New Pitch Perfect 3 Trailer – Anna Kendrick, Rebel Wilson & the Bellas are back

25th September 2017 By Tim Isaac

After the surprise success of Pitch Perfect, Universal set up the sequel on the presumption that would be it for Anna Kendrick and co., and that if there was any future in the franchise, it would be with a new generation – hence why they brought in Hailee Steinfeld. Then Pitch Perfect 2 became a huge hit, grossing $300 million, and suddenly the studio wanted a third film with the original cast – and that’s just what we’re getting.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Now graduated from college and out in the real world where it takes more than a cappella to get by, the Bellas return in Pitch Perfect 3, the next chapter in the beloved series that has taken in more than $400 million at the global box office.

‘After the highs of winning the World Championships, the Bellas find themselves split apart and discovering there aren’t job prospects for making music with your mouth. But when they get the chance to reunite for an overseas USO tour, this group of awesome nerds will come together to make some music, and some questionable decisions, one last time.

‘Anna Kendrick, Rebel Wilson, Hailee Steinfeld, Brittany Snow, Anna Camp, Hana Mae Lee, Ester Dean, Alexis Knapp, Chrissie Fit, Kelley Jakle, Shelley Regner, Elizabeth Banks and John Michael Higgins all return and are joined by additions including John Lithgow and Ruby Rose. Pitch Perfect 3 is again produced by Paul Brooks of Gold Circle Entertainment and Max Handelman & Elizabeth Banks of Brownstone Productions, and is directed by Trish Sie (Step Up All In).’

The film will be in cinemas on December 20th. [Read more…]

Anna Kendrick & Blake Lively To Star In A Simple Favor For Paul Feig

22nd June 2017 By Tim Isaac

Despite the success of the likes of Bridemaids, The Heat & Spy, Paul Feig took a lot of heat for the relative failure of last year’s Ghostbusters. However, he’s not going sticking with comedy for his next movie, as he’s planning a thriller called A SImple Favor, according to Deadline.

Anna Kendrick and Blake Lively are already in talks to star in the movie, which Feig is writing himself, based on the book of the same name by author Darcey Bell. Here’s the synopsis: ‘It starts with a simple favor—an ordinary kindness mothers do for one another. When her best friend, Emily, asks Stephanie to pick up her son Nicky after school, she happily says yes. Nicky and her son, Miles, are classmates and best friends, and the five-year-olds love being together—just like she and Emily. A widow and stay-at-home mommy blogger living in woodsy suburban Connecticut, Stephanie was lonely until she met Emily, a sophisticated PR executive whose job in Manhattan demands so much of her time.

‘But Emily doesn’t come back. She doesn’t answer calls or return texts. Stephanie knows something is terribly wrong—Emily would never leave Nicky, no matter what the police say. Terrified, she reaches out to her blog readers for help. She also reaches out to Emily’s husband, the handsome, reticent Sean, offering emotional support. It’s the least she can do for her best friend…

‘Soon, Stephanie will begin to see that nothing—not friendship, love, or even an ordinary favor—is as simple as it seems.’

The plan is to start shooting in August, for release next year.

Anna Kendrick May Be A Female Santa Claus Tale for Disney

12th January 2017 By Tim Isaac

Seeing how upset Fox News got at the suggestion you could have a black Santa Claus, they’re probably apoplectic that Disney is planning a movie about a female Santa. Variety reports that Anna Kendrick is in talks for the role.

The movie is about, ‘Santa’s daughter who is forced to take over the family business when her father decides to retire and brother ends up getting cold feet prior to his first big Christmas Eve flight.’

Miss Congeniality writer Marc Lawrence penned the script and will also direct. Hopefully it will work out better than his last movie, the abysmal Hugh Grant/Marisa Tomei movie, The Rewrite. It’s not known when the female Santa movie – which currently has the working title Nicole – will go into production.

New The Accountant Trailer – Ben Affleck & Anna Kendrick do some number crunching

28th July 2016 By Tim Isaac

The-Accountant-slideBen Affleck has certainly made impressive turn-around. A few years ago his career seemed in danger of becoming a punchline, but since then he’s become an Oscar-winning director, turned in some really good performances and even convinced many who’d given him no chance that he could be a good Batman.

Now he’s returning with The Accountant.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Christian Wolff (Affleck) is a math savant with more affinity for numbers than people. Behind the cover of a small-town CPA office, he works as a freelance accountant for some of the world’s most dangerous criminal organizations. With the Treasury Department’s Crime Enforcement Division, run by Ray King (J.K. Simmons), starting to close in, Christian takes on a legitimate client: a state-of- the- art robotics company where an accounting clerk (Anna Kendrick) has discovered a discrepancy involving millions of dollars. But as Christian uncooks the books and gets closer to the truth, it is the body count that starts to rise.’

The Accountant will be in UK cinemas on November 4th, 2016. Take a look at the trailer below. [Read more…]
