TRAILER: Blade Runner 2049

May 15, 2017 by scott

The full-length trailer for Blade Runner 2049 has finally arrived, and, let’s get this out of the way first: It looks amazing. With cinematography by infinite Oscar nominee Roger Deakins and production by Dennis Gassner, the world of Denis Villeneuve’s sequel looks to rival Ridley Scott’s original for misty dystopian moodiness, with just a touch of Only God Forgives thrown in for good measure. (Gassner and Deakins have worked together many times before, including on Skyfall and The Hudsucker Proxy, so it seems only reasonable to assume that Blade Runner 2049 will look like a cross between the two.) Call … Read more

Gay Talent Behind New Beauty and the Beast

February 6, 2017 by scott

It’s a timeless love story about two straight people. Well, a woman and a large, aggressive animal, who we’re nevertheless sure is heterosexual. And yet, there’s something universal about Gabrielle-Suzanne Barbot de Villeneuve’s classic French fairytale. The themes – looking past appearances, the transformative power of love – are irresistibly sweeping. And this year, the 1740 text is once again adapted for the big screen by Disney. Except of course, this time, Beauty and the Beast will be a live-action movie, starring Emma Watson as Belle and Dan Stevens as the Beast. Emma takes on the iconic role of the … Read more

Meanwhile, Sir Ian McKellen is the voice of Cogsworth. The film – featuring a new-look, computer-generated beast – is due in March 2017. It’s a live-action remake of the 1991 original.

Trailer: LIFE

November 3, 2016 by scott

The first trailer for LIFE, a sci-fi thriller starring Jake Gyllenhaal and Ryan Reynolds, has just been released. Based on a script penned by Paul Wernick (Deadpool, Zombieland) and directed by Daniel Espinosa (Safe House), LIFE follows a group of six astronauts/scientists aboard the International Space Station who retrieve the first known sample of life on Mars. However, what they first believe to be a simple organism turns out to be more intelligent (and dangerous) than they expected. Fans of eerie sci-fi films thrillers will undoubtedly see some allusions to LIFE‘s cinematic antecedents (Sphere, for instance, comes to mind). But … Read more

Nine Trashy But Scary Halloween Movies

November 4, 2016October 31, 2016 by scott

Is it just me, or do LGBTI people have a thing for scary movies? I’ve encountered enough gay horror aficionados in my time to say: quite possibly. So ahead of Halloween on Monday 31 October, we’re revisiting our favourite absurdly camp – but surprisingly decent – horror flicks of the oft-overlooked variety. Some are criminally underrated. Others have fallen off radar since release. The rest commonly find themselves overshadowed by their bigger blockbuster brothers and sisters (sometimes within their own franchise). Whatever the case, we say pass on seeing Scream form the 100th time (although obviously that’s one of the … Read more

Review: X-Men: Apocalypse

May 27, 2016 by scott

Bryan Singer directed the first two movies based on Marvel Comics’ mutant superhero team the X-Men. Brett Ratner directed the third film, The Last Stand, which is loathed by fans and critics alike. The franchise was then rebooted with Matthew Vaughn’s First Class, and Bryan Singer returned for the second film in this cycle, Days of Future Past, arguably the best of all of the X-Men movies. And now there’s X-Men: Apocalypse, which opens May 27. About a third of the way through Apocalypse, which takes place in 1983, Jean Gray (Sophie Turner), Cyclops (Tye Sheridan), Nightcrawler (Kodi Smit-McPhee) and … Read more
