Leonardo DiCaprio Signs Up For Quentin Tarantino’s Charles Manson Movie

By

Leonardo DiCaprio​ must have enjoyed his time working with Quentin Tarantino of Django Unchained, as Deadline reports that he signed on to star in the director’s upcoming Charles Manson based movie. DiCaprio has been having a self-imposed career break, as he hasn’t actually filmed a movie since The Revenant. However, with the Manson movie expected to shoot later this year, it will mark his first film since his Oscar-winning role.

Not much is known about the exact role DiCaprio will play, except that he’s an aging actor in a ‘Pulp Fiction-esque movie set in the 1969 Los Angeles during the summer of the Manson murders.’ The exacty set-up of the movie is being kept under wraps, but it is known it will deal directly with the Manson murders, as Margot Robbie has been approached to play actress Sharon Tate, the wife of director ROman Polanski, who was brutally killed while she was heavily pregnant.

Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt have also been circling the project, although it’s not known if they will sign onto the movie. The movie is due out August 2019, which will be 50 years since the Manson killings.

Ghost Stories Trailer – Martin Freeman leads the anticipated anthology of horror

By

It got good notices at the London Film Festival, and the stage production it’s based on also gained plenty of fans when it premiered on stage in Liverpool and the West in 2010 (and during another West End run in 2014/2015. A new trailer for Ghost Stories has arrived, promising a rather unusual movie.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Based on Andy Nyman and Jeremy Dyson’s original Olivier nominated stage production, the same team have co-written and directed this adaptation for the big screen.
Starring Martin Freeman, Alex Lawther, Andy Nyman, Paul Whitehouse, and Kobna Holdbrook-Smith

‘Andy Nyman also leads the cast, reprising his role as Professor Goodman alongside Paul Whitehouse (Alice in Wonderland, ‘Harry & Paul’, ‘The Fast Show’), Alex Lawther (‘Black Mirror’, Old Boys, The Imitation Game) and Martin Freeman (The Hobbit franchise, ‘Fargo’, ‘Sherlock’).

‘Phillip Goodman, professor of psychology, arch-skeptic, the one-man ‘belief buster’ – has his rationality tested to the hilt when he receives a letter apparently from beyond the grave. His mentor Charles Cameron, the ‘original’ TV parapsychologist went missing fifteen years before, presumed dead and yet now he writes to Goodman saying that the pair must meet. Cameron, it seems, is still very much alive. And he needs Goodman to find a rational explanation for three stories that have shaken Cameron to his core. As Goodman investigates, he meets three haunted people, each with a tale more frightening, uncanny and inexplicable than the last.

‘GHOST STORIES in cinemas on Friday 13th April 2018.’ [Read more…]

Teen Titans GO! To The Movies Teaser – Robin and the other young DC Comics heroes get an animated film

By

Teen Titans GO! is one of the smartest, wittiest animated shows on TV, with Warner/DC Comics allowing it to put its tongue in its cheek, be a bit silly and have fun with some classic characters. Now it’s getting a movie, which has just released its first teaser trailer.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘“Teen Titans GO! to the Movies” finds our egocentric, wildly satirical Super Heroes in their first feature film extravaganza—a fresh, gleefully clever, kid-appropriately crass and tongue-in-cheek play on the superhero genre, complete with musical numbers. It seems to the Teens that all the major superheroes out there are starring in their own movies—everyone but the Teen Titans, that is! But de facto leader Robin is determined to remedy the situation, and be seen as a star instead of a sidekick. If only they could get the hottest Hollywood film director to notice them. With a few madcap ideas and a song in their heart, the Teen Titans head to Tinsel Town, certain to pull off their dream. But when the group is radically misdirected by a seriously super villain and his maniacal plan to take over the Earth, things really go awry. The team finds their friendship and their fighting spirit failing, putting the very fate of the Teen Titans themselves on the line!

‘Will Arnett (“The LEGO® Batman Movie”) and Kristen Bell (“Frozen”) lend their voices to the first-ever big-screen version of DC Entertainment and Cartoon Network’s animated TV show, which also stars Greg Cipes (TV’s “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles”) as Beast Boy, Scott Menville (TV’s “Spider-Man”) as Robin, Khary Payton (“The Walking Dead”) as Cyborg, Tara Strong (the “My Little Pony” franchise) as Raven, and Hynden Walch (TV’s “Adventure Time with Finn & Jake”) as Starfire, reprising their roles from the series.’

Teen Titans GO! to the Movies is due out in August. [Read more…]
