It’s weekend, so I figured we’d see some first look images of upcoming movies that are either completed or still in the works. Courtesy of the awesome Collider, the movie blog that visited the recent American Film Market ‘09, a venue where film buyers from around the world come annually to buy movies and also pre-buy films in development. This is where a part of the business aspect of the film industry comes into play so studios would show off stills and synopsis from their new gigs. There’s the new HELLRAISER , Paul W.S. Anderson’s THE LONG GOOD FRIDAY and more, more, more. You can see the rest OVER THERE but I’ve included a few right here, check ‘em all out after this jump… Read the rest of this entry »

We previously saw official stills that showed actor Aaron Johnson (the upcoming Kick-Ass) as young John Lennon but looked more like Buddy Holly. The trailer for the biopic NOWHERE BOY has hit the web, which you can watch using the media player below and in one quick scene you’d see Lennon wanting to have that Buddy Holly look. I guess if you’re an aspiring rock star and in need of a hero, you can’t go wrong with looking up to Holly.
Nobody in this movie looks the part, not even actor Thomas Sangster could resemble or at least impersonate Paul McCartney, this only means that they’re going to have work twice as hard to prove themselves worthy of playing these icons.
TWC was supposed to distribute NOWHERE BOY to U.S. audience later this year but plans changed and it might arrive early next year instead. The script was written by scribe Matt Greenhalgh who penned the music biopic Control about singer Ian Curtis, the frontman of Joy Division.

It’s been slightly more than a year since the announcement that director Sam Taylor Wood is making an adaptation of NOWHERE BOY that chronicles John Lennon in early years. The script was written by scribe Matt Greenhalgh who penned the music biopic Control about singer Ian Curtis, the frontman of Joy Division.
I thought Paul Dano would be perfect to play Lennon but Aaron Johnson (the upcoming Kick-Ass) won the role. And now, via The Playlist, take a look at these first look photos of NOWHERE BOY, plus the movie’s small poster. NOWHERE BOY premieres at London Film Festival, TWC was supposed to distribute it to U.S. audience later this year but plans changed and it might arrive early next year instead. I’ll watch the movie out of respect for one of the greatest songwriters that ever lived but the only thing I don’t like about this is.. They made Johnson/Lennon look more like a cross between Buddy Holly and Cillian Murphy, you’ll see what I mean when you check out the rest of the images after this jump… Read the rest of this entry »
