I Am Link

.

--- Ever More Matty -  I can't remember if I even knew this was a thing or not but gratuity-recipient and Cotillard-lover Guillaume Canet is directing a movie called Blood Ties, which is a remake of a French 2008 thriller and stars Clive Owen, Zoe Saldana, Mila Kunis, Billy Crudup, and Matthias Schoenaerts, amongst many others. Naturally it's that last name that most interests me though. The Playlist has the first bunch of pictures from it, including that wife-beatered look at our favorite big beefy Belgian. They seem to think the film might be playing Cannes.

 

--- Finnick Less - In case you're a sane person who skipped the MTV Movie Awards last night (unlike some of us), here's the trailer for Catching Fire that debuted during the show. And here's what I tweeted in reaction to it. I stand by that tweet, tenfold.

--- The Great Jakesby - Jake Gyllenhaal does The Great Gatsby audiobook, y'all. My favorite book being read to me by my favorite crush? Somebody hit me with a car and call me Myrtle. Jake would've made for a terrific Nick.
.

--- Four By Filth - Nat plays some catch up with movie trailers by "Yes No Maybe So"'ing four recent ones, including the one for Elysium and the one for James McAvoy's expletive-and-ass-a-thon Filth, which we're all over.

--- Pines Soul - Also over at TFE Paolo takes on Derek Cianfrance's The Place Beyond the Pines, calling it a soap opera boy-style, which is just about the finest take on it I can imagine.

--- The Bloodening - Did ya all hear about that prequel to The Shining that's being developed? I mentioned it last week. Well here's what Stephen King has to say on it. It's not a lot, but it ain't friendly.
.

--- Second Banana - Joel McHale will once again play the prick that the lead girl needs to get away with in order to fall for the lead guy in a rom-com; this time it will be Drew Barrymore that he drives into the arms of Adam Sandler which is like a federal offense. Movies have everything backwards.

--- Zom Nom Nom - Head over to The Playlist to hear whether Danny Boyle thinks a third 28 [Fill in the Blank]'s Later movie will happen. Here's a hint - he's worried that zombies might be a tad bit on the over-eposed side. Can't say I disagree. I've been hoping for a big monster renassance myself ever since The Host came out, and it seems like maybe we're finally getting it with Pacific Rim and the upcoming Godzilla reboot.
