Charlie Hunnam

First Official Synopsis for Guillermo del Toro’s PACIFIC RIM

by Adam Chitwood    Posted: May 23rd, 2012 at 1:10 pm

Director Guillermo del Toro finally has a new directorial feature film set for release next year.  He spent quite a while preparing to direct The Hobbit before leaving when he thought the film would be held up in MGM’s legal troubles for years, then he started prepping At the Mountains of Madness with Tom Cruise only to have Universal pass on the project in favor of things like Battleship.  All’s well that end’s well, as del Toro recently wrapped his first directorial effort since Hellboy II: The Golden Army, a monster movie called Pacific Rim.

Little details have been known about the plot for Pacific Rim other than the fact that del Toro promises “the finest fucking monsters ever committed to screen” and the film involves battles between human-manned robots and monsters.  A rumored plot synopsis surfaced back in March of 2011, and now Warner Bros. has released an official synopsis for the film that seems to confirm much of that earlier premise.  Hit the jump for the full synopsis.

Comic-Con 2011: Charlie Hunnam and Ron Perlman Interview SONS OF ANARCHY

by Christina Radish    Posted: July 25th, 2011 at 9:08 am

To premiere a scene from Season 4, showcasing the gang’s release from a 14-month prison stint following the aftermath of last season’s finale, the hit FX drama Sons of Anarchy got to make their Hall H debut at Comic-Con. Prior to the panel, co-stars Charlie Hunnam and Ron Perlman sat down for a roundtable with some press to hint at what fans can expect for the upcoming season.

During the interview, the actors explained how Charming is a very different place with a new mayor and sheriff, how that will affect SAMCRO and their vision for their town, that 14 months of prison has brought Jax and Clay closer together, that Jax (Hunnam) will struggle with whether or not to stay in the club while Clay (Perlman) will do everything with a greater sense of urgency and desperation, and how Season 4 will focus on the internal world of the Sons. Hunnam also talked about what led him to sign on for the sci-fi film Pacific Rim (due in 2013), how he thinks Guillermo del Toro is one of the best filmmakers in the world, and how lucky it was that the film will shoot during hiatus for the show.

Casting Call: Charlie Hunnam to Star in Guillermo del Toro’s PACIFIC RIM; Amber Heard and Shiloh Fernandez Like SYRUP

by Jason Barr    Posted: May 9th, 2011 at 6:32 pm

We have a couple of casting stories to send your way tonight. First up, Charlie Hunnam (FX’s Sons of Anarchy) has landed the starring role in Guillermo del Toro’s Pacific Rim. Heat Vision reports that details regarding Hunnam’s role are under wraps but speculates that the turn may be as a pilot of a mecha (from the Japanese genre which involves humans manning “robotic constructs”) that “needs to climb back into the driver’s chair.” You may remember that the director decided to pursue Pacific Rim as his next project shortly after Universal failed to greenlight his R-rated take on At the Mountains of Madness. Back in March, we filled you in on some of the film’s potential plot elements and described the project as a monster-pic that takes place in “two worlds.” Hunnam’s casting reiterates that synopsis and describes Pacific Rim as “monster movie that sees powerful extraterrestrial aliens threaten the Earth’s existence, attacking cities and nations neighboring the Pacific Ocean.”

New Posters for BUCK, THE ART OF GETTING BY, THE LEDGE, and WHAT’S YOUR NUMBER?

by Matt Goldberg    Posted: May 6th, 2011 at 6:50 am

New posters have been released for the Sundance films Buck, The Art of Getting By (formerly titled Homework), and The Ledge.  There’s also a new poster for the Anna Faris romantic comedy What’s Your Number?  Hit the jump to check out the posters along with a synopsis for each film and its release date.

Trailer for THE LEDGE Starring Liv Tyler and Patrick Wilson

by Jason Barr    Posted: May 2nd, 2011 at 5:14 pm

The theatrical trailer for writer/director Matthew Chapman’s The Ledge has landed online. Starring Liv Tyler, Patrick Wilson, Charlie Hunnam, and Terrence Howard, the thriller screened at Sundance earlier this year and takes place as a man (Hunnam) threatens to jump from the ledge of a building. As the story goes, it becomes clear that the threat stems from a romantic and ideological dispute between Hunnam and Wilson’s characters.

Hit the jump to check out the trailer for yourself. For my part, I think the cut gives away a little too much regarding Hunnam’s purpose on the ledge. Nevertheless, the film looks to have plenty of drama and Wilson seems to be in a similarly crazy role to his turn in 2005′s Hard Candy (which I see as a plus). The Ledge is scheduled to hit theaters stateside on June 29th.

