"Wicked," released with enough green and pink merchandising to choke a horse, has been one of the rare musical extravaganzas to cross over from an audience of theater enthusiasts into the mainstream. Based on the popular Broadway musical starring Idina Menzel and Kristin Chenoweth (which in turn was based on a Gregory Maguire novel of the same name), "Wicked" tells the origin story of the Wicked Witch of the West from "The Wizard of Oz." Elphaba ends up becoming roommates with Glinda (Ariana Grande as the future good witch) while they're both studying magic at university. An unlikely friendship blossoms between the two total opposites -- until it's suddenly tested by the lure of the Wizard and his Emerald City. 

"Wicked" was a smash hit, earning over $700 million at the box office and 10 Academy Award nominations, including Best Picture, Best Actress (Erivo), and Best Supporting Actress (Grande). It ultimately won...

The second installment of Wicked’s title has been recently revealed while the people are still engulfed in the first film’s magic.

Amazon Studios has released a new full-length trailer for their upcoming adaptation The Lost City of Z, which boasts a stellar cast including Charlie Hunnam, Robert Pattinson, Sienna Miller and even the new Spider-Man himself, Tom Holland. This project has been in the works for several years now, with Brad Pitt once in talks to star and Benedict Cumberbatch also circling the project before they both dropped out. Brad Pitt does remain on board as an executive producer, through his Plan B Films company.

Based on author David Grann's nonfiction bestseller, The Lost City of Z tells the incredible true story of British explorer Percy Fawcett (Charlie Hunnam), who journeys into the Amazon at the dawn of the 20th century and discovers evidence of a previously unknown, advanced civilization that may have once inhabited the region.

The Clash’s frontman Joe Strummer had a seismic impact on music as well as the attitudes of impressionable youth. His rebellious attitude and leftist politics inspired a generation to take a stand for what they believed in. Derrick Borte’s new film “London Town” follows a young teenager’s coming-of-age story at the beginning of the punk rock era who happens to befriend Joe Strummer at a crucial point in his life.

As unemployment hits the working class suburbs of London very hard in 1979, 14-year-old Shay (Daniel Huttlestone) is forced to take care of his younger sister while his father (Dougray Scott) works two jobs, but Shay is caught up in the punk scene after being exposed to The Clash from his estranged mother (Natascha McElhone) and meeting 15-year-old scenester Vivian (Nell Williams). When...

Jonathan Rhys Meyers delivers a blistering performance of the Clash's "Clash City Rockers" as Joe Strummer in the latest clip from the upcoming movie, London Town.

The coming-of-age film tells the story of Shay (Daniel Huttlestone), a budding, Clash-obsessed punk who happens to meet Strummer on several occasions (including once in a jail cell). The new clip, however, finds Shay marveling at his hero onstage as he attends a show with his love interest/punk guru, Vivian (Nell Williams).

As for Meyers' portrayal of Strummer, the actor expertly captures the...

“What’s more important: the truth or freedom from it?” could be a question raised as a summary of U.K. punk sensation The Clash, whose music and aesthetics are the backdrop of director Derrick Borte‘s music drama London Town. While The Clash themselves are featured — including Jonathan Rhys Meyers as frontman Joe Strummer — they seem to be a backdrop for a coming-of-age tale about a boy named Johnny (Daniel Huttlestone) who finds inspiration and enlightenment through the band’s rebellious stanzas.

Whether or not the film itself will capture the actual spirit of the punk scene, or merely paint a romanticized version of it is yet to be seen. However, the trailer promises a killer soundtrack and what looks to be a couple of captivating performances. See the trailer below for the film that also stars Dougray Scott, Natascha McElhone, and Tom Hughes.

Experience the music and energy of the 1970s punk underground.

"Experience the music and energy of the 1970s punk underground." IFC Films has released an official Us trailer for a film titled London Town, starring Jonathan Rhys Meyers as iconic musician Joe Strummer of the band The Clash. Not to be confused with the musical London Road, this film is set in the 1970s about a 15-year-old boy introduced to the iconic punk rock band The Clash and it changes his life forever. Daniel Huttlestone stars as Shay, Nell Williams as Vivian, along with Tom Hughes, Natascha McElhone, Dougray Scott and Kerry Howard. This looks like it might be a great double feature with Sing Street, or any punk rock film from England. Featuring music from The Clash, The Ramones and Buzzcocks. Fire it up. Here's the official Us trailer (+ poster) for Derrick Borte's London Town, direct from IFC's YouTube: In 1970's London, when 15-year-old Shay hears the music...

