Virginia (or Whats Wrong With Virginia? as it was initially titled) debuted with mixed-to-bad reviews at the Toronto Film Festival a few months ago, but Dustin Lance Blacks directorial debut still seems like itll be worth a look. Its out on the US in May and should reach the UK later this year. Black is, of course, best known as the screenwriter of Milk and J. Edgar, but here thing are less historical and more satirical. In the film, a sheriff (Ed Harris) sees his state senate bid slide onto the ice when his daughter begins to date the son of a charming but psychologically disturbed woman (Jennifer Connelly) with whom the sheriff has engaged in a two-decades-long affair. Some have commented that the trailer seems deceptive, as the film they saw plays out more tragic than the comic tone of the promo, However it has been completely re-edited since its TIFF debut, due to some of the severe criticism it came in for. Hopefully Dustin will have sorted things out, as the trailer does make the movie look decent enough.
Your Sister’s Sister Trailer – Mark Duplass and Emily Blunt get bittersweet
A year after his brother Tom’s death, Jack (Mark Duplass) is an emotionally unstable slacker. When he makes a scene at a memorial party, Tom’s ex-girlfriend Iris (Emily Blunt) offers up her family cabin on an island in the Pacific Northwest so Jack can seek catharsis in solitude. Once there, however, he runs into Iris’ sister Hannah (Rosemarie DeWitt), a lesbian reeling from the abrupt end of a seven-year relationship who finds solace in the affable Tom’s unexpected presence, and the two bond over a long night of drinking. The blurry evening concludes with an awkward sexual incident made worse by Iris’ sudden presence at the cabin the next morning, which sets into motion a twisted tale of ever-complicated relationships. The film hits the UK on June 29th.
New Full Cosmopolis Trailer – Robert Pattinson wants a haircut but gets much more in Cronenberg’s movie
There were a lot of raised eyebrows when David Cronenberg cast Robert Pattinson in Cosmopolis, largely because it seemed such a jump from the world of Twilight. However as people started to charge their mind when the teaser trailer debuted, and this new French trailer is likely to further convince people this will show a different side to Pattinson and it’s likely to be intense! The film, based on Don DeLillo’s book, sees R-Patz as young billionaire Eric Packer, who starts out just wanting to get a haircut, but as the day progresses and he travel around New York, he must deal with the fallout from the decisions he’s made in his life. Cosmopolis will compete at Cannes in May should be out in cinemas later this year and it look like it’s gonna be rather unusual.
Skyfall Shanghai Set Video – Get the latest from the new Bond adventure
It wouldn’t be Bond if the production didn’t jet all over the world (although always coming back to its UK base, of course), and Skyfall is doing just that, with a new set video just released from the film’s Shanghai location shoot. The movie will hit cinemas on October 26th, but whet your appetite with the latest behind the scene look.
Magic Mike Trailer – Tatum, Pettyfer, Bomer and McConaughey get their stripper on!
I think it’s safe to say that a lot of women and gay men are looking forward to Magic Mike, if only because Channing Tatum, Alex Pettyfer, Matthew Bomer, Matthew McConaughey and more play strippers! The trailer suggests there’s some sort of romance type plot too, but I don’t think anyone actually cares about that, or that much admired director Steven Soderbergh is behind the camera. Nope, they just want the buff blokes to get their kit off! Partly based on Tatum’s experiences as a young male stripper, the film sees him mentoring a newbie (Pettyfer) and apparently having romantic problems. The film hits UK cinemas July 13th.
Prometheus Viral – Happy Birthday David – Take a look at Michael Fassbender’s artificial human
Fox must be spending a fortune promoting Prometheus, although as the poster below shows, they’re getting a bit of help from product placement, in this case Prometheus. However there’s still a lot of cash involved, as while most virals are just helped my a bit of cheap marketing and word of mouth, Fox has actually taken out newspaper adverts in the US to point people towards their viral efforts for David, Michael Fassbender’s artificial human. Ridley Scott’s semi-Alien prequel hits cinemas June 1st, but take a look below for the new poster and ace viral vid.
