New Atomic Blonde Trailer – Take a fresh look at Charlize Theron’s special agent baddass

By

This summer Charlize Theron will once more be proving that she can kick ass with the best of them. Now a new trailer has arrived to give us a fresh look at the graphic novel inspired movie.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘The crown jewel of Her Majesty’s Secret Intelligence Service, Agent Lorraine Broughton (Oscar® winner Charlize Theron) is equal parts spycraft, sensuality and savagery, willing to deploy any of her skills to stay alive on her impossible mission. Sent alone into Berlin to deliver a priceless dossier out of the destabilized city, she partners with embedded station chief David Percival (James McAvoy) to navigate her way through the deadliest game of spies.

‘A blistering blend of sleek action, gritty sexuality and dazzling style, ATOMIC BLONDE is directed by David Leitch (John Wick, upcoming Deadpool 2). Also starring John Goodman, Til Schweiger, Eddie Marsan, Sofia Boutella and Toby Jones, the film is based on the Oni Press graphic novel “The Coldest City,” by Antony Johnston & illustrator Sam Hart. Kurt Johnstad (300) wrote the screenplay.’

Atomic Blonde is due out in August. [Read more…]

Thor: Ragnarok Trailer – Chris Hemsworth has a new haircut & is battling Cate Blanchett

By

It looks like there’s gonna be a bit of a change for the third Thor movie, with more of a Guardians Of The Galaxy feel, rather than the rather po-faced previous adventures. That includes the destruction of Asgard, as well as Thor’s infamous hammer, and the demigod getting a brand new hairdo.

It certainly looks like it could be a lot of fun, with a goth Cate Blanchett causing trouble, and Thor having to face Hulk in hand-to-hand combat.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘In Marvel Studios’ “Thor: Ragnarok,” Thor is imprisoned on the other side of the universe without his mighty hammer and finds himself in a race against time to get back to Asgard to stop Ragnarok—the destruction of his homeworld and the end of Asgardian civilization—at the hands of an all-powerful new threat, the ruthless Hela. But first he must survive a deadly gladiatorial contest that pits him against his former ally and fellow Avenger—the Incredible Hulk! “Thor: Ragnarok” thunders into UK Cinemas this October.’

Take a look at the new trailer and poster below. [Read more…]

Christian Bale, Steve Carell & Amy Adams In Talks For Adam McKay’s Dick Cheney Movie

By

Adam McKay​ is best known for directing Will Ferrell in films like Stebrothers, Anchorman and The Other Guys. However, as he showed with The Big Short (for which he won a writing Oscar), he also has more serious interests. That’s resulted in him working on a movie about the former US Vice President (under George W. Bush), Dick Cheney.

Now that film is casting, with THR reporting that Christian Bale, Steve Carell and Amy Adams are all in early talks to star in the movie. If it all comes together, Bale would play ‘Cheney, who was an ardent supporter of strong anti-terrorist actions and a key supporter of the Iraq War. Cheney also is the former CEO of the multinational corporation Halliburton. Carell is circling the role of Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld. Adams would play Cheney’s wife, Lynne Cheney.’

There’s little further info on the movie, such as whether it will cover much of Cheney’s life, or solely cover a particular period in his life. He’s an intriguing figure, seen by some as the real President during George W. Bush’s tenure, by some as a war criminal, and by others as a rather inept person (mostly due to an incident where he accidentally shot a friend in the face during a hunting trip). It’s now clear when the biopic might start shooting.

Michael Keaton May Be Getting Villainous In Tim Burton’s Dumbo

By

Although it still doesn’t have a confirmed release date, Disney is fast putting together the cast for it’s planned, live-action take on Dumbo. Production has been pushed back a month, but Danny DeVito, Eva Green and Colin Farrell are all onboard, and now they may be joined by Michael Keaton, according to Variety.

The plot of the film will revolve both around the baby elephant with enormous ears, as well as some children that befriend him. Farrell is set to play their father. Keaton’s role would see him as the man who buys the circus from Danny DeVito, so that he can exploit the little elephant and his mother.

It will be the first time director Tim Burton has worked with Keaton since Batman Returns in 1992, so it’s certainly an overdue reunion. Ehren Kruger wrote the script for the film, which is expected in cinemas either late 2018 or early 2019.

Colin Farrell Joining Viola Davis In Steve McQueen’s Widows

By

Colin Farrell is certainly filling up his dance card, as he recently signed on to star in Disney’s live-action Dumbo movie, and now he’s also set to join Viola Davis in Steve McQueen’s Widows, according to Variety. The film will be the director’s first film since his Oscar-winning 12 Years A Slave.

The film is based on Lyda La Plante’s acclaimed 1983 British miniseries ‘about a caper gone wrong, the story follows four armed robbers who are killed in a failed heist attempt, leaving their widows to finish the job.’ Farrell will play a politician who gets mixed up in the criminality.

As well as Viola Davis and Colin Farrell, Liam Neeson, Elizabeth Debicki, Cynthia Erivo, Michelle Rodriguez, Daniel Kaluuya, and Andre Holland are set to star. Gone Girl author Gillian Flynn is set to pen the screenplay. The movie is due to start shooting fairly soon, with Farrell slotting it in before Tim Burton’s Dumbo.
