Following a troubled production with widely reported rewrites and reshoots, Marc Forster’s World War Z is finally on its way and the first trailer has now arrived. Loosely based on Max Brooks’ cult novel, the film stars Brad Pitt as a United Nations employee who is forced to leave his wife (Mirielle Enos) and children in a …
Ben Affleck’s third film Argo finds the actor-director leaving his comfort zone and excelling, moving on from solid crime thrillers set in his native Boston — 2007′s Gone Baby Gone and 2010′s The Town – to a riveting political thriller which vividly recreates an outrageous and little-known CIA rescue operation that took place behind-the-scenes of the Iranian hostage crisis and …
AMC’s brilliant crime drama Breaking Bad is set to return for the first half of its final season next week, on July 15. The fourth season ended with two of the show’s most intense episodes so far, and I can’t wait to see what creator Vince Gilligan has in store for Walter White (Bryan Cranston) now that …
A second theatrical trailer for Len Wiseman’s update of Total Recall has been released, and this one shows off the film’s supersize budget even more than the last with a series of relentless action scenes. For those in need of a quick refresher: Total Recall is a new sci-fi/action adaptation of Philip K. Dick’s 1966 novelette We Can Remember it for …
Disney’s John Carter is a mess right from the outset, and I’m not referring to the company’s botched marketing campaign. Opening with a dull, expository voiceover which explains that Mars aka “Barsoom” is indeed inhabited, the film is quickly bogged down by an unnecessarily convoluted and often incomprehensible plot – involving a Martian civil war, a mysterious group of holy men …
The first trailer has been released for Ben Affleck’s third directorial effort, Argo. Based on a fascinating, wild true story documented by Wired in 2007 (“How the CIA Used a Fake Sci-Fi Flick to Rescue Americans from Tehran”), Argo centers on the real-life C.I.A. plan to rescue a group of diplomat hostages from Tehran after the 1979 Iranian …
The first trailer has arrived for Len Wiseman’s remake of Total Recall, or rather his new adaptation of Philip K. Dick’s 1966 novelette We Can Remember it for You Wholesale, which happens to have the same title as Paul Verhoeven’s 1990 film. Colin Farrell stars in the role Arnold Schwarzenegger made famous as Douglas Quaid, an everyman who …
Jimmy Kimmel released an epic nine-minute movie trailer parody last week which featured just about every Hollywood actor and actress you could imagine. Movie: The Movie satirises every blockbuster and crowd pleasing movie marketing cliche, and the result is mostly hilarious. The trailer features appearances by: Ryan Phillippe, Jessica Alba, Taylor Lautner, Antonio Banderas, Edward Norton, …
Disney’s John Carter opens worldwide this week and the rather poor marketing campaign for the hugely expensive film finally seems to be improving. Last week we saw an impressive action-packed final trailer, and today we have been treated to a ten-minute clip from early on in the film which focuses on John Carter’s time on Earth. …
A final trailer was released this week for Disney’s imminent blockbuster John Carter, a big-budget adaptation of the first novel (A Princess of Mars) in Edgar Rice Burroughs’ classic Barsoom series, which tells the story of war-weary, former military captain John Carter (Taylor Kitsch), who is inexplicably transported to Mars where he becomes reluctantly embroiled in a conflict of …
