Idris Elba Reviews, Interviews & More
2013 is looking to be a pretty epic summer of entertainment, and there's delights virtually every week. But one of our most anticipated films of the summer is Guillermo del Toro's Pacific Rim. The latest trailer makes its case and then some, as it features great robot money shots followed by more awesome robot vs. monster fighting.
Some directors when given a mega-budget seem to make films that grow increasingly incomprehensible and ridiculous; others (like, say, Shane Black with Iron Man 3, Sam Mendes with Skyfall, or Christopher Nolan with The Dark Knight and Inception), can work wonders within the blockbuster wheelhouse. And the WonderCon trailer for the upcoming...
On Monday, at the Las Vegas Consumer Electronics Show, Guillermo del Toro’s Pacific Rim (a.k.a., Jax Teller and Stringer Bell cancel the apocalypse by playing Dance Dance Revolution with some Robot Jox against Godzilla and his friends) got a slightly different trailer than the one we’ve seen before. While the overall structure and...
While many have been on the fence with some of the more recent works of visually enticing filmmaker Guillermo del Toro, he knows how to handle his monsters. All you have to do is look at movies like Hellboy and Pan's Labyrinth as examples. Now he's looking to make his mark on the disaster monster sub genre with Pacific Rim. Did we mention that the blueprints...
If you’ll recall, in the lead-up to production and principle photography of Quentin Tarantino’s highly anticipated western Django Unchained, much was made of the fact that the iconoclastic and mercurial director’s desire to cast Will Smith in the role of Django, an escaped slave who teams up with a bounty hunter (Christoph Waltz) to rescue his wife from a plantation owner...
Right now a couple of popular British characters may be going through a transitional period within the next couple of years. There's been chatter of the 12th Doctor in Doctor Who being played by a woman, and the James Bond franchise may face the same treatment. No, they're not going to change James Bond into a woman (that'd be just plain weird) but Idris Elba may be...
In the post-Avengers world we live in, there's a heightened anticipation for Marvel's next wave of films, which include Iron Man 3 and Thor: The Dark World. Both are in production, while Captain America 2 is about to enter production. We know quite a bit about Iron Man...
After a steady decline in quality, writing, and humor of the past few seasons, the departure of series anchor Steve Carell, and the imminent departure of Mindy Kaling, B.J. Novak, and Rainn Wilson (who is getting a Dwight spin-off), no one would be too surprised if NBC finally did what had to be done, took the long-running The Office back...
How does this sound for a killer two hours in a movie theater: in a cinematic tribute to the Toho Studios Godzilla and giant monster films, Pacific Rim features gargantuan killer beasts begin rising from the Pacific Ocean in the future. Humanity’s only hope? A series of gigantic robots that must be telepathically controlled by two pilots at a time. Oh, and Guillermo del Toro...
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...
June 8 isn't that far away, but until then expect to be inundated with clips and trailers for the upcoming, R-rated Ridley Scott epic Prometheus. The latest from the film isn't that spoiler-y, but it does show off the effects work that went into the movie, and Idris Elba's accent. Check it out.
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...
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...
Ridley Scott's Prometheus is and isn't a sequel/prequel to his 1979 film Alien. And though it may not feature Alien creatures as we know them from the previous installments, from the latest images to come from the film it's going to have the same look and feel that's for sure. The film is due out June, 8 2012, but the first wave of publicity...
Much has been rumored about Quentin Tarantino's latest film Django Unchained, with Samuel L. Jackson and Christoph Waltz considered shoo-in's for certain parts, and Leonardo DiCaprio supposedly circling the film's bad guy role. Idris Elba tweeted something that suggested he was meeting with Quentin for the role, and - as The Hollywood Reporter announced - he's instead...
Thor may be the trickiest of the big Marvel characters to adapt. Both a Norse God, and an extra-terrestrial being, Thor doesn't have the "normal person thrust into superpowers" hook - which is both good and bad. And to that end Thor is not really an origin tale, so much as a learning experience for the main character. There's a lot to do here, on top of director Kenneth Branagh putting a big...
For the Thor press conference we were joined by Chris Hemsworth, Tom Hiddleston, Idris Elba, Kat Dennings, Jamie Alexander, and Anthony Hopkins. It was a fun chat, and the group talked about the hardships of maing a big franchise production, and the fun of being in comic book movies. For more with Hopkins, there's another great interview. But check out the press conference…
The cast of Ridley Scott's Prometheus continues to grow with the addition of three new actors. According to Mail Online, Idris Elba, Sean Harris and Kate Dickie have all signed on to co-star in the film. They also learned a little more about the tone of the movie from the director himself who spoke to the site about the upcoming...
The Wire and The Shield are the two best Police/Crime-themed TV shows of all time. Trying to pick which one is “better” is more or less a futile pursuit, but I will attempt to do so in about 500 words. The views expressed in this article do not necessarily reflect the views of ScreenCrave (I only mention that because Vic Mackey may come after the editors...
Just yesterday we learned that Idris Elba has acquired a multi-picture deal with Marvel Studios. The actor has already finished his stint in next year's Thor, and has been rumored to tackle Luke Cage or Blade next. But according to a new report from THR, Elba along with actor Johnny Whitworth have both been tapped to star in Sony's...
