Australia was founded as a repository for crooks and criminals — a wretched hive of scum and villainy, like the British Empire’s own Mos Eisley. Of course, that was a long time ago and the Australian national demeanor has since shifted from “kill or be killed” to “live and let live,” but David Michôd’s gritty 2010 drama Animal Kingdom chronicled some of the country’s more modern criminal descendents. In his upcoming sophomore effort, The Rover, the director takes things even further. READ FULL STORY »

IRON-MAN-3

“I’m Tony Stark: I build neat stuff, I got a great girl, and — occasionally — save the world. So why can’t I sleep?”

So begins the newest trailer for Iron Man 3, continuing the film’s promotional march toward gloominess while also giving us longer looks at the franchise’s latest antagonists, Guy Pearce and a ponytailed Ben Kingsley.

In case the morose voiceover didn’t give it away, Iron Man 3 promises to include more explosions, more mayhem, and more frowns. The new trailer is also noticeably lacking in one-liners, while dramatically increasing the amount of time Gwyneth Paltrow spends struggling in a mean-looking metallic harness. Meanwhile, Kingsley is doing a spin on Ben-Kingsley-doing-a-spin-on-Tom-Hardy-as-Bane. There’s even a thing with an airplane exploding. Watch it below.

'Lawless' red-band trailer: Booze, bullets, blood, and bosoms! -- NSFW VIDEO

Tags: , , , , , , ,

Before the Internet, it was nearly impossible to get a true sense of what a hard-R rated movie was like from its trailer, which the MPAA insists must be palatable for all audiences. But thanks to the proliferation of the online red-band trailer — which can only be shown in a movie theatre before R-rated movies, and even that rarely happens — we can get a far more accurate idea of what’s in store for a movie like, say, the upcoming Depression-era thriller Lawless, starring Tom Hardy, Shia LaBeouf, and Jason Clarke as the bootlegging Bondurant brothers. And indeed, the new red-band trailer makes clear the film, which opens Wed., Aug. 29, is chockablock with confrontations both savage and sexy. Check it out below:  READ FULL STORY »

'Prometheus' end credits reveal yet another viral video, and allusions to Nietzsche -- VIDEO

by
Tags: , , ,

If you left Prometheus thinking, “Well, that was certainly intense, but what it was missing was more baffling philosophical exploration into Freidrich Nietzsche’s concept of the Übermensch,” you’re in luck! (Note: SPOILERS follow.)

Eagle-eyed and endlessly patient moviegoers noticed that at the very end of the end credits for Prometheus, a logo for the fictional Weyland Corporation rolled onto the screen, with the tagline “Building Better Worlds Since 10. 11. 12″ and an address for the “corporate timeline” for Weyland Industries. That timeline does indeed note that the company was founded on October 11, 2012, but it’s been available online for a while now. It turns out this end credits bumper was really pointing to a brand new easter egg: READ FULL STORY »

Tom Hardy and Guy Pearce snarl in 'Lawless' -- EXCLUSIVE VIDEO

by
Tags: , , , ,

Tom Hardy may be dismantling the entirety of Gotham this summer as the autotuned supervillain Bane, but in Lawless, his criminal aspirations are a bit more modest. In the Cannes film — directed by The Proposition‘s John Hillcoat — Hardy and his two brothers (Shia LaBeouf, Jason Clarke) are just trying to eke out a living making moonshine for the good hillbilly people of the Virginia hills. That is, until a reptilian-looking Guy Pearce shows up from Chicago threatening a shakedown. Watch the clip below and decide who’s the more daunting foe for Hardy: Batman or Eyebrowless Epicene G-Man. READ FULL STORY »

'Lawless' trailer: Tom Hardy and Shia LaBeouf are hard-boiled bootleggers

by
Tags: , , , , , , ,

Who doesn’t love a good Depression-era moonshiner gangster pic? Previously titled The Wettest County, our first look at John Hilcoat’s film about bootlegger brothers (Tom Hardy, Shia LaBeouf, and Jason Clarke) in Franklin County, Va. features some fabulously outré accents and enough hard-boiled dialogue to turn an ear of corn into whiskey so strong it’d grow hair on a newborn baby’s behind. I’m not entirely sure what that previous sentence is supposed to mean except that I’m already plumb keen on this film. Check out the trailer below: READ FULL STORY »

Guy Pearce rolls with the punches in the first five minutes of 'Lockout' -- VIDEO

Tags: , , , News

If you thought the first five minutes of Haywire offered a lot of talk and not much action, well, you’re a maniac, and boy do we have the movie for you. Feast your eyes on Lockout. The first five face-punching, chopper chasing minutes of Guy Pearce’s latest movie — which should have been called Prison Break Galactica — have been released online.

Molting his indie feathers after Memento, The King’s Speech, and Mildred Pierce, Pearce is blowing smoke rings around his pursuers and positioning himself as a legit action star. Maggie Grace (not seen in the clip) is the young woman Pearce’s Snow must rescue from a space prison (oh yes, a space prison) to clear his name. The clip gives us a glimpse of Pearce’s baddie counterpart, and who better to play him than Prison Break alum and scene-chewing über-thug Peter Stormare? Check it out below. READ FULL STORY »
