GARRETT HEDLUND
IS CAPTAIN HOOK IN 'PAN'
Earlier last December I informed you that Hugh Jackman will put on a black beard in order to portray the infamous Captain Blackbeard (the role originally meant for Javier Bardem) in Warner Bros' new movie adaptation of Peter PAN, to be directed by Joe Wright (ANNA KARENINA, ATONEMENT), and now rumour has it that Garrett Hedlund has been offered the role of Captain Hook himself. Scheduled for June 2015 the movie follows the young orphan Peter Pan, who is taken to Neverland for the first time, as he leads the locals in a rebellion against the pirates. Captain Hook starts out as an ally to Peter Pan before turning to his villainous ways.

OLIVIA WILDE IN TRAILER
In the video department today, check out the first trailer for new comedy drama BETTER LIVING THROUGH CHEMISTRY which will hit cinemas near you this March starring Olivia Wilde, Sam Rockwell, Jane Fonda, Michelle Monaghan, Ray Liotta and Ben Schwartz. The story follows a small town pharmacist (Rockwell) whose uneventful life turns into a walk on the wild side when he embarks on a drug-and-alcohol fuelled affair with a seductive customer (Wilde) in this murderously funny dark comedy!
i see oliva wilde's name... and yet no visuals... arrgghh in my pirate voice.
ReplyDeleteShe's there in the trailer, J-man :)
Deletethough you find the naughtiest imagery... respectfully. :)
Deletethere wasn't enough space in the post to put her separate pic, sadly....
DeleteI watched Rosemary's Baby when I was very young. It scared me to pieces!!
ReplyDeleteI don't plan on watching it!
DeleteI saw the movie too and it really freaked me out. I can't watch a whole series on the subject matter.
DeleteWe shall give it a pass, dear, but they do have a rather hot cast
Deleteanother Peter Pan ???
ReplyDeleteI've loved the first one (the movie, not the Disney version !) and I'm not sure that I need another one !
I'm not sure either, Sam Wise, but nobody is asking us :(
DeleteBetter living through chemistry , I believe that this must be a good comedy .
ReplyDeletecould be, could be, Vincent
DeleteBetter Living through Chemistry looks mildly interesting. Not sure if I'll see that one. BTW, thanks for letting me know about Nut Job 2. I'm sure my son will want to see it when it comes out!
ReplyDeletemore nuts coming our way :)
DeleteI know I wouldn't go see the last movie. Not sure I would watch it on NetFlix or Amazon Prime, either. Though I do like Sam.
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't either :)
Deletenever seen Wilde as a blonde
ReplyDeleteI did post her blonde pics before :)
DeleteGarrett is pretty sexy looking. I looked him up on Wiki and I've never seen any of the films he's been in. Not sure about Pan though. It looks like a prequel to me.
ReplyDeletehe's a rather bland actor, dear, similar to that Max Irons. Cold, expressionless and empty :)But pretty on the eye....
DeleteI hope they give Captain Hook a modern makeover.
ReplyDeletethey probably will.
DeleteI could watch Patrick Adams all day - and all night. Garrett looks too young to be an effective Hook though.
ReplyDelete.......dhole
I've never seen Patrick in anything but he looks rather stunning and hot :)
DeletePan will be with younger characters and Hook will be young, at the time he worked for Blackbeard
Actually, I'm ok with another pan movie. My daughter loves the character, so an updated version would make her extremely happy!
ReplyDeletenow there you ago, one happy viewer already :)
DeleteA movie with a Peter "Pan" in it can't be bad!
ReplyDeleteGreetings
Peter
fingers crossed
