20th Century Fox has released a new trailer for the upcoming teen drama Paper Towns which you can view below!

The movie, based on the young adult novel by The Fault in Our Stars author John Green, is a coming-of-age story centering on Quentin (Nat Wolff) and his enigmatic neighbor Margo (Cara Delevingne), who loved mysteries so much she became one. After taking him on an all-night adventure through their hometown, Margo suddenly disappears – leaving behind cryptic clues for Quentin to decipher. The search leads Quentin and his quick-witted friends on an exhilarating adventure that is equal parts hilarious and moving. Ultimately, to track down Margo, Quentin must find a deeper understanding of true friendship – and true love.

Directed by Jake Schreier (Robot & Frank), the film also stars Austin Abrams (The Kings of Summer), Halston Sage (Neighbors) and Justice Smith (“The Thundermans”). The screenplay was written by Scott Neustadter and Michael H. Weber.

Director Sarah Gavron’s film starring Carey Mulligan, Helena Bonham Carter, Brendan Gleeson, Anne-Marie Duff, Ben Whishaw, Romola Garai, Natalie Press, and three-time Academy Award winner Meryl Streep, will open in limited release on October 23rd and will be in theaters across the country by Thanksgiving. Suffragette is written by Abi Morgan (The Iron Lady, The Hour) and produced by Alison Owen (Elizabeth, Temple Grandin) and Faye Ward (Jane Eyre, Dancing on the Edge).

Suffragette is a powerful drama about the women who were willing to lose everything in their fight for equality in early-20th-century Britain. The stirring story centers on Maud (played by Carey Mulligan), a working wife and mother whose life is forever changed when she is secretly recruited to join the U.K.’s growing suffragette movement. Galvanized by the outlaw fugitive Emmeline Pankhurst (Meryl Streep), Maud becomes an activist for the cause alongside women from all walks of life. Inspired by true events, Suffragette is a moving drama exploring the passion and heartbreak of those who risked all they had for women’s right to vote – their jobs, their homes, their children, and even their lives.

FOX Developing ’24’ Spin-Off

24-jack-bauer-wallpaper

TVLine is reporting that FOX is currently in development on a spin-off to the hit show “24” which would feature a new lead male character in place of Kiefer Sutherland’s extremely popular character Jack Bauer.

According to series showrunner Howard Gordon, the project would find the new male antihero working alongside an older, more seasoned female agent (not Yvonne Strahovski’s Kate Morgan, although she also may also appear). It would also launch as a limited series, similar to last year’s acclaimed 24: Live Another Day. As for Sutherland? There are no current plans for Jack Bauer to appear, but it’s entirely possible his iconic character could pop in and out on a guest-star basis.

It would seem plausible that information regarding the series would come sooner than later as FOX recently revealed its San Diego Comic-Con 2015 TV panel, but no word on if this will come to fruition. Stay tuned for more information as it becomes available.

Eddie Redmayne Cast as the Lead in ‘Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them’!

Posted on by — Leave a reply

eddie-redmayne_0

Widely rumored for quite some time now, but now official, Academy Award-winning actor Eddie Redmayne has been cast as Newt Scamander in Warner Bros. Pictures’ much-anticipated Harry Potter prequel (of sorts) Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them. The announcement was made by Greg Silverman, President of Creative Development and Worldwide Production, Warner Bros. Pictures.

“Eddie Redmayne has emerged as one of today’s most extraordinarily talented and acclaimed actors,” says Silverman. “We are thrilled to welcome him into J.K. Rowling’s Wizarding World, where we know he will deliver a remarkable performance as Newt Scamander, the central character in ‘Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them.’”

Redmayne will play Newt Scamander, a famed magizoologist and author of the Hogwarts School textbook Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them. Scamander developed an interest in magical creatures early in life, influenced by hismother’s breeding of hippogriffs. After attending, and graduating from Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Scamander joined the Ministry of Magic. After spending two years in the Office for House-Elf Relocation, Scamander joined theBeast Division and put his knowledge of magical beasts to good use. In 1918, Scamander was commissioned by Augustus Worme of Obscurus Books to writeFantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them. The book became a best seller, making Scamander a respected expert in the field of Magizoology.

J.K. Rowling is making her screenwriting debut on the film and David Yates, who directed the last four Harry Potter films, is directing. The film is being produced by David Heyman, producer of all eight of the Harry Potter films, along with J.K. Rowling, Steve Kloves, who scripted all but one of the Harry Potter films, and Lionel Wigram, who served as an executive producer on the last four installments of the franchise.

Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them opens in theaters in 3D and IMAX on November 18, 2016.

