New Disney’s Planes Trailer Is Flying High & Looking Very Pretty

By Leave a Comment


Disney’s Planes started out life years ago as a direct-to-DVD project, based on the world of Pixar’s Cars but made by the House Of Mouse’s DisneyToon Studios subsidiary. However they eventually decided to turn it into a theatrical feature, and this new trailer gives a hint as to why.

The decision to turn it from DVD to cinema came around the same time 3D took off in cinema, and this promo certainly shows off the three-dimensional potential of the movie, as well as looking incredibly pretty indeed.

Disney’s Planes is described as an action-packed 3D animated comedy adventure about Dusty, a big hearted crop duster and his dream of competing as a high-flying air racer—and his decidedly unfortunate fear of heights. It’ll hit cinemas this August.

Europa Report Trailer – Sharlto Copley heads for Jupiter’s moons

By Leave a Comment


Europa Report has been flying under the radar, but on the evidence of this trailer, there’s a decent chance it’ll be a sleeper success, with Sharlto Copley and Michael Nyqvist heading into space.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Europa Report follows a contemporary mission to Jupiter’s moon Europa to investigate the possible existence of alien life within our solar system. When unmanned probes suggest that a hidden ocean could exist underneath Europa’s icy surface and may contain single-celled life, Europa Ventures, a privately funded space exploration company, sends six of the best astronauts from around the world to confirm the data and explore the revolutionary discoveries that may lie in the Europan ocean. After a near-catastrophic technical failure that leads to loss of communication with Earth and the tragic death of a crewmember, the surviving astronauts must overcome the psychological and physical toll of deep space travel, and survive a discovery on Europa more profound than they had ever imagined.’

The film is out in the US in August 2nd, but no UK date has been set yet. [Read more…]

Glee Star Matthew Morrison Donates Proceeds From Pre-Sales Of New Album To Marriage Equality Fight

By Leave a Comment


As a former Broadway star and now playing Will Schuester on Glee, there’s no doubt that Matthew Morrison has been exposed to plenty of things gay, despite being straight himself. Now he’s speaking out in support of gay marriage and putting his money where his mouth is, by donating part of the proceeds from pre-sales of his new album to the Human Rights Campaign.

Morrison has also made a video for the HRC, which you can watch above. The Human Rights Campaign is the largest LGBT advocacy organization in the US, with the Glee star stepping forward to support their Americans for Marriage Equality campaign.

In a statement, Morrison says, “I’m thrilled to join HRC in their vital work to bring full equality to all Americans. At this decisive moment, when there is so much work still ahead, I’m standing with HRC and LGBT people across the country until this fight is won.”

Morrison’s new solo album, Where it All Began, is out in the US in June. It features an assortment of classic standards, including many from Broadway musicals.

Michael Douglas Banned Giant Penises From Liberace Biopic, Behind The Candelabra!

By Leave a Comment

behind-the-candelabra-new-slide
Steven Soderbergh has promised that his Liberace biopic Behind The Candelabra won’t shy away from Michael Douglas and Matt Damon getting very gay. Indeed the director recently told THR that, “It’s intimate stuff, even if it was a guy and a girl. But for a lot of people it’ll be hard to see Jason Bourne on top of Gordon Gekko.”

However, while Douglas was fine with kissing an man-on-man sex, there was one thing he thought went too far – 14-inch penises!

In a profile in New York Magazine, he says, “Liberace loved sex, and I didn’t have a problem with that. But, at one point, Steven Soderbergh wanted to show Lee [which is what Liberace was known as to his friends] watching a gay porno. I said, ‘I’d like my kids to see this R-rated movie, but I don’t want to show them a 14-inch dick!’ It was the only thing I objected to, so we cut to different parts of the apartment during the porno… It may not have been 14 inches, but it was huge.”

So if you’d been hoping for full-on porn from the film, you have Douglas to blame for the fact you’re not getting any.

Behind The Candelabra will air on HBO in the US on May 27th, and will reach UK cinemas on June 7th.

New Pacific Rim Trailer – Guillermo Del Toro’s cancels the apocalypse in truly epic style

By Leave a Comment


In a summer filled with sequels and movies based on known properties, the original movie that’s looking the most exciting is definitely Pacific Rim, and the latest trailer suggests this is going to be a movie told on a truly epic scale. Indeed it’s look pretty awesome.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘When legions of monstrous creatures, known as Kaiju, started rising from the sea, a war began that would take millions of lives and consume humanity’s resources for years on end. To combat the giant Kaiju, a special type of weapon was devised: massive robots, called Jaegers, which are controlled simultaneously by two pilots whose minds are locked in a neural bridge. But even the Jaegers are proving nearly defenseless in the face of the relentless Kaiju. On the verge of defeat, the forces defending mankind have no choice but to turn to two unlikely heroes–a washed up former pilot (Charlie Hunnam) and an untested trainee (Rinko Kikuchi)–who are teamed to drive a legendary but seemingly obsolete Jaeger from the past. Together, they stand as mankind’s last hope against the mounting apocalypse.’

The movie opens July 12th. [Read more…]
