New Films, New Options, New Rumours....

[J Riff]

Just watched the new Evil Dead. Not impressed. Not worthy. Not Groovy.

 

[Droflet]

Thanks for the warning, J Riff. I strongly suspected that this movie would suffer from remakeitis (the insistence of studios to make crap out of classics). I shall not waste my time. Ta.

Frankenstein's Army​

* No spoiler's movie trailer *​

Frankenstein's Army : second teaser trailer - YouTube​

If anyone is looking for a new wild and weird zombie/monster flick? Look no further, this movie was a freaky trip into hell. I showed this trailer, because the original preview exposed way too much of the film (which is in color).​

Knight's of Badassdom may finally be getting a release date. The working version was shown at Comic Con in 2011. It was voted into the top 3 out of more than 80 movies viewed.

My Films To Watch 2014 list has a new entry!

Edge of Tomorrow, starring Tom Cruise as a soldier stuck in a time loop, forced to fight a deadly battle against an alien invasion over and over again. Also starring Emily Blunt. Due out June 2014.

Groundhog Troopers? Looks like it could be fun.

 

[Dave]

Groundhog Troopers?

That's good! Very good Lenny

 

[Lenny]

Oooh! Ooooh! Oooooh!!

Interstellar due for release next November (2014), is the new film from Christopher Nolan, co-written with his brother, Jonathan. Not much is known about it, but it is rumoured to be about a team of scientists who travel vast distances, and possibly into alternate dimensions, through newly discovered wormholes. What we do know is that the teaser definitely gives the impression that it's a space film about pioneers, and that the screenplay is based upon the theoretical work of Kip Thorne, an American theoretical physicist with research interests in gravitational physics and astrophysics.

To be honest, though, I'm not too fussed what it's about. It's an original science fiction film from the Nolan brothers. What more do I need?

 

[AE35Unit]

Nolan brothers? Never heard of them. Ive heard of the sisters however...

 

[Lenny]

You'll know their work. They both collaborated on Memento, The Prestige, The Dark Knight, and The Dark Knight Rises, and Christopher Nolan wrote and directed Batman Begins and Inception (and also directed Insomnia, starring Al Pacino and Robin Williams).

A small body of work so far, but it's all of a high quality.

 

[AE35Unit]

Ah yes. I know those films!

"ONE YEAR FROM NOW"

Is that the plot or the release date?

 

[Lenny]

Release date - 7th November 2014.

 

[Dave]

And Jonathan Nolan created Person of Interest.

300: Rise of an Empire

It's out already!

 

[Foxbat]

I see Winter's Tale is doing the rounds right now. I loved the book but this film is getting a pretty mixed reception so I'll wait for it on DVD.

 

[Lenny]

New trailer for Christopher Nolan's Interstellar! This time with added plot:

 

[svalbard]

Really looking forward to that one.

 

[Lenny]

Oh boy, this looks like fun!

Automata, a Sci-Fi thriller starring Antonio Banderas (from IMDB):

Jacq Vaucan, an insurance agent of ROC robotics corporation, routinely investigates the case of manipulating a robot. What he discovers will have profound consequences for the future of humanity.

It looks like I, Robot meets Blade Runner, set in the bad part of the city from Artificial Intelligence (just without gigolobot Jude Law).

HD trailer, and some more on the story, at Yahoo! Movies, who also report a 10th October release (for the US, I guess).
