HUGH JACKMAN GOES
OLYMPIC IN 'EDDIE THE EAGLE'
Beside shinning at the theatres, Hugh Jackman has just added another new big screen role. As 'The Daily Mail' writes, he will star in Olympic biopic EDDIE THE EAGLE the true story of Eddie "The Eagle" Edwards, the first British ski jumper in Olympic history. Although he took last place in both of his ski jumping events at the 1988 Winter Olympics in Calgary, EDDIE THE EAGLE Edwards became a media sensation. Hugh Jackman will play Chuck Berghorn, a ski jumping expert from Lake Placid who helps Eddie train for the Calgary Olympics, while Taron Egerton has won the lead role in a competitive audition with other young stars. Timothy Spall is wanted for the role of his father. Hugh has two big blockbusters out this year: CHAPPIE and PAN!

HILARIOUS 'SPY' TRAILER
WITH MELISSA MCCARTHY, JASON STATHAM AND JUDE LAW
Your second trailer for today has the strangest of combinations: Melissa McCarthy and Jason Statham in SPY action adventure comedy which comes to cinemas next May also starring Jude Law, Rose Byrne and Morena Baccarin! Susan Cooper (Melissa McCarthy) is an unassuming, deskbound CIA analyst, and the unsung hero behind the Agency's most dangerous missions. But when her partner (Jude Law) falls off the grid and another top agent (Jason Statham) is compromised, she volunteers to go deep undercover to infiltrate the world of a deadly arms dealer, and prevent a global disaster.
I haven't really cared for anything McCarthy has done to date, but this looks like it has potential.
ReplyDeleteagreed on that, while I like her in MIKE AND MOLLY, I've never really liked any of her movies because she gets cynical in them
DeleteMelissa McCarthy is certainly playing a feisty protagonist!
ReplyDeleteand they glamed her up in some of the scenes :)
DeleteFun day, Dezz. A Spy is born! and I love Jude Law.
ReplyDeletewe do love Jude, he is the Law!
DeleteThis is the first Melissa McCarthy movie I've thought I might like. I agree with you, Dez, she seems too mean and annoying.
ReplyDeleteI don't like her when she is cynical and mean, I've never appreciated that kind of humour
DeleteBummer. I can't get the trailer to play. That happens to me sometimes and i can't figure out why. :( Spy looks good.
ReplyDeleteI've put a new trailer for THE NIGHT... it seems the video is being taken down from YouTube, hope this one will last longer
DeleteThanks! I laugh at the sneeze! Is that bad?
DeleteOh, I think Melissa McCarthy is hilarious. I totally get her. And that clip is great, with her playing opposite Jude Law and Jason Statham. I think it will be funny. :)
ReplyDeleteI like the glamorous aspect of it :)
DeleteYummy Jude Law!! Will have to look for this one!
ReplyDeleteLaw is the law!
DeleteNever heard of Eddie Eagle
ReplyDeleteme neither
DeleteI know a lot of people who really like Melissa McCarthy, but I'm not really a fan. Maybe I need some therapy.
ReplyDeleteI hope Hugh Jackman does well in these three movies.
I like her only in MIKE AND MOLLY and GILMORE GIRLS, but not in her movies which are often offensive and rude
DeleteThey sure make good use of the "F" word is SPY, but it still looks pretty good to me. I like that they don't have Melissa playing another trailer trash role again. I like her so much better when she seems like a normal gal with a witty sense of humor!
ReplyDeleteI like her better like that too
DeleteI usually don't watch Melissa McCarthy movies but I'll make an exception with this one.
ReplyDeletethis one seems better suited for the wider audience
DeleteSpy looks awesome. The Heat was hilarious
ReplyDeleteGlad you liked the trailer, Simon
DeleteOh my gosh! Spy will be so funny. And when there is a Hugh Jackman movie, I'm there. :)
ReplyDeletewe do love Hugh so much!
DeleteJude Law will make a great spy...He might already be MI6...
ReplyDeletethat is my theory too! And Judi Dench is the secret head of MI5
DeleteNobody Wants Winter looks excellent. Brutal story, but very real. There's some fantastic camera work and the actors working in that location are courageous.
ReplyDeleteI've always loved movies and series shot in polar regions.
DeleteEddy the eagle must be a comedie! From the snow to the hospital!
ReplyDeleteGreetings
Peter
he he he
