Though the prequel/sequel to 2006’s 300 hasn’t yet found its male lead, with Joel Edgerton ultimately passing on the role after talk of his involvement, it looks like 300: Battle of Artemisia, previously titled Xerxes, is getting close to casting its female lead, with Eva Green entering negotiations for the role of Artemisia. With the [...]
In case you missed it, the first trailer for Disney’s upcoming John Carter, previously titled John Carter of Mars, hit the net a couple of weeks back, and it was ridiculously good. In short, it looks like it’s going to be everything we wished this year’s Green Lantern could have been. We’ve now got two [...]
Here’s one of all the Robert Pattinson fans out there as a new poster for the Twilight star’s new movie, Cosmopolis. The film is directed by the legendary David Cronenberg and also stars Paul Giamatti, Jay Baruchel, Kevin Durand, Juliette Binoche and Samantha Morton. It should be with us at some point on 2012. IMDB [...]
Earlier this evening I put up the news that Warner Bros. had officially announced that the first trailer for The Hobbit will sit in front of Tintin in the US and no sooner had I put up the news than CBM have placed a nice new image of Martin Freeman aka Bilbo Baggins from The [...]
Lasse Hallström‘s follow up to the untroubled waters of the Nicholas Sparks adaptaion Dear John is more of the same it would appear, you can judge for yourself with the new trailer for Salmon Fishing in the Yemen. The trailer is charming enough and benefits from Kristen Scott Thomas looking as if she’s having the [...]

Warner Bros. have just announced on via their Twitter account that The Hobbit Trailer for An Unexpected Journey will sit in front of Tintin when it hits the US on the 21st December which is all well and good but the question I have is when will we be seeing it in the UK? Most [...]
Pinewood Studios have just put up this fabulous featurette focusing on Hugo and the filming which took place at Shepperton and Pinewood Studios right here in the UK. In the feauturette which looks specifically at the studios used for filming, we also hear from Graham King who talks about Director Martin Scorsese and the ‘magician’ [...]
For Rampart, writer-director Oren Moverman has reteamed with Woody Harrelson and Ben Foster, the stars of his Oscar-nominated debut, The Messenger, and he’s made what I think is the best cop crime drama since L.A. Confidential. I got to see the film at its UK premiere at the BFI London Film Festival back in October, [...]
A new poster for science fiction film Chronicle has been released this week, and if you haven’t already seen the trailer for this film, I recommend that you carry on reading. Set in found footage format, three high school friends (Dane DeHaan, Alex Russell and Michael B. Jordan) gain superpowers after making an incredible discovery. [...]
The latest stop on the route to the Final Destination is here and if you get your kicks from pretty people featuring in over the top death scenes and playing a thankless game of Hide and Seek with Death himself then you’ll be in for a treat with the fifth in the series. My review [...]
In 2009 the ex Mr Madonna (otherwise known as Guy Ritchie) called upon the unlikely pairing of Robert Downey Jr and Jude Law to bring back to the screen two of crime fiction’s greatest heroes – Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson. The pair are up there amongst the most filmed literary characters, Holmes has been [...]
With Rise of the Planet of the Apes there was a risk that Fox were returning to a tainted well once too often, with the series still in the doldrums following the much-derided Tim Burton adaptation of the original story ten years ago. Yet the studio’s faith in British director Rupert Wyatt proves well placed, [...]
Pretty much everyone knows by now that when James Cameron’s Avatar came out at the end of 2009, it quickly rose to become the world’s highest-grossing film at the box office – taking the top spot from another Cameron film, Titanic – turning its budget of just under $250m. into almost $2.8bn. When you have [...]
Carol Morley’s film Dreams of a Life enters UK cinemas today on a wave of acclaim for its telling of the death and life of Joyce Vincent, who was discovered in her home after having died three years earlier. If you don’t know the story behind Morley’s film it is well worth reading her piece [...]
Contraband is shaping up to be one of the best action crime dramas of next year, and we’ve already been seeing some great things from it, in the form of the first official trailer back in September, followed up by the first and second posters for the film, and most recently the second trailer just [...]
Phyllida Lloyd’s first experience directing Meryl Streep involved sun, song and a lot of frolicking along the sand. Three years on they have returned with a far quieter and more serious film, mapping the life of one of Britain’s most notorious political figures and only female Prime Minister, Margaret Thatcher. A patchwork of politics and [...]
Before there was Jack Skellington preceding Christmas with nightmares, Billy Bob Thornton giving Santa Claus a bad name, or rare exports maiming innocent reindeer, it was the Grinch who first turned the tables on the festive season, daring to be indifferent (after Scrooge, of course). The first of Dr. Seuss’ acclaimed children’s stories to be adapted to feature [...]
Eschewing the accepted convention of teasing a new trailer with the unveiling of a poster a few days beforehand The Expendables 2 is following its recent trailer with this new image of Stallone making his own inimitable impression on a nearby wall. Those merry veterans of the movie web scene AICN were deigned hard enough [...]
Last week I set sail to watch the newest entry into the Chipmunk Saga and interview the anchor of the series and what do you know, I had a blast with both. The film is a lot of fun and suprisingly watchable if you can get past the really bad Charlie Sheen and Cast Away jokes, [...]
