Movie Muser

Remember the days when the Batmobile actually looked like a car. Sure it was a souped up and rather impractical cars and when George Clooney drove it, it was essentially a giant black penis with a engine in it, but it was still a car damnit.

No longer, as since Batman Begins things have changed, and while the Batmobile has been redesigned for Batman V Superman, it’s still more tumbler than what Adam West used to drive around in.

Now we get out first proper official look, as Zack Snyder has released a pic, which came after various amateur set pics of it showed up on the web.

Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice is due out May 2016.

Sony is hoping that this Christmas audiences will be in the mood for a classic musical with a modern twist when they unleash their new version of Annie. Now we get to take a fresh look with the international and domestic posters for the movie, which mix a classic look with the new cast.

The music has been given a bit of an update under the eye of Jay-Z and Will Smith, although Annie will still be wondering whether the sun will come out tomorrow and having a hard luck life.

The plot also remains the same, with orphan Annie (Quvenzhane Wallis) living in the foul orphanage run by Miss Hannigan (Cameron Diaz). She’s then taken in by the filthy rich Benjamin Stacks (Jamie Foxx). In this version he’s running for office and initially just wants Annie so the press will see him being nice to an orphan. However he soon falls for the plucky youngster’s charms. But then Annie’s real parents are found, or are they?

If you need to add an extra bit of class to your movie, casting Morgan Freeman is always a good idea. Seth MacFarlane obviously agrees as Variety reports the Family Guy creator has cast the actor in a pivotal role in Ted 2.

There’s no news on the exact plot, but Freeman is being brought in to play an iconic civil rights lawyer who helps talking soft toy Ted with his legal problems.

Mark Wahlberg is also set to return John Bennett, with Amanda Seyfried playing the new female lead. Mila Kunis will also be in the movie, but she’ll apparently have a much smaller role than she did in the first film.

Production is already underway in Boston, with MacFarlane directing from a screenplay he co-wrote with Alec Sulkin and Wellesley Wild. It’s due out summer 2015.

The marketing for Hunger Games: Mockingjay has certainly been pretty cool, and it continues with the release of the final Katniss poster, where she gets to show off why she really is the Mockingjay.

The poster comes with the news that the full trailer will be here in five days time.

In Mockingjay Part 1, Revolution seems inevitable, but Katniss still isn’t sure if she wants to be the public face of it, even if the Districts do need someone to rally around.

The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1 is due out November 20th, 2014, with the final film (until an inevitable further sequel or spin-off is announced), The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 2, out the same time the following year.

Joe Carnahan may have dabbled in the world of blockbusters with The A-Team, but it looks like he’s going for something far more idiosyncratic with Stretch – at least that’s what that first pics released via the film’s Twitter account suggest.

It also gives Chris Pine the chance to find out what he would look like as a crazy-bearded man who spends all day at the gym, while Patrick Wilson gets a subtle hint about what people think of him (just see what we mean below), while Jessica Alba channels her inner nerd by following the movie rule that glasses and a ponytail = plain girl.

Wilson plays the central role of a downtrodden man who takes a job as a limo driver to pay off his gambling debts. His first client is an eccentric billionaire (Chris Pine), whose bizarre requests take a toll on the driver’s sanity throughout one crazy night.

Ed Helms, Brooklyn Decker, James Badge Dale, David Hasselhoff, Ray Liotta, and Shaun Toub are amongst the strong supporting cast.

It’s not clear when the low-budget film will hit cinemas.

Back in 2010 Reese Witherspoon revealed she wanted to go back into the world of music biopics which had served her with Walk The Line, as she started developing a movie about Peggy Lee that your also planned to star in.

It’s taken a long time, but now the film has inched forward with the news that Todd Haynes (I’m Not There, Far From Heaven) is set to direct.

Nora Ephron was previously attached to write and direct, but her death in 2014 put the project into  although the project stalled after she passed away in June 2012. Since then Doug Wright (Quills, Two Lovers) has been working on the screenplay though.

It’s not known exactly what direction the movie will take as Peggy Lee’s story doesn’t come with the usual trappings of a musical biopic, such as drug addiction and early death. However she was an incredible force in the incredibly male dominated music world, scoring no. 1s not just as a singer, but also by writing hits for other artists and becoming a mentor and inspiration to everyone from Frank Sinatra to Paul McCartney.

She also wasn’t afraid to change, starting off as a big band singer, moving through jazz, and doing covers of rock ‘n’ roll songs when they became popular. She also acted, including voicing several characters in Lady & The Tramp.
