Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly Reteam
Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly will once again combine their buffoonish charms for new comedy Border Guards. Directed by Adam MacKay and with a script courtesy of Oscar nominated comedy scribe Jesse Armstrong the new film will focus on a pair of hapless but earnest friends who decide to give purpose to their lives by protecting America’s borders from illegal immigrants. So basically expect Will Ferrell to shout at people in Spanish… a lot.
Hans Zimmer Talks Superman Sequel Soundtrack
Hans Zimmer has unsurprisingly confirmed that he plans to follow up his current work on Christopher Nolan’s Interstellar with work on the next Superman/Batman sequel soundtrack.
“We’ve already had a couple of chats, and once I finish [Interstellar] I will probably head over to where Zack is shooting his movie and just hang out a bit and see if we can come up with any idea”
As for whether the new score will feature any of his previous iconic scores for the Dark knight Trilogy the award winning composer was quick to dismiss the idea of reusing material.
“I don’t want to betray, if that’s the right word, the Dark Knight movies. That was Christian, it was Christian’s role.”
Third Person Trailer
Crash writer/director Paul Haggis has released the first glimpse at his latest offering of ensemble melodrama with the official trailer for Third Person. Starring Liam Neeson, Olivia Wilde, James Franco, Mila Kunis and Adrien Brody it’s a precisely the kind of interwoven tale of tears, tantrums and poignant moments you’d expect. See for yourself here:
