Ewan McGregor ready to work with Danny Boyle on Trainspotting sequel Porno
16 May 2013 4:43 AM, PDT | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
Trainspotting star keen to take part in Danny Boyle's planned film based loosely on Irvine Welsh's book
Ewan McGregor has confirmed his willingness to star in Danny Boyle's planned sequel to the cult 1996 film Trainspotting.
Speaking at a Q&A session following a reunion screening of Trainspotting in London, McGregor said it would be an "extraordinary experience" to reprise the role of Mark Renton, which made his name. Boyle revealed in March that he is planning a sequel that could find its way to the big screen for 2016, the 20th anniversary of the cult film about Edinburgh drug addicts. It will be based loosely on the book Porno by Irvine Welsh, in which the Trainspotting author imagined Renton, Sickboy, Begbie and Spud becoming embroiled in a scheme to raise cash by making a pornographic movie many years after the events of the earlier book.

14 May 2013 1:11 PM, PDT | HeyUGuys.co.uk | See recent HeyUGuys news »
Jennifer Lawrence will be reprising the beloved role of Katniss Everdeen once more later this year in The Hunger Games: Catching Fire, the first of three upcoming sequels that promises to open huge for Lionsgate this November.
The first teaser trailer launched last month, giving us a glimpse of the action and drama we’ve got to look forward to for Everdeen and co. this time around, following the global success of last year’s franchise-starter. And now tonight, the official The Hunger Games: Catching Fire instagram has debuted a new poster with Lawrence front and centre as the young Katniss.
The Hunger Games: Catching Fire begins as Katniss Everdeen has returned home safe after winning the 74th Annual Hunger Games along with fellow tribute Peeta Mellark. Winning means that they must turn around and leave their family and close friends, embarking on a “Victor’s Tour” of the districts. »

Win: 3 blu-ray copies of Life of Pi up for grabs
6 May 2013 7:01 PM, PDT | Shadowlocked | See recent Shadowlocked news »
Keen to continue our recent haul of fantastic competitions, Shadowlocked have teamed up with 20th Century Fox to giveaway three Blu-Ray copies of Ang Lee's Oscar winning epic, Life of Pi.
A film as beautiful as it is enchanting, Life of Pi walked away with Best Director (for Ang Lee) at the major film awards, accompanied closely by Best Cinematography, Original Score and Best Visual Effects. However, most importantly it allowed Ang Lee to finally leave behind the memory of Hulk, his 2003 box-office flop that has followed him as intimately as the destruction the of said green superhero.
With incredible cinematography from Oscar winner Claudio Miranda** (The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, Tron: Legacy) and masterful performances from newcomer Suraj Sharma, Irrfan Khan (The Amazing Spider-Man, Slumdog Millionaire), Rafe Spall (Prometheus, Anonymous) and Gerard Depardieu (Paris, je t’aime, City of Ghosts), the Life of Pi Blu-ray is loaded with additional content, »
Letters: Media studies hit by film charity closure
5 May 2013 4:05 PM, PDT | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
I am appalled to learn that Film Education, the charity that provides curriculum-based teaching resources, teacher training and cinema-based events across the UK, has closed (Report, 23 April). Film Education has been a vital resource for me during seven years heading a media department at an outstanding north London comprehensive girls' school.
Every September I launch the Young Film Critic of the Year Award as part of my induction into the UK film industry and introduction to journalism courses. In October I take my As and A2 students in lesson time to National Schools Film Week, an astonishing network of morning film screenings that take place for a fortnight throughout the whole of Britain.
While my daughter's Lambeth primary class – many of whom have never been to the cinema before – were watching A Shark's Tale in Leicester Square, my As students attended a marketing event on Dear Wendy and my A »

