MICHAEL CAINE IN
Two delightful trailers for you today, first one for Michael Caine's heartwarming new drama MR. MORGAN'S LAST LOVE in which he plays a retired philosophy teacher who was left a widower three years ago when he suddenly meets a young Parisian cha cha teacher (played by Clemence Poesy) with whom he will develop a life changing connection! The cast also includes Jason Kirk, who plays Caine's son, and Gillian Anderson and Jane Alexander. The film will start playing in theatres worldwide from August and September and will arrive to North American cinemas in October. The film is directed by Sandra Nettelbeck whom we know as the writer of that deeply moving NO RESERVATIONS movie with Catherine Zeta Jones.

BEN STILLER IN
SECRET LIFE OF WALTER MITTY MAGICAL TRAILER
Check out deeply magical and rather inspiring and unusual trailer for Ben Stiller's new movie THE SECRET LIFE OF WALTER MITTY which hits theatres this Christmas!
It is a movie adaptation of James Thurber's classic story of a day-dreamer who escapes his anonymous life by disappearing into a world of fantasies filled with heroism, romance and action. When his job along with that of his co-worker (Kristen Wiig) are threatened, Walter takes action in the real world embarking on a global journey that turns into an adventure more extraordinary than anything he could have ever imagined. The exquisitely weirdly combined cast also includes Sean Penn, Shirley MacLaine and Patton Oswalt. Stiller both stars and directs the movie.
Michael Caine has looked the same for 50 years! And finally Ben Stiller is back on the big screen. I've missed him!!!
ReplyDeleteAnd such an unusual role for Ben, but I think it could be really special!
DeleteYep, Caine was never actually young :)
two of these stories are gold and one is a nugget... the clue is "oh why"...
ReplyDeletewhat's a nugget, Jeremy?
Deletemany things, but it's meant to be a pooper, stinker...
Deleteis that why McNuggets are served in McDonalds? Because the food stinks there? :PPP
Deleteboo- hiss... boo!
DeleteHoney Boo Boo?
DeleteMichael Caine can really light up a screen, can't he?
ReplyDeleteit does seem like a delightful film :)
DeleteI am such a Walter Mitty myself. :P Loved the clip. The special effects could really make that movie spectacular.
ReplyDeleteand rather unusual! Too bad the cast is off-puttingly weird. But I still like the film based on the trailer. Very fresh.
DeleteThe Secret Life of Walter Mitty looks amazing.
ReplyDeleteThe Michael Caine movie also looks like it'll be good.
two really amazing movies today :)
DeleteMichael Caine great Actor !
ReplyDeleteSECRET LIFE OF WALTER MITTY really good trailer , like it .
Cheers
glad you like both trailers, today, Vincent :)
DeleteI love Michael Caine ;D
ReplyDeleteStiller looks like he can pull this off!
I love the trailers for both~
I will tell hubby about the future apocalyptic ones-he really likes those~
I enjoyed this post!
How are you doing Dezzy?
amazing trailers, today, yes? :)
DeleteHope you are fine, Ella!
I haven't seen a Ben Stiller movie in quite some time. Glad he's back with something that looks pretty good!
ReplyDeletegood and quite unusual for him :) We're used to him in comedies
DeleteWalter Mitty is one of my all time fave short stories. Wondering how they turned it into a full length movie. It looks good.
ReplyDeleteit really does look good, Jay, fingers crossed the whole movie is great
DeleteGood to see Clemence Poecy in a movie again! Promises to be a good film, esp with Michael Caine there. Loved y our interview by the way.

glad you liked the interview, Nutschell :)
DeleteLove the idea of an updated Walter Mitty movie and Ben certainly deems like the perfect guy for the role. Michael Caine's new flick looks very interesting as well, though I hope it does not become like Marlon Brando's Last Tango in Paris. I don't want senior man sex. ;)
ReplyDeleteI don't think Caine ends up with the girl :) his son does, methinks. It's a platonic relationship :)
DeleteOh thank God! LOL I'm horrible, aren't I?
Deletealways have been :PPPP
DeleteLove the last few words on the trailer of MR. MORGAN'S LAST LOVE: 'There's a crack in everything. That's how the light gets in'. What a wonderful saying!
ReplyDeleteit really is truly wonderful, and then he says YOU'RE MY CRACK :)
DeleteHaha! Yes, I know :)
Delete:)
DeleteLast Love looks wondrous.
ReplyDeleteindeed it does, Sandra!
DeleteI remember Poesy as Fleur Delacour in Harry Potter
ReplyDeleteshe is most famous for her numerous roles of queens and noble women in tones of BBC series and films
DeleteI'm not usually a Ben Stiller fan, his humor can be hard to accept. I'll reserve judgement on him as Walter Mitty though, this looks good. Probably cuz he doesn't really say anything, lol.
ReplyDeleteI'll definitely like to see Michael Cains movie. My kind of drama. And it doesn't look like he's falling in love with a younger version of his wife, just learning to live again through her. I dislike May/December romances.
.....dhole
I wonder if he doesn't say anything in the film as well :)
DeleteI can't remember the last Ben Stiller movie that I watched that I enjoyed.
ReplyDeleteStill, this could be a pleasant surprise.
he is sometimes difficult to swallow
DeleteAnd at the end of Mr. Morgan's last love, Clemence Poesy turns into a giant, flying spider and devours Michael Caine. All's well that ends well.
ReplyDeletefor reals? :))
DeleteI find Clemence Poesy really beautiful. Mr. Morgan's Last Love is a film I know I'm going to enjoy. Falling in love with life and re-connecting with failed relationships. Thanks for this.
ReplyDeletebe welcome, I like to use every opportunity to present heartwarming trailers and films, but sadly not many of those these days :((((
