Sylvester Stallone Plans Rocky Spin-Off, Based Around Apollo Creed’s Grandson

July 25, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Rocky-Apollo-CreedAfter 2006’s Rocky Balboa, you might have thought we’d seen the last of the franchise that shot Sylvester Stallone to superstardom in 1976. However, now a spin-off is planned, with Stallone teaming up with Fruitvale Station direction Ryan Coogler for Creed, according to Deadline.

Michael B. Jordan is in early talks to play the grandson of Apollo Creed, famously portrayed by Carl Weathers in the first four Rocky movies, and still probably Rocky’s greatest opponent. Stallone is also set to play Balboa once more, taking on the role for the seventh time.

The movie will be about Creed’s grandson, who was raised in the lap of luxury but still possesses a natural instinct for boxing. However, his family do not want him to pursue a career in the ring. Despite that Rocky Balboa, who is now out of the game and has no desire to return to boxing, agrees to step in and mentor the young man.

Ryan Coogler has said that this is a dream project for him and when his agent put him in touch with Stallone, the actor thankfully agreed. Coogler is currently co-writing the screenplay with Aaron Covington, and if everything works out, the film will reunite him with his Fruitvale Station star, Michael B. Jordan. There’s no news on when it might shoot.

Abigail Breslin Joins Arnie In The Zombie Flick Maggie

July 25, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Abigail-BreslinRemember the cute little girl from Signs and Little Miss Sunshine? Well, now Abigail Breslin is 17-years-old and having had a few run-ins with the undead in Zombieland, she’s now returning to zombie territory for Maggie.

She’s in talks to play the title role, according to THR, which will see her starring opposite Arnold Schwarzenegger. Chloe Moretz was originally set to play Maggie, but she’s been forced to drop out due to scheduling conflicts.

In the movie, a zombie epidemic has spread across the country. The main plot follows a father (Schwarzenegger) whose daughter Maggie (Breslin) has become infected, as he tries to get her to come to terms with the plague and her fate, before she becomes one of the walking dead.

Commercials director Henry Hobson is set to make his feature directorial debut with Maggie, which is based on a script by John Scott 3. Filming will start later this year.

Billy Magnussen Set To Replace Jake Gyllenhaal In Into the Woods

July 24, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

billy-magnussen
A few days ago it was revealed that Jake Gyllenhaal has dropped out of playing one of the pompous princes in Rob Marshall’s movie version of Stephen Sondheim’s musical, Into The Woods (due to scheduling clashes with the film Nightcrawler). While it might have seemed like bad news we wouldn’t be seeing Jake singing and dancing, from the evidence of the image above, Billy Magnussen will be a good replacement.

Deadline reports that the Broadwalk Empire and Broadway star is now in talks to over Gyllenhaal’s role in the movie. If he does sign on he will be Rapunzel’s prince, who gets a big musical number opposite Chris Pine as Cinderella’s Prince Charming.

The movie is about a baker (James Corden) and his wife (Emily Blunt) who head into the woods to confront an evil witch (Meryl Streep), whose curse prevents the couple from ever having children.

Along their way they encounter various fairytale characters such as Anna Kendrick’s Cinderella and the Big Bad Wolf (Johnny Depp). Tracey Ullman is set to be the mother of Jack the Giant Killer, while Christine Baranski is Cinderella’s mean stepmother. Anna Kendrick recently signed on to play Cinderella.

Rob Marshall is directing from a screenplay by James Lapine. Shooting is scheduled to begin this autumn.

Andrew Garfield Elaborates On Why He Thinks Spider-man Stands For Equality

July 24, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Andrew Garfield in The Amazing Spider-manA couple of weeks ago, Andrew Garfield made waves when he joked that he thought it could turn out Spider-man is gay, and that MJ turns out to be a guy, preferably played by Michael B. Jordan.

Now he’s been talking more about his ideas about the character and why he thinks Spider-man is all about equality.

He told Vulture, “My beliefs about living and about life and about the world and humankind have nothing to do with Spider-Man, but what I do believe is that Spider-Man stands for equality. Spider-Man will protect whoever needs protecting: gay, straight, black, lesbian, bisexual, transgender. He’s not gonna go help the middle-class white dude before he helps the homosexual black dude! He is an Everyman, and he is covered head to toe in costume, which is different than any other superhero I’m aware of, and I think that’s why he’s so universally relatable. And he is color-blind and he is blind to any sexual orientation, so it was more just a philosophical question of “Why not?” And I stick to it. I long for the time when we don’t see skin color, where sexual orientation is treated as a small thread in the fabric of a person as opposed to defining them.”

So after five previous outings as Logan (we’re counting his brief appearance in X-Men: First Class), where can his new ‘vision’ take us? Well, based on an old and much Marvel comic book story arc, this time around Wolverine is enticed to visit Japan by Yukio and summoned to the deathbed of an old ‘friend’, Yashida, who states he can offer Wolverine mortality. Things being to take a dangerous turn when an attempt is made to kidnap Yashida’s daughter, Mariko. [Read more…]

Snowpiercer Animated Prequel – Introducing us to the world of the much-anticipated sci-fi flick

July 24, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment


The first preview screenings of Snowpiercer took place during the last week, and the response was so ecstatic it’s pushed the film to the top of many people’s must-see list. Now an animated prequel to the movie has emerged, introducing us to the world of the movie and showing us how the Earth became the dystopian place the film explores.