CinemaCon: Fox Launches 'Walter Mitty' Oscar Campaign, Bullock & McCarthy's 'The Heat'
29 April 2013 4:40 PM, PDT | Thompson on Hollywood | See recent Thompson on Hollywood news »
Last year Twentieth Century Fox used its CinemaCon presentation to wow exhibitors with glorious footage from Ang Lee's "Life of Pi," and instantly established the 3-D epic as a major Oscar contender. This year, solo chairman Jim Gianopulos, no longer paired with now-departed Tom Rothman, introduced his upcoming slate with impressive footage from Ben Stiller's ambitious cinematic retelling of the classic James Thurber New Yorker short story, "The Secret Life of Walter Mitty." What's great about this updated story of a daydreamer (played by Stiller) is that the movie allows full rein (like "Slumdog Millionaire") to cut anywhere, anytime, into full-blown fantasies. Where this one seems to depart from the original (and the 1947 Danny Kaye movie) is that it allows our hero to act out his dreams and become a man. At least, that's what I got from the footage! The movie co-stars the always-welcome Kristen Wiig, as plodding »

Why We Love Danny Boyle
24 April 2013 7:13 AM, PDT | AreYouScreening.com | See recent AreYouScreening news »
Whilst the average cinema-goer is no doubt aware of his name, the typical movie buff is most likely familiar with some of Danny Boyle‘s work. His most successful film is Slumdog Millionaire, but he’s also done various other films in the past, including Trainspotting, Sunshine and 127 Hours. He’s not the most prolific of directors, but when he makes a film it is certainly worthy of attention.
This brings us to the recent Trance trailer. Trance, of course, is the latest film by Danny Boyle. Straight away, there are various themes and similarities that make this instantly recognizable as a ‘Boyle movie’. It can easily be argued that all of Boyle’s films have had a strong human and emotional theme. Whilst the likes of Slumdog Millionaire and Trainspotting are prime examples, even Sunshine focuses on the human and emotional aspects of a more unusual situation; the same goes for 127 Hours. »

Movie Review: 'Trance'
17 April 2013 8:00 AM, PDT | GetTheBigPicture.net | See recent Get The Big Picture news »
Starring James MacAvoy, Vincent Cassel, Rosario Dawson
Directed by Danny Boyle
Rated R
Danny Boyle, the director of Trance, really hit the lottery in 2008. That’s when a little movie called Slumdog Millionaire not only made close to $400 million dollars worldwide, but also took home 8 Oscars. To call it a phenomenon might be a slight understatement. But it also took a guy whose career was steady, but still somewhat under the radar, into the stratosphere. Boyle it seems wants to get himself back to that place under the radar. A place where he can make movies that may not garner the interest of most fans of Slumdog Millionaire, the opening ceremony of the London Olympics, Millions or even 127 Hours. I’m more than ok with that, because I like the Boyle who gave us Trainspotting and Shallow Grave.
Trance, Boyle’s newest film, is a slick endeavor, slightly twisted »

Hunger Games: Catching Fire trailer released

Jennifer Lawrence returns to the deadly arena in the latest instalment of Suzanne Collins's sci-fi post-apocalyptic series – this time with ultra-nasty, extra-vicious supergames
Reading on mobile? Watch on YouTube
The Hunger Games was dubbed "the new Twilight" prior to the arrival of Gary Ross's debut instalment on the big screen last year. Yet the film's slick depiction of a post-apocalyptic society in which the "dandyish" 1% thrill to the bloodthirsty televised battles of a group selected from the downtrodden general populace made for surprisingly enticing material.
Now the first full trailer for sequel Catching Fire has been released, debuting last night at the MTV Movie awards, with recent Oscar-winner Jennifer Lawrence once again front and centre as Katniss Everdeen. Having survived the deadly arena and really narked off the powers that be in the first movie, our heroine now finds herself preparing to be paraded round the various districts »

The First Teaser Trailer for The Hunger Games: Catching Fire
15 April 2013 1:01 AM, PDT | HeyUGuys.co.uk | See recent HeyUGuys news »
Following the first film’s astounding success at the global box office last year, this November will see Jennifer Lawrence return as Katniss Everdeen in the highly anticipated sequel, The Hunger Games: Catching Fire.
Francis Lawrence is taking over at the helm this time around. And with a little over seven months on the countdown clock before the film hits, Lionsgate have debuted the first teaser trailer in a big way, at the MTV Movie Awards.
The Hunger Games: Catching Fire begins as Katniss Everdeen has returned home safe after winning the 74th Annual Hunger Games along with fellow tribute Peeta Mellark. Winning means that they must turn around and leave their family and close friends, embarking on a “Victor’s Tour” of the districts. Along the way Katniss senses that a rebellion is simmering, but the Capitol is still very much in control as President Snow prepares the 75th »

