Louis Leterrier's THE FIREMAN To Set Ablaze At Fox

Louis Leterrier’s work in action cinema goes largely without saying, namely with credits like The Transporter 1 & 2, Unleashed a.k.a. Danny The Dog and The Incredible Hulk. This time he’s ready to tackle a truly explosive and deadly viral outbreak threatening to wipe out mankind in the new horror thriller, The Fireman. Leterrier will reportedly helm the film adaptation of author Joe Hill’s forthcoming May publication following its rights’ acquisition by 20th Century Fox. Hill’s book sets in New England, New Hampshire where a pregnant nurse, infected amid an outbreak of a disease known as Dragonscale – which causes its host to spontaneously combust over time – fights to survive for the sake of her unborn baby from ruthless posses known as Cremation Squads. With nowhere left to turn, a hero emerges in the form of a fireman – armed with an iron bar and walking the line between […]

Bullets And Beer Over London In The New THE BROTHERS GRIMSBY Poster

Lee B. Golden III

If you’re just tuning in, you’ve sadly been missing the onslaught of trailers that have been making the rounds for Louis Letterier’s new film, The Brothers Grimsby. The comedy is obviously not for the feint of heart and especially if Sacha Baron Cohen is leading the way in that department, which leads to question just how well this odd pairing with actor Mark Strong as long lost brothers will bode upon the film’s release in March. At any rate though, here’s a brand new poster courtesy of IMDb that should help grant an idea or several. Really though, the trailers speak for themselves with gags that go straight for ballsy and outlandish next to some slick-looking action which Letterier is principally known for having helmed quite a few headliners in his career. Also starring are Penelope Cruz who plays our villain with Rebel Wilson, Gabourey Sidibe and martial arts star […]

The hilarity begins on March 11, 2016 when director Louis Leterrier’s latest, The Brothers Grimsby, makes its way to theaters. The film is already making the rounds with three trailers you can view HERE, HERE and HERE, but IGN now brings a fourth trailer, showing plenty more depth to the zany comedy centered on two long lost brothers amid international espionage and intrigue. SYNOPSIS: Nobby (Sacha Baron Cohen), a sweet but dimwitted English football hooligan, reunites with his long-lost brother Sebastian (Mark Strong), a deadly MI6 agent, to prevent a massive global terror attack and prove that behind every great spy is an embarrassing sibling. Nobby has everything a man from Grimsby could want, including 11 children and the most gorgeous girlfriend in the northeast of England (Rebel Wilson). There’s only one thing missing: his little brother, Sebastian, who Nobby has spent 28 years searching for after they were separated […]

Sacha Baron Cohen Fails At Tattoos In The New International Trailer For GRIMSBY

Lee B. Golden III

Following last month’s NSFW trailer for The Brothers Grimsby, a new international one has emerged online. It’s a little less risqué but otherwise still exemplary of a promising action thriller featuring Mark Strong, and with the appearance of Sacha Baron Cohen, a promising dose of sheer ridiculousness. The footage really does speak for itself by the end, and I would probably see it. SYNOPSIS: Nobby (Sacha Baron Cohen), a sweet but dimwitted English football hooligan, reunites with his long-lost brother Sebastian (Mark Strong), a deadly MI6 agent, to prevent a massive global terror attack and prove that behind every great spy is an embarrassing sibling.

Go Mattress Shopping With Sacha Baron Cohen In The New NSFW Trailer For THE BROTHERS GRIMSBY

If you haven’t yet absorbed the idea of director Louis Leterrier honing in on his directorial knack for action-packed entertainment in the company of someone who put audacious characters like Ali G., Borat and Brüno on the map, then you’d be wrong not to. The evidence is now here in the latest trailer for the new espionage comedy, The Brothers Grimsby, with Mark Strong leading point as bullet and bomb-dodging secret agent, whereas it’s Sacha Baron Cohen who gets the girl. As for how he does it… well let’s just say he hasn’t changed a bit! SYNOPSIS: Nobby (Sacha Baron Cohen), a sweet but dimwitted English football hooligan, reunites with his long-lost brother Sebastian (Mark Strong), a deadly MI6 agent, to prevent a massive global terror attack and prove that behind every great spy is an embarrassing sibling.

Scott Adkins Joins Sacha Baron Cohen And Mark Strong For GRIMSBY

Lee B. Golden III

The hardcore fanbase of action star Scott Adkins (Undisputed 2 & 3, Ninja 1 & 2), can celebrate another career move this week involving production of the upcoming British comedy, Grimsby, which starts shooting this summer with Now You See Me helmer Louis Letterier attached to direct. Not much is known yet about how big Adkins‘ role is this time around, but fans of obscene and outlandish laughs are guaranteed a laugh or several with starring actor/writer/producer Sacha Baron Cohen alongside Mark Strong. Sony Pictures picked up the film earlier on for a July 31, 2015 release, with Strong set to play a British black-ops spy forced to go on the run with his long-lost brother, an idiotic English soccer hooligan, played by Cohen; the latter produced the film with co-writers Phil Johnston and fellow Borat and Bruno collaborator Peter Baynham, which pretty much verifies what I said in the […]
