Well, after a brief…let’s call it a hiatus, everything is back to business as usual here at The Cinema Monster. I sincerely hope you all had fun with our Canon segment! It will continue to pop up from time to time and I plan to improve and make it more enjoyable and rewarding in the future. Now, I’ve got some awesome reviews ready to post in the coming days and weeks, plus a few stellar top 10s. But that’s in the future, let’s get into the now. Here’s the latest edition of The Gushing Cinephile!

FIRST LOOK:

Here’s the first look at Lance Armstrong in the upcoming biopic of the cyclist directed by Stephen Frears. I have no idea why they’d cast Lance as himself, it just doesn’t make much sense…I mean…what’s that? That’s Ben Foster…really? Holy Hell! It looks exactly like Armstrong. Geez, that’s even better, love Foster.

Christian Bale as Moses, need I say more? This first look is for the upcoming bible epic “Exodus” directed by Ridley Scott.

CASTING:

Tom Hardy is now confirmed to play Elton John! This might be the greatest thing ever! The biopic is early in pre-production, but with Hardy now attached, it has shot to the top of my most anticipated list.

Kristen Stewart and Nicholas Hoult appear to be the front runners for “Like Crazy” director’s Drake Doremus’ next outing “Equals,” a sci-fi love story. I know this isn’t prime news for a lot of you, but I’m a huge of all three filmmakers, especially Kirsten Stewart, if you know what I mean.

 

HOME VIDEO:

The impeccable, unsettling horror flick “We Are What We Are” is set to hit home video on January 7, 2014. Expect my review for the film this week.
