Trailer For A Bigger Splash Dives Online
Recently in the news as the man who's going to remake Suspiria, Luca Guadagnino's previous film A Bigger Splash is on its way to the BFI London Film Festival. And heradling that, here's a new trailer, featuring Dakota Johnson, Matthias Schoenaerts, Ralph Fiennes and a silent Tilda Swinton.
The I Am Love director's latest is a sort-of remake of Jacques Deray's 1969 La Piscine, telling a similar tale of simmering sexual jealousy. Swinton is a rock star, recovering on holiday from an operation on her vocal cords with her filmmaker fling Schoenarts. But their peace is interrupted when her former producer and lover (Fiennes) shows up with his daughter (Johnson).
Having premiered at Venice last month, A Bigger Splash hits the LFF on October 9. It's out in the rest of the UK on February 12 next year.

No Rings In 2015
Announced right at the start of this year, Rings, the new sequel to The Ring, shot in the spring and is now in post-production. Johnny Galecki, Alex Roe and Matilda Lutz head the cast, with F. Javier Gutiérrez directing. We won't, however, be seeing it quite as soon as we thought, since studio Paramount have just yanked it from its November release date. It'll now crawl terrifyingly out of cinema screens next year instead.
Walking the line between threequel and reboot, Rings apparently takes place 13 years after the first of the American remake series, maintaining that continuity. Nothing is otherwise yet known about the storyline, but we can perhaps surmise that Lutz will be the recipient of a videotape (or perhaps some sort of updated media) that puts her on the receiving end of a haunting by well-dwelling onryō ghoul Samara (the American version of Sadako). For a proper history of the complete Ring(u) franchise, check out Empire's handy one-stop guide.
Moving Rings from its original slot means it won't now face competition from the Brad & Angelina-starring By The Sea, the Chilean miners drama The 33, and the comedy Love The Coopers. Paramount will be looking for a quieter date, probably in January or February (so it could Ring in the new year! Sorry...), but haven't set one yet.

Exclusive New International Trumbo Poster Lands
Bryan Cranston cuts a pretty elegant figure for a besieged screenwriter in this new poster showcasing his Oscar-tipped role as Dalton Trumbo. Trumbo sees him in the dock as a suspected communist sympathiser in the early days of the Cold War – Walter Red? - and here he's surrounded by two key figures in his battle for justice. On the left is his wife Cleo Fincher Trumbo (Diane Lane); on the right, Sid Hudgens-alike Hollywood gossip columnist, Hedda Hopper (Helen Mirren).
There’s a rich – and no doubt, deliberate – irony that Hollywood's database of exciting unmade scripts is called the Black List. Back in the late ‘40s, the blacklist was exactly where a screenwriter didn’t want to be. One, Spartacus and Roman Holiday writer Trumbo (Cranston), found himself cast into movie prison when he fell foul of the communist witch hunts of the time.
Jay Roach's film will show how his career was nearly snuffed out by those spurious charges and innuendo. It’s set against a rich Hollywood backdrop haunted by famous figures from Hopper to Kirk Douglas (Dean O’Gorman), Edward G. Robinson (Michael Stuhlbarg) and Otto Preminger (Christian Berkel). Lane is the woman who stands by him as he's haunted by the Red Scare sweeping through the US government and his own film studios.
With Roach directing John McNamara’s script (itself adapted from Bruce Cook’s book on the man), Trumbo will land on these shores in January 2016.

Natalie Dormer Enters The Forest In New Trailer
In time-honoured horror movie tradition, The Forest warns us not to stray from the path. And in time-honoured horror movie tradition, Natalie Dormer doesn't listen. See how big a mistake that is in the new trailer, just unleashed by MTV.
Set in the same location as Gus Van Sant’s Sea Of Trees, The Forest finds a young American woman searching for her vanished twin sister in the Japanese forest of Aokigahara. It’s a place at the foot of Mount Fuji where people traditionally end their lives. But though she’s seeking answers, what she actually discovers is a forest full of the angry souls of the dead who have perished there previously.
Jason Zada (The Houses Of Halloween) directed this one, and the ubiquitous David S. Goyer contributed to the script and is among the producers. The Forest is out in the UK on March 25.
