UK Movie / Film Blog for News / Reviews
We didn’t post an article on it but a couple of weeks ago, there was a big hoo-hah from various leprosy groups including Lepra Health In Action and the International Federation of Anti-Leprosy Associations (ILEP) who complained about a specific scene in Sony / Aardman’s new movie, The Pirates: In an Adventure with Scientists or [...]
In the UK, Sony / Aardman’s new movie is called The Pirates! In an Adventure with Scientists yet over the pond, it has the title, The Pirates! Band of Misfits and the US Sony marketing team have released this, the fourth poster for the film which is one of my most anticipated of 2012. I [...]
The Wachowski brothers and Tom Tykwer’s adaptation of David Mitchell’s novel, Cloud Atlas, is set to be one of the most intriguing films to look forward to next year. With a notoriously labyrinthine plot, the possibility of adapting it for the big screen sounds as though it is a mammoth task not to be taken [...]
Posed like a Christmas card from that family down the street no one really likes to make eye contact with, Empire have got their grubby little mitts on the first official image from the people behind the film adaptation of David Mitchell’s Cloud Atlas. It all looks rather perplexing. Now as someone who knows nothing [...]
I always had the idea in my head that Aardman was the British version of the Disney owned Pixar Animation Studios; the main idea being that the place is a hive of activity and now, after having the privilege of visiting both studios, I can confirm that I was 100% right! A couple of weeks [...]
We’ve already had a new trailer for Pixar’s Brave today and now the mighty Aardman have unveiled another look at their forthcoming film The Pirates! Band of Misfits (or The Pirates! In an adventure with Scientists if you’re hailing from the good old U of, um, K…) and it’s just wonderful. Dave was lucky enough [...]
After two previous cracking trailers for Aarman’s (The creators of Wallace and Gromit) new animation, Pirates! An Adventure with Scientists, they’ve released another third new trailer this morning and it’s just as good as the previous couple. The cast is rather awesome (includes Hugh Grant, David Tennant, Imelda Staunton, Martin Freeman, Jeremy Piven) while Peter Lord [...]
We’ve been posting news and updates for the best part of a year on Cloud Atlas, the seemingly epic collaboration between Matrix-mongers The Wachowskis and Tom Tykwer (Run, Lola, Run and Perfume), the latest of which confirmed that Hugh Grant was joining the cast, which I don’t think many saw coming. Well, multiple plot strands [...]
Hugh Grant (About a Boy) has been added to the cast of Cloud Atlas, the bold cinematic adaptation of David Mitchell’s novel of the same name. Grant, who has been somewhat absent from the screen since 2009′s Did You Hear About The Morgans, will star opposite Tom Hanks, Jim Broadbent, Halle Berry, Susan Sarandon, Ben Whishaw, Bae [...]
For the the first time in three days I find myself at my desk and not in the O2 flanked by my friends and colleagues waiting for the onslaught of dozen montages of future films to blind my senses while I liveblog events like a man possessed. Instead we’re taking a moment to reflect on [...]
Quite frankly, the UK version of The Pirates! In an Adventure with Scientists trailer is probably my favourite of the year so far. I love it! I must have watched it about 15 times now and I shall continue to watch it until I see the completed film. The title in the US is slightly [...]
Man, what a crazy 60 minutes. I put up what I thought was the first trailer for Aardman’s new movie, The Pirates! In an Adventure with Scientists only to discover that the US version is nowhere near as good as the UK one! Sony / Aardman have released the UK trailer which even better than [...]
Update: The trailer below is good but the UK one which came out 30 minutes after this one is even better! – Watch here Last night I put up the first poster for Aardman’s new collaborative project with Sony Pictures, called (in the US) The Pirates! Band of Misfits and in the UK The Pirates! [...]
Sony Pictures / Aardman Animation Studios have just sent over the first poster for their new movie, with the most bizarre title ever, ‘The Pirates! In an Adventure with Scientists’. The movie stars Hugh Grant, David Tennant, Imelda Staunton, Martin Freeman, Jeremy Piven and is based on the book ‘Pirates: in an Adventure with Scientists’ [...]
Hugh Grant joins the animation voice actor set with the announcement of his casting as a Pirate Captain in Aardman Animation’s next big screen adventure entitled The Pirates! In an Adventure with Scientists. Grant joins an impressive cast which has Martin Freeman, Jeremy Piven, Salma Hayek, Imelda Staunton and David Tennant amongst its merry band. [...]
Harrison Ford puts down his whip and exchanges it for a mic and a serious bad attitude to star alongside Sherlock Holmes squeeze Rachel McAdams and Diane Keaton (no stranger to this genre) for newsroom comedy Morning Glory. McAdams is a young, spirited TV producer Becky Fuller, who we first witness being let go from [...]
British director Tom Harper has been tapped to helm a new film project from Working Title called Lost For Words. Harper was responsible for 2009′s The Scouting Book for Boys and has just finished duties on Channel 4′s This Is England ’86, a TV sequel to Shane Meadows’ This Is England. Synopsis: Lost For Words [...]
While the rom com addicts are busying themselves with another date with the Sex and the City girls I’ve been lucky enough to spend a couple of hours in the company of one of the SATC girls and the ubiquitous Englishman abroad Hugh Grant as I sit down with Marc Lawrence’s Did You Hear About [...]
Like many others I was hugely impressed with Carey Mulligan in An Education, and her roster of forthcoming films is looking pretty good with prominent roles in Mark Romanek’s adaptation of Kazuo Ishiguro’s Never Let Me Go and Oliver Stone’s Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps, both out this year. Now there’s a new film on [...]
It’s nice to see a romantic comedy full of clichés with a predictable end for a change! In the current times of economic instability – there are more and more films with no happy endings. “Did you hear about the Morgans?” is not like that – it’s so predictable that you feel like you may [...]
