The latest film about Edgar Rice Burroughs’ tree-swinger features Alexander Skarsgård as a more mature Lord Greystoke, back in central Africa years after the “classic” Tarzan period. The film did well at its premiere at Toronto, with Julianne Moore receiving lots of plaudits for playing Hawke’s Danish-accented ex-wife. Rebecca Miller, the writer and director of Personal Velocity and The Private Lives of Pippa Lee, has come up with a more conventional comic premise for her fifth feature: Greta Gerwig plays a woman whose plan to have a baby on her own goes awry when she meets and marries Ethan Hawke’s hunky academic. Sanders and co are clearly not afraid of the curse of the celebrity cameo: dozens have been announced, including Graham Norton, Twiggy, and Elton John. Saunders and Joanna Lumley will return as Edina and Patsy, with one of the show’s directors, Mandie Fletcher, getting the nod for the feature. It doesn’t sound like the fruit will fall too far from the tree with this one.
The success of The Inbetweeners Movie has given a new lease of life to British TV sitcom spin-off films, and Jennifer Saunders’ PR-spoofing show follows Dad’s Army into cinemas. Duncan Jones (who made Moon and Source Code) directs. The peaceful realm of Azeroth is threatened by an orc incursion. The fantasy role-playing game Warcraft – already rolled out in the form of video games, novels, comics and a myriad of collectibles – now has a movie iteration. The 2010 film was a big hit, so this will have something to live up to. Burton has ceded directorial responsibilities to British film-maker James Bobin. PBĪ follow-up to Tim Burton’s Alice, still with Mia Wasikowska as Alice, Johnny Depp as the Mad Hatter and Helena Bonham Carter as the Red Queen. Jane Austen adaptations are in the air, what with the Pride and Prejudice and Zombies mashup and Curtis Sittenfeld’s new novel Eligible, also a reworking of P&P now Whit Stillman releases his droll and elegant version of Austen’s early novella Lady Susan, with Kate Beckinsale in the lead. This sweet-natured movie has won comparison with The Commitments. Now he’s back with this winningly nostalgic tale of a teenager in 1980s Dublin who dreams of being in a band.
