Watch: Anna Kendrick helps Shia LaBeouf track down Robert Redford in first trailer for “The Company You Keep”

August 30, 2012 | Posted by Linda Ge in Videos 1 Comment

Robert Redford is a wanted man and Shia LaBeouf is on his trail in the first trailer for Venice and Toronto-bound political thriller “The Company You Keep.” Redford also directed the film that follows his character, a former Weather Underground activist wanted for decades old crimes. When fellow former activist Susan Sarandon is arrested, he senses his time might be up soon, especially when LaBeouf’s eager young reporter sniffs out his trail, with a little help from Anna Kendrick, a former college hook-up who now has FBI clearance.

The trailer promises an exciting cat and mouse chase and mystery solving, and also features “America’s Got Talent” kid singer Jackie Evancho as Redford’s daughter. Brit Marling, at one point purported to be the female lead of the film, is conspicuously missing. “The Company You Keep” premieres at the Venice Film Festival on September 6th, then at the Toronto Film Festival on September 8th, and was recently picked up for US distribution by Sony Pictures Classics, so an Oscar season release may be in the cards.

Watch: Selena Gomez and Vanessa Hudgens angst it out in first clip from Venice-bound “Spring Breakers”

August 28, 2012 | Posted by Linda Ge in Videos 1 Comment

Well, this is quite a departure from the Disney princesses these girls once were. In Harmony Korine’s Venice and Toronto bound “Spring Breakers”, Selena Gomez, Ashley Benson and Vanessa Hudgens (along with Korine’s wife Rachel Korine) are all grown up, playing bored college students whose spring break vacation goes wrong after they’re caught robbing a restaurant to fund their plans. James Franco’s K-Fed inspired drug dealer bails them out, but naturally wants them to do him a favor in return.

Today The Playlist has dug up the first clip from the film, which seems to prelude the girls’ eventual descent into debauchery. Gomez narrates that feeling of angsty ennui that everything is always the same, in the way that only teenagers can understand, while Hudgens practices her shooting and Benson and Korine sit around and look bored, in the way that only teenagers can.

Really not too sure what to make of this one, so the reviews coming out of Venice and Toronto next week will be very interesting. Watch the first clip below and give us your first impressions.

Watch: First footage from the set of horror “The Quiet Ones” starring Sam Claflin

August 25, 2012 | Posted by Linda Ge in Videos Leave a comment

Before the world gets any glimpse of British actor Sam Claflin playing fan favorite Finnick in “The Hunger Games: Catching Fire”, he’s hard at work on indie horror flick “The Quiet Ones.” Today Hammer Films, who probably could not be happier that their stair landed such a high profile gig, have released the first official look at the filming of the 1970s set ghost story, which features Jared Harris as an Oxford professor who convinces some of his students – Claflin included – to harness negative human energy in order to create a poltergeist.

“The Quiet Ones” is currently in production under the direction of John Pogue, though it should wrap up soon as Claflin is needed on the “Catching Fire” set imminently. He is joined onscreen here by fellow relative unknowns Erin Richards, Olivia Cooke and Rory Fleck-Byrne. Watch the first footage from the set below.

Watch: Olivia Wilde challenges Jennifer Garner in first trailer for political satire “Butter”

August 23, 2012 | Posted by Linda Ge in Videos 2 Comments

Nearly a year after premiering at the Telluride Film Festival in 2011, The Weinstein Company’s quirky indie comedy “Butter” may finally be seeing the light of day. Starring Jennifer Garner as a thinly veiled satire of prominent female Republican political candidates, the Jim Field Smith-directed film centers around a butter carving competition that is the highlight of a small western town. Garner’s uptight champion’s wife character would like to keep the trophy in the family and parlay it into a political career, but her plans are marred when her husband (Ty Burell) begins fooling around with Olivia Wilde, who dons a black wig and skimpy clothing to play the town harlot/stripper. The two women’s rivalry spills over into the competition, and an innocent young orphan (Yara Shahidi) with a natural talent for carving butter gets caught in the middle.

The ensemble cast is rounded out by Hugh Jackman, Alicia Silverstone, Ashley Greene and Rob Corddry. “Butter” will finally be released on VOD on September 7th and in theaters on October 5th. See the first trailer below.

Watch: First trailer for Channing Tatum’s “10 Years” starring Oscar Isaac, Anthony Mackie, Chris Pratt and more

August 16, 2012 | Posted by Linda Ge in Videos Leave a comment

Channing Tatum invited all of his actor friends – basically everyone around the age of 30 you’ve vaguely heard of, including his wife Jenna Dewan, Anthony Mackie, Oscar Isaac, Justin Long, Kate Mara, Max Minghella, Chris Pratt, Rosario Dawson, Ari Graynor and many, many more – to be in “10 Years” (formerly “Ten Year”), the high school reunion ensemble drama he produced and which premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival last year. A year later, the Jamie Linden-directed flick is finally seeing a theatrical release and along with it, finally a trailer.

The antics the reunited group get up to seem firmly cliche and surface-skimming, with some having become famous, other laden down with spouses and children, while still others clearly haven’t gotten over their high school crushes. This seems like the kind of movie that won’t offer up anything groundbreaking plot-wise and will instead rely heavily on the charisma and chemistry of its cast, so luckily, it’s got a damn good one. “10 Years” will be released on September 14th and the trailer can be viewed below.