Thg: Catching Fire Gets a Teaser Now Available Online: Destroy Katniss!
14 April 2013 8:45 PM, PDT | Alt Film Guide | See recent Alt Film Guide news »
Thg: Catching Fire Gets a Teaser Now Available Online: Get rid of Katniss whichever way you can! The Hunger Games sequel, Catching Fire, now has an online teaser trailer. This year's Best Actress Oscar winner Jennifer Lawrence (for the comedy-drama Silver Linings Playbook) is back as the fearless Katniss Everdeen, the futuristic gladiator who has become a major threat to the system. For what reason? Well, chiefly because Katniss consistently wins her fights. And winning is really an undesirable thing because people worship winners (also known as heroes), and that indicates that the populace will start worshiping Katniss and, as a result, want to emulate her and become winners all -- or something like that. (Make sure to scroll down to take a look at the Thg:cf trailer.) [Pictured above is a closeup of Oscar winner Lawrence as the gladiator Katniss.) "Because of her, they all pose a threat," laments veteran Donald Sutherland's cunning President Snow to Philip Seymour Hoffman's Plutarch Heavensbee. "Because of her, they all think they're invincible." The »

Re-Viewed: Danny Boyle's near-perfect sci-fi masterpiece 'Sunshine'
14 April 2013 1:00 AM, PDT | Digital Spy | See recent Digital Spy - Movie News news »
There's a tiny moment in Danny Boyle's 2007 sci-fi thriller Sunshine in which Michelle Yeoh's biologist finds a tiny green plant growing from the ashes in her spaceship's oxygen-supplying botanical garden that was burnt to a crisp. As Boyle explained to this writer at the time: "It's a very potent image, I think, a regeneration out of the ashes."
The same could be said of the movie itself. Upon release, this tale of a group of scientists trying to save the Earth by reigniting a failing sun failed to shine at the box office or make a significant cultural impact. Yet it was recently described as the Slumdog Millionaire and Trainspotting director's "most misunderstood and underrated film" by influential critic Mark Kermode in his BBC blog.
But why was this British movie, described by this writer's 2007 Digital Spy review as "a fantastically enjoyable film that works our minds, delights »
Ranking the films of Danny Boyle
13 April 2013 5:25 PM, PDT | SoundOnSight | See recent SoundOnSight news »
Ever since his introduction onto the world stage with Shallow Grave, Danny Boyle managed to carve a unique path without having to give in to studio pressures. He is always reinventing himself, always dabbling in new genres and working with new technology – and despite a string of less-noteworthy Hollywood films, Boyle returned in 2008 with Slumdog Millionaire, which went on to win eight Oscars, and 127 Hours in 2010, which was nominated for six. Despite the recent acclaim, Boyle has always created frantic, highly-stylized films with characters often struggling with human vices and weakness. After directing the opening and closing ceremonies of The Olympic games, which nearly a billion people watched, Boyle is back with his latest project Trance, a psychological thriller in which a hypnotherapist helps an art auctioneer recover memories of where he stashed a stolen Goya. With the release of Trance, I asked our staff to list the films of Danny Boyle, »

The best character actors on film

You'll have seen her in We Need To Talk About Kevin, Michael Clayton, The Beach
There are times you feel as if Swinton has made it her mission to eradicate all traces of natural provenance. She's achieved an almost clone-like physical presence: an ageless, androgynous, translucent-skinned human blank, ready to be moulded into whatever role she's assigned. And boy does she get through them. She's been everything from a distressed housewife to the Angel Gabriel; corporate lawyer to Narnian ice queen. But in personality terms, she's the complete opposite of a blank. Malleable though she may be, Swinton has ironically become her own trademark. »
