Suburbicon UK Trailer – Matt Damon stars in the George Clooney directed dark comedy

By

The bromance between Matt Damon and George Clooney continues with Suburbicon, which Damon stars in and Clooney directs. To make sure it really is a bit of a love-in, the script comes from Clooney’s O Brother Where Art Thou? and Hail Caesar directors, Joel & Ethan Coen, with contributions from George and his longtime producing partner Grant Heslov.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Suburbicon’ is a peaceful, idyllic suburban community with affordable homes and manicured lawns… the perfect place to raise a family, and in the summer of 1959, the Lodge family is doing just that. But the tranquil surface masks a disturbing reality, as husband and father Gardner Lodge (Matt Damon) must navigate the town’s dark underbelly of betrayal, deceit, and violence. Suburbicon is this Autumn’s much-anticipated dark comedy, with a fantastic cast also including Julianne Moore, Oscar Isaac and newcomer Noah Jupe.’

Oscar Isaac and Julianne Moore also star. It’s due in US cinemas in October, with a late November 24th UK date set. Take a look at the British trailer below. [Read more…]

Obi-Wan Kenobi Is Confirmed To Be Getting His Own Star Wars Movie

By

Since it was revealed that Disney/Lucasfilm planned to make a Star Wars movie every year, interspresing the continuation of the ‘main’ storyline with looks at other aspects of a galaxy far, far away, there’s been a lot of speculation about what those expanded universe will be. We’ve already had Rogue One, next year Han Solo’s getting his own spin-off, and they’re also working on Yoda and Boba Fett movies.

Now it’s been confirmed that one of the other major figures from Star Wars is getting a film made about their earlier days – Obi-Wan Kenobi. Deadline reports that it’s early days on the movie, but they’re already talking to Stephen Daldry about directing, who would then help guide the movie through the scripting and production process.

At the moment it’s not known what part of Kenobi’s life the movie might cover, although the speculation is that it will return to his very early days, possibly during his time at the Jedi academy. However, it might end up something completely different.

Daniel Craig Confirms He Will Indeed Play James Bond Again

By

He’s certainly kept Bond fans on the edge of their seat, but Daniel Craig has confirmed that he will indeed play James Bond in the upcoming 007 movie, which is currently just known as ‘Bond 25’. It puts to rest almost two years of speculation and rumour over whether he would be back or not.

Craig himself seemed to say it was the end of his tenure as Bond while promoting Spectre, with comments such as that he would “rather break this glass and slash my wrists” than play Bond again. However he and his representatives later clarified to say that he was merely talking about how he felt at that moment, following an arduous shoot and promotional schedule, and that he wasn’t ruling out a return.

Since then there have been all sorts of rumours, from suggestions he was signing on for two more movies for a record upfront payments, to reports that he was completely walking away and producers were already on the lookout for a replacement. The speculation has ramped up in recent months following the announcement of a November 2019 release date for Bond 25, which means it’s likely it’ll start shooting sometime later this year or early next.

Craig ended all the rumours on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert, when he replied to a question about whether he would be back as Bond, by saying, “Yes…I always wanted to; I wanted a break.” [Read more…]

Cate Blanchett May Join Jack Black In Eli Roth’s House With A Clock In Its Walls

By

Cate Blanchett and Jack Black aren’t the first people you’d think of for a movie directed by Eli Roth, the man behind Hostel, Cabin Fever and The Green Inferno. However, Black is already onboard his upcoming The House With A Clock In Its Walls, while Variety report Blanchett is not in talks to join him.

The film is an adaptation of John Bellairs 1973 novel, which was illustrated by Edward Gorey. It ‘tells the tale of a recently orphaned 10-year-old boy who discovers a world of hidden passageways, magic, and danger in his uncle’s old house.’

As that synopsis suggests, this is going to be different in tone the Roth’s often dark, gory and very grown-up movies. The House With A Clock In Its Walls is still in the horror wheelhouse, but Bellair’s book was written for younger readers, so it’s likely the movie will follow suit.
