--- Star Lord Lover - Well I wan't expecting to ever have a robotic metal-helmet fetish introduced into my life, but then they went and
put Chris Pratt in one in his Guardians of the Galaxy shape and now, I just don't know. I guess that's where we are.
--- And Speaking of sexy rough-n-tumble superhero types, Captain America isn't pussyfooting around those DC dudes a bit -
Disney says the third Marvel movie in the saga of
Chris Evans' bouncing arse will not back down from its release date even though
Batman Vs. Superman or whatever they're calling it also plans to be belly-flopping onto the exact same date. Well I have enough room for at least Chris and Henry Cavill in my... heart. Yeah, heart, that's it.
--- Cannibal Feast - Today's lunchtime read - a wonderfully thorough interview (beware spoilers for what we've seen so far)
with Bryan Fuller about what we've seen on the second season of
Hannibal,
and where we're headed. Season Three talk, ho! I finally caught up with
Friday's episode last night (I knew there was sexy stuff and I didn't
want to watch it with my mother while she was here, sue me) and goddamn
it grossed me out. (thanks Mac)
.
--- Tyrannosaurus Rowr - I never watched
The Office but Andy Buckley's been around in enough random things that he's at least a familiar (cute) face to me -
he's just signed on for a role in the new
Jurassic Park movie - hopefully he's playing Chris Pratt's man lover. A lover, who is a man.
--- Peggy Prowled - We've been waiting for something from Bryan Bertino, the director of
The Strangers, for ages -
now there's word he's making There Are Monsters, a movie about a woman and her daughter trapped in their house by, you guessed it, monsters -- and it will star Elisabeth Moss! I am so down with this. bertino actually has another horror something called
Mockingbird already finished, but no word on when we're seeing that.
--- Queen Blood - It's been a very long time since I've read
Clive Barker's Books of Blood in full so my memory of the story "Jacqueline Ess" is extremely foggy, but
Lena Headey's just signed on to star in a movie version of it so I guess I'll have my memory jogged. (How good was she on this week's
Game of Thrones, by the way?)
--- Man Or Muse - Since he's the king of Cannes this year, with two big movies in competition, we're hearing a lot of Robert Pattinson things right now -
here's some new pictures and clips from David Michod's
The Rover and Cronenberg's
Map to the Stars, and here's some quotes from the boy-man-vampire on how rough the Twilight critics were on him and how he might team up with Harmony Korine next.
--- Surf's Nope - Gerard Butler apparently decided that one shitty surfing movie on his resume was plenty,
and has dropped out of the remake of
Point Break. We should expect a replacement announcement soon I guess, cuz the studio is all over making this thing happen. Some exec wants a paid beach vacation, I guess.
--- Women on the Verge - Last night The Film Experience's "Hit Me With Your Best Shot" series took on Robert Altman's great great great film
3 Women, with Sissy Spacek and Shelley Duvall -
hit up this link here for links outwards to all the posts across the web.
--- Jock Rock - Every time I read the name Finn Wittrock I am immediately transported to an episode of
The Flintstones, so thankfully I don't read the name Finn Wittrock all that often, I have more important things to have on my mind than Barney Rubble. Like movies where Aaron Eckhart's playing a football coach! But now the two shall meet - Finn Wittrock (he was in
Noah and he's in Angelina Jolie's upcoming movie)
is set to play a University of Texas player, apparently well-known and regarded or something, and Eckhart's his coach, and hopefully the entire thing is set in the lockerroom.
--- Off Agent -
Wolf Creek director Greg McLean's next movie, the "micro-budgeted" horror flick
6 Miranda Drive with Kevin Bacon and Radha Mitchell,
has gotten a new cast-mate - Ming-Na, who can currently be seen rocking a lot of bodysuit-type outfits while scowling on
Agents of SHIELD, will be playing something-or-other. I am gonna make a guess: the movie's about a family that "unwittingly" brings a supernatural force home with them from the Grand Canyon (who would "wittingly" do such a thing?) - I've seen enough horror movies to know the ethnic person in the cast will probably have some tie to the supernatural world. That's how these things work.

--- Snow In New York - Here in New York
BAM has announced the movies that will be playing their CinemaFest at the end of this month, and their centerpiece film is none other than Bong Joon-ho's long delayed here in the US
Snowpiercer, with Chris Evans and Tilda Swinton. I have already seen
and reviewed the movie thanks to this here wonderful internet, but it might be worth it to see it on a big screen, it's a gorgeously shot thing. They're also showing David Wain's rom-com snarkfest
They Came Together with Amy Poehler and Paul Rudd. (thanks Mac)
--- And finally, speaking of New York film festivals,
here's the campaign page and down below is the fundraising video for the NYC Indie Film Fest, which is celebrating its fifth year and is trying to raise some cash to expand.Go give them some money, I want all the film festivals I can get please.
