Jeremy Irvine & Addison Timlin Join The Supernatural Fantasy Fallen

August 17, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Jeremy Irvine in Now Is Good

Jeremy Irvine in Now Is Good

Way back in September 2010 Liam Hemsworth was circling Fallen, but he moved on due to the fact the film was stuck in development (and was also passed around Hollywood, as it was originally being developed by Disney). However now it’s moving forward again with Deadline reporting that Jeremy Irvine (War Horse) and Addison Timlin (Stand Up Guys) have joined the cast.

The film is based on Lauren Kate’s young adult supernatural fantasy novel about an alienated teen girl, Luce Price (Timlin), who is drawn to the mysterious and aloof Daniel Grigori (Irvine) from the moment she sees him on her first day at the Sword & Cross boarding school in Savannah, Georgia. He’s the one bright spot in a place where cell phones are forbidden, the other students are all screw-ups, and security cameras watch their every move.

Even though Daniel wants nothing to do with Luce, she can’t let go and has to find out what Daniel is so desperate to keep secret. As secrets unfurl, it becomes clear Daniel may not be what he appears, and there could be a reason he seems so familiar.

Scott Hicks (The Lucky One) is directing from a screenplay co-written by author Lauren Kate, Nichole Millard and Kathryn Price. It isn’t clear when it will shoot.

Bradley Cooper May Play Lance Armstrong In Red Blooded American

August 17, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

bradley-cooper
Shortly after it was revealed in March that Paramount and J.J. Abrams were planning a biopic of Lance Armstrong, rumours suggested the want Bradley Cooper to star, which he denied. Now it seems he may play the disgraced cyclist after all, although in a different movie, as Deadline reports that he’s signed up to produce and probably star in Red Blooded American for Warner and director Jay Roach.

Roach has been attached since March, working from a screenplay by Scott Z. Burns (World War Z). Bradley Cooper will play one of the two main roles, either Lance Armstrong or Tyler Hamilton, the latter being Lance’s cycling teammate who was the one who first revealed that the seven-time Tour de France winner was using performance-enhancing drugs. After years of speculation and allegations, Armstrong finally came clean and admitted he was doping in a January interview with Oprah Winfrey.

The project is being put on the fast track as it’s jockeying against both Abrams’ Cycle of Lies, and a recently announced film from director Stephen Frears, which has Ben Foster attached to star. There’s no news on when Red Blooded American will shoot.

Seth MacFarlane Suggests Ted 2 Is Coming Spring 2015

August 17, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Ted-Movie-Poster-SXSWAfter the massive success of Ted, Universal was quick to sign Seth MacFarlane to make a sequel. However with his TV shows to run and a new live action film, A Million Ways To Die In The West, in post-production, it hasn’t been clear when he’d return to talking teddy bears.

Now MacFarlane has revealed on his Twitter page this week that he is aiming to release the comedy sequel Ted 2 in the spring of 2015. He said, ‘RT @JohnnyMctardo: @SethMacFarlane when is Ted 2? // We’re aiming for a 2015 Passover release date.’

Passover begins on Friday, April 3 in the 2015, which is also Easter weekend. It also means it’ll arrive ahead of what’s lining up to be a ridiculously massive and competitive summer movie seasons, with films such as Star Wars: Episode VII, Man of Steel 2 (with Batman), Jurassic Park IV and The Avengers: Age of Ultron slated for release that year.

Seth MacFarlane is expected to return as writer-director and the voice of Ted, along with Mark Wahlberg as John Bennett. Seth MacFarlane co-wrote the original Ted screenplay with Alec Sulkin and Wellesley Wild, who are also expected to return the sequel.

Oblivion Helmer Joseph Kosinski Takes On The Twilight Zone

August 17, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

joseph-kosinskiFor some time there’s been talk of a new film based on The Twilight Zone, but it seems like they’ve had difficulty figuring out how it would work, as while it’s a famous name, Rod Serling TV show’s anthology structure means there’s no real template to follow.

However now the idea is picking up steam, with THR reporting that Joseph Kosinski (Tron: Legacy, Oblivion) is in talks to direct The Twilight Zone for Warner Bros. Matt Reeves had been attached to helm back in 2011, but but he is no longer involved.

Anthony Peckham wrote the original draft of the script, but the project is now being redeveloped for Kosinski. It’s thought Peckham’s script told a single tale, rather than following the multi-story approach of the TV show and 1980s-era movie. It’s unclear if this will change now Kosinski is onboard.

Leonardo DiCaprio and Jennifer Davisson Killoran are producing through their Appian Way production company, alongside Michael Ireland. It’s no clear when it might shoot.

Win An I’m So Excited Poster Signed By Pedro Almodovar, Plus A DVD!

August 15, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

im-so-excited-dvd-coverPedro Almodóvar (All About My Mother, The Skin I Live In) is back with his campest film ever, I’m So Excited, which reaches DVD and Blu-ray in the UK on August 26th. We’ve teamed up with Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment for a great competition, as we’ve got a copy of the film on DVD, plus a fantastic poster signed by Almodóvar himself!

