At the end of last month, we got the great news that Ellen Page would be joining rising young star Brit Marling – who seemingly can do it all, already having acting, writing, directing, and producing credits to her name – for her newest project, The East. Granted, that news unfortunately came at the cost [...]
Ellen Page (Inception) has signed on to star in The East. Page, who takes over from Felicity Jones (Albatross) after she was forced to drop out, will star alongside Brit Marling (Another Earth) and Alexander Skarsgård (Melancholia) in the indie-thriller. The East centers on a woman (Marling) who infiltrates an anarchist group known as ‘The East’. [...]
Young Adult is definitely one of the lower-budget films I’m looking forward to most next year. The film sees director Jason Reitman teaming back up with writer Diablo Cody after their incredibly successful work on Juno together in 2007, which won Cody her Oscar for Best Original Screenplay and Reitman his first nomination for Best [...]
On the surface of it, Super might sound to many almost exactly like Kick-Ass, albeit with a much lower budget. The premise of the two films does, superficially (no pun intended), sound very similar. Both films feature an ordinary guy without any powers that goes about trying to stop crime. And this similarity means that [...]
James Gunn’s Super is a dark take on the superhero genre, which asks the question – what would it take to become a real life superhero? It’s subversive, brutal and has some excellent performances from Rainn Wilson, Ellen Page and Kevin Bacon. It hits DVD and Blu-ray on the 1st of August and hey – [...]

Woody Allen’s proclivity to pepper his films with an enviable cast continues apace as Variety confirms the recent rumours that Jesse Eisenberg was to sign on to star in Allen’s next film and goes one further by announcing that Super girl Ellen Page also has a part. Alec Baldwin was already set to the Rome [...]
Although there had been much speculation as to Kapow’s surprise film involving all sorts of rumours, when darkness fell and the film began it turned out to be, as the majority had suspected, James Gunn’s Super. Here’s what we thought of the much anticipated top secret film: Not for the easily offended, Super is one [...]
One of my biggest regrets from SXSW 2011 was not seeing Rainn Wilson’s new movie, Super. The movie clashed with that of the Aint It Cool News Secret screening where the rumour was that either Captain America, Thor or Super 8 would be screened. Despite Guillermo del Toro, being there (which was indeed rather cool), [...]
Gathering buzz from its showing at SXSW James Gunn’s Super is looking very interesting indeed. Two clips, one from Twitch and the other from Coming Soon, should be just the ticket if you’re till not on board the Super train, be warned though – the second clip is all kinds of nasty, making the final [...]
