Our Score

After the end of the First World War, former soldier Tom Sherbourne (Michael Fassbender) takes a job as the keeper of an isolated lighthouse off the coast of Australia. While he’s hoping for some time alone, he’s surprised to find romance with the young Isabel (Alicia Vikander), who soon becomes his wife. Their happiness on the remote island is hampered by the fact she loses several children during pregnancy.

Fate then intervenes when a boat washes up on the shore with a dead man and a live baby in it. While Tom knows he must signal the mainland about this unexpected development, his wife realises that if they stay silent, no one is likely to question whether the child was theirs or not. After deciding to keep the baby girl, Tom accidentally discovers whose child it really is, and that there’s a grieving mother on the mainland. [Read more…]

Alicia Vikander Will Be The New Lara Croft In Tomb Raider Film Reboot

By

alicia-vikander-man-from-uncleWhile there was a lot of hype around Angelina Jolie playing video game character Lara Croft, neither 2001’s Tomb Raider, notr its 2003 follow-up, Cradle Of Life, found much love from audiences. However, Hollywood is convinced there’s a franchise in there and so has been busy planning a reboot.

Now it looks like they’ve found the person they want as the new Croft, Alicia Vikander, according to THR. It oddly mimics Jolie’s casting, as Angelina had just broken through with a critically acclaimed, Oscar-winning performance when she got the role of Lara, while Vikander has just broken through with the likes of Ex Machina and an Oscar-nominated performance in The Danish Girl.

Earlier reports suggest Star Wars: The Force Awakens’ Daisy Ridley was being eyed to star, but it appears a formal offer never materialised, while Cara Delevigne also got close to landing the role. Roar Uthuag (The Wave) is set to direct the movie, although it’s not 100% clear when it will shoot.

Jason Bourne Trailer – Matt Damon is back in action as the former secret agent

By

jason-bourne-pic1After leaving the franchise behind, it surprised many when Matt Damon and director Paul Greengrass were planning to return to the Bourne franchise. However, that’s exactly what they’ve done and now the first official trailer for the movie had arrived.

Along with the promo comes a poster as well as some comments from Greengrass, who says, “Jason Bourne isn’t a super hero; he doesn’t wear a cape or a mask. He’s not one of those kinds of guys. He is just an ordinary man. I think when people watch Jason Bourne they can imagine how they might react in those situations and those circumstances, and when you see him thinking his way through and coming up with a plan and executing his plan, that’s incredibly exciting.”

He adds, “It has taken us a long time to come back because we didn’t have the right story before. The world needed to change and then there comes that moment when it makes sense. You know when it feels right and that’s when you do it, not before.”

Alicia Vikander, Julia Stiles, Vincent Cassel and Tommy Lee Jones also star.

Jason Bourne will be released in UK cinemas July 27th. Take a look at the trailer below. [Read more…]
