Images of THE GREAT GATSBY

Here's what us Great Gatsby fans have all been waiting for: Leonardo DiCaprio has Jay Gatsby and Carey Mulligan as Daisy. I was worried at first about the cast they chose for The Great Gatsby, not because they're not talented, but just because I had a different idea in mind on who should have been cast. But, I'm officially on board as far as cast goes. Now it's just executing the book into the movie, which is what concerns me, especially with Baz Luhrmann who is one big hit and a lot of misses. Anywho, the images are after the jump. The Great Gatsby opens in 3D on December 25th, 2012.

New Trailer for SHAME

The Steve McQueen drama Shame has released a second trailer, and I have to say, this one may be even better than the first. The adult drama focuses on Brandon (played by Michael Fassbender), a man whose carefully constructed facade conceals his sex addiction. The film, which is NC-17, doesn't hide the fact that it's filled with sex, in fact it wears that rating with pride, using reviews that compare it to adult films such as Last Tango in Paris and Midnight Cowboy. Another fantastic part of the trailer is the heartbreaking, and beautiful, rendition of "New York, New York", which is sung by Carey Mulligan (who plays Brandon's sister, Sissy).

The film will open to a limited release on December 2nd. There is no embed for the trailer, so for now you'll have to head over to Apple to see the trailer.

For those who don't know, here's the official synopsis for Shame:

Brandon (Michael Fassbender) is a New Yorker who shuns intimacy with women but feeds his desires with a compulsive addiction to sex. When his wayward younger sister (Carey Mulligan) moves into his apartment stirring memories of their shared painful past, Brandon’s insular life spirals out of control.

Trailer for SHAME Starring Michael Fassbender and Carey Mulligan

The US trailer for Shame, directed by Steve McQueen, has hit the internet. The film stars Michael Fassbender as Brendan, a sex addict whose tightly-constructed world is slowly spiraling out of control and the situation only becomes worse when his screw-up of a sister (Carey Mulligan) comes into his life. The film has a rating of NC-17, but this hasn't stopped Fox Searchlight from trying to advertise it publicly. It seems like they're aiming to sell it primarily at adults which could work considering the sex that's seen in the film, from what I've read, isn't all that sexy at all. The trailer is able to show how Brendan's life begins to be breaking apart piece by piece, and the film seems like it's going to be pretty fantastic.

Hit the break to check out the trailer. Shame opens in  limited release on December 2nd.

John Goodman and Justin Timberlake Join Coen Brothers' INSIDE LLEWYN DAVIS

The Coen Brothers have done no wrong in my opinion. They continue to create fantastic movies, all somewhat different but with the same result of them being fucking awesome. Well, from the way it's looking, they're on the way to making another hit. Inside Llewyn Davis follows a young musician trying to make it in the 1960's Greenwich Village folk scene. So far, the movie has Oscar Isaac, who was fantastic in Drive, and it has Carey Mulligan, who was also fantastic in Drive but is just a great actress to begin with. Joining this cast is Justin Timberlake and John Goodman. Goodman has been a frequent collaborator of The Coen Brothers, starting with Barton Fink (which I highly recommend). He hasn't been in a Coen Brothers film for over 10 years though, with the musical O Brother, Where Art Thou?, which I also thought was brilliant. There are no details for Goodman's character, so we'll see what comes up. As well as Goodman, Justin Timberlake has been offered a co-lead in the film. Hit the break for more details.

It's Official: SHAME rated NC-17

Not exactly a surprise to anyone, but Steve McQueen's dark, erotic drama Shame has been given an NC-17 rating. This was expected with the amount of nudity and sex that takes place in the film. Starring Michael Fassbender and Carey Mulligan, Fassbenders plays a a successful single New Yorker who is a compulsive sex addict. Yeah...sounds like a fun movie for every family. But, even with all of the controversy, the film has gotten rave reviews at numerous film festivals, and Fassbender is getting plenty of talk for the Best Actor nomination. The film will be released December 2nd, I recommend you all check it out. If you're over 17 of course.
