Film News Round Up: 15 - 17 Of August

Ah its that time again for another does of your favourite (or horrifying) film news that is winging its way around the web.

Good News






The play is already well known for being wet-yourself-terrifying so some director (James Watkins) has decided to translate that to screen those unable to have seen the play can share that terror. The Woman In Black, although this may be bad news to some fans, has hit the internet with a completely scary trailer. If you are unsure about the storyline, it follows accountant Arthur Kipp (played by Daniel Radcliffe) as he starts a new job in a countryside house. Having only worked there during the day, when one night he misses his coach home, he finds that he should have bolted and ran home than stayed inside that house. I dare you to try sleep tonight after the trailer.


One of the most popular books has hit the screens and new posters were revealed for film We Need To Talk About Kevin. Tossing conversations between her ex husband (John C Reily), Eva (played by Tilda Swinton) opens up about the rocky relationship she had with her son,. All this centres around Kevin's wild shooting spree at his school and Eva is rocked to the core by the series of events. The book by Lionel Shriver itself is heartbreaking and delicate so it will be interesting to see that happen on screen. Take a look at posters with their atmospheric colour change and the moody faces. Boom, its going to be dramatic.



My favourite chubster actress is in hot demand since her incredible performance in Bridesmaids. Melissa McCarthy is now signed up for  ID Theft with Jason Bateman. As Bateman has no idea how to do much else apart from comedy and the title really gives away the premise, ID Theft is just about that, ID Theft. The script is by combination of The Pursuit Of Happyness's Steve Conrad and The Hangover 2's Craig Maizin (who changed the gender.) McCarthy certainly is popular, coming that extra mile from her original home of the Gilmore Girls. Which I loved her in. Bring more McCarthy! 



Bad News




It seems like The Crow curse is affecting the latest production of the remake. (Did I not tell you there was a remake? My bad, I thought it was a bad dream.) Bradley Cooper has flown the nest (which can be good news if you want to look at it that way,) as rockstar Eric Draven. Cooper has signed talks with Alex's Proyas (the first Crow creator, tee-hee) Paradise Lost and The Silver Lining playbook. The role is being offered to youngster Channging Tatum (well no,) and Mark Wahlberg (double no.) Its interesting that this is being made; the first one sadly killed Brandon Lee, ruined Edward Furlongs career (who made The Crow into more of an angry Goth than a tortured vengeance soul) and has spawned a bunch of ridiculous sequels. Including one with Tara Reid.



GAH!!!!

Thats all for today folks. Next one friday :)
