Want to know more about Chris Nolan’s new epic Inception, but watched the trailer so many times you’re having Di Caprio dreams? Us too. And they’re not those kind of dreams (for the most part). Luckily, Warner Bros has OK’d the release of a short featurette, giving us a bit more insight into the making of the film.
Anne Carradine has claimed that her husband (known for roles such as Bill in Kill Bill 1/2) was neglected by the film company behind his final film; Stretch and is claming extensive damages. The actor died last June, in a hotel room in Bangkok.
Not only did the MTV awards bring us a kick-ass preview of Scott Pilgrim vs The World, it also whet our appetites for the upcoming part one of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.
Set shortly after the events of Jaume Balaguero and Paco Plaza’s nerve-shredding 2007 film, [Rec] 2 slyly uses the locations, characters and storyline from the first film as a solid foundation for a second hellish journey into a Barcelona apartment block, where a viral outbreak has apparently transformed the residents into flesh-crazed killers.
Sometimes, the world does just seem a beautiful, beautiful place. For a good few nights now we’ve been praying for just a wee bit more Scott Pilgrim to tide us over until it gets released here in the UK. And guess what? At the MTV awards they only went and showed us one! Ahhhh. Happiness.
Remakes have become the scourge of a Hollywood system starved of creativity and imagination. No sooner has a subtitled film won critical plaudits than there are whispers of an English language retread. A reinterpretation of the Swedish coming of age story Let The Right One In, directed by Matt Reeves (Cloverfield) and re-titled Let Me In, opens in multiplexes this Halloween. Now it seems that British films simply aren’t good enough for audiences across the Atlantic because director Neil LaBute has remade the 2007 comedy of errors, Death At A Funeral, transplanting the action to a middle-class suburb of Los Angeles
Sex And The City 2 has been lauded as a slight on feminism, a betrayal of a TV series that inspired a generation of women, and a diamond-encrusted step backwards for independent ladies everywhere. But it seems that the negative press has failed to affect box office power. What’s the story here, then?
We have to say, this is one piece of news we didn’t see coming. Tom Selleck – our favourite moustache with a man attached – has today confirmed that he’s tentatively signed on to a sequel to the 1990 classic Three Men And A Little Lady (itself a sequel to Three Men And A Baby), entitled Three Men And A Bride. Really? Really though?
After the mammoth critical and commercial success of No Country For Old Men, it was perhaps inevitable Hollywood would turn to Cormac McCarthy’s next book and hope the success can be repeated. But brothers Joen and Ethan Coen, who produced and directed No Country, are very special filmmakers indeed. Could The Proposition director John Hillcoat turn McCarthy’s Pulitzer Prize-winning The Road into another multi-Oscar winner?
Enter Up in the Air, the latest romance-comedy-drama from Juno director Jason Reitman, and starring perhaps the most universally idolised and desired movie star of our generation, George ‘Smooth As Silk’ Clooney. The prospect of such a dream team was always going to be a hotly anticipated one, and we’re pleased to report that this is one of those few wondrous instances of a film living up to its press.