Snowpiercer is set on a ravaged Earth where the few human survivors are a train (which gives the film its name) that travels around the globe. However a revolution is brewing amongst the passengers inside. The film has a great cast, following Curtis (Chris Evans), Mason (Tilda Swinton), Gilliam (John Hurt), Wilford (Ed Harris), Namgoong Minsu (Kang-ho Song), Edgar (Jamie Bell), Tanya (Octavia Spencer), Andrew (Ewen Bremner) and Yona (Ah-sung Ko) as they ride the train.

No release date is currently set, but it should be out later this year. [Read more…]

Amazing Single-Shot Gravity Trailer & Clip Has Sandra Bullock Catapulted Into Space

July 24, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment


Alfonso Cuaron impressed many with the impressive tracking shots in Children Of Men. With Gravity he’s promised to take that even further. Indeed he expressed a little frustration with the first trailer for the movie, which had quick cuts he felt didn’t really represent the movie.

Now a new trailer and clip have emerged that really show us the amazing single-shot philosophy. The trailer shows the moment when astronauts Sandra Bullock and George Clooney’s spacewalk goes terribly wrong. Their shuttle is hit by debris from a satellite the Russians have been trying to decommission, which sends Bullock flying off into space – and it’s all done with no cuts whatsoever.

The clip meanwhile is from after that moment, when Bullock is drifting through space, completely untethered and apparently with no way home. It certainly suggest this is going to be one to watch when it’s released this October.

July 24, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment


47 Ronin is one of those movies where delays in its release have caused some to wonder if there have been problems with commercials director Carl Rinsch debut movie. However it’s now set for a prime Christmas release, suggesting Universal has some faith in it.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Keanu Reeves makes an explosive return to action-adventure in 47 Ronin. After a treacherous warlord kills their master and banishes their kind, 47 leaderless samurai vow to seek vengeance and restore honor to their people. Driven from their homes and dispersed across the land, this band of Ronin must seek the help of Kai (Reeves)—a half-breed they once rejected—as they fight their way across a savage world of mythic beasts, shape-shifting witchcraft and wondrous terrors. As this exiled, enslaved outcast becomes their most deadly weapon, he will transform into the hero who inspires this band of outnumbered rebels to seize eternity.’

Now the first full trailer and a quartet of character posters for the movie have arrived, so take a look at those above and below.

New Posters For Saving Mr. Banks, Rush and Mr. Peabody & Sherman

July 24, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

saving-mr-banks-poster1
Some rather cool new posters have emerged, including the very first for Disney’s Saving Mr. Banks, along with pics for DreamWorks Animation’s Mr. Peabody & Sherman and the F1 drama Rush.

Here’s the synopsis for Saving Mr Banks: ‘When Walt Disney’s daughters begged him to make a movie of their favorite book, P.L. Travers’ “Mary Poppins,” he made them a promise—one that he didn’t realize would take 20 years to keep. In his quest to obtain the rights, Walt comes up against a curmudgeonly, uncompromising writer who has absolutely no intention of letting her beloved magical nanny get mauled by the Hollywood machine. But, as the books stop selling and money grows short, Travers reluctantly agrees to go to Los Angeles to hear Disney’s plans for the adaptation.

‘For those two short weeks in 1961, Walt Disney pulls out all the stops. Armed with imaginative storyboards and chirpy songs from the talented Sherman brothers, Walt launches an all-out onslaught on P.L. Travers, but the prickly author doesn’t budge. He soon begins to watch helplessly as Travers becomes increasingly immovable and the rights begin to move further away from his grasp.

‘It is only when he reaches into his own childhood that Walt discovers the truth about the ghosts that haunt her, and together they set Mary Poppins free to ultimately make one of the most endearing films in cinematic history.’ It’s due out in December.

Rush is set in the 1970s, with Chris Hemsworth playing James Hunt with Danie Bruhl as fellow Formula 1 driver Niki Lauda. Hunt was a dashing playboy with a wild social life, whose exploits off the track filled more column inches than what he did while racing. Lauda meanwhile was a quieter figure, but still an amazing and driven racer. Their rivalry became legendary. Ron Howard directs. It’ll be out in September.

Mr. Peabody & Sherman is based on the classic 1950s animated series, about a genius canine ,Mr. Peabody, and his adopted human son Sherman, who spring into action when Sherman uses their time machine without permission and moments in history begin to be changed. It’s due out March 2014.

First Look At Andre Benjamin As Jimi Hendrix In All Is By My Side

July 24, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

All-Is-By-My-Side-pic1
For years there’s been talk about making a biopic about Jimi Hendrix, but it’s only now that it’s happening, with André Benjamin (aka André 3000) in the lead role. Now the first image from the film, called All Is By My Side, has been released, in connection with the fact it will premiere later this year at TIFF.

It’s going to be a slightly unusual musical biopic though, as the production isn’t officially backed by Hendrix’s estate and doesn’t have the rights to any of his songs. Instead the movie will mainly use tunes by other people that Hendrix covered, such as Hound Dog and Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band, to get around this.

The film will premiere at the festival this September.
