MUSIC VIDEO: David Bowie – “The Next Day”

May 8th, 2013 Leanne Cushing

David Bowie has done it again with another amazing music video; this time with the help of actors Marion Cotillard and Gary Oldman. Billboard reports that Bowie conceived and wrote the premise of the video which has an Adult-Only YouTube rating.

The video features Bowie in Christ-like garb, Oldman as a priest and Cotillard as a troubled girl with “holy” hands. The video was shot by Floria Sigismondi, who directed the last Bowie video with Tilda Swinton that was released in February.

The video is the third release and title track to Bowie’s newest album, The Next Day, which …

Michael Keaton to join RoboCop Remake

August 30th, 2012 Dane Sager

Deadline is reporting that Michael Keaton is taking over the role of the evil CEO from Hugh Laurie in Jose Padilha’s remake of Paul Verhoeven ‘s ultra-violent classic “RoboCop”.

He will be joining a cast that already includes Samuel L. Jackson, Gary Oldman, and Joel Kinnaman as the titular robotic police officer.

WATCH: New Dark Knight Rises TV Spot

May 29th, 2012 Grace Duffy

With just under two months to go until Christopher Nolan’s behemoth conclusion to the Dark Knight trilogy hits cinema screens, the marketing campaign is stepping up a notch with a new TV spot. This 30-second clip uses mainly the same footage as the theatrical trailer, with a few chilling additions including Sir Michael Caine’s Alfred telling Bruce Wayne (Christian Bale), “You’re not Batman anymore.” The breakneck pace, chaotic crowd scenes, and frenetic editing also give a further indication as to the extent of the carnage Tom Hardy’s ruthless Bane will bring to bear on Gotham.

April 25th, 2012 James Shotwell

Shia LaBeouf and Tom Hardy are a pair of criminal brothers who become feared outlaws in Prohibition-era America in this the first trailer for Lawless.

The story follows the Bondurant brothers, a pair of Southern bootleggers who find themselves the targeted by crooked Southern authorities out for a share of the profits. Gary Oldman, Jessica Chastain, and Guy Pearce round out the cast.

MOVIE REVIEW: Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy

November 30th, 2011 James Shotwell

Film: Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy
Director: Tomas Alfredson
Starring: Gary Oldman, Colin Firth, Tom Hardy

Those in America will have the benefit of watching this without the shadow of a masterly 1970s adaptation by the BBC clouding their vision. For many in Europe, Alec Guinness (he of Obi-Wan fame) had turned in the definitive portrayal of John Le Carré’s fabled spy creation George Smiley, so much so that even a respected and versatile actor such as Gary Oldman had his work cut out. Oldman has, however, proved a reliable and deserving choice for the part, turning in an outstanding performance …

MOVIE TRAILER: Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy

June 30th, 2011 James Shotwell

Before Michael Bay made it a pre-requisite that every action film be as outrageous as possible, there used to be a fine art in filmmaking known as “spy films.” Sure a few good ones have come in recent years, but as a whole, the craft of subtlety has not exactly been a hit in recent pop culture.

This will (hopefully) change later this year when Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy arrives in theaters. Directed by a man I would honestly bow to, Tomas Alfredson (Let The Right One In), the film stars Gary Oldman, Colin Firth, Tom Hardy, and …
