Starring Daisy Ridley, Naomie Watts, Clive Owen and Tom Felton, Ophelia is the Claire McCarthy directed re-imagining of William Shapeare’s famous Hamlet.

Set in medieval-era Denmark, the queen’s brightest lady-in-waiting Ophelia, finds herself drawn to Hamlet, the charismatic and elusive crown prince. Their secretive love affair begins and soon outside forces threaten to derail their union and devastate the royal family for good. Now Ophelia must decide where her devotion will ultimately lie.

I’m in to see the Hamlet story from this new perspective. I’m also equally interested to watch Ridley in a role other than her very high profile Star Wars projects.

Another thing, is it just me for whom Keira Knightly came to mind while I looked at Ridley in this trailer?

Devon Terrell, Sebastian De Souza, Dominic Mafham, Daisy Head, Adriana Hercigonja and Mia Quiney also star.

Ophelia Release Dates: June 28th, 2019 (US)…

The perfectly titled The Glass Castle stars Brie Larson, Woody Harrelson and Naomi Watts. Written and directed by Destin Daniel Cretton, the story centres around a young girl’s coming of age in a poor, dysfunctional family of non-conformist nomads.

The subject matter, this trailer and the actors involved have me so interested in this film.

Stories about parent/offspring relationships, especially once the children are grown up, are always interesting to me. Also, what wonderful roles these are for all the actors involved.

Max Greenfield and Sarah Snook also star.

The Glass Castle release Dates: August 11th, 2017 (US)…

Starring Liev Schreiber, Naomi Watts and Elisabeth Moss, Chuck, a.k.a. The Bleeder, is the Philippe Falardeau-directed story of the life of heavyweight boxer Chuck Wepner, the fighter who inspired Sylvester Stallone to write the Rocky movies.

I’m certainly not a major boxing fan since I haven’t yet watched any of the Rocky films. But I am interested in the story of the man who inspired them. Also, this looks like a great role for Schreiber. Am I right or am I right?

I AM HEATH LEDGER (2017): New Trailer For Heath Ledger Documentary

You’d think that I’d be more than ready to watch a documentary about the very talented late actor Heath Ledger, nearly ten years after his untimely passing, but you’d be wrong. His deservedly revered performance in The Dark Knight (2008), remains one of the best character embodiments I’ve ever seen on screen; a performance so perfectly measured and mesmerising that I missed him terribly each time the camera pointed elsewhere.

Directed by Adrian Buitenhuis and Derik Murray, I Am Heath Ledger is a new documentary that celebrates Ledger’s life as an actor, artist and icon. Featuring interviews with those who knew him best personally and professionally, I Am Heath Ledger aims to provide an intimate look through the actor’s own camera as he films and often performs in his own personal journey.

I know that one day I’ll sit down and watch this documentary. That day will just take a little or a lot longer to arrive. There’s just no telling.

Naomi Watts, Emile Hirsch, Djimon Hounsou, Ben Mendelsohn and Brokeback Mountain (2005) director Ang Lee are some of the friends and colleagues featured, along with family.

I Am Heath Ledger Release Dates: April 23rd, 2017 (US)…

THE SEA OF TREES (2016): New Trailer From Gus Van Sant, Starring Matthew McConaughey, Naomi Watts…

The Sea Of Trees stars Matthew McConaughey, Naomi Watts and Katie Aselton.  It’s also the Gus Van Sant (Good Will Hunting (1997), Milk (2008) directed movie that was famously booed at the 2015 Cannes Film Festival.

Based on this trailer, I’d never have guessed this movie didn’t turn out well. All I’m sure of at this point, considering that love, grief and suicide are key themes, is that a laugh a minute is unlikely to be words used to describe anyone’s experience.

My true reaction before realising that this is the movie that was booed was: ‘Yeah! Another Matthew McConaughey movie,’ and it stars Ken Watanabe too; an actor whose face I’ll always be glad to see because of his great work in one of my all time favourites, Inception (2010).

I’ll likely give this movie a chance. Certainly not promising that I’ll make it to the very end, but I feel I must at least try. How about you?

The Sea Of Trees Release Dates: August 26th, 2016 (US)…
