The more I see from ELYSIUM, the more excited I get for the Matt Damon starring, Neil Blomkamp directed science-fiction adventure. All the talk this summer is on the superhero movies coming out, but I can’t help but think that when the summer movies have all come and gone, ELYSIUM might end up being the [...]
With all big summer movies coming out, I keep forgetting that one of my most anticipated films won’t hit theaters for another two months. It looks like the team behind ELYSIUM wants to make sure that doesn’t happen so we are treated to a new photo of star Matt Damon geared up in his mechanical [...]
ELYSIUM is in my top five most anticipated movies coming out this summer. I absolutely loved director Neill Blomkamp’s previous film DISTRICT 9 and am excited to see what tricks he has up his sleeve for his next sci-fi adventure. I’m sure the social commentary will be ever prevelant. Today, we get some fun photos [...]
In any normal year, Neil Blomkamp’s (DISTRICT 9) ELYSIUM would be the most talked about science fiction film of the year. But 2013 is a very unusual year for science fiction in that there are several big time movies coming out with big time stars. OBLIVION, PACIFIC RIM, GRAVITY, ALL YOU NEED IS KILL and [...]
A few days ago we finally got some new images from the new science-fiction film ELYSIUM. Today, we get the first poster. I’m hoping the highly anticipated first trailer will follow suit in the next few days. The poster isn’t bad. While it does plaster the film’s star Matt Damon front and center, at least [...]
Although it’s true ELYSIUM is still four months away, I don’t feel like we’ve been hearing much about it lately. Updates on the film are few and far between, so even a couple of images is news worthy these days. Today, the Spanish website Judao got a couple of pics, the first featuring Matt Damon [...]
PROMISED LAND was written by Matt Damon and John Krasinski, who met when Damon starred with Krasinski’s wife, Emily Blunt, in THE ADJUSTMENT BUREAU. The film is more famous for being Matt Damon’s planned directorial debut and then ended up being another reteaming of Damon and Gus Van Sant after Damon dropped his directorial duties [...]
Next year must be the year of the science-fiction film. Between Tom Cruise in OBLIVION, Guillermo del Toro’s PACIFIC RIM, STAR TREK INTO DARKNESS and Matt Damon’s ELYSIUM, people that haven’t been exposed to much sci-fi at the theater will get a chance to see what they’ve been missing. And kudos to Hollywood for taking [...]
Steven Soderbergh’s final film BEHIND THE CANDELABRA is set to premiere next May at the Cannes Film Festival, and it looks like HBO has released a couple of new images to get us excited. BEHIND THE CANDELABRA follows Scott Thorson (Matt Damon) who was Liberace’s (Michael Douglas) secret lover who had a romance with the [...]
So another new photo of Matt Damon in the upcoming sci-fi film ELYSIUM has been released, and since we’ve already seen a photo of him from this film the fact that’s he’s bald isn’t as big of an impact as it was previously. However, it’s still a photo of Matt Damon and I can’t think [...]
It just wouldn’t feel like Academy Award season if either Matt Damon or Ben Affleck didn’t have a film coming out. Lucky for us, they both have contenders this season, for Affleck it’s ARGO, for Matt Damon it’s PROMISED LAND (though to be fair PROMISED LAND doesn’t have as good of a shot at winning [...]
A couple of new photos have been released for the upcoming Matt Damon and John Krasinski film PROMISED LAND and though this film will probably fly under a lot of people’s radar’s, I think it looks pretty darn good. The film follows a corporate salesman named Steve Butler (Matt Damon) who goes to a struggling [...]
Early next year director Gus Van Sant (GOODWILL HUNTING) will be releasing a film called PROMISED LAND that stars Matt Damon and John Krasinski. A new trailer was released today, and just like all projects Matt Damon is a part of – I’m desperately excited to see it. PROMISED LAND follows a salesman (Matt Damon) [...]
What great news for a Thursday as my favorite Hollywood trio has decided to reunite for another film. Casey Affleck is set to star in the film RACE TO THE SOUTH POLE with big brother Ben Affleck and Matt Damon on for producing credits. Written by Peter Glanz, RACE TO THE SOUTH POLE follows the [...]
A new photo from Steven Soderbergh’s final film BEHIND THE CANDELABRA, starring Matt Damon and Michael Douglas, has been printed in a magazine and even though it’s just one photo it really does speak a thousand words. BEHIND THE CANDELABRA is a biopic of famed pianist Liberace who will be played by Michael Douglas, with [...]
After sitting in an editing room for nearly two years, Kenneth Lonergan’s MARGARET was eventually released by Fox in the fall of 2011 to very little fanfare. But for the critics who did see it during its limited theatrical run, it became one of the most talked about movies of the year. We’ve all been [...]
Flix66.com and Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment are proud to offer you a chance to win MARGARET on Blu-ray. Hailed as “one of the decade’s cinematic wonders” (Richard Brody, The New Yorker) and named “one of the best films of the year” (Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times), MARGARET is “ambitious, affecting, unwieldy and haunting” (Ann Hornaday, [...]
