I’m a huge Bill Murray fan. He’s busted ghosts in one of my all time favourite films, Ghostbusters, made a mockery of the army in Stripes, and he’s also the reason why I hunt gophers, for his role as Spackler in Caddyshack. Despite his massive presence, he rarely appears in films these days, as he is notorious for being rather …
There seems to be no end to my list of anticipated films in 2012, but found somewhere close to the top, in between all the surly secret agents and kids in red and blue pyjamas, you’ll find Quentin Tarantino’s spaghetti western/slave story, Django Unchained. I’ve really liked the look of everything I had seen and heard thus far, particularly Leonardo …
I love my eighties cinema. It’s a period of filmmaking that was as deep and soulful as the decade that it inhabited. In other words, not at all. But thanks to that shallow couple of years, we got films that were pure action, testosterone and bad accents and one-liners. That style of film is pretty much dead, in our sceptical society. It’s …
It would seem that Hollywood is under the impression that Christmas is actually in September. Just yesterday we brought you news of a 4-disc Blu-Ray boxset for The Avengers that will be Hulk-smashing its way into your lounge on 24 September. Now we get a press release announcing that the hotly anticipated James Bond 50th Anniversary Blu Ray boxset will …
The legend does indeed continue in 2013, as the awesome foursome of chauvenistic news readers return, for Anchorman 2. Will Ferrell and his original news team are back, and it looks like they want to remind people why, in this new teaser trailer. Get ready to ride the Palomino stallion, and submerge yourself in a hot tub full of scotch, …
Hello RemakeVille! We all know how Hollywood just adores to remake anything these days, and while some films are ripe and suitable for a fresh new take, the rest clearly aren’t. So what’s on the agenda this morning, ready to be reimagined, reenvisioned and reborted? Why, none other than the cult classic western, The Magnificent Seven. And they’ve even roped …
Ah, Nathan Fillion. Say it ain’t so. The fan favourite actor has long been linked, albeit through nothing but the geek equivalent of wishing on a falling star, with the lead role of Hank Pym in Marvel and Edgar Wright’s long in development Ant-Man film. But GeekTyrant caught up with him at Hero Complex, where a viewing of Joss Whedon’s Serenity – in which …
In yesterday’s Extras we featured a video by Emma Stone and Andrew Garfield that was less a singing Spider-Man commercial than it was evidence to be presented at the Hague in a crime against humanity trial. Now Andrew Garfield spills to Vulture on how that rather embarrassing (and physically painful to listen to) video came to be. And no, unlike what …
A spooky European village. Properly scary castle mania. Vampires. Werewolves!
