Moana Teaser Trailer – First look at Disney’s Polynesian princess movie

By

moana-slideAfter taking us into a city of talking animals with Zootopia – which recently hit a truly impressive $1bn worldwide at the box office – Disney is heading back into the world of princesses with Moana. However, rather than a chilly fantasy like Frozen, this one is set in Polynesia. The first teaser trailer has been released, with Auli’i Cravalho’s Moana, not being impressed with Dwayne Johnson’s demi-god, Maui.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Three thousand years ago, the greatest sailors in the world voyaged across the vast South Pacific, discovering the many islands of Oceania. But then, for a millennium, their voyages stopped – and no one today knows why. From Walt Disney Animation Studios comes “Moana,” a sweeping, CG-animated adventure about a spirited teenager who sails out on a daring mission to prove herself a master wayfinder and fulfil her ancestors’ unfinished quest.

‘During her journey, she meets the once-mighty demi-god Maui (voice of Dwayne Johnson), and together, they traverse the open ocean on an action-packed voyage, encountering enormous fiery creatures and impossible odds. Directed by the renowned filmmaking team of Ron Clements and John Musker (“The Little Mermaid,” “Aladdin,” “The Princess & the Frog”), “Moana” sails into UK cinemas 2 December, 2016.’ [Read more…]

Jack Black In Talks To Join Kevin Hart & Dwayne Johnson In The Jumanji Reboot

By

jack-blackA few weeks ago it was revealed that Kevin Hart & Dwayne Johnson were in talks to start in the planned reboot of Jumanji. Now it turns out Hart isn’t the only funnyman in the mix, as TheWrap reports that Jack Black is up to play the third of the film’s five main roles.

It’s not known exactly how this reboot will handle the story, but it will still be based around the basic concept of a board game where what happens in the game also happens in real life, which causes havoc when the jungle starts to erupt into reality. However, with Johnson, Hart and Black, it may be a little more grown-up in tone than the 1995 movie.

Johnson has also been keen to point out that they intend to be respectful towards the earlier film and honour the memory of the original. Some have taken his comments to suggest this will be more sequel than complete reboot, but that’s currently unconfirmed. Jake Kasdan will direct.

Kevin Hart & Dwayne Johnson May Enter The Jumanji Remake

By

central-intelligence-slideFor a couple of years now Sony has been developing a reimagining of Jumanji, and there’s even been talk of trying to turn it into a giant interconnected franchise. Now it looks like they’re ready to move forward with the first part of their plan, as Variety reports that Kevin Hart and Dwayne Johnson are being sought by the studio for the lead roles.

It certainly doesn’t seem like it’s a done deal yet though, as both men are very busy and with Sony eyeing an autumn shoot, they will have to work out whether they can fit the movie in. There’s still not a huge amount of info on what direction this new Jumanji movie will take the movie, but with Johnson and Hart involved, it sounds like it’ll be a more broadly comic adventure. Presumably though it will still be based around the basic concept of a board game where what happens in the game also happens in real life, which causes havoc when the jungle starts to erupt into reality.

It also suggests that Sony must think Hart and Johnson make a great team, and that their work on this year’s Central Intelligence is good enough that it’s worth re-teaming them as soon as possible. However, they will have to work out the scheduling if it’s going to happen.

First Look At ‘Alpha Balls’ Dwayne Johnson & Zac Efron On The Baywatch Set

By

baywatch-dwayne-johnson-zac-efron-set-picConsidering that it often seems like Zac Efron rarely does anything with his shirt off, it’s almost miraculous that he manages to wear one in the first pic from the set the Baywatch movie – especially considering the amount the skin the TV show was known for showing. However it was The Rock who released the pic via instagram, letting us know the movie has now started shooting.

He adds, ‘#BAYWATCH Day 1. My character “Mitch Buchannon” just gave @zacefron’s character “Matt Brody” the all important beach speech about what it means to have manly “Alpha balls”. Zac’s ad-libbed responses were brilliant! Talented and great dude. World get ready to have some fun, ’cause the beach will never be the same again.’

Seth Gordon (Horrible Bosses) is directing the movie, with a 2017 release date set. Take a look at the full first look pic below. [Read more…]
