New War For The Planet Of The Apes Trailer – Caesar goes into battle for survival

By

Rise Of The Planet Of The Apes surprised many when it turned out to be a pretty good origin story. Then the franchise really upped the game with the excellent Dawn Of The Planet Of The Apes. That means the next instalment, War Of The Planet Of The Apes, has a lot to live up to. And from the evidence of this new trailer, it might be a rather dark tale.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘WAR FOR THE PLANET OF THE APES stars Andy Serkis, Woody Harrelson, Steve Zahn and Toby Kebbell and is directed by Matt Reeves.

‘In War for the Planet of the Apes, the third chapter of the critically acclaimed blockbuster franchise, Caesar and his apes are forced into a deadly conflict with an army of humans led by a ruthless Colonel. After the apes suffer unimaginable losses, Caesar wrestles with his darker instincts and begins his own mythic quest to avenge his kind. As the journey finally brings them face to face, Caesar and the Colonel are pitted against each other in an epic battle that will determine the fate of both their species and the future of the planet.

‘WAR OF THE PLANET OF THE APES is releases in UK cinemas July 2017.’ [Read more…]

The Edge Of Seventeen (DVD Review)

By

Starring: Hailee Steinfeld, Blake Jenner, Haley Lu Richardson, Kyra Sedgwick, Woody Harrelson
Directed By: Kelly Fremon Craig
Running Time: 104 mins
BBFC Certificate: 15
UK Release Date: March 27th 2017

Our Score

Nadine (Hailee Steinfeld) is a teenage girl who feels likes an outcast. She only has one friend, Krista (Hayley Lu Richardson), and has difficulty with both her perfect brother Darian (Blake Jenner) and her neurotic mother (Kyra Sedgwick). Things seem to be getting even worse when she walks in on Krista and Darian in bed, leading to a complete breakdown in her relationship with both her best friend and her brother.

As her social awkwardness and desperation intensifies – including a difficult situation involving a hot guy and a sext – she may be overlooking something good with a boy who’s interested in her, but who she doesn’t really see in a romantic light. [Read more…]

The First Han Solo Star Wars Story Cast Photo Arrives As Principal Photography Begins

By

In case anyone was wondering whether Alden Ehrenreich has the right look to be Han Solo, the first cast photo has arrived, which actually shows him to be a better ringer for a young Harrison Ford than you might expect. The pic has arrived to mark the start on principal photography on the currently untitled Han Solo Star Wars Story on February 20th at Pinewood Studios.

According to the press release, ‘The movie will explore the duo¹s adventures before the events of Star Wars: A New Hope, including their early encounters with that other card-playing rogue from a galaxy far, far away, Lando Calrissian. Phil Lord and Christopher Miller are directors co-piloting the movie, with a cast that includes Alden Ehrenreich as Han Solo, Woody Harrelson, Emilia Clarke, Donald Glover as Lando Calrissian, Thandie Newton, and Phoebe Waller-Bridge, with Joonas Suotamo as Chewbacca.

“Watching such inspired people from all over the world, with such unique voices, come together for the sole purpose of making art, is nothing short of miraculous,” Lord and Miller said. “We can’t think of anything funny to say, because we just feel really moved, and really lucky.”‘

The untitled Han Solo Star Wars Story is set for release in May, 2018.

Woody Harrelson Circling Han Solo Spin-off Movie

By

The planned Han Solo spin-off film is really coming together with Alden Ehrenreich as the younger version of the character made famous by Harrison Ford, Donald Glover as Lando Calrissian, and Emilia Clarke as the female lead (the character’s name is yet to be released). Now another name may be close to signing, as Variety says that Woody Harrelson is in early talks for the movie.

If he does end up in the movie, he will play a character described as a mentor to the young Han. As Harrelson has made a career out of playing laid back dudes, and more recently unlikely mentors in the likes of The Hunger Games and The Edge Of Seventeen, he seems a good choice to play someone who helped make Han Solo the man he was across four wildly popular movies.

Lego Movie and 21 Jump Street helmers Phil Lord and Chris Miller are set to direct the movie. It’ll be in cinemas May 2018.

Now You See Me 2 (Blu-ray Review)

By

now-you-see-me-2-slideStarring: Mark Ruffalo, Jesse Eisenberg, Lizzy Caplan, Woody Harrelson, Daniel Radcliffe
Directed By: Jon M. Chu
Running Time: 129 mins
BBFC Certificate: 12
UK Release Date: November 7th 2016 (UK)

Our Score

2013’s Now You See Me proved a far bigger hit than most people expected, which has ensured we’ve now got a follow-up. After their Robin Hood exploits in the first movie, illusionists The Horsemen have been in hiding, waiting for ‘The Eye’ to tell them what they should do next. They also have a new member, with Lizzy Caplan’s Lula joining Daniel Atlas (Jesse Eisenberg), Jack (Dave Franco) and Merritt (Woody Harrelson), along with their leader, FBI Agent Dylan Rhodes (Mark Ruffalo).

They get an assignment to take down someone who’s destroying personal privacy, but their comeback goes wrong when they’re hacked, kidnapped and taken to Macau, China. There they meet Walter Mabry (Daniel Radcliffe), who tells them that it was largely his money they stole in the first movie, and that they now have to do his bidding if they want to live.
