Box Office

In 2002, Evil Dead director Sam Raimi weaved a web of movies for Tobey Maguire’s fresh-faced nerd Peter Parker turned superhero Spider-Man. Spawning one of the best comic book sequels of all time with Spider-Man 2, and a disastrous third outing (with the best crotch based dancing) in Spider-Man 3, we’d all needed a regeneration for the creepy-crawly hero.

Following the success of Lucy, Luc Besson, the legendary mind behind the likes of Leon and The Fifth Element is back!

All our favourite nostalgia-filled ’70s, ’80s and ’90s shows are very much a part of the zeitgeist right now and with Dax Shepard’s riotous riff on a particular favourite childhood series of mine, “CHiPs,” all set to cruise into cinemas this Friday, March 24, Warner Bros. has unleashed another exclusive clip asking Jon Baker (Shepard) just exactly why he thinks he’s CHPO material …

With the Jonathan Teplitzky-helmed biopic, CHURCHILL poised for a UK and Ireland 16^th June 2017 release, Lionsgate has unveiled the film’s first trailer.

Ahead of an April 7th release date, a brand new trailer has just been released for the Lone Scherfig-helmed World War II-set romatic dramedy THEIR FINEST, having caused a serious stir at various festivals including BFI and Sundance.

Penned by Gaby Chiappe,  Their Finest is an adaptation of Lissa Evans’ Orange Prize longlisted novel of the same name, starring Gemma Arterton as Catrin Cole who finds herself hired by the British Ministry of Information as a “slop” scriptwriter charged with bringing “a woman’s touch” to morale-boosting propaganda films. Her natural flair quickly gets her noticed by dashing movie producer Buckley (Sam Claflin) whose path would never have crossed hers in peacetime. As bombs are dropping all around them, Catrin, Buckley and a colorful crew work furiously to make a film that will warm the hearts of the nation. Although Catrin’s artist husband looks down on her job, she quickly discovers there is as much camaraderie, laughter and passion behind the camera as there is onscreen.

Their Finest also stars an extensive ensemble cast including the likes of Bill Nighy, Jack Huston, Rachael Stirling, Richard E. Grant, Helen McCrory, Jeremy Irons and Eddie Marsan. The film opens in theaters this coming April 7th, 2017 and we’ll leave you with the official trailer below…

Batman has been through the ringer. He has had a countless amount of conceptions from the weird and the whacky to the brooding and emotional; bad films to great films; awful films to genius films. Batman has had some black days and sometimes, really dark grey days.

The stunning UK poster for the Dean Israelite-helmed POWER RANGERS comes out fighting ahead of the film’s March 24th theatrical release.

Bill Kenwright Films and Vertigo Releasing have now released the official trailer and poster for Christopher Menau’s latest film ANOTHER MOTHER’S SON, which relates the true story of Louisa Gould, a largely unsung heroine of the Second World War.

Hot on the heels of Rupture, a particular favourite of mine at last year’s SITGES – International Fantastic Film Festival of Catalonia, if the first look trailer of Lionsgate’s action thriller UNLOCKED is anything to go by, Noomi Rapace’s bad-assery is about to reach a whole new level.

Holy here we LEGO again, as Batman finds himself pitted against The Joker and a whole host of notorious villains in THE LEGO BATMAN MOVIE which swoops into cinemas around the world TODAY.

Since Alice Lowe’s directorial debut, Prevenge, first debuted as the curtain opener for Critic’s Week at the Venice Film Festival, it went on to screen at many a key festival around the world including Toronto, Dinard, Sitges and London. Now, ahead of the film’s February 10th, 2017 release, Kaleidoscope are taking the film, and Lowe, on a 16 venue preview Q&A tour.

Lowe’s pitch black, wryly British comedy follows Ruth, a pregnant woman on a killing spree as her misanthropic unborn baby dictates Ruth’s actions, holding society responsible for the absence of a father. The child speaks to Ruth from the womb, coaching her to lure and ultimately kill her unsuspecting victims. Struggling with her conscience, loneliness, and a strange strain of prepartum madness, Ruth must ultimately choose between redemption and destruction at the moment of motherhood. Lowe is a true triple threat here, having written, directed and acted in the film during her own real-life pregnancy. She also leads a strong British cast including Jo Hartley (Eddie the Eagle), Gemma Whelan (“Game of Thrones”), Kate Dickie (Red Road), Kayvan Novak (“Fonejacker”), Tom Davis (“Murder in Successville”), Dan Skinner (High-Rise), Tom Meeten (The Ghoul) and Mike Wozniak (“Man Down”).

The preview Q&A tour will be visiting the following venues: Lancaster (The Dukes, 16^th Jan), Liverpool (Fact, 17^th Jan), Bath (Little Theatre, 23^rd Jan), Cardiff (Chapter, 24^th Jan), Warwick (Arts centre, 26^th Jan), Birmingham (Electric, 27^th Jan), Glasgow (GFT, 30^th Jan), Edinburgh (Cameo, 31^st Jan), Newcastle (Tyneside, 1^st Feb), Brighton (Duke of Yorks, 5^th Feb), London (BFI Southbank, 6^th Feb / Picturehouse Central, 8^th Feb / Ritzy Brixton & Picturehouse Hackney, 9^th Feb), Sheffield (Showroom, 13^th Feb) and Leeds (Hydepark, 14^th Feb).

Following the advance tour, Prevenge will be released by Kaleidoscope Entertainment on February 10th, 2017. In the meanwhile, we’ll leave you to enjoy the newly-spawned trailer…
