African American Version of “Magic Mike” Starring Tyson Beckford Coming Soon

0

Producers are looking to tap into the world of male strippers once again in Chocolate City.

Producers are seeking to tap into the recent success of African American themed films at the box office with an urban take on stripping. Hey, if Channing Tatum can do it with Magic Mike anyone can.

The new movie will be directed by Jean-Claude LaMarre and will feature Michael Jai White and model turned actor Tyson Beckford. 

The movie will center on a a young college student who is struggling to make ends meet who meets the owner of a male strip club who convinces him to give amateur night a try.

Magic-Mike-ScreamsTyson Beckford will play Adrian, the club’s former star attraction who finds his popularity starting to fade as the new kid starts to steal the spotlight.

The filmmaker has a deal with Eone’s non-theatrical urban features division but is hoping to shop it to a studio that can take Chocolate City to theaters in a strategic rollout to urban markets where women flock to black male strip clubs. Story also has a faith-themed subplot involving the protagonist’s struggle to balance his religious upbringing with his newfound career on the stripper stage (Deadline).

“This movie was in gestation for 2 1/2 years, but after Magic Mike it seemed a natural fit for the African-American female audience,” LaMarr told Deadline.

“I researched the male exotic club scene and it’s massive across the country, with clubs specifically targeting middle-aged African-American women.”

Chocolate City is set to start lensing in Los Angeles in June.

10 Things You Did Not Know About the “Godzilla” Movie

0

Godzilla dominated the box office this weekend with reports that this is one of the biggest movie of 2014.

The Warner Bros. and Legendary Pictures reboot made a whopping $93 million dollars in the United States and an additional $10 million internationally for a total of $103 million in first weekend sale.

But did you know this was the 60th anniversary for Godzilla? The original movie was released in 1954.

There are a lot of little things you may have missed while watching the movie or happened behind the scenes. But, here are ten things you probably did not know about the latest Godzilla Movie.

Godzilla-art-horizontal

#1. Godzilla, Scars and Nuclear Bombs

Godzilla’s appearance was covered with scars. This feature was actually taken from the original Godzilla movie that featured Godzilla with keloid scars. In the 1950’s version, the use of scars was to remind the audience of the survivors of the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombings, that left thousands of people scarred. This was to also enhance the concept behind Godzilla as a monster damaged by nuclear weapons.

#2. 60 long monstrous years.

This film is to release in 2014, Godzilla’s 60th anniversary.

#3. Sound Effects Testing had to be Just Right!

In order to create a loud monster like yell, the sound designers used a 12-foot-high, 18-foot-wide speaker array to blast Godzilla’s roar at a hundred thousand watts to get a good idea of his vocal power and strength.

#4. Cinematographer got lost and started working on the wrong set!

While filming for ‘Godzilla’ the Cinematographer Seamus McGarvey accidently went to the set of “Dawn of the Planet of the Apes” and he described walking around with his light meter, not recognizing anyone, as a “surreal, dreamlike experience” until he realized his mistake.
DAWN_OF_THE_PLANET_OF_THE_APES_2014

#5. It would take a normal person 450 years just to create Godzilla on a computer.

There are 960 visual effects shot through the whole film, 327 of which are Godzilla whose 3D model is made up of over 500,000 shapes. If the computer graphics were designed on a single computer, it would have taken 450 years to render the entire project.

#6. Godzilla’s design was inspired by… Lions, Tigers, Bears… oh my?

Godzilla’s design was inspired by bears and Komodo dragons. The face was particularly based on the heads of bears, dogs, and eagles. Designers the eagle “has a lot of nobility, it made him feel very majestic and noble.”

#7. The Marines didn’t like the movie’s script.

The United States Navy co-operated in the making of the movie, while the United States Marine Corps declined to participate after reviewing the script.

#8. Old school lenses

For the 1950s scenes, cinematographer Seamus McGarvey wanted “a peeled look with muted colors and diffused highlights.” To achieve this, he shot those scenes with vintage 1960s camera lenses and additionally had the shades of black in those scenes digitally tinted in magenta.

#9 Godzilla is an Anti-Hero similar to Walter White.

Director Gareth Edwards described Godzilla as an anti-hero: “Godzilla is definitely a representation of the wrath of nature. The theme is man versus nature and Godzilla is certainly the nature side of it. You can’t win that fight. Nature’s always going to win and that’s what the subtext of our movie is about. He’s the punishment we deserve.”

#10 There was a ton of research in order to make the movie!

