New Elysium TV Spot and Images

Neill Blomkamp’s much-anticipated Elysium is out in August, and the first TV spot has landed along with some shiny new stills.

Elysium stars Matt Damon as Max De Costa, a terminally-ill man living in 2154 whose only chance at survival is to leave the overpopulated, poverty-stricken Earth and go upwards to the exclusive Elysium – a floating metropolis and, unfortunately for Max, “the most heavily guarded place in the universe.”

Jodie Foster plays Secretary Rhodes, the woman in charge of keeping the place free from illness-ridden evacuees, and Sharlto Copley (who was brought to prominence in Blomkamp’s District 9) is the ruthless mercenary called Kruger.

Expect plenty of futuristic action and some subtle commentary about what we’re doing to the planet when it drops.

Head over to the Empire website here to see the other two images.

Elysium is out on August 23rd.

New Man Of Steel Images Fly Online

A whole host of new stills from Zack Snyder’s upcoming Kryptonian re-boot, Man Of Steel, have hit the internet.

(Click to enlarge)

Man of Steel stars Cavill, Crowe, Amy Adams (as Lois Lane) and Michael Shannon as the big baddie General Zod.

It tells the story of how little Kal-El, adopted by farmers and re-named Clark Kent after the destruction of his home planet Krypton, comes to terms with his super powers and becomes the famous red cloaked hero we all know as Superman.

The images also give us our first proper look at Kevin Costner’s Jonathan Kent and Laurence Fishburne’s Daily Planet editor Perry White.

Man of Steel is released on June 14th.

First Image From BBC4’s Burton and Taylor

The first image from Burton and Taylor (BBC4’s latest drama) has been released, and it already looks a heck of a lot more promising than last year’s Lindsay Lohan-starring biopic,  Liz & Dick.

Helena Bonham Carter plays screen legend Elizabeth Taylor, opposite Dominic West’s steely Richard Burton.

The TV film tells the story of the couples’ 1983 Broadway turn in Noel Coward’s Private Lives, and the resulting impact it had on their own personal realtionship.

The 90-minute drama is directed by Richard Laxton, and is already being tipped as award-season gold. With a screenplay written by Made In Dagenham‘s William Ivory, it looks set to be a glitzy, emotional rollercoaster.

No air date has been announced as yet.
