First Finding Dory Poster Arrives, With A Trailer Promised For Tomorrow

By

Finding-Dory-posterPixar have certainly given up on their old maxim not to many make sequels, but so far that’s only been a good thing. It also means we’re going to get to return to the ocean for Finding Dory, which has just released its first poster, with a trailer promised for tomorrow.

Ellen DeGeneres and Albert Brooks reprise the roles of Dory and Marlin, with the plot following Dory after she has a vague memory that she can’t quite work out, but realises that her parents don’t know who she is. As a result she sets off to find the Monterey Marine Life Institute, taking Nemo and Marlin with her.

The movie will arrive in cinemas next summer.

Alice Through The Looking Glass Character Posters Emerge

By

alice-through-character-poster2-slideA few days ago the first trailer for the sequel, Alice Through The Looking Glass arrived, which has now been followed by these rather cool pics, which show us four returning characters alongside Sacha Baron Cohen’s villain new character, Time.

They’re all holding a device that is central to the plot, which you can find out a little more about in the synopsis:

‘In Disney’s “Alice Through the Looking Glass,” an all-new spectacular adventure featuring the unforgettable characters from Lewis Carroll’s beloved stories, Alice returns to the whimsical world of Underland and travels back in time to save the Mad Hatter. Directed by James Bobin, who brings his own unique vision to the spectacular world Tim Burton created on screen in 2010 with “Alice in Wonderland,” the film is written by Linda Woolverton based on characters created by Lewis Carroll and produced by Joe Roth, Suzanne Todd and Jennifer Todd and Tim Burton with John G. Scotti serving as executive producer.

‘“Alice Through the Looking Glass” reunites the all-star cast from the worldwide blockbuster phenomenon, including: Johnny Depp, Anne Hathaway, Mia Wasikowska and Helena Bonham Carter along with the voices of Alan Rickman, Stephen Fry, Michael Sheen and Timothy Spall. We are also introduced to several new characters: Zanik Hightopp (Rhys Ifans), the Mad Hatter’s father and Time himself (Sacha Baron Cohen), a peculiar creature who is part human, part clock.

‘Alice Kingsleigh (Wasikowska) has spent the past few years following in her father’s footsteps and sailing the high seas. Upon her return to London, she comes across a magical looking glass and returns to the fantastical realm of Underland and her friends the White Rabbit (Sheen), Absolem (Rickman), the Cheshire Cat (Fry) and the Mad Hatter (Depp), who is not himself. The Hatter has lost his Muchness, so Mirana (Hathaway) sends Alice on a quest to borrow the Chronosphere, a metallic globe inside the chamber of the Grand Clock which powers all time. Returning to the past, she comes across friends – and enemies – at different points in their lives, and embarks on a perilous race to save the Hatter before time runs out. Presented in Digital 3D™, Real D 3D and IMAX® 3D, Disney’s “Alice Through the Looking Glass” opens in UK cinemas on May 27, 2016.’ [Read more…]

Warcraft: The Beginning Trailer – Into the fantasy world with Travis Fimmel & Ben Foster

By

warcraft-poster1-slideFrom the evidence of this trailer, Warcraft: The Beginning certainly looks like it’s going after Middle Earth’s fantasy crown. It definitely seems inspired by Peter Jackson’s Tokien movies while also doing a good job of feeling like it’s set in the world of the Warcraft computer game.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘The peaceful realm of Azeroth stands on the brink of war as its civilization faces a fearsome race of invaders: Orc warriors fleeing their dying home to colonize another. As a portal opens to connect the two worlds, one army faces destruction and the other faces extinction. From opposing sides, two heroes are set on a collision course that will decide the fate of their family, their people and their home.

‘So begins a spectacular saga of power and sacrifice in which war has many faces, and everyone fights for something.

‘Directed by Duncan Jones (Moon,Source Code) and written by Charles Leavitt and Jones, the film starring Travis Fimmel, Paula Patton, Ben Foster, Dominic Cooper, Toby Kebbell, Ben Schnetzer, Rob Kazinsky and Daniel Wu is a Legendary Pictures, Blizzard Entertainment and Atlas Entertainment production.’

It’ll be in cinemas next June. Take a look at the trailer below. [Read more…]

Chloe Moretz Will Be The Little Mermaid, With Richard Curtis Writing The Script

By

chloe-moretzIn March 2014 Sofia Coppola signed up to direct a new, live-action adaptation of The Little Mermaid for Universal and Working Title. She has since moved on but the film is alive and well, with Variety reporting that Chloe Moretz will play the title role, and Richard Curtis (Four Wedding, Love Actually) will write the script.

Not much is known about the specifics of this new take on Hans Christian Andersen’s classic story, other than the bare bones of it following a mermaid who wishes to become human after falling in love with a man she saved from drowning.

The film currently has no director, and it’s believed that Universal plans to wait until Curtis has finished his pass at the screenplay before they bring one in. As a result it’s not clear when it will shoot or when it will arrive in cinemas.

Terminator Genisys (DVD Review)

By

terminator-genisys-slideStarring: Arnold Schwarzenegger, Jai Courtney, Emilia Clarke, Jason Clarke, Dayo Okeniyi
Directed By: Alan Taylor
Running Time: 126 mins
Certificate: 12
UK Release Date: November 2nd 2015 (UK)

Our Score

Having spent $10s of millions on buying the Terminator franchise, the backers of Genisys had a lot riding on the movie. The film was planned as the first part of a new trilogy, although it seemed that was in major doubt after it only made $89 million at the US box office. However worldwide it did much better, grossing $440 million overall. As a result we’re likely to see more Terminating, even if the original plans change.

It’s both a continuation and semi-reboot, with Kyle Reese (Jai Courtney) sent back in time to 1984 to protect Sarah Connor (Emilia Clarke) from an evil Terminator (a CGI’d young Arnold Schwarzenegger), but once there it turns out events have changed since the first time we saw things, as Sarah is well aware of what’s going on, as she’s been protected by her own Terminator, which she calls Pops (a non CGI, aging Arnie), since she was a child.
