Man Of Tai Chi Trailer – Get a fresh look at Keanu Reeves ass-kicking directorial debut

June 13, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment


Keanu Reeves has turned director for The Man Of Tai Chi, and now we get a new trailer, so we can get a feel for whether being behind the camera is a good place for The Matrix actor.

Indeed Keanu had plenty of Matrix help with the fights, as he hired Yuen Woo-Ping, who was the action choreographer on the Wachowski directed movies, to put the battles together. The movie is about a young martial artist (Tiger Hu Chen) who gets lured into an underground tournament in Beijing. He’s promised the chance for greatness by the scheming Reeves, but only if he survives the no rules, no referees and no-holds barred battles.

The film will be out later this year.

Logan Lerman’s Chin Gets A Percy Jackson Poster, Plus One For Insidious Chapter 2

June 13, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

A new poster for Percy Jackson: Sea Of Monsters has arrived, which shows off Logan Lerman’s jaw and his sword. This time around Percy and his friends must go under the sea to retrieve the Golden Fleece. It’ll be out in August.

There’s also a creepy new poster for Insidious Chapter 2, which you can see below. Insidious was a surprise hit, grossing just under $100 million worldwide on a budget of just $1.5 million. It’s no surprise they wanted a sequel, which will hit cinemas in September.

Director James Wan and writer Leigh Whannell bring back the entire original cast, including Patrick Wilson, Rose Byrne and Barbara Hershey, for more creepy adventures from ‘The Further’, a strange place that first became part of their lives when young Dalton fell into a coma.

Buffy’s Marti Noxon Writing Tomb Raider Film Reboot

June 13, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Marti-NoxonWhile the Angelina Jolie starring Tomb Raider movies weren’t a disaster, most people would agree that they didn’t make the most of the videogames they were based on. Now, with the games having a reboot, Hollywood is planning a new take for the movies as well, and they’ve hired Marti Noxon to write the script, according to Variety.

Noxon made her name as a writer and producer on Buffy the Vampire Slayer and has since worked as a consulting producer on the likes of Glee and Mad Men. She also wrote the screenplays of I Am Number Four and the recent Fright Night remake.

Graham King (GK Films) and MGM have been trying to get a new Tomb Raider movie off the ground for a while now, and hope that Noxon’s involvement will help push it forward. However there’s no news on the take the new film will give the material, or whether it will follow the darker tone of the latest revamp of the games.

Tracey Ullman Joins Johnny Depp & Meryl Streep In Into The Woods

June 13, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Tracey-UllmanWith the plot of Into The Woods seeing the main characters meeting various fairytale characters, there’s plenty of room for director Rob Marshall to line up star turns. The likes of Meryl Streep, Johnny Depp, Chris Pine, Jake Gyllenhaal, and Emily Blunt have already signed on, and now THR reports that Britain’s own Tracey Ullman has joined the throng.

Into The Woods follows a baker and his wife (Blunt) who try to break a curse placed upon them, which prevents them from having children, by confronting the witch (Streep) who caused their trouble in the first place. Along the way, they encounter fairy tale characters such as Rapunzel, Cinderella (Pine and Gyllenhaal will be the princes from those tales), Little Red Riding Hood (Depp is up to be the wolf), and many more.

Ullman will play the mother of Jack The Giant Killer, although her son is yet to be cast.

The movie is based on Stephen Sondheim’s classic musical, with shooting due to kick off later this year.

Courteney Cox Plans Her Directorial Debut, Starring Seann William Scott

June 13, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

courtney-coxCourtney Cox wants to show she’s got more than just acting feathers to her bow, as she’s busy planning her directorial debut, and she’s lined up a decent cast to help her. Variety reports that she’ll helm the indie Hello I Must Be Going, which has Seann William Scott, Kate Walsh, Kyle Gallner and Rob Riggle set to star.

Not much has been revealed about the plot, although Scott will play a man contemplating suicide, but before that he decides to revisits his hometown to settle some scores.

David Flebotte wrote the screenplay, having first worked with Cox on her TV series, Dirt. Shooting will begin in LA later this month.

Eddie Redmayne Finds The Theory Of Everything As Stephen Hawking

June 13, 2013 By Tim Isaac 1 Comment

eddie-redmayneEddie Redmayne’s star is certainly on the rise thanks to the likes of Les Miserables. Now he’s signed up for a slightly Oscar-bait role, as Deadline reports he’ll play a young Stephen Hawking in the movie Theory of Everything.

Working Title is backing the movie, with Man On Wire’s James Marsh set to direct. The only info on the exact plot of the movie is that it will ‘focus on the relationship between Hawking and his wife’. However it doesn’t say which wife, as he’s had two. We’re presuming that it’s his first, Jane Wilde, who he met shortly before he was diagnosed with Motor Neurone Disease while studying at Cambridge at the age of 21, and who stayed with him even when he was told he might not live more than two years longer.

