Transformers World got their hands on some leaked concept art for Michael Bay’s upcoming fourth instalment, Age of Extinction, which included a placeholder logo for its sequel. That’s about as deep as the scoop gets, though […]

Long is good – Nymphomaniac Vol. 2 review
March 28, 2014 
0 Comments
By Simon Miraudo March 28, 2014 As I concluded my review of Nymphomaniac‘s first volume, I wondered if director Lars von Trier would surprise us with a happy ending in its follow-up. For him, that would truly be shocking. Turns out it was a misjudged prediction. I also said the following: “Lars von Trier may […]

March 6, 2014 0 Comments
Lars von Trier’s four-hour sauce-fest Nymphomaniac has been banned in Turkey. That’s gotta hurt. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the Turkish film board has labelled the flick “pornography” despite it starring legitimate artist Shia LaBeouf in a prominent role. Though it’s unfortunate Turkish art-house aficionados won’t be able to see Nymphomaniac (especially considering it was […]

The first official image from Lars von Trier’s Nymphomaniac – featuring Charlotte Gainsbourg mid-threesome – set tongues wagging. Now comes a new cast picture showing off her co-stars Shia LaBeouf, Jamie Bell, Willem Dafoe, Udo Kier, Stellan Skarsgard, Christian Slater, Uma Thurman, Sophie Kennedy Clark, and Mia Goth. Oh, and capturing it all on his […]

By Jess Lomas April 16, 2013 Many films prompt you to suspend disbelief, ignore that plot hole, and not think too hard about how A equals B. Robert Redford’s The Company You Keep is such a film, in which Shia LaBeouf solves a 30-year mystery that had alluded the top minds at the FBI. Based […]

February 7, 2013 0 Comments
Well, if Lars von Trier considered Melancholia a “comedy,” you may as well start bracing yourself for the depressing assault of his upcoming Nymphomaniac. The first official image from the film features star Charlotte Gainsbourg battered and bruised in an alley, with snow flakes just starting to fall on her unconscious form. At least snow is kinda […]

October 19, 2012 2 Comments
Brace yourselves, because you are about to read something that positions Michael Bay as both reasonable and perhaps even respectable. Earlier this week, Hugo Weaving revealed that he is yet to see any of the Transformers movies in which he provided the voice of Megatron, and that he considered the gig “meaningless.” He is now the […]

October 11, 2012 0 Comments
Lawless – Starring Shia LaBeouf, Tom Hardy, and Guy Pearce. Directed by John Hillcoat. Rated MA. By Simon Miraudo. John Hillcoat‘s Lawless is so low-key it’s practically infrasonic. Utterly untroubled by any expectation to entertain – or even mildly engage – the audience, Hillcoat and screenwriter Nick Cave take a stroll through 1930s Virginia with […]

Ahead of the world premiere of Robert Redford‘s latest film, The Company You Keep, at the Venice International Film Festival, the first trailer has been released and it’s certainly… interesting. It concerns an intrepid young journalist (Shia LeBeouf) who is investigating the story of a former Weather Underground member (an early 70s activist militia) arrested […]

It’s becoming a regular catch-cry, but, you crazy for this one Lars! Shia LaBeouf tells MTV he’s ready to perform real sex acts in Lars von Trier‘s upcoming Nymphomaniac. According to the official synopsis, the film is “the light and poetic story of a woman’s erotic journey from birth to the age of 50.” LaBeouf, who has […]

It’s no surprise that the producers of Transformers are eager to keep pumping out sequels (especially when the most recent film picked up $399 million worldwide on its opening weekend). The return of director Michael Bay and star Shia LaBeouf is doubtful, and although rumour of Jason Statham taking over the lead in any further instalments […]

We feel dirty for even writing this story. According to … ahem … Showbiz Spy (shudder), Jason Statham is being considered to take over the Transformers series. So, we hardly need to tell you that Showbiz Spy is about as dubious as sources come. However, it’s important to note that following Transformers: Dark of the […]

Shia LaBeouf, you had to know you’d pay for your candour one day. His tour of contrition in 2010 – where he apologised for his involvement in cinematic blights Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen and Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull – was not appreciated by everyone, with Indy himself, Harrison Ford, calling him a “f***ing […]

Transformers: Dark of the Moon – Starring Shia LaBeouf, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley and Frances McDormand. Directed by Michael Bay. By Simon Miraudo. In 2007, I left a screening of Michael Bay’s Transformers feeling like an exhilarated schoolboy who had just happened upon his father’s nudie mag collection (or, to translate for today’s teenagers, had just discovered […]

The feature trailer for the third Transformers movie – the Pink Floydian-titled Dark of the Moon – has debuted online. It hints at an incisive commentary on geopolitics and the American government’s relationship with its citizens, as well as a haunting final sequence that evokes Michael Haneke‘s … just kidding! It’s robots punching each other! […]

>The teaser trailer for Michael Bay‘s highly-anticipated (probably) third instalment in the Transformers saga has arrived online. And it ain’t bad!

October 7, 2010 0 Comments
This is what we call a slow news day. The title of the new Transformers film will be the Pink Floyd-flavoured Transformers: The Dark of the Moon. So, Michael Bay must be a fan of prog rock (but not a big enough fan to know the full title of the genre’s highest selling LP). This […]

Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps – Starring Michael Douglas, Shia LaBeouf and Carey Mulligan. Directed by Oliver Stone. Rated M. By Simon Miraudo. Greed may be good, but excess kills films. And Oliver Stone is about as excessive as filmmakers come. He’s a passionate writer/director who lets nothing stand in the way of his point-making: […]

It seems as if the entire cast and crew of Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen are jumping on the hate-bandwagon. Following Shia LaBeouf‘s spray against the film’s quality (or lack thereof), the normally unrepentant director Michael Bay has also admitted that his film basically sucked. In an interview with USA Today from the set of […]

Yikes. Nikke Finke over at Deadline has revealed that Paramount and Michael Bay will not be picking up Megan Fox’s option to appear in Transformers 3. According to Finke’s source, Bay and his screenwriters are working on the script for the latest movie, in which it makes sense for Shia LaBeouf‘s character Sam to have […]

Shia LaBeouf has continued his tour of contrition (or should that be Cannes-trition) by admitting that he “dropped the ball” on Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. The 23-year-old actor is giving plenty of interviews on the Croisette while promoting Wall Street 2: Money Never Sleeps, which made its debut at the […]

Shia LaBeouf is currently in Cannes promoting Wall Street 2: Money Never Sleeps, which is set to make its debut at the festival within the week.
