After being a bit of an ass about it to start with, Casey Affleck seems to have embraced the ‘is it real or not?’ controversy surrounding his supposed documentary, I’m Still Here, about Joaquin Phoenix leaving acting and trying to become a hip-hop star. Just yesterday Affleck admitted (to WENN) that while he still insists most of the film is real, a scene with Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs isn’t quite, saying “The role that (Combs) played in Joaquin’s life was to be the bearer of bad news. He was the hammer that crushed the dream. All of that is a little bit of an act.” But of course that just raises more question about the supposed reality of the movie in general. Now the scene with Combs has appeared online, so you can decide how real it appears to be. If nothing else, it sounds like Affleck had a story he wanted to tell with the film, rather than let it tell itself, and was prepared to rope in the likes of Diddy to help him do that.
Four Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps Clips – Gordon Gekko and co. are back in action
While the release date of Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps keeps shifting (it’s currently set for October 6th), it’s close enough that four new clips have been released to promote the movie, featuring Michael Douglas’s Gordon Gekko, along with Wall Street newbies Shia Labeouf and Carey Mulligan. It looks like classic dynamic, slightly OTT Oliver Stone, and well worth a watch. Emerging from a lengthy prison stint, Gordon Gekko finds himself on the outside of a world he once dominated. He now has to play catch-up and redefine himself in a different era. Gekko has to become relevant again. But a young, idealistic investment banker (LaBeouf) learns the hard way that Gekko is still a master manipulator and if theres one place where you can redefine yourself, one place where your relevance is a deal away, its Wall Street. Click below to take a look at the clips.
Hobo With A Shotgun Red Band Trailer – Rutger Hauer is really angry and taking names!
There’s little doubt that most of the interest in Hobo With A Shotgun has come from the title, and it seems the movie has no qualms about selling itself on its blood and guts exploitation credentials, with even the logo recalling the genres heyday in the 1970s. And if this definitely NSFW, over-18s-only trailer is anything to go by, it’s going to be one hell of a gory piece, with blood literally splattering the camera. As the title suggests, the movie is about a hobo (Rutger Hauer), who turns vigilante and starts blowing away the scum on the street with his trusty pump-action shotgun. No UK release date is yet set, but click below for the trailer.
