| They said it couldn't be done. They said that The Human Centipede II: Full Sequence had "a strong focus throughout on the link between sexual arousal and sexual violence and a clear association between pain, perversity and sexual pleasure," such that there was a real risk that it would be classified as obscene and could not be passed by mere cuts. Now, however, the film's received an 18-rating from the BBFC following, er, mere cuts. |

Despite all the festive frippery sitting in the shops, we at Empire Towers figured it was a bit early to start getting Christmas cards. Still, we were delighted to get a look at what we can only assume is Helena Bonham Carter and Tim Burton’s… Wait… Sorry, no, we’re being told this is actually the first look at Bonham Carter as Miss Havisham in the new Great Expectations. Well, it’s an easy mistake to make.
Yes, premiering over at Deadline, these are indeed the first two pics of Carter playing the slowly desiccating Havisham, a woman torn apart by emotional injuries sustained by being jilted at the altar, who is raising her adoptive daughter Estella (Holliday Grainger) as the sort of cold-yet-sexy woman who steals men’s hearts and then pops them into her Cuisinart before hitting “blend”.

It was easy to be all about Thor and Captain America this summer, in the lead-up to The Avengers. But lest we forget, there was another, separate Marvel property that did rather well in 2011, and a sequel to X-Men: First Class is now officially underway, with Simon Kinberg penning his first draft as we speak.
Who he? Well most immediately relevant is that he was one of several writers on X3: The Last Stand, Brett Ratner's appropriation of the reigns from Bryan Singer. He's also got writing credits on Mr and Mrs Smith, Jumper and Sherlock Holmes, and is a writer and producer on the forthcoming This Means War and Abe Lincoln: Vampire Hunter. |

Safe House Trailer Blasts In
No one is safe...

Have you been hankering to see Denzel Washington back playing a truly nasty piece of work just as he was in Training Day? Then you’ll be happy to watch the trailer for Safe House, which features exactly that, all in the service of a high-octane action thriller co-starring Ryan Reynolds. The trailer is online over at Apple.
Directed by Snabba Cash’s Daniel Espinosa, Safe House finds Reynolds as a CIA agent itching for more field experience. But, because you should always be careful what you wish for, he gets far more than he expects when the facility he’s assigned to watch over gets a very high-profile “house guest”: agent-turned-rogue assassin Tobin Frost (Washington). |
