Before Bronson and Drive, director Nicholas Winding Refn first made his name with him 1996 Danish movie, Pusher. 16 years on it’s getting a Brit flick remake, with Richard Coyle playing a drug pusher who grows increasingly desperate after a botched deal leaves him with a large debt to a ruthless drug lord. While redos aren’t usually that great, there’s cause for hope as Refn himself has helped shepherd the movie as a producer. The film also features Bronson Webb, Paul Kaye and Agyness Deyn and will hit UK cinema screens in May.

It’s just a few short weeks until John Carter hits cinemas on March 9th, and now a short but fairly informative featurette has popped up online to give us a bit of an intro to the movie for those who aren’t clued into Edgar Rice Burrough’s classic characters. It certainly looks like filmmakering on a massive scale, but whether Andrew Stanton has managed to make this year’s first true blockbuster is yet to be seen.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘John Carter tells the tale of war-weary, former military captain John Carter, who is inexplicably transported to Mars where he becomes reluctantly involved in a conflict of epic proportions between the inhabitants of the planet. John Carter – the newest movie from Academy Award®–winning filmmaker Andrew Stanton is an action adventure story set on Barsoom, the exotic and mysterious planet we know as Mars. Based on the classic novel by Edgar Rice Burroughs, creator of Tarzan, John Carter is the story which inspired many of the most imaginative and well known Hollywood movies, past and present. Next year will mark the 100th anniversary of the John Carter character, first created in the Edgar Rice Burroughs novel.’

You can keep Joan Rivers and the others who normally line up on a red carpet to interview stars, as last night’s BAFTAs had Miss Piggy! Now her pre-show interviews with the likes of Jon Hamm, Gary Oldman, Michael Fassbender and Daniel Radcliffe on online, and you can watch them here.

I think it’s fair to say the assumption has been that Timur Bekmambetov’s Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter would just be a little bit of fluffy, mid-scale summer fun, but now the first teaser trailer is here and it shows the film may be a bit more epic than anyone expected. But then, as Bekmambetov owns his own effects studio, it’s perhaps not surprising it looks pretty spectacular.

Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter reimagines the American president as an axe-wielding, highly trained vampire hunter. Seth Grahame-Smith’s book, on which the movie will be based, gives new context to Lincoln’s rise to the presidency as well as the American Civil War (which was fought because the vampires were in league with the slave owners), suggesting these events were a lot more paranormal than history tells us, and stemmed from Lincoln’s mother’s murder by a vampire when he was a child.

Dexter Fletcher has been acting since he was a little kid – he made his debut in Bugsy Malone at the age of 10 – and having worked with the likes of Alan Parker, David Lynch, Derek Jarman, Michael Winterbottom and Guy Ritchie, he’s probably picked up a few tips on how to direct. He’s now set to make his directorial debut with Wild Bill, which certainly looks from this trailer as if Dexter’s chanelling early Guy Ritchie.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Out on parole after 8 years inside, Bill Hayward returns home to find his now 11 and 15-year old sons abandoned by their mother and fending for themselves. Unwilling to play Dad, his arrival brings them to the attention of social services. With the danger of being put into care looming, Dean forces his Dad to stay by threatening to grass him up for dealing. Dean soon connects with Jimmy and through this new bond starts to realize what he’s been missing. He has a family and a place in the world, but when Jimmy gets into trouble with Bill’s old cohorts, he quickly has to decide what kind of Dad he wants to be. A good one, or a free one.’ It hits UK cinemas on March 30th.

Oh no, it’s the end of the world, but it seems that Seeking a Friend for the End of the World will be a more humorous take of facing oblivion than you might expect. Steve Carell and Keira Knightley star in the comedy, which marks the feature directorial debut of screenwriter Lorene Scafaria. Set in a too-near future, the movie explores what people will do when humanity’s last days are at hand. As the respective journeys of Dodge (Carell) and Penny (Knightley) converge (continuing Hollywood’s love of older men with younger women), the two spark to each other and their outlooks – if not the world’s – brighten. Take a look at the trailer and brand new poster! It hits UK cinemas on July 13th.
