Paul King directed Wonka, starring Timothée Chalamet, who appears as playful, funny and charismatic as Willy Wonka. Produced by David Heyman, who brought us the Harry Potter franchise and other films, like Once Upon a Time … In Hollywood, the story follows Wonka during his formative years.

The focus is on young Willy, how he met the Oomp-Loompas on his early adventures, and how he established his candy manufacturing business.

Only Heyman can plan such a powerful cast, including Olivia Colman, Ryan Gosling, Hugh Grant, Sally Hawkins and Rowan Atkinson.

Here is a delightful story based on Roald Dahl’s classic novel and character.

“Operation Fortune” Trailer, Clips and Poster

Putting a movie star in harm’s way is like one storyline in a Nicolas Cage film of late. Directed by Guy Ritchie, the film follows super spy Orson Fortune, played by Jason Statham. He must track down and stop the sale of a deadly new weapons technology wielded by billionaire arms broker Greg Simmonds, played Hugh Grant.

Reluctantly teamed with some of the world’s best operatives, played by Aubrey Plaza, Cary Elwes and Bugzy Malone, Fortune and his crew recruit Hollywood’s biggest movie star Danny Francesco, played by Josh Hartnett, to help them on their globe-trotting undercover mission to save the world.

“The Gentlemen” Posters and Trailers Wild, Crazy Story

action, comedy, , , , , ,

Written and directed by Guy Ritchie, The Gentlemen is a star-studded sophisticated action-comedy. The movie follows American Mickey Pearson, who is an expat, played by Matthew McConaughey, who built a highly profitable marijuana empire in London. 

The movie is streaming Amazon and is available in Blu-ray and DVD formats.

When word gets out that he’s looking to cash out of the business forever, it triggers plots, schemes, bribery, and blackmail in an attempt to steal his domain out from under him.
The all-star ensemble cast includes Charlie Hunnam, Henry Golding, Michelle Dockery, Jeremy Strong, Eddie Marsan, Colin Farrell, and Hugh Grant.

The movie trailer shows random acts of killing and silliness. I hope the audience will be able to follow the story.

The second trailer shows how crazy and ridiculous the movie plays out. If you watch the trailer, you will not know anything about the story. The dragon analogy doesn’t make sense.

The featurette shows a cast and crew having a bloody good time.