WBHOLLYWOOD-MarketingArt-FINAL_20150529_LOW REz-V19

Warner Bros. Studio Tour Hollywood is introducing a major expansion to the studio’s popular tour opening July 16, 2015, anchored by the addition of the brand new feature Stage 48: Script to Screen. The announcement was made today by Danny Kahn, Executive Director, Warner Bros. Studio Tour Hollywood.

“These new enhancements will allow our guests to go even further behind-the-scenes of the production world and enjoy an insider’s view of Hollywood in a fun, interactive way,” said Kahn. “Stage 48: Script to Screen brings a completely new dimension to the Studio Tour and offers guests an opportunity to see how their favorite movies and TV shows were made – right on the studio lot where so many of them were created.”

This innovative new addition to the Studio Tour, Stage 48: Script to Screen offers guests the unique opportunity to explore the full film and television production process – from the earliest scripts and casting sessions to the final touches in post production and the glory of awards season, each component is represented step by step throughout the purpose-built soundstage. Among Stage 48’s various interactive elements exclusive to the Studio Tour is the opportunity for guests to re-enact a scene from “Friends” right on the iconic Central Perk set. Guests will also be able to design their own Batmobiles and movie costumes while in the pre-production section. Guests will enjoy “flying” on Harry’s broomstick at the photo opportunity, which employs the same green screen technology used in the “Harry Potter” movie productions.

Additionally, the Studio Tour will feature newly enhanced elements throughout the experience, including specially recorded messages from the stars of “2 Broke Girls,” “Pretty Little Liars,” and “The Ellen DeGeneres Show,” as well as new video montages highlighting the movies and television shows filmed over the years on the studio’s backlot sets.

Warner Bros. Studio Tour Hollywood gives guests a behind-the-scenes experience like never before as they explore the sets, soundstages, and iconic locations on Warner Bros.’ legendary studio lot. Knowledgeable tour guides lead intimate groups on an unrivaled journey behind the camera, sharing stories and movie making secrets with guests along the way.

The Studio Tour also includes a rare look inside the four-story Prop Department, featuring one of the largest selections of rare antiquities and modern furniture, including drapery, lighting, and hand props from Hollywood’s golden era, and the Picture Car Vault, which showcases vehicles from all seven “Batman” movies, such as the Tumbler from “The Dark Knight” series and the Bathammer from “Batman and Robin.”

Along the way, guests explore the famous backlot locations used in some of the world’s most popular movies and television series, including Best Picture Oscar winners “Argo” and “Million Dollar Baby” and the wildly successful “Pretty Little Liars” television series, and visit working soundstages for an insider’s peek at Sheldon and Leonard’s apartment from “The Big Bang Theory” or “The Ellen DeGeneres Show’s”set.

raydonovan1

Showtime has released the season three poster art and official teaser for its critically-acclaimed and award-winning drama “Ray Donovan.”

“Ray Donovan” stars two-time Golden Globe and Emmy nominee Liev Schreiber as LA’s best professional fixer, the man called in to make the city’s celebrities, superstar athletes, and business moguls’ most complicated and combustible situations go away. Season three finds Ray adrift from his family and those closest to him, while he focuses on his business and desires to be his own boss. Meanwhile, his father Mickey (Jon Voight, in his Emmy-nominated and Golden Globe-winning role), who had narrowly escaped last season’s heist debacle, finds himself charting a similar course to build his own empire.

Joining the show this season are guest stars Ian McShane and Katie Holmes, with Elliott Gould returning. The cast also includes Paula Malcomson, Eddie Marsan, Dash Mihok, Steven Bauer, Katherine Moennig, Pooch Hall, Kerris Dorsey and Devon Bagby. A Showtime production, the series is executive produced by David Hollander, Mark Gordon and Bryan Zuriff, and created by Ann Biderman.

The series will premiere Sunday, July 12th at 9 p.m. ET/PT with 12 all new episodes.

Breaking News: ‘TRON 3’ Cancelled

Posted on by — Leave a reply

tron_legacy_hd_1080p-HD

Well this is truly disappointing news. The Hollywood Reporter is reporting that Walt Disney Pictures has decided not to move forward with TRON 3. As of late, word was spreading that both Garrett Hedlund and Olivia Wilde were preparing to reprise their respective roles as Sam Flynn and Quorra from TRON: Legacy with director Joseph Kosinski hoping to start production in the fall, but it appears their efforts to keep the project moving forward are all for naught.

Disney had been interested in adding Jared Leto to the cast, but an offer and negotiations had never commenced.

Tron Legacy grossed $172 million domestically and $400 million worldwide. The sequel to the cult classic Tron received mixed reviews. The under performance of current Disney tentpole Tomorrowland might have had some influence into Disney’s decision. The $180 million live-action film debuted with a dismal $42 million dollar opening weekend followed by an abysmal $13 million dollar second weekend.

