Superb 2 Guns trailer

Fri, 17 May 2013 23:07:03 +0000

I’m getting really excited about the film 2 Guns, not only is Denzel Washington looking like he’s in charge and still managing to deliver style and grab the ladies, Paula Patton’s character has fallen for his, but there’s Bill Paxton in the background who is undoubtedly going to deliver the Paxisms I love to see. There’s also Mark Wahlberg looking strong as well as Edward James Olmos, Fred Ward and James Marsden and this new trailer that looks fantastic....Visit Filmstalker for the full story.

Fri, 17 May 2013 23:00:27 +0000

According to reports the Weinstein Company’s plan to create sequels to its 2000 hit Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon is actually going ahead. Marred by a lengthy legal battle and delays it looks like we’re finally seeing the project move forward with a script, two leads and a director announced. What’s more is that the article mentions sequels, and so the plans that were originally laid out to adapt more of Wang Du Lu’s Crane-Iron Pentalogy looks like it’s actually going to happen....Visit Filmstalker for the full story.

Blanchett in Mamet’s Blackbird

Fri, 17 May 2013 22:53:03 +0000

David Mamet has just cast the lead in his next film that he plans to write and direct. The film is called Blackbird, and while some of that might get your attention for a few moments it’s the plot of the film that is the most interesting part. Sold as a modern day Hitchcock style thriller it will focus on a secret regarding the assassination of President Kennedy, one that has been kept quiet all this time and hides an amazing truth, well within the confines of the fictional story that is....Visit Filmstalker for the full story.

New big Pacific Rim trailer

Fri, 17 May 2013 22:47:36 +0000

There’s a new trailer for Pacific Rim online and it’s being touted as the big one. Pacific Rim is the film from Guillermo del Toro that sees massive monsters from another realm attacking Earth and humanity fighting back with giant robots. The new trailer does give us a bit more of the story but still doesn’t reveal a lot about the reasoning for the two pilots and the idea of merging minds and memories, is this going to become a story thread or is it simply big robots fight big creatures?...Visit Filmstalker for the full story.

Butler as The Raven?

Fri, 17 May 2013 22:46:08 +0000

Today a rumour has arrived about the lead for The Raven, a film that will be developed from a short online film which to me seemed just like the PlayStation videogame Infamous. The lead being rumoured is a strong name and would suggest that the production, if the lead is signed, is going to be a big one, but then it would have to be considering the scale of the effects required....Visit Filmstalker for the full story.

Last Vegas trailer looks fantastic

Thu, 16 May 2013 09:21:43 +0000

I've just watched this promotional trailer for Last Vegas and I'm hooked. The idea of Robert De Niro, Michael Douglas, Morgan Freeman and Kevin Kline going on a bachelor party in Las Vegas is kind of appealing, and then seeing their characters starting to get into it does promise that this could be, as a wise man keeps saying, legen...wait for it…dary. The film also stars Mary Steenburgen and other comedic names such as Roger Bart and Romany Malco and is directed by Jon Turteltaub. The writers Adam Brooks and Dan Fogelman have some good comedies under their belt too....Visit Filmstalker for the full story. Restricted feeds to protect content.

New Riddick trailer reveals much more

Thu, 16 May 2013 09:21:20 +0000

Still it does look a lot like Pitch Black and while that's not a bad thing, we needed to move a little in that direction after Chronicles of Riddick, I wonder if it's gone too far, after all it does almost look identical in a lot of story beats to Pitch Black. Yet the trailer for Riddick is really good and I like it, even if I think I should be more annoyed at the similarities to the original....Visit Filmstalker for the full story.

Iron Man 3

Thu, 16 May 2013 09:20:11 +0000

I have to admit to going into Iron Man 3 not expecting to like it as much as I have the previous two in the series, the trailer had some things that just rubbed me up the wrong way - the multiple suits, the American-Chinese terrorist, I just didn't feel they were quite right and thought that perhaps Iron Man had gone a little too far into the comic realm and away from the strength of the first film. This third Iron Man film is already being touted as the last one that Robert Downey Jr. will appear in but...Visit Filmstalker for the full story. Restricted feeds to protect content.

