New Images from SNOW WHITE AND THE HUNTSMAN Featuring Chris Hemsworth and 8 Dwarves

As their respective release dates loom closer, the battle between the two Snow White films is heating up. A new international trailer for Tarsem Singh’s Mirror Mirror was recently released, and today Universal has released two new images from Rupert Sanders’ Snow White and the Huntsman. One of them gives us a peek at a burly Chris Hemsworth flanked by the eight dwarves. Yes, in Snow White and the Huntsman there are eight dwarves (something to do with a rights issue), but they look like a pretty formidable band of warriors here. Sanders assembled a pretty damn impressive roster of actors to play the dwarves, including Nick Frost, Bob Hoskins, Ray Winstone, Toby Jones, Eddie Marsan, and Ian McShane.

Hit the jump to check out the images, which also include a new look at Charlize Theron as the evil Queen. I continue to be impressed by what I see from Huntsman, and I’m sincerely hoping that the full film delivers a grand, epic adventure. Snow White and the Huntsman opens June 1st.

First Trailer and 4 New Posters for SNOW WHITE AND THE HUNTSMAN Starring Kristen Stewart, Chris Hemsworth & Charlize Theron

Universal has released the first trailer for Rupert Sanders‘ Snow White and the Huntsman.  Kristen Stewart plays Snow White in the fairy tale adaptation, where she trains in the art of war with a huntsman (Chris Hemsworth) to fight the evil queen (Charlize Theron).  I’m with this trailer until it Theron says…”Mirror, mirror on the wall…,” and then I started to roll my eyes.  But I’m trying to give it a chance because I like the visual style and I want to resist the urge to dismiss it just because it has “Snow White” in the title. Of course, both Snow White and the Huntsman and Tarsem Singh’s Mirror, Mirror have to contend with trying to take on a new version of Snow White when for the past seventy-five years we’ve really only known the one with the singing dwarves. But at least with Sanders’ Snow White, it looks like there’s an intriguing and exciting vision behind this new take.  Your move, Singh.

New Trailer for SHERLOCK HOLMES: A GAME OF SHADOWS

by Matt Goldberg    Posted: October 19th, 2011 at 7:23 am

Warner Bros. has finally released a new trailer for Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows and it is discouraging.  There are a few neat moments like some glimpses of Rachel McAdams reprising her role as Irene Adler (although the role will amount to a cameo this time around), and the formation of ye old sniper rifle.  But what I find troubling about this trailer is that it’s very light on story.  Usually the second trailer is all about laying out the plot and this one is just more action.  Lots and lots of action, which is fine, but Sherlock Holmes vs. Professor Moriarty is one of the great fictional battles of all-time.  This movie may have boiled it down to excessive speed-ramping.  Here’s hoping I’m wrong.

Trailer for TYRANNOSAUR Starring Peter Mullan and Olivia Colman

by Matt Goldberg    Posted: August 25th, 2011 at 9:19 am

A trailer has gone online for Paddy Considine’s Tyrannosaur and unless the movie has been drastically recut, it’s not an accurate representation.  As I said in my Sundance review, the film is grim, brutal, and pointless.  It is rarely uplifting and if there’s drama between Peter Mullan and Olivia Colman’s characters, it’s because of the actors’ tremendous performances and the tension of two people who are unable to trust anyone and yet want to rely on each other.  I know other critics who were mesmerized and deeply moved by the film, and it picked up multiple awards at Sundance, but I felt it was mainly one-note.

Hit the jump to check out the trailer.  Tyrannosaur currently has no release date but it will likely open sometime before the end of the year.

First Trailer for SHERLOCK HOLMES: A GAME OF SHADOWS

by Adam Chitwood    Posted: July 12th, 2011 at 4:55 pm

The trailer for Guy Ritchie’s Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows. While it’s nothing too mindblowing, we do get to see a good deal of Noomi Rapace’s character, and bit of Mad Men‘s Jared Harris as Moriarty. It’s nice to see Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law back in fine form, and Ritchie seems to be maintaining the style he set with the first film. The sequel will see Holmes and Watson facing off against Holmes’ arch-nemesis Professor Moriarty.

Hit the jump to check out the trailer.  The film also stars Noomi Rapace, Eddie Marsan, Kelly Reilly, and Stephen Fry.  Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows opens December 16th.

First Trailer for Steven Spielberg’s WAR HORSE [Updated]

by Brendan Bettinger    Posted: June 28th, 2011 at 9:21 pm

[Update: We have updated the article with the English-language version which is also higher-quality video, as well as a new set image]

A Spanish trailer for Steven Spielberg’s adaptation of War Horse has leaked online.  The movie charts the journey of a horse named Joey and his quest to reunite with a farmer’s son named Albert (Jeremy Irvine) against the backdrop of World War I.  Disney should release the official trailer soon, but the quality of this version is sufficient for now.  If you were hoping for a sweeping epic with a soaring John Williams score, the new clip promises just that.

Tom Hiddleston, Benedict Cumberpatch, Patrick Kennedy, Emily Watson, Toby Kebbell, David Thewlis, Eddie Marsan, and Peter Mullan also star.  War Horse opens December 28th. Watch the trailer after the jump.

Eddie Izzard, Bob Hoskins, and Toby Jones Joining Ian McShane as Dwarfs in SNOW WHITE AND THE HUNTSMAN

by Jason Barr    Posted: June 21st, 2011 at 5:44 pm

Last night, we reported that Ian McShane had been cast as the leader of the dwarfs in Universal’s Snow White project, Snow White and the Huntsman. Tonight, it looks as if the actor is getting some company as Heat Vision reports that Eddie Izzard (Valkyrie), Bob Hoskins (Who Framed Roger Rabbit?), and Toby Jones (Captain America: The First Avenger) are in final negotiations to join McShane’s gang of dwarfs. Per the report, Izzard will play the burliest dwarf Tiberius, Hoskins will a blind dwarf named Constantine, and Jones will make a turn as the timid dwarf Claudius. The trio will join a cast that already includes Chris Hemsworth, Charlize Theron, and Kristen Stewart.

