Doctor Who the Movie?

Who in the world wants a big screen adaptation of the BBC hit, Doctor Who? Well, apparently Sony does. In the midst of the famous hacking scandal it has allegedly emerged that talk of a movie has been flying around since January 2014.According to the sources, Sony is eager to green light a big screen adventure but the BBC and the current Show Runner, Steven Moffat simply don't want to commit at this moment in time. In a recent interview Moffat said: "We’re talking one of the biggest TV shows in the world. It can’t just be a medium-size movie—it’s gotta be a colossal movie,” Moffat added. “I’ve sat with people, saying, ‘Okay, explain to me how it’s going to work.’ And nobody has an answer."The Ninth Series of the hit show will debut this year starring current Doctor, Peter Capaldi.

Jurassic World Trailer

Some fans will be overjoyed to know that they can expect a new trailer for the upcoming Jurassic World this coming Monday 20th April.
The fourth entry to the 1990's sensation will be produced by original series helmer, Steven Spielberg. This time though, the directors chair has been saved for Safety Not Guaranteed director, Colin Trevorrow.
Unlike this years return to a galaxy far far away, fans will be disheartened to know that the original main cast will not be returning to the series,
"I know a lot of fans want to see the original characters back. They’re iconic. But I respect those actors too much to shoehorn them into this story for my own sentimental reasons. Jurassic Park isn’t about the bad luck of three people who keep getting thrown into the same situation." says Trevorrow. 
This decision is very much to be respected and gives hope that the story, the core of the movie, is being well looked after. Maybe.

[BREAKING] Trailer of "The Butler" Released!

What is that we hear? Why, it's the sound of a million Oscars, judging by the credit list sequence at the end of the new trailer for the upcoming drama "The Butler". (Trailer Below)



The cast list, Forest Whitaker, Oprah Winfrey, Cuba Gooding Jr. Robin Williams, Alan Rickman, Jane Fonda, John Cusack, the list goes on, is definitely the reason for those sounds of a million Oscars that we hear, but whether the film will be as successful in that department as it's stellar casting, is another issue.

The film which follows the career of a White House butler (Whitaker) as he serves through eight Presidencies over 34 years is released August 16th in the US.

Is this another "Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close"? A film that, although a good one,  has been solely designed and manufactured in such a way that it is sure for success during awards season? Or is it simply such a powerful and amazing script, that the worlds most incredible actors have leapt in for a piece of such a wonderful project.

Only time will tell, we enjoyed the trailer and look forward to reviewing "The Butler" in the near future.

Mrs. Doubtfire 2?

[UPDATE] Rest in Peace, Robin.

According to director Chris Columbus, there is currently a lot of talk flying around over at 20th Century Fox, concerning a sequel to one of the most successful comedies of the 1990's. During an interview with  "Huff Post Live", the Harry Potter and Home Alone director let slip on a few details about the long on/off sequel. 

To paraphrase, Columbus says "We're talking about a sequel to Mrs. Doubtfire, We've talked about it with Robin Williams, and the studio is interested in it. The thing that fascinates me about a sequel to Mrs. Doubtfire is with most actors who create an iconic character like Mrs. Doubtfire, when you come back and do that character, well, you're twenty years older so, you're not going to look the same. The cool thing with Mrs. Doubtfire is there's a character, there's a woman, who is actually going to look exactly as she did in 1995. So I look forward to seeing that trailer. I love that concept and there's no CGI. So we just need to make absolutely certain that the story is a good emotionally strong story, that there's a reason for telling it, it's not like Big Momma's House or something. It has to be as emotional and as funny." (See interview clip below)



Not much has been mentioned about the sequel since Robin Williams & Co rejected the attempts of Bonnie Hunt whom wrote a screenplay involving the character (Daniel Hillard/Mrs. Doubtfire) moving onto a college campus to keep an eye on his/her daughter. 
Williams who is set to return to the small screen in the upcoming comedy series "The Crazy Ones" opposite Sarah Michelle Gellar, has frequently said that if it's not going to be done right, it shouldn't be done at all and, reading Columbus' quote, the inclusion of the word "Emotional" and the phrase "It's not like Big Momma's House" are certainly strong signs that the crew may be putting in some actual effort into making a sequel that isn't merely tired old jokes that will make a little money, although I'm sure the dollar signs are an added incentive.

This is in very early stages and the long awaited Mrs. Doubtfire sequel has been left on the cutting room floor many times before. Who knows? Maybe they'll do a good job, however, one can't quite help but think that the 1995 classic, departed with an utterly perfect ending.

Final Trailer - Monsters University!

It's not breaking news that the world will be reacquainted to Mike and Sulley in this summers Monsters University, the upcoming prequel to 2001's Pixar hit, Monsters Inc.

See the final trailer below:

         

The feature sees the pleasant return of Billy Crystal and John Goodman in the starring roles, it also introduces a huge mix of characters including voices by Alfred Molina (Spider-Man 2), Charlie Day (It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia), a rumoured cameo from Kelsey Grammar (Frasier) and surprisingly, Dame Helen Mirren as the hard up university Dean, Dean Hardscrabble.

Monsters University graces UK screens July 12th and hopefully it will follow in the footsteps of the Toy Story sequels and blow audiences out of the water.