As the frontman for the influential punk group The Clash, Joe Strummer’s rebellious attitude and political lyrics inspired and influenced an entire generation. Such is the premise of the new film “London Town,” a coming-of-age story about a kid who’s whole world is turned upside down by punk rock. One day, 14-year-old Shay (Daniel Huttlestone) receives a tape of The Clash from his estranged mother leading him on a path of self-discovery. He juggles familial responsibilities after his father (Dougray Scott) suffers an injury with a romance involving a young scenester Vivian (Nell Williams) and his burgeoning relationship with Strummer, played by Jonathan Rhys Meyers. Watch a trailer for the film below.

Over the years, several movie characters have found themselves instantly falling in love with a person because of their cool taste in music, from Natalie Portman changing Zach Braff’s life with The Shins to Joseph Gordon Levitt getting his mind blown when Zooey Deschanel says she likes The Smiths, but director Derrick Borte’s London Town looks like it’s an entire movie based on that idea. This trailer features Daniel Huttlestone as an innocent kid in ‘70s England who asks a cool girl what she’s listening to on the train. After some playful banter, she tells him: The Clash. From there, the kid dyes his hair, argues with his dad, starts hanging around with some punks, and eventually he even meets Joe Strummer himself—played here by Jonathan Rhys Meyers.

London Town will be in theaters and on-demand services on October 7.

Jonathan Rhys Meyers is taking on The Clash’s Joe Strummer in the upcoming movie, “London Town”. Set in 1979, the film follows a Clash-loving teen who, by chance, crosses paths with Strummer in this coming-of-age tale.

The upcoming film London Town tells the story of a Clash-obsessed teenager who crosses paths with Joe Strummer by happenstance in 1979 and finds his life changing as a result. It stars Jonathan Rhys Meyers (Match Point, Bend It Like Beckham) as the punk singer and Daniel Huttlestone (Into the Woods) as the teen, Shay.

The Lost City of Z, a long-anticipated adaptation of the New York Times bestseller by David Grann, will finally land on the festival circuit this year, potentially at Cannes but more likely later in the fall, and thanks to a three-minute sales reel, audiences can now soak up a fairly stunning first look at the Amazonian adventure.

James Gray, the visually decadent director of The Immigrant, is behind the camera for the pic, which finds Charlie Hunnam (Sons of Anarchy, Pacific Rim) taking on the plum role of Percy Fawcett, a “conscripted soldier and born explorer who disappeared in the 1920s while searching for a mythical city in the Amazon jungles of Brazil that he believed he discovered on a prior expedition.”

Robert Pattinson, Sienna Miller, and Tom Holland all co-star in the award-tipped movie, which boasts some jaw-dropping cinematography by the acclaimed Darius Khondji. Pattinson is playing Fawcett’s partner in exploration,...

Here’s a first look at Jonathan Rhys Meyers as The Clash’s Joe Strummer in director Derrick Borte’s London Town.

In 1970s London, a 14 year old boy is introduced to The Clash by his estranged mother and it changes his life forever.

Strummer died suddenly at age 50 on December 22, 2002 in his home at Broomfield in Somerset, England, from an undiagnosed congenital heart defect. Rolling Stone voted London Calling, the Clash’s classic 1980 album (released in 1979 in the UK) as the best album of the Eighties. Their 1982 song Should I Stay Or Should I Go was their biggest Us hit.

The coming-of-age drama is written by Kirsten Sheridan, Sonya Gildea and Matt Brown (director of The Man Who Knew Infinity) and produced by Tom Butterfield, Sofia Sondervan and Christine Vachon.

Daniel Huttlestone (Into The Woods) also stars.

Into the Woods is hitting on Blu-Ray March 24th, and this one has a lot of great bonuses. Of course, it’s to be expected from Disney, but beyond that, this is one that doesn’t even need a lot of bonuses. Check our Into the Woods review here for the full report on the film itself.

Among the bonuses are a commentary track, several behind-the-scenes featurettes, and a look at the cast.

Not only was this a really great movie (and I’m no huge musical fan), but it’s one that, like most things Disney, is going to go into heavy rotation.

Rob Marshall has had plenty of success in the world of musical motion picture. His 2002 film adaptation of Chicago won Academy Awards and boosted Marshall’s name into the Hollywood “it crowd” in the process. Following up Chicago with a lovely adaptation of the Arthur Golden novel, Memoirs of a Geisha, showed Marshall was an accomplished director who was capable of more than musicals. Those two films showed style, heart and confidence.
