mother! Trailer – Darren Aronofsky heads into horror territory with Jennifer Lawrence

By Leave a Comment

Darren Aronofsky (Noah, Black Swan)​ likes to make unusual films, and it seems his latest, mother! will follow that trend. This time around it looks like he’s going to be trying to scare us with something intense and a little bit weird. Jennifer Lawrence certainly doesn’t look like she’s having a good time.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘A couple’s relationship is tested when uninvited guests arrive at their home, disrupting their tranquil existence. From filmmaker Darren Aronofsky (Black Swan, Requiem for a Dream), mother! stars Jennifer Lawrence, Javier Bardem, Ed Harris and Michelle Pfeiffer in this riveting psychological thriller about love, devotion and sacrifice.’

The movie is due in cinemas on September 15th. Take a look at the teaser below. [Read more…]

Michelle Pfeiffer Will Be Janet Van Dyne In Ant-Man And The Wasp

By Leave a Comment

It’s starting to feel like there’s been a long gap between Ant-Man and its planned sequel, Ant-Man And The Wasp. However, with a July 2018 release planned, they’re now moving into high gear, filling out the cast. That includes the announcement at Comic Con that Michelle Pfeiffer has signed up to play Janet Van Dyne in the movie.

She joins fellow newbies, Walton Goggins as Ghost, Laurence Fishburne as Dr. Bill Foster and Randall Park as Jimmy Woo.

Janet Van Dyne is the mother of Evengeline Lilly’s Hope Van Dyne, who in the film will become The Wasp. It’s potentially major casting news, as in the comics, Janet was the original Wasp and the first wife of the original Ant-Man Dr. Henry Pym (Michael Douglas). She’s also been a member of The Avengers, and was even their chairman for a time. It therefore means there’s potentially space to move Pfeiffer into other Marvel movies.

Take Your First Look At Kenneth Branagh’s Star-Studded Murder On The Orient Express

By Leave a Comment

While Kenneth Branagh was putting together his new filmic take on Agatha Christie’s classic Murder On The Orient Express, quite a few big-name stars came and went, including Angelina Jolie. However, he ended up with quite a cast, including Johnny Depp, Daisy Ridley, Michelle Pfeiffer, Penelope Cruz, Josh Gad, Willem Dafoe, Judi Dench, Olivia Colman, Derek Jacobi, Leslie Odom Jr., and Branagh himself and the famed Belgian detective, Hercule Poirot.

Now we’ve got out first look at the movie, via EW, which suggests plenty of 1930s glamour, while Branagh and his impressive facial hair suggest a more hard-nosed version of Poirot than we’re used to.

Christie’s novel is about a death on the world’s most famous train, when a man known as Mr. Ratchett is stabbed 12 times and killed. Hercule Poirot, who happens to be travelling on the Orient Express, starts to investigate, discovering that many people could be the culprit – which is where all the new movie’s other famous faces come in.

The movie is due out in November. Take a look at the first pics below. [Read more…]

johnny-deppFor almost a year, Kenneth Branagh has been putting together a new film version of Murder On The Orient Express, with himself in the lead role of Hercule Poirot. A few months ago he had Angelina Jolie interested in starring, but she’s since backed out.

However, he’s now got a raft of great names signing on, with the likes of Johnny Depp, Daisy Ridley, Judi Dench, Michelle Pfeiffer, and Michael Pena joining the movie, along with Lucy Boynton, Tom Bateman, Derek Jacobi, and Leslie Odom Jr.. It certainly suggests he wants to follow the lead of the star-studded 1974 version, which featured Lauren Bacall, Albert Finney, Sean Connery, Ingrid Bergman, John Gielgud, Vanessa Redgrave, Michael York and Jacqueline Bisset.

Christie’s novel is about a death on the world’s most famous train, when a man known as Mr. Ratchett is stabbed 12 times and killed.