Marvel Holds Secret Spider-Man Screen Tests on Saturday! Who Tested for the Role?!

Posted on by — Leave a reply

Spiderman

Rumors have been flying for the last couple months regarding who will be taking over the mantle for the webslinger in his upcoming debut into the Marvel Cinematic Universe with Captain America: Civil War, well word comes from The Hollywood Reporter that we now know exactly who tested this past Saturday in Atlanta!

According to the trade, both Asa Butterfield (Ender’s Game) and Tom Holland (The Impossible) tested, neither is surprising since their names have been attached to rumors for quite some time, but the site adds that the following actors also tested:

The other four hopefuls included: Judah Lewis (a relative newbie who will be seen in the Jean Marc-Vallee’s fall drama Demolition), Matthew Lintz (who will be seen with Adam Sandler in this summer’s Pixels), Charlie Plummer (who had a recurring gig on Boardwalk Empire), and Charlie Rowe (a British actor who appeared on Fox’s short-lived Red Band Society).

The tests cap off a worldwide search in which the producers looked at over 1,500 boys from around the world, narrowing them down to the final six only in the last two weeks or so. Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige, producer Amy Pascal, and Joe and Anthony Russo, the duo that is directing Captain America: Civil War, were all present for the tests.

Marvel is currently in production on Captain America: Civil War in Atlanta, where the tests were held. A decision is expected to be made early in the week.

Stay tuned!

Jeremy’s Review: Spike Lee’s “Da Sweet Blood of Jesus” a Nod to Indie Roots, But Ultimately Falls Short on Execution

Posted on by — Leave a reply

Da Sweet Blood Of Jesus bd

Spike Lee is a lot like Stanley Kubrick to me in that they are both hit or miss directors that can wow me with one film and completely lose me with another. I can’t think of two directors that can make my opinion of their work swing from liking to disliking as quickly. It’s been since Lee‘s 2002 film 25th Hour that I’ve felt he lived up to what he gave with his masterpiece Do the Right Thing. Since then, it’s been a series of misfires and almost-theres. So, when I had the chance to see Da Sweet Blood of Jesus, his remake of Bill Gunn‘s cult classic Ganja and Hess, I will admit I was curious. I had high hopes that his working independently of a studio would capture some of the lightning that was bottled back in the 90s. Unfortunately, this film fell more in the Oldboy (which was an absolute mess) camp than his He Got Game camp.

The story is as such: Dr. Hess Greene (Stephen Tyrone Williams), a foremost expert on African cultures, begins a new project with the help of a researcher Lafayette Hightower (Elvis Nolasco). After the two meet and have some in depth conversation at Hess’ beautiful Martha’s Vineyard estatel they adjourn for the evening. When an unidentified sound drags Hess out of his house, he finds Hightower wailing high in a tree with a rope around his neck, about to throw himself from the branch on which he sits and kill himself. He is clearly a troubled man and Hess does everything to convince him to keep from committing suicide and it works…for the time being. Later, after further discussing the events of the evening, Hess is convinced that this is a one time thing and that Hightower will recover. Short lived, Hess wakes up to Hightower trying to strangle him. As the two battle back and forth, Hightower grabs a recently unearthed Ashanti dagger (the Ashanti are the major culture in Ghana) and stabs Hess, killing him. Or so we think. Later, Hess wakes up, still alive and apparently well despite the wound from the dagger. However, he is a changed man with an insatiable lust for blood. When he confronts Hightower after rising from the dead, Hightower shoots himself and we see Hess lapping at the blood left behind, sealing his fate. What plays out after this is Hightower’s wife, Ganja (Zaraah Abrahams), arrives on the island looking for her husband as he owes her money. They are on the outs and she just wants to be rid of him. It’s fairly easy to tell what happens after this…Hess and Ganja fall in love, marry and Hess turns her into a bloodlusting fiend just like him. How does all of that play out…well, for that you will need to see the film.

Tonally, this film is all over the place. It plays like the original (although I will confess I’ve not seen all of it) but with a higher class level of exploitation. The film’s thematic material also runs the gamut – colonialism, race, class. The way it was filmed reminded me so much of Fassbinder‘s Whity, although there is little other reference to it in Da Sweet Blood of Jesus aside from the racial aspects, which Lee has always had a knack for transcribing to the big screen. This is where Da Sweet Blood of Jesus is most successful, even though Lee isn’t terribly subtle with some of his references (e.g. Hightower trying to hang himself in a big tree). I really enjoyed Williams in the lead role, but the acting aside was spotty at best. I also really appreciated that this film didn’t devolve into some ridiculous vampire film. No one will ever do an understated vampire film better than Jim Jarmusch‘s Only Lovers Left Alive in my opinion so Lee was wise not to tread on that territory. The eroticism that was laced  throughout was well earned and avoided the trappings that befall other bloodsucking films. I love that Lee used Kickstarter to fund this film as no studio in their right minds would have funded it. This definitely allowed Lee the license to add content that would never have been allowed otherwise. I applaud his courage for that.

