Share/Bookmark Dwayne Johnson continues his franchise piggybacking with news from Slash Film that the Faster star has announced on Twitter that he’ll be playing the role of Roadblock (sounds like an apt description of his muscular build) in next summer’s sequel to G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra. He’ll join the original’s Duke, Channing Tatum, [...]
Share/BookmarkEver since Zack Snyder greased up Michael Fassbender, Gerard Butler et al for 300 and made a mint in the process, chatter has been generated about a prequel or sequel or something. Frank Miller, author of the original and masterful graphic novel about the heroic stand of 300 Spartans at Thermopylae, was working on a [...]
Share/BookmarkCarey Mulligan made a name for herself with An Education and has built on that with acclaimed work in everything from Wall Street 2 to Never Let Me Go.

Stan Smith, a CIA-employed conservative and his wife Francine have two teenage children Hayley and Steve, as well as a grey-skinned alien named Roger and a man trapped in the body of a [...]
Share/BookmarkThis is how I see it. If we are happy (and we are) to devote a whole post to the big new box of Blu-ray for Jurassic Park (a film which we’ve probably all got on one format or another) then it is our duty to do the same for a film that will have [...]
Share/BookmarkWhat do you get when you put Reese Witherspoon, Owen Wilson, Paul Rudd and Jack Nicholson in a film together? Answer: an impressive cast, which is greater than the sum of what is on offer here. How Do You Know is very much like a recipe that should work, but lacks a lightness and assured [...]
Share/BookmarkJacki Weaver was largely unknown outside her native Australia until the wave of acclaim she has received for her portrayal of Janine ‘Smurf’ Cody in writer/director David Michôd’s powerful crime family saga Animal Kingdom. Ms. Weaver’s stunning performance has earned her award recognition at home and abroad, including Golden Globe and Oscar nominations for Best [...]
Share/BookmarkMaking its world debut at this year’s Edinburgh International Film Festival, Page Eight marks director David Hare’s first feature film in 14 years. Although intended for television (Page Eight was directed for broadcast on BBC 2) it is nevertheless an accomplished spy drama that holds its own on the big screen. Bill Nighty stars as Johnny [...]
Share/BookmarkPoint the imagination and creative force of Guillermo del Toro at an audience and chances are there’ll be some spine tingling going on, as the man has been behind the camera of some of the most effective and emotionally engaging horrors of recent years. News that he was executive-producing Troy Nixey’s debut film Don’t Be [...]
Share/BookmarkDreamworks have just released the first trailer for Steven Spielberg’s highly anticipated film War Horse. Just over a year ago it was announced that Spielberg would be directing the big screen adaptation of Michael Morpurgo’s novel which is perhaps more familiar to audiences in its incarnation as the widly successful play. All we’ve seen so [...]
Share/BookmarkFacebook gaming has come a long way in the last few years, with thousands of hours sunk into the various games which have grabbed vast numbers of players (both gamers and non-gamers). King of the Park is the latest of these gaming portals to use social networking to great advantage, with the Fanta sponsored site [...]
Share/BookmarkThe impact was dulled slightly for this new Mission: Impossible Ghost Protocol trailer by the leaking earlier in the week of a bootlegged French version, but now we’ve got the real deal and it looks like a remarkable return to form for the spy series in what may well turn out to be the start [...]
Share/BookmarkPerhaps gaining a little ground a couple of big trailers due to hit in the next 24 hours Constantin Films have unleashed a new trailer for Paul W. S. Anderson’s 3D adaptation of the classic Alexandre Dumas tale The Three Musketeers, and it’s just as crazy as the first… Given Anderson’s previous form there was [...]
Share/BookmarkEmma Thompson – who has spent the last couple of years flitting between magicians Nanny McPhee and Sybil Trelawney – is apparently being sought after by Will Smith to pen a new vehicle for his daughter, Willow. I say a new vehicle, Annie has been around for decades. 30 years on from the John Huston [...]
Share/BookmarkAfter a nifty opening which is comprised of both stock footage and newly-shot film (think JFK meets Apollo 13) revealing that the US moon landing was part of a covert mission to explore a marooned alien vessel from the Transformer’s home plant of Cybertron, we’re back in present day where the surviving Autobots have now [...]
Share/BookmarkScary number horror 11-11-11 has a new trailer and it’s a demonic/numeric yelpfest from director Darren Lynn Bousman. Bousman released the trailer on his Vimeo page and it follows on nicely from the previous trailers we’ve seen, adding in a voiceover to fully set the scene. The scene in question is that the eleventh minute [...]
Share/BookmarkAn awesome new trailer for the upcoming film, Immortals, due out on 11th November this year, has gone up over at RyanSeacrest.com, and it has plenty of epic new footage to add to the first trailer we saw back in April. Tarsem Singh will be returning as director five years on from his film, The [...]
Share/BookmarkOpen Road Films have committed to U.S. distribution of the latest Stephanie Meyer book-to-film sci-fi thriller, The Host, and given us a release date of March 29th, 2013. The Host, set in a time where Earth has been invaded and a majority of our bodies have been taken over by an alien race of “souls”, [...]
Share/BookmarkDreamworks have kindly sent through these lovely new character posters for Craig Gillespie’s updating of the horror comedy Fright Night and we get our best look yet at David Tennant as as a tooled up Peter Vincent. Imogen Poots, Anton Yelchin and Colin Farrell complete the set and they are part of an excellent cast [...]
Share/BookmarkIf you missed the first interview check it out here with Larry the Cable Guy and Emily Mortimer. In this interview, I get to chat with Owen Wilson and Eddie Izzard about their roles in the brand new Pixar movie, Cars 2 which comes out in the UK 22nd July. I enjoy Eddie’s flamboyant comedy [...]
