HAILEE STEINFELD TO EXPLORE
THE STATISTICAL PROBABILITY OF LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT!
One of the youngest Oscar nominees, lovely Hailee Steinfeld will explore THE STATISTICAL PROBABILITY OF LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT according to 'Deadline'! The ROMEO AND JULIET and ENDER'S GAME star will topline the big screen adaptation of last year’s YA novel by Jennifer E. Smith, in which the story follows Hadley (Hailee Steinfeld) over a 24-hour period. What first looks like a rotten day as she waits in an airport for a flight to London for her father’s second wedding brightens up when she meets a young British chap. Turns out they’re seated together, and sparks fly.
JASON BATEMAN TO SELL
HIMSELF IN 'IPO MAN' MOVIE
Meanwhile, another lovely face, Jason Bateman will both direct and star in IPO MAN, an adaptation of Meet The Man Who Sold His Fate To Investors At $1 A Share, a 'Wired magazine' article about a man who found a novel commodity for a public offering: himself. He sold about 900 shares of himself out of 10,000 in total to friends and other people. It created a host of problems for the actual guy, Mike Merrill, when shareholders demanded control over life decisions like whether to have a vasectomy or even whether he should move in with his longtime girlfriend (and minority shareholder).

'EX MACHINA' SF TRAILER
THERE IS NOTHING MORE HUMAN THAN THE WILL TO SURVIVE
Here's a sf trailer for you today: EX MACHINA will arrive next April following Caleb Smith (Domhnall Gleeson), a programmer at an internet search giant, who wins a competition to spend a week at the private mountain estate of the company's brilliant and reclusive CEO, Nathan Bateman (Oscar Isaac). Upon his arrival, Caleb learns that Nathan has chosen him to be the human component in a Turing Test charging him with evaluating the capabilities, and ultimately the consciousness, of Nathan's latest experiment in artificial intelligence. That experiment is Ava (Alicia Vikander), a breathtaking A.I. whose emotional intelligence proves more sophisticated, seductive - and more deceptive - than the two men could have imagined. Isaac and Gleeson both star in upcoming new STAR WARS movie too!
The machines are coming. Not so far from the truth, methinks!
ReplyDeletejust around the corner, I hope our computers won't turn against us if we feed them with enough porn LOL
DeleteRobots in DeSkys... intriguing!
ReplyDeletein hot deskys in this case...
DeleteDarn, can't get the trailer to work. Ex-machina sounds like great scifi. Ipo Man is very interesting. Probably a good idea to move quickly with an adaptation. Fault in our Stars was a book just two years ago and the movie did well.
ReplyDeletewe often have adaptations of yet to be published books too :)
Deleteex-machina looks excellent ! the trailer is stunning like you said ...
ReplyDeleteI love that kind of visually stylish sf movies :)
DeleteI like too ... a little bit like "Gattaca", no special effects, etc.. and very esthetical
DeleteGATTACA was really cool!
DeleteI'm surprised you don't have the almost confirmed news about Benedict Cumberbatch as Dr. Strange.
ReplyDeleteIt was mentioned in our post on Marvel's upcoming projects yesterday, Adam :)
DeleteLove at first sight at the airport. Hmm, maybe there's hope for me hanging out at the airport overlook watching airplanes on Friday nights? (Oh please - get a grip.)
ReplyDeleteEverywhere I look there's Jason Bateman. Trailer not available yet for Ex Machine, but this looks familiar.
Good weekend Dez!
trailer works, could be something with your computer, sister :)
DeleteHope you're trick and treating tonight! Don't come at my place I ain't cracking my bum at the doors :)
If you'd told me in the 80s that Jason Bateman would become a big movie star in his 30s/40s, I would never have believed it. Back then he was Ricky Schroeder's friend on Silver Spoons!!!
ReplyDeleteit is funny how, due to the absolute lack of talent among the younglings, a lot of the very mature stars are getting much more job now than before.
DeleteI am sure my older daughter will be all over that Hailee Steinfeld film. Now I'll have to catch up on it myself so I can feel like I have a clue when she starts chatting about it.
ReplyDeleteit sounds like it could be a lovely movie, we do love romcoms. LOVE, ROSIE was that kind of film this year :)
DeleteWhy am I reminded of Terminator 3?
ReplyDeletefunny that you would say that, since pictures for new TERMINATOR GENISYS are in new ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY!
DeleteFor me there's only part 1 and part 2. That's it. Everything else is just crrrrrrrap. Pardon my Swedish.
DeleteI thought parts one and two also classify as crap :)
DeleteSHOCKING!
Deletescandalous!
DeleteOutrageously SHHHHHHHOCKING!
DeleteI'll be back.
like Terminator
DeleteYou're sharp.
Deletebut not dangerous
DeleteIPO Man could be funny. Couldn't see the trailer for Ex Machina, but I'm always up for some good Terminator-esque Sci-Fi. :)
ReplyDeleteI don't know why you can't see it, it plays for me. I will replace it immediately and put another one
DeleteEX MACHINA i'm enjoy to see this movie !
ReplyDeleteCheers .
it looks really nice, doesn't it?
DeleteNow I'm curious. What is the statistical probability of love at first sight?
ReplyDeletegotta buy the book and find out
DeleteI'd buy Jason Bateman :)
ReplyDeleteme too! :)
