Movie Muser

Ever since he became famous, we’ve only known Stephen Hawking as a middle-aged man, who is relatively immobile in a wheelchair.

However the film The Theory Of Everything is going to take us back to his youth, when he was a carefree student at Cambridge, who at the age of 21 was diagnosed with motor neurone disease – along with a prognosis that he would be lucky if he lived just a few more years.

The trailer for the movie has now arrived, which you can watch below.

Here’s the official synopsis: ‘The Theory of Everything is the story of the most brilliant and celebrated physicist of our time, Stephen Hawking, and Jane Wilde the arts student he fell in love with whilst studying at Cambridge in the 1960s.

‘Little was expected from Stephen Hawking, a bright but shiftless student of cosmology, given just two years to live following the diagnosis of a fatal illness at 21 years of age. He became galvanized, however, by the love of fellow Cambridge student, Jane Wilde, and he went on to be called the successor to Einstein, as well as a husband and father to their three children. Over the course of their marriage as Stephen’s body collapsed and his academic renown soared, fault lines were exposed that tested the lineaments of their relationship and dramatically altered the course of both of their lives.

‘Professor Stephen Hawking is one of the most famous scientists of our age and author of the bestseller, “A Brief History of Time”, which has sold millions of copies world-wide.’

The film should be out in the US in November, with a January 1st UK release date set.

Dan Stevens may be the bad guy in The Guest, but boy is he looking good. Now we get to see a bit more from the movie, which is the next film from the people behind You’re Next. Take a look at the new trailer below.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Still struggling over the loss of their oldest son, Caleb, to the war in Afghanistan, the Peterson family finds some solace when an unexpected visitor knocks on its door. David, a steely eyed and charismatic soldier who was recently discharged, is welcomed into their home when he comes to fulfill a promise he made to his fallen comrade. Siblings Anna and Luke are at first reluctant to accept David’s presence, but he soon wins them over by scoring kegs for Anna’s friends and roughing up some bullies from Luke’s school. Though he appears to be the perfect houseguest, a mysterious and sinister chain of events causes Anna to question whether David is actually whom he claims to be.’

The film will screen at London’s Frightfest later this month and be in cinemas later this year.

There are plenty out there who think that without the Penguins, the Madagascar franchise wouldn’t have been the success it was (ditto Scrat in Ice Age) – DreamWorks Animation certainly thinks they’re popular, as they’ve already had animated special and a TV series, and now they’re getting a movie.

A new trailer for the film has arrived, which you can watch below.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Discover the secrets of the most entertaining and mysterious birds in the global espionage game: Skipper, Kowalski, Rico and Private now must join forces with the chic spy organization, the North Wind, led by Agent Classified (we could tell you his name, but then … you know), voiced by Benedict Cumberbatch to stop the villainous Dr. Octavius Brine, voiced by John Malkovich, from taking over the world.’

The film is due out towards the end of the year.