As a whole, this certainly is an interesting film and I may revisit it again. This film has been very hit or very miss with little wiggle room in between with other critics. I think this film is a near miss, but perhaps my opinion of it will change after finishing Gunn‘s film in its entirety. If you are a Spike Lee fan, this is worth a watch. If you want to see some off the beaten path, then I would suggest it. It may strike your fancy where it didn’t strike mine.

Da Sweet Blood of Jesus was released this week on Blu-Ray and DVD.

Melissa’s Review: ‘I Believe In Unicorns’ beautifully/terrifyingly captures the innocent foolish decisions of a teenage girl’s first love

IBelieveInUnicorns_online_poster01

Davina (Natalia Dyer) is teetering between childhood and adulthood as she meets and falls in love with an older boy (Peter Vack). The two run away together, but her imaginative and free-spirited nature only goes so far before reality catches up.

I_Believe_in_Unicorns_publicity_still02This incredibly intimate story is writer/director Leah Meyerhoff’s first feature film and revolves around a “fictionalized version of her younger self.” Davina takes care of her mother (the director’s mother, Toni Meyeroff), and is artistic and imaginative. She has a best friend, Cassidy (Julia Garner, from the Tribeca film Grandma), but when she sees Sterling, she’s smitten.

I_Believe_in_Unicorns_publicity_still06As we follow Davina, Meyeroff uses stop motion to animate her lucid dream sequences. These sequences serve as a window into her mind as she can’t quite process what’s happening in real life. The real world backdrop, often without any score, allows you to take in the what’s happening without a filter.

I_Believe_in_Unicorns_publicity_still05Davina tries out Sterling’s world and gets lost. She doesn’t know how she’s supposed to be treated, or to act, and neither does he. The two of them learn as they go, discovering what makes each feel good as well as what really upsets them. Their short romance goes from bliss to utter disaster back to bliss in the blink of an eye. This is what someone means when they describe a relationship as, “we were too young.”

I_Believe_in_Unicorns_publicity_still09Good and bad, every experience shapes us. Davina may have lost her innocence, but she’s gained knowledge that she’ll carry with her forever. I look forward to Meyeroff’s next feature, as she has a very powerful voice.

Starts today at the IFC Center, 323 Sixth Avenue at West 3rd Street, New York, NY. Available on Vimeo June 1st.

This exploration of the emotional, complex landscape of troubled young love centers on Davina, an imaginative, strong-willed teenage girl with a beautifully twisted fantasy life. Having grown up quickly as the sole caretaker of her disabled mother, she looks for escape in a new relationship with an older boy. She’s quickly swept up into a whirlwind of romance and adventure, but Davina’s enchantment is shaken when her boyfriend’s volatile nature emerges. Official selection: SXSW Film Festival

Liz’s Review: Start your summer ‘Walking on Sunshine’

Posted on by — Leave a reply

walking on sunshineIf you’re looking for a fun-filled, musical way to jumpstart your summer but don’t want to venture out into the heat, then look no further than Walking on Sunshine. This over the top summer holiday themed film is filled to the brim with incredible choreography and some cheeky characters.

Walking on Sunshine 1Do you remember your first holiday romance? Taylor does, the only problem is her sister is now marrying him… Maddie is ecstatic she is finally getting married to her gorgeous fiancé Raf.  Her sister Taylor struggles to hold in her feelings for Raf, who is an ex-holiday flame and the love of her life.  Set on the beautiful coast of Italy, a love triangle between sisters unfolds through the hit songs of the 80’s.

Walking on Sunshine 2The film is fairly being compared to Mamma Mia. Wedding, music, shenanigans and the like. I do think that Walking On Sunshine stands on it’s own in many ways. The choreography for one, is absolutely top notch. As a musical theatre major, I know me some solid choreo, so color me impressed with each number. Turning pop songs into a cohesive story line can also be quite the challenge especially if they are all songs we love and know by heart. The way the lyrics have been utilized into the script is a home run. Where Mama Mia was successful, Walking On Sunshine also prevails.

Walking on Sunshine 3The acting is natural and just carefree enough to suit the musical genre. Leona Lewis‘s voice is certainly the immediate stand out even if her role is on the smaller side. You will definitely find yourself singing along and routing for these characters. Walking On Sunshine is the perfect film to check out on VOD with friends and family. I suggest throwing a party, breaking out the summer fair and renting this film some time soon!