Is it just me, or are there a lot of politically charges science-fiction movies on the horizon? We have Tom Cruise’s OBLIVION, set in a world where the humans live in the clouds to avoid the alien race below. Guillermo Del Toro has PACIFIC RIM, in which an alien race attacks earth and consumes all [...]
Movies that touch on various emotions in a viewer seems to be a rare thing these days. As much as I love watching movies, I find many of them to be average or slightly below and it makes me appreciate when I watch a film that touches on several different feelings. For whatever reason, Cameron [...]
Flix66.com and Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment are proud to offer you a chance to win a DVD of WE BOUGHT A ZOO Directed by acclaimed filmmaker Cameron Crowe (Almost Famous, Jerry Maguire) and starring Matt Damon (Contagion, True Grit), Scarlett Johansson (Iron Man 2, Vicky Cristina Barcelona) and Thomas Haden Church (Easy A, Sideways). [...]
Not everyone in America knows who Rosemarie DeWitt is, but it’s only a matter of time before she lands that premium role that pushes into the limelight. I remember her from her incredible performance in the all around great RACHEL GETTING MARRIED with Anne Hathaway, but she’s done several films, including CINDERELLA MAN and THE [...]
You know who would be a great Oscar host? Jimmy Kimmel. He seems to be in touch with what’s going on in the world and has the respect of most of Hollywood (judging by the laundry list of talent he got for this spoof). After the Oscars last night, he premiered this spoof trailer, basically [...]
It’s hard not to feel at least a little bad for Cameron Crowe’s WE BOUGHT A ZOO. It got thrown in during the holiday award season with little fanfare, then took some unnecessary (and ignorant) digs during the Dragon Tattoo review controversy. So a lot of people missed the film in theaters, including myself. But [...]
As you may recall, Matt Damon was set to make his directorial debut with an untitled script that was handpicked by John Krasinski (‘The Office’). The film was based off an idea from Krasinski, who paid Dave Eggers to write the script (which he and Damon eventually edited). Well, it turns out that the extremely [...]
Steven Soderbergh’s epidemic outbreak film CONTAGION is a star-studded ensemble drama that features some of the biggest stars in Hollywood, including Matt Damon, Gwyneth Paltrow, Kate Winslet, Marion Cotillard and Laurence Fishburn. So it’s surprising to learn that although the film has a lot of famous people in it, none of their characters were memorable [...]
Posted by: Kristy Sturdivant Warner Home Entertainment has announced that the thriller CONTAGION, starring Matt Damon, Gwyneth Paltrow, Kate Winslet, Marion Cotillard, Laurence Fishburne, Jude Law and John Hawkes, will be released on Blu-ray January 3, 2012. CONTAGION follows a few individuals as a deadly virus reaches epidemic proportions and starts wiping out millions of [...]
By Nathan Swank I firmly believe we have already seen a few of the Oscar contenders this year in TREE OF LIFE, MONEYBALL and THE HELP. However, there are at least ten Oscar picture potentials still to be released. And no matter how much I’m excited for MISSION IMPOSSIBLE: GHOST PROTOCOL or even SHERLOCK HOLMES: [...]
Posted by: Brad Sturdivant A few days ago, Matt Damon revealed that he and BFF Ben Affleck were teaming up on a biopic on famous Boston mobster Whitey Bulger. But not much else was set in stone other than they were going to try and do it. Well, it seems things might be moving along [...]
Posted by: Brad Sturdivant Count me as one of the fans that’s eagerly anticipating seeing Matt Damon and Ben Affleck back on the big screen together. I recently re-watched GOOD WILL HUNTING and was reminded what a great film that is and how good Damon and Affleck are together. But also count me as part [...]
Posted by: Zack Bruce I had no idea that Matt Damon and John Krasinski were buddies. Not to mention the fact that Krasinski keeps good company. The two will be teaming up for an untitled drama set up over at Warner Brothers. The idea came from Krasinski who co-wrote the script with Damon. Author Dave [...]
Posted by: Brad Sturdivant It’s true that Cameron Crowe has been off his game since his crowning achievement, ALMOST FAMOUS back in 2000, but even with his “bad” films, I find myself enjoying them. ELIZABETHTOWN wasn’t great by any means, but I related to the character and thought it was decent. But after watching the [...]
A deadly virus is rapidly spreading throughout the world. As the government is quickly trying to find a cure by identifying the source, the rest of the nations try their best to avoid all contact with others and survive mass hysteria. Steven Soderbergh’s CONTAGION follows several different characters played by an array of movie stars. [...]
I’m sure you’ll agree when I claim that John Malkovich may be two cards short of a full deck. However, I often find that his characters charm their way into my heart with each quirky nuance. Had he not played Russian poker player with a sophisticated palate for Oreos, ROUNDERS may not have scored as [...]
Posted by: Brad Sturdivant Early box office numbers indicate that this weekend will be the worst financially performing weekend of the year at the box office. Yes, even worse than the weekend that Hurricane Irene kept half the East Coast inside on Saturday and Sunday. What makes this more confusing is that this weekend didn’t [...]
