New The Danish Girl Trailer – Eddie Redmayne is transgender pioneer Lili Elbe

By


In The Danish Girl, Eddie Redmayne stars as Lili Elbe, who became one of the first women to undergo sex-reassignment surgery way back in the early 1930s.

Here’s the official synopsis: ‘Based on the book by David Ebershoff, The Danish Girl is the remarkable love story inspired by the lives of Lili Elbe and Gerda Wegener (portrayed by Academy Award winner Eddie Redmayne [The Theory of Everything] and Alicia Vikander [Ex Machina]), and directed by Academy Award winner Tom Hooper (The King’s Speech, Les Misérables). Lili and Gerda’s marriage and work evolve as they navigate Lili’s groundbreaking journey as a transgender pioneer.’

That doesn’t give a lot of detail, but at film will chart the journey of the person who started out asDanish painter Einar Wegener (Redmayne), and his wife, Gerda. In 1931 Einar is thought to have become the first person in the world to have a sex-change operation, when she became Lili. It’s believed the journey started – at least openly – after Gerda asked Einar to stand in for a female subject that Gerda was supposed to paint. The painting became incredibly popular and Lili began to express who she truly was.

The movie will hit UK cinemas onNew Year’s Day 2016, which will ensure it’s ripe for a major awards run.

New Kill Your Friends Trailer – Nicholas Hoult takes the music business to murderous levels

By


Nicholas Hoult leaves zombies, mutants and Mad Max behind for a while to head into the music business with the upcoming Kill Your Friends, which has release a new trailer.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘When the road to success is littered with losers and even your closest colleagues are desperate for you to fail, what would you do to make it to the top?

‘London, 1997; the British music industry is on a winning streak. Britpop bands Blur, Oasis, Radiohead rule the airwaves and Cool Britannia is in full swing. 27-year-old hit chasing A&R man Steven Stelfox (Nicholas Hoult) is slashing and burning his way through the music business, a world where ‘no one knows anything’ and where careers are made and broken by chance and the fickle tastes of the general public – “Yeah, those animals”.

‘Fuelled by greed, ambition and inhuman quantities of drugs, Stelfox searches for his next hit record amid a relentless orgy of self-gratification. Created by an industry that demands success at any price, as the hits dry up and the industry begins to change, Stelfox takes the concept of ‘killer tunes’ to a murderous new level in a desperate attempt to salvage his career.

‘Kill Your Friends is a dark, satirical and hysterically funny evisceration of the Nineties music business. A time and place populated by frauds, charlatans and bluffers; where ambition is a higher currency than talent, and where it seems anything can be achieved – as long as you want it badly enough.’

Kill Your Friends will be in UK cinemas on November 6th.

Ratchet & Clank Trailer – The videogame turns animated movie

By


Turning videogames into movies doesn’t exactly have a great history, but when it’s an animated movie, there’s a chance it’ll be okay – although that fact it’s an independent production should give us a little pause.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘A CG-animated movie based on the iconic PlayStation video game. Two unlikely heroes struggle to stop a vile alien named Chairman Drek from destroying every planet in the Solana Galaxy. Ratchet is the last of his kind, a foolhardy “lombax” who has grown up alone on a backwater planet with no family of his own. Clank is a pint-sized robot with more brains than brawn. When the two stumble upon a dangerous weapon capable of destroying entire planets, they must join forces with a team of colorful heroes called The Galactic Rangers in order to save the galaxy. Along the way, they will learn about heroism, friendship, and the importance of discovering one’s own identity.’

The film will be in cinemas early next year.

New Paranormal Activity: The Ghost Dimension Trailer – The found footage creepiness is back

By


The Paranormal Activity franchise is returning with what’s promised as the final instalment (for now at least), which suggestions it’ll clear up some of the mysteries from the earlier movies.

Here’s the very brief synopsis: ‘For the first time, see the unseen in Paranormal Activity: The Ghost Dimension – the horrifying conclusion to the Paranormal Activity films.’

Producer Jason Blumhouse has added, ‘It’s coming to an end. This is it, the finale. We’re saying it before the movie opens. We’re not going to grind this horror franchise into the ground, this will keep Paranormal Activity as part of this culture and this particular time in a really fantastic way… All the questions that everyone has asked from the past Paranormal Activity films: What does Toby look like? What’s the backstory to the families? These questions have been teased out. Now they will be answered.’

The film’s in cinemas on October 21st.

The Hulk Will Show Up In Thor: Ragnarok – Mark Ruffalo will return

By

While Marvel still seems reticent to give Mark Ruffalo’s Hulk a movie of his own, they are at least making a little more use of him, as after the two Avengers movies, he’s now due to show up in Thor: Ragnarok, according to Variety.

It’s not certain how he’ll fit into the movie, but we wouldn’t be surprised if Chris Hemsworth’s Thor calls on The Hulk’s help, as if you’ve taking something powerful, he’s a handy (green) person to have around. However Variety does add that ‘the film will take place somewhere other than Earth and Asgard’, which suggests we’ll get to see more on the nine realms.

Tom Hiddleston and Jaimie Alexander are also set to return (with Hiddleston suggesting this may be his last outing as Loki), with Taika Waititi. Shooting will lick off next year for release in 2017.
