Kevin Smith's Tusk is the most recent film to prove that critical attention and praise doesn't always translate to a box office hit. Not like we needed another genius cult classic to go unnoticed by the masses, but still. In an unexpected turn of events, it seems that the buzzy word of mouth and positive fan appeal was all the flick needed.
Magic Mike XXL sure is packing the star power, as filming on the sequel to Steven Soderbergh's 2012 stripper hit starts today. Along with confirmation of the newest additions to the cast, Warner Bros. have dropped the official synopsis:
Kristen Stewart's career choices are making one fact abundantly clear: she wants to be taken seriously. It's no wonder that after the melodramatic flimflam of The Twilight Saga that the young thesp's keen to prove her acting prowess. Her critically-acclaimed turn in Clouds Of Sils Maria is soon to be followed by the Guantanamo Bay drama, Camp X-Ray. Whether you're a fan or not, you can't deny she's underrated. Which is why her next turn in Equals could further solidify her as an awards contender.
Gah! If you thought that Daniel Radcliffe, the former boy wizard (who's probably sick of being referred to as such - soz, Dan) didn't have the power to surprise you, think again. In this latest crop of images from Horns, he might be just the guy to give you nightmares.
Leonardo DiCaprio's production shingle, Appian Way, has joined with Langley Park to produce the true story of an American Wolf. Langley's Kevin McCormick pursued the rights after the book deal went through for an alleged seven figures earlier this week. How crazy is it that a movie is already in the works for a book that's only been proposed? Not that crazy, actually, as that move is emerging as a popular method for acquiring new movie material.
For those of you who stayed in your seats at the end of 22 Jump Street, this post won't come as a surprise. In fact, it'll most likely come as a welcome bit of frivolity to end your working week. Via Imgur, an entire gallery dedicated to the film's spoof spin-offs has arrived online.
There's many stories that never go out of style, and the heist flick is certainly at the top of that list. It's a popular sub-genre because it can easily avoid the timestamp. Certainly, modern movies implement technology into their schemes, but sometimes it's just a couple of guys, a girl and a plan. And you don't need tech for that choice premise to work beautifully.
We'd like to believe that Taken 3 (or Tak3n as it's being marketed) will be the final outing for Bryan Mills. It's got to be. Surely he's due for a serious medical episode after all of his tiresome globetrotting, right? Even the star of the franchise, Liam Neeson, has repeatedly stated that it is most definitely, absolutely, THE last one. But, wait. Didn't he say that about the second one?
Aiden Gillen has proven he's worth far more than brief offing from Bane in the opening of The Dark Knight Rises. Having found success in the UK on the original Queer As Folk, he's since become synonymous with further conniving antics for HBO. As Game Of Thrones' duplicitous meddler, Littlefinger, Gillen has mastered the art of being a total sod while still acquiring a loyal fanbase. If he's eager to be typecast as a baddie, he's going about the right way - the actor has now signed on to star in The Scorch Trials.
The USA Network has picked up Carlton Cuse's new show, Colony. His former colleague and Lost islander, Josh Holloway, has also signed on to lead the futuristic series in what's turning out to be an unofficial Lost reunion.
