Sideways and About Schmidt director Alexander Payne has wanted to make Downsizing for a long time. It’s only now he’s managed to, with those who’ve seen it suggesting that this is Payne on a larger scale than we’ve seen before, but still with his idiosyncratic take on things.
Here’s the synopsis: ‘Downsizing imagines what might happen if, as a solution to over-population, Norwegian scientists discover how to shrink humans to five inches tall and propose a 200-year global transition from big to small. People soon realize how much further money goes in a miniaturized world, and with the promise of a better life, everyman Paul Safranek (Matt Damon) and wife Audrey (Kristen Wiig) decide to abandon their stressed lives in Omaha in order to get small and move to a new downsized community — a choice that triggers life-changing adventures.’
The movie, which stars Matt Damon, Kristen Wiig, Christoph Waltz and Jason Sudeikis, is out in the US in December, and should arrive in the UK not long afterwards. Take a look at the trailer below. [Read more…]

Things recently got a bit messy for Masterminds. The film should have come out last year, but when its production company/studio Relativity went into bankruptcy it got delayed. Then, when Relativity came out of bankruptcy, Netflix decided that due to their deal with the studio, they were going to start streaming the movie before it went to cinemas. That led to a court case where it looked like things were gonna get messy. However, that’s now been sorted out and a new trailer has arrived.
Early, work-in-progress screening of Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg’s R-rated CGI animated movie, Sausage Party, got pretty good buzz, with many suggesting it’s a smart and funny movie, which takes a sideways look at belief and religion.