Redmayne is also being sought to star with Carey Mulligan and Matthias Schoenaerts in Far From The Madding Crowd, which the Thomas Vinterberg is set to direct. However he may end up passing on that project so he can concentrate on the Hawking movie.

Tom Hanks Reteaming With Tom Twyker For A Hologram For The King

June 13, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

tom-hanksHaving worked with Tom Twyker on Cloud Atlas, Tom Hanks is teaming up with the director for an adaptation of Dave Eggers’ novel, A Hologram For The King, according to Deadline.

The book is about a down-on-his-luck businessman who decides to leave America and try to find better fortune in Saudi Arabia, hoping to ‘stave off foreclosure, pay his daughter’s college tuition, and do something memorable.’

At the moment the project doesn’t have a studio or financing attached, but with Hanks attached, it should be able to drum up some interest. Hanks will next be seen in the Somalian pirate drama Captain Phillips, before playing Walt Disney in Saving Mr. Banks.

Sandra Bullock Circling Annie Remake As Miss Hannigan

June 13, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Sandra-BullockSandra Bullock was offered a role in the planned remake of Annie back in March, but she turned it down. Now she’s had a change of heart and THR reports that is in talks to join the musical, alongside Quvenzhané Wallis and Jamie Foxx.

She would play Miss Hannigan, the unpleasant, scheming woman who runs the orphanage that Annie (Quvenzhané Wallis) lives in before being taken in by Daddy Warbucks (Jamie Foxx). Carol Burnett played Miss Hannigan in the 1982 films version of Annie.

Will Gluck is set to direct the movie from a screenplay that he is currently rewriting. Emma Thompson wrote the original draft, which was rewritten by Aline Brosh McKenna.

Downton Abbey Gets A Drag Makeover And A Pop Soundtrack

June 12, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment


Downton Abbey has been severely lacking in drag queens, so Funny Or Die has remedied that with Snore, a very camp new vid that brings a bit of drag to the period drama, and turns it into Snore.

The video features the likes of Stephen Guarino, Willam, Vicky Vox, Michelle Visage, David Burtka, Jimmy Ray Bennett, Jeff Hiller, Drew Droege, Courtney Act, Jonny McGovern, Sebastian LaCause and more, all suggesting Downton isn’t the fastest paced show on earth. And it’s all set to the tune of Madonna’ Vogue and The Real McCoy’s Another Night.

Take a look above. [Read more…]

House Of Cards – Season 1 (Blu-ray)

June 12, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Starring: Kevin Spacey, Robin Wright, Corey Stoll, Kate Mara
Director: Various
Running Time: 674 mins
Certificate: 18
Release Date: June 10th 2013

Most businesses try out new things by dipping their toe in and limiting their financial exposure, testing the waters before going full hog. However Netflix isn’t that kind of company. For their second original series (after Lilyhammer), some sources suggest they spent $100 million on House Of Cards.

They also managed to draw in such big names as David Fincher to produce on the promise that unlike with normal TV, they’d be relatively hands off and just let the show’s team create. They didn’t stint on the cast either, luring in the likes of Kevin Spacey and Robin Wright. [Read more…]

The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug Teaser Trailer – Including our first good look at the dragon

June 12, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment


The teaser trailer for The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug is much what you’d expect. Indeed it was always in danger of seeming exactly like all the promos for the first film, so it makes sure it adds in a few new things, mostly our first looks at Orlando Bloom returning to the role of Legolas, as well as Evangeline Lilly as the elf Tauriel and a decent glimpse of the evil, treasure-loving dragon, Smaug (who’ll be voiced by Benedict Cumberbatch).

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.

It hits cinemas on December 13th.

Magic Magic Trailer – Michael Cera & Juno Temple team for a psychological thriller

June 12, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment


There was a fair amount of interest in Magic Magic at Sundance, which gives Michael Cera a rather more intense and dark role than we’ve come to expect from him, as he sets about driving Juno Temple nuts.

Now a new trailer has been released, so we can all get a taste for the movie.

Sebastian Silva writes and directs the film which concerns a young American traveler named Alicia (Juno Temple) who, while in the spectacular Chilean lake district, begins seeing disturbing images visible only to her. Her best friend Sarah (Emily Browning) suddenly returns to Santiago, leaving Alicia in an unfamiliar country surrounded by strangers (Michael Cera and Catalina Sandino Moreno). She begins to unravel, seeing darker visions and hearing chilling noises that send her running into the woods.

It going straight-to-DVD in the US on August 6th, and should reach the UK later this year.