Posted by: Brad Sturdivant I’ve written several stories about the upcoming Bourne reboot-prequel-sequel-lateral film THE BOURNE LEGACY and in each post, I take a potshot at Jeremy Renner and Universal. Now, we hear from Jason Bourne himself, Matt Damon on whether or not he’s going to grace us with a quick cameo in next summer’s [...]
Posted by: Zack Bruce Usually it takes Cameron Crowe quite a while to put together a screenplay. After one project, the director sometimes can take up to four years to spit out his next project. That doesn’t seem to be the case presently. Crowe’s next effort, WE BOUGHT A ZOO has inspired him to kick [...]
Posted by: Kristy Sturdivant More photos from Steven Soderbergh’s upcoming film CONTAGION have been released and it’s pretty much more of the same. Since this is a drama and not an action film it’s tough to tell what exactly is going on, but we can tell that everyone is very concerned and freaked out. Rightfully [...]
In 1997, Miramax (which was run by The Weinsteins at the time) released a small film from indie director Gus Van Sant that was written by two then little known actors named Matt Damon and Ben Affleck. Throw in an out of character dramatic performance from Robin Williams and you had a movie that on [...]
Posted by: Kristy Sturdivant Steven Soderbergh’s next film CONTAGION is set to hit theaters in less than a month and we have a few more photos to whet your appetite. In these images below we get another look at Matt Damon who looks like he’s leading an army of germaphobes to some unknown location, and [...]
Posted by: Kristy Sturdivant A new photo has been released from the upcoming Cameron Crowe film WE BOUGHT A ZOO and we get yet another shot of Matt Damon and Scarlett Johansson hanging out with wildlife. I know this film is supposed to be dramatic and heartfelt, but every photo I’ve seen so far portrays [...]
Posted by: Zack Bruce Steven Soderbergh’s CONTAGION looks creepy. If the trailer is a decent indicator, the tone of the film feels sort of hitchcockian. There’s much more suspense and interest in characters rather than gory, cheap scares. The plot is an intriguing one since the virus is one that keeps humans away from other humans. [...]
Posted by:Zack Bruce Back in 2005, Anna Paquin and Matt Damon shot a film for director Kenneth Lonergan (YOU CAN COUNT ON ME) called MARGARET. That film has still never seen the light of day but will soon enough. Lonergan got tied up in lawsuits and could never get the film the way he wanted it [...]
Posted by: Kristy Sturdivant After teasing you yesterday with Cameron Crowe’s thoughts on a SAY ANTHING sequel, let’s jump back to reality and discuss what he’s currently working on. Crowe’s next directorial effort is WE BOUGHT A ZOO which is based on the memoir of Benjamin Mee which chronicles a father who moves his family [...]
Posted by: Zack Bruce The trailer for Steven Soderbergh’s CONTAGION looked very intriguing. Sure it’s another virus film but this one is a little different. Usually in films containing a virus it takes a bite, cough, sneeze, etc. In this one, basically all you need to catch this deadly virus is to touch someone. So [...]
Posted by: Brad Sturdivant Watching the first trailer for CONTAGION reminded me of how much I loved Steven Soderbergh’s ensemble drama TRAFFIC. And no disrespect to the Ocean’s films, but he hasn’t matched that epic intensity since then. But I like what I’m seeing in this trailer and it should be a good reminder to [...]
Posted by: Kristy Sturdivant Lionsgate Films has announced that they will released the Miramax Academy Award-winning film GOOD WILL HUNTING on Blu-ray August 30, 2011. This highly acclaimed film from director Gus Van Sant follows the story of Will Hunting (played by Matt Damon) a janitor at an Ivy League school who is actually a [...]
Posted by: Zack Bruce Neill Blomkamp’s super secretive ELYSIUM is looking to add another member to the cast. According to Variety, Diego Luna is in talks to join the sci-fi film. If he signs on, Luna will be co-star to an already stellar cast that includes Matt Damon, Jodie Foster, Sharlto Copley, William Fichtner, Wagner [...]
Posted by: Kristy Sturdivant If you’ve been keeping up with movie news, then you know that Matt Damon has been not so secretly talking about adding another aspect of filmmaking to his resume. He’s been making moves to direct his first feature film (which may or may not end up being FATHER DAUGHTER TIME: A [...]
Posted by: Brad Sturdivant DISTRICT 9 director Neil Blomkamp is putting a dream team together for his next science fiction film ELYSIUM. It was recently announced that he was teaming with set designer Syd Mead (who did BLADE RUNNER) and now he’s putting the finishing touches on his cast. The latest to join his next [...]
Posted by: Kristy Sturdivant A teaser trailer for HAPPY FEET 2 IN 3D has been released and if you liked the first one then you’ll probably like this one as well. No plot is revealed but I’m sure a plot isn’t necessary for a film like this. After all, it has a couple basic ingredients [...]
