Have You Seen The New Warrior Poster?

.

Via Glenn at Stale Popcorn who tells it like it is:

"Yeah, our movie is probably shit, but we have sexy Joel Edgerton and Tom Hardy with their shirts off exposing their - let's be blunt - incredible bodies and looking all hot and stuff and now you're gonna see it anyway."

Baz Picked Joel

.

We heard the other day that the role of Tom Buchanan in Baz Luhrmann's apparently 3D Great Gatsby movie was up between recent-gratuity-recipient Aussie Joel Edgerton and the Heterosexual Welshman Luke Evans; well Baz went for his home-boy and Joel got the part. He's the flavor of the moment! Him and Tom Hardy and Michael Fassbender, ohhhhh my. 

Hmm... now there's a Do Dump or Marry for ya...

Joel Edgerton, Tom Hardy, Michael Fassbender... well?

Good Grip Gosling

.

Those are all from Drive, Mr. Gosling's next movie, which is from Bronson helmer Nicholas Winding Refn. Gosling's gonna do for leather racing gloves what Rob Lowe did for jockstraps. There's also a poster and several shots of other people in the film, like Ron Perlman, Carey Mulligan, and Christina Hendricks, at the link where these are from. Gosling has described the film as a meeting of Purple Rain and David Lynch, which okay! Yes, sure. I will watch that. There was a clip making the rounds last week that I never got around to linking to, so here. Has anybody seen Refn's last film Valhalla Rising with Mads Mikkelson yet? I've been sitting on a copy for ages. I looooved Bronson, and not just because of Tom Hardy's constant nudity. I mean, it didn't hurt.

Gratuitous Joel Edgerton

.

Well this seems overdue, doesn't it? We've been enamored with Joel Edgerton since he took his top off and rocked a beard like nobody's business in Animal Kingdom (my review)...



... but his name was popping up around here well before that, mostly due to The Thing remake. (Where the heck is that anyway? October 14th my foot, it's been done for ages. I saw him promoting it at ComiCon last year.) Aussie readers have known Edgerton for much longer, and looking through his credits I see he was in two of the Star Wars prequels? Those things are such a blur, I have no idea. He and his brother also co-wrote the wonderful thriller The Square (my review), which you should seek out if you haven't already seen it. Before The Thing remake supposedly comes out well also see him in Warrior in September, that ultimate fighter movie with Tom Hardy.

You can see worth-looking-at screen-caps from that trailer here. 

Yadda yadda let's stare at Joel now.

I Quit Smoking Three Years Ago Today

.

It's been three whole years since my last smoke, and it seems a lifetime. I can't even really remember being a smoker anymore. It seems bonkers. The amount of money I used to spend! God! Not that I've managed to save money now that I don't smoke. Heroin's expensive, after all. Anyway this being my anniversary it's time for the third in my series (Here's Year 1, and here's Year 2) of celebrating my nicotine extinction event by posting a bunch of picture of really attractive fellows glorifying the nasty habit through the virtue of looking so gosh darn attractive while doing it. Mixed messages ahoy!

.

Hardy Smash!

.

The Base of Bane

.

That picture was supposedly taken by a fan on the set of The Dark Knight Rises, which I'm assuming means there's pre-production going down there, right? They're not actually filming anything yet, are they? Anyway, we all know what a chameleon Tom Hardy can be, so here we have a look at what hair and body-type he ought to be rocking for Bane. I doubt that's his costume, unless Nolan's decided to really really push this thing into the real world even further than he has so far. Everybody's wearing sweatpants this go-round! Anyway, I wanna strap Tom right on, is my point.

An Epic Week of Beefcakery

.

 .

Three makes it epic, right? First we got Ryan Gosling's pec-riddled trailer for Crazy Stupid Love. Then we got Joe Gordon-Levitt prancing around in his boy panties in the Hesher trailer. And now comes the trailer for The Fighter 2: Now With Kicking, aka Warrior, starring Joel Edgerton and Tom Hardy as brothers who never wear shirts and almost make out with each other. Jackpot! Can we have an Immortals trailer next? Can we, can we???
