BloodRayne co-star, Kristianna Loken (who is out as a lesbian), and has also spoken about not wanting to be put in a box. However on a red carpet in 2011 she stated, “I’m not a lesbian….yeah. Michi likes sausage.”

It’s similar to Wentworth Miller, who denied, demurred, hinted and tried absolutely silence before finally coming out in August.

Struck By Lightning (DVD)

October 1, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Starring: Chris Colfer, Allison Janney, Rebel Wilson, Christina Hendricks, Dermot Mulroney
Director: Brian Dannelly
Running Time: 86 mins
Certificate: 12
Release Date: September 30th 2013

Chris Colfer made his name as Kurt on Glee. While that keeps him pretty busy, he’s found time to write some children’s books and also the screenplay for Struck By Lightning. The fact he’s still only 23 is quite sickening.

He also takes the lead role here as Carson Phillips, who in the first few seconds of the movie is hit by lightning and killed. The film then flashes back to see how he got to that point. Carson is a senior in high school with dreams of becoming a journalist. He knows where he wants to work and what university he intends to go to – and he’s determined to get there. [Read more…]

October 1, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment


As we were promised, a new trailer for The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug has arrived and it certainly looks pretty, showing of the visuals and action, as well as the return of old friends like Legolas and new character played by actors such as Evangeline Lily, Lee Pace and Luke Evans – the last two of which you can see in new banners above.

There’s also a few giant spider to look out for. But once again the dragon Smaug is only glimpsed in bits and pieces.

Here’s the official synopsis: ‘The second in a trilogy of films adapting the enduringly popular masterpiece “The Hobbit”, by J.R.R. Tolkien, “The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug” continues the adventures of the title character Bilbo Baggins (Martin Freeman) as he journeys with the Wizard Gandalf (Ian McKellen) and thirteen Dwarves, led by Thorin Oakenshield (Richard Armitage) on an epic quest to reclaim the lost Dwarf Kingdom of Erebor.

Shia LaBeouf Is Looking Intense (& Pretty Hot) In A New Charlie Countryman Poster

October 1, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

charlie-countryman-poster1
Shia LaBeouf is one of those people who seems to divide opinion over whether he talented and good-looking or ugly and a douche. However he’s looking pretty good in this poster, where he’s tipped sideways and looking very intense.

Here’s the brief synopsis for the film, which was once titled The Necessary Death of Charlie Countryman: ‘Traveling abroad, Charlie Countryman falls for Gabi, a Romanian beauty whose unreachable heart has its origins in Nigel, her violent, charismatic ex. As the darkness of Gabi’s past increasingly envelops him, Charlie resolves to win her heart, or die trying.’

Mads Mikkelsen, Rupert Grint, Melissa Leo and Til Schweiger also star, with Fredrik Bond making his feature directorial debut with the movie. It’s out in the US in November.

Disney Plans Live-Action Cruella de Vil Film

October 1, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

cruella-de-vilAfter the success of Alice In Wonderland, Disney has been making other live action movies based on characters that have appeared in its animated film, with the upcoming Maleficent and Cinderella. Now THR reports they’re planning a movie based around 101 Dalmatians villainess Cruella De Vil.

Glenn Close played the role in two live action films, but they were still based around the doggies, while this one will focus on the fur-loving mast herself.

Disney has hired Aline Brosh McKenna, who wrote Cinderella and contributed to Maleficent, to pen the script, which is currently going by the title, Cruella. There’s no plot details, but it’s likely to focus on De Vil’s backstory.

The Chronicles of Narnia: The Silver Chair Movie Being Planned

October 1, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

narnia-dawn-treader-preview-poster1When it was announced they were making The Lion, The Witch & the Wardrobe, Walden Media said they wanted to shoot adaptations of all the Narnia books. However after disappointing box office for Prince Caspia, Disney dropped out as Walden’s partner.

For a while it seemed the dream had died, but then Fox stepped up to make Voyage Of The Dawn Treader. After that didn’t hit it particularly big it really seemed like it was the end for Narnia at the movie. However now it appear that Walden is no longer involved, but The Mark Gordon Company has signed up to develop a movie based on The Silver Chair, alongside The C.S. Lewis Company.

Douglas Gresham, stepson of C.S. Lewis stated, “I have a great deal of respect for Mark Gordon’s work and am confident that together we can bring the beauty and magical delight that Narnia engenders in the hearts of those who read the books to the screen in ‘The Silver Chair.’ I am very much looking forward to diving once more into Narnia, this time with Mark Gordon and his team.”

However it’s a long way from actually making it to the screen, as at the moment there’s no studio partner and it’s not clear where the financing would come from – or indeed if any of the earlier cast will be back.
