Word came back in June that the sequel to X-Men Origins: Wolverine, entitled The Wolverine, had finally found its director in James Mangold, director of such films as 3:10 To Yuma, Walk The Line, and Girl, Interrupted. Mangold has now lined up his follow-up to The Wolverine, Deadline report, attaching himself to a remake of [...]
I’m been pretty unenthusiastic about Disney’s John Carter. Let’s just get that straight. From the first trailer to the almost 10 minutes of footage screened at D23 this past year, I remain unconvinced. While the work of fiction by Edgar Rice Burroughs are universally adored, and borrowed from, I have never been compelled into his world. In [...]
Now that the movie marketeers have thrown themselves with abandon into the raging torrent of the internet there are a few decent uses of the medium cropping up. One such example is this new motion poster for James Watkins’ big screen adaptation of Susan Hill’s The Woman in Black which is all kinds of creepy, [...]
It’s a widely held belief by many that comedy doesn’t travel well. Comedies from Hollywood often face more uncertain futures when it comes to international takings than other genres, particularly action films, and non-English speaking comedies seem to struggle to find an audience outside of their native countries. There are of course exceptions and I [...]
Mark Wahlberg’s next film, Contraband, is definitely one to look forward to next year. I’m a big Wahlberg fan, so anything he’s in I know I’m going to love, and this project sounds like more brilliance from him. The first trailer landed at the end of last month, and I’ve heard that it’s looking pretty [...]
Last week, I had the ridiculously awesome and privileged opportunity to visit the set of the UK’s newest attraction, Warner Bros. Harry Potter Studio Tour London at Leavesden Studios. Since filming of the eighth and final Harry Potter movie, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 finished, Leavesden Studios underwent a massive makeover, was [...]
When British film-maker Phil Grabsky arrived in Afghanistan almost a decade ago, he didn’t know what to expect. The Boy Mir is the fruit of extraordinary persistence from Grabsky and his team who succeeded against the odds to provide an unprecedented perspective into life in one of the world’s poorest countries. David Cox caught up [...]
A highlight of the London Film Festival thus far was Lynne Ramsay long awaited adaptation of Lionel Shriver’s mesmerising novel We Need to Talk About Kevin. The atmosphere post-press screening was subdued to say the least and it’s a testment to the film’s power than both those who were familiar with the book were as [...]
Last Night is a joint Miramax and Gaumont production centred around an element crucial to all relationships- monogamy. Writer/Director Massy Tadjedin toys with themes of jealousy, lust, temptation and infidelity in a way that absorbs you into the relationship of Joanna and Michael played by Keira Knightly and Sam Worthington. Three years into married life, [...]
Our friends over at MSN have just launched the first Full Length trailer for Sherlock Holmes: A Game Of Shadows. We’ve had a teaser before but this one gives us a lot more footage and storyline. Guy Ritchie returns to direct this movie after the success of the 2009 movie with a cast that includes [...]
The first reviews are finding their way online for The Adventures of Tintin: The Secret of the Unicorn and it’s a generally positive reception for a film which comes to us from two masters of modern popular cinema. If you’re curious then click here to read Ben’s take on the film. THR sat down with [...]
John Singleton blasted his way onto the cinematic landscape with his mightily impressive and rightly lauded debut feature, Boyz N The Hood. But that was a looong time ago and to be blunt, the intervening years have not been kind. Higher Learning, Shaft, 2 Fast 2 Furious and Four Brothers all had their moments and [...]
It looks like being another left-field casting choice by Quentin Tarantino, following in the grand tradition of Travolta in Pulp Fiction, Forster in Jackie Brown and Carradine in Kill Bill. Don Johnson, he of Miami Vice fame and Nash Bridges, erm, something, will apparently step in front of the camera as a villainous plantation owner [...]
Just a couple of weeks ago, a dozen new images from Tarsem Singh’s upcoming as-yet-untitled Snow White film went online, and they gave us a pretty great look at what we can expect from the film when it comes out next year. Half a dozen more images have now surfaced over at THR, and they [...]
There was naturally a lot of speculation circling Arnold Schwarzenegger leading up to when his term as Governor of California ended at the start of the year. His expected return to acting is now official, with production on Liongate’s Last Stand just begun. The film will see him star opposite Jaimie Alexander (Thor) as the [...]
It’s probably worth starting this review of The Adventures of Tintin: The Secret of the Unicorn by gently ushering a couple of elephants out of the room. The first is the title, which is ridiculously overlong. For the sake of simplicity, from here on in, we’ll simply be calling it ‘Tintin’. The second, much larger [...]
To coincide with the release of Miss Bala in cinemas on 28th October, Metrodome have not only given us this exclusive clip from the movie but also the chance to win a signed poster from the movie. In the clip which is rather intense and should be viewed with caution, we see some of the [...]
Cillian Murphy must be high on the list of any director so it’s testament to the project that first time director Carl Tibbets convinced he actor to join Thandie Newton and Jamie Bell in leading his first film. If the DVD tagline from our friends at BestforFilm is accurate then Carl Tibbets’ new film Retreat [...]
Anyone who has already seen Masaki Kobayashi’s 1962 film Harakiri, of which this film is very much a remake, will very quickly realise when watching Miike’s 2011 update that little in the story has been changed but whilst the mechanics of the story are unchanged Miike makes significant changes in the way this story is told. Hara-Kiri: Death of [...]
Universal Pictures International Home Entertainment have given us this great clip from their new movie, Michael Jackson: The Life of an Icon which is released on DVD and Blu-ray 31st October. The clip is called ‘It was Amazing’ and in it, we get to hear from Mathra Reeves who recounts the first time that she [...]
