With a career that began back in 1969, Terrence Malick has become one of the best known directors in film, despite having directed just six films in the past fifty years, well known for the gaps between his films. More recently, however, the writer-director has been beyond prolific, winning the Palme d’Or at last year’s [...]
We are literally just days away from the 3D re-release of the first film in one of cinema’s biggest franchises, Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace. Yesterday, we saw some never-before-seen images that took us behind the scenes of the film. And today, we have a great new featurette, courtesy of Yahoo Movies, [...]
There’s a lot riding on this re-release of George Lucas’s Star Wars films (now with added 3D) as this falls before the re-unleashing of James Cameron’s Titanic later in the year and all eyes will be as much on the quality of the post-conversion process as the film itself. There’s no doubt that The Phantom [...]
Becoming an increasingly well-known name both here and across the Atlantic, Tom Hiddleston will soon be returning to the big screen to reprise his role as Loki from Thor in Joss Whedon’s upcoming The Avengers. Hiddleston has been speaking to the Belfast Telegraph, via ComicBookMovie, and has said that the sequel to last year’s Thor [...]
In recent years we have seen Hollywood tap a variety of different resources in its ongoing search for new ideas. Stopping just short of sticking its hand down the side of the sofa and rummaging for loose inspiration, Tinseltown has instead chosen to adapt everything from the usual books, video games and television shows, to [...]
The first of our superhero films from Marvel this year, Thor was an impressive box office and critical success when it came out in April this year, taking just shy of $450m. from its $150m. budget. Pretty much ever since it found such success in cinemas, there’s been talk of a sequel, and it officially [...]
Surprising news from Deadline tonight as it appears that Patty Jenkins has quit as director of Thor 2. The Marvel Studios sequel is set to roll into cinemas in July of 2013 and is already in pre-production while the studio wait (as do we all) for the highly anticipated Avengers movie to bust blocks next [...]
Here’s some lovely lovely new banners from The Avengers courtesy of those lovely (did I mention lovely) people from Marvel. The Avengers is directed by Joss Whedon and after you see this trailer, you’re going to be very keen to see the completed movie when it’s released 27th April 2012. The Avengers will see many [...]
The road to making Pride and Prejudice and Zombies is proving to be a pretty difficult one to walk. Just taking a glimpse at our coverage of the film so far, and it’s easy to tell that it’s been having some trouble for a while now, both in finding its leading lady and its director. [...]
I’m not sure where Marvel are going with this. By continuing to make (relatively) left-field choices with directors for their tent-pole projects (Kenneth Branagh, Shane Black), they could be demonstrating innovative, unconventional decision making. On the other hand, they might just be picking untried (in terms of this sort of material) names at random, hoping [...]
The Avengers is the next Marvel movie that we’re all very much looking forward to after Captain America: The First Avenger. The Avengers is directed by Joss Whedon and after you see this trailer, you’re going to be very keen to see the completed movie when it’s released 27th April 2012. The Avengers will see [...]
Kenneth Branagh’s adaptation of Marvel’s Thor was released on DVD and Blu-ray last week and it’s a surprisingly fun film which did very well at the box office despite the God O’Thunder not being a hugely well known character. The DVD has a ton of these little featurettes which, when combined, form a decent behind [...]
It’s very hard to ignore the upcoming Avengers movie. There is so much excitement surrounding its release next year and there has even been some exclusive footage released on the Captain America Blu-ray/DVD. But we mustn’t forget some of the other epic comic films coming up including Thor 2, due for release in 2013. Chris [...]
Back in July, we got the news that Kenneth Branagh wouldn’t be returning to helm Thor 2 after his fantastic direction on the first film. There wasn’t any suggestion of animosity there, simply that he would be moving on to other projects. I think he did a great job with Thor this year, and probably [...]
Reviewing this box set when it is out in stores and in all probability snapped up by eager Star Wars fans seems a little unnecessary. The promise of a shiny high def transfer and the long awaited deleted scenes from the Original Trilogy conspire to tempt you to part with your cash once more, to [...]
And so it had come to this. Wearily yet with the obligatory expectation and excitement inherent in any new Star Wars film we walked into the cinema for the final chapter of the saga to find out if the years of hope, which previously had given way to disappointment, would be worth it. I sat [...]
As I found myself sitting down to watch Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones for the first time in years, a familiar feeling washed over me. I grew up with Star Wars you see; Return of the Jedi was one of the very first films I saw at the cinema and it still [...]
Over the past few months, we here at HeyUGuys have offered up a number of arguments in defense of underestimated filmmakers, their flawed films and the trends that haunt Hollywood even to this day. Never, however, has a property been more deserving of a rebuttal than George Lucas’ Star Wars prequel trilogy – an alleged [...]
Pride And Prejudice And Zombies, the parody novel of Jane Austen’s 1813 original by Seth Grahame-Smith, has found its lead actress, offering the role of Elizabeth Bennet to the rising star, Emma Stone, THR report. The role was originally to go to Natalie Portman, but Portman eventually decided that she would serve only as a [...]
Darren Aronofsky is looking to direct an epic re-telling of the story behind Noah’s Ark, entitled, Noah, Deadline reports. The project is one that he has written himself, and the script is being rewritten by John Logan, whose work is immensely impressive, including some of my favourite films: Gladiator, The Last Samurai, Sweeney Todd, and [...]
