Timothee Chalamet really has come out of nowhere in the last year, scoring an Oscar nomination for Call Me By Your Name, whilst also appearing in the much praised Lady Bird and alongside Christian Bale in Hostiles. Now he’s taking the lead in a romantic thriller, although some will be sad the romance isn’t with Armie Hammer this time.
Here’s the synopsis: ‘Set in Cape Cod over one scorching summer, Hot Summer Nights follows Daniel (Timothée Chalamet), a shy out-of-towner who gets in over his head flipping weed with the neighborhood rebel (Alex Roe) while pursuing his new business partner’s enigmatic sister (Maika Monroe). With a hurricane looming in the wings, tensions rise against a backdrop of drive-ins, arcades, and crashed parties as the stakes (and temperatures) grow ever higher.’
Hot Summer Nights arrives in the US in June. It’s not clear when it will arrive in the UK. Take a look at the trailer below. [Read more…]
It’s four years since Jim Carrey took the lead in a movie, and he’s decided that for his return he should try something rather different. Gone is the zany comedy to be replaced by a grey beard and a serious murder mystery.
Synopsis: ‘In the hip Brooklyn neighborhood of Red Hook, single dad and record store owner Frank (Nick Offerman) is preparing to send his hard-working daughter Sam (Kiersey Clemons) off to college, while being forced to close his vintage shop. Hoping to stay connected through their shared musical passions, Frank urges Sam to turn their weekly “jam sesh” into a father-daughter live act.
Synopsis: ‘A woman sets out to reclaim her life in this stirring, emotionally rich look at what it means to start over. Tara (Gemma Arterton), a housewife in suburban London, is living a life that is no longer hers: it belongs to her overworked, self-absorbed husband (Dominic Cooper); her young son and daughter; and the numbing routine of housework and childcare.
After an extremely muted response to the first trailer for Solo: A Star Wars Story, there was a lot riding on this new promo for the film about the early days of the iconic Han Solo. This one certainly makes things look at lot more entertaining and suggests Alden Ehrenreich might be a better Harrison Ford replacement that the previous trailer did.
The Meg may be one of the worst film titles around (and even worse than the book it’s based on, which was simply titled ‘Meg’), but the movie might prove to be guilty pleasure fun. It’s basically Jaws on steroids but with its tongue slightly in its cheek.