About Time trailer, Curtis' sci-fi comedy

Wed, 15 May 2013 21:59:03 +0000

The writer and director Richard Curtis isn't often associated with science fiction, in fact not at all, he's usually more the natural and hilarious comedy that touches the heart guy, and in a way he's still doing that with his new science fiction film. About Time, which shouldn't be confused with In Time, is about a family whose men can all time travel and as the son becomes twenty-one so the father imparts the family secret on him and he begins to learn what he can do, and what he can't do....Visit Filmstalker for the full story.

Wild Bunch remake from Will Smith

Wed, 15 May 2013 21:58:33 +0000

Will Smith is apparently eyeing a remake of the classic western Wild Bunch, looking to produce and star in the film. It's not going to be a Wild Wild West version though, thankfully, it plans to modernise it and relocate it in time, following plans that Tony Scott had before Scott died. Now Smith is pushing the project forward and with him planning to star in it too, perhaps lead. What would be interesting is if he assembled an equally powerful and big name cast alongside him and deliver a film worthy of the connection with the original title The...Visit Filmstalker for the full story.

Iron Man 3 writer tackling Mission: Impossible IV

Wed, 15 May 2013 21:58:02 +0000

A writer has been found for Mission: Impossible IV and it's one of the writers from the recent Iron Man 3 film who also wrote on Pacific Rim. The scale of both films fits well with the scale required for Mission: Impossible IV but it's not all about action. It also suggests that the rumoured director might have more time to fit the film in with his own schedule, a schedule that has just grown with writing and directing duties on a remake of Ice Station Zebra....Visit Filmstalker for the full story.

Carpenter likes Dead Space for film

Wed, 15 May 2013 21:56:52 +0000

John Carpenter is sixty-five, he's a great horror director and has created some films that have captured by imagination and stay with me to this day, and he plays videogames. Is he the coolest guy about? He's been talking about some of his favourite videogames and revealed that he has a desire to make a film version of Dead Space....Visit Filmstalker for the full story.

Stalingrad trailer looks stunning

Tue, 14 May 2013 12:50:59 +0000

I hadn't appreciated just how grand the film Stalingrad was going to be but after seeing this trailer I can see it's epic and it looks glorious. The production grabs me for a number of reasons, not just because it looks so great in the trailer but because it's also a Russian and German production filmed in St. Petersburg. The film tells a much more personal story set against the brutality and scale of World War II at a time when the Russian forces are retreating from their attempt to launch a counter-offensive against the invading German army....Visit Filmstalker for the full story.

Robin Wright in fascinating The Congress trailer

Tue, 14 May 2013 12:50:18 +0000

Wow. There are two parts to this trailer, one is a fascinating and intriguing idea that seems to expose the actress Robin Wright and highlight the whole issue of ownership of one's image and self in Hollywood, and the other is a rather strange film that, well I'm not sure where it's going to go. I much prefer the first half of the trailer which hints at just how brave Robin Wright is, as well as being a fantastic actress and even more beautiful than ever....Visit Filmstalker for the full story.

Behind the Candelabra dramatic trailer

Tue, 14 May 2013 12:49:35 +0000

There's a new, more dramatic trailer for Behind the Candelabra, the last film from Steven Soderbergh which features Michael Douglas as Liberace, the amazing showman and pianist and charts his relationship with his lover Scott Thorson played by Matt Damon. While the previous trailer we saw was all glitter and smiles, this one reveals how dark the relationship turns and is a much tougher and dramatic trailer. It does look like Soderbergh is going out on a high note with Douglas and Damon set for sparkling performances....Visit Filmstalker for the full story. Restricted feeds to protect content.