When a moment’s negligence endangers a flight en route to Mexico City, three wildly flamboyant flight attendants (Carlos Areces, Raúl Arévalo and Javier Cámara) endeavour to keep the passengers happy and in the dark until they can find a solution. The economy class has been put to sleep for their own comfort, but the business class, which includes a shady Spanish banker, a clairvoyant virgin, an actor and a mysterious security agent, proves more difficult to subdue. When the news of impending danger finally spills, it produces a somewhat unexpected reaction. Rather than panic, a frenzied torrent of over-the-top and uproariously funny debauchery ensues. Liberated by the prospect of death, the passengers dispose of all their inhibitions and dive headfirst into a hedonistic haze.

Showcasing the celebrated Spanish auteur at his camp best, I’m So Excited also features charming cameos by Antonio Banderas and Penelope Cruz as a klutzy husband and wife duo.  Almodóvar’s comedy is rife with symbolism and metaphor aligned with present-day Spain, but the film is entertainment at its best, first and foremost.

If you’d like to try and win the copy of I’m So Excited on DVD and a poster signed by Pedro Almodóvar that we’ve got to give away, answer the question below and fill in your details, then press submit! The competition closes on August 29th 2013, so get answering and good luck! [Read more…]

Vampire Academy Teaser Trailer – Bringing together the makers of Mean Girls & Heathers

August 15, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment


With the end of Twilight, are young adults still interested in bloodsuckers? Vampire Academy is hoping so. Now the first trailer has arrived, which suggest that despite the dreadful name it might not be too bad.

Indeed you’d hope for something decent from Mean Girls helmer Mark Waters and Heathers writer Daniel Waters, who’ve adapted Richelle Mead‘s popular series of books for the big screen.

The film tells the tale of Rose Hathaway, a 17-year-old girl who has a mental and spiritual bond with her vampire best friend Lissa. The two girls attend a special school for Vampires who struggle to retain some humanity while other Vampires become more feral. Zoey Deutch (Beautiful Creatures) and the Australian Lucy Fry playing Rose and Lissa, with Russian star Danila Kozlovski as Dimitri.

The film’s due out early next year. [Read more…]

New Don Jon Trailer – Fresh look at Joseph Gordon-Levitt’s directorial debut

August 15, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment


There’s been a lot of interest in Don Jon, largely because it’s the first film Joseph Gordon Levitt has directed. He also stars in the movie, alongside Scarlett Johnasson, Julianne Moore and Tony Danza. Now we can get a fresh look with a brand new trailer.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Jon Martello (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) is a strong, handsome, good old-fashioned guy. His buddies call him Don Jon due to his ability to “pull” a different woman every weekend, but even the finest fling doesn’t compare to the bliss he finds alone in front of the computer watching pornography. Barbara Sugarman (Scarlett Johansson) is a bright, beautiful, good old-fashioned girl. Raised on romantic Hollywood movies, she’s determined to find her Prince Charming and ride off into the sunset. Wrestling with good old-fashioned expectations of the opposite sex, Jon and Barbara struggle against a media culture full of false fantasies to try and find true intimacy in this unexpected comedy written and directed by Joseph Gordon-Levitt.’

It’s due out later this year. [Read more…]

Kristen Wiig May Have A Nasty Baby In A Gay-Themed Indie Drama

August 15, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

kristen-wiigIf Hollywood had its way, Kristen Wiig would just make Bridesmaids clones and sequels, but she’s not interested in that – indeed she turned down a huge deal to write and star in the follow-up to her breakout movie hit. Now she’s hoping show off he dramatic skills, as TheWrap reports that she’s circling the gay-themed indie drama Nasty Baby.

It won’t be her first drama, as a few years ago she took a small role in All Good Things, but this one would put her front and centre. Writer/director Sebastian Silva and TV on the Radio frontman Tunde Adebimpe are set to play Freddy and Mo, ‘a gay couple who are trying to have a baby with the help of their best friend Anna, who would be played by Wiig if a deal closes…’

‘Freddy is an artist whose latest work is all about babies. Anna is a family practitioner who is more interested in having a baby than having a man. Mo is hesitant about the entire idea, especially when Anna isnʼt having success with Freddyʼs sperm and the donor responsibility shifts to him.’

Nothing has been signed, as although Wiig wants to do the movie, they’re still to sort out details (not least her schedule). Alia Shawkat, Mark Margolis and Denis O’Hare are all being eyed for supporting roles.

Jeremy Piven Joins Tom Cruise In Edge of Tomorrow

August 15, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

jeremy-pivenJust before Comic Con, Tom Cruise’ upcoming sci-fi changed from being All You Need Is Kill to Edge Of Tomorrow. Now it’s edged further to the bid screen with the news, via Deadline, that Jeremy Piven has joined the cast.

It’s a bit of a surprise he’s been added so late as the film has been shooting for a while in the UK. However as Jeremy was already in Britain shooting a new series of Mr. Selfridge, they’ve managed to slot him in. He will apparently play a character called Col. Walter Marx.

Here’s the official 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.

‘Lt. Col. Bill Cage (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 (Blunt). And, as Cage and Rita take the fight to the aliens, each repeated encounter gets them one step closer to defeating the enemy.’

It’s due out June 2014.

escape-plan-poster3
Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sylvester Stallone spent a bit of time together in The Expendables movies, but now they’re properly teaming up for Escape Plan. It may be 20 years after most people would have really wanted the action legends to make a movie together, but it’s coming nevertheless!

Now two new posters have arrived, which you can see above and below.

Directed by Mikael Hafstrom, Escape Plan is about Ray Breslin (Sylvester Stallone), a security expert who is framed for a crime and sent to the ultra maximum security prison that he designed.
