Okay: that headline is unfair. The first 'Last Vegas' trailer isn't 'The Hangover' with old people...it's 'The Hangover' with four actors who were, once upon a time, some of the absolute best in the business. There was a time when when Robert De Niro, Michael Douglas, Morgan Freeman and Kevin Kline headlining a movie would have been a major event. But what about now? The 'Last Vegas' trailer certainly thinks this is a big deal, but is it?
HBO may not have had the same fanfare that AMC did this weekend with the premiere of 'Mad Men' season 6, but we got at least one major reason to watch the pay-cable network apart from a new 'Game of Thrones' episode. The latest full trailer for Steven Soderbergh's Liberace biopic 'Behind the Candelabra' has hit, chronicling the famed relationship between the glamorous pianist (Michael Douglas) and his younger lover Scott Thorson (Matt Damon), but how does HBO's latest buzz-worthy film stand up?
Remember when the first trailer for James Franco's 'Interior. Leather Bar.' hit? The film itself, which recreates the 40 minutes of footage excised from William Friedkin's gay S&M-focused thriller 'Cruising,' is in itself too provocative for the mainstreamers considering it's homosexual content. Even Franco stated sarcastically in the trailer, "Don't show gay sex... that's the f---ing devil!" Well, apparently another film has fallen into this category of being "too gay" for a big-screen wide release, and that's the Matt Damon- and Michael Douglas-starring Liberace biopic 'Behind the Candelabra.'
Here's a little somethin' for the ladies: a snapshot of four Oscar-winning senior citizens chillaxing in Las Vegas. Call it 'The Hang Over-60.' Get it? Okay, sorry, moving on.
As you can see, this is a photo of Morgan Freeman, Michael Douglas, Robert De Niro and Kevin Kline on the set of their new comedy 'Last Vegas,' which we're informed has just commenced production in Sin City. Read on after the break for more details on the film!
'Fatal Attraction,' the classic flick starring Glenn Close as an obsessive woman who can't let go of her one-night stand with Michael Douglas, is currently celebrating its 25th anniversary -- and there's much to celebrate. Aside from turning "fatal attraction" into an overused phrase describing the same sort of warped relationship shown on screen, the film has presently grossed more than $320 million worldwide, was nominated for six Academy Awards and scarred the bejeezes out of unfaithful husbands everywhere.
But the question is, Would the film have been just as successful if the original version was released to theaters?
And for his next trick, Michael Douglas will play former president (and former actor) Ronald Reagan in the upcoming indie film 'Reykjavik' from director Mike Newell. Casting for the jelly beans is still underway.
Who wants to see a bunch of old dudes party like it's 1999 on the big screen? We do! And the gathering is going to happen sooner rather than later for the upcoming geriatric 'Hangover'-type comedy 'Last Vegas.'
Robert De Niro has officially joined 'Last Vegas,' which would have him among four older gentleman traveling to the city of sin for a bachelor party. One imagines that hijinks and supposed hilarity will follow. Michael Douglas is already confirmed to play the bachelor, the other two gentlemen have yet to be cast.
Michael Douglas once played a high-rolling New York City corporate raider in 'Wall Street' and won an Oscar for it. Now he's headed for another town where the money flies fast and loose in the upcoming comedy, 'Last Vegas.'
