DC has certainly changed its narrative over the last two years. The success of Wonder Woman, Aquaman, Shazam, and now Joker have seemingly turned the perception of their properties around. Where they go from here will be most important however. With Birds of Prey and Wonder Woman 1984 the next big openers for them, DC […]

Aaron Eckhart loves sharing advice to other among the Batman film family. He played Harvey Dent/Two Face in The Dark Knight (2008), the second of director Christopher Nolan’s trilogy.  Regarded as the best live action Batman film, Eckhart feels a bond whenever an actor enters the Batman world. Eckhart spoke to Entertainment Weekly while promoting […]

With every casting announcement, Matt Reeve’s film The Batman is building itself up to me a major film for the DCEU with Robert Pattinson taking on the role of the Dark Knight. The actor has shared his thoughts on the upcoming film, how this Batman isn’t your standard hero and his admiration for Reeve’s creativity. […]

Paul Dano is in negotiations with Warner Bros for Matt Reeves’ The Batman with Robert Pattinson in the title role. Variety reports the role as the Riddler, but the studio won’t confirm. The Dano casting news comes on the heels of Jonah Hill pulling out of the project. Variety speculates Dano may have been Hill’s […]

Jonathan Rich writes for Bleeding Cool … Anyone yearning for a summer cinema alternative to big-budget special effects or grim and gritty superheroes battling one another need look no further than the bizarre trip down the weird rabbit hole that is Dan Kwan and Daniel Scheinert’s Swiss Army Man. [youtube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yrK1f4TsQfM[/youtube] The story starts with plane […]

In Swiss Army Man, Daniel Radcliffe plays a corpse with surprising powers. And as Paul Dano discovers in this slightly NSFW Red Band Trailer, even Radcliffe’s farts and erections prove helpful. Have we mentioned this film is a darling on the festival circuit? [youtube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4v92gXetGqA[/youtube] Swiss Army Man opens June 24th.

In the trailer for the upcoming Swiss Army Man, Paul Dano finds the body of Daniel Radcliffe washed up ashore on deserted island. The seeming corpse begins to respond to him and has seemingly magical properties. Or is it all in Dano’s imagination? Either way, the film looks different and interesting.

Beautiful and mysterious, Youth is never quite the movie you expect or the movie it seems to want to be. Set in a Swiss health resort, Michael Caine stars as a retired composer being courted by representatives of Her Majesty’s government to come back for one last concert. Rachel Weisz plays his daughter/assistant who, while […]

In the new film Youth, the characters played by Michael Caine, Harvey Keitel, Paul Dano and Jane Fonda are all know for one big success. While Caine’s character is a composer known for his “Simple Songs,” Dano’s character is known for playing a robot. Though asked about it often, the character is uncomfortable with that […]

A pretty vague, but intriguing image of the movie's version of Khadgar is starting to form.

Ruby Sparks is how Valerie Dayton and Jonathan Faris have finally followed up Little Miss Sunshine. The trailer will do the set-up well enough, but in a nutshell it’s this: novelist creates his dream girl, she appears in real life. It will take a light touch and some good ideas to keep this one in […]

There Will Be Blood and Little Miss Sunshine‘s Paul Dano appears in a new short film released on line as a promo. It’s kind of a sketch about a book club with jokes about porn cliches, but it’s also a trailer for a novel called Flatscreen. Just don’t expect to learn anything much about the […]

In this trailer you will see a selection of quite wonderful actors giving some quite wonderful performances. I don’t feel so kindly towards the film’s aesthetic qualities – I’m very much not a fan of the Academy ratio. And despite a large number of inoffensive and natural compositions, some of the shots are rather disruptive. […]

Rian Johnnson’s Looper is a time-hooping sci-fi thriller set in the near and not-so-near future, starring Bruce Willis, Joseph Gordon Levitt, Paul Dano and Emily Blunt. The film will be relatively grounded stuff, not some crayola-coloured crazy space opera, but it is nonetheless going to showcase a series of futurist designs, and representations of both […]

Little Miss Sunshine was premiered over five years ago, and still there’s been no follow up from directors Jonathan Dayton and Valerie Faris. Everything they’ve tried to get going in the meantime has, for one reason or another, stumbled/been hobbled by the money men. It’s safe to say I’m somewhat disappointed by this.* Now, though, […]

Josh Hylton writes for Bleeding Cool: Rian Johnson isn’t a recognizable name to most people. Aside from some television work on shows like Breaking Bad, he has only directed two films: the critically acclaimed high school film noir Brick; and the less well received, but nevertheless charming, The Brothers Bloom. Not much is known about […]

Kate Atherton writes for Bleeding Cool: Looper is a crime thriller with a scifi twist and an exciting cast to boot. Writer-director Rian Johnson (Brick and The Brothers Bloom) has already signed Bruce Willis, Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Emily Blunt to this tale of present-day hitmen whose victims are selected by a crime syndicate that exists […]