Gareth Edwards and the design group reviewed all the previous incarnations of Godzilla’s design for influence on the final design for the film: “The way I tried to view it was: imagine Godzilla was a real creature and someone from Toho saw him in the 1950s and ran back to the studio to make a movie about the creature and was trying their best to remember and draw it… and in our film you get to see him for real. It was important that this felt like a Toho Godzilla.”

Michael C. Hall Kills Your “Dexter” Spin-Off Dreams

0

Michael C. Hall says sometimes he wishes they would have just killed Dexter in the series finale.

It has been nearly a year since we last saw Dexter Morgan hide away in the middle of nowhere. This was because Showtime refused to let the serial killer die. Instead, the network forced the writers to come up with a way to make Dexter live so a possible spin-off series could be made.

READ MORE: Showtime’s ‘Dexter’ Spinoff in the Works?

The writers originally planned to kill Dexter in the series finale, and told the Network where the story line was heading, and the network quickly replied, let’s be clear, Dexter will live. So, the writers of Dexter did not even have a choice.

IGN recently sat down with Michael C. Hall, about his new movie “Cold in July”. During the interview they brought up the possibility of a Dexter spin-off series. The actor replied that he had “no immediate plans” to revisit the role. But, he also replied that he learned “to never say never”.

“It’s very difficult for me to imagine someone coming up with something that is compelling enough for that to be worth doing,” Hall continued. “I certainly have no interest right now in playing Dexter. You know, some time passes and somebody has some newly imagined landscape for him that I feel is worth exploring, I would perhaps consider it. Beyond that vague notion, I really can’t say, and it’s not something I have any immediate plans to do.shutterstock_101694193 He is still alive, but for right now, I’m leaving him in the cabin.” [IGN]

IGN asked how Hall felt about the ending of the Dexter series, the actor commented that the ending of the show was not as great as it could have been. Hall said that Dexter changed throughout the numerous seasons.  “It was a many-headed creative monster, and certain heads were lopped off halfway through the life of the show. It was difficult to maintain a cohesive narrative in many ways, but primarily, in terms of the conception of the character, once he started to move into murkier, blurrier, more human territory, it became a very difficult thing to wrap my head around. But in the end, I think Dexter was always a pragmatist and, well, self-centered. I think it was his version of selflessness upon recognition that anyone close to him was going to be destroyed if he continued to indulge in intimate relationships. You know, his dad died, Rita died — well, once he decided that, he faked his death and erased himself, but he didn’t want to die. I honestly find it to be a pretty dark ending, and I think it upset a lot of people. Certainly, the shakiness of certain aspects of the eighth season maybe made that ending less palatable to people. I don’t think people were ready to be told that, because they were already feeling a sense of ambivalence for the show. But the idea that he imprisons himself in a prison of his own making I think is fitting [for the character].”

Dexter even commented that he wished that at the end of the seventh season Deb had shot him in the train compartment. But, that would have made it impossible for a eighth season.

If Showtime does plan on renewing the Dexter saga, we will keep you updated. Stay tuned.

Ryan Reynolds’ “The Captive” Movie Booed at the Cannes Film Festival

0

Ryan Reynolds is not having a good time at the Cannes film festival.

The actor recently attended the festival for his latest movie “The Captive” at the Cannes film festival.

The audience found the movie to be so bad that many people actually booed. The movie was received so poorly that Ryan Reynolds did not even show up for the film’s after party.

According to reports,  “Ryan definitely seemed a little on edge. Wouldn’t be surprised if he skipped out on his party because the film is getting terrible reviews.” Reynolds “seemed preoccupied on his cell phone” while the duo dined at the restaurant but was still “really affectionate” with his wife Blake Lively.

“[It] looked like Blake was trying to cheer him up a few times … she rubbed his arm like she was consoling him and kept whispering in his ear,” the source continues. “At one point, Ryan smiled … and leaned into her for a kiss on the lips.”

“The Captive” was reviewed by Variety and described as “a ludicrous abduction thriller that finds a once-great filmmaker slipping into previously entered realms of self-parody.”

The Captive, formerly titled Queen of the Night is a thriller film directed by Atom Egoyan and co-written with David Fraser. The film stars Ryan ReynoldsScott SpeedmanRosario DawsonMireille EnosKevin Durand and Alexia Fast.

The Captive centers on 8 years after the disappearance of a little girl, but there is evidence that shows that she’s still alive. Police, parents and Cassandra herself, will try to unravel the mystery of her disappearance.

The movie is reminiscent of the great feature film Prisoners starring Hugh Jackman and Jake Gyllenhaal.

The Cannes Film Festival is self described as “to draw attention to and raise the profile of films with the aim of contributing towards the development of cinema, boosting the film industry worldwide and celebrating cinema at an international level.”

For Ryan Reynolds The Captive did just that but for all the wrong reasons.
