Back in October 2009, somewhere amid my excitement for Zombieland and Where the Wild Things Are, I appear to have missed out on the horror event of the year. With the sequel due out this October, it is time to make amends. I am not, as you might expect, talking about the latest installment in [...]
EW spoke to Zach Galifianakis earlier today about the upcoming sequel to 2009′s hit comedy The Hangover. The follow-up, which feels like it has been in pre-production for ever, will move the action from Las Vegas to an as-yet undetermined locale. While the filmmakers decide on a setting (“It keeps changing, actually,” the actor reports), [...]
Just when you thought it might be safe to let yourself become excited for the Alien prequels again, EW reports that the rumours that Gemma Arterton may star haven’t gone away quite yet. The actress – she of St. Trinians and Clash of the Titans fame – spoke to the magazine this morning at the [...]
The Hollywood Report brings news that Control actor Sam Riley is in talks to play English dramatist and poet Christopher “Kit” Marlowe in the biopic A Dead Man in Deptford, adapted from the Anthony Burgess novel of the same name. The version of Marlowe’s life (as depicted in the book) also deals with the idea [...]
Six half hours in the company of Dawn French and Alfred Molina may promise a lot but Roger and Val Have Just Got In is a departure from the BBC’s sitcom successes of the past; this definitely is not Terry & June: The Next Generation. Sitting in the schedules, somewhere between Carry On Alan Bennett [...]
Matthew McConaughey seems to have allowed himself to settle into a rut lately. By-the-numbers rom-coms such as Failure to Launch, Ghosts of Girlfriends Past, How to Lose a Guy in Ten Days and The Wedding Planner have all served to blight the memory of some genuinely varied and successful character work in Frailty, Amistad, A Time [...]
Another jewel in the crown of the Studio Canal Collection of Blu-rays released today is Marc Caro and Jean Pierre Jeunet’s surrealistic masterpiece, Delicatessen. As with others in the collection the film is a classic of its time and genre, and I can well remember seeing this playing in a double bill with Terry Gilliam’s [...]
Empire and Orange have both posted exclusive new clips from Nigel Cole’s new female-orientated drama Made In Dagenham. From a script penned by Billy Ivory, Made In Dagenham is a dramatisation of the 1968 strike at the Ford Dagenham car plant, where female workers walked out in protest against sexual discrimination. Toplined by Sally Hawkins, Made [...]
One might call Mickey Rourke’s next movie, Rourke: The Professional, but unfortunately that would be copying Luc Besson’s title for the amazing Leon film starring Jean Reno. Now that I think about it – screw that title because the name of his newest film is even better, its called The Ice Man, a true story about a [...]
Warner Bros. Pictures have released a detailed synopsis for the penultimate installment in the long-running and highly successful Harry Potter franchise. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1 will open in the UK on November 19 and reunites Harry (Daniel Radcliffe), Hermoine (Emma Watson) and Ron (Rupert Grint) with director David Yates. Read the full [...]
In autumn 2008 the entertainment channels were abuzz with the strange story of Joaquin Phoenix’s retirement from acting. In the tradition of all good movie plots there was a twist – this Hollywood star had set his heart on a new life as a musician and nothing was going to stand in his way. There [...]
There is usually a grace period following a disaster in which filmmakers allow the dust to settle before typing the words ‘based on a true story’. After 9/11, for example, Paul Greengrass and Oliver Stone each waited five years before releasing United 93 and World Trade Center respectively – similarly any onscreen dramatisation surrounding the [...]
I could be hugely unimaginative and begin this review of Glee Season 1: Volume 2 Road to Regionals by comparing the hugely successful television series to Marmite. Such an analogy, however, would be doing Glee a disservice. Marmite, you see, is rubbish. Picking up where Volume 1 left off, this second collection of episodes chronicle [...]
IFC have bought the US distribution rights to James Gunn’s dark superhero comedy Super, Deadline have confirmed. Super premiered during Friday’s Midnight Madness at the 35th Toronto International Film Festival where it received a lot of buzz from critics and audiences alike. The film stars Rainn Wilson, Ellen Page, Liv Tyler, Kevin Bacon, Nathan Fillion [...]
The fact that Scream 4 is due to wrap up filming this month hasn’t stopped returning director Wes Craven adding to his already considerable cast. Zap2it is reporting that Life Unexpected’s Brittany Roberts , while THR is reporting that Friday Night Lights’ Aimee Teegarden, will be joining Emma Roberts, Rory Culkin, Hayden Panettiere, Adam Brody, [...]
Box Office estimates suggest that Resident Evil: Afterlife has already banked $73.2 worldwide – the highest that any installment in the franchise has achieved to date. As such, it comes as no surprise to report that a fifth film is already in the works. To mark the release of Afterlife – which opened in the [...]
It was reported last week that an offer had been made to Natalie Portman – on the back of her acclaimed performance in Black Swan – to star in Alfonso Cuarón’s Gravity, after Angelina Jolie turned down the role, twice. While Portman has yet to read the script and accept the offer, it seems studio executive [...]
Sandy Collora is perhaps best known as the man who directed the cult short film Batman: Dead End, praised by Kevin Smith as “possibly the truest, best Batman movie ever made”, albeit before the Nolan era. Now, seven years later, Collora has thrown off the shackles of his short film career with the release of [...]
Cinematical (via The Playlist) have revealed the first clip from Brighton Rock, Rowan Joffe’s adaptation of Graham Greene’s celebrated novel. Brighton Rock is Joffe’s directorial debut, but was previously responsible for writing such films as 28 Weeks Later and The American. The film stars Sam Riley and Andrea Riseborough, both up-and-coming thespians, alongside big names such as [...]
Karma (Shera Bechard) is, as the title suggests, a sweet girl and to add to her vulnerable appearance (the girl you see on the cover isn’t the girl we’re introduced to at the start of the film) she is also mute. Upon learning that her sister is dead, most likely murdered, she seeks revenge against the people [...]
