You know what's gone regrettably out of fashion? Action movies centered around a pair of mismatched, contentious heroes who simultaneously love and hate one another.
Luckily, 2 Guns looks determined to bring this kind of buddy-cop actioner back into style, with Denzel Washington and Mark Wahlberg handling this two-hander. Universal Pictures has zigged rather than zagged, opting to drop an extended 2 Guns trailer, theatrical poster, and five official images all in one go.
With but a week until the Evil Dead remake hits theaters nationwide, a new extended TV spot and a not-safe-for-work clip from "the most terrifying film you will ever experience" have landed online.
Hey, ass-kickers, Universal Pictures is dropping yet more promotional nuggets for this summer's Kick-Ass sequel.
Today brings three new Kick-Ass 2 bits, from a red band international trailer to character posters for Hit-Girl and Motherfucker, played respectively by Chloe Grace Moretz and Christopher Mintz-Plasse.
For his latest feature, this Friday's Tyler Perry's Temptation, writer-director-producer Tyler Perry opts not to star.
The prolific filmmaker hangs up his Madea wig and fake bosoms for this new film, the first of his efforts in which he hasn't appeared since 2010's For Colored Girls. In Perry's films, the presence of the chainsaw-wielding sassy elderly woman frequently offsets heavy drama with the antics of his most famous creation.
Tyler Perry's Temptation, however, is concerned principally with morality and straightforward drama. Based on his own play Temptation: Confessions of a Marriage Counselor, Temptation concerns Judith, a levelheaded Washington D.C. marriage counselor who has long been married to her reliable childhood sweetheart. When Harley, the wealthy head of a social media empire, enters her office, however, Judith is unprepared for his charms. With his decadent lifestyle of drugs and private jets, Harley sets about seducing Judith, inducting her into his souped-up world regardless of the consequences, which prove devastating for Judith.
Jurnee Smollett-Bell (Television's Friday Night Lights) stars as Judith, with Robbie Jones (Hurricane Season) as Harley and Lance Gross (Meet the Browns) as Judith's husband Brice. The supporting cast also includes Vanessa Williams (Television's Desperate Housewives), Ella Joyce (Our Family Wedding), Brandy Norwood (Television's The Game), and Kim Kardashian (Television's Keeping Up With the Kardashians).
At the Los Angeles press day for Tyler Perry's Temptation, Perry himself spoke with a group of entertainment journalists from around the world. IAR was on hand to hear Perry discuss his decision not star, the film's exploration of morality, his own regrets, the depiction of drug use and sex, working with Kardashian, marriage, and what's next.
Listen, if massive, Godzilla-style lumbering beasts ascended from the Pacific Ocean to wreak havoc on humanity, the best way to fight them would be with equally huge robots. It's just common sense.
It's also common sense that those mechs would be unspeakably cool, because why not? The latest in a series of posters showing the robots of Guillermo del Toro's Pacific Rim show off two 'bots, called Jaegers, representing China and Australia.
Clark and Ellen Griswold will ride again!
That may be an overstatement; it looks unlikely that Clark or Ellen will do any riding in the reboot/sequel Vacation, but Chevy Chase and Beverly D'Angelo are in talks to join the comedy, meaning that we'll once again see Clark bumbling and Ellen being way, way out of Clark's league.
Marc Webb is one of a very small group of directors entrusted with a massively expensive superhero franchise. As he's been toiling away on The Amazing Spider-Man sequel set for May 2, 2014, he's also become one of an even smaller group of such director who extensively utilize Twitter, keeping a steady chatter about their films going.
Most of returning helmer Webb's updates consist of exceedingly teasery pictures or simply uncommon looks at the making of a big, big movie. But today, he revealed that B.J. Novak will appear in The Amazing Spider-Man 2.
Judy Greer is a phenomenally talented actress, a beautiful woman with surgical comedic instincts.
She'll be putting those instincts to use in her first major motion-capture role as Cornelia, the lead female chimpanzee in next year's Dawn of the Planet of the Apes.
Dylan McDermott has a career that most actors would kill for having appeared on several successful television series and films over the better part of the last twenty-five years.
The actor first gained notoriety for appearing in such popular movies as In the Line of Fire with Clint Eastwood, Steel Magnolias opposite Julia Roberts, and Home for the Holidays directed by Jodi Foster. But it was his role as Bobby Donnell on the long-running series The Practice that made him a household name. Recently he has appeared in a string of successful films including The Campaign, and The Perks of Being a Wallflower, not to mention the hit television series American Horror Story: Murder House, and it’s follow up season American Horror Story: Asylum. Now, McDermott can be seen once again on the big screen playing a pivotal role in the new action film Olympus Has Fallen, which is currently playing in theaters.
The new movie, which was directed by Antoine Fuqua (Training Day), can best be described as “Die Hard in the White House.” The film centers on disgraced former Presidential guard Mike Banning (Gerrard Butler) who finds himself trapped inside the White House in the wake of a terrorist attack. Using his inside knowledge, Banning works with the head of the secret service (Angela Bassett) and the Speaker of the House (Morgan Freeman) to rescue the President (Aaron Eckhart) from his kidnappers. McDermott plays Dave Forbes, a former Secret Service agent now working in the private sector guarding the prime minister of South Korea who may not be as patriotic as he seems.
ATTENTION: SPOILERS AHEAD!!! So if you haven’t seen the film yet and you plan to, you may want to be careful reading the rest of this article.
I recently had a chance to sit down with Dylan McDermott to talk about his work on Olympus Has Fallen, as well as his overall career. The veteran actor discussed the new movie; it’s similarities to Die Hard, why he wanted to be in the film, its amazing cast of actors, the incredible set, training with the Secret Service for In the Line of Fire, working with Gerard Butler and Aaron Eckhart, why America likes their President to be a hero, collaborating with director Antoine Fuqua, his character’s ambiguity, how the film touches on real life issues, and which projects in his impressive career he is personally proud of the most.
With her foul-mouthed attitude and jugular-slicing action chops, Hit-Girl was the breakout character in 2010's Kick-Ass.
It makes perfect sense, then, that a new international trailer for this summer's Kick-Ass 2 centers squarely on Chloe Grace Moretz's return as Mindy MacReady, the pint-sized whirlwind of righteous violence.
Not only that, but a new character poster brings a newbie to the forefront, getting up close and personal with Jim Carrey as Colonel Stars & Stripes.