Casting Call: Jimmi Simpson Joins ABRAHAM LINCOLN: VAMPIRE HUNTER; Kate Mara and Treat Williams Sign on to BLACKBIRD

by Matt Goldberg    Posted: February 25th, 2011 at 9:35 am

We have a couple of quick casting stories for you this morning.  First up, Jimmi Simpson (Date Night) has joined the cast of Timur Bekmambetov’s Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter .  Variety reports that Simpson will be playing Lincoln’s right-hand man.  While I’m sure he’ll do a fine job assisting Lincoln (Benjamin Walker) in his political/vampire-slaying duties, I’ll continue to struggle seeing Simpson as anyone other than the creepy McPoyle brother he plays on It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia.

Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter also stars Anthony Mackie, Dominic Cooper, and Mary Elizabeth Winstead.  Shooting is expected to begin next month.  The film is due out in 3D on June 22, 2012.  Hit the jump for news on Kate Mara and Treat Williams joining Blackbird.

Eric Bana, Olivia Wilde, and Charlie Hunnam Are KIN

by Brendan Bettinger    Posted: December 16th, 2010 at 7:32 pm

Eric Bana (The Time Traveler’s Wife), Olivia Wilde (Tron: Legacy) and Charlie Hunnam (Sons of Anarchy) are in talks to star in KIN.  Per Variety, the crime thriller follows “two desperate sibling fugitives (Bana and Wilde) on the run who subsequently collide with the holiday homecoming of a troubled ex-boxer (Hunnam).”  Stefan Ruzowitzky (The Counterfeiters) will direct from a script by Zach Dean; filming begins this March in Canada.

I really like this cast (assuming they sign on).  I’ve been 30% more interested in Bana’s career since Funny People.  Hunnam pulled a reverse Bana, now officially beyond being known as “the charming Brit on Undeclared.”  And Wilde has been the most interesting actor on House not named Hugh Laurie for a few seasons now, not to mention the go-to twentysomething for the sci-fi films of the next couple years: Tron: Legacy, Cowboys & Aliens, Now.  Let’s do this, Oscar winner Stefan Ruzowitzky.

The FX Network drama Sons of Anarchy tells the story of Jackson “Jax” Teller (Charlie Hunnam), SAMCRO’s Vice-President and the son of John Teller, founder of the Sons of Anarchy Motorcycle Club. His mother, Gemma (Katey Sagal), is married to SAMCRO President Clay Morrow (Ron Perlman), whom she married after the death of her first husband, Jax’s father.

Executive Producer Kurt Sutter Interview SONS OF ANARCHY Season Three

by Christina Radish    Posted: September 5th, 2010 at 7:07 pm

After The Shield ended at FX, executive producer/writer/director Kurt Sutter decided to continue his relationship with the network, when he created the hit drama Sons of Anarchy. Exploring a notorious outlaw motorcycle club’s desire to protect its livelihood while ensuring that their simple, sheltered town of Charming, Calif. stays just the way it is, they have spent the last two seasons confronting threats from drug dealers, corporate developers, overzealous law officers and even a very dangerous white supremacist.

Last season’s finale saw Abel, the infant son of the club’s Vice President, Jax Teller (Charlie Hunnam) kidnapped, leaving him feeling powerless and sending him into deeper turmoil over his future with the club. In the highly anticipated Season 3, his search will send the club as far as Ireland, where Jax faces not only the Irish Republican Army, but his own personal history as well.

During a recent interview, show creator Kurt Sutter talked about the dual storylines in Charming and Belfast, gave hints about what fans can expect from this season’s even more personal struggle and journey, revealed some of the great guest stars and that he has a definite idea for what the last 10 or 11 episodes of the series will look like, whenever that time comes.

On the FX Network drama Sons of Anarchy, actor Ron Perlman plays Clarence “Clay” Morrow, SAMCRO’s ruthless president, one of its founding members and step-father to Jax Teller (Charlie Hunnam), with whom he often has a volatile relationship. In Season 3, all personal issues will be put aside, as every member of the motorcycle club puts their focus on finding Abel, Jax’s infant son who was kidnapped at the end of last season. A family drama at its heart, this deeply emotional journey cannot end well for those responsible.

During a recent interview, Ron Perlman talked about playing an anti-hero, bringing the humanity out in his often unlikeable character and how he enjoy exploring a character over the course of a series. Check out what he had to say after the jump:

Review: First Four Episodes of SONS OF ANARCHY Season Three

by Keith Demko    Posted: September 5th, 2010 at 2:59 pm

As cliffhangers go, fans of the show will remember, the ending of season two of FX’s Sons of Anarchy was a real doozy.

With the SAMCRO crew watching from the end of the dock, “Irish” absconded with Jax’s (Charlie Hunnam) baby Abel, while simultaneously, Gemma (Katey Sagal, yes, really) had been framed for two murders by agent Stahl (Ally Walker) and was on the lam with Police Chief Unser (Dayton Callie).  Got all that? Hit the jump to find out what’s in store next for the motorcycle club with, if not quite a heart of gold, at least an odd sense of justice that makes the show extremely watchable.
