Party Like It’s 2049 With The New Trailer For BLADE RUNNER

Blade Runner 2049 certainly has my attention. I’m not wholly sold on the idea that we need a sequel to Ridley Scott‘s original, but the casting of Ryan Gosling and the return of Harrison Ford make you take notice. This is being sold on [...]

Ryan Gosling & Harrison Ford On The Run In New BLADE RUNNER 2049 Trailer

I was sceptical when a Blade Runner sequel was first announced. Hell, I’m still sceptical, but I can’t deny my curiosity factor nor that Blade Runner 2049 looks great. This looks wonderful on a visual level and who doesn’t want to [...]

Oscars 2017: The Winners At The 89th Academy Awards – And That Big Mix-Up!

It’s highly likely the 89th Academy Awards wouldn’t have been particularly memorable it hadn’t been for the major mix-up with the climatic announcement for Best Picture. However, somehow the folks from PricewaterhouseCoopers [...]

Oscars 2017: A Full List Of Nominations; Hollywood Goes Gaga For LA LA LAND

La La Land leads the charge at this year’s Academy Awards. The musical scored 14 nominations, equally the record held by All About Eve and Titanic. Damien Chapelle’s musical is the one to beat this year and it’s likely it’ll [...]

Full Nomination List For The 2017 EE BAFTA Awards

It’s that time of year again – Bafta time! 2016 had a good selection of films, but La La Land seems to be the big movie this year at the British Academy Film Awards, racking up an impressive 11 nominations. There’s always talk of [...]

Ryan Gosling & Harrison Ford In The First Trailer For BLADE RUNNER 2049

This first ‘announcement’ (read: teaser trailer) for Denis Villeneuve’s Blade Runner 2049 leans heavily on Ridley Scott’s 1982 original. It has the same sort of visuals and slow paced tone that has made Scott’s film a science fiction [...]

Look To The Future With BLADE RUNNER 2049

We all kind of guessed that Denis Villeneuve’s Blade Runner follow-up wouldn’t be called Blade Runner 2 (numbered sequels are so passé) and now we know that this sequel to Ridley Scott’s iconic science fiction film will be [...]

Denis Villeneuve’s ARRIVAL Is Giving Off A Strong Contact/Sphere Vibe

Movies In Focus is getting a really strong late 1990s Warner Bros. sci-fi vibe from Denis Villeneuve‘s Arrival. I’m getting hints of Robert Zemeckis’ Contact and notes of Barry Levinson’s Sphere. I really dig both [...]

BLADE RUNNER Sequel Gets A Curious Release Date

A Blade Runner sequel is a curious proposition – and so is a January 12, 2018 release date. January/February is generally regarded as the box office doldrums (although Deadpool recently put that idea to rest), so it’s odd that such a high [...]

Chasing The Dragon: Drugs On Film

Denis Villeneuve’s Sicario, coming to Blu-ray, DVD and digital platforms from February 1st, 2016 courtesy of Lionsgate Home Entertainment, is a visceral, unflinching portrayal of the war against drugs. Critically lauded and impossible to tear your [...]

Everybody Runs: Ryan Gosling In Talks To Star In BLADE RUNNER Sequel

You have to hand it to Ryan Gosling – he’s an actor who has pretty much declined the opportunity to star in big budget tentpole pictures throughout his career. Sure, he has a things like The Notebook and Gangster Squad in his filmography but [...]

BLADE RUNNER 2: Harrison Ford Starring, Ridley Scott Producing And Denis Villeneuve Is Directing

I think we can all agree that a Blade Runner sequel is unnecessary – but that’s not to say another step into Ridley Scott’s dystopian future is unwelcome. The first film was self contained and the story appeared to be told, so I hope that [...]

Hugh Jackman & Jake Gyllenhaal Take PRISONERS

It feels like the film Prisoners has been in development for decades – although it’s only been a few years. However, in this time everyone from Leonardo DiCaprio to Christian Bale by way of Mark Wahlberg has been attached to the project and then [...]
