When word came earlier this month that rising young star Hailee Steinfeld would be joining Asa Butterfield for the upcoming sci-fi film Ender’s Game, there were also rumours that none other than Harrison Ford was talks for a leading role. It now looks like those rumours were well-informed, with Variety reporting that both Harrison Ford [...]
You have to worry when a film’s musical medley finale is far more entertaining than what you’ve just sat through. Another snag for the filmmakers of the equally disappointing Valentine’s Day last year is their biggest star, Robert De Niro, is woefully miscast in the sombre role, when his true comedic talent is apparent in [...]
After the success of last year’s ensemble romantic comedy Valentine’s Day, which turned $50m. into more than $200m., director Gerry Marshall is returning this year for another ensemble romantic comedy, New Year’s Eve. At first, I was a little sceptical of the project, but after a surprisingly good first trailer, I became a lot more [...]
Janie Jones, wearing its indie colours for all to see, finds Abigail Breslin (Little Miss Sunshine, Signs) being handed over to her utterly unaware and unprepared dad (Alessandro Nivola – Jurassic Park III, Face/Off) by her mum, Elizabeth Shue. When Shue goes into rehab, Breslin has nowhere to go and so travels with her dad’s [...]
Warner Bros. have released this new ‘Special Content Trailer’ which seems to be a cross between a trailer and a featurette. As well as some new footage, we also get to see some interviews with many of the cast which is all rather extensive and includes Robert De Niro, Ashton Kutcher, Halle Berry, Jessica Biel, [...]
We had a teaser trailer for the movie last week but now Warner Bros. have released this new batch of images from their new movie, New Year’s Eve which is a follow-up, sequel of sorts to their 2010 movie, Valentine’s Day. Both are directed by Garry Marshall of Pretty Woman fame and he has used [...]
Rango, a quirky, delightfully unique and inspired animated film, was released in cinemas back in March where it made quite the impression, grossing an estimated $242M worldwide and kick-starting this years awards buzz. Gore Verbinksi’s quirky, delightfully unique and inspired animation film, featuring the voices of Johnny Depp, Isla Fisher, Abigail Breslin and Ray Winstone, hit [...]
Even though I thought it was rubbish. Warner Bros. didn’t (because they look at the bottom line) and here we have the sort-of sequel to their movie, Valentine’s Day in the form of New Year’s Eve. The cast list is sort of silly as it has a gazillion a-listers in it who will (I assume) [...]
The Hunger Games is a series of novels, primarily aimed at young adults, that has been phenomenally successful both critically and commercially and a big screen adaptation has been rumoured for some time and now it looks as though some front runners are emerging as favourites to be cast in key roles. Deadline are reporting [...]
We’ve a little Rango crazy over the last few weeks, and with good reason. Gore Verbinski’s CG adventure looks incredible, as the many trailers and clips show, and we’ve got our hands on some concept art showing the transition between the hand drawn storyboards and the final shot. It’s always interesting to break down the [...]
Tomorrow sees the arrival of Rango into UK cinemas. We loved the film, and Gore Verbinski’s chameleonic western tale not only looks fantastic but benefits from a voice cast which includes Johnny Depp, Isla Fisher, Bill Nighy, Ray Winstone, Timothy Olyphant, Abigail Breslin and Alfred Molina. You can see why we’re excited about this one. [...]
Rango sees Gore Verbinski and Jonny Depp team up to tell the tale of a pet chameleon with aspirations of becoming an actor finding himself stranded in a town called Dirt in the Mojave desert. In order to fit in with the locals he adopts the persona of a typical western gunslinger and soon finds [...]
Johnny Depp’s latest movie comes in animated form with the name of Rango. I caught up with co-star Abigail Breslin and their director Gore Verbinski where we talked about acting for this animated movie with no voice booth included. If you missed our interview post with Isla Fisher you can check it out here, our [...]
Over the last week there have been a number of clips from Gore Verbinski’s Rango unleashed onto an expectant world and I can’t work out why people aren’t falling over themselves to praise the quality of the visuals here. I’m not just talking about the character design or the impressively rendered models or the almost [...]
Pirates of the Caribbean colleagues, director Gore Verbinski and actor Johnny Depp are the headliners on the poster for this new animation but in all honesty, you really wouldn’t recognise Depp’s vocals, were you not in the know. Depp is like a voice chameleon himself as the optimistic lizard lead, Rango, the latest bestial hero [...]
Isla Fisher used to be on Home and Away, just like Melissa George, whose turn in Christopher Smith’s Triangle was very impressive, and with her leading role in Confessions of a Shopaholic and her appearances in Burke and Hare and now Gore Verbinski’s Rango, the future is looking grand for Ms. Fisher. Here she talks [...]
Rango hits the UK this time next week and we’re very much looking forward to it! Next week, we have an exclusive interview with Abigail Breslin and director, Gore Verbinski so keep your eyes peeled for those. Rango has a voice cast which includes Johnny Depp, Isla Fisher, Bill Nighy, Ray Winstone, Timothy Olyphant, Abigail [...]
A few days ago I posted the first clip from Gore Verbinski’s animated comedy Rango, which I enjoyed, and now there’s another clip from the film which gives a good idea of the amazing visuals and a keen sense of the silliness on offer here. It’s true that Blazing Saddles had a similar gag thirty [...]
We’ve already seen a few odd trailers for Gore Verbinski’s reuniting with his Pirates leading man Johnny Depp for the animated tale of the chameleon with an identity crisis, Rango and now we have the chance to see a clip from the movie. Depp is joined by Isla Fisher, Bill Nighy, Ray Winstone, Timothy Olyphant, [...]