Watch: first trailer for lavish and dark “Great Expectations” starring Jeremy Irvine and Holliday Grainger

August 15, 2012 | Posted by Rebecca Lewis in Videos Leave a comment

Mike Newell‘s “Great Expectations” adaptation has been one of our most anticipated films of the year, and we’ve been eagerly awaiting something new, following a first image late in 2011 and follow up images earlier this month.

Starring Jeremy Irvine and Holliday Grainger, the film follows Irvine’s Pip, a kind orphan who grows up to be a distinguished gentleman of society through the generosity of an anonymous benefactor, who longs for the unattainable and cold beauty Estella (Grainger) and must face the dark places that his mysterious fortune originated from. The film also stars Helena Bonham Carter as Estella’s eccentric guardian Miss Havisham and Ralph Fiennes as Magwitch, the ex-convict who sponsors Pip’s transformation into a man of means.

This first trailer (which comes with German subtitles) looks lavish and dark, with a haunting soundtrack and focusing on providing an overview of the entire plot. But the big challenge of adapting a beloved and oft-adapted Charles Dickens’ tale is coming up with something new. We’ll find out if Newell has succeeded when the film premieres at the 2012 Toronto International Film Festival this September.

Watch: Justin Timberlake roadtrips with Amy Adams and Clint Eastwood in first trailer for “Trouble with the Curve”

August 7, 2012 | Posted by Linda Ge in Videos Leave a comment

“The Social Network” really did wonders for former boybander Justin Timberlake’s image as a serious actor. Look at him now, just two years later, starring opposite heavyweights Clint Eastwood and Amy Adams in what could be another serious prestige film during another Oscar season. In “Trouble with the Curve”, Eastwood plays an aging baseball scout, reluctant to give up his life’s work, while Adams is his daughter who would like to take over the family business and maybe finally get to spend time with her absent father in the meantime. In a refreshing change of pace, Timberlake appears to take on a secondary love interest/support role to Adams, who clearly gets the emotional journey here (hey, it would have been just as easy – and more predictable – for Eastwood’s character to have a son rather than a daughter).

Eastwood came out of semi-retirement to act in his longtime producing partner Robert Lorenz’s directorial debut. “Trouble with the Curve” will be released on September 28th, and the first trailer can be viewed below.

Watch: Elizabeth Olsen lightens up in first trailer for Josh Radnor’s Sundance hit “Liberal Arts”

August 6, 2012 | Posted by Linda Ge in Images, Videos Leave a comment

Elizabeth Olsen has proven several times over that she’s got serious dramatic chops and has a penchant for the dark and twisted, so it’s rather a delight that we get to see her in a whole new light in the first trailer for Josh Radnor’s sophomore directorial effort, “Liberal Arts.”

As Zibby, a 19 year old college student who catches the eye of Radnor’s Jesse, a 35 year old newly single bookworm on a return visit to his alma mater, she teases, flirts and effervesces through our first look at their slightly inappropriate courtship. Also starring Richard Jenkins, Allison Janney and Zac Efron, “Liberal Arts” debuted to solid reviews at the Sundance Film Festival this January and will be released on September 14th.

The first trailer, along with the first poster from the film, can be viewed below.

First trailer and images for Kathryn Bigelow’s “Zero Dark Thirty” starring Joel Edgerton and Jessica Chastain

August 6, 2012 | Posted by Linda Ge in Images, Videos 1 Comment

Kathryn Bigelow has been deep in development and production on her first film since winning the Best Picture Oscar for 2009′s “The Hurt Locker”, and today the teaser trailer for Osama Bin Laden thriller “Zero Dark Thirty” has been unveiled. The film, like the mission itself, has been shrouded in controversy and secrecy, with a cast led by Joel Edgerton, Jessica Chastain and Kyle Chandler. As for the mysterious and slightly confusing title, Bigelow tells EW, “It’s a military term for 30 minutes after midnight, and it refers also to the darkness and secrecy that cloaked the entire decade long mission.”

From first impressions, the film seems much sleeker than “The Hurt Locker”, though surely the final product will see more of Bigelow’s signature grit and intensity. “Zero Dark Thirty” has been set for a post-Presidential election and Oscar-friendly December 19th release. The first trailer and a couple of images can be viewed below, be sure to head over to EW for much more in-depth coverage on the film.

Watch: Scoot McNairy learns the art of “Killing Them Softly” from Brad Pitt in first trailer

August 1, 2012 | Posted by Linda Ge in Videos Leave a comment

We were bummed to miss this one at Cannes, and the first trailer for Andrew Dominik’s unusual mob drama “Killing Them Softly” only intensifies that disappointment. “Monsters”‘ breakout star Scoot McNairy graduates to the big leagues and shares the screen with Brad Pitt, James Gandolfini, Ray Liotta, Richard Jenkins and more, playing one of two hapless thugs who hold up a high stakes poker game, only to get in over his head with the ruthless enforcer (Pitt) the mobsters send after him to track down their money.

The trailer is full of atmosphere rather than in-your-face testosterone, philosophizing about the American Dream and even some unexpected humor, all working to really racket up the anticipation on our end. “Killing Them Softly”, which also stars Bella Heathcote, will be released on October 19th. The first trailer, via Moviefone, can be viewed below.
