CILLIAN MURPHY JOINS
In casting news today, people, the latest one to join the hunky cast of new epic adventure IN THE HEART OF THE SEA is Irish star Cillian Murphy. Ron Howard directed movie adaptation of Nathaniel Philbrick book already has Chris Hemsworth and Benjamin Walker! The book follows famous ship Essex which served as an inspiration for Herman Melville's MOBY DICK. "Deadline" reports that Murphy will play Matthew Joy, second mate on the whale ship Essex. Citing reports of cannibals in the Society Islands, Joy and first mate Owen Chase (Chris Hemsworth) convince first time Captain Pollard (Benjamin Walker) to sail to South America after an enraged sperm whale rams and sinks the Essex, leaving 21 crew members adrift in small boats, 3,000 miles from land.
FIRST PICS SHOW A GROWN UP HICCUP
One of the very special cinematic treats today are the lovely first pictures showing our favourite heroes Hiccup and Astrid in HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON 2! As you remember the end of the beloved animated blockbuster which earned hundreds of millions of dollars a few years ago had seen Hiccup a hero left without his leg which made him similar to his friend dragon Toothless. New pictures show Hiccup as a grown up teenager and another new thing are dragon races which have become popular on his island in the meantime. In the sequel, Hiccup and Toothless, who spend their time going on journeys and adventures, will discover a cave that is home to hundredsof wild new dragons and the mysterious Dragon Rider. They will have to do everything to protect the peace in their land. The film is supposed to hit theatres June next year with Gerard Butler, Jay Baruchel, America Ferera, Craig Ferguson lending their voices to our heroes again!

In the Heart of the Sea sounds terrifying!! I don't need zombies to scare me, just put me in a little boat in the ocean with huge animals trying to sink me and I'm gonna have a mental breakdown. :P
ReplyDeleteAnd I still haven't seen How to Train Your Dragon. No, I don't know what's wrong with me...
I'm guessing you didn't enjoy LIFE OF PI then :)
DeleteOh, you must must must, it is one of the best animated films ever! Ever!
Oh, did you just add that poster of Legolas? Ooh, Elvish awesomeness. :)
DeleteThranduil comes before Legolas, you know :) You know nothing of Elven court rules, pftttt..... Thranduil is Legolas' dear Daddy :)
DeleteI tried to train a dragon once, it just kept eating everything... good thing is my neighbors don't bother me...
ReplyDeleteI hear you, had the same problems with my dragons.... but they do come in handy during winter when it's cold and you have no matches ....
Delete"In the Heart of the Sea" should lend itself to some great special effects. Let's hope it goes deeper than that, though.
ReplyDeleteit will be a deep drama since they will be stuck in the sea and all the worst human traits will come to surface
DeleteI have to admit Hiccup and Astrid are cute as buttons!!
ReplyDeletethey're the best animated characters ever!
DeleteAny way you can link your picture of your cute toes and snazzy flip flops to my party? I'd love to have you included!
ReplyDeleteLove the long blond braid on her...reminds me of Rapunzel! :)
Only if I upload them to some picsharing site and give you the link :) Or you can use that one which I gave you back then :)
DeleteWe do love Elven hairdos!
I wish Jackson would stop adding LOTR characters in the hobbit.
ReplyDeleteI wish he would not :P I don't like dirty little hobbitses and dwarves so I'm overly happy with these Elven additions :)
DeleteAck, the trailer for THE DESOLATION OF SMAUG looks awesome. Orlando's back. YUM!!!
ReplyDeleteAlso, super excited for HTTYD2. Love Hiccup and Astrid.
two of our fave films getting sequels :) Speaking of sequels I will have news on tones of new ones tomorrow :)
DeleteIn the Heart of the Sea looks good and I definitely want to see How to Train Your Dragon 2. I loved the first one :)
ReplyDeleteit was such a delightful animated film, one of the most heartwarming ones ever!
DeleteI'm so excited for How to Train Your Dragon 2. It looks amazing!
ReplyDeleteshould be really fun! Welcome to HOLLYWOOD SPY, sister, hope to see you here often :)
DeleteHow to Train Your Dragon 2 looks like another great movie. And Empire really sounds good, too.
ReplyDeleteThank you, milady, glad you like the projects :)
DeleteI love all of this, but hate to have to wait a whole year for Dragon! Guess I'll just content myself with a Netflix re-viewing of the first film. *Sighs*
ReplyDeletele sigh, that's the problem with HOLLYWOOD SPY :) We announce things years ahead :)
DeleteLove that poster!!! Elves definitely rock :)
ReplyDeletewe love them so......
DeleteMy kids enjoyed the first How to Train Your Dragon. I bet they'd like the new one!
ReplyDeletethey will adore it, I'm sure, like I will :)
DeleteSaw Hobbit previews this weekend at the theater.
ReplyDeletewasn't it amazing?
DeleteLoved How To Train Your Dragon I...
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting my blog!
Cheers!
Linda :o)
be welcome, Linda, hope to see you here often :)
DeleteCillian. Yes!
ReplyDeletewe do like him, he is very expressive
DeleteLooking forward to both movies.
ReplyDeleteCillian kinda scares me. He has such a sharp face. Probably why he's always a villain.
He almost never played villains. Maybe in two movies (one of them that horrid dark crap) but those were American ones, in all of his best ones (The European ones) he played good guys - THE WIND THAT SHAKES THE BARLEY, BREAKFAST ON PLUTO etc.
DeleteI'm not as excited about the Hobbit as you'd think. The book however is AWESOME.
ReplyDeleteand a huge cheer for How to Train Your Dragon 2!!!
I'm excited because of all the Elves in it :)
DeleteCheer indeed!
I never heard about "Train your Dragon I" !!
ReplyDeleteIf I've understood, the Desolation of Smaug is a movie about the Elves ?
strange...
It seems that P.J. want to repair all the errors and "forgotten" parts he have done in LoTR : in the new trilogy, he prefer to add a lot of characters even if they don't exist in the Tolkien's script !!!!
pathetic!
(+: Dezz, my dear, what's about the "hobbites" or something like that? I didn't heard of them...)
Nice one Sam, made me laugh!
DeleteI'm happy with that !
Deleteenough for having a good day, thanks!
"Hobbitses" is what Gollum calls the Hobbits - "dirty little Hobbitses, we don't like them....." :)
DeleteI adore all the Elves in the film and they're the reason I'm extremely excited about it, unlike the first film which I didn't really like.
Love those Elves! I cannot wait for this movie.
ReplyDeleteCillian is just so ethereal looking. And I of course can't wait for this movie as I love Hemsworth...My favorite blond.
I will pee my elven pants from excitement :)
DeleteLOL!
