Two More for Thor: New Posters Complete the Set : HeyUGuys–UK Movie / Film Blog

Textface alert for these two new posters for Marvel’s Thor movie, completing the set which began earlier in the day withthese faceposters featuring Chris Hemsworth and Anthony Hopkins.

Natalie Portman and Idris Elba are pushed both front and centre for these images, and there’s a quiet momentum building for Branagh’s film, though how much it permeates the audience unfamiliar with the comic book is unclear– these posters are striking enough but will they help draw the crowds in the same way the first Iron Man film did?

Thor is directed byKenneth Branaghand Chris Hemsworth as the title character alongsideNatalie Portman, Anthony Hopkins, Kat Dennings, Idris Elba, Stellan Skarsgård, Ray Stevenson and Rene Russo.

We can expect to see it in the UK 28th April 2011.

Synopsis: Thor, a powerful but arrogant warrior, is sent down to Earth has punishment for reigniting a reckless war. But after a dangerous villain from his world sends the darkest forces of Asgard to invade Earth, the hammer-wielding Thor will learn what it takes to be a true hero in order to save mankind.

Here they are,Moviewebhad‘em first.

I’m actually hoping that this is a subtle tease for Branagh’s own stylistic preference for Thor– that this is how the film will look when it appears in cinemas,

But that probably won’t happen. Shame.

Meek’s Cutoff UK Trailer& Poster : HeyUGuys–UK Movie / Film Blog

Soda Pictures have released the official UK trailer and poster for acclaimed western-drama Meek’s Cutoff.

Directed by Kelly Reichardt(Wendy and Lucy), the film starsMichelle Williams(Blue Valentine), Brian Greenwood (Star Trek),Paul Dano(LittleMiss Sunshine), Shirley Henderson (Marie Antoinette) and Zoe Kazan(Fracture).

It’s 1845, and Stephen Meek (Greenwood) is a boastful, rough-hewn wilderness guide who has been hired by three families who want to start new lives on the other side of Oregon’s Cascade Mountains. Meek constantly tells his charges that he knows the Oregon Trail like the back of his hand, but whenthey veer off for a shortcut he says is foolproof, they soon find themselves in forbidding territory, without water and with Indians on the horizon. While the men of the party travel with Meek, their wives are made to follow them in a separate wagon, and Emily Tetherow (Williams), the strong-willedwife of Solomon Tetherow (Patton), begins openly questioning Meek’s competence among the other women, especially her friend Millie Gately (Kazan). While making their way through the wilderness, the party happens upon a Cayuse Indian (Rondeaux); Meek captures the Indian and proposes they kill him,but Emily bravely speaks up for him, believing he has the right to live and perhaps the knowledge to lead them safely over the mountains.

Meek’s Cutoff will be released in the UK on April 15.

The First image of Shia LaBeouf in The Wettest County in the World : HeyUGuys–UK Movie / Film Blog

John Hillcoat’s latest movie, The Wettest County in the World has somewhat of a dream cast attached which includes the likes ofGary Oldman,Mia Wasikowska,Tom Hardy,Shia LaBeouf,Guy Pearce, Jason Clarke, and Jessica Chastain.

SlashFilmgive us more information on the movie which was apparently scheduled to start shooting last year then died, but as this image of Shia La Beouf and possible co-stars proves, the movie is alive and well and is current filming as I type.

Plot: In 1928, a pair of thieves accost Bondurant’s real life great-uncle Forrest at his Franklin County, Va., restaurant. They’re after a large cache of bootlegging money and end up cutting Forrest’s throat. The story of his survival and his trek to a hospital 12 miles away has taken on mythical proportions by the time SherwoodAnderson arrives in Franklin County in 1934 to research a magazine piece on the area’s prolific moonshiners. Soon after Anderson’s arrival, two anonymous men appear at the same hospital, one with legs meticulously shattered from ankle to hip, the other one castrated, with the by-products of the deed deposited in a jar of moonshine. The arc of the story lies between the attack on Forrest and that on the two men.

This first image comes fromShiantology, a site dedicated to all thing La Beouf!

Jason Schwartzman Joins Wes Anderson’s Moonrise Kingdom : HeyUGuys–UK Movie / Film Blog

It will come as no surprise to fans of Anderson’s and Schwartzman’s thatthe latter has joined Anderson’s new movie, Moonrise Kingdom.

Schwartzman’s acting debut saw him take the lead in Anderson’s second film, Rushmore, which, like all of Anderson’s films, is something of a cult favourite. The two have since worked together on The Darjeeling Limited, which Schwartman also helped to write, and on 2009’s Fantastic Mr. Fox, and their pairing over the years has been incredibly successful. The two clearly must have a great connection with each other, having started their careers much at the same time together, and there is every reason to expect that Moonrise Kingdom will be another Anderson success.

Schwartzman was last seen on the big screen in Scott Pilgrim vs. The World as the last of Ramona Flowers’ boyfriends, he has since been seen on HBO in Bored To Death, playing the lead in a TV series alongside Zach Galifianakis (whose name I always need to double- (okay, triple-)check I’ve spelt right) and Ted Danson.

Moonrise Kingdom has already got an impeccably strong cast lined up for itself, with Bruce Willis, Edward Norton, Frances McDormand, Tilda Swinton, and Anderson-favourite Bill Murray attached to star too.The Guardianhave a bit more to say on the plot:

“Moonrise Kingdom is a 60′s set tale which revolves around two young lovers who take off from their New England hometown causing friends and family to embark on a search for them. Willis, according to previous reports, will play the town sheriff, who’s also having an affair with the missing girl’s mother (a role pencilled for McDormand), while Norton has his eye on the part of a scout master. Murray will play the girl’s father.”

I am a really big fan of all of Wes Anderson’s films to date, and I truly can’t wait to see how Moonrise Kingdom turns out. It certainly has potential based on that plot, and given that Anderson will be at the helm with such a terrific cast to work with, at the very least I can see it taking a strong position in my Top 10 of 2012.

Anderson has co-written the script with Roman Coppola (son of Francis Ford Coppola), and filming is to begin in the coming months in Rhode Island. With Owen Wilson’s schedule currently looking relatively light, mostly filled with upcoming animated film Turkeys and David Frankel-directed The Big Year, I am hopeful – expectant, even – that Wilson will be confirmed for Moonrise Kingdom before long. Having starred in all six of Anderson’s feature films todate, it just wouldn’t seem right without him.
