Guy Pearce Reviews, Interviews & More
Writer/director Shane Black was once the most highly paid writer in Hollywood, selling spec-scripts for millions. His last film, 2005's Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, was considered an art film throwback that casted a then still rebounding Robert Downey Jr. as the lead. Eight years later, he's written and directed Iron Man 3, and it should return him back to the top of...
Returning after the event of The Avengers, Robert Downey Jr.'s Tony Stark has a solo adventure in Iron Man 3, which proves to be the best of the franchise, and one of the best Marvel movies yet. If it works, it's partly because writer/director Shane Black understands the genre and good filmmaking, giving fun scenes and great stakes to this...
Now that we're out of the Oscar season, it's time to focus on the upcoming summer movies. Sure the summer is still a few months away, but that won't stop us from getting overly excited over the new Iron Man 3 images. And yes, there are a couple of images that show off his busted outfit.
The individual non-Tony Stark posters continue as Marvel unleashes the latest one for Iron Man 3. It has the same style as the previous ones but also looks a little silly. Must be the facial expression on Guy Pearce's face.
When describing the career of director Christopher Nolan the word "amazing" comes to mind. Beginning at the lowest rung of the independent circuit, he has risen to craft some of the most artistically and commercially successful blockbusters of the last decade. With the epic conclusion to his Batman trilogy, The Dark Knight Rises, hitting shelves this week, now is as...
The start of Oscar season is usually packed with a lot of hopefuls based on casts and prestige possibilities, but the reality is that at some point, someone's going to see your movie, and eventually consensus will build. One day you may be the talk of the town, and then the next day your movie will come out in limited theaters and find no audience. Or just as bad, it's forgotten about it...
We’re warning you now: Some of what you read below could be considered spoilers for Iron Man 3, so read on at your own risk. Got it? Good. Although you may have guessed from the title, those of you who are super psyched about Guy Pearce’s role in the film might be a little disappointed; the actor has described it as “cameo stuff”.
The Road director John Hillcoat is tackling the Prohibition era in Lawless. With a cast of breakouts and veterans, it's filled with eye-catching performances. Unfortunately, the film suffers from a few fundamental issues that take it from poignant to mediocre.
Oh, for crying out loud—look, Prometheus, we get it: viral marketing is a fascinating tool that can expand the fictional universe in which a film takes place, and it’s a savvy way to advertise said film. That said, Prometheus came very close to ratcheting things up to overkill levels with multiple viral ads; and now, despite the fact that Prometheus has already...
One can walk a very fine line between having a movie be a prequel or it's own original piece. At the same time, if you're watching a movie you don't want to be constantly guessing over whether or not it has any connection to the filmmaker's previous flicks. With Ridley Scott's Prometheus, a lot of fans were under the impression that not only is he going back to his...
While Marvel continues to issue denial after denial (much as they denied that Loki would be the villain in The Avengers), the film studio continues to deny that a certain arch-villain will be appearing in Iron Man 3. However, the Latino Review (which was among the first to announce that Loki was indeed the Avengers villain), has now announced that they...
Though it premiered at the Cannes festival to modestly positive reviews, we're still hungry to see Tom Hillcoat's Lawless - which stars Tom Hardy, Shia LaBeouf, Jessica Chastain and Guy Pearce - something fierce. The film doesn't come out theatrically until August, so we'll have to make due with this new clip from Hulu.
It seems like every day there’s been a new bit of media released to promote The Avengers, The Dark Knight Rises, The Amazing Spider-Man, or Prometheus as the Big Summer Film of 2012. Today, it’s once again Prometheus’ turn, with Entertainment Weekly releasing 17—count ‘em, 17!—new photos from the filming of...
For a while there you could say that Ridley Scott's Prometheus was playing cute. It was embracing one of J.J. Abrams's favorite marketing schemes - the puzzle box - where part of the fun was not knowing what the film exactly was until you got into the theater. That game plan has been modified for marketing recently, and now we're getting a clearer sense of what the...
Welcome to the exact moment when Ridley Scott’s upcoming Prometheus ceased to be the ambiguous sci-fi mystery of the summer, and revealed just about every possible plot spoiler pertaining to its Alien prequel-dom that it seemingly possibly could. Thanks to a just-released international trailer, we now have three full minutes that basically lay...
Now that Iron Man 3 is set to start production this summer, you can expect a bevy of casting news and (potentially) spoilers to start spilling forth from the Marvel offices. Just last week, we reported that Ben Kingsley was being cast as the film’s villain (rumored to be Mandarin), and now we can report that Lockout star Guy Pearce has been given a...
The Three Stooges and The Cabin in the Woods aren't your only new options for the weekend – Guy Pearce is hitting the big screen with Lockout, a high-concept thriller about a convict who goes on a suicide mission into space to rescue the president's daughter from a futuristic Alcatraz-style prison....
How’s this for badass popcorn movie fun—Luc Besson teams up with Guy Pearce to lift the basic premise of the Escape From New York/Escape From L.A. series and drops it in the middle of an outer space maximum security prison riot. Not bad, right? Not exactly the most original story—Pearce plays a wrongly disgraced and convicted government...
Is 2012 the year of Guy Pearce? The star of L.A. Confidential and Memento has been kicking around Hollywood for a while, and has yet to achieve the fame he so rightly deserves. Perhaps he's about to become the face of science fiction, as he's got a role in Ridley Scott's Prometheus, and is leading up...
Quick of cut and huge of scale, the trailer for Ridley Scott's Prometheus ties the film into his 1979 film Alien in two distinct ways. One is the lettering that comes as we get quick flashes of cast members Michael Fassbender, Charlize Theron, Noomi Rapace and Idris Elba. The other is a certain prop that looks mighty familiar to fans of the...