In addition to Izzard, Hoskins, and Jones, the report also mentions that Eddie Marsan (Sherlock Holmes) and Steven Graham are currently in talks to play warriors in the pic. Directed by Rupert Sanders, Snow White and the Huntsman features princess Snow White (Stewart) attempting to escape the grasp of her evil stepmother (Theron) with the help of a huntsman (Hemsworth) who trains her to survive. Evan Spiliotopoulos is currently touching up a script by Evan Daugherty. The film is scheduled to hit theaters on June 1st, 2012.

Casting Call: Brendan Fraser to Lead WHOLE LOTTA SOLE; Michelle Rodriguez to Co-Star in THE HOME; Hayley Atwell Joins I, ANNA

by Matt Goldberg    Posted: March 14th, 2011 at 6:47 am

We have some quick casting news for you this morning.  First up, Brendan Fraser will star in the heist comedy Whole Lotta Sole for director Terry George (Hotel Rwanda).  Variety reports that the story centers on a young man who robs a fish shop in order to pay off a gambling debt, but the heist goes sideways when it turns into a hostage situation.  Fraser will play the shopkeeper who’s on the run from his gangster father-in-law.  Fraser had a rough 2010 with Extraordinary Measures and Furry Vengeance so hopefully Whole Lotta Sole will work out for him.  He’s also attached to star in the Neil LaBute drama Seconds of Pleasure with Kristen Scott Thomas.

Sundance 2011: TYRANNOSAUR Review

by Matt Goldberg    Posted: January 22nd, 2011 at 9:54 pm

If you’re going to make a grim and brutal film, please make sure the grimness and brutality have a point.  Paddy Considine’s Tyrannosaur is nothing more than a collection of cheap dramatic shots combined with the hope that the visible pain of two characters will be enough to carry a belabored narrative that suffers from pacing and predictability.  While lead actors Peter Mullan and Olivia Colman deliver strong performances, they’re stuck playing flat characters that are defined by their suffering and almost nothing else.  Tyrannosaur wants to shock you into believing it has a powerful tale to tell, but at the end you’re not electrified as much as you’re annoyed.

Exclusive Interview with Writer/Director William Monahan for LONDON BOULEVARD

by Steve 'Frosty' Weintraub    Posted: November 17th, 2010 at 10:41 pm

March, 2009. That’s the first time I started talking with William Monahan about doing an interview for his directorial debut London Boulevard.  At the time, he was in prep in London, and we talked about why he wanted to adapt Ken Bruen’s novel and what the experience was like for him.  But for many reasons, the interview fell apart, and we decided to continue talking at a later point.  Of course later became a few months, and then we started and stopped a few more times.  Until last week.  That’s because about a week ago, at the Chateau Marmont in Los Angeles, I finally sat down with the Academy Award-winning screenwriter of The Departed to talk about his directorial debut, which stars Colin Farrell, Keira Knightley, Anna Friel, Jamie Bower, David Thewlis, Ray Winstone, Stephen Graham, Eddie Marsan, and Ben Chaplin. The film is about a man just released from prison (Farrell) who falls in love with a reclusive young movie star (Knightley) and finds himself in a duel with a vicious gangster (Winstone).

During our extended interview, which lasted close to an hour, we covered everything from the genesis of the project to what it was like in the editing room.  Of course we also covered things like his writing process, why it is coming out in the UK before America (it gets released November 26 in the UK), the test screening process, why the British gangster genre is so popular, his other projects like The Gamblers, Becket, what’s up with Tripoli, what got him involved in Joseph Kosinski’s Oblivion, and so much more.

While I hate to compare interviews against one another, I can honestly say this is one of the best conversations I’ve ever had with any filmmaker.  Hit the jump to check it out:

Exclusive: Sergio Pizzorno Scoring William Monahan’s LONDON BOULEVARD; UK Release November 26, February in America

by Steve 'Frosty' Weintraub    Posted: October 19th, 2010 at 1:40 pm

While information regarding William Monahan’s London Boulevard (his directorial debut) has been sparse, I can report Monahan is done with the film and we’re very close to getting some new images and a trailer.

If you’re not familiar with London Boulevard, it’s about a man newly released from prison who falls in love with a reclusive young movie star and finds himself in a duel with a vicious gangster (synopsis via IMDb).  The film stars Keira Knightley, Colin Farrell, Jamie Campbell Bower, Stephen Graham, Anna Friel, David Thewlis, Ray Winstone, and Eddie Marsan.

Even though I can’t offer any new images today (hopefully soon), I can report Sergio Pizzorno (from the band Kasabian) has done the original score and the film will be released in the UK on November 26 and in the US in February.  London Boulevard will be the first offering from Graham King and Bob Berney’s new distribution company, FilmDistrict.  More after the jump.

Today brings the first images from Ralph Fiennes’ adaptation of Shakespeare’s Coriolanus, a family-political tragedy set in ancient Rome.  Making his directorial debut, Fiennes transplants the action to contemporary times, which explains the modern military garb in the photos.  Fiennes stars as the titular character opposite Gerard Butler, who plays an army commander and nemesis of Coriolanus.  The cast also includes William Hurt, Eddie Marsan, Jessica Chastain, and Vanessa Redgrave.
