New Thoroughbreds Trailer – Olivia Cooke, Anya Taylor-Joy & Anton Yelchin take on a dark comedy

By

Thoroughbreds has received some pretty good reviews as it’s played film festivals from Sundance to London, currently enjoying an 83% rating on RottenTomatoes. However, it doesn’t arrive in cinemas until March, so it’s worth getting a taste of the movie with a new trailer.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Childhood friends Lily and Amanda reconnect in suburban Connecticut after years of growing apart. Lily has turned into a polished, upper-class teenager, with a fancy boarding school on her transcript and a coveted internship on her resume; Amanda has developed a sharp wit and her own particular attitude, but all in the process of becoming a social outcast. Though they initially seem completely at odds, the pair bond over Lily’s contempt for her oppressive stepfather, Mark, and as their friendship grows, they begin to bring out one another’s most destructive tendencies. Their ambitions lead them to hire a local hustler, Tim, and take matters into their own hands to set their lives straight.’

Take a look at the new trailer below. The movie will be in cinemas next March. [Read more…]

Mary Magdalene Trailer – Rooney Mara stars as Jesus’ infamous follower

By

Who is Mary Magdalene? She’s probably best known for being a prostitute – although the problem with that is that it doesn’t actually say she was in The Bible. He lady of the night reputation came along much later. More recently Dan Brown decided she was Jesus’ wife. But who was she really?

Well, a new movie seems keen to give a different take on her, presenting her closer to be a bit of a revolutionary.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘MARY MAGDALENE is an authentic and humanistic portrait of one of the most enigmatic and misunderstood spiritual figures in history. The biblical biopic tells the story of Mary (Rooney Mara), a young woman in search of a new way of living. Constricted by the hierarchies of the day, Mary defies her traditional family to join a new social movement led by the charismatic Jesus of Nazareth (Joaquin Phoenix). She soon finds a place for herself within the movement and at the heart of a journey that will lead to Jerusalem.’

Mary Magdalene is released in the UK on March 16th 2018. Take a look at the trailer below. [Read more…]

First Official Look At Joe Manganiello As DC’s Deathstroke

By

For quite a long time there’s been talk about Deathstroke showing up in one of the DC film universe movies, with Joe Manganiello lined up to play the supervillain/antihero. [Minor Spoilers ahead] We got out first look at the Magic Mike star as Deathstroke in one of the post-credits scenes in Justice League.

The scene hinted towards a possible League Of Doom movie (partly as it also involved Lex Luthor), and there’s also a solo Deathstroke movie in development, which Gareth Evans (The Raid) is currently attached to direct. However, for those who didn’t catch the post-credits scene, Manganiello has released the first official of him in character via Instagram.

He’s certainly got the right look for the character. However, while Deathstroke is traditionally a villain, it sounds as if Warner/DC is planning a more complex antihero arc for the character. Indeed, it’ll be interesting to see if he features in the planned Suicide Squad 2. Take a look at the pics below. [Read more…]
