Ruben Fleischer’s first foray away from the comedies we’ve seen from him so far – notably Zombieland and 30:Minutes Or Less – looks set to be very impressive. Gangster Squad, previously known as The Gangster Squad, should be one of the best films of the year, with a fantastic cast that includes Ryan Gosling, Sean [...]
Ruben Fleischer’s past two films, Zombieland and 30 Minutes Or Less, have been firmly placed in the comedy genre, the former in the zombie comedy sub-genre and the latter in the action/heist comedy, and both were absolutely fantastic. With his next film, Gangster Squad (previously titled The Gangster Squad), he’s completely mixing things up, going [...]
Writer-director Alejandro González Iñárritu’s follow-up to last year’s Oscar-nominated Biutiful, which won Javier Bardem the Best Actor award at Cannes, is starting to take shape very nicely, with Deadline reporting that having finalised a deal with New Regency to fully fund The Revenant, the director has now set his eyes on Leonardo DiCaprio and Sean [...]
Robert De Niro’s name has cropped up in a couple of future titles which will be on sale next week at the American Film Market in Santa Monica, and one (at least) is a potentially interesting project. He’s down to appear in the next directorial effort from Sean Penn, entitled The Comedian. Co-starring Bridesmaids’ Kristen [...]
Warner Bros. Pictures has announced that crime-thriller The Gangster Squad will be released on October 19, 2012.

Los Angeles, 1949. Ruthless, Brooklyn-born mob king Mickey Cohen (Penn) [...]
We gave you a fair amount of rumour-laden news on Gangster Squad a while back, mostly relating to speculation on whether Darren Aronofsky would direct, following Ben Affleck passing up the opportunity. Ruben Fleischer (Zombieland, 30 Minutes Or Less) eventually settled into the chair, casting was completed (and what a cast) and shooting (presumably in [...]
Talk about The Gangster Squad has been going around for some time now, with the job of helming the project, originally entitled Tales From The Gangster Squad, being a pretty competitive and high-ranking position. It was offered to both Ben Affleck and Darren Aronofsky, who both ultimately passed it up, and then a shortlist went [...]
Emma Stone (Easy A) has signed on to co-star in Warner Bros. Pictures’ Gangster Squad. Stone will star opposite Ryan Gosling (Blue Valentine), Sean Penn (The Tree of Life), Josh Brolin (No Country for Old Men), Anthony Mackie (The Adjustment Bureau), Michael Peña (Shooter), Giovanni Ribisi (Avatar) and Holt McCallany (Fight Club) in the Ruben Fleischer-directed period crime drama. [...]
Paolo Sorrentino’s film This Must Be the Place played at Cannes earlier this year and now there’s a trailer to give us an idea of what possessed Sean Penn to go goth and wig up. Twitch have dug out the French (subtitled) trailer (via The Playlist) and if you were in any doubt how you’d [...]
The cast for Ruben Fleischer’s crime drama about the hunt for the infamous gangster Mickey Cohen has a new cast member as Deadline are reporting that Giovanni Ribisi has signed up to star in The Gangster Squad. He will play one of the team after Cohen, played here by Sean Penn, and joins Ryan Gosling [...]
To mark the release of Fair Game on DVD and Blu-ray 11th July, Entertainment One have given us five copies of the movie to give away on DVD. FAIR GAME follows the experiences of real-life CIA officer Valerie Plame (Watts; The International, Eastern Promises) and her retired ambassador husband Joe Wilson (Penn; Milk, The Assassination [...]
Here’s come a long way since playing the loving but crazed father in Malcolm in the Middle. Currently winning tons of plaudits for his role as mild mannered science teacher-turned crystal meth “cook” and dealer in TV’s Breaking Bad, Bryan Cranston is up for two roles in a couple of high-profile feature films. Variety is [...]
Following its limited theatrical release so far, word of mouth on Terrence Malick’s latest has been mixed. Some have, predictably, greatly enjoyed it, others have dismissed it as a mess. As always, Malick’s work is infused with depictions of creation in all of its beauty and this time around F/X guru Douglas Trumbull (2001, Close [...]
I often like the international versions of movie posters as they give us a completely different look and take on a movie. The Tree of Life was the one to watch at Cannes this year and after winning the Palme d’Or, it became even more so. The Tree of Life is Malick’s fifth feature-length movie [...]
Terrence Malick’s long awaited film The Tree of Life inevitably split the critics at Cannes where it took its bow and while release dates here in the UK have moved back and forwards we’re now staring down a release of the 8th of July and there is a great deal of anticipation for Malick’s film. [...]
Deadline are reporting that Terrence Malick’s The Tree of Life, which won the Palme d’Or at Cannes last month, the highest award given at Cannes, has finally got its UK release date. Mark your calendars for 8th July, everybody. It’s going to be a great day. Malick’s latest film, the first he’s made in six [...]
Watching the twitterstream flood with the first reactions of those out in Cannes to watch the first screenings of Terrence Malick’s The Tree of Life was intriuging. There was an air of inevitability as what followed was a mixture of bewlideredment and admiration, accusations of pretention clashed with those hailing it as a masterpiece and [...]
The Farrelly Brothers are currently at work on their long-in-development biopic of that much-loved comedy trio from early in the last century, The Three Stooges, and Movie Web have posted some images from the set. Where once big A-list stars like Benicio del Toro, Jim Carrey and even Sean Penn were once hovering around the [...]
On my way into The Tree Of Life I bumped into a friend of mine from New York and I asked him if he agreed that we were about to watch a marmite film? He looked at me perplexed, of course he had no more idea of what marmite was than he did a marmite [...]
Cinémoi have been proving us with loads of red carpet walks and interviews over the past few days and here’s yet another for the Terrence Malik movie, The Tree of Life. Stars of the film, Jessica Chastain, Brad Pitt and Sean Penn were all in attendance accompanied by Angelina Jolie, Gwen Stefani, Zoe Saldana, Jude [...]
